The Mute Wolf

Chapter 34

Embers POV

It had been 3 days since Little Wolf and his pervert beta Logan came to dinner. 3 days that I had realised I could finally be free from being hitched to that controlling jerk that was Zak. I was so tired of it all and I knew if nothing else that I had to be free from this. Of course, I'd have Little Wolf by my side for comfort and support. As well as other things... Maybe we may even get to finally be together properly now. Tyson has his mate, Zak will find his, I hope and I guess it's up to Little Wolf what he wants to do about his mate.. The thought hadn't crossed my mind up until now. He hasn't found her. But doesn't mean she's not lurking out there somewhere...

Eric from the council and Tyson both agreed to help me get out of my marriage to Zak. Normally it would have been a very difficult thing to accomplish, but lucky for me I was owed a favour and Tyson still wanted me to be happy; he still cared so much for me which was evident when my father had spoken to him. He jumped at the chance to help.
Both Eric and Tyson would need Zak and I to sign a couple things to make it all official. Since Zak had realised this was all happening and not just some bad dream, he hasn't been himself. He'd been moodier, which sure that wasn't too different for him, but he had been drinking more and just had this whole I don't give a crap about anything attitude going on. My father had even told him he could still be the next pack alpha. But he had a lot of changing and growing up to do. Not to mention he needed to find his mate. They say you change when you're with your mate. Personally it didn't work for me, but then not everyone has such a tragic story as myself.

In order for us to sign these documents we had to travel up to Tysons pack and meet them both at the same manor that Ares once dragged me to and tried to breed me. Shivers went down my spine at the thought of going back to that place. Not to mention Tysons mate would probably be there and I certainly didn't feel like meeting her. Or any pups they may have by now! I wasn't looking forward to having flashbacks of so many bad memories by travelling up there. But I was happy to be getting rid of Zak and I would be happy to see Tyson and anyone else I made friends with when I was there. I tried to focus on the good memories of being there with Tyson when we first met and put all other horrible memories of Ares or the Redwoods aside. But it was difficult.
"Ember, I hope you're up, we need to get going soon!" My fathers voice shouted from the bottom of the stairs. I sat up in bed and reached out for the clothes I had waiting in a pile, not even bothering with a shower. I had a pretty good bath and hair wash last night and we certainly didn't have the time for all that now. I'd rather go without and sleep longer, wouldn't you?
"I'm coming!" I shouted back, only just getting into my fresh ripped jeans and an off the shoulder black top. I attached a big buckled belt to my jeans and tucked the front of my top behind it. I quickly brushed my hair and sprayed it in place when I was happy I got the desired look; windswept but stylish. Or that's what I thought anyway.
My teeth brushed, trainers on and my favourite leather jacket on, I was ready to go! It was only 7:13, far too early to be eating but we were going to stop off half way anyway. It's gonna be a long journey and I wasn't happy about sharing it with Zak. I just hoped he behaved himself!

Waiting by the car dressed in a black shirt and black jeans was Zak. He looked smart enough, but he still looked like crap. He was taking all this quite hard but honestly, I was doing him a favour!
"You look beautiful." He muttered when he saw me.
"Do I?" Was all I could think to reply. The compliment from Zak just made me feel really weird and awkward and as if sensing it he got into the back seat of my fathers car and shut the door.
"Alright let's go shall we?" My father smiled, jingling the keys in his hand. "Don't want to miss the ferry up there." He spoke worriedly. The ferry that Willy drove only travelled to Tysons pack twice a day so we had to make sure we got on it in time. I thought of the last time I saw him and couldn't help but smile. It would be great to see him again.
"Do you have to have that cheesy grin on your face?" Zak's voice sounded from the back seat, an irritated and bored look across his face.
"I was thinking about the ferry driver. The last time I saw him." I told Zak, although I don't know why. I don't owe him any explanations. Not anymore.
"Why? Did you fall in love with him, too?" Zak's irritated tone continued. I gave off a loud tut noise and just ignored him. Not even going to waste my breath.
