Semua Bab Ember: Bab 11 - Bab 20

‘Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don’t. -Bill Nye Ember    The next morning, after breakfast, Wren showed me around the pack village. I got to meet the business owners and looked around the area. Each person I was introduced to, Wren, would tell them that I was Luna Ember. Everyone greeted me with a smile and shook my hand. They were all eager to talk to me and tell me about what they did. I didn’t meet one grumpy person and that said a lot about what was going on here.    Bastet walked with us for most of the trip before he got tired and I had to carry him. Wren scratched his chin and gave him attention while he was in my arms.    “This one I

‘There is no way to peace, peace is the way.’ -unknown ~Sixteen Years Later Ember   We have had peace throughout the land for more than two decades now. Our communities were thriving and the populations were growing once more. It was amazing to see the sorcerers come out of hiding and rebuild one of their grand cities. Their population was still small, but it was better than them being completely gone. To think that someone could wipe out a species from existence just because of their hate was sickening.      I visited Elding Gala once over the past twenty years, just to see if anyone was living there. It was completely deserted and overgrown with vegetation. The wild was tak

‘There is nothing that teaches you more than regrouping after failure and moving on.’ -Charles Bukowski King Soren   I was sitting in my study at my desk looking over a map of the packs, covens and clans that I still needed to take over for everything to be mine. If I was successful with taking out the Timber Coven today, that would leave only six more covens for me to take over.    Suddenly, there was a knock on my door and I said, “Come in.”    Ulric opened the door, walked in and closed it behind him so we could speak. I knew this had to be an update on the attack on the coven. I’m all too intrigued to see what he has to say. It’s been a couple of hours

‘Seek out alliances; they are essential to growth and provide resistance to bigger competition.’ -Richard Branson Killian    We arrived at the Dark Cove Pack right before dinner time. We rode up to the gates of the village at a slow pace, then pulled our horses to a stop. The gates were closed for the day but the guards were out on duty right outside.    “What business do you have?” one of the guards asked me.    “I’m Alpha Killian of the Nightshade Pack. I’m here to speak with Alpha Blair,” I told him.   I watched as the guard's eyes went dull to contact Alpha Blair and the gat

‘Watch your back, little wolf, they say. Enemies arise from unexpected places.’ -Marie Lu Commander Ulric I walked through the halls of the castle from my office to Soren’s study. I needed to see what our next course of action needed to be after letting our people rest for a while. I pulled two units of our army together to make a large one again. I only have four units to use now instead of five. That attack cost us a lot more than what he might be thinking and I needed to let him know that. I stepped up to the closed study door and lifted my fist to knock when I heard the sounds of a woman screaming loudly in pleasure from the closed-in space. I dropped my hand to my side and walked away. I would come back in a little while to ensure that he was finished with whomever he was with. I turned down the hall and went up a flight of stairs to go to the sitting room. I knew that’s where Lark was and I wanted to see her since I had time to waste. I stepped into the room throu
