Novel & Cerita Wade X Ember

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.

The Elder said adamantly. The Alpha turned around, and I gasped as his dark orbs met mine. Slowly, his lips curled into a smile. “Good thing she's here. Now I can deal with this,” he said, his eyes solely focused on mine. What was he planning? My heart sank with unease, but nothing could have prepared me for what happened next. “Mara Reid, I, Dresden Wade, reject you as my mate.” He declared, pointing at me. It was like thunder, striking my insides. In an instant, the bond broke and pain sprouted through my body. I held back a whimper as I stumbled across the floor.

It was covered in mud, and I wasn't sure if it still worked. I picked it up and hid it in my pocket, quietly slipping into the house. Strangely enough, it was completely quiet inside. These two houses were built exactly the same way. I headed to the kitchen, grabbed a sharp knife, cut some wires, and reconnected the broken circuit inside the walkie-talkie. I could get it to work for just a moment. I pressed a few buttons at random, and, incredibly, I heard someone's voice. "Lone Wolf, do you copy? Lone Wolf, respond! I repeat, respond!"

“I know how to stay when things are uncomfortable. I know how to choose what is right, even when it costs me.” Her breath shuddered. She let it. “I know how to serve.” The silence deepened. Alina lifted her head. Tears blurred her vision. “If that is enough,” she whispered, “then show me. And if it is not, let me walk away without shame.” For a long moment, nothing happened. The candles held their light. The shadows did not shift. The Crown did not blaze. Waiting pressed in. Then the stone beneath her palms warmed. Not with heat that burned, but with warmth that spread slowly, steadily, like sunlight reaching through cloud. The ember stone glowed a little brighter, its light soft but unmista

CHAPTER ONE Ember Valen was famous for two things: Her wildfire spirit And her endless scandals. She was a storm in human form. She had cliff-dived off Amalfi’s highest rocks, raced stolen sports cars through neon Hong Kong nights, danced until dawn in Berlin’s rooftop clubs, and changed boyfriends as easily as changing outfits. If there was a wild thing to do, she had done it. Which was exactly why everyone was shocked when her family announced an arranged marriage between her…

Ember quipped, scrunching up her face. "Ever tried horse piss before?" Leon teased, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he took a sip. "No, but I'm pretty sure it tastes like this," she retorted, pushing the drink away. Leon simply grinned and finished his drink. The atmosphere hummed with excitement as the dancing commenced. Leon, ever the charmer, swept Ember onto the dancefloor, their steps a graceful waltz. Elara and I observed from the sidelines, enjoying the spectacle.

Never warmly. “Well,” he says, voice low and slow, “even chained like this, you’re beautiful.” Adrianna’s skin crawls. Her breath hitches before she can catch it, and she hates herself for the slip. She fixes her gaze on the wall behind him, refusing to give him the satisfaction of her eyes. Wade chuckles softly, taking a step closer. His shoes scrape against the concrete, each sound a reminder of how cornered she is. “I see the fire in you. That’s what makes this interesting.”

I’m also very puzzled as to what he is. I asked, “Wade, I have to ask, what species are you?” He smiled, “I’m werebear. You ladies are witch/werebear hybrids.” Taylor laughed, “I will be a tribrid and you will have four!” Wade looked at her with confusion, “Evan will be changing me to a mermaid soon, so that we can take turns living in each other’s worlds. Elisa will be changing to a wolf and dragon soon, because her mate is a wolf/dragon hybrid.” Wade laughed, “That’s a lot of spirits talking to you all at once, sweetie. Are you sure you want to do that?” I nodded, “I think I can handle it. I’m just going to need a reinforced steel wall in my head.” He laughed again and smiled, “Let’s go si

“Oh, I don’t think so. See, strangers passing through my city? That costs extra.” Ember bristled beside me. “Your city? Looks more like a graveyard.” Kade’s gaze flicked to her again, amusement dancing in his eyes. “And what are you, little phoenix? The one lighting the way?” The air grew heavier, the tension coiling tighter. “Enough,” I said, stepping in front of Ember. “We’re just passing through. Take what you want, and we’ll be gone.” Kade’s smile faded, replaced by something colder.

Cadfan sneered and said, “Jeremiah Wade will be overwhelmed very soon. So, how is he going to fight against me?” As he spoke, Cadfan said with great expectations, “Jeremiah Wade has always been most conscious of his image and reputation in his whole life. I am really looking forward to the scene where a hundred of the Wade family’s ancestors’ coffins would be dug out on the day of the Tomb Sweeping Festival. I cannot wait to see Jeremiah Wade, who is already in his seventies to eighties, wearing mourning clothes and paying his respects to Leonardo Waldron and his wife! When the time comes, I will have to take pictures of his worst and most miserable face so that I can upload it to the intern
