Ember's POVTwo thoughts ran through my mind. Firstly, I didn't know what animal had snuck into the safe tunnel. It was almost like being stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. I needed to leave as soon as possible.The footsteps that were approaching stopped and I knew that they had also heard the warning that I did. I was probably trapped with an animal. The next thing I did was to bolt from that place. That was the only option, if not I was going to die. It let out a growl again before chasing after me.Now this was a mess because the mud had become sticky, the rogues that had come in after me had messed up the place. I was doing too many things at the same time. I was making sure that my legs were stepping on the right places so that I didn't get sucked up in the puddle that could make me slip and fall.Louder growls echoed from the tunnel as it ran towards me. Man, I was competing with a highly skilled animal.I jumped when I felt the ram of its horns at my butt. Shit!
Dearest Readers, I apologize in advance for I would be indisposed and will be taking a break from now until the end of the month and will resume updates by June 1st due to health issues. You wouldn’t believe that despite being on a sick bed, I’m still plotting on a new book which I really think you’d all like🥹 Anyways, put me in your prayer and I promise to resume updates as soon as I get well. I love you all and really am thankful for your support all this while…Thank you once again and do have a pleasant day/evening (it’s evening here btw)
Ember's POVI froze when I saw that there was probably something wrong somewhere, my eyes were focused on the rescuer and before I knew what was happening, I had been plucked out of the way only for the wolf to ram into the wall. I clung to the person holding me like a monkey would to a tree. It was a relief that I was able to find support. I turned to see the growling wolf. It had red eyes and a large tail, it was totally different from the kind of wolves that we were used to. "Who sent you?" The man demanded. His grip was still strong as he helped me. I would have had a problem with him holding me in my intimate area close to his. But I think that was the furthest thing in his mind. Sadly, he was wearing a mask that I really wanted to pull off before remembering that he would be distracted and that would do me no good. The wolf growled in response. It was angry but I wondered at what. For all I knew I didn't offend it.The man's gaze remained ahead but he spoke. "You need to ge
Ember's POVI groaned softly, making a little turn around the bed, but I didn't feel anything. My hands went further to feel his chest, but the only thing I felt was the soft pillow close to me.That was weird because today was weekend that we had promised to spend together.As a result of this, I opened my eyes slowly, fluttering my brows twice to get a clearer vision of the room, only to realize that Xander was no longer beside me"Morning love”I heard the sweet and seductive voice of Xander, and it immediately made a smile curve up my lips. Raising the pillow closer to me, I rested it against my chin and continued to stare at Xander."You're up so early? You promised you'd stay with me today." I pouted.He chuckled slightly, "You look so cute when you do that” walking closer to me and held my chin. What I felt next was his soft lips on mine, greedily I held it and sucked on his lips while stylishly trying to lure him back to bed."I'm sorry baby, but I'd have to break that promise
Ember’s POVSo many dark thoughts filled my mind as I tried everything possible to take my mind away from his betrayal.It’s been a week since my heart was shattered and my whole future was left in disarray, none of the methods I had tried was working so far.The worst part of it all was finding out on our anniversary, I wondered what he thought upon seeing the preparations I had made.This was the worst gift he had given me and it wiped all good memories we had created.The question of why he had done it still haunted me but I didn't have the courage to ask him to his face nor did I have courage to listen to his explanation, I found it better to avoid knowing the truth.Seeing it hurt me more than his confession and worse still this wasn't a one-night mistake but something the man I had called my husband has done multiple times until he finally hit the jackpot.My methods of pushing him away were quite extreme because I had started sleeping in another room and avoided eating at the s
Ember’s POV“Since this has been all you have wanted to do throughout the weak and even going weak to bring Grace here to plead your case, let me hear it” I scornfully began.“Baby…”“Your time starts now and you have just 15 minutes to give me a reason valid enough to explain why I saw you with that woman and why she is pregnant for you too!”.Still on his knees, with tears rolling down his eyes he continued pleading for forgiveness.“I never cheated intentionally, I just didn’t know how to come clean to you about it, I was ashamed of myself and our vows that I failed to keep”.“A mistake you say or it only became one when she became pregnant?”“Tell me Xander, What part of it was a mistake, the part where you poured your seeds into another woman or the part where she got pregnant and your secret had to be out!”“It’s not that, Babe…”“Lecture me!”“I just didn’t know how to tell you, Ember…I thought I was doing the right thing by keeping it away from you so I spent nights…”“I knew
Ember’s POVI didn’t know how to feel about going to meet my husband’s side woman but knowing I had Xander beside me and not her gave me a sense of comfort.Upon arriving at the chamber where Ellie was waiting, she immediately falls on her knees.“Luna, I am sorry, and accept the blame to be mine, Xand…Alpha Xander never intended to touch me but h just happened to be at the wrong place when I wasn’t in control of my body”“I know my presence here isn’t ethical but Xand…Alpha Xander requested I stay until after the baby is born then I will be out of your lives for good”I didn’t know if her apology as supposed to make me feel any better because it further more aggravated my anger, having both of them drag who takes the blame was comical.If she wasn’t already nurturing the thought, I am certain that she would want to take her place after giving the Alpha an heir or daughter.“I have nothing to say to you then you shouldn’t be kneeling in your condition” I said nonchalantly.“Ember...”
Ember POVI watched in disappointment as he left, banging the door after him.Fear was beginning to slowly fill me up as I could see our marriage crumbling underneath me and I was definitely the one that was going to lose out on everything.Although I had told him to but I didn’t expect that he would but rather try to convince me that my doubts were nothing but mere doubts.Thew betrayal, deceit and now this? How much more was I going to bear to protect the name Luna November McCray.The dark enveloped as well as dark thoughts of what my marriage was turning out to be…no matter how he apologized, I still couldn’t help but blame him for exposing this family.I was angrier at myself for letting them get to me so easily, it was obvious that this was what Ellie and her scheming dad wanted all along.Xander choose to be too blind to see it and if by any chance I was to mention this to hearing, it would flip the tables around and make my position here threatened, giving Ellie the upper hand
