Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter one: First encounter
Ember I stepped into the High Moon Pack house, that night, the full moon was hanging low in the sky. My face was exceptionally filled with a bright smile because my mate, Rowan Gray, would finally claim me as his tonight, unlike most wolves, I didn't met my mate when I turned eighteen, it was after I turned twenty that I knew that Rowan Gray, the son of Alpha Hudson Gray, my packs Alpha was my mate. And our love, ever since has been proceeding greatly, even though he hasn't marked me, but tonight is going to be the night, I will finally wear his mark. For this reason, my face was brimming with a bright smile. I opened the door to his room, searching for him, just like I always did, but instead of finding him sitting on his desk working on the paperwork, or resting on his bed like he mostly does, my eyes landed on a scene that made my heart shatter into a million pieces. Before me was Rowan Gray, on the bed naked, and was passionately indulging another woman, they were so engross

Ember His angular facial feature was hidden under the red and blue light making him look more mysterious and unpredictable. "Bunny.." His low voice was husky and deep, sounding as seductive as not his straight face. "Let go." I sneered coldly. However, his silence was a fuel to my already burning rage. "Let go, you bastard!" I banged my fists on his chest for a good amount of time, but he doesn't budge which angers me more. "You asshole Rowan!! Why won't you just let me rest, why have you come after me again? I ran from you, why won't you just fucking stop!" Fresh tears spilled out my face as I vent my anger on him, but he didn't stop me, instead he let me do it. I rolled my eyes and effortlessly pushed him back, his grip on my waist releasing on their own accord. My hands blindly moved about as it touched what I was looking for, I grabbed a bottle of wine on the table next to me, and handed it to him, "Open it for me." I wasn't expecting him to take the wine, but in

Four years later Ember Maybe I didn't die, but a part of me did. I smiled warmly as I stirred the pot of stew, the aroma filling the kitchen. A boy about three years old burst into the kitchen, his little face scrunched up in a pout. He rushed to me, his chubby legs moving as fast as they could. "Mommy!" he exclaimed, his tiny arms reaching up for me to carry him. That's my son Kai. I scooped him up, spinning him around in a circle before planting a kiss on each cheek. He giggled, his pout has now been forgotten. "Where's Aunty Lyra, sweetie?" I asked, setting him down on the counter. He thought for a moment, his brow was furrowed, then, he shrugged his tiny shoulders and said, "I don't know." "Then who bring you back?" He spread his little hands and said, "I walked by myself." Of course he did, I could hear the sound of the door opening. It was undoubtedly Lyra. I mean my son walked from the grocery store back home, what an expert he was. I pinched his cheek

Maverick I had just stepped out of the restroom when my cell phone buzzed. Taking it in my hand, I answered the call. “Yes, what's the update?” I asked Alex, my assistant. “Sir, I’ve made contact, and there are already submissions coming in. He’d like you to see them yourself,” Alex said. “Good. I’ll check them right away. And arrange my flight; I’ll be heading back today.” I hung up and turned to leave, but that was when I noticed a little boy, no more than three years old, with curly black hair and golden eyes, staring up at me and hugging my leg with his tiny arms. I couldn’t help but smile. “Hey there, little guy,” I said, planning to ask if he was lost. I felt a strange sense of familiarity with him. Before I could say anything more, a woman rushed into the hallway, her eyes frantically scanning until they found the child—then, they found me. Her expression shifted from worry to shock as she froze, her beautiful dark eyes locked on mine. My heart skipped a beat in that mom

Ember I didn't wait any minute before hugging Kai even tighter to myself and fled the place. I could feel his burning gaze on me, until I entered into the taxi and it drove away from the company. By the time I arrived at silver fang pack it was almost afternoon, I head directly to the pack estate where I lived with Lyra, Alpha Jordan and some of the omegas in the pack, I entered and plopped myself on the couch, Something smells delicious, and judging by the aroma from the food coming from the kitchen, it could only mean one thing. I stood at the kitchen entrance for sometime, Lyra whipped her head to look at me the moment she noticed I was there. Her hair had now been styled beautifully, her eyes were also shining brightly, the woman had put enough effort into looking more beautiful. "Where is he?" I asked looking around as I released Kai hand so he would go and play with his friends in the estate. "How did you know he has already arrived?" She raised her eyebrows as sh

I woke up the next day and quickly prepared myself to go to the company. Fortunately, Alpha Jordan wanted Kai to stay with him, since he'll be at home all day with Lyra. Just that I was a little nervous to run into that man again, I don't think I can hide from him, most especially those piercing golden eyes staring into my black ones as if searching for the truth. Furthermore, there was even this dangerous feeling I got from him when I was close to him that day, my senses were yelling at me to run, but there was also this allure too. Pushing my hair backward, I packed it and applied gloss on my lips before grabbing my bag. Alpha Jordans Beta, Chris, will be taking me that morning. I slipped into the car as it drove away from the estate. In no time we were already in the company, "Thank you so much for the ride, you don't have to wait for me, I might take a lot later, so I'll be taking a cab back." "Alright." He nodded and drove away. I also walked into the company before

Ember."Bunny." It was that same nickname I told him I hated a lot, however I had to be professional at this instance, and looking around, we were surrounded by workers, so I'm sure he wouldn't try anything funny with me. His black shirt had two buttons undone, and his black hair was styled differently today, "It's fancy running into you here." He stretched his pocketed hand for a handshake which I took.His hand was cold, but I kept my composure as I took back my hand from his and replied with a smile, "Of course it was." I'm not really sure about that because with him here, I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.Who would believe we're running into each other? but I just couldn't get what he wanted with all of this so I asked, "Are you also a worker here?" He laughed and suddenly stopped, "No, I just came to check things, but it was such a coincidence to run into you here. A good one I

Maverick I stood by the window, gazing out at the garden downward as I sensed someone's presence behind me, his steps was drawing closer, I turned to look at the person. "Ryder," My face gather up a frown. Alex would have to answer why this man was allowed in my house, "Good to see you, Maverick, It's been a while." He grinned. "What brings you here?" I asked curtly, shifting my gaze back to the window. I didn't want to get into small talk. At least not with this one. I heard him exhaled and plopped himself into my sofa, "Not even a drink?" Seeing I didn't reply, he began to say, "Well I'm just worried about your latest venture, I mean weren't you putting a lot on the line?" My gut tightened, as my jaw clenched in irritation. Ryder was one of the few people I could call acquaintances, considering we've known each other for a while now, and I've known him enough to knew he wasn't here for a chitchat. "I believe what I do wasn't any of your business, " "Maverick, ev

EmberI stood there, heart racing, as Astrid appeared in the doorway. The moment she saw me, her brow furrowed, a frown settling across her face. She clutched her round belly as if it could shield her from whatever she was feeling. There was a tension in the air, with a mix of worry and something else I couldn't quite decipher at that moment.Astrid’s hand paused on the door, ready to slam it shut, but I stepped in her way. Her glare could have burned a hole through me.“What are you doing here?” she shot back.“I’m not here because I want to be,” I said, keeping my voice calm. “If I’d known it was your place, I would’ve turned around. But since I’m here, I need answers. What happened four years ago?”The silence between us was heavy with unspoken words. I could see the conflict in her eyes—anger mixed with something deeper. However I wasn’t about to back down; I needed to know, I didn't came all the way here to be slammed the door upon on, all my prejudice against her was temporarily
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter seventy nine: Unknown father
EmberI threw two dresses into the mini box, grabbed a few necessities, and finally took my spare toothbrush, just in case. After zipping it up, I carried it out. Lyra was solemnly wiping Kai's body with a wet towel. I exhaled. I can't back away now—I have to go. I walked up to his side and crouched next to him. “Mommy, is that you?” His little fingers landed on my cheeks, and with all my strength, I pressed back my sobs, whispering in a broken voice, “Yes, baby, it's your mommy.” “Lyra said you're going to be back soon.” He took a short pause, blinking rapidly as he stared at my face before eventually asking, “Are you leaving me alone?” “No, baby, I would never do that. The thing is, Mommy has to get you chocolates, a bunch of them.” “I… don’t want chocolates. I only want Mommy.” Streaks of tears ran down my face, and this time I didn’t wipe them off. Instead, I let them flow freely. “I’m sorry, baby… Mommy is really sorry you're going through this. You know what? Mommy
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter seventy eight: In your care
EmberI kept staring at the letter with wide eyed, confused; first I had know idea how this got here, secondly how the heck did the person knew that I wants answers, answers to everything, the gut feeling is gnawing on me, yet I always finds a make believe to rid that thought, just like this letter stated that I wanted answers.But what answers would I probably want? What answers do I really seek? Why can't I say it, why don't I know it. I stared at the address which clearly reads a house in Arizona. Do I really want to do this? Honestly, I have no idea, whatever this is, whatever will come from it, but I folded it and put it back going out of the room to the yard. For some peace and quiet, maybe I could fatten my thoughts and come up with a reasonable plan on how to help my son get better. And maybe I could even go back to Arizona, in contrast to the fact that the man had come all the way from Arizona to Florida to look for me, but since I pushed him away, he definitely must've go
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter seventy seven: All you need to know
EmberAfter Maverick was gone, I couldn't make sense of what's going on. I washed my face in the bathroom, swinging back my hair to get off the water that drenched it, eventually grabbing a towel and wrapped it around my head like a burrito. Exhaling, I walked out of my room to check Lyra's door which was still very much locked, thus has been on lock since the moment she stormed out of my face in the sitting room.I walked into the sitting room to touch Kai's forehead, he was still burning up, but not as hot as he was when I'd come back. He wasn't supposed to get sick again since Lyra got him the herbs that had kept his condition stabilized since we came back to Florida, so I never have to bother about looking for the man, however hearing the news earlier was not only a blow to me, but it makes me even more panicked. And thankfully, having him around for a few seconds reduces the boy's temperature, however, now I can't really tell for sure because he's a little hot now doesn't mean
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter seventy six: Alice
MaverickI had planned tonight to be very colourful and bright so Ember could enjoy it as much as she wants, after having Alex scout around for one of the biggest and beautiful beach around here I had shut down the whole place so we can have all the time— Alone, and I was glad she really came looking stunning in her dress.I had made sure to also reserve the top floor of the restaurant on the island where I hoped we'll spend the night, but she was so curious to know what I have in store, however I was determined to not share it with her.We got off the yacht and made for the building, however her phone rang, but just after the call ended she was trembling. Her face turned so pale that I had to calm her down. She wanted me to follow her, which I did without a second thought. The sound of that boy going sick affected me so much that I yelled at the sailor to get the Yacht moving again.When we got out of the car, I was really surprised to see the familiar environment we're in. Why would

Ember. I glanced back, he caught me staring at the distance and his cold hand grabbed my chin bringing my face to him. “It'll come back.” he casually replied, “Or do you want it back now? Are you feeling cold?” “I'm fine.” I answered rolling my eyes. He was now back to my side. “Okay, when it comes back, we should probably go to the next surprise.” he said, and i understand how awkward this was for him as much as it is for me. “Oh, that…” I trailed off as the heat flushed my face, remembering what we're on to a while ago before the thing about him and Alexandra, “Yeah… other surprises,” I replied non enthusiastically fisting my hair and squeezing out the water that had drenched it. “Are you sure you're not cold?” He asked again drawing closer. “Not yet.” I answered pushing back a little but I underestimated the man as he swiftly followed grabbing my waist, his palm flew to examine my forehead, “it's a good thing you're not catching a cold yet.” “I told you I'm not

EmberWe're staring at each other's faces as though we're in a competition. I thought he was going to say something but he didn't; he just kept staring.Biting my lips, “Do you have a sibling or... ?” I gulped the remaining question down my throat, considering the facts that I never saw him with anyone except Alex. “Only child.” he shrugged so casually. “Don't even ask about the parents... they're no more.”“Oh...” I muttered trailing off, suddenly feeling bad for probing at his wounds. “I shouldn't have asked.”“i said I'm ready to answer your questions didn't I? So go ahead ask any questions and I'll answer.”I searched his face for any traces of lies but found nothing so I licked my lips and asked, “The other day at the rooftop what are you trying to say about Alexandra?”He thought for a while before smacking his lips, “Are you sure you would like to hear that?” he asked again, making me want to know more about why he seemed so hesitant when he'd been the one to bait me in the fi

Ember “So… now that the yacht’s gone, what are we supposed to do?” I asked, glancing around at the wide-open water stretching as far as I could see. “Wait for it, I guess,” he replied, way too casually. “Probably just ran low on gas.” I narrowed my eyes, noting the way he smirked ever so slightly. “Is this some kind of setup? Was this your big surprise?” He chuckled, shaking his head. “Not at all. This was definitely not part of the plan. But look—it’ll come back. We just have to wait.” I shifted uneasily, trying to mask my growing anxiety with humor. “What if we end up living out some kind of real-life Jaws nightmare?” He raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. “Seriously? You’re a werewolf—you’re supposed to be the one scaring off predators.” I rolled my eyes, smirking back. “Yeah, well, if wolves can eat fish, why shouldn’t a shark be able to enjoy some wolf?” He let out a soft laugh, sweeping his dripping hair back. “You’re something else.” I swallowed, glancing back a

“Do you want to take a sit over there over a cup of wine?”“Alcoholic?” I asked the man preparing to say no, there's no way I'm drinking wine that contain alcohol, not after my experiences with alcohol. “Fruity, it's tastes like an alcohol, but it has not even 1% in it, do you want to give it a try?” “No harm in trying.” I chuckled.The Yatch had slowed down now, in the middle of the sea, “Why aren't ships or Yatch other than this one moving anyway?” I asked curiously moving to the swim platform. I was expecting to see Yatch or cruise ships moving around but none, I had noticed at the beach that there were lesser people compared to how crowded beach used to. “The whole place is ours for today, and don't tell me you're dunking your legs in the water in that?” He pointed to my dress.I stared down embarrassed to look at my flowing black gown, I laughed awkwardly, “I will be changing that.” I never thought about that sincerely.“You should, there's a lot to choose from in the first se
