Ember's POVI was not even worried about all the things that had happened in the last few days because I was just busy lounging around. I didn't know how the brothers managed to settle their disputes, I only knew that Greg had been living in the house with us but he was moody, refusing to talk to anyone and I couldn't care more. "I am going out today. I need to check out some boat or ship that was rumored to capsize in our waters close to the border." Trent said, while adjusting his collar. He looked good though.I didn't know that there was a sea around the pack area. "A sea right?" " Yeah, it's usually our port route. It's a major source of income too." " And a source of danger. Enemies could easily sail in from the port." Trent chuckled and kissed my forehead. " I don't understand you. How do you even come up with these things? We don't allow unusual movement. There are also guards stationed there who are more deadlier than these ones in my pack and they are focused unlike the

Ember's POVSurfing through the net seemed to be my best companion lately because it kept my sanity in check. Boredom was a disease that could even lead to depravity. How was I supposed to stay in this big house alone without talking to anyone for a whole week without losing my mind? Whenever Trent returned, he was already beat and didn't have the time to strike up a conversation with me. The two brothers were just polite to me and minded their business. Elise was a different ball game entirely. She was still keeping malice with me as if I was the one who made her brother take that irrational step. I wasn't in the mood to start begging someone to see things my way when there were other things I could do with my time. One of which was my newly found passion for knitting. I watched several videos about it and was confident in my abilities. I could do anything that I set my heart to do.I quickly switched off the light and adjusted on my side because it was getting very close to the du

Ember's POVThe sound of monitor beeping filtered into my ears and I sighed. Who was in the hospital? I wondered. "You." Lacy replief and I was shocked. Why was I in the hospital? I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't and I became scared. I heard the door open and waited to be able to identify the person to no avail. "She's awake, but she's unstable, that's why the monitor is beeping this way." The person said. I figured that it was a doctor. "So, when will she open her eyes? It's been almost two weeks now." What?! I didn't know when I was admitted but I didn't expect to have spent so long there. " I am thinking about it right now and all I can say is that I don't want to give you a date. We don't know these things. We can only make predictions." I heard Trent sigh. I knew that he was the one because my brain slowly processed the information. " Okay, so what can we do to make sure that she doesn't die?" "We will continue with our treatment, I think her body went into shock henc

Ember's POV"I think she's entering into labor!" Was the last thing that I heard before blacking out. I fell into a zen state. It was almost as though I was floating in the air and waiting for the pin to drop.Sadly it didn't, so I enjoyed the cool breeze that blew through my skin. All of a sudden, I felt a sharp pain that went straight to my head. Color me surprised but my eyes flew open immediately. I was shocked to see a few people walking around. My vision, hazy and fluttery. I almost felt as though I couldn't see properly.Someone stared at me and blinked again. " She's awake. Didn't you give her the right dosage of anesthesia?" The female voice inquired and I was a bit tired of the way they were screaming. In my head I was like, can someone just let me breathe without making me feel like I have done something wrong?I couldn't move any part of my body, nor scream to let out the pain that I felt. It was excruciating and I felt my bones aching. "Get me a shot! She needs to sleep.

Ember's POV"Who's Xavier?" I repeated and he stared at me. I didn't know what happened along the line but I was also pretty sure that he was serious, he looked offended."Who's Xavier?" "I guess I won't know seeing that you were muttering his name in the dream and almost moaning before I stopped you."I rolled my eyes. " Now, that's a complete lie because I would never moan to another man's name. I don't even know who Xavier is." I responded in an affronted tone. He would lose his shit if he knew that it was none other than my beloved ex-husband. That was his middle name that no one knew about."Okay, maybe the moaning part was a bit of exaggeration but you know what I mean." I shook my head vehemently. " No, I don't know what you mean and I pick an offense to that statement. I understand that things are a bit awkward between us but I'm not some sex starved doll that seeks pleasure anywhere." I replied, making sure to glare at him while at it. He placed his hands in front of me in
