Ember Seth just stood there and pulled the knife out as if I didn't just freaking stab him. My gun was still pointed at him. This was creepy as fuck. " What the fuck, Seth?" I said, keeping my gun up. Was he going to kill me?"Nice throw", he said. Before I could blink, he had already snatched the gun out of my hand and tossed it on the bed before picking me up and holding me against the wall. It was an intimate position, and I was breathless as I stared into his eyes. He took a sniff in the air before growling lowly, putting his head against my neck. I knew I would be freaking out, but the sparks from his nose to my neck threatened a moan to come out. I was still. Unmoving. I wanted this moment to last forever. Reality set in and I pushed him away from me. "Why are you here Seth?", I asked him. I looked at the door, which was opened a little. How the hell did he even get in?"Carter has a key to your apartment. I came to talk", he replied. Laying on the bed. I grabbed a med kit fr
Ember I woke up with Seth gone. I figured he wouldn't have stayed. I had hoped I had gotten through to him though. I realized through my speech last night, I wanted him. I wanted them both, wolves and all. I knew they would keep me protected. With time, I could get Seth to open up to me. I could see the breakthrough in his eyes yesterday. I had finally pierced his thick wall just by being honest. I looked at my phone and saw a text from Carter. Be dressed by 12pm. Seth and I are taking you out. Bring your bathing suit.. A date with them both? Well, this was bound to be interesting. I didn't have a bathing suit and planned to go to Walmart to pick one up. I washed up and got dressed. It was ten am. I drove to Walmart, using GPS. I still was not as familiar with the area since I stayed inside most of the time. While shopping, I felt like there were eyes on me. I looked around, but didn't see anyone. Feeling nervous, I picked the swimwear I was looking at and started driving. A black
Ember "What's wrong, I asked them?". I was wondering if I had done something wrong. Deep down, I knew they both were probably just pleased at my outfit. " Nothing, I'll be in the car", Seth said, before leaving me and Carter on the stairs. He was on me at once, inhaling my scent with his arms wrapped around my waist. I couldn't help but look into his eyes. He was so fucking handsome. I looked at his lips, and pulled him into me, kissing him. His lips were always so warm. I just couldn't get enough of them. Tasting him made me think of Seth. What would it be like, to have both of their lips on me? Savoring my skin like it was their last meal. I slightly moaned against the kiss, which enticed Carter even more. He pulled back and his eyes were glazing over. " Seth says he will leave us both here if we don't come right now", he said, pecking me on the nose. I was still breathless from the kiss. Getting ourselves under control, we gathered ourselves and went into the car. We took Seth's
Ember We arrived back on the pack land with one thing in our minds. We wanted each other, and we were going to take each other. My mind was blown earlier. Being able to squirt into Seth's mouth and being handled by Carter. The intensity that these two wanted me, just as much as I wanted them back. How did I even become this person? Polygamy relationships were not frowned upon in this day and age. In fact, many celebrities were famous for it. It was the fact that I had never considered myself capable of it. My parents had a one-woman, one-man mindset. I was happy to explore these new chapters, though, I wouldn't deny it. Something inside of me feels like it is missing. It has felt that way ever since I first came onto these pack lands. Maybe it was just the need to fuck my mates. I wasn't sure, but it unsettled me. However, I put that far out of my mind as we arrived. They could smell my lust, and they knew I wanted them both. I was theirs, and there wouldn't be any change to that.
Carter "Why did you guys come back so early" I asked dad. We ended up in the bar lounge of our home while mom dragged Ember off, most likely to the gardens, which were always her favorite part of the house. "We crossed paths with Jordan and Damien and decided to visit home before Franklin, your mother and I went back to the Bahamas, " Dad said, and we nodded. They were always working on new designs. Damien was Seth's younger brother and Jordan was my younger brother, both by a year. Coincidently, they were born around the same time as the red moon, which was a rare moon that came to pass every hundred years. The red moon had no real significance for Seth and I, but it had the strangest effect on Jordan and Damien, turning them from birth into half vampire, half wolf shifters. Hybrids are rare but not unheard of. They were still considered special and part of the pack, as some of their powers allowed us to still speak in the pack link. They, like Seth and I, became best friends as we
Jordan "My head is fucking killing me ", I linked to Damien, as we sat in this boring ass meeting with some of our shareholders. "So is mine", Damien linked back. Usually, with any injury, our wolf/vampire line will just heal within seconds, and we will be good as new. Perks of being hybrids. We were born on the red moon, or the blood moon as some liked to call it. Normally, we would have been simple wolves, had we been born on some other day. However, because we were born at the exact peak of the red moon Eclipse, our wolf DNA merged with that of the power of the red moon, turning us into hybrids. I find it funny that our brothers were born the same way a year before us, just under the blue moon. I am the younger brother of Carter. We are just alike in so many ways, and are close, but I was never as close to him as he is with Seth. They are like a second skin. I would have been jealous of it, had Damien not been born as my twin moon brother. We are all linked by the moon in one wa
Damien Jordan and I made our way to see Agatha. She would know for sure what is up with these killer headaches. Why were Jordan and I feeling them at the same time? We had never shared any sort of pain like this before. Well, with the exception of the bond we have. One could always sense when the other was in trouble, but we never shared the same pain. Was this because we were hybrids? Once we made it to Agatha, she welcomed us into her home. Agatha was always a strange old woman for as long as I can remember. She kept to herself mostly, unless it was helping to heal injured wolves with her remedies. Her long grey hair was pulled into a bun and her eyes were the color of fire. Red with hints of orange. Only her eyes told her true age though. Eyes that almost seemed sad were always sad with the knowledge she had been made to give through the gods as their seer. To anyone else, she would look like your normal elderly African American woman. "Come in boys", she said from her kitchen. I
Ember I was taking a shower before dinner when I suddenly realized I was feeling nervous. This feeling had been with me for the last few hours. I just figured it was due to me having the first dinner with Seth and Carter's parents, though I was also feeling like it could be due to something else, but what? Why was I so anxious? Also, I was wondering why the smell of berries and fresh bagels was filling my nose. My mind was in overdrive. I knew Carter and Seth were making the dinner, so maybe that could be it, but I was strangely smelling this before they started cooking. Maybe they had someone bring some strong-smelling berries and bagels in or something. I didn't know. All I know, was that it appealed to my senses. Just as much as Carter and Seths's honey and citrus smell appealed to me as well. Lost in my thoughts, I hadn't realized my alarm was going off. Shit. I was going to be late. I rushed and dried my hair and body, putting on my clothes after. I decided to let my hair swing
Ember to the Camera in Present Time. "You guys really did outdue yourselves on my gift", I told my mates while turning off the camera for a moment. It was getting a little hot from being on so long. Two of my mates sat on each side as we all told our story. " You would have been surprised earlier if it was not for Jordan making you tired", Damien said, smirking at Jordan. Jordan threw his hands up. " Hey, you all had her alone before I could as well. Fair is fair", he said, winking at me before kissing me on the head. "That is true", Seth said, in agreement. "Lets finish the story", Carter said, positioning the camera."And so we shall", I replied before turning the camera back on. Seth Jordan's task was to keep Ember busy for the morning while we gathered Ember's surprise together. She wanted to spend today with Carter and I to celebrate our birthday, but neither Carter nor I cared about that. All we wanted to do was please our mate, as we had come to realize now. She deserved
Ember Since my mates were all currently busy, I decided to take advantage of the moment I was given with Jordan. It was very minimal that I had time to spend with them individually as the rest of them craved my attention as well. I spent time alone with all of them, except Jordan, yet he never complained about it at all. This is what I was thinking as I gazed up at him. He looked back down at me, with his green eyes full of so much love and admiration. I pulled him into a kiss, and his response was quick. Feeling his emotions through the bond, I know he too craved one on one time with me as well. He then pulled back from me. "Are you sure, Ember?", he asked me, wanting reassurance. It was only three days ago we had been through the biggest battle of our life, and yet, rather than still being shaken up about it, I not only still had my mates, but all enemies to our bond and pack were now dead. The hardest part was over. I felt peace now, and all I wanted at that moment was to enjoy t
Jordan (Three Days Later)The days passed by quickly and soon we were saying goodbye to all the species. Cole and Mia were about to leave to go back home to the Black Alder Pack land. They both stayed over to be sure everything was over with and would go back to normal after the battle with War. "You have one lucky mate, Jordan. She reminds me of our Luna, Elena.", Cole said, while watching Mia speak with Ember. With the future looking bright, so was she, as her red hair seemed to almost glow brighter in the sun. She looked at me and I could feel the wave of her happiness shining on me just as bright as the day."How so?" I asked him. "She, too, was blessed by Selene with powers. She is also a Lycan. Her sons, Aiden and Ethan, are born lycans as well. Your mate turned the four of you into lycans by her blood alone. That is very remarkable. I am sure Elena will be happy to know our pack is not the only ones that hold them." he said. "Send her contact information over to us. I am sur
Ember War held out his ring to me, using its power to keep me in place. "You've lost" he said before laughing. Using my power, I blasted him away from me by screaming. He was sent flying through the mansion and into the garden. My heart was broken. My mate-bond was destroyed. My life is finally ruined. My mates......My mates....."FUCK", I screamed again, as he stood back up quickly only to be sent flying though more walls of the mansion. He phased and ended up behind me punching me in the back. I was sent flying onto the table. "Stop fighting , Ember. You have nothing left", he said, waving his hand. I was knocked into the fridge before he dropped me on the floor. I looked up at him and tried screaming again to send another blast of power at him, but he waved his hand. I could no longer make out any sound. I could not speak. He raised his ring, holding me in place. My body was sore from being tossed around like a rag doll. "Your mates had hidden their entire pack from me, somehow
Carter Fuck! I growled in the family link. We were all feeling the impact of Jordan's death strongly and the entire pack was unrestful. Seth was controlling them. Damien was missing. He cut himself off from the pack link to go and find Ember, who is now possessed by War. We feared the loss of Jordan would unhinge him, and he would kill Ember. We could no longer feel her. It was as if she disappeared completely. "How did you all come back?" I asked mom. She was sitting beside dad with a bag of ice on her head. Jax and Agatha had the same thing to theirs as they complained of a severe head banging pain they were experiencing when they were released from the pain. Ivy was sitting next to Jax, comforting him. "Honestly, I am not sure. I remember fighting Jor...." she started before choking up. She couldn't even form full sentences. " It was dark and cold. We felt like spectators in our own bodies. I called out to you boys, hoping you all would hear me, but I didn't feel you at all. Ins
Ember I woke up with someone shaking me. "Ember. Ember, wake up", the deep voice said. My eyes shot open, only to see War standing above me. I shoved him away from me. "Get away from me", I screamed at him, but my powers did not work. I could not feel my power at all, or my mates. War backed away and raised his hands. "Hey. It's okay, love. I'm not War. I'm Ryder. We are stuck in his realm", War said. I looked closely at War. This was another trick. I stood up. "That's bullshit.", I told him and looked around. The ground beneath me was charred as if burned. Smoke rose from it. There were a few trees were burnt. You could see nothing but skulls on the smoky ground. "Where am I, War? What have you done?", I asked him. The memory of me stabbing Jordan came into my mind. I sunk to my knees. "Jordan", I cried out. I was not sure what happened, or how I even allowed War to enter me. I remember making my way back to my mates as they were fighting war, but War somehow made Agatha, Jess
Seth The smell of blood and the sounds of gunshots filled the air as we were fighting War and his demon army. Even with our combined power and fighting abilities, war was still able to keep up with all four of us in every direction. It was like he would know exactly just where one was coming for an attack and would move swiftly out of the way before we could strike. He was now the focus of the four of us as our pack and allies kept his army away from the five of us. "Did you think I did not know you would come for her?", he taunted, slapping Carter's Lycan wolf. He smashed against a tree but was back on his feet in an instant. " You will never have our mate," Damien growled at him from behind as he struck, but War dodged his attack and kicked him, sending him crashing into the mansion of the packhouse. It was the ring. It had to be the ring. How else would he know where all of our moves were going to be? We had planned to leave Ember out of this fight. Just grab her and get her out
(The night of the Blue Moon)Carter The moon sat high in the sky as it took its place. Werewolves everywhere were getting ready to mate or find a possible chosen one, not knowing that the events we face tonight could impact them, should we fail. Howls echoed through the night as we prepared to advance into Tallahassee territory. Seth and I led the front lines. Mom, Dad, Agatha and Jordan lead each of the sidelines. Cole, Mia, and Jax lead their teams behind us to take on the second wave of enemies. Damien is tasked with grabbing Ember. We figured she would be heavily guarded, but with Damien's power, he could have her out in no time. Our job was to clear a path for everyone else. After doing so, Damien, Seth, Jordan and I would head straight for War. Mom, Dad, and Agatha would lead their teams against the third wave of the hell army as we fought War. We made sure to block off all main roads, so humans would not witness what was about to unfold tonight. Before we left, everyone turned
Jordan Three weeks. Three weeks since, we had seen a glimpse of Ember's beautiful face. She told us in our link not to come for her, or she would pay the price. Of course, being her mates, we attempted to come for her, but were blocked off by hundreds of Wars soldiers blocking the border. We could have killed our way through them easily, but not at the risk of Ember getting hurt again. We lost communication with her right as she said he was putting the bracelet back on her. The blue moon was less than seventy-two hours away. Many of the allied shifters from Black Diamond agreed to fight with us to not only get our mate back but defeat an enemy that seeks to destroy us all. We were bringing War, to War, and taking our mate back in the process. We could only hope she knew what she was doing. A phone call came through from an old business partner of mine, Roland Black, Alpha of the Black Alder packhouse in South Carolina, to discuss the plan. He, too, had heard of the coming war, and h
