Chapter 31 : : : : : : : A Letter From Lukas

*Alec*Ember’s eyes lit up at my words. Her whole body quaked, and her eyes fluttered closed as she let out a soft keening sound. I smiled, trailing my fingertips down her neck and between her breasts. Her muscles quivered under my touch. She squirmed and opened her eyes. “What do you say?” I asked. “A good plan?”She bit her lip and nodded. Her eyes glowed in the firelight, filled with heat and desire. She looked at me as if she wanted me to eat her alive, and by the Goddess, I was starving. Without another word, without another thought, I kicked off my boots and shoved my trousers down and off. She reached up to me, and I caught her hands in mine, kissing them gently before drawing them up to my shoulders. I eased her knees apart again so I could fit my hips between them. In the low light, I could see her core glistening with desire and the way her sweat drew in the warm firelight. “Ember,” I said almost breathlessly. An ember ready to set me ablaze. Maybe I was alrea

Chapter 32 : : : : : : : Cracked Heart

*Ember*I hadn’t seen Alec since the day after I woke up alone in his bedroom, but this morning I was planning to invite him to have breakfast with me. As I approached Alec's office, I grew a little nervous. I knocked lightly, but the door swung open. “Good morning,” I said as I pushed the door open. As expected, he was sitting at his desk, his focus fixed on the papers on his table as he scribbled on paper and muttered to himself. The air in the room felt heavy, charged with tension despite the early morning light and the breeze coming through his open window. The air was so crisp. "I thought we could have breakfast together and maybe go for a walk after?"His response was barely a murmur. He didn’t even look up at me. "I'm busy, Ember. Perhaps some other time."“Oh…” I swallowed. “Okay… Maybe lunch?”“No,” he said, flipping a page. “I have a meeting then.”The chill in his tone pierced through me, and I could feel my heart sink. My shoulders slumped. “Dinner?”He

Chapter 33 : : : : : : : Just Some Woman He Saved

*Ember*As the cart rolled along the dusty road, the familiar sights and sounds of a large group of people drew nearer. I looked up the road and realized that we had caught up with the rogue carnival’s caravan. As we approached, I saw Sawyer hop off a tall cart and stand off to the side as our cart rolled closer. When we were close enough, he started walking alongside us with a broad smile on his face."Lovely Lady Lauryn, what an unexpected pleasure to see you again so soon!" He smiled. “I suppose you did miss me more than I hoped.”Lauryn scoffed and rolled her eyes. “You can stop while you’re already so far behind.” Sawyer grinned. “I think I’m further ahead than you want to admit. You’re here, aren’t you?”“Not because of you.”“That’s what you think,” he said with a grin. “But I think I have enough time to convince you otherwise.”Lauryn’s expression cracked into something like a smile. I listened to them talk, but my mind wandered to look at the surroundings we pas

Chapter 34 : : : : : : : You Knew Better

*Ember*I couldn’t sleep much after talking to Cassandra. The more I tried to push her words and my suspicions from my mind, the more they seemed to consume me. Before I knew it, the moon had risen, fallen, and the sun was rising. The caravan’s watchers blew the horn to get everyone up and start packing. Exhaustion made every movement hard, but eventually, I got back into the cart with Lauryn. Lauryn looked like she always did, but when I saw Sawyer, he seemed stiff, like he was avoiding coming over and pretty much ignoring us. I looked over at Lauryn suspiciously. Even though I was exhausted, the situation was weird. As the caravan started to move again, the rhythmic clip-clop of hooves and the soft murmur of conversations faded away as I looked at Lauryn. She cocked an eyebrow at me. “What is it?”I shook my head, blinking slowly as Sawyer started to come towards us. “You look like you didn’t sleep at all,” Sawyer grinned, but it didn’t reach his eyes. I shook my

Chapter 35 : : : : : : : Scratching the Itch

*Alec*As I arrived in the rogue village, the air was alive with a vibrant energy that pulsed through the bustling streets. The stars had begun to shine in the sky, and the moon had started to rise. Laughter and singing filled the air as I walked through the village’s center past the party going on. Half-dressed women hung on the arms of various men. Others danced with each other lifting full cups as they twirled around. Giggling couples whirled around the bonfire in the center of town.I recognized a few faces from the carnival among the group, but most of the villagers were unknown to me. Most of them didn’t even acknowledge my presence, either too drunk or otherwise occupied, as I walked past, heading toward the largest house in the area. It wasn’t at all like the castle. I assumed it probably had eight rooms in it, but it had a sort of comforting feel. I could feel the mist of a large body of water on the breeze and the scent of a garden. Soon, I saw Sawyer standing on th

Chapter 36 : : : : : : : Ember’s Wolf

*Ember*I got out of bed and headed out. My mind was still churning about Alec and that woman. The sultry way she purred to him. The fact that his door was open only made it hurt more. Then, her words rang through my mind.Exclusive…My lips trembled, and all my doubts started to creep up again. Alec wasn’t mine. He still wasn’t my Alpha. I was little more than a guest and occasional lover. Maybe he was tired of me. I crossed my arms and wiped away the tears before they could fall.I hated that she’d said that to me. I hated the situation, but as much as I didn’t like her, and didn’t like the idea of her around Alec, I couldn’t find it in me to hate her. No matter how I looked at it, she was right. Alphas got to do just about anything they wanted. They could have a Luna and fifty breeders. They could trade them out at will and without reason, but if a woman, no matter her class or station, was found to even have more than one lover, she’d be torn to shreds by their pack and may

Chapter 37 : : : : : : : Clear, Obvious, Agonizing

*Ember* The crowd continued to shift and move as if the wolf had never been there, but I kept staring after it wondering if I was just losing my mind from all the stress or if it was a sign from the Goddess that there was so much more to my life that I didn’t understand. Maybe I would never understand.“What are you looking at?”I turned around swiftly, looking up at Alec, who looked back towards the crowd before looking down at me with a lifted eyebrow. The sight of him made me set my jaw and put distance between us. A bit of hurt flickered in his eyes, but I couldn’t let myself feel anything about it.I met his purple gaze and braced myself to ask what I should have been asking all along.“What’s going on between us?” I swallowed. “What… What are we to one another?”Alec frowned. “What do you mean?”My lips twitched as I held back a snarl of anger. The guilty, nervous look on his face was enough to tell me that he knew exactly what I was asking.“Don’t… pretend like

Chapter 38 : : : : : : : I Have to Tell Her

*Alec*I grimaced as Cassandra drew closer to me. I caught her hands in mine and pushed her away gently, not missing the look of surprise on her face.“Stop it.”“Alec,” she whispered. “What—”“I saw the way you looked at Ember,” I said. “I don’t appreciate it.”Her eyes narrowed briefly. She didn’t pull her hands back, and she didn’t move as she looked up at me as if she was trying to figure something out.“Are you and the Shadow Walker mates?”Her words struck me breathless as I stared down at her. She cocked an eyebrow at me. Her eyes were still searching my face. I swallowed down my answer and focused on what she was saying. She didn’t deserve the answer before Ember did.Shadow Walker? I had heard of the term maybe once or twice in my life, but it still sent a chill through me. I could almost taste the ozone in the air as I thought back to when Ember had injured Bryan. Then, I narrowed my focus on Cassandra. While she was still a beautiful woman, there was somethin

Chapter 39 : : : : : : : You Will Always Be Mine

*Ember*His mate?I sat there, stunned by Alec’s revelation. The warmth of his hand started to seep into me past the cold that had gripped me since I left him with that woman in the village. His purple gaze was so open and earnest. Desperate. He wanted me to believe him, and as much as I wanted to, I resisted. His words echoed in my mind. My emotions felt like a storm rolling and rioting through me as a sense of unease started to come through. Could it be true? Was I truly his mate?“I should have told you”, he said. “The moment that I realized.” Why was he telling me this now? Just as I was making my peace with never seeing him again, whether that be because I would end up in Lukas’ clutches or with the Maidens? “Why… are you telling me this now?”He worked his jaw and tightened his grip on my hand. “Because you deserve to be the first person to know.”I looked away from me. “Wh-What difference does it—”“It makes all the difference, Ember,” he growled. “It

Chapter 40 : : : : : He’d Lose His Mind

*Ember*Alec left me in the gazebo after fixing my clothes. He kissed my forehead and told me he’d be back when it was time to go. As I looked out over the lake and across it to the mountains, I sighed with relief. All my fears about Alec’s plans for me were gone.Better than that, we were mates. The joy that filled me made my toes curl. My stomach was filled with butterflies at the thought. I couldn’t even feel the soreness from earlier. I was so happy and relieved. Alec wasn’t going to give me back to Lukas. He wasn’t choosing Cassandra over me. He wasn’t going to give me up at all. We would be together just like I’d hoped. I had never imagined that I would have a mate. In all the years of living with the Alpha King, I had never imagined much of a future. Finding Alec had been more than I had ever imagined. Now, there was so much more I could look forward to. I couldn’t stop smiling if I tried. Would I be the next luna of Whitelark? I rolled my lip between my teeth. What did t
