Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter eighteen: proportioned figure
Ember. The man's eyes widened, he was staring at me with surprise he couldn't quite conceal, I mean who wouldn't be surprised to have a woman showing up at their door at this hour of the night.He stood tall, his broad shoulders filling the doorway, his hand was still hung on the door knob as he kept staring, my gaze involuntary flew to his waist and I gulped inwardly.I couldn't help but notice his naked abs, this man only had a white towel wrapped around his torso. After all, Proudly displaying his well proportioned figure, while his uncombed damp hair lightly fell on his forehead, his golden eyes fixated on me, as if searching me. "Umm sir, can I crash here tonight?" my voice vibrates in my throat, I feel too embarrassed to say that, my face burned even hotter. I want to dig some space in the earth and hide my whole figure right now.He finally cleared his throat and stepped aside, creating space for us to pass through, Kai was peacefully sleeping in my chest."No problem, you c
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter nineteen: Sharing a bed
I tucked Kai who was still sound asleep in, and quickly went into the bathroom to wash up that day's stress. I feel so exhausted. I stepped in the bathroom, and stripped myself, stepping under the shower. I remained there for a good amount of time, just feeling the cold water running around my body. I wish Derek was alive to tell me something. To comfort me, to tell me that my baby is going to be alright. I should have asked Freya if she had any other ideas, but she went into hibernation as soon as I'm out of the hospital, so no matter how much I tried to communicate with her, it would only come out futile, since she was in deep sleep.Thinking back to the hospital, Clara had left when we were discharged by the doctor. Running into her was a fortune for me, I mean the doctor can't even explain a thing going on with Kai, I can't even bring myself to imagine what it would've been like, if Clara wasn't there, thanks to her I was able to maintain my sanity. I came out of the bathroom a
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter Twenty: Sweet surrender
MaverickI was just about to go to bed, but The knock at the door shattered my late-night reverie, and I hesitated, wondering who'd disturb me at this hour. I took a quick glance at the clock and saw that it was past 1am in the morning. I closed the book I was reading before placing it on the nightstand, i went to open the door. Ember was standing at the door, with her son hugged to her chest, I must admit the nightwear clung to her body, bringing her perfect shape into view.I had only randomly bought it. Now I understood why those ladies at the clothing store were giggling when I had asked them for a nightwear, one of them had disappeared at that time and returned with this. God! This woman was driving me insane for showing up looking this sexy, is she not aware how seductive she looked right now?I had to press back my desire to pull her inside my room, kiss those lips till they were sore, and do good, sinful things to her body.But for some unknown reason, there was something
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter Twenty one: Far more dangerous
Ember What is this man talking about, does he seriously think Rowan was the father of Kai? I should be relieved that he hadn't found out the boy was his, however, I still felt a pang in my chest, at the very least shouldn't he have thought of the possibility that Kai might be his? What am I thinking about? Why do I want him to care anyway? When I'm definitely nothing in his eyes other than that one night stand, and I'd like it to remain like that, less I risk my son being taken away from me. I turned to look at him, “You're talking about that man right? If yes? He isn't the father of my child, can I go now?” I'm certain that he's talking about Rowan, so I cut to the chase immediately. It would've been easier to declare Rowan as Kai's father, but I'm never doing that. “Not yet, would you at least say where he is? I mean how irresponsible of him, his son was out sick in the hospital and he didn't even show his face!” “He wasn't here because he enlisted in Alpha training.” I
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter Twenty two: Am I in trouble?
Ember My heart thumped at her words, didn't he say this woman was his gardener, but why do I feel like she knew things, things I could never have imagined as she had stated. A shiver ran down my spine at her words, and this time I couldn't muster a smile knowing well that I couldn't deny catching the dangerous signs over time, but the impression that he was a kind person had erased that thought. However, now that it was being uprooted by Mariam who had nonchalantly resumed plucking the leaves, I couldn't help touching her arm, her gaze thereby turned to me frowning, “Tell me, what do you mean by he's dangerous… please tell me something, do not keep me in the dark.” “Who am I? I'm just his gardener not his human diary, even though I've been working for him more than twenty years I had forgotten a lot of things, which is normal for people my age… but if anything, young wolf, he's like a flame, and you're like a moth, I believe I don't have to tell you about moth to flame.” My h

Maverick. I stepped out of the car and walked to the entrance of the company before me. Alex followed closely behind me with some documents he brought with him. “She slept in your home” I heard his voice behind me, as he walked faster, trying to catch my pace. “Yes, you got anything with that?” “No… it's just that, even though you were all over her, I just think it'll go away in a fickle time as always, but I've never seen you bring a woman to your home, well except Alexan…” I halted, my mind slamming on the brakes. turning to look at him. Realization dawning on him, the words died on his lips, and I knew he regretted bringing that up, he knew well not to mention her, although he almost did, but yet…“ Know the choices of your words,” I bellowed angrily. “Alright, Mr Nightshade.” he nodded hastily, as I turned and started walking away. The moment I stepped into the office, the room fell silent, and the receptionist's gaze snapped up from her computer screen. “Boss–” sh
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter Twenty four: A dark place
I ran myself a cold shower, deliberately staying under the shower for quite some time, not to catch a cold– but to cool my growing hot head down and calm my nerves that were rising with each passing second. I signed, replaying Hudson's words in my head as I stepped out of the bathroom with a white towel wrapped around my body. Flash back“It's okay— and one more thing, I learned from Rowan Gray that another man was involved aside from him.” “What's about him Mr Hudson?” “Well according to what Alpha Rowan Gray had told me, we have to make sure he's not a potential threat,”Does this man also know something about him? But if anything I will not give him out so I asked with a smile, “What are you implying Mr Hudson?”“What I'm trying to say is that, I want to know your relationship with him, although he didn't reveal much—but I know he wanted me to hand the matter over to the association, which might require your appearance later,”I knew this game, he was trying to push the words i
Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter Twenty five: I don't have a daddy
MaverickI left the office later in the afternoon, I knew Ember must already be at the estate, so I drove there directly. I had Alex stay at the company to look after some minor deals.As I arrived, I parked my car and stepped out, before heading towards the estate.“Good afternoon, Mr Nightshade” the workers greeted.I hummed, not interested in replying to them, but It was then that I heard a tiny voice exclaim from the other side of the room. “I know you.”My eyes turned in his direction. He was wearing a black trousers and a blue Mickey mouse shirt. He sat comfortably on the red sofa with his legs crossed together, I couldn't help but notice his amber eyes were much deeper now.I found myself going to his side, “Why are you sitting here alone and where is your mommy?” I asked him first, looking around.“Mommy asked me to wait here for her, she said she's not going to take a lot of time.” he said, fiddling with his shirt.I nodded at his response, looking at his occasionally poutin

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

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

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
