Ember's povUpon my arrival downstairs, I met two guards who were also running into the compound, filled with worry and fear they began to pant. ", Luna, the pack is on fire." They delivered the message and I was angry."What do you mean by that?" I asked them and proceeded to run towards the site when someone dragged me back and I was confused as to why he was doing that. He raised his hands and stared at me. "I'm sorry but the alpha says that you shouldn't be here at this time. He specifically requested that you stay here so that we don't have any issues later, ma'am." He explained.I glared at him. The hell with him and his Alpha. What the hell was wrong with these people? "Get your hands off me right now before I do what I'd greatly regret." I warned him and he moved back quickly. I was pissed by the nonsense that he was trying to do. It wasn't going to work with me. I was going to make sure that they didn't do anything that'd deter me from seeing my kids. Was it that easy to gi
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 POVWhy don't you leave, boy? I don't want to hurt you." The rogue said and I smiled, also taking a glance at the mystery man. His eyes flickered toward me for a second but there wasn't any emotion in them. He was just like looking at a blank canvas. The only good thing about him was the fact that he was visibly clenching his fists and was trying to make sure that these people didn't get on his nerves. I stared at him and back to the rogues. "You don't want me to destroy you do you?" "I don't know. What can you do? We're three, I don't even need to allow them to come toward you before they make sure that you turn to naught." The rogue continued and I sighed. I would have loved to see them get into action and be the judge to know who exactly had all the power and strength to be able to fight all these people. Then I could run away and inform my people of the latest happenings.I loved the fact that the rogues were really underestimating me because they thought that I couldn'
Ember's POVWe were left with almost three people who didn't want to wait to suffer the same fate as their leaders The mystery man stared at me and I didn't say a word but we understood each other. Without saying anything much, we jumped towards them and started chasing them.My heart was thumping hard but I didn't stop because I just needed to make sure that we won the war on this end. If we were being delayed by these people that meant that there was a lot of fighting going on in the main axis. The rogues split and we came to a halt. Two went one way and the other one the second way. This could be a trap. "Can you shoot?" I nodded. Even though I had never done it myself I knew that it couldn't be that hard. Also, I wasn't just going to allow them to escape simply because I couldn't shoot or was afraid. " Yhat place leads to the river that's why you need a gun." I didn't want to start asking questions as to why he knew every nook and cranny of the Pack. I just hoped that he wasn
Ember's POVThere was a need for me to be told twice before jumping in front of them. How did they manage to capture them and lead them here without anyone's knowledge or even trying to alert me? He chuckled. "you can see that you have no choice but to do my bidding then and only then can we finally get to do what we should have done in the first place. Well, I don't blame you at all. If you know that you are just going to waste your time, it won't take me to destroy the people you love the most in your life. I hear that the Alpha loves children so you'll produce new ones for him." His words didn't even make any sense because why was he acting as if it didn't take a lot to make a child? "You don't have to speak condescendingly about my husband. You can either allow us to have a conversation or you forget it. Why the unnecessary talk?" The man gritted his teeth for a minute. "I've stated my case since the moment I came here but what were you all doing? Acting like you could outsmar
Ember's POVI could hear a pin drop. There was a need for me to find my way out of this place but from the way he was talking, I knew that it was true. My brain was just suddenly processing his words. Why did he truly want me to get married to another person? That was the last thing that I would have imagined that my father would do but I guess it was what it was. "What do you mean by that?" He shrugged softly. "That's exactly what I thought too. The problem now is since you have this many people in your life, I want to also benefit from it. It's either you make sure that at least a certain group of people enjoy from you or you make a way so that we can all remember to say a prayer for you." Now, he wasn't making sense at all. "What do you mean by saying a prayer?""We kill you so that no one has to enjoy your goodness. It's really that simple." He answered, leaving me stunned. He was just speaking about death so casually and making me wonder what life even meant to him."I can see
