The Ember In The Dark Ch. 46
Ember's P.O.V.It's never good when mom just randomly asks to speak to one of us. I wonder what she wants. I knocked on the door of her study, knowing she'd still be there. She's usually in there until 8 or so. It's only 7 now. Dex managed to get me back in time. He did manage to spring a quick hug on me unexpectedly. It's okay, because he didn't try anything. It was more like a grateful hug. I still have a lot of the crimson kelp left. Like a lot. I bet I have enough to go down and meet this infamous mother of Toni. "Come in." I heard mom's voice from behind the door. She sounded focused, and had a bit of monotone going. "Hey, Ash told me you wanted to talk?" I entered, closing the door behind me. She was reading, but when she noticed it was me she immediately stopped. She got up from her study and gave me a tight hug. "We need to talk about Ash." She told me looking me deep in the eyes. There was something there…worry? "Um okay. What's up?" This is either really important or

"Let's go sleepyhead." Ash violently shook me awake. My eyes refused to open. I pushed him away wanting a little more sleep. He just shook me harder instead. "Alright, alright. I'm up." I looked at him through slanted eyes. "Good. Let's go have breakfast and help set up. They'll be here in like 3 hours." He sounded so excited and yet nervous. I know that mix of emotions too well. "Okay hold on, let me wash my face and brush my teeth." I dragged my body off the warmth of my bed... I am so sleepy. I washed my face with cold water in an attempt to wake me up more. After I brushed my hair, and my teeth, I left the bathroom. I'll get dressed in my gown and get myself looking better in a couple hours. "Okay let's eat." I smiled at him. Food always helps my mood. We ate a huge breakfast and for once I ate more than Ash. I needed the extra nutrients to make up for my lack of energy. We helped out at the garden and throughout the palace. The event will take place in the large glass bui

It seemed everyone had split. The current kings and queens were talking amongst themselves and mingling with one another. The heirs were talking to the other heirs on this side. We decided to make our way towards a small group of the heirs in the corner. They eyed us carefully, they were warned about us it seems. "Hello and welcome. I hope you're enjoying the festivities. I am Ash the next in line to the throne for this Kingdom." Ash introduced himself very politely. Everyone bowed their heads politely, but it was stiff. Done only for politics sake and not because of mutual respect. I really am starting to hate some of these elves. "I'm his twin sister, Ember." I gave them all a warning glare. I'm the one that will punch you in the face if you say or do something wrong. Too bad I can't say that out loud. "You guys are the part dragon kids right?" One of the more arrogant males asked. He had his light blonde hair tied back in a long tight ponytail. He was one of the more handsome

Arrogant elf, who's name I really need to learn, stepped away from the door. He slowly made his way towards me and I took a step back. My back hit against the sink counter, making me feel cornered. "Aelfric told me how sweet you tasted and I wanted to see for myself. I am sure you don't mind, since you're a dragon and all. Hey you never know, maybe I'm one of your destined ones." His hand touched my face. I think I might commit murder today. Aelfric seems to have made it out of here just fine. So he's at this guy's kingdom now, spreading lies and rumors. Like what he did here wasn't bad enough now he's telling everyone stories about me. Fuck, if I could I would kill Aelfric myself. "Aelfric told you wrong. Touch me again and I'll break you." I warned him.I pushed past him, bumping his shoulder along the way. He grabbed my wrist and turned me into him. My chest landed against his torso. He was quite a bit taller than me. "Don't be like that. You don't have to be shy." He wrapped h

Ash's P.O.V. (After Larminiel left them at the summit) Ember has been surprising me every day since she's gotten her wolf. I had no idea she could use her ice magic like that. It's amazing she was able to do it for the first time like that. I don't think she realizes how naturally talented she is at times. Ember and I headed towards the group of heirs that had split away from their parents. These will be the people I'll be dealing with when I become king. It's better to get to know them over the current kings and queens. They eyed us carefully, they seemed to not trust us. "Hello and welcome. I hope you're enjoying the festivities. I am Ash the next in line to the throne for this Kingdom." It's the best way I know to break the ice. A simple yet polite introduction Everyone seemed accepting of it as they bowed their heads politely. Perhaps there is a chance this group won't mind me being part dragon. They aren't as set in the old ways as these elder elves. "I'm his twin sister, Em

Ash's P.O.V. (After Ember spoke with her mom in the hall)"Knock knock." Ember's voice entered the room. I'd been left alone hearing everything that happened to Ember while I was being rejected. I'll kill Hunter before he becomes king. No one messes with Ember and lives. "You know that's not how knocking works." I joked. She'll try to fix me if she knows that my dark magic was released. I can't let her know. I like the way I feel right now. I feel powerful and carefree for once. The weight of the world doesn't feel heavy on my shoulders. Levi has gone dormant for now, the rejection from our mate was too much for him. Brontus consumed some of the dark magic with me and he's ready to go out and find a girl to fuck. Just two months and Ember and I will be 18 and our dragons will begin their mating seasons. I am sure I won't have a hard time getting a girl without the pheromones, but I know the pheromones will make it so much easier. I'm excited for that part. Maybe I'll find Serena w

Ember's P.O.V. (When she entered school that morning)"I've missed you so much!" I held Toni tightly against me. Between what happened with Hunter, and what happened to Ash, I thought I was going to break this weekend. I started feeling better the moment Toni's arms wrapped around me. I missed him so much. I started to cry in his chest. "Ember, what's wrong?" Toni was so concerned. He cupped my face with both his hands and lifted my head up to look at him. His thumb wiped away my tears. I couldn't say it. My tongue felt heavy with the words. Instead I sent him mental images of what happened with Hunter and then with Ash. Toni stiffened, he was angry. He was pissed the fuck off. He grabbed my hand and pulled me outside. He opened his passenger side door for me to climb in. I went in silently. I watched him go around the car and get in the driver seat. He was silent… very silent. "Ember, why didn't you tell me Saturday?" His hands clutched the steering wheel, showing the whites of h

"Hello beautiful." Dex's voice whispered into my ear from behind. I hate when he does that, mainly because it sends shivers down my back. Goosebumps that only Toni should be giving me. I turned around and slapped his chest. "Stop doing that." I scolded him. Dex had come in late and sneakily came to the back of the class. He scared me as I was getting my art supplies ready. I smelled that salty air about him, but there was another scent to him I can't quite place. "I'm sorry. Did I scare you?" He grinned, leaning his hand against the counter."No. You just can't whisper in my ear like that." I narrowed my eyes at him, before looking back at the paint brushes. I needed a fan brush, but couldn't seem to find it. "You mean like this?" He whispered in my ear again. "Is it because you kind of like it?" My body shook with goosebumps. "Stop it." I slapped him in the arm, harder, this time. "It just gives me goosebumps, is all." I didn't want him thinking it was anything else. "Oh? Does
