."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 IRelated chapters

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

Ember I couldn't wrap my head over what Kai said, things like this never happened to him. Kai was the type of boy that shared his things with his friends. Even if his friend did something bad to him, he'd rather keep it to himself to save the friend from getting into trouble. So I was baffled by what he said. "Don't be scared alright? Mommy is here, and you have to promise not to listen to it when it tells you to do bad things alright?" With a gentle tug, I pulled him closer, my eyebrow quivering upward as I rubbed his back in soothing circles. I'm more than worried right now, Kai wasn't old enough to meet his wolf, so how could there possibly be a voice whispering something to him? And to do bad things that is. "Mommy, Kai is hungry and wants a dumpling." He suddenly said, his voice muffled by the fabric I'm wearing. "I will get you dumplings, just stay here and let me change my dress," I said as I sat him on the bed in the room, I quickly took off my dress and threw o

Ember "I thought you were going to a party." I asked Clara who was now walking to where I was with that same astonishment on her face. "I should be asking you that, oh... Wait, now I understand, but you should've told me that you're refusing to come with me because you're actually coming with a date." My brow furrowed as I tried to make sense of Clara's words. I replayed our conversation in my head, I don't remember telling her about a date, in fact I don't have any date, and I'm not even attending the party so what...? "I didn't have a date, and this is the hotel where I'm staying for the time being." I pointed out as she exclaimed loudly, "oh." Then her face suddenly switched, the confusion written on her face a minute ago was gone, now replaced by a brightened face staring at me as she said, "That's great! Because this is actually the party, since you're here, I'm sure you can have a brief glance at the party, you can just show up with me for a few minutes before going

Flashback I rushed into the dining room when I heard Derek's car, I hurriedly arranged the table and cups properly, before taking another spree into the kitchen, I washed my hands and dried them with the hand towels then I hung them back. I smiled, everything was in place, dessert has been made, the cake was baked, and the meal was also prepared. I took a great time that morning grilling the steaks and making sure it was all greasy and a little spicy, just as Derek liked them. His footsteps grew closer, by the time the doorknob twisted and he stepped a foot in, I threw in the air the foil cutout I made shouting… “Welcome back daddy, and happy birth—day” the rest of the words came out almost mechanically as a pair of black heels stepped into the sitting room. Derek stood at 6.2ft tall. His black hair was just like mine, soft and smooth. I'd helped him dry and combed them when I was little. Derek took the hand of the brunette woman behind him and brought her to my side. There w

Ember I don't plan to have any conversation with her as I managed to walk through the little space between us without making any contact with her, even though I'd brushed against the doorway, i prefer that to brushing against her. I was already in the hallway when I heard her footsteps— closer, faster and faster, she was running after me, "Ember..." She called. My eyes turned dark as my jaw clenched, but I kept going without looking back, I don't really want to end up on the headline as a cold blooded murderer, because I know the moment I turned back, I won't be able to control myself, therefore, I keep going, pretending it wasn't her, pretending I'm the only person in the hallway right now, but I underestimated the nerve of the woman. "Ember." She called breathlessly, this time, I felt her quickening her pace, running even faster, her heels clicking on the hallway tiled floor, I felt her closed, and the next second, her hand aiming at my shoulder to pull me back, "Hands off!

Maverick I shouldn't be here tonight, I glanced the watch on my wrist with a straight face as I walked into the party, now it only remained for me to wait for that man. The orchestral was slowly playing in the background, but my eyes didn't leave the watch, why is he taking so damn long! Frowning, I took out my cell phone and put Alex's number on the dial. "Didn't you say he was going to be here in a few minutes? What's taking him so damn long?" "Can you hold for a moment and let me get in contact with him to know what's going on," He said from the other end, putting me on hold. After a few seconds, his voice came through the line again, "He won't be coming tonight, something held him up, I think you should come back now, I've already scheduled another meeting with him in a week time, but I will be the one meeting him, we can't have you strangling him to death.” My brows were tightly knitted together as my fist clenched against the phone, "He should've just said he would

EmberI couldn't think straight, my mind raced with fear, but before I knew what's happening, Mr Nightshade took the boy from Clara's arms and bolted away.I quickly shifted into my human form and sprinted after him. A sleek black car was waiting outside, he put the boy at the back seat as I rushed inside with Clara who was still shaking with fear. The car zoomed away from the hotel and sped into the nearest werewolf owned hospital, he turned off the ignition and jumped out of the car, Kai was now held in my arms as we quickly made for the emergency quarters, but the hospital security officer stopped us from going inside."Please identify yourself before you can go in." Werewolf's establishments were often wary of threats coming to them, so even though there were several pack hospitals around the city where humans could also go for treatment, but supernatural being like werewolf needed their IDs to be allowed an entrance. After all, they couldn't risk the existence of supernatural b

Ember"Kai...?I started slowly, reaching out a hand and touching his forehead, his body remained immobile, and rigid as he continued to stare into blank space.The two unfamiliar irises were vibrantly staring at nothingness."What's going on ..? Clara, whose attention was now caught by Kai's strange behavior, asked as she tried to touch him, but out of nowhere, his hand shot out and shoved Clara away.Clara stumbled back a little, her eyes widening as her mouth flew agape, she stepped back. Not out of surprise, but fear.I immediately rushed to her side and held her shoulder to stabilize her, but her eyes still had that shock in them as she pointed at his eyes. My brows knitted together as I sat her on a chair and walked back to the bed, Kai was still staring into blankness, my eyes were damp now as my lips trembled slightly. "Baby..." I placed my hand on his little shoulder, but the boy who had earlier Been staring into nothingness snapped his eyes to me, then he peeled my hands aw

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

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

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
