SethSomething was wrong. Ember's fear hit our mate link like a tidal wave. "Where the fuck is she?", I heard Carter growl, shoving Jordan against the wall. Jordan growled at him. "She was in the room. I went to sleep and woke up. She was gone. Now fucking release, me", he demanded Carter. The aura in the whole mansion was thick. Ever since we had gotten home and realized she had disappeared; Carter had almost become feral. Even I could feel the beast inside ready to come out and cause chaos, but I had to keep it controlled. I gripped Carter's shoulder and pulled him away from Jordan. We are fully bonded with Ember now. We could link her. She, however, had chosen to close us out. If she was in danger, she would have told us, or even screamed for Jordan. "You need to relax and think, Carter. She has been blocking our link on purpose. It is possible she is somewhere and intentionally does not want to be found.", I told him. He looked at me with his black eyes with the blue swirls. "

Ember I woke up on a bed, in a dungeon-like chamber. The inside was filled with candles for light. There were skulls all around the chamber walls. Where was I? Someone came into the chamber. A small boy who also had his eyes taken away from him. I could tell he was relying on his other senses to guide him as he approached. "Master says to join him for dinner. You must wear these", the little boy said. He handed me a red shortcut dress and a pair of black pumps to go with it. I took the clothing. "What happened to everyone here? " I asked. "Master took our eyes to consume our knowledge", the little boy said. "Where are the women and children?" , I asked him. "Master has no need for women and children. Only a few he keeps as servants. He has eaten the rest of us. Now please miss, get dressed. You do not want to be punished by master", the little boy said before running out of the cell. I looked at my skin. My cuts were still all around my body, but they were closed. Being human,

DamienHunger. That is what I felt as her blood seeped into me. Pure hunger. Not only for her blood, but also for her body. As she moaned from my blood flowing into her, I couldn't help the pulse I started feeling from my dick. This.... This was right. Everything in this moment, was just right. Why had I been such a dick all this time? I had always felt like there was something I was missing from my life, and now, I knew I had found it, though I didn't even understand it myself. She was everything I had always wanted and more, yet I was too blinded by hate to see it. Now, I see her. I fully see her. Every drop of her blood seeped memories. Her memories. She would see mine as well. I saw her life play before my eyes, from the time she was born, to now. My Ember. My love. Been through so much heartache and heartbreak that no one should ever have had to go through. Here was my ass of a mother, putting her through even more. Whispering in my ear like a snake or demon. When all this time

Carter"What did you find out regarding his ring?", I asked Seth. We have been in the library pouring over every book we can find about the horsemen War. I was surprised at how much information there was. So many legends of the mighty war. Many people thought that it was Ares who instigated fights or put horrible thoughts into the minds of others, but it was actually his first in command. War whispered into the ears of men, and Ares loved to fight, winning each battle he came across. Together, with the other horsemen, they helped kings and emperors conquer lands. "Just the same stuff you have already read. Most of these things seem like legends, but no one has ever come close to figuring out how to kill him. We know he loves creating battles," Seth said, and I nodded. "His ring", I told him. "What about it?", he asked me. I showed him a book I found which showed his ring clearly. "Ember says Iris told her we have to smash his ring. It's the source of his power. None of the books s

Ember I phased close to my childhood home in Tallahassee. It has been so long since I have been here. Memories of escaping fell over me like a plague as I approached. I knew War would soon be alerted to my presence, sensing I was back here. I phased out with only one thing in mind. Saving Ivy. Damien phased my mates and Jax here, behind me, pulling me back. They could cross into the territory now, it seemed. "What the hell, Ember? Are you trying to get yourself killed?", Damien said, annoyed. Before I could reply, the strange pit in my stomach that something was wrong tingled inside of me, and I pushed Jordan down to the ground just in time as a bullet echoed in the air, striking me in the shoulder. It would have gone through Jordan's heart had I not pushed him down first. "Trap", I grunted as I fell, with Seth catching me. They worked fast. Gunshots started going off as different men started approaching us from all directions. The pain was terrible, but I was certain the bullet to
