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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
