All Chapters of Blood Ties And Betrayal: The rogues redemption : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

EmberI looked around for any possible exit, but there were none, what sort of trouble is this? Erica was still very much trembling behind me, and before me were sneering Lycan rogues who I have no idea how they knew me and apparently are trying to capture me, according to the order from the one who had just left the room.They were sneering, even more joking at my current situation.“Just surrender yourself sweetie, one against five, are you kidding me or yourself?” The tall man grins.“I’d advise you to let us go right now, my pack is nearer. It might still be one against five right now, but once I contact them it'll be five against hundreds.” I threatened, it would've been easier if I was able to connect with the pack at this instance, but I knew it'll be impossible, I'm not an official member, I just lived with them… not sworn in as a member!“Haha… why not try the so-called communication and see if it'll work? Listen up, step aside so we can finish up that bitch behind you, befor

EmberMy whole body was in pain, my intestines felt as if they were being cut with a knife over and over again, my body burned, my bones ached as I curled myself into a ball as though it would protect me from the pain. From the angle I laid, I saw the tall Lycan stood up with a snarl, snarling at the man at the door; a warning that he was outnumbered and he should run in the face of their power.But I only pity nothing but their ignorance. This man was like a beast while fighting, from what he did to the people from the research institute, from the way he kicked Rowan at the hotel, to the hospital he had moved at the speed of a light, pinning the security down.Although I have no idea how he knew I was here, I'm glad… my heart swelled, even though I knew I should be concerned about him locating me again, I knew I shouldn't be feeling this, but my churning stomach was immediately rid off as it swirled with delight. The tall Lycan was also stunned, staring at his face for a long time

Ember Maverick's unexpected words knocked the wind out of me. I sat there, paralyzed, my hand was still firmly locked in his grasp. “If it was just a one-night thing-” he said, his voice barely above whisper, “-would I have dropped everything and come here to Arizona just to see you?” He exhaled and continued, “You kept running every single time, leaving me worried and distressed. Don’t even try to pretend you haven’t felt this between us.” His gaze held mine, intense and unrelenting, making my palms grow sweaty, even under the chill of the wind up here. My heart raced and my pulse pounded in my neck. My voice was stuck in my throat, unable to form words. His thumb traced gentle circles on my palm, sending shivers down my spine. It was a tender touch, but with an undercurrent of possessiveness. I should have pushed him away and run, but his words were compelling, believable. Talking in that tone, he was doing it again, giving me false hope—helplessly and relentlessly breaking thr

PresentEmber“So, she wasn't lying when she said you're married?” tilting my head, I asked curiously. Honestly, I wanted to know more, even though I knew I shouldn’t be asking. I shouldn’t be digging into his past, but a part of me still wanted to know.“Yes... she didn't lie. But you have to trust me; I don’t have anything to do with her anymore.”“I guess.”“Yeah…” he replied, and then silence filled the air between us—heavy, almost to the point of suffocation.I lay back on the concrete floor beside him, my hand nearly touching his. I eventually tucked it behind my head, mirroring his posture.We just looked at the sky, feeling the breeze brush our faces—soothing, calming. This was exactly why I loved coming here to clear my head when I felt overwhelmed.I couldn’t help but ask myself at that moment, ‘Do I really deserve happiness? Do I deserve to be happy, to experience it again?’Lyra wanted me to be happy, Alpha Jordan wanted that too, and I’m sure if Derek were alive, he would

Ember“Ember, hurry up and get out here! We’re starving!” Lyra’s voice rang out from the dining table, teasing but loud enough to make her point.I could almost see her rolling her eyes, a little grin tugged at my lips as I called back, “On my way!”I arranged the dishes on the tray, carrying them to the dining table, where Lyra and Kai were already seated.As I entered, Lyra’s gaze swept over me, and she let out an exaggerated sigh. “Finally,” she muttered, rolling her eyes, her voice filled with drama as she continued sarcastically, “We were this close to death.” she indicated with her fingertips.“Oh please, Lyra,” I growled playfully.Just then, Alpha Jordan walked closer, glancing at her with a raised eyebrow. “What’s going on?”Lyra shot me a mischievous look before turning to him. “It’s Ember,” she said, grinning. “She’s been holed up in the kitchen, smiling like an idiot. I almost got chills seeing her like that, considering how cold she’s been lately.”Alpha Jordan chuckled
