Alpha’s thirst for Ember Chapter 43
Ember felt crushed beneath the weight of all the eyes that were on her. Her heavy breathing sounded almost too loud in the silence of the hall. From the corner of her eye, she saw Dorothea watching her, her expression torn between belief and doubt. Ember’s heart clenched at the uncertain look on her face. Even worse, Serene was there too, smiling smugly as she looked down at Ember, who was on her knees between two guards. Ember’s chest burned with hatred for her, but she forced herself to tear her gaze away from Serene and focus on Thorne. “Answer me!” Thorne’s voice boomed angrily, echoing through the hall. “I didn’t mean to keep it from you, Thorne…” “It’s Alpha. Alpha Thorne to you,” he snapped, his voice thick with anger… and something else. Hurt. Ember swallowed hard, her voice tight with unshed tears. “I didn’t mean to keep it from you, Alpha. I swear to you, I had no plans against you. I just wanted to find my mother and brother, that’s all!” Thorne looked at her with disb

If Thorne was angry before, now he was enraged. He placed both hands on his hips and took a deep, rattling breath with his back turned to Ember. “How many of ours?” he asked Darius, who was being helped up by the pack nurse. “It’s just the three of us left,” Darius responded grimly, gesturing to himself and the two wounded guards beside him. People stared and glared at Ember, the whispering taking on a hateful and accusing tone. Thorne rubbed his chin as he slowly turned to face her. His eyes were bloodshot and livid. “Tell me why I shouldn’t end you right here, Ember.” “I don’t know what he’s talking about, please,” Ember said, her voice shaky and pleading. The tears were falling in earnest now, and her heart twisted under the weight of the accusations. Maybe she could have avoided this if she had just come clean to him. But why were Darius and Serene doing this? What had she done to them? “Why would you do this?” Thorne asked, looking at her with disgust. “Innocent people, wom

Darius lunged at Thorne with a vicious snarl, crashing into him with the full force of his weight. Thorne met him headon, swiping his claws across Darius’s face in defense. Darius howled in pain, stumbling back but keeping his eyes locked intently on Thorne. ‘This is what it has come to?’ Thorne snarled in a low tone through the link. ‘Fighting over a woman?’ Darius didn’t answer. He came at Thorne again, feinting a left bite before leaping into the air and landing on him, sinking his teeth into Thorne’s spine. Thorne thrashed violently, trying to shake him off, then he bucked hard, sending Darius flying into the metal door of a cell. Inside, Kaya shrieked and scrambled backward, pressing herself against the far wall. She covered her ears and hugged her knees as fear trembled through her. “Kaya!” Ember screamed when she heard her cries. She yanked desperately at the cell door, but it was locked. Thorne and Darius circled each other, their deep growls echoing off the stone walls. O

Stella sat on her brother’s chosen log, away from the rest of the group. The small fire they used for warmth and cooking cast an orange glow on her stoic face. Her brother, Ragnar, was away on patrol. Anytime he left to hunt or patrol, she felt down and alone. She was friendly with the rest of the group but was closest to her brother and always gravitated toward him and stuck to his side whenever he returned. Ragnar noticed her dependence on him and decided to take steps to push her to be comfortable on her own, or at least to make other friends apart from him. That was why he stopped letting her go on patrols or hunts with him, hoping she would be forced to mingle with the others. But unknown to him, Stella was always perched on that log, waiting for him to return. As she stared off into the night, watching the group, Collin approached her. He quietly sat beside her on the log, glancing at her as he settled. “What are you thinking about?” Collin asked softly, following her line of

Ragnar finally escaped his sister’s clutches and picked up a pair of pants from a drying line before slipping behind a tree to shift back into his human form. Stella waited dutifully for him until he emerged moments later, shirtless and wearing the pants. She hung off his arm and talked his ear off as they walked back toward Collin, who was still sitting on the log. Collin shifted uncomfortably and stood up, pressing his legs together to hide his arousal from his previous time with Stella. He extended his arm to Ragnar, who took it in a firm handshake before pulling him in for a brotherly hug. “Hey, Ragnar, did you spy anything in the woods?” Collin asked. “Nothing at all. It’s all calm out there,” Ragnar said, plopping down on the ground beside him. “Have you heard back from your guy?” “Unfortunately, no. It’s been radio silence ever since the last time we met. I don’t know why he would go ghost like that,” Collin responded thoughtfully. “I just hope he hasn’t been caught,” Ragna

Darius limped through the woods, his fur matted with blood and grime. He walked slowly and quietly to avoid drawing the attention of any patrolling guards or wolves that might want a fight as he was too weak for another skirmish. His wolf huffed in frustration, he had been so close, so very close to getting what he wanted most. Thorne’s pack. He flinched at the thought of Serene’s disappointment when he found her. He was supposed to secure their and their baby’s future, but he had failed. Leaning on a tree to catch his breath, he shook his head. No, as long as he was still alive, he hadn’t failed, he would not give up. Too much was at stake. As he began to move again, unsure of where he was headed but determined to get off Thorne’s territory, he heard a sound, hushed voices. He froze to listen. Then, the voice came again. “Darius?” It was Serene. Darius whined and spun in the direction of the voice, limping as he went. Then, from behind a tree, Serene stepped out. As Darius approa

Ember sat beside Kaya’s bedside in the mansion’s clinic, while her mother rested a room away. It had been a week of bedside waiting, and when she stared at her mother’s face, she willed her to wake up. The pack doctor had informed her that her mother had been overdosed with a high concentration of wolfsbane and that it would take weeks for her to recover, and at the risk of losing her wolf. Ember had shivered at the news. Knowing her mother and how much she loved her wolf, she would rather die than lose her. And Ember understood completely, losing your wolf sounded like the most painful and soul shattering thing that could ever happen to a person. Every day, she made rounds in the clinic, checking on both her mother and Kaya, who was still mourning the loss of her hair. She cursed Darius for hurting two of the most important women in her life and swore to get her revenge. Kaya had a bald spot at the nape of her skull where Darius’s grip and the tension from the knife had forcefully p

Thorne sat in his office, going through his accounts as he waited for General Halister, who he had summoned minutes earlier. He was very interested in what Halister had to say concerning the massacre that had taken place at the Valley of Gods, orchestrated by Darius and Serene. Goosebumps riddled his skin whenever he thought about the massacre. He couldn’t believe Darius had gone that far just to plant a seed of discord between him and his mate, and to further their plans of killing him and seizing his territory. He wondered what plans they had put in place for the next phase, and to think he had been living with his own enemies all this time. His door creaked open as the gut of General Halister preceded him past the doorway into the office. “Alpha Thorne, I must say it’s a pleasure to see you hale and hearty.” Halister grunted as he walked toward Thorne’s table and settled in the chair across from him. “I can see that you’ve recovered. That’s good.” “Halister,” Thorne said with an

Alpha’s thirst for Ember Chapter 87
Thorne’s massive black wolf clashed with the white one, their growls shaking the quiet woods as they snapped and scraped at each other. They broke apart, circling each other, both ready to kill.Before either of them could lunge again, a voice yelled out. “Ragnar!” Kaya shouted as she burst into the clearing with panic all over her face.Ember’s heart skipped and her eyes darted to the white wolf... realizing…“Wait…” she murmured, “That’s Ragnar…”She didn’t stop to think and she rushed toward them, throwing her arms out. “Stop! Both of you!”The black wolf that was Thorne skidded to a halt, baring his teeth. The white wolf growled, his chest rising and falling in heavy breaths.“He’s with us,” Ember said quickly, her eyes on Thorne. “Ragnar’s one of us. He’s not the enemy.”Ragnar growled through the mind-link, his voice rough and angry in her head.“He’s always been the enemy. I came here to kill him.”Thorne responded just as coldly.“You can try. Everyone who’s ever wanted a pie

“I’m going outside to get some air,” Ember muttered.Caden just nodded, already sinking back onto the edge of the bed, his eyes never leaving Stella’s face.Ember made her way down the stairs as the house buzzed with activity all around her. Hammers tapped, brushes sweeping, voices murmuring all around the house. She passed the workers, each one pausing to bow slightly or nod at her.The hallway no longer looked like abandonment. The cobwebs were gone, the heavy smell of dust had been replaced with clean air and the faint scent of polish. The faded wallpapers had been stripped and replaced with colors that glowed warmly under the light streaming through the lamps. It was becoming a home again. She was the Luna of Thorne Maddox’s pack. That truth echoed in her head with a weight she could finally carry, and she was carrying his child. And despite all his scars and all their disagreements, Thorne had ordered this house to be rebuilt and had stationed guards to protect her, he had exten

Ember watched from the far side of the room as Caden pressed his palm to Stella’s forehead. His expression was grim, and his shoulders dropped in sadness.“She’s not burning up,” he said, “she’s healing fine… just still out cold.”Probably from the trauma, Ember thought, but she didn’t say it out loud. Stella’s lashes twitched a little but her face was slack. Ragnar sat on one of the narrow beds with his legs spread and his hands clenched. The big room was starting to feel like a den, her mother’s corner armchair, Caden kneeling beside Stella sleeping, Ragnar barely holding it together, and her, watching it all. The builders hadn’t finished the left wing they started with so for now, the master bedroom was all they had.Ragnar’s voice broke the silence. “Where’s Kaya?”“She’s okay,” Ember said. “She’s healed completely. But she wasn’t here when we brought you two in. She probably went out for a run or something.”He didn’t say anything, he just gave her a stiff nod and stared down at
Alpha’s thirst for Ember Chapter 84
The night was silent, broken only by the soft rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of crickets. Moonlight slipped through the dense canopy of the trees above, casting shadows over the forest floor where the eight men moved like ghosts, silently and focused.Darius kept his eyes ahead and his senses sharp. Every step brought them closer to the edge of Thorne’s estate. The tall walls of stone loomed in the distance, partially covered by wild vines and the mist.Collin crouched ahead of them, and raised one hand as a signal.Darius stepped forward and joined him, crouching beside him in the bushes. Collin’s breath steamed slightly in the cool night as he leaned in towards him.“We can get in without much trouble,” he whispered. “Security is even more lighter than we expected.”Darius gave him a curt nod that confirmed that he’d heard. Bloodveil had drawn Thorne’s attention and he had left his home vulnerable.Collin looked over his shoulder at the men behind them, then turned back

Darius watched as Collin spat out a thick glob of blood, then he laughed… actually laughed, and slapped his thighs like it was all a joke.“I can’t believe she escaped before I ever got a taste,” Collin said like it was nothing. Stella had nearly died.Disgust crawled under Darius’s skin, but he kept his expression flat. He reminded himself for the hundredth time that he needed Collin. At least until Thorne was dead. After that, they’d never have to cross paths again.The air still smelled like blood, and the clearing was eerily silent now that the chaos had ended. Ragnar had fought like a possessed man, pummeling Collin to the edge of death before scooping his unconscious sister into his arms and walking away without a word. Back to Bloodveil, no doubt.Collin spat again then rolled his shoulders as his body continued the process of healing. Flesh stitched itself together where Ragnar’s claws had torn into his ribs.He’d taken damage, but he’d given it too. It had been a dirty fight

Luna Zyrah stood from her bed, her robe brushing against the stone floor as she walked over to Kaya’s corner. Kaya sat curled up by the window, staring blankly at the wall like it held all the answers to her pain.“How long do you plan to sulk?” Luna Zyrah asked with her arms crossed. “Shouldn’t you be preparing to meet your mate? The one who saved your life?”Kaya didn’t move or blink. “I asked you a question,” Zyrah said, her voice tight. “When I speak to you, you answer.”“I’m not one of your wolves,” Kaya said flatly. “You’re not my Luna. I don’t belong to anyone.”Luna Zyrah’s hand lifted like she meant to slap her across the face.“Mother,” Ember’s voice cut through the air, sharp and calm all at the same time.Zyrah froze mid-motion. She didn’t look back at Ember, she just exhaled sharply through her nose and stormed out of the room, robes flaring behind her.Ember crossed the room with slow, careful steps, like she wasn’t sure Kaya would even tolerate her presence.“You shoul

Raphael opened his eyes slowly, blinking up at the sky above. His vision was blurry at first, but when it cleared, all he could see were branches leaning over the edge of a pit. Cold air brushed against his skin, and his whole body felt like it had been hit by a truck.He tried to sit up and winced. His back ached, and his legs hurt even more. He glanced down and realized one ankle was swollen. Definitely twisted, maybe worse. The dirt beneath him was damp and cold, clinging to his clothes. He must’ve been lying there for a while.Right. The fall. He had been running. Everything came back in a slow, bitter wave.He had been running through the forest like a man with nowhere to go and everything to lose. Leaving Bloodveil, leaving Kaya, and Ember.Raphael let out a shaky breath and leaned his head back against the wall behind him. His heart didn’t ache like it had when he first saw Ragnar with Kaya, it burned. He hadn’t expected it. He’d always thought there was a chance, no matter how
Alpha’s thirst for Ember Chapter 80
Collin tilted his head towards Stella who was standing by the fire with her arms crossed, the glow danced across her soft features. “Have you ever seen anything finer than that?” he muttered, nudging Darius with his elbow, his eyes locked on her like he hadn’t eaten in days and she was the main course. “Sexy as hell, isn’t she?”Darius smiled but he didn’t say a word.Collin scoffed. “What a waste though. Mated to a scrawny teenage boy who has probably never even seen a woman naked.”Darius gave a lazy shrug and let his gaze wander to the trees. “When are you making your move?”Collin blinked. “On?”“Thorne,” Darius said plainly, his tone shifting. “Before he picks a beta. Once he does, his perimeter and security is going to get tighter. I’m running out of time.”That wiped the grin off Collin’s face. He straightened up, his shoulders rolling as his whole vibe turned serious. “What’s this really about? Why the obsession?”Darius didn’t answer right away. He rubbed the back of his nec
Alpha’s thirst for Ember Chapter 79
The room was quiet as Raphael, Ragnar, Caden, and Luna Zyrah all watched her, like the fate of the world depended on the words sitting heavy on her tongue. Ember swallowed, her throat was tight but she already knew the answer. She’d known it the second Ragnar helped them that night in the woods and from how he treated and protected his sister. But knowing didn’t make it easier.She didn’t want to hurt Raphael, not with the way his eyes were pleading and desperate and full of history she still didn’t understand. He was with Kaya when she had being taken to Thorne’s mansion and he no doubt protected her too.But this wasn’t about comfort or friendship, or even who came first. This was about who Kaya needed now.Ember shifted her gaze slowly, locking eyes with Raphael calmly despite the weight in her chest.“She’ll need someone strong,” she said quietly. “Someone who won’t hesitate in making decisions that’s best for her.”Then she turned to Ragnar.“It should be you. I’m trusting you to
