Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter forty eight: Hold me, please.
MaverickI pulled on my shirt as that evening, picking a book from the nightstand, I sat on the couch and begin to read with my legs crossed, I tried to focus, but I'd flipped book to the next page only to flip it back because I couldn't get anything in at that moment which is totally unlikely of me. Could it be the book? I returned it to the nightstand taking another volume I hadn't read before but it was the same result. Frustrated. I put it back and went out of the room, climbing down the stairs to the sitting room. The house was unusually quiet that evening.What do I mean by it was quiet? It has always been quiet because I prefer calmness and tranquility, But something feels so distant about this quietness, it's not the type of calmness I like at that moment. My eyes went to the kitchen, I walked down to the kitchen and entered, going to the fridge I saw the rest of the food in the container, still preserved, I took out a container and looked at the paper pasted on it. “Cute.
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter forty nine: All over her
Maverick And just as she demanded I wrapped my hands around her back holding her close to my chest and she held my torso burying her face in my chest, I could hear her heartbeat, feel her shuddering breaths, her muffled sobs, and her trembling fingers that rested on my torso. What could be bothering her? I can't tell of course, which makes me hate the fact that I had locked my other part away, in the light that I can easily get into her head and see whatever had turned her to this state. We were like that for several minutes until she slowly unwrapped her hands from my torso and walked out of the bathroom, naked. “You'll find new towels in the wardrobe.” I said to her, she didn't respond—not that I expected her to anyway. I stayed under the shower for some time, giving her the space she might need to collect herself. I took off my wet shirt and trousers, threw them into the laundry, before grabbing a gray towel and wrapped it around my torso. I closed the bathroom door beh
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter fifty: Liar
MaverickEmber's gaze dropped to the floor, her shoulders curling inward. My eyes however remained fixed on her,The sounds humming from the TV right then was the only reminder that the world outside these walls still existed.She exhaled with her eyelids fluttering closed. But the tears managed to squeezed out of her eyes, “He was my everything, my father, my closest friend— all his life was dedicated into watching me grow, listened to my bantering and at the end offer his words of comfort— Derek's like that, yet that one time that he needs me… he was right there in his own blood, and I'm out drinking as if the world is about to come to an end because of that scumbag.” Her last sentences came out between gritted teeths. Now I has a clearer understanding of what is happening with her, taken into account that I'd have Alex investigate Rowan Gray sometime back after his fight with Ember in the hallway I couldn't help getting curious about what's it between them only to find out he was
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter fifty one: The feel of her
MaverickShe met Alexandra? I thought as much because I was never convinced she just left the other day, but since she said she came back with her friend, I didn't think about the fact that she might've met Alexandra. Is Ember jealous of Alexandra? It never occurred to me that she… I could have joked with her on a normal day, but right now, I don't have the mind to tease her. “It's all a misunderstanding…” I brushed my fingers through my hair, shoving them back almost forcefully.“Don't deny it… you have a wife, don't you?” Seeing I didn't reply, She smiled and tried to stand up, “Stay, you'll fall if you stand up” I explained to her, even though I doubt she wanted any right now.“Listen Ember… it's just more complicated than you think, and yes, at some point, I'm married to her… but now it's just…” I stopped talking, finding it hard to complete the statement. Even though she was being driven by the alcohol, I can't bring myself to lie to her.“It's okay.” She smiles, “but can you
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter fifty two: Consumed
MaverickShe arched her back and moaned in my mouth, her hands found their way to the back of my head again as she pressed my head to her breast, encouraging me to sucked them faster.She threw her head back the moment my free hand went to her other breast flickering her nipple before kneading it gently, eliciting another sweet moan from her lips.“Do you like that?” I asked, biting on her nipple, stopping to look at her reaction.She hissed with dissatisfaction as she straddle her legs around my waist, pressing my head back to her breast while grinding impatiently on me. I took her left nipple this time, licked on it while I pinched on the other which caused a jolt of electricity from her.Seeing the expected reaction from her, I incessantly fondled her chest and she subconsciously pressed herself forward. Contrary to my expectations, I feel her desires and longing becoming more and more intense. As if she urgently needed to alleviate the aching of her body.However, l refused to
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter fifty three: Forever
Maverick“What are you doing in my house?” I asked, my expression was darkening over, it was her I want to forget, to say nothing of seeing, and here she is in front of me nonchalantly peeling and eating an apple as if she was in her home.It was exactly like that realistic projection from the other day, however, today's own was different as I could hear her heartbeat which confirms she's was really here, She didn't reply immediately, instead she pouted, and bit on the apple, chewing slowly before gulping it down with her eyes closed and a sultry moan escaped her lips.“Nothing honey, I just feel I'd stop by, considering the fact it has been a long time we've seen each other and I believe it's a normal thing if I missed you.” “Look Alexandra, even with all the camouflage you'd put up, I know it's you.” No woman would show up in my home, licking apple juice with her tongue and moaning shamelessly. “You don't have any right to be here, so I want you off my home at this instant.” She
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter fifty four: She's gone
FlashbackMaverickI slung on my pullover, zipping it down, my hands in both pocket as I walked; no escape is the right words, escaping from reality, from everything, it feels suffocating, and wandering about for days helped no shits, the harsh weather of the winter felt nothing but a normal day to me, no coldness could get to the inferno coursing through my veins, threatening to burst out anytime like a ticking time bomb.My stomach growls in hunger, in the light that it has been over a week that I'd been walking, no, wandering aimlessly, like clouds without rest and without having anything that is. “Hey kiddo! Look where you're going if you wanna die, just do it elsewhere, not In Front of my car! Fucking shits.” A driver yelled at me pulling me out of my trance as I glared at the car which has already drove away. Averting my gaze from it, I could feel it raging in my bones, wanting to bursts out and give the car a chase grabbed him and pulled him out of the car, and eventually pr
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter fifty five: Ghost
Maverick Slamming my hand on the wheel, I growled facepalming myself and sighing loudly. Just why would she run away without any notice? It's pretty understandable, I mean I would feel the same if I woke up to meet Alexandra, and considering the woman's personality, I knew her enough to understand exactly what she's capable of. The shrill sounds of my phone ringing cut through the silence, I huffed and reached to it, glancing at the screen, the non enthusiastic expression on my face was written off immediately when I saw the name displaying on it, my expression transforming from annoyance to urgency. “Have you gotten any leads about her yet?” I asked impatiently, waiting for Alex to confirm it so I could drive there immediately. “Are you sure she disappeared this morning?” “Why would I say otherwise?” I growled with frustration. “I know… just that it's kind of strange how I couldn't find any traces of her just like four years ago. I tapped into almost every surveillance

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 at the empty horiz

“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
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter seventy one: Wanting more
Ember I thought I will be able to pull this off successfully, however I'm not so very confident right now.I was wondering what it'll be like with him for the first time as not a business partner… om that topic, what are we really? Logically, he admitted taking a likeness to me, and I might've like him too… no, I likes him too.God's I couldn't even tell exactly when that happens. Inhaling, and exhaling. The sand was cool beneath my feet as I stepped onto the beach. A handful of people were at the shoreline, their voices mingling with the distant crash of waves. My eyes scanned the place, searching for him but there was no sign of him, even though he'd texted he will be here at 6pm, and I'd done a good job spending extra minutes at home to not appear overly excited and too over the date with him, in the end i was still the first to get here.However, my search was set aside when I caught a glimpse of a white yacht anchored a little further out,It was beautiful, I admit, but when
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter seventy: Risk
Ember“Ember, hurry up and get out here! We’re starving!” Lyra’s voice rang out from the dining table, teasing but loud enough to make her point.I could almost see her rolling her eyes, a little grin tugged at my lips as I called back, “On my way!”I arranged the dishes on the tray, carrying them to the dining table, where Lyra and Kai were already seated.As I entered, Lyra’s gaze swept over me, and she let out an exaggerated sigh. “Finally,” she muttered, rolling her eyes, her voice filled with drama as she continued sarcastically, “We were this close to death.” she indicated with her fingertips.“Oh please, Lyra,” I growled playfully.Just then, Alpha Jordan walked closer, glancing at her with a raised eyebrow. “What’s going on?”Lyra shot me a mischievous look before turning to him. “It’s Ember,” she said, grinning. “She’s been holed up in the kitchen, smiling like an idiot. I almost got chills seeing her like that, considering how cold she’s been lately.”Alpha Jordan chuckled
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter sixty nine: Let them look
MaverickShe broke into a scream as I held her in my arms and leaped off the building. But her palms quickly covered her mouth, muffling the sound when she realized she was safe. We glided through the air until our feet touched the ground, thankfully no one was paying attention to the building, so I was sure no one saw.“That’s insane! You should’ve warned me or something.” She frowned, folding her arms as she walked away.I quickened my pace to catch up. “Did I scare you?” I reached for her hand to slow her down, but she stayed silent, ignoring me completely.Was she upset? I know I shouldn't have done that, she must've been taken off guard, thus leading to her annoyance. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that… I’m really sorry.” I apologized, reaching for her arm.But I was stunned when she suddenly burst out laughing, giving me a playful shove. “You’re apologizing? I was only pretending! Honestly, that was wild—and amazing too, I must admit. I mean, we were practically flying!” She
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter sixty eight: Suffocation
PresentEmber“So, she wasn't lying when she said you're married?” tilting my head, I asked curiously. Honestly, I wanted to know more, even though I knew I shouldn’t be asking. I shouldn’t be digging into his past, but a part of me still wanted to know.“Yes... she didn't lie. But you have to trust me; I don’t have anything to do with her anymore.”“I guess.”“Yeah…” he replied, and then silence filled the air between us—heavy, almost to the point of suffocation.I lay back on the concrete floor beside him, my hand nearly touching his. I eventually tucked it behind my head, mirroring his posture.We just looked at the sky, feeling the breeze brush our faces—soothing, calming. This was exactly why I loved coming here to clear my head when I felt overwhelmed.I couldn’t help but ask myself at that moment, ‘Do I really deserve happiness? Do I deserve to be happy, to experience it again?’Lyra wanted me to be happy, Alpha Jordan wanted that too, and I’m sure if Derek were alive, he would
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter sixty seven: Addiction
MaverickFlashbackI exploded, bolting out of the cabin. The consuming rage burned through my veins like wildfire, eating everything it touched—my reasoning, my thoughts—clouding them like a fog in the woods, wrapping everything in its misty embrace. The trees blurred together as I sprinted into the forest, my heart pounding in my chest as if it wanted to burst out and escape from me.But the voice whispering in my head to turn back, to wrap my hands around her throat. Make her pay didn't stop.I had never felt anything like this before. I had never stopped from killing my prey for someone, and she made it possible.That thought alone infuriated me—him rather, the rampaging untamed beast within me. He wanted out so he could go back and kill her, along with Mariam or whatever she might have called the lady whom she stopped me from killing.I clenched my fists so hard that my nails dug into my palms. No, no, no. Not again.For the second time that day, I wrestled with the monster inside
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter sixty six: Try me
Ember Maverick's unexpected words knocked the wind out of me. I sat there, paralyzed, my hand was still firmly locked in his grasp. “If it was just a one-night thing-” he said, his voice barely above whisper, “-would I have dropped everything and come here to Arizona just to see you?” He exhaled and continued, “You kept running every single time, leaving me worried and distressed. Don’t even try to pretend you haven’t felt this between us.” His gaze held mine, intense and unrelenting, making my palms grow sweaty, even under the chill of the wind up here. My heart raced and my pulse pounded in my neck. My voice was stuck in my throat, unable to form words. His thumb traced gentle circles on my palm, sending shivers down my spine. It was a tender touch, but with an undercurrent of possessiveness. I should have pushed him away and run, but his words were compelling, believable. Talking in that tone, he was doing it again, giving me false hope—helplessly and relentlessly breaking thr
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter sixty five: Lose my mind
EmberHe came for me? As much as that would've been a response I wanted, however it annoys me more that this man, regardless of having a wife, still comes to look for me, and still boldly claims that he was here for me. I shouldn't be surprised, provided that I've had such terrible luck with men— even the fated one by the moon goddess had given me nothing but betrayal and heartache.I stepped out of the studio passageway, craving some fresh air and space to clear my head. I made for the stairs, my mind was occupied by my growing thoughts as I descended, each step was nothing but a deliberate escape from the tension lingering after me, But then I heard his footsteps behind me, and my gut twisted into knots. I quickened my pace, not ready to face him yet. And I'm glad he didn't say anything as he would've done on a normal day. And sincerely, his silence is much appreciated right now.I stepped outside, letting the city swallow me whole, My eyes flew to the towering ten storey buildin
