Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter fifty six: Please
EmberI woke up to the sounds of my annoying alarm, god's, it's making my head throb with ache, i groggily dragged myself from the bed, the ache that settled in my head was nowhere near the dull ache in my heart, throbbing every single times I woke up to an empty bed, in this familiar room, on the familiar covers— familiar bed. I can't believe it's over a week already.Every single day, every single time. Nothing but pure torture.I yawned but my hand quickly flew to my forehead, holding as if it would numb the pain I felt in there somehow but I knew better. It has been a week, after doing one thing I cowardly knew how to do best; running in every situation.I never could've thought I would go back to Arizona that soon, but not only do I go back, I got myself entangled with the man from one of my darkest nights. I was broken, sad… gripped by the emotions that flooded my mind, and somehow I went to him in the rain that night, drank, drank till my consciousness slipped away from me, t

Ember Going out of my room to the sitting room, I wasn't wearing a slipper, just my socks, I could hear chatters and giggles from the kitchen, I walked into the kitchen to see Lyra and Alpha Jordan, Kai was sitting on a little chair just right inside the kitchen beside Alpha Jordan. “Mummy.” he squealed, noticing me and get down, running up to meet me I pat his head, walking to the kitchen to Lyra who was busy cooking. “Lazarus wakes.” She mumbled wrapping an omelet into an edible fold and walked towards Alpha Jordan, shoving it in his mouth. “Mmn tastes great.” He praised. “I know.” She smiles proudly, and gives some to Kai. “It's delicious.” I folded my hands leaning against the counter and reminded her “Don’t I get to have any?” “Oh… Ember, my sweet darling, you can have your mouth opened as long as you want, it's just that my food won't be going into your mouth.” “Aw at least be nicer, are you being biased now?” “I'm being as much as I can… I mean it's def

Ember I opened the door to see a familiar face at the door smiling broadly at me. I turned back to look in the direction of the kitchen. I could imagine Lyra feeling proud of herself, does she really think of me as a sadist? And what if she has something important to do right now, but had to come here in respect of Lyra. “Erica… it's good to see you.” I welcomed her with a warm smile, stepping aside and opening the door wider so she would be able to come in. “Boss.” She sat the bag she was holding down then she jumped on me smiling broadly and embracing me tightly, almost to the point of suffocation. “I've told you a lot of times it's Ember.” I rolled my eyes pulling back and closing the door behind her, she grabbed her bag hurriedly walking behind me. “I wasn't expecting it to be you.” I started fluffing a chair pillow and eventually sitting down, with the pillow pressed on my laps. “Hi Lyra.” She calls, staring at the kitchen door. “How are you doing my sweet Erica?

Ember Packing my hair in a loose ponytail I applied red lipstick, I wasn't much of a fan of red, but that should do for today. Grabbing a jacket for myself I slipped it on the crop top I wore, and smoothing it out. I picked my phone from the dresser, tapping and looking at the screen to see it was almost 8pm, slipping it at the back of my pocket. I looked around for something I missed. Everything checked, taking one more look at myself, I was about to go out of the room when my eye caught the artificial snowing mini rose gifted to me by Erica, a sigh escaped my lips, and talking about Erica, she left a while ago insisting I attend her birthday party, left with no choice I was dressing to go there. She said it'll be celebrated in some pubs, although I don't exactly have any good memories in a pub, or good at drinking. But it's her birthday, and she wanted me there. “Going already?” Lyra looked up from the laptop in front of her, she had a pair of glasses on, yeah I know what you

EmberThe movements stopped right behind the car, even as a Werewolf I knew the phrase; better late than sorry was just as right. I knew whatever was behind my car wasn't human.Stepping on the accelerator, I took a quick turn, before zooming away, but through the side mirror, I could see the silhouette of a man, standing there, looking at my car which was driving away, he didn't give it a chase, instead he only remained there. And by everything possible, I could swear I saw it smile.I drove straight to the estate, still feeling a little disturbed by the earlier occurrence. My mind couldn't stop going back to how it makes my skin prickle with unease.. and the eerie smile plastered on his lips. Pulling over in the garage, I came out of the car, took a deep long breath before pulling Erica out of the back seat. She doesn't feel heavy for me to carry, so I was able to get her inside successfully.“I apologized . I have to request this, but please can Erica stay the night.” I said in a

EmberHe was still standing there in the darkness, smiling creepily at me. I automatically closed the library door back, I looked through the glass door to see he was no longer there, just like a thin smoke vanishing into thin air without any traces.I must be imagining it right? It might be due to not being in the best state of mind recently.I tried to calm myself down, walking up to be bookseller, an old man with full gray hair.“Good evening sir,” I forced a smile, occasionally glancing back to confirm if he was no longer there, “Good evening young lady, what would you like to buy?”“New moon, Stephanie Mayer, are there any copies left?” I asked.“Yes young lady, go down this section, take a turn by your first right, you can see it on the shelf with number 9.” He said smiling.“Okay sir.” I did as he sold me, walking down and taking a turn by my right, and sitting ahead was the number nine shelf. I walked up to it and saw there were a lot of copies there, all new. I took one out

EmberI looked around for any possible exit, but there were none, what sort of trouble is this? Erica was still very much trembling behind me, and before me were sneering Lycan rogues who I have no idea how they knew me and apparently are trying to capture me, according to the order from the one who had just left the room.They were sneering, even more joking at my current situation.“Just surrender yourself sweetie, one against five, are you kidding me or yourself?” The tall man grins.“I’d advise you to let us go right now, my pack is nearer. It might still be one against five right now, but once I contact them it'll be five against hundreds.” I threatened, it would've been easier if I was able to connect with the pack at this instance, but I knew it'll be impossible, I'm not an official member, I just lived with them… not sworn in as a member!“Haha… why not try the so-called communication and see if it'll work? Listen up, step aside so we can finish up that bitch behind you, befor

MaverickHaving been told by Clara that Ember wasn't at her place, I knew there's only one place she could be, that one place she's been hiding for the past four years. Florida. The place where we had our second encounter. I knew I had a lot of explaining to do when I finally saw her, but for now, let's go get her first, I start the car, and with a reverse I drive straight to my house so I can prepare the things I will be needing and to make sure Alexandra's gone.After driving for an hour, I finally pulled over in front of the house, stepping out, I shut the car door making for the door when I saw Mariam walk over, I glanced at my phone to see it was already past her working hours.“Welcome back boss.”“You aren't gone yet?” “Yes… actually I got a message to deliver to you.”“Let it wait, I have to be somewhere right now.” I said to her walking towards the house but her voice halts me on my steps.“Not yet, a person came looking for you.” She said,I turned back to her immediately

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

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
