Alpha’s thirst for Ember Chapter 11
Against her will, Ember shivered, not from fear, but from the sheer proximity of Thorne. Her mouth felt frozen and her thoughts sluggish. All she could do was focus on his pale, handsome face. The dark stubble over his strong, sharp jaw testified to his ruthlessness. His biceps and toned body evident through his half buttoned shirt. The mate bond threatened to pull her toward him, her wolf chanting ‘Mate, mate, mate’ in her head. It took all her willpower not to throw herself at him. Shoving her attraction aside, she let anger take over instead. She scowled at him silently, meeting his gaze as she twisted her hands uncomfortably against the ropes. Thorne ran his eyes over her, cold and assessing, his expression tightening with a look of disgust. She looked every bit the lowly slave, wearing a dirty, baggy dress that hung off her slim frame. Her reddish-brown hair was a tangled mess around her face, her eyes sunken, revealing exhaustion and hunger. Patches of dried mud clung to her

Throughout the afternoon in his office, Ember never left his mind as he sifted through his accounts. His thoughts kept drifting, recalling the softness of her hair beneath all the grime, her defiant spirit, and the way she stood her ground against him without a hint of fear. When he told her he hit women, he hadn’t meant it, he only wanted to scare her into submission. But instead of breaking her, it had only fueled her anger. He sighed. The last thing he needed right now was this kind of distraction, not with Matteo breathing down his neck and moving sneakily within his territory. The last time he had seen Matteo was during the ‘cleansing’. That’s what he called it, the night he annihilated the rogue packs that had betrayed their cause. Ten years ago, he and three other alphas; Matteo of Silvercrest, Hale of Bloodveil, and the leader of Ashen Pack, had agreed to form a union, merging their resources while maintaining their independence. Together, they flourished for six years, thei

Serene paced the room, her fists tightening with each step. She thought she had gotten to Thorne after their passionate night, yet he still didn’t trust her. She couldn’t blame him though. Who would trust a cheating Luna? She stormed over to the bed and collapsed onto it, muffling a scream into the mattress as she hit the foam with her fists in frustration. When the fit passed, she sat up, smoothing down her hair while collecting herself. Thorne’s new mate lingered in her mind. Who was she? Was she here, in the mansion, right now? What kind of woman had fate dared to pair him with? Her carefully formed plans would unravel if she didn’t take care of this huge problem. But why had Thorne slept with her if he already had a mate? Could it be that he didn’t want his mate? If that was the case, then fate was on her side. She smiled. Returning to Matteo was out of the question as she had siphoned a generous portion of his wealth for herself, ensuring she could leave him when the time was r

Thorne stood on the rooftop of his mansion with a drink in hand, his gaze sweeping over the horizon where his territory stretched. He had summoned Darius, his chief enforcer, and sentinel, to take a direct approach to the issue of Matteo’s encroachment on his territory. The door to the terrace opened, and Darius stepped forward. “The men are in the boardroom, awaiting your arrival, Alpha,” Darius announced, looking at Thorne’s back. “Thank you. I proposed this meeting because I have an idea, one that can solve two problems with one stone,” Thorne said, taking a sip of his drink. He stepped off the edge of the terrace and turned to face Darius. “Aren’t you curious? You haven’t asked me what the plan is,” he remarked. Darius met his eyes and said, “Of course I am. Tensions have been brewing long enough, but I gave you your space because I know you like to think.” “You’re right about that,” Thorne said. “I’m going to invite Matteo over, to smooth things out and make him take Seren

Ember walked briskly toward the towering gates that led out of the mansion, holding her long dress up with her hands. Her heart pounding with anxiety and urgency. She needed to check on Kaya and Raphael, they had to be worried sick. Ever since she was taken from the servants quarters, she hadn’t heard from them, not a single word. She couldn’t hear from them. The servants who lived outside the mansion in the camps and lower quarters, were forbidden from entering the estate. Thorne’s rule, punishable by death. Only a few, who were deemed exemplary in both conduct and duties, were sometimes promoted to serve within the mansion. But it took years, and the chances were slim unless they had connections or a direct pardon from the Alpha himself. The only reason she had been allowed within these walls was because of the mate bond, that bitter truth sat heavy in her chest. As Ember reached the massive iron gates, two guards immediately stepped forward toward her, blocking her path. “Where

Thorne was torn, his mind a raging battlefield. He cursed his wolf under his breath for distracting him so much. Her scent was overwhelming, amplified by the mate bond, it saturated his office, tickling his chest like the fingers of a seductive wraith. Her beauty took him aback, it was the first time he had seen her cleaned up and dressed up properly. But that didn’t change the fact that she was a mere servant, and an insolent one at that. ’Mark her‘, his wolf insisted. But this was not the time. He needed to address her ridiculous request first. “How do you think that would make me look?” he asked, sitting up in his chair, rubbing his hands together. “The Alpha’s mate, frolicking with servants?” Ember straightened, no doubt trying to look taller, hiding her nerves with false confidence. “I don’t intend to frolic,” she countered. “I just want to see my friends. Ever since I was rudely taken from the camps, they don’t know my state of being so they must be worried…” “Then let the

What just happened? Ember asked herself, her wolf whining and whimpering in her head, just as shocked as she was. She felt so dirty and used. Still on the floor, tears streamed down her face as she stared at the door in disbelief. She raised her trembling hand to her throat, rubbing it tenderly. It hurt so much from his assault. She couldn’t believe fate had mated her to such an evil creature. He hadn’t cared that he hurt her, he had only wanted his own pleasure at her expense. Shame burned through her as she choked back heavy sobs, sniffing and dabbing at her face with her dress. After a while, she pushed herself up from the floor, her gaze sweeping across the office. She could trash it. Or better still, burn it all to the ground. The thought of setting the whole mansion on fire made her heart beat with excitement, but she forced a deep breath and quelled her arsonous urge. Maybe something in this office could help her. She walked to the towering shelves lined with neatly arrang

“Thorne, knowing me, would I ever orchestrate such a foolish errand?” Matteo asked with confusion. “I only found out a day after it happened. The ringleader informed me they had received an anonymous tip claiming you were holding my wife… my Luna… hostage.” Thorne cocked a brow, unimpressed. “See? I was just as surprised,” Matteo continued. “I knew you would never do that, so I reprimanded all involved, but I couldn’t get to the bottom of it.” He tapped his leg absentmindedly. “Serene and I had a little lover’s argument, so I wasn’t surprised when she stormed off on ‘business’ and didn’t return. I knew she was doing it to spite me, and out of pride I didn’t care to reach out.” Thorne leaned forward, resting his arms on the desk. “Are you saying you never sent her to negotiate a land lease with me?” “Land lease?!” Matteo snorted. “She asked me for ten acres to farm psychedelics and wolfsbane, which I refused. She likes to dabble in dangerous things, that was the cause of our fight

Ember was taken aback.Did he just say… mate? To who?Her wolf snarled violently at the silver wolf as he took a tentative step toward her. Her sneer meant ‘watch it.’But the silver wolf did not stop, he kept moving forward in slow, deliberate steps, sniffing the air like it intoxicated him. When he came within biting distance, Ember snapped her jaws at him in warning, but with lightning fast speed, he struck her muzzle with his huge paw. Ember recovered immediately and latched onto his leg, biting down with force until she tasted blood.Anger flashed in the silver wolf’s red eyes, and he barked, swiping at her again, this time with more force, sending her rolling away from the carriage.As Ember stood up, she saw him sniffing the back of the carriage where Kaya and her mother lay unconscious. The moment she rushed at him, his voice came into her head again, assertive, with a hint of warning.‘Mate.’Ember approached the carriage cautiously, her wolf still bristling. The silver wol

The night wind was cold, biting into Ember’s skin as she rode in the back of the carriage with Kaya, Luna Zyrah, and Raphael, while Caden sat at the front. They had taken blankets along, draping them over the sleeping women to protect them from the harsh cold.Ember was silent, trying her best to ignore the ache of the mate bond. It took every bit of her self-control not to shift into her wolf form and run back into Thorne’s arms. She had thought she was ready to leave him, but her wolf wanted otherwise. She whined and pawed at the edges of Ember’s mind, resurfacing every time Ember pushed her back into her subconscious.Raphael noticed. He contemplated asking her about it but wasn’t sure she would want to talk, especially with her brother at the front, who was obviously annoyed with the arrangement. Then, seeing her discomfort, he asked anyway.“Are you okay?” Raphael peered at her with concern.“Yeah,” Ember responded softly, her eyes never leaving the direction of Thorne’s mansio

Ember stared at Thorne defiantly, her chest rising and falling with pemt up rage. She had already checked out mentally, and being forced to stay in a place she didn’t want to be in was going to be hell.Thorne met her gaze with the same intensity, then he said something that stunned her.“If you leave this territory, make sure you never come back. My guards will tear you apart if you so much as step a foot in.” His voice was icy. He meant it.Ember was at a loss for words. She had been ready to fight for her right to leave, not for him to cut her off completely. Before she could respond, Thorne waved a hand at his guards. They released Caden immediately, the chains clattering to the floor as he stood up, glaring at Thorne.“Let’s go get our mother, Ember,” Caden said, grabbing her arm and leading her out the door. Her gaze locked with Thorne’s until they stepped into the hallway, the mate bond thumping in her chest.Caden walked briskly, like he already knew where their mother was, he

Ember sat on her vanity, running a brush through her hair when she felt it, a sudden feeling of high alert. She peered around the room as though someone was hiding in the shadows, watching her.Before she could react to the sinking feeling in her chest, she heard a loud crash. It sounded like it came from Thorne’s wing. Maybe he was having a tantrum, who knew what had angered him this time. She was about to continue preparing for bed when she heard muffled snarls and more crashing.She stood up immediately, moving to her window. Some guards in the courtyard were racing into the mansion amidst the growling and crashing coming from Thorne’s room.The mate bond tugged at her, and before she knew it, she found herself running out of her room toward Thorne’s wing, her heart pounding, different scenarios playing in her head. What if they were under attack?Before she reached his door, more than five guards rushed ahead of her, storming inside to the sounds of shifting bodies, more growlin

Caden stealthily moved through the darkness, his footsteps light against the damp earth. The towering walls of Thorne’s estate loomed ahead, but he didn’t slow down. He had one goal, to put an end to the monster who had taken his mother captive.Matteo’s words rang in his head, “Thorne has her. If you want to save her, you know what to do.”His fingers curled into fists as he lept, gripping the rough stone of the wall. It wasn’t easy, but years of training made it possible. He scaled it swiftly, dropping onto the other side without a sound. The mansion was ahead, bathed in soft moonlight, and he could see the large balcony that led straight to Thorne’s bedroom.Caden took his time getting there, making sure no guards were in sight. When he reached the balcony, he tested the glass door. It was locked.No problem.He pulled a small blade from his pocket, he wedged it into the gap between the door and the frame, twisting until he heard a soft click. The lock gave wa
Alpha’s thirst for Ember Chapter 59
Ember sat by Kaya’s side in the pack clinic, running her fingers through her short blond hair. Kaya had never spoken about it outright, but Ember knew how attached she had been to her hair. It was the one thing that made Kaya feel unique in a world of fantasy and powerful beings, it had made her feel special and distinguished. Long and thick enough to turn heads, it shone in the sun like it had a life of its own.And Darius had ruthlessly taken it from her. Ember scowled at the thought of him, barely containing her anger. She couldn’t wait to witness his end. He was going to pay for his crimes against her family, people like him always got their karma in the end.Kaya’s fingers twitched slightly, drawing Ember closer to the bed.“I’m here. You’re okay,” Ember whispered, tracing the side of her face. “Wake up soon so you can recover and become a wolf like your parents always wanted.”Ember thought about what the nurse had said and couldn’t understand why Kaya, or anyone, for that matte
Alpha’s thirst for Ember Chapter 58
Caden walked into Alpha Matteo’s office. The space was grand, filled with sculptures and plaques, reflecting Matteo’s obsession with making an impression. He had been training relentlessly every day, honing his stealth and fighting skills, waiting for the day Matteo would summon him with the news he so desperately wanted to hear, the mission on Thorne. Although he itched to march down to Thorne’s territory and engage him in battle to avenge his father, he respected Matteo’s decision to observe the coast first. Matteo was seated in his black, plush office chair, a thick, lit cigar in hand. As he heard Caden enter, he turned his head to regard him but burst into a coughing fit, the smoke evidently getting into his lungs. “Alpha,” Caden said, bowing in respect. “Caden, boy,” Matteo rasped in the middle of his coughing fit. Caden waited patiently as Matteo grabbed his cup of whiskey, downing it in one loud gulp to soothe his throat. “I’ve seen you training tirelessly, boy,” Matteo sai

He walked into the inn room, brushing past Serene, who was holding the door open. “Well?!” she yelled again, following him with her arms crossed over her chest. “You’re disgusted by me, aren’t you? So I thought to give you some space. And I needed the air,” Darius said flatly. He took off his shirt, the fabric soiled with grime and mud. “You were taking air for three days?!” Darius ignored her. He walked into the bathroom and shut the door. Serene stomped over and tried to open it, but he had bolted it from inside. “Open the damned door, Darius!” she screamed, pounding her fists against the wood. “Ugh!” she yelled in frustration. Inside the bathroom, Darius sighed as he washed himself. W
Alpha’s thirst for Ember Chapter 56
Thorne drafted out the notice in his office. It was to be delivered to the soldiers quarters concerning his need for a new beta. A date would be set, and all the interested wolves would attend, sparring against each other until the winners from each group competed for a chance to be trained personally by him. Then he would choose a beta from them within a month after judging their skills in combat and delegated leadership. After penning down the last sentence and stamping the document, he sighed, having accomplished that task. “Jameson,” he called, and his office door opened as one of his guards answered. The guard marched toward his outstretched hand and bowed sharply before taking the envelope. “Deliver this to the Captain of the Guard. I expect the preparations to commence as soon as possible.” “Yes, Alpha,” Jameson said, bowing again before leaving the office. Thorne sighed again. There was only one name on his mind. Ember. But he wasn’t ready. Not yet. He wasn’t ready for
