Emerald And Ace Novels & Stories

“200 years ago the Accord was signed in blood. Tonight you continue our ancestors legacy by binding to each other in more ways than one. The treaty originally meant to save our families from fighting had a secondary reaction, only discovered years later. The addition of Crimsonborn children in Accord marriages is a blessing that we must uphold.” Eira turns her back to us and I see a small table set up behind her. When she turns back to face us, she is holding the same knife from the Binding Ceremony. She holds out her palm and we lay our wrists out for her. It is so quiet in the room, I can only hear my breathing that is growing rapidly. Nathaniel’s free hand squeezes me and I offer him a sm

‘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.

In other words, these pieces had been advertised. For example, there was a pair of emerald earrings made in Colombia that had once been worn by Angelina Jolie in 2009. The emeralds were 115 carats and were worth 2.5 million dollars. There was also a stunning carved rock crystal Neil Lane necklace that included 100 carats worth of diamonds and was priced at 2 million dollars. The necklace had once been worn by Jennifer Lawrence in 2014… All in all, the jewelry being showcased that night was all very valuable and beautiful, so much so that Jade, who had never liked jewelry, was deeply attracted to it.

They are individual to that couple and as to what picture appears. “Well, where is this mate of yours?” Aiden asks. He has his arm wrapped around Mia as she smiles at the two of us. We tell him that Emerald and the other women are back at the packhouse. I see Uncle Jackson’s eyebrows raise when we say her name. “Emerald as in Cyreena and Tyrone’s little girl?” Uncle Jackson asks. “Yes, that Emerald,” Devon says.

The driver powered it off, dropped it into the pouch, and pushed it to the far corner of the table. “Good,” the driver said. “Mr. Blacke will be here soon.” Nathan rubbed his hands together and stared at the floor. The side door clicked, and Ace and Emma entered. Ace carried a slim case. He locked the door behind them and set the case on the table. “You did well,” Emma said. She pulled out a chair. “Sit with me.” Ace opened the case. Inside were a clean laptop, a small hard drive, two blank key fobs, and a simple phone with no camera.

Ace had hold of my hand that he grabbed in order to turn me back to face him and his other hand rested on my car, next to my head, blocking me in with nowhere to escape. My breath hitched in my chest as my heartbeat escalated into overdrive. The hold he had on my hand felt strangely… nice. Comforting even and I swear there were little tingles that danced across my skin where he held it. Ace took a breath and swallowed as he looked down at me and I could swear he felt what I just did. He seemed to get a hold of himself as he looked at me seriously before speaking. “This goes beyond a simple fuck," he muttered lowly, and his eyes darted towards my lips. My breathing was already coming out in n

As I waited for her response, I couldn't shake the feeling that Ace's mysterious demeanour was just the tip of the iceberg. Emily quickly responded, "I'll start digging right away. Let me know if anything else happens." Wrapped in a towel, I sat on the bed, contemplating the bizarre turn of events. The messages continued, each one more threatening than the last. "He's watching you, Lisa. You can't escape." Frustration and fear gnawed at me, but I refused to let it consume me. I needed answers. As Emily researched, she uncovered a hidden side of Ace's life—connections to a powerful and secretive organization. The more we delved into it, the murkier it became. It seemed I had stumbled into a w

His eyes fully focused on me as he enunciated the last word. Chills emerged on my skin, as my hands trembled a little, luckily for me, it was hidden beneath the layers of bed sheets. I turned around to go out with James, when his voice came in again. " What's your name?", he questioned I stood still as my father's warning flashed into my head, " don't reveal your surname to anyone", he had warned. I took in a short breath as I turned around to face him. " I'm Ember" " You have a sweet name Ember", he said as a smile made its way to his face.
