Torin left shortly after Ember was carried out. He went straight to his room ignoring the calls of a few she-wolves trying to get his attention. His mind was a whorl of emotions. It was her. He couldn’t take his eyes off her when she first walked into the ballroom but it wasn’t until he took her hand in his that he felt the sparks run throughout his entire body. He couldn’t stop dancing, he didn’t want anyone else touching her. He had never felt jealousy before, but when that wolf grabbed her hand he wanted to punch him. He took off his boots and tossed them on the floor running his hands through his hair.Why didn’t she seem to feel the same? Perhaps it was how much she had had to drink. The Fae wine can dim the senses easily, even after one glass and he assumed she’d had a couple. That wolf boy though was acting as if they were mates. Torin shook his head confused and a little angry. He was feeling it already. She was his Fated, and it was taking his entire self-control not to head
When he got there he was surprised to see a large group already there despite the early hour. They were gathered around one ring in particular cheering on two fighters that were fighting hand to hand. Curious, Torin walked over to watch and see how well the wolves here could fight. He nudged his way in between a group of young warriors and his mouth dropped open as he watched his beautiful fated crouching low eyeing up her opponent with a small calculated grin. Her hair was pulled back into a fishtail braid and she was wearing only a sports bra and very short, very tight, workout shorts. Her opponent was easily twice her size and he was chuckling while trying to taunt her. She didn’t respond. Torin had to use all of his self-control to not jump in the ring and pull her out. He didn’t know how he felt about this, partly turned on, partly jealous, and partly worried she would get hurt. The big wolf lunged forward trying to catch her off guard pulling Torin from his thoughts as he watche
Ember couldn’t figure out why she had felt so angry at seeing Torin kiss someone else. It should really be none of her business. He was a guest and that was it, but when she woke up she felt the urge to go see him. She didn’t even know what she was going to say at first, it wasn’t until she was halfway to the guest wing that she remembered fainting the night before while dancing with him and thought she could use that as her reason. Though when she got to his room and saw his door open and the she-wolf walked out, she saw red. She decided she needed to hit something, and the warriors here always thought it a fun game to try and take her on.When she looked up after her spar with Rory she was surprised to meet the prince's eyes as he stood, watching her. She felt a surge of excitement which she swallowed down, remembering her anger. She’d hoped if she ignored him he would get the hint and walk away, but there was that surge of excitement when she saw he had followed her. She couldn’t h
They went to the Alpha’s personal office, David had another office that he used for his day-to-day duties where he always had the door open for anyone who needed him, but this one he saved for more private matters. As they entered, the King of the Fae was there sitting across from her Grandad they both had a glass of a dark amber liquid, and the bottle of scotch sat between them on his desk. They both had looks of concern on their faces. “Ah, Ember ma dear, here ye are. Good, the prince is here too. Have a seat both ye.” He gestured towards the other two chairs available. Clary sat on the couch. “It seems that we do not have a border issue but a missing persons issue. In this case, it has come to our attention that both Fae and Wolves are going missing.” King Aeginar told them as David took a sip from his scotch. “Oh aye, we’re missing bout ten wolves now, and the fae’er up ter six,” David added in. Ember concealed the shock from her face and glanced at Torin. He, however, looked
It was almost dinner so they thought it would be a good time to head into the village, Ember asked Caleb to get them a car ready while she brought the two fae to their supply stores to find them some more modern clothes. She didn’t think they would blend in very well in their current clothing, which looked like something from a King Arthur legend. She found a pair of jeans, a t-shirt and a hoody for Albwin and a jacket for Torin. Albwin was a bit on the smaller side so the clothing looked a little baggy on him, Ember tried not to giggle at his horrified expression. “You actually enjoy wearing clothes like this?” He asked as he pulled the hooded sweater over his head, he had changed first. “Well, usually we go and buy clothing that fits properly and is more our own style. But yes, it's comfortable.” She shrugged looking at her own outfit which was a pair of black skinny jeans, a fitted green t-shirt, and a leather jacket. “I don’t think it's that bad.” Torin walked out from the chan
He stayed right on her heel as they entered the building.“I meant what I said in the pack house by the way. I won’t give you up easily. I’ll prove that I deserve you, the goddess paired us for a reason.” He leaned in as he followed her talking in her ear as the din of the pub washed over them. It seemed to be a popular place but not overly crowded. Ember looked around choosing to ignore Torin for the time being since she didn’t know how to respond to him. She spotted an empty table by the back wall and headed over to it. The pub was fairly big with a large bar along one side, booths along the front wall and tables dotted throughout. There was a small stage for live music in the corner that looked rarely used and a dart board with a piece missing. Sitting down beside one another so they could both watch the room, Torin stretched back and put his arm around her casually. Ember was about to protest when he spoke.“It would look strange for people to sit beside one another unless they we
When she made it outside she looked around trying to see where the man had gone. She thought she might have lost him when she caught a glimpse of him turning down the alley between the pub and the shop next door. Keeping the phone to her ear and making her mouth move as if she was talking, she slowly made her way in the same direction. She turned around a couple of times as if she was pacing while talking. She didn’t know if the other man could see her from the window and she wanted to keep up the show, just in case. Finally, she got to the edge of the building and out of sight and kept quiet seeing if she could hear any talking. Straining her ears and bringing her wolf forward enough to enhance her hearing further she managed to make out a gruff voice. “Yes sir. Are you sure?” He paused as if listening, and she moved a little closer to the edge of the building trying to make sure she didn't give herself away. “Yes, one pretty she-wolf and I think a fae, sir. They are acting like they
The ride back to the pack house was silent. She had pushed Caleb back gently after seeing the look on Torin’s face when he hugged her. She was trying to comfort her friend but it felt wrong now. She still couldn’t feel the bond properly with Torin but the hurt in his eyes was as strong as feeling it. The more she sat thinking about it the more guilty she felt. Torin had sat behind her, she wished she could feel his emotions since hers were a complete mess. Caleb was brooding and looked angry. Which only started to make her angry. Why was he upset? Suddenly she felt tingles on her shoulder and she glanced back. Torin had casually rested his hand on the back of her seat gently touching her shoulder. He wasn’t looking at her, he was looking out the window. Did he feel her emotions? Or was he trying to calm himself down? Either way, it was a comfort. She let out a sigh and rested her head against the window closing her eyes and trying to clear her head.They arrived at the pack house and
