Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter thirty two: That night
Maverick“I'm different?” She raised her head up, asking with a broad smile on her lips, she retrieved both her elbows from the bar and held onto the bar to steady herself, I glanced at her, her cheeks were flushed red right now. Ember's different, she'd never know, but she's so different that I knew from the moment I set my eyes on her that night, she doesn't really know what she is, what she's capable of, and I believe It was also applicable to whomever she came across, seeing everyday, just not me. “Yeah, in a special kind of way.” I said opening the fifth bear and bringing the can to my lips, I raised my eyes to stare at her, she looked lost in thought for some moments.“Do you know you're weird right now?” she stated, with a straight face, which showed she really meant that I was weird.“Maybe” I chuckled.“Why did you take my beer? Not fair, you know?” She questioned with a frown after feeling the bar for any available canned beers, which obviously I did take.“You're drunk, y

Ember's povThe next morning.My head was hurting badly when I woke up, stretching my body to set my poor bones in place, I rolled and came nose to nose with Maverick.I almost jumped back with fright, bringing forth another wave of ache throbbing in my head as though Thor's hammer was smashed on my head.I looked down to see Kai in between us, he was fast asleep, and so was his father, they slept almost in the same posture, eye lashes quivering unnoticeably, the man has his arm around my waist, and his other hand under his head, Why was he in my bed? I looked around, it was the same room, nothing different, and yet, this man ended up going to bed with Kai and I? Did anything happen that night? And why can I not remember anything!?I racked my brain for something, even a fragment of anything that might've Happened last night? Did I eventually win? No way, I can imagine myself passing out on the bar.Goodness, I want to hide right now, my face burned hotter, as I averted my gaze and c

Maverick I stepped into my car with a smile on my lips, wondering why she was so obstinate about making food for me, and why does she care what I eat? I already planned on staying at home with them that morning, knowing she wouldn't go unless she did what she promised, she was that kind of person, I'm starting to see that. Earlier that day I already made a call to Alex to inform him that he should meet me at the company instead of the house in contrast to waking up to Emily's call that morning. She wanted me to come to the company, because that man was already there, waiting… I guess Rowan Gray couldn't help his curiosity, I thought with a smile and stepped on the accelerator, then drove out of the house. By the time I arrived at the office, I went straight to my office at the top floor of the company. I bet Rowan Gray must've left now, because no one would wait two hours straight for someone you had a little assurance of their showing up. Opening the door, I smirked with

EmberMy eyes were fixed on the laptop in front of me as I typed all the texts, attached the file and eventually pressed send. Taking a deep breath I stretched on the chair and placed the laptop on the table, I covered my mouth and yawned.“I thought you were going to take forever, I nearly became Elsa here.” Clara retorted.“Oh, please, I was only on the laptop for a few minutes.” “You called that some minutes!?” She raised an eyebrow pulling Kai who was sitting on her laps into her chest and kissed his forehead. “Okay… Maybe about an hour. Now you have it, stop nagging like an old lady.” She scoffed, “Now I'm an old lady? I mean you literally pulled me from the comfort of my bed, having a nice afternoon dream about Hawaii and have me behind wheels for over an hour to a place I nearly got lost, even with the maps and navigator!” She dramatically yelled and rolled her eyes.“Thank you.” I said for the tenths time that day with exhaustion, she had me saying that everytime she broug

Maverick“Let… go… you mons—ter” he fought for breath as he tried to peel my hands which tightened against his neck off, his eyes were bloodshot red as his chest heaved, he was convulsing, veins had popped out of his forehead. I couldn't focus on anything at that moment other than strangling him to suffocation, I could feel my consciousness slipping away from me, I'm giving in, I'm slipping away, I'm losing control of him, which could be really bad, not only for Rowan, but also me.“St…op” His cries were like a solace to my ear, his pleas were like peace.My claws extended, digging into his neck, drawing out blood, he desperately clawed at my hands, as though that would make me leave him, but his claw marks kept healing upon infliction, just like trying to stab a water, nothing but a futile attempt.“Plea...se” he pleaded with an almost depleted breath. He was completely distrustful, as though fogs were slipping over him, clouding his senses until he could no longer claw at my hands

MaverickMy car pulled over at the driveway, I turned off the ignition, removed my keys, it took me a few minutes to stepped out of the car, I had delayed the process deliberately, I was a little frustrated that afternoon, I leaned against the car, basking in the scorching sunlight, not because I like the heat, but I felt like staying in it that afternoon would at least burn off that temper, melt down that inferno burning inside of me. My mind trailed back to what happened in the office, with Rowan staring at me as if he knew me whole, I lost control, and it was even more bothersome because I hadn't lost control in ages, I've always managed to cling unto that shred of sanity, cling unto that tiny spec of light, in that infinite darkness, that was swelling within me, threatening to swallow me whole.I wondered how much he knew… how much he knew to gain such confidence, or could it be nothing but a bluff? After all a dying man would clutch at a straw, however, what if he truly knew som

Maverick“What are you doing here!” I raised my voice at her this time. There was something distorted about her smile, and within my expectations, she didn't respond to me, nor did she say anything after those words.She glanced nonchalantly at me, and raised the knife to her lips, licking it to the tip, all while looking at me. She smiled and licked her lips afterwards, “At least be nice to your wife, won't you?” She repeated yet again, and that was when I realized something, aside from the aroma from the half eaten food, the apple didn't have any smell whatsoever, after all, apple do have this mouthwatering smell that makes you crave for one, but This woman before me had repeated the same actions, same words, and I knew if I were to ask what she was doing here, she's going to repeat that same words.I advanced towards her and inquired, “Alexandra, where are you?” She clasped her hands together and smiled, too broadly, almost eerie, “I knew you'd figured it out. And for your questi

EmberWith Clara gone, everywhere became silent, and boring, i have my eyes staring into the ceiling, reminiscing over what had happened in the past few years, it was just a few days ago when I was in Florida with Lyra, I was suddenly back here again in Arizona,A place I had begun my life, and the place everything came crashing down, everything I've ever cherished, loved, has. Truly, when you're alone you reminisce over everything, your mind will keep bringing them to you even if you don't want to. But what I couldn't understand was why Astrid would betray Derek that way. My mind flashed back to the time we spent together, the way Derek had loved her, even that day.FlashbackEntered into the house with my school bag slung on my shoulder. Certainly, Astrid must have made lunch, a bright smile plastered on my face, she's the best step mom one could ever wish for. Putting my phone on the dining, the last thing I need that afternoon is distraction, I've got plenty assignments to work

Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter eighty: Never the killer
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
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
