All Chapters of The Ember In The Dark: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

I quickly turned around as he began to take his towel off. "Uh, what do you think you're doing?" I almost yelled at him. "Getting dressed." He said it so nonchalantly. "You do realize I am standing right here, right?" I asked bewildered."Yeah I know. I don't mind if you look." He chuckled. This guy really is shameless. "My husband would mind. I would mind." "You mean the same husband that left the curtains open while he bent you over that little table?" Zain stood directly behind me now. He was close enough that I could feel the heat radiate off his body. I froze realizing what he was saying. He had seen Dex and I having sex earlier. Did he watch the entire time? My face was probably beet red right now. "You pervert! Were you watching us the whole time?" I snapped at him. "You were putting on quite a show. It was impossible to look away." His lips tickled my ear as he spoke, sending goosebumps down my back. I very quickly stepped further away from him. If he were fully dres

"What do you want with my wife?" Dex asked him. He tried to keep his tone calm, but I could hear the anger stirring in him. "Just to tell her the truth." Zain wasn't phased by Dex. "Hey, keep your eyes on me." Dex yelled at Zain.I wasn't looking, but I could feel Zain's eyes penetrating my skin. I hid into Dex's chest further. I didn't like the feeling his eyes were bringing me. It was too familiar…a familiar I'm worried about."Tell me what you want with my wife." I could tell Dex was now using his siren magic to get to the truth. "I want to make her mine. She's meant to be with me." Zain answered plainly. He'd said that to me earlier today…meant to be."What do you mean?" Dex was holding me tightly against him. He was getting angrier with each word Zain spoke. "She's my beloved. It's the equivalent of destined one to us witches. She'll help me unlock stronger magic that only my beloved can." Zain was deep in Dex's trance. His voice sounded melodic and dazed. My mind was reelin

Zain's P.O.V.That siren really thinks that I would fall that easily into his trap. My mother taught me a long time ago how to guard my mind. He never really locked away my memories. Even if he would have, they wouldn't have stayed locked away. He can't just make this bond disappear. It's not up to him to deny me. I honestly never expected to meet my beloved here. I definitely never thought she'd be pregnant and married. It doesn't matter though, I'll take her just the way she is. I'll have her come to me before I need to leave. I've never had a problem making a woman fall for me. This won't be any different. Hell, it may even be easier. I'm sure she feels the bond too. She's feisty though and extremely strong. She likes it dirty too. I watched how much she enjoyed being bent over like that. Her body is so beautiful and I can't wait to explore it myself. I won't let that siren keep us apart. He can try as much as he likes, but I'll take what's mine. I need to get Ember alone again

"Hey." I felt someone shaking me awake. "Are you okay? Can you hear me?" My eyes slowly began to open as I started to regain consciousness. My vision was still blurry. I could see familiar black hair that hung in waves. As my eyes adjusted I saw beautiful tan skin and met those all too familiar chocolate brown eyes. "Toni?" I whispered, my heart heavy in my chest. "No, I'm sorry, I don't know who Toni is. I think we should get you to a doctor." He said as he picked me off the floor. His touch felt like it was healing me. I began looking around the house. Everything that had happened was fluttering back into my mind. Where's Zain? I saw blood on the kitchen island. I followed it down to Zain's lifeless body on the floor. I yelled in horror. The last time I saw a dead body was when Toni had passed. "Don't look." The man told me. "Tell me where the doctor is here." I pointed out the front door and then right. "Who are you?" I

Dex and I headed out of the clinic shortly after I woke up. Dex wouldn't let me walk again. He was being very protective and I could tell he was still feeling bad for not being here."Oh your mom called while you were sleeping. I let her know what was going on. She couldn't believe it. Your mom said they got the blue flame. Your dad ended up getting hurt, but nothing he won't heal from. Those were her words." Dex smirked. "She said Kaitlyn will probably seek revenge so we need to be on our guard. Your mother is going to reach out to other witches to see if they will help Ash and Layla." There was so much to unpack right there. I hadn't thought about Kaitlyn in all this. Zain is her child after all, of course she's going to want revenge. As a mother I understand that completely. I feel terrible for causing her that kind of pain. I can't imagine what I would do if I lost Gabriel or Nova. That's too terrible a thought to dwell on.Mom and dad got the flame. So we have everything we nee
