Fifty Eight – Uproar
Leo
He’d been drawn into conversations with other Gammas about security and protections, feeling safe in knowing that Ash would watch her with his overprotectiveness since he’d been marked. He’d been completely ornery since she had been swooped away that morning and he knew better than to irritate his future alpha after he was kept away from her for the whole day.
He would still keep an eye on her every five minutes or so. One Gamma had gone into a heated discussion with another over the right procedure to use when attacked from multiple points and he had been forced to step in to break it up before they ruined Ember’s announcement ball.
When he’d glanced around to check on Ember again, she’d been gone. He glanced around nervously, knowing that whoever was trying to get to her was most likely going to be here. But he didn’t spot her anywhere in the ballroom. He excused himself and made his w

EmberShe woke with a pounding headache situated around her left temple where she had been hit. Man, that guy had a right hook that she could only wish for! She was trying to be still to take in her surroundings, but she soon realized that she was alone.Slowly she inched her eyes open, but realized that she was still blinded by the purple haze caused by whatever he had sprayed in her face. Damn! She couldn’t do much to help herself if she was blind.“It’s wolfsbane, since white wolves are not susceptible to silver. Obviously he knew that with being so close to the king.” Lume supplied helpfully.Ember sat up and extended her hands around her to see if she could find something of value. It seemed she was lying on a large bed, judging from the scent the place had been recently cleaned. She kept feeling around her until her hand touched a wall.She decided to follow the
Claims to Ember Sixty - Hidden
LeoHe wasn’t handling things well; he was blaming himself for not following her around everywhere like he usually does. But if he was handling things badly, then Ash was at the point of going feral. He had suddenly roared out his anger earlier that morning and it took them more than an hour to calm him down enough to explain that Ember had been slapped in the face.Of course, with him being marked he could feel some of her pain and a lot of her emotions, something which she could not sense with being unmarked by him. Personally, he thought Ash was handling things amazingly under the circumstances with all things considered. That being said, handling things amazingly with the current circumstances did not mean he was handling things well at all.His dad was barely keeping him sane with productive ways to help, also pushing Leo to do the same with keeping an eye on him. It didn’t help with the guilt and self-loathing or t
Claims to Ember Sixty One – Balor’s Obsession
NovaShe had to work hard to hide her shock and horror when she saw Balor walk into the house, which she’d been keeping up to standard for him, with the princess. Of course she knew what she looked like, since she looked so much like her mother. Nova had seen her mother when she had been held in the dungeons before she was brought to the house.When two years had passed and he hadn’t brought her daughter back, she’d hoped that she would be spared the horrible fate her mother had had. But it seemed that was not the case. She had had a plan to escape and completely implode this ring, but now her plans had to be pushed up significantly.She couldn’t allow him to torture the princess to her death like he had possibly done to her mother. And she wanted no one else to suffer at their hands ever again. She had spotted a male trying to find a way in one night while she had been staring out the window. Her
Claims to Ember Sixty Two - Intel
AshHe’d been barely holding on since Ember has been kidnapped, but he was so close to losing all control and going feral when he felt her being slapped. Somehow his father seemed to know how close he was to losing control and kept him within the palace walls with Leo babysitting him.Leo didn’t seem to be feeling much better than he was, so really it was the blind leading the blind at this point. It helped that he was doing something to feel like he was getting closer to finding Ember, but it still felt like they were impossibly far from finding her.Right now, they were going through CCTV footage in a bid to find the car that was still MIA. Somehow the bastard had disconnected the tracking device and he was in the wind. He had the horrible feeling that the bastard was just two steps ahead of them every time they found something.Cassius, or Cassie as everyone called him, was currently busy going through the burner pho
Claims to Ember Sixty Three – Planning a Mutiny
Ash“What do you mean you got a message about Ember?” His father asked with a raised eyebrow.“I got a message from an unknown number. It simply read that they knew where to find the princess and I should stand by for intel on how to take down the entire compound.” He answered, while selecting the image that was surprisingly still in his messages. Then he connected to the projector in the room and showed them the now clearly hand drawn blueprint that was pretty well done for something that was clearly done by hand.“What is this?” The king asked with interest.“I think this is the blue print for the compound that they mentioned. I think we should take this seriously, Your Highness.”“We don’t know if it’s a trap.” His father answered obstinately.“We also don’t know if it’s legit.” Ash answered.
Claims to Ember Sixty Four – Defiant
EmberShe had managed to take a shower, with Nova assisting her out of the evening gown and helping with the water settings and some clothes she could wear. Apparently the crazy wolf had already decided on her wardrobe and had filled it with “frilly nineteen fifties pinup dresses”, according to Nova’s descriptions.She was grateful that Nova was helping her, since she felt useless being blind. She had just finished brushing her teeth after getting dressed in a nightgown. Nova had given her the slip nightgown and told her it was the best she could do, since the others were meant to entice a male.That didn’t bode well for her future.She fumbled a little to find the right place to put the toothbrush down before she drank some water from the tap. “Incoming!” Lume warned a moment before the door unlocked and closed behind someone.The scent of Balor infiltrated the bathroom a m
Claims to Ember Sixty Five – Rage
AshHe woke with a roar of pain and rage when he felt Ember’s attack. He knew instantly that she was being beaten. He hated himself for giving that bastard enough time to steal his mate and he hated himself even more for failing her by not getting to her on time. What else did that bastard have in store for her?Once the pain subsided somewhat he knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep anymore and he left their room and went to the training field, there he took to beating out his frustrations on one of the heavy bags. The movement and the strain did nothing to soothe his ire and frustration, but it kept him from going completely feral at that moment, so it was something.He spun round when he heard someone approach and he found Leo walking to him, looking just as frustrated as he was. Without a word, he got into the ring and held his hand up, silently beckoning him to fight him. Ash did just that and together they fought
Claims to Ember Sixty Six – Reluctant Bride
Nova*TW: mention of physical abuse and the after effects*She could hear the beating coming through the thin walls and she flinched every time she heard his fists hit its mark. She knew from experience that he wasn’t pulling any of his punches and the princess was going to hurt so much afterwards.She didn’t wish this life on anyone and she hoped the wolf she had sent the information to would keep his word, since she didn’t want the princess to end up like her mother had been in the dungeons when she had been brought here. She knew he would have his sole focus on his reluctant bride to ‘train’ her, which just meant beating her into submission.But suddenly the beating stopped and Nova returned to scrubbing the floor on her hands and knees like she’d been doing before he had started beating the princess. She winced when he slammed the bedroom door behind him, still in a rage.No
