Ember " I knew you were here", I told him with a small smile. I tried to sit up. He held me, helping me. " I know.", he said. He pulled me to him gently and kissed my forehead. " I am so glad you are okay", he said to me. " I'm not. This bracelet is blocking my powers, and he bled me in his car. I am very weak.", I told him. " I know". He said. I stood up out of bed and picked me up in his arms bridal style. "How did you get in here, and how are we getting out?", I whispered. Before I finished talking, we were phased from his pack to the forests near the Miami highway. "You can phase!", I said, looking up at him shocked. I had never knew this. He smirked. "You thought you were the only one with powers, love", he replied. I shrugged. He sat me down on the ground gently before taking out a vial. "Hold out your arm with the bracelet", he said. I did as requested. He poured the contents of the vial on it, and it snapped unlocked. I rubbed my wrist, happy to have it off as it was
DamienHunger. That is what I felt as her blood seeped into me. Pure hunger. Not only for her blood, but also for her body. As she moaned from my blood flowing into her, I couldn't help the pulse I started feeling from my dick. This.... This was right. Everything in this moment, was just right. Why had I been such a dick all this time? I had always felt like there was something I was missing from my life, and now, I knew I had found it, though I didn't even understand it myself. She was everything I had always wanted and more, yet I was too blinded by hate to see it. Now, I see her. I fully see her. Every drop of her blood seeped memories. Her memories. She would see mine as well. I saw her life play before my eyes, from the time she was born, to now. My Ember. My love. Been through so much heartache and heartbreak that no one should ever have had to go through. Here was my ass of a mother, putting her through even more. Whispering in my ear like a snake or demon. When all this time
Ember We phased back home, still nude. Damien phased us into the bathroom of his own room to take a shower as we spent many more hours entwined on that island. Once we finished, Carter came in, lifting me up, and giving me a huge hug. "Carter", I whispered, and he took my already swollen lips onto his. Not giving me a chance to speak. He had missed me, and that much was clear. I could feel it in our bond, just as I could feel the other's wants for me. He pulled back, so both of us could catch our breath. " I've fucking missed you", he said, and I blushed. "I have missed you too". I told him. We walked arm in arm to the kitchen where Damien had already left to get something to eat from the fridge. As soon as I entered, I was surrounded by Seth and Jordan, who both pulled me in a hug before kissing me. I was finally surrounded by all four mates who looked at me with nothing but love. In my reflection from a mirror, I saw my eyes glowing. I wondered if this would happen each time, I
Carter"What did you find out regarding his ring?", I asked Seth. We have been in the library pouring over every book we can find about the horsemen War. I was surprised at how much information there was. So many legends of the mighty war. Many people thought that it was Ares who instigated fights or put horrible thoughts into the minds of others, but it was actually his first in command. War whispered into the ears of men, and Ares loved to fight, winning each battle he came across. Together, with the other horsemen, they helped kings and emperors conquer lands. "Just the same stuff you have already read. Most of these things seem like legends, but no one has ever come close to figuring out how to kill him. We know he loves creating battles," Seth said, and I nodded. "His ring", I told him. "What about it?", he asked me. I showed him a book I found which showed his ring clearly. "Ember says Iris told her we have to smash his ring. It's the source of his power. None of the books s
Ember I woke up in Damien and Jordans' bed with them both missing. It was still nighttime. Carter came in as I woke up and planted a kiss on my head. "Hey red", he commented. I was still naked. He handed me his shirt, knowing I preferred to be in it rather than naked all the time."Seth?" I asked. "In the dungeons with Franklin, speaking to Ruby", he replied. My eyes narrowed. I didn't want him anywhere near Ruby. "I will be with you soon, Babygirl", Seth's voice came into my mind. "Damien, Jordan", I asked Carter. "Woke up before you. There were some things they needed to attend to", he said. "More important than me?" I asked him. I was not sure why I was feeling so helpless for them both, but I craved their presence more than anything right now. "Actually, it has everything to do with you. They went to the Black Diamond. Just like Seth and I changed, there were changes in them both as well. Their need for blood had increased and they went to the club to feed. I am sure they
Ember I phased close to my childhood home in Tallahassee. It has been so long since I have been here. Memories of escaping fell over me like a plague as I approached. I knew War would soon be alerted to my presence, sensing I was back here. I phased out with only one thing in mind. Saving Ivy. Damien phased my mates and Jax here, behind me, pulling me back. They could cross into the territory now, it seemed. "What the hell, Ember? Are you trying to get yourself killed?", Damien said, annoyed. Before I could reply, the strange pit in my stomach that something was wrong tingled inside of me, and I pushed Jordan down to the ground just in time as a bullet echoed in the air, striking me in the shoulder. It would have gone through Jordan's heart had I not pushed him down first. "Trap", I grunted as I fell, with Seth catching me. They worked fast. Gunshots started going off as different men started approaching us from all directions. The pain was terrible, but I was certain the bullet to
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
(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
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
