Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption Chapter thirty eight: An inch close to her
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

Ember“Are you here to see someone?” I asked, eyeing the man, walking closer to him.“Why are you stopping the boy from coming closer?” He curled an eyebrow.“Oh” realization hit me when I realized I was holding Kai back from going to him. Thinking about it— I know I shouldn't, he's his father after all.I should probably find the right time to tell him about Kai in the future, he deserves to know. Even though he might reject him, I will be totally okay with that. And I really hope that when that day comes, I'll be able to go back to Florida with my son, with every memory wiped from my brain, forgotten. And Kai's condition stabilized, I would never wish for more.I put him down to his feet and saw him run the little distance between us to him, hugging his leg, “ Uncle.” He beamed, looking up with excitement.Maverick lifted him up and twirled him in the air, the boy screamed, attracting the attention of onlookers, “Yay….”“People are staring.” “Let them look.” He interjected, and ca

Clara “Can you please repeat what you said just now, miss?” His voice echoed, deepening the frown on my face.“I said your future marriage will be so complicated! And I think the issue might just be your personality. I think anyone who would marry you must put a lot on the line, especially their mental health.” I emphasized on the mental health, smiling with satisfaction after seeing the expected reaction from his face. Now I realized how delighted and fulfilled those villainess felt after accomplishing their desires.The man's face gathered up clouds, but I underestimated the man as the clouds soon dissipated into nothingness, replaced by a bright, exceptionally bright glowing smile, he crossed his legs, “Is that so? And just a few days ago I thought you were among them, aren't you like obsessed with me when we first met, Mrs tarot?” he stated picking up a pen.He hit a nerve. “And once again, I'm not a Mrs! And fucking not a tarot reader, I'm a palm reader, how long do I have to r

Ember I rummaged through my bag, searching for what to wear. With him gone now, I was starting to regret my decision. I should have rejected it to the very end when he asked, instead of agreeing to go out with someone else's man. I scowled at my luggage, rummaging through the mess. What possessed me to pack this...thing? I groaned looking at the lemon-green dress with a floral pattern, what was I thinking when I bought it anyway? Because right now it looked like what I borrowed from my aunt's thrift store? As if I have any. I shoved it back and brought out a nude coloured dress with a slit at its front, sleeveless, but it looked beautiful, this would do. I ran myself and Kai a shower, he didn't stay long in the bathroom though, but I ended up spending more time with my hair that' I had washed with the shampoos, I throw it down and opened the water again, thoroughly washing it without any place left untouched, I wrapped a towel around myself and walked back into the room. I

EmberHis finger caresses the back of my neck, before sliding gently into my hair, he pulled my head closer, and I leaned in, closed to him, our faces were inches apart at this instance that I could feel his hot breath on me, I know I shouldn't be doing this, but oddly enough, I couldn't wait to press my lips against his. However, “Mommy, I caught a fish but it disappeared.” I was pulled out of the drawn the moment when I heard kai's sulky voice, I almost forgot him for a moment.I awkwardly stepped backward, creating a distance between us, my face heated up with a blush as I tore my gaze away from him to Kai who was reaching out to another fish, he caught it, but instead of it wringing in his hands it unobtrusively passed through him.Thinking about it, he had earlier stated that I should not touch it, because it will only spoil the fun, now it came to me that it was no more than a realistic projection, none of it were there, the water, I couldn't feel it around my body, but there

Maverick I helped Kai peeled the crabs and placed the soft inside into his plate, before picking another one and started peeling. Ember had her eyes on me. I could feel that right from the moment we got here. This place was a very special place to me, I had only come here once, and It was during one of my darkest days, I had randomly come across it, and I couldn't have found anything better. "Please, help yourself," I said, motioning to the spread before us, my voice low and inviting. I could remember how her gaze had lingered on mine for some while, how she hesitated, and her slender fingers drumming against the table. I hadn't expected her to actually come to this place with me. I could even see how her gaze lingered on the menu some while ago, her brow furrowed, darting to the prices. However I wanted to make today as special as I could. "Kai, try the sweet potatoes," I suggested, serving him a portion. "Mmm, Uncle, these are yummy!" Kai exclaimed with a bright smile licki

Ember The scent from it enveloped me, and talking about scent, it wasn't a scent you can smell from werewolves, or supernaturals that have special scent. This one is different, just a normal manly scent that happens to smell really nice. “It's quite cold out here, I figured you might be needing it, so I brought it along.” He said stepping on the accelerator after turning. I nodded, “Yes, it's pretty cold which isn't anything like the hotel.” “That's because around here you can find a lot of waters of any sort, rivers, lakes… and it's an area around woods with low climate. So it's pretty understandable.” He explained with his eyes still on the road. I thought as much, given the circumstances that I had felt the same when we were out that night to get groceries, it was also cold outside of his house that night. He was focused on the front, no cars were passing now, just the gentle hum of the car, the howling miles away and the birds singing their melodious songs and the g

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
