He even thought she had cheated on him. She should have known that her job as an escort would always be dirty in the eyes of others, regardless of whether she sold her body or not. When Sadie vanished, Chad turned the hospital upside down in search of her. His eyes reddened when he finally found her at the stairs. He acted as if he were deeply in love with her. "What happened to you, Sadie? You scared me when you disappeared. I can't live without you!" Chad pulled her into his arms and refused to let her go.

Leo asked. I thought about the fire that had broken through my binding, the ancient fury that had opened its eyes inside me and refused to be extinguished. I thought about Marcus, out there somewhere, still burning with whatever twisted rage drove him, and about how different that kind of fire was from what I wanted to build here. "Ember House," I said slowly, testing the words. "Because an ember isn't the destructive part of a fire. It's what's left after everything burns down — small, but still warm. Still alive. Still capable of starting something new if you're patient with it."

Her voice trembled as she spoke, “Jacob, are you doing okay up there?” Tears slid down her cheeks as she choked, “I’m sorry. I was too late.” When did she become someone who cried so easily? I rushed forward, trying to hold her. As if sensing something, she murmured, “In this life, the only ten years that mattered were the ten years I shared with you. I love you, Jacob.” Tears filled my eyes as my soul slowly began to fade. “Thank you, Agnes. I love you too.”

She answered her husband as she said, "Yes, a piece of wood or coal that is not burning, but is still red and hot after a fire has died." "What about Flame?" "The glossy part of the fire, cuddly bear," Saavi replied pulling Dhruv's nose. "What importance does an Ember hold to the Fire, love?" Dhruv waited for his love to answer who in reply said to him, "Ember ignites the fire and in its absence, the flame dies." "Exactly, just like that, you are important to me. You are the ember to my flame and without you, I will die." Saavi smiled as a happy tear when left her eye she confessed, "I love you, Dhruv. You are The Ember To My Flame."

Crimson shimmers race across the sky over our heads like fireworks, tearing down the ancient veil, cutting through the misty and perpetual storms that lock Emberfyll away from the rest of the world. Maybe one day I’ll wonder why Emberfyll was hidden. Whatever old god who did this was either trying to keep something out or lock something in. But it doesn’t matter now. I found my Alpha, and he loves me more than life itself. The shouts of awe abruptly turn to eerie silence as the last of the veil falls like burning pieces of parchment, spiraling toward the water. Logan and I look toward the water at the same time, and his grip on my body goes slack.

Ember With Clara gone, everywhere became silent, and boring, i have my eyes staring into the ceiling, reminiscing over what had happened in the past few years, it was just a few days ago when I was in Florida with Lyra, I was suddenly back here again in Arizona, A place I had begun my life, and the place everything came crashing down, everything I've ever cherished, loved, has. Truly, when you're alone you reminisce over everything, your mind will keep bringing them to you even if you don't want to.

Ember's POV I was lounging on the deck of the house, deciding to be all by myself after making sure that my kids were well fed and also due to the fact that I was experiencing withdrawal symptoms akin to addicts. Who would have thought that I'd be missing Xander so badly. Something had changed on the night of that Solstice and I wanted to get it back. My mind kept drifting to that man as much as I wanted to control it. My eyes laid on the scenery before me.

Right when I scanned my boarding pass and stepped through the gate, he called out, "Lucille, is there really no chance for us?" I did not stop walking. That was the clearest answer I could give him. The flight from Ember City to Cascade City flew by, just three hours. I had never been to Cascade City before. It was chillier than I expected. I checked into the cozy B&B I had booked instead of some fancy hotel. I wanted to feel the pulse of the place.

Keegan could see her hands shaking though, so he grabbed one of them and held it in his. “Absolutely. I want to know everything about you.” Rubbing his thumb across her hand. Letting the sparks between them soothe them both. His eyes conveyed his sincerity and that was what was truly hard to deny. In a rush, Ember decided to try just this once to let someone know a piece of her. Hoping she was right and could trust this feeling. “Honestly, I’m running until I can find answers as well. I don’t know what I am. I have control over heat, fire, and smoke. I am trying to find out the truth behind it all as well. I was captured when I was young. How young I’m not even sure.
