The Ember In The Dark Ch. 49
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

I felt a bit relieved after my conversation with Dex. Josh stared at us both for a moment. He looked upset, really upset, but I'm not sure why. The bell rang as he eyed me funny. I furrowed my eyebrows at him, but I got up and left. I headed straight for the cafeteria knowing Toni would be there. I need him to hold me again. I need to feel his warm strong arms around me. This morning was so amazing with him in his car. I could repeat that over and over again. I feel completely infatuated with him. I saw him in the distance talking to Rachel. I need to catch up with her. I have been so caught up with Toni and Ash that I have kind of pushed our relationship back. I am not that great at maintaining friendships.I smiled as his eyes caught mine. His face lit up when he noticed me too. I started making my way to him, from the corner of my eye I saw Josh making a Beeline for them. I thought that was weird. He stopped in front of Toni and said something quickly, before he grabbed Rachel b

Ash's P.O.V. Damnit! Fuck Toni! He shouldn't raise his voice to Ember. Fuck his version of treating a mate. I don't care what Ember might have done, he should be understanding of whatever it is. I shouldn't have fought him in front of Ember though. I can't believe I hit her. I can't believe she put herself between us though. She should have let me beat him up. He deserved it. I punched the wall, feeling my knuckles bleed from the brick. Ember healed me, but I didn't want to be healed. I wanted to feel the pain till I healed on my own. She's smart, healing us both at the same time. She knew I would take offense if she chose Toni over me. Although, she took a side even if she didn't notice she did. She took his side, the moment she blocked his face. The way she looked at me, let me know. She was afraid. She was frightened by me. I can feel the darkness seeping deeper into my heart now. Taking the little bit of light that Ember has in there. Soon she herself will be just an ember i

Ember's P.O.V. (After the fight)I watched Ash's back as he left. I felt like this is the moment that is going to start tearing us further apart. How did things go so wrong? I looked down at Toni. I was still having to heal him as Ash really did a number on him. He seemed to be in less pain now. I was crying over him. I hated seeing him so hurt. I hated knowing that Ash caused him this pain. That it was caused in my honor, in a way. Ash thought he was defending me, but it should have never ended in a physical fight. I don't know what to do now. Toni started to get up, his face mostly healed. He looked at me like I had thrown the punch at him. He seemed hurt, but also mad. I felt a pain deep in my stomach. He didn't say anything as he stood up. He started to walk away like Ash. "Toni." I called his name pleadingly. "I need a minute, Ember." He didn't turn to look at me as he said that. He was pulling away, I could see it. "Please don't go." I felt like if he did things would only
