Ember's POV:

The next day, I was expecting Nicholus to visit me and discuss the ticking bomb looming over our heads, a.k.a. the mate bond.

A ball of anxiety rolled around in my belly for the whole day. To be honest, I wasn't ready for that conversation. For some reason, I still wanted to be free of this mate bond and return to the South.

Deep down, I knew there was no point in going back now. My people would never accept me. It didn't go unnoticed by me how no one from the South ever attempted to rescue me. I was sure it was my Father's doing. He must have brainwashed them against me.

He must have revealed that I was a witch. Me being a hybrid was enough to turn them against me. I wouldn't be surprised after knowing that my cunning father had painted me as a liar and wicked witch who was betraying everyone to get her hands on the throne and rule the South.

On top of that, he must have used this mate bond against me. I could imagine the hatred he must have planted in those people after

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 125

    Ember’s POV:That night, when the nurse turned off the lights and bid me goodbye for the day, I closed my eyes to sleep.But more than an hour passed, and sleep was nowhere to be found. My breathing was calm, and my heartbeat was rhythmic, but still, there was a thunderous storm raging inside me.My head was a chaotic mess of jumbled thoughts. Despite waiting, Nicholus didn’t come to my room for the whole day and the question of claiming bond was still haunting me.Discussing the matter with Darius didn’t help me much either. He was biased, that much was evident. Not that I blamed him for that.God, it was the moment when I needed Sophie beside me more than ever. That girl always had the sensical solution to my problems.I was still engrossed in my thoughts when the door creaked open. My eyes were closed when I heard the footsteps approaching my bed. It was him.My mind went blank. Just when did I learn the pattern of his footsteps so that I could recognize it was him even without see

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 126

    Ember’s POV: “You still up?” he asked me in a deep, sleepy voice. My eyes shifted to our intertwined hands. Something told me I should free my hand from his hold for the conversation we were about to have but for some weird reason, I didn’t want to. I wanted to relish his warmth a bit longer. He followed my line of vision and stared at our joined hands but made no attempt to unclasp them. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed hard, “I was here…” “…for the last five nights,” I said in a blank voice. His eyes widened a little as he rasped out, “You knew?” It was my time to swallow, “Yes, I knew every time you entered the room after the lights were off, checked my fever, held my hand, and slept by my side only to vanish early the next morning before I could wake up.” I shifted my gaze to the ceiling and asked aloud, “Why have you been doing that, Nicholus?” He seemed to be at a loss for words as his eyes widened a bit more. He opened his mouth to say something but quickly clamp

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 127

    Ember's POV:My heart instantly picked a beat as soon as my eyes landed on a black rose and a folded piece of paper. There was no doubt who left them there. It was his answer. To everything I'd said last night. Remembering his expressions before he left the room, I dreaded reading whatever was written in there.Last night, he went away without saying a word, leaving me with thousands of questions and chaotic thoughts that kept me awake till dawn.Slowly, I lifted my trembling fingers and moved them toward the bedside table. But it wasn't in me to read what mysteries were waiting for me.Not willing to admit that I actually dreaded reading his words, I told myself that I just needed some time to compose myself before indulging in that.Right on cue, the door flung open and the nurse tiptoed into the room. Contrary to the storm raging inside me, there was a bright smile on her face when she greeted cheerfully, "Good Morning, how are you feeling today?"How was I feeling? Like a wreck af

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 128

    Ember's POV: My eyes were stuck to the last words, boring holes in the page. I stared for so long and so hard that my vision became blurry, and I lost my focus. As I tried to process the words I had just read, my mind denied their existence because coming that from Alpha Nicholus was impossible—absolutely impossible. Snapping out of the confusing haze, I read the letter again. This time, more slowly and assessed each and every word in detail. The picture played in my mind, and for the first time, I viewed our story from his perspective, and I was shocked to see how different it was from mine. I didn't fail to notice how concisely he had summarized all that and still included all the important details while relaying his feelings. I exhaled heavily and placed the letter on my lap beside the black rose. Lifting my gaze, I started staring at the wall in front of me and could literally see the words painted on it, that’s how much they were embedded in me. I still found it hard to bel

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 129

    Ember's POV: For the rest of the day, I kept waiting for Nicholus. Every time the door creaked open, my heart picked a beat, anticipating his appearance. And every time, a nurse or maid popped their heads through the door, my shoulders slouched. With every passing hour, I was getting more and more restless. How much time did he exactly mean when he said he wanted to give me time to decide? The night came. I had my dinner, medicines, and physiotherapy but my mate was still nowhere to be found. After 9 pm, the nurse bid me farewell for the day and moved toward the door. Her fingers were on the switchboard to turn off the lights and I was about to close my eyes when the door flung open. My head whipped in its direction and my breath got stuck in my lungs as I saw a 6-foot tall, broad, and bulky frame filling the doorway. His gaze was fixated on me for a whole minute before he finally stepped inside and closed the door behind him. While he was conversing with the nurse, I let my eyes

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 130

    Ember’s POV:As his words embedded into my brain, another question popped into my mind. A question whose answer I wanted from his perspective.Still staring down at the bloomed petals of the black rose in my hand, I asked with a slight frown between my brows, “And which rose do you think depicts me the best?”He didn’t take any time to think. Instead, he answered instantly as if the words were already waiting on the tip of his tongue, “White rose, for sure.”My frown deepened as I turned my gaze to him, “White rose? Why? What does that signify?” Now I was really curious to know.His gaze softened and the smallest of a smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he opened his mouth, “A white rose symbolizes purity and innocence and you are absolutely free of any wickedness or darkness. It is also a symbol of love, reverence, and admiration and is used to express deep feelings of respect and devotion, all the things that you deserve in your life.”He paused, his mouth hung open for a momen

    Ember's POV:The next morning, I blinked my eyes open and was surprised to see a pair of black and white roses on my bedside table. A smile crept over my lips at the sight of fresh roses.I was amazed at how Nicholus put detail into everything. Even now, the combination of black and white roses, each portraying our different personalities.Rubbing the sleep off my eyes, I pressed the button to slide the upper half of my bed upward. Reaching over to the table, I was about to grab the roses when I noticed a small note placed under them.Sliding it out, I unfolded a piece of paper. A smile instantly bloomed on my lips as I read the words scribbled in my mate's wavy handwriting:"Good Morning, beautiful."I never thought such a day would come when I'd be smiling at a little note left by him. What was even more unbelievable was the fact that the King of the North was even capable of writing it. I mean, what were we? Teenagers?Well, the wide grin plastered on my face was the living proof o

    Ember’s POV:The next morning, I again woke up to an empty chair and a pair of black and white roses in the vase with a little note of good morning that brought a wide smile to my sleepy face.After breakfast, the nurse and the maid bid their farewell and I groaned heavily. It was the most boring time of the day when I was left alone to rest. How could they expect me to stay still for weeks?My foot was all healed now but due to the broken ribs, I couldn’t get up or walk around or do any activity. After all, I was on a fucking bedrest which only gave me more time to overthink everything and that's exactly what I'd been doing lately.Right then, I heard a knock on the door. I had no idea who it was because no one had ever come at this hour of the day.As I said to come in, the door slid open and I watched in confusion as a servant strolled a cart inside the room. Padding straight in my direction, he set the cart beside my bed.As I looked closely, I frowned. It was actually a book cart

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 188

    Ember's POV: The next morning, I woke up with Nicholus's arm wrapped around me. As I tried to wriggle out of his hold, he squirmed in his sleep and tightened his hold, "Mmhmm, where are you going?" I glanced over my shoulder at his adorable, groggy eyes he was squinting at me with. "I have to go," I replied. He groaned, unhappy with the answer, "No, don't go anywhere. Just stay here and give me morning cuddles."At that, I burst out laughing loudly, "People would call me crazy if I'd ever tell them that the ruthless alpha of the North just said those cheesy words to me."Moving his hand to my bottom, he spanked my ass playfully, "You naughty, little princess, why would you tell anyone about what happens in our bedroom?"I giggled under my breath, "Good thing that the room is soundproof or otherwise I wouldn't need to 'tell' them about what exactly happens in our bedroom."Snuggling closer, he licked my earlobe and whispered roughly, "Yeah, because your loud screams and hot moans wou

    Ember's POV:Knowing that I had a long day ahead, I hit the bed earlier than usual. I just wanted to restore my energy to appear fresh and energetic while making my first public appearance.But despite everything from lighting the candles with soothing aromas to drinking the herbal tea, I was unable to find sleep. Hours passed and I still found myself tossing and turning on the bed as restlessness zinged inside me.There was a ball of nervousness inflating inside my belly as I thought about tomorrow. Even though after careful consideration, we've shortlisted the smallest and most welcoming pack for our first visit I just couldn't help thinking about the worst outcome.I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the door creaking open. I glanced over my shoulder to find Nicholus closing the door behind him.As he turned around, a slight frown appeared between his brows, "Why are you still up? Is everything okay?" I caught a hint of worry in his voice as his eyes roamed over all over

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 186

    Ember's POV:The next day after breakfast, we all gathered in the conference room to discuss the plan and schedule of coming days.I was sitting on a chair next to Nicholus's head chair with a file of pack names and descriptions opened in front of me.Darius, who was sitting accross from me, inquired curiously, "So, what pack are we going to visit first?"My eyes scanned the contents of the file while my mind was busy making a strategy.Just when I opened my mouth to answer him, a breath got stuck in my lungs. I felt electricity rushing through my veins as Nicholus sprawled his hand over my thigh.Slowly, I clamped my mouth shut and swallowed hard as his thumb stroked my thigh. Why a mere movement felt so damn sensual was beyond my understanding.Darius who was still waiting for an answer raised his eyebrow, "Well?"I swallowed again and huffed out a huge breath, "First, we'll..."Once again, my mouth clamped shut as Nicholus's hand started moving up my thigh, letting tingles break al

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 185

    Ember's POV:Tears were already brimming my eyes when I reached the door. My insides were swelling with so much rage that I had no idea how to keep them inside anymore. Without sparing a glance over my shoulder at my sobbing mother, I threw the door open and stormed outside only to come to a sudden halt when I spotted Nicholus leaning against the wall.As soon as he saw me, he straightened abruptly. His eyes roamed all over my red, angry face before settling on my eyes crested with tears.I was on the verge of crying but I didn't want to do that in front of him. I didn't want him to perceive his mate as weak and vulnerable who didn't know how to handle a situation or navigate her feelings.His jaw clenched tightly at seeing me in that state. I jerked my face to the other side, unsure of when these traitors of tears would decide to betray me.Nicholus took a quick step toward me but before he could take another, I raised my palm in the air and choked through the lump in my throat, "Don

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 184

    Ember's POV: Unable to look at her being hurt by my words, I averted my gaze, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude." I took a deep breath and willed myself to calm down and think rationally. Pulling her hand away from my face, she fumbled her fingers together, "Never apologize for speaking your mind." That coming from her made so much sense. That actually made me realize that my mother wasn't some weak woman, indeed. For years, she faced Father's oppression and finally, did find a way out of his clutches. Father had often reprimanded me for having too many opinions or always speaking my mind. He perceived my fierce personality as a sign of arrogance. But hearing these words from my mother made me wonder whether I got this fierceness from her. Moving my gaze to the couch, I waved at it, "Let's have a seat." I waited for her to start moving and then followed her to the couch. As she sat down, I followed the suit and sat on the couch adjacent to hers. She was still fumbling with

  • Kidnapped By The Ruthless Alpha Of North   Chapter 183

    Ember's POV:With my heart stuck in my throat and gaze on the floor, I stepped inside the Guest Hall where she awaited me.She? Who? Even in my mind, I couldn’t bring myself to give her any title. And that got me wondering what was I actually supposed to call her. Mom? Mummy? That would sound so weird. It wasn't like we had some deep bond of love between us. Alas, it would have been if she hadn't left me.Mother, maybe? Like Father. I never called him dad or daddy because I never felt like that. Pain shot through me as I suddenly realized this lady standing in front of me was even more of a stranger than I considered my Father to be.At least, he stayed with me despite everything. Even though deep in his heart, there was hatred for me but still, he never left me. I don’t care whether that was because I was his only heir or what, he did remain with me, and brought me up. Even though he couldn’t give me his love, he did give me all the facilities one could ask for. And still, despite al

    Ember’s POV:Today was the D-Day. And that fact was hanging over my head since the moment my body recovered from the hard-core orgasms my mate had bestowed me with all morning.Nicholus had offered to stay with me but I didn't want him to stop everything and babysit me while I fretted over meeting my mother for the very first time.To calm my jittery nerves, I decided to go for a long and hot shower. The maid even lit up some candles with soothing aroma but unfortunately, even after half an hour of leisuring in the bathtub, my mind was still stuck on my mother.With a ball of anxiety rotating in my stomach, I let out a loud sigh and hopped out of the bathtub. Wrapping the bathrobe around me, I strode out of the bathroom.While making my way toward the closet, I heard a knock on the door. Halting, I turned toward it and hollered at whoever was on the other side to come in.I watched as the door slid open and a maid stepped inside. Bowing at her waist, she started speaking politely, "Go

    Ember's POV: The next morning, I woke up to find myself spooned in Nicholus's embrace. One of his arms was under my head while the other one was wrapped around my belly. I fucking loved mornings like these. Waking up to the warmth of my mate was worth every difficulty I'd survived till now. Oh, what I wouldn't give to have his body tightly pressed against mine every morning. I shifted slightly and froze as something poked in my ass. His morning wood. Did I fail to mention that while counting the morning blessings? Something hot exploded in my lower belly as heat pooled between my legs. My heart started racing excitingly as I shifted slightly to have the perfect angle to rub my ass on his hard dick. As I slid my ass up and down his hard-on, I felt slick wetness leaking out of my pussy. Fuck, it felt so amazing that I could do that all day without a pause. And suddenly, my heartbeat turned erratic as I heard a deep, morning voice, "You again?" It was so sensual that a new wave of

    Ember's POV: The next day while we were all gathered around the dining table during lunch, Nicholus's phone started ringing. One glance at the screen and my breath got stuck in my lungs as the name 'Mabel' flashed as the caller ID. Mother. Quickly grabbing the phone off the table, Nicholus excused himself and hurried outside. For a long minute, I stayed stuck in that moment. A ball of nervousness inflated inside me. Yesterday, I asked Nicholus to contact her and tell her I wanna meet her. As much as I was curious, I was also dreading the moment he would walk back inside and explode the bomb on me. I couldn't believe I was actually sitting there, with a stomach tightly coiled in a knot of fear, wondering whether my own mother would agree to meet her only daughter after abandoning her all those years ago. For the first time ever, I was questioning my worth. Would she see me worthy enough to meet me? Or was I going to be shunned once again? My stomach churned. The taste of my mouth
