The ride back to the pack house was silent. She had pushed Caleb back gently after seeing the look on Torin’s face when he hugged her. She was trying to comfort her friend but it felt wrong now. She still couldn’t feel the bond properly with Torin but the hurt in his eyes was as strong as feeling it. The more she sat thinking about it the more guilty she felt. Torin had sat behind her, she wished she could feel his emotions since hers were a complete mess. Caleb was brooding and looked angry. Which only started to make her angry. Why was he upset? Suddenly she felt tingles on her shoulder and she glanced back. Torin had casually rested his hand on the back of her seat gently touching her shoulder. He wasn’t looking at her, he was looking out the window. Did he feel her emotions? Or was he trying to calm himself down? Either way, it was a comfort. She let out a sigh and rested her head against the window closing her eyes and trying to clear her head.They arrived at the pack house and
Ember showered quickly, unable to stop from thinking about the incredible kiss she had shared with Torin in the hall. Caleb’s kisses have been wonderful but they didn’t compare to Torin’s. The sparks and tingles when they touched were amazing and the kiss she felt through her entire being. Now she just needed her wolf to catch up with the program. We can feel everything we need to, just claim him already! She thought to her wolf, she almost thought she felt a grumble in response as if her wolf was disturbed from a slumber. She could picture in her mind a wolf making the noise and rolling over and going back to sleep. Perhaps she needed to shift. It had been almost a month since she had last shifted, with the move and packing and graduation, then the ball and now everything else. Maybe her wolf was feeling distant because of that? She got out and squeezed her hair in the towel before quickly braiding it not wanting to spend forever with wet hair. She got dressed quickly and put on a bi
They all took a seat around the table, and Ember put her head in her hands as she collected her thoughts. Torin sat on one side of her and started writing something down in a notebook he had pulled towards himself. Caleb sat on the other side scowling with his arms crossed, and Albwin just sat staring at everyone with an unreadable expression. “Ok enough is enough, Torin may be my mate. I feel it, almost all of it, but my wolf hasn’t claimed him yet. I don’t know why but I have decided that for now, Torin and I are accepting the bond and seeing where it takes us. Caleb, I need you to trust me and accept my decisions. I am sorry if it hurts but I have told you from the beginning I wanted to find my True Mate. If you can’t work with me and live with this then I’ll need to dismiss you, and I will bring someone else in to work this mission.” Ember had turned to Caleb as she talked and watched his expressions as they switched from hurt to angry to blank. She never wanted him to be hurt, h
Her head was swirling with so many thoughts and emotions that she hadn’t even closed the door all the way when she changed her mind and marched right back out her door again. She needed to shift. She hadn’t shifted in so long and she felt like her wolf has been half asleep since she got here. It was a strange feeling and Ember didn’t like it. She now knew the dangers and her grandparents had forbidden her to leave the property, but if she just ran the perimeter she would be in view of the patrol the entire time. With her mind made up, she walked out the kitchen entrance quietly and made her way to the small side gate. She quickly took her clothes off in the shadows and left them in a neatly folded pile by the gate for when she got back. She stretched out her muscles and rolled her neck as she felt her bones snap and crack as they shifted into her wolf. She shook out her fur and finally felt whole once more. Her wolf let out an annoyed grumble when a scent caught her nose, she trotted
Ember felt like she was floating in some deep dark space. She couldn’t feel her body, she couldn’t feel anything. I wonder if I am in some sort of Coma. She thought to herself sighing in her mind. She heard a soft noise, but it felt like it was coming from far away and it sounded like a giggle. Well, that’s great, now I think I am going crazy. This time the giggle sounded closer, it was soft and sweet. Hello? Am I not alone in here? Where ever here is… This time she tried saying it but it still felt like a thought. You are never truly alone. You are a special werewolf. This time the voice she heard sounded different from the giggle as if it was from a different person. This voice was powerful, yet quiet and soothing. A soft glow appeared in front of her and seemed to get closer and closer growing in size, Ember started to see an image forming as it grew until all of a sudden, Ember was surrounded by it, she was in it. She was back in her body and turned to look at her surroundings, s
She had no idea how long she had been out, but she could feel herself starting to wake up in her physical form. As Ember gained consciousness she listened for a moment to make sure she couldn’t hear anyone close by before slowly opening her eyes. It took a moment to adjust her sight to the dim surroundings, her eyes felt fuzzy and she had to blink a few times to help clear them faster. Carefully she felt around her trying not to make any obvious movements, she wasn't ready to alert her captors that she was awake just yet. She could feel a threadbare blanket underneath her, it was the only thing between her and the wood floor. The wall behind her seemed to be wood as well. Her hands and feet were bound but there was enough slack that she could move around a little. Her captors were either lazy or expected her to be there for a while. Someone had thrown a thin worn blanket over her to cover her nakedness. There must have been enough wolfsbane in the darts they used that it forced her t
Torin woke up with a start feeling restless. He had this sinking feeling in his stomach that something bad had happened and the overwhelming need to check on Ember hit him hard. He got out of bed and dressed as fast as he could back into the casual clothes he had gotten from the pack’s stores. He stuffed his feet in his boots and almost ran out the door. Every second the need to see her felt more urgent, his heart was pounding, threatening to burst. He tried to keep calm as he made his way through the castle, his pace quickened as he noticed a commotion coming from the Alpha’s wing. Almost running now Torin flew past people gathered and whispering, he heard bits and pieces of their conversations. “She’s missing.” He heard from one group of she-wolves. “She was last seen sneaking off into the woods.” Another whispered. Dread filled his mind. No, they can’t be talking about Ember, I just saw her. Kissed her goodnight. Torin barely finished the thought as he arrived in her hallway an
Torin had to fight the urge to flee the entire walk down through the castle, the groups had grown in both size and number and each went silent as he walked past just for the whispers to explode behind him. What was he going to do? He had been in some awkward situations before but he had never gotten himself into this kind of trouble, and this time he actually was innocent. By the time they made it to the cells, he knew the entire castle would believe he was behind Ember's disappearance. They marched him right to the first cell and one threw open the door while the other shoved him inside with a low growl. “You will pay for whatever happens to the future Luna. You have no idea what you have wrought upon yourself.” The one who growled spat out in disgust. The other guard simply nodded in agreement and slammed the door shut. Blinking a little to adjust his eyes to the dim lighting, Torin looked around at his surroundings. There were no lights or windows in his cell except for the smal
