Orion's POV

When I woke up, everything felt foggy to me. My head was spinning and there was a steady throb at the back of my skull. Every time I moved, it felt like my brain was being scrambled and juggled around by some circus freak.

I groaned as I moved to stretch, that's when my hand hit a body. I froze when I did and immediately concluded that it was a figment of my imagination. There was no way there was any other person in this bed.

I remembered clearly that Kaia had left, she had stormed out of the room in anger, or had I imagined it? I turned slowly toward the ruffled sheets and I saw her face, Hope's face. I shrieked and gasped, my breath clogging in my throat.

No, this can't be happening. She isn't really real, no, no. I closed my eyes, my heart pounding faster than my thoughts, maybe if I just closed and opened, I wouldn't see her again.

I would see only the ruffled sheets from me sleeping peacefully last night caused by a reckless sleep and nothing else. My eyes slowly pa

  • EMBERS OF REVENGE   Chapter 25: A chance

    Hope’s POV“What the fuck do you mean she’s pregnant? How is that possible?”Kaia’s scream cut through the room the moment the door slammed shut. The sound rattled in my skull, but I could barely process it. My body swayed, unsteady, as I stepped forward. My eyes burned, blurred with tears—unless that was the blade the Priestess had turned to water, slicing through me in ways I couldn’t comprehend.Each step forward sent a sharp chill through my skin, a reminder of how drained I was. Physically. Mentally. A cruel laugh bubbled up in my throat, bitter and jagged. I was supposed to be dead by now. I had been ready—ready for that quiet, eternal escape. But instead, I was here. Alive. And now… I was pregnant?A sickness churned in my stomach, and suddenly, the nausea I’d been feeling made sense. The strange sensitivity, the exhaustion. But how? Why?“The Alpha did sleep with her, didn’t he?” The Priestess's voice was calm, but her eyes flickered between Orion and me, searching for somethi

    Orion’s POV“Babe, are you sure you can’t join me?” My voice was barely above a whisper as my fingers traced gentle circles on Kaia’s stomach. Her body tensed, her breath hitching before she let out a small, pained groan.She curled into herself, drawing her knees toward her chest as if the movement would somehow shield her from the pain wracking her body. My heart clenched at the sight. I hated seeing her like this. Hated how powerless it made me feel. No matter how strong I was, no matter how many battles I’d won, I couldn’t fight this for her.“I’m sorry, my love,” she murmured, her voice raspy. She dragged a trembling hand to her mouth, barely stifling a violent cough. “I know I promised to be there, but I just… I can’t.”I exhaled through my nose, swallowing the frustration that threatened to rise. It wasn’t her fault. It never was.“Hey, it’s okay.” I reached for the glass of water on the side table and brought it to her lips. “Here, drink.”She took slow, measured sips before w

    Hope's POV“Emberfang?” I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper. A chill ran down my spine, seizing my entire body in an icy grip. No. This had to be a joke. Was Lucian toying with me? My breath came in short, shaky bursts as I slowly unwrapped my arms from Orion, dread clawing at my chest. My lips trembled, fear settling deep in my bones at the thought of returning to that hellhole—the place that had broken me piece by piece, the dungeon where I had wasted away for years. I would rather die than go back.“Yes…” the man drawled, his voice dripping with something unreadable.“Is your mate alright?” the so-called Alpha asked, his eyes flickering toward me. Before I could react, Orion’s hand shot out, gripping mine in a bruising hold. I winced, startled by the sudden pressure, my pulse hammering against my skin. My gaze darted between Orion and Draven, my chest rising and falling in quick, panicked bursts. I didn’t want to be here.“She’s not my mate,” Orion muttered in disgust.T

    Hope's POVI stared at his image in the mirror, my brain feeling like a blank canvas and my body was an empty husk. I turned toward the door, glancing at every corner of the room: there was no one else in the room with us. I swallowed hard and turned off the tap.“The men's bathroom is the other way,” I spoke softly without looking up. I didn't trust myself to hold eye contact with him, especially when that proud smirk was on his face.“I'm not lost, Hope,” he said. I didn't like how confident he sounded, it unnerved me for some reason. The way he said my name like he had known me forever.I quickly dried my hands and pushed myself away from the sink. I hit his body and I froze, he had moved closer to me…too close for comfort. He bent and I felt the tip of his nose grazing my skin, my entire body went rigid, like I had swallowed bags of concrete.“You smell good,” his hot breath fanned my entire neck. What was this? What was I doing? Orion was waiting for me and I was carrying his chi

    Kaia’s POVAs soon as the door closed and Orion was gone, I flung the sticky sheets off my body. I had to pour a bit of water on the sheets and my body to ensure I was able to pull off the perspiration. There was gentle knock on the door and my heart skipped a beat, was that Orion? Had he come back to check on me so soon?“Who is it?” My eyes widened when I remembered I was supposed to be sick.I coughed and asked the question again in a sick voice.“Luna, I was asked to bring you some soup?”Oh, the maid. I scoffed and rolled my eyes, quickly changing from my sticky clothes before moving into the bathroom.“Come in and leave it on the table,” I shouted, then slammed the door. I heard the other door open and the footsteps of the maid as she walked into the room and dropped whatever she was holding.I pressed my ears against the door, straining to hear anything else after the door closed again for the second time. There was no one in there, I breathed a sigh of relief. I ripped the clo

    Orion's pov I gritted my teeth, gripping the wheel so hard my knuckles ached. My mind kept replaying the way that bastard had looked at her, the way she let him—like a desperate whore. The sun was a blur of my rage and betrayal, blinding me as he drove home. I had ordered my men to shove themselves into the convoy because I wanted to be alone with Hope to fully address her as the vermin she was. The warriors had shared understanding glances and obeyed. Some subtly shook their heads knowing what was to come. I ignored it, I didn't give two fucks what people thought, but if they dared step out of line once, they would face immediate subjugation. "Slut." The word left my mouth in a sneer. "I should’ve known. Should’ve listened to Kaia." Kaia had warned me about the child, she had asked vital questions but I didn't listen. The more I thought about it, the worse it got. She had slept with that man even before our wedding. And now I was supposed to believe this child was mine? My stomach

What did she do to my father? I didn't know how long she had been standing in the doorway till she ripped her phone out of my hand and my eyes landed on hers.“What is the meaning of that message?” I flung my feet off the bed and stood, moving close to her.“How dare you go through my phone? Did you read my messages? You don't have that right!” She yelled back at me and I was stunned. Was that all she would say?“Look, I'm sorry, okay? But who the hell sent you that text message and what did you do to my father?”She scoffed and rolled her eyes, walking toward her closet. I was not done with having this conversation. I trailed her as she slid into the small gap she opened at the door and almost slammed it in my face.I wedged my feet into the gap. The sting that racked my
