Ember's P.O.V.
"Why did you come, mi amor? You could have been hurt, or the baby could have." His voice was soft, but his tone was firm. My mind was still reeling with emotions. This is Toni. Suddenly everything about my feelings towards Sam just seemed to make sense and I wanted to slap myself for not noticing it sooner. How could I have not thought about it?"Ash had a vision and he told me you were in trouble. So we all came to help. Lucy cast a protection spell over Nova to keep her safe within me. She did consume some of my magic though, so I'll need to see the doctor. It wasn't enough to make me too weak though." I bit my lip, feeling guilty about putting her in danger. "Ash told me he saw Toni here too. He saw you and we rushed over. Why didn't you tell me?" I punched his arm, furious at how he made me think I had lost him again."I couldn't." He lightly rubbed my cheeks with Sam's calloused hands. "I am sorry, mi amor. If I had told you they woulRelated chapters

Toni had me laying sweetly beneath him. His eyes held such a deep love for me. His gaze was undoing me long before his touches were. He kissed me tenderly, wrapping his fingers in my hair. His thumb caressed my jaw lightly, sending a warmth flowing through me."Toni." I whispered his name, a silent plea to feel him even closer. There's not enough time, not enough of him to make up for the last decade, but I am damn well going to try. I felt like this missing piece of me was finally put back in place by Toni. "Make me yours again." He kissed me with such intensity. He stole the breath from my lungs and the soul from my body. I was all his and I refuse to leave this bedroom until he's claimed me as his again. I pulled his shirt off, breaking our kiss for just a moment. His muscles were just as toned as they had been when we were younger. There was some of Sam in his body, so it wasn't exactly the same, and yet it was perfect all the same. "I love you, mi amor. I'll never leave you aga

"That's it, Ember. Just one more push!" The doctor called out to me. Dex held my right hand and my angel held my left. They both lifted me up more as I pushed with all the strength I had left in me. I heard cry as they suctioned the fluid free of her mouth. That sound is indescribable, tears welled in my eyes with the pure joy of having her here with us now. "You did great. Thank you for bringing our daughter into this world, sunshine." Dex whispered in my ear before kissing my sweaty forehead without a care. His eyes were pink and glistening with tears. I could see the love and pure admiration mirrored in them as he looked down at our sweet Nova, that was now placed in my arms. "She's beautiful, mi amor. You're amazing." Toni kissed the top of my head next. The three of us stared down at Nova's beautiful small features. She made the smallest little noises in complaint of being pushed out of me and into this cruel world. I'll make it safe for you Nova, I promise. She had the rounde

"Ember, are you sure about this?" Mom asked me for like the 100th time today. "Yes. I'm certain." I sighed staring out at the new high school I'll be attending today. "She's got me. Don't worry mom. I won't let anything happen to her." Ash spoke from the back seat, squeezing mom's shoulder. He always had a way of calming mom, where I just strung her up full of anxiety. "Thank you, sweetheart." She doted. I know she says she has no favorites, but it sure seems like she does. "Whatever." I sighed, making my way towards the school. Ash got it all and I didn't get a thing. He has a wolf, a dragon, and the elf magic. Yet here I am pretty much a human with some heightened senses. If I had a wolf it should have appeared by now. Dad said I should have had my dragon from birth, but I've never heard or seen it if I do. On top of that when I touched the tree of life, my magic didn't awake like everyone else's. Mom kept me in school with the elves in the kingdom anyway. She was hoping that m

I knocked on the door and a student opened it. "You must be my new student." An older lady with long faded blonde hair and glasses greeted me from the front of the room. I nodded my head at her. "Take a seat at one of the empty chairs." She instructed. Everyone kept their attention on me as I took a seat in the back row. Boys eyeing my body again and girls giving me curious or jealous glances. It's always the same no matter where you go I guess. At least here I won't be as much of a failure. I fit better with the humans than anywhere else. Mrs. Williams continued her trig lesson. The bell rang shortly after, and I collected my things. Next was P.E. with Rachel. I'm glad we have a couple classes together, it gives me a friendly face in the crowd. I walked down the hall Rachel showed me earlier. "Ember!" Ash's voice called from behind me and I turned to find him with Toni still. His 6'2 self was easy to spot amongst the crowd. I waited for him to catch up."Hey, what's up?" I asked

"What do you have next period?" Ash came up behind me making me jump. I slapped his arm. "Stop that." I hate when he masks his presence to me. "I have science." I told him. "I have math on the other side of the building. Toni has science during this period though." He smiled. "Hey Toni!" He called him over. "Will you walk Ember to class for me? Please. I don't like the idea of her alone in these halls with all these assholes." He sounded like Dad for a moment. "Ash! You can't just ask someone you just met to walk me around school. Quit it!" I scolded him. "I don't mind." Toni smiled at me and my heart skipped for a moment. He has a really sweet smile like Rachel's. Only his smile does something different to me. I fought the crimson off my cheeks, as I blushed too quickly for me to stop it entirely. Ash noticed it and arched an eyebrow at me curiously. 'Shut up.' I linked him and he smiled. "Meet you at lunch." He yelled back, walking down the hall. He and Rachel were headed the

I woke up in the nurse's office. My head felt like it was splitting open. I had the worst migraine of my life. 'Dear Goddess. I thought I would never get to come out.' A voice in my head echoed. 'What the fuck?' Suddenly an image of a light gray wolf, with a large patch of white over it's right eye came to the front of my mind. The wolf had one blue eye and one gold. 'That's one way of greeting your wolf.' She laughed. 'It's been so hard not being able to talk to you. I've been with you all this time, Ember. I'm sorry I couldn't come out till you found our mate.' She explained. I couldn't believe my mind right now. Was this real? Had my wolf really been lying dormant all this time? I'm not just human? Tears started to pool in my eyes. I was so happy. "Ember are you okay?" Toni's voice brought me back to reality. I quickly wiped my tears away. I didn't want him to see that. "Yeah I'm fine. What happened?" I asked him. "Well Reep came forward and called you our mate and then you

We headed out of the nurse's office and toward the cafeteria. We grabbed some tray lunches, eyes still very much on us. We're still the talk of the school. We headed outside with our food where I spotted Toni sitting at a blue picnic table around a large fountain. He was smiling, and talking with some friends. A lot of them wore letterman jackets. Micheal was amongst the group, making me question Toni's judgment. Rachel was sitting at the fountain surrounded by her own friends, but still close to Toni's area. "I'll go sit with Rachel. You sit with Toni. We'll still be close, but actually sitting with the people we want." I told Ash. "You sure you don't want to sit by Toni?" He sang his name, teasing me. I poked his side hard. "Ouch, okay. Sorry." We went our separate ways to our group. "Ember!" Rachel called me over. I smiled at her, making my way toward her. "Everyone, this is Ember. That's her twin Ash." She pointed at Ash who was now sitting beside Toni being introduced like me

Lunch ended without a hitch and I had a free period after. I headed to the library, curious about the selection here. I walked through the aisle trying to find something of interest, but I didn't see anything. "I'm not sure you'll find anything here for you." His husky voice rang in my ear. "I guess you have a free period this hour too." I turned to find those sweet chocolate eyes staring at me. I took a step back, trying to keep my distance. Mate bond or not, I'm not gonna let it overcome me. I just met him today, even if every cell in my body is screaming I need him. "Well since you seem to think you know my style. What do you suggest?" I crossed my arms and arched my eyebrow at him. He just gave me this sexy crooked smile, his hands shoved deep in his pockets. "Follow me." He whispered and my curiosity peaked too much not to follow. He led me to the back of the library. A secluded spot from everyone else. Suddenly I questioned why I followed him. He walked to the corner and lo
