"you aren't even remorseful," she said angrily, and I shrugged again,"I don't see why I need to be, seeing as I have done no wrong," I said,"of course, you haven't. I don't even know why I came here today." she angrily replied,"of course you do. You wanted to put me in my place for having the aud
EMBER'S POVI walked out of Paris's pack land angrier than ever. Typical Paris. It was just his way to spin things around so that he looked like he had no wrong and I was simply acting up.At least Jean had apologized. He had owned up to his mistake, and was actually sorry. But not Paris. Paris was
"Perhaps, when I'm able to prove to myself and every other person that I can take care of myself. How do I prove that point with you and Paris trying to make a fuss out of everything?""This wasn't us making a fuss, Ember. And the truth is, we didn't do this because we felt this wand's something you
EMBER'S POV"Too full of hatred and bitterness is a bit too much, don't you think, Ember?" Kate said, shifting from one foot to another, and I eyed her curiously,"Too much for you, Kate? No, I don't think so. Considering the fact that you almost killed me, and still had the audacity to confront me
I waited for her to say whatever made her mouth flop though, but no sound came until she finally heaved out a sigh,"I know an apology isn't enough to fix everything. Surely it won’t be enough to fix this. So, I'm willing to do all that I can, all that I need to, to fix this. So whatever it takes, w
PARIS'S POV"That's unkind, Paris," she said and I leaned back on my chair and faced the screen, but in truth, I wasn't watching it. My mind was in a whole lot of different places. One of them, and the core center was the fact that Ember and Jean had made up.I didn't want Ember to spend the rest of
I never tried to think about what the situation with Ember was doing to my mother, because I was too focused on keeping Christina locked away from society. Even now, with it right in front of me, forcing me to look at it, I still did not want to deal with it.I hated to think about all of the things
Ember's POVI got the invite from Luna Lara and knew from the get-go it was nothing good, but alas when I read the letter, it was more than clear to me that he was clearly trying to spite me."Please, grace this occasion of my daughter's homecoming with your presence, as it would mean a lot to me, a
EMBER'S POV"there you are," Axel announced when he found me still on my hair, contemplating my life,"You were looking for me?""yeah. I said I'd come to watch you guys train. I stepped outside, but found the training ground empty, and wondered where you all went.""Well, we were there." I told hi
"good. Now come at me again, and this time around, use the element of surprise. I suppose we can make this lesson four."By noon, my body was different kinds of sore, and achy, and this time around, when Jean stretched out his hand toward me to help me up, I refused to take it, lest he make us go an
EMBER'S POV"Well now," I said and struggled against his hold."you're going to have to do better than that if you want to be free of me, Baby girl.""No fair, you had not even announced the beginning of the lesson." I wailed,"The same way that bear isn't always going to announce its attack. I'm s
And then I remembered and I groaned,“I forgot.” I sighed and rubbed at my eyes, before trying to sit up, “You can tell him to wait for me, I should be down soon.”I said and caught him looking at me uncertainly and I laughed,“You don’t believe that I’m up for real?”“I don’t believe you won’t go r
EMBER’s POV“They want you to wrestle a bear?” Jean asked looking just as shocked as I had felt when I heard the news and I nodded soberly,“They say it’s the only way for me to prove myself as being strong and worthy,” I said and took my seat on Jean’s couch.I had come to tell him what had befalle
EMBER's POV"wrestle a bear?" I asked in utter confusion, as I looked from my father to my brother and back to my father again, hoping one of them would tell me that it was all a joke. But they stayed looking so sober that I knew that this wasn't a joke of any sort.But they stayed, looking sober, a
EMBER's POV"He has refused a countless number of times we've shoved it up his face. What makes you think this time will be any different?" William asked, looking at me like he didn't think I was sure I knew what I was talking about.But I was sure. I mean, I had heard him correctly. And even now, I
"maybe. How are you? Were you able to get some work done today? All of that?" I asked, and he tilted his head, smiling at me,"So you want company?" he asked, his French accent going sultry, and I suddenly felt very warm. This wasn't what I had been aiming for, but I liked it very much."That would
Ember's Pov There comes a time in everyone's life when they decide that they've had enough of all of the crises they've had to deal with in life. And after that, they simply need a break.I didn't know how to get my break, but Paris had offered me one. The words he said to me when he saved me had c
