Sixty Nine – Mutiny Go
Ash
He was still pissed when he stalked out of the castle; knowing that the king preached protecting his newly found niece and yet would not take the chance to save her. There was no way he could ever trust him saying those words again. Clearly it was nothing more than lip service, which he should have expected of the king who always tried diplomacy first.
If – no – when he got Ember back he would personally see to her protection and would never trust her safety at the hands of her uncle again. Thankfully the message he had received from the informant was actually the coordinates to where the compound was and a time they needed to attack to save her.
He sent it to Oliver, who was obviously instantly using satellite images to scope out the sight for their mutiny meeting where they would discuss their plans. At least they had his car here, so they could use it without question; they would just have to make a big show about storm

Alpha AnsonHe’d been worried about Ember since she’d been taken; the only person keeping him even vaguely sane was his newly found mate. Actually, she was his long-time lover who turned out to have hidden her true worth from him in a bid to protect his sanity while he had been married to Bernadette.Of course, it also helped to keep his mind off things when he had to take care of her after she had exhausted herself using every effort and spell she knew in an attempt to find Ember. But somehow there seemed to be some kind of spell protecting Ember from being found by magic.He was terrified for Ember, but he had his newly marked mate to focus some of his attention on, who also helped endlessly to soothe him. Something the young alpha from Bane pack did not have the luxury of.Everyone knew that Ember had newly marked him directly after the moon dance, just like he had marked Grizelda after she showed her true worth to him aft
Claims to Ember Seventy One – Own Little Mutiny
LeoHe knew he was playing both sides of the game when he agreed to help Alpha Anson by sharing info, but he wanted to protect both his alpha and his baby sister and to do that they needed more players in this game.They were a good team, but with nothing really being clear about the compound they would be charging into, he would feel better if they had more players in the battle. No matter how good they were they would be unsuccessful if they were severely outnumbered. If Charlotte’s weapons were as good as Oliver believed they were, then they had the slightest advantage despite their numbers. But it was not a big enough advantage for him to feel comfortable with charging the compound with a fifteen-strong team.Balor had not come this far with his plans and machinations without having wolves in his team and the fact that the witches were unable to scry for Ember proved that he might have some assistance from witches or warlocks, too.&nb
Claims to Ember Seventy Two – Ambush
Alpha DenzelHe was grateful that his mate was not present in this meeting, but he was sure he was going to get an earful when she finds out what was happening. Cindy was not a she-wolf that was quietly going to stand by and not raise hell when she found out what they were playing at.When they finally left the war room, they were all ambushed by their mates and he knew his time of peace was up, and judging by the looks on their mates’ faces, he was not the only one about to be raked over the coals.Queen Cordelia instantly dismissed the servants when they came into the dining room for lunch. According to King Richard, she had insisted that they be present for lunch and he knew it had been an ambush the moment the servants fled from the room like the hounds of hell were after them, especially when they realized that lunch was a buffet.“What are the plans you’ve come up with and where do we fit into it?” Queen Cor
Claims to Ember Seventy Three – Mating Ceremony
EmberNova informed her that they were the only two females at the table and their meals were also the only meals that were that small. It seemed Balor intended to keep her weak and underweight with the meals he gave her after his attempt at starving her.Was this his plan to keep her complacent and grateful for the little she would receive? Was this his plan for her whole life? Not that she intended to stay long enough to find that out with personal experience. She just hoped Nova kept her word about ending her life if he marked her.But she would do everything in her power to stop him from marking her. She just wished he would have administered the antidote before the ceremony. Perhaps it was just another power play or another method to keep her in line until he had his claws into her. The guy was a real piece of work.Once the ‘feast’ was over, he announced that they would now start the mating cerem
Claims to Ember Seventy Four – Covert
AshThey had parked their cars and hid them in the woods close enough to the compound that they could escape quickly if they had to, but not close enough to give away their approach. Dousing themselves in the scent neutralizers the genius Charlotte had invented, they quietly ran towards the coordinates they had for the compound, spreading out in a wide arc as they did.They would surround the compound and attack from all sides, so they knew no one would escape; he just wished he had more warriors to make this attack easier. Their team was split up into three parts so they could attempt to contain whoever tried to escape. Most would invade with their dart guns and pop off as many as they could into every enemy they spotted to even out the numbers until they ran out of ammo, before they would shift into wolves and take the rest down.Two from each team would stay outside the compound to assure that no one escaped if they could help it. But
Claims to Ember Seventy Five – Attack
Ash*TW: Battle with gunfire, wolves, wounds and everything that goes with it*They were all still staring in complete disbelief at the sight on the stage. Ember was slightly bent over, still attached to the nearly melted body of Balor. It was confusing that the male was burnt beyond recognition but their clothes and even the twine holding them together was still intact.“Reinforcements incoming!” Sebastian linked a moment before he felt a heavy hand on his shoulder.What the fuck?Turning around he found his father standing beside him, his eyes taking in everything within the compound. Why was his father here? He had been against retrieving Ember from the start.“Sitrep?” He linked him as if he had not shown up unexpectedly. He might have scented him if it wasn’t for the cloying scent of burnt skin and hair burning his nostrils,
Claims to Ember Seventy Six – Tied to a Body
Ember*TW: detailed description of dead body and the attack in the background*When Balor fell silent and she felt no more movement coming from him, she hesitated. Is he dead? She listened closely in the complete silence that surrounded her and there was no breathing or pulse coming from him. Alright, she expected Nova to help her die; she did not expect to kill someone.She was torn between freaking out because she killed someone and feeling an overwhelming feeling of relief that she had escaped his tyranny over her life. She had ended the darkness that had threatened to consume her whole life. But she was still tied to him and she was still blind, which meant she was still very much helpless.Ember startled when she suddenly heard a gunshot ringing out, followed by a cacophony of even more shots. She was tied to a dead man and she needed to get out of the line of fire, but for that she needed to see.&
Claims to Ember Seventy Seven – Surprising Encounter
Nova*TW: Description of a person burning alive and, you know the battle*The smell wafting out from Balor was sickening and it was disturbing to watch. It was like he was burning alive, but there were no visible flames. There was the flicker of air around him like the heat around a burning fire and the heat coming off them was uncomfortable.Bile was rising up in her throat and she was forced to step away and empty her stomach from the little food she’d just had at the end of the stage. No one even seemed to notice her stepping away from the couple and throwing up her food.What a waste of a good half-assed meal!She’d given Princess Ember her last remaining survival snacks to give her a fighting chance, since Balor never bought a lot of food if he wasn’t living in the house. And since he’d shown up unexpectedly and decided to starve Princess Ember as punishment, there wasn’t a
