Alpha’s thirst for Ember Chapter 48
Darius limped through the woods, his fur matted with blood and grime. He walked slowly and quietly to avoid drawing the attention of any patrolling guards or wolves that might want a fight as he was too weak for another skirmish. His wolf huffed in frustration, he had been so close, so very close to getting what he wanted most. Thorne’s pack. He flinched at the thought of Serene’s disappointment when he found her. He was supposed to secure their and their baby’s future, but he had failed. Leaning on a tree to catch his breath, he shook his head. No, as long as he was still alive, he hadn’t failed, he would not give up. Too much was at stake. As he began to move again, unsure of where he was headed but determined to get off Thorne’s territory, he heard a sound, hushed voices. He froze to listen. Then, the voice came again. “Darius?” It was Serene. Darius whined and spun in the direction of the voice, limping as he went. Then, from behind a tree, Serene stepped out. As Darius approa

Ember sat beside Kaya’s bedside in the mansion’s clinic, while her mother rested a room away. It had been a week of bedside waiting, and when she stared at her mother’s face, she willed her to wake up. The pack doctor had informed her that her mother had been overdosed with a high concentration of wolfsbane and that it would take weeks for her to recover, and at the risk of losing her wolf. Ember had shivered at the news. Knowing her mother and how much she loved her wolf, she would rather die than lose her. And Ember understood completely, losing your wolf sounded like the most painful and soul shattering thing that could ever happen to a person. Every day, she made rounds in the clinic, checking on both her mother and Kaya, who was still mourning the loss of her hair. She cursed Darius for hurting two of the most important women in her life and swore to get her revenge. Kaya had a bald spot at the nape of her skull where Darius’s grip and the tension from the knife had forcefully p

Thorne sat in his office, going through his accounts as he waited for General Halister, who he had summoned minutes earlier. He was very interested in what Halister had to say concerning the massacre that had taken place at the Valley of Gods, orchestrated by Darius and Serene. Goosebumps riddled his skin whenever he thought about the massacre. He couldn’t believe Darius had gone that far just to plant a seed of discord between him and his mate, and to further their plans of killing him and seizing his territory. He wondered what plans they had put in place for the next phase, and to think he had been living with his own enemies all this time. His door creaked open as the gut of General Halister preceded him past the doorway into the office. “Alpha Thorne, I must say it’s a pleasure to see you hale and hearty.” Halister grunted as he walked toward Thorne’s table and settled in the chair across from him. “I can see that you’ve recovered. That’s good.” “Halister,” Thorne said with an

“Stella,” came Collin’s voice. Stella stirred awake immediately, startled. She turned to face Collin, who was at the entrance of her tent, poking his head inside as he stood outside. “What is it?” she asked groggily as she rubbed her eyes. She squinted at him, wondering why he was there. “Ragnar?” “He hasn’t returned,” Collin whispered as he bent lower and slipped inside, closing the tent behind him. Stella sat up, pulling the covers around herself as she frowned. “What are you doing?” she asked incredulously. “Shh…” Collin hushed with an awkward smile, he had a glint in his eyes that she didn’t like. She pushed herself backward until her back was flush against the tent pole, staring at him in confusion. “What are you doing? Why are you in here?” she asked again. Before she could blink, Collin was upon her, pressing his lips against hers in a rough, sloppy kiss, his body crushing hers with his weight. Stella recovered within seconds, gasping as she twisted her neck sharply to

Raphael watched Kaya sleep, knowing she would be pissed if she caught him doing so. Ever since her rescue, she had become very self conscious about her loss of hair and figure, so she hid away, even telling him not to visit so often until she got considerably better. But he didn’t mind. he still came to her every day after his duties in the gardens, bringing her freshly baked treats. Raphael adjusted her covers around her chest, only to raise his head and meet her gaze on him. “Hey,” she said with a shy smile. “Hi, beautiful,” he replied with a cheeky grin, he had missed her. “I brought these for you.” “Oh, thank you so much, Raphael,” Kaya said in appreciation, glancing sideways at the treats. She tried to sit up in bed, and Raphael quickly helped her, seeing how weak she still was. “Thank you,” she said again, averting her eyes from his. She hated being seen as weak. “So, the nurse said she’s going to recommend some activities to help you get stronger. Will you go for a walk wi

Kaya’s face shut down almost immediately after it lit up. Raphael remained on his knees, looking at her with a nervous and hopeful expression. The silence was heavy as the wind blew calmly and the trees swayed softly. Then, as he noticed her hesitation, his own expression darkened. Kaya looked away without a word, raising the cup to her lips and taking a slow and deliberately delicate sip. “Is there something wrong?” Raphael asked, his puzzled tone betraying his hand holding the ring as it dropped to his side and sat back on his heels. Kaya sighed deeply, steadying her emotions before she spoke, her head aching with a dull pressure. “There’s everything wrong, Raphael,” she said, smoothing her dress. “With what I’ve come to learn about werewolves, someday you’re going to meet your mate. And whether I like it or not, the moon is going to pull you two together until you succumb. What happens to me then?” “I’ve told you not to think about that, Kaya,” Raphael began, but she cut him o

“She was awake minutes ago, Luna, but then she slipped back into a deep sleep due to a metabolic imbalance. But she’s otherwise stable, we summoned you because we knew you would want to speak with her,” said the pack doctor to Ember, who was sitting in a chair by her mother’s bed with her hand in hers. The air was stale and smelled of medication, adding to the stark white walls and monotone bedding in the room. She really hated hospitals. Ember was disappointed. When she was informed, she had run down to the pack clinic with her heart in her throat. She missed her mother and couldn’t wait to speak with her, especially with the situation at Thorne’s estate. She wanted to leave as soon as possible, but she knew her old pack and home didn’t have the facilities to nurse her mother back to health the way Thorne’s did. She willed her mother to recover quickly, before Thorne decided to put them out. She suspected he was giving her a chance to leave honorably rather than be cast out by him.

Ember walked through her wing, running her hand over the walls as her footsteps echoed in the sparse space. “I didn’t even get a chance to redecorate,” she murmured to herself. She reached her room door and unlocked it with her key, walking straight to the bed. Collapsing onto it still in her day clothes, she let out a deep sigh. Just as she shimmied to get comfortable, a voice startled her from the bathroom. “Is that you, Luna? I’m just preparing your water for your evening bath!” came Dorothea’s voice. Ember buried her face in her pillow and groaned. She was so tired she didn’t mind going right to sleep without a shower. “Don’t worry about it, Dorothea. I’m fine!” she yelled back. “That is unacceptable!” came Dorothea’s voice again. Soon, Dorothea walked out of the bathroom, wearing rubber gloves and scrubs. From the look of things, she had thoroughly cleaned the place. “I’m done now, Luna. I promise you, you’ll be more comfortable sleeping after having a bath. And your beaut

Alpha’s thirst for Ember Chapter 94
Stella shot upright with a gasp, sweating profusely. She pressed a palm to her hammering heart. Her eyes darting around in confusion, realizing that she wasn’t in the woods or in a tent. This place was warm and glowing with soft candlelight, a high ceiling, and stone walls. Heavy curtains swayed slightly in the breeze.“Hey… hey, it’s okay,” a voice said gently.She turned her head fast.Caden.He was sitting at the edge of the bed, close but not too close, his hands already reaching for hers. She stared at him, blinking like she didn’t believe he was real.“You’re safe,” he said in a calming tone. “You’re safe here. With me.”Stella didn’t relax. Her breathing slowed, but her eyes stayed sharp and her fingers tightened around his.“Where’s my brother?” she asked him immediately, her voice raspy.Caden hesitated for a second, then... “He left,” he said. “With Kaya.”That only made her sit up straighter. “What do you mean left?”“I mean… I haven’t seen Ragnar, Kaya, or Ember since they

Serene stepped out onto the patio in a skimpy dress and a cup of beer in her hand. She took a slow sip, sighing in satisfaction. But when she turned around, she jumped, Raphael was standing there like a ghost.She narrowed her eyes. “You know, you could at least pretend to be useful. Weren’t you supposed to deliver Thorne’s weaknesses to Matteo by now?”Raphael didn’t respond.Serene clicked her tongue. “Don’t tell me you’re still mooning over that girl who belongs to someone else.”That got his attention and his eyes flashed, startled.She laughed, slinking toward him, her hips swaying deliberately. “I knew a man like that once,” she purred, taking another sip of her beer, “Madly in love with someone else’s mate. Thought he could change fate, rewrite the stars. You know where he is now?”Raphael stared at her silently.“In a shitty little inn on the edge of nowhere,” she said with a smirk. “Drinks himself to sleep every night. No pack. No purpose. No mate. Just regret.”She stepped i

Ragnar stood in the middle of the scorched fire pit where Collin’s group used to stay, the ash was cold beneath his boots. The place looked dead and abandoned, with not even the echo of a recent breath. They were gone.Of course they were, Collin wouldn’t have been stupid enough to stay after abducting his mother. Still, a part of him had hoped that maybe the bastard had lingered, that maybe he’d be foolish enough to gloat to his face. Ragnar exhaled through clenched teeth, trying to steady the storm boiling under his skin. He sharpened his senses, sniffing for any scent or trail left behind. Someone had to have slipped and left a sign to point in the direction they headed. Wolves or not, no group ever moved without leaving a trace.The scent was muddled with multiple trails. Like they’d scattered in different directions deliberately. One of the guards Thorne had sent with him stepped closer, disrupting his concentration.“We’ve checked the entire place,” the guard said. “There’s not

Ember stepped into Thorne’s room, her heart pounding, fingers twisting the hem of her short, thin dress. Thorne stood with his back to her, halfway through undressing, his muscles shifting under his skin as he pulled his shirt over his head.Without turning, he asked quietly, “Will you stay?”Ember said nothing.The last time she’d been here, he’d banished her, warning her never to return. Yet here she was, standing in his doorway dressed for him, aching for him. She didn’t want to talk or fight, she just wanted him.Finally, Thorne turned. His searing gaze landed on her, and he froze. His eyes dragged down her body once, then again, slower, like he couldn’t quite believe what he was seeing.“Will you stay?” he asked again, his voice rougher now.Ember stepped forward, closing the distance between them, and wrapped her arms around his bare waist, pressing her body firmly into his. She tilted her head up and whispered, “Touch me first. Talk later.”Thorne inhaled sharply, his hands com

Kaya opened her eyes to find herself stuffed inside some kind of rough bag and slung over a shoulder like cargo. Panic gripped her instantly. She thrashed and tried to scream, but a knot of fabric tied tightly over her mouth choked her sound. Her arms were bound tightly too. Her mind raced, why was she gagged? Where were they taking her?She wriggled harder, desperate, until a gruff voice growled, “Settle down, or I’ll drown you in the river with that sack still on your head.”Frozen by fear, kaya stopped moving. Tears spilled hot and fast down her cheeks.The rough jostling continued until, finally, the man carrying her stopped. She could hear voices, several of them, talking over each other, but they went quiet as they approached.“You got her? You really got her?” a voice said, giddy with excitement. Strong arms grabbed her, hauling her off the man’s shoulder and dropping her roughly to the ground. Kaya whimpered at the sharp pain shooting up her side.A moment later, the bag was p
Alpha’s thirst for Ember Chapter 89
Alpha Thorne, on approaching the border of his territory, smelled smoke and ran faster, bursting through the unmanned gates and straight towards the servants of camp.Ember hopped down from his back just as he and Ragnar skidded to a stop in front of the chaos, several of the living quarters were up in flames, and panicked servants and guards were trying to put them out with buckets of water and sand.‘What the hell happened here?’ Thorne snapped through the mind link to the nearest guard.The guard, breathless and covered in soot, rushed over to him. “Someone torched the buildings, Alpha. No one’s hurt, but it all happened so fast. We were caught off guard.”Ragnar shifted quickly and immediately started calling out, “Gertrude! Mom! Does anyone know Gertrude Fern?” But no one answered him. The only replies were frightened shakes of the head and tearful confusion.Thorne growled under his breath, his eyes scanning the burning mess. His security was too thin and sloppy. Even though th

Raphael sat on the cold floor of the cell beneath Matteo’s mansion with his back against the wall and his eyes half-closed. His body still ached and the wounds on his side were raw and slow to heal thanks to the wolfsbane in the pit. The pain had dulled, but it was still there, throbbing, steady and annoying.“Hey,” the rough-looking man in the next cell said as he leaned against the bars in a cocky voice. “They say you’re the next Alpha of Ashen Pack. Put in a good word for me with Matteo, yeah? I’ll join your pack, follow you anywhere, the works.”Raphael didn’t respond. He barely looked up as he wasn’t in the mood.The man scowled when he got no response. Too good to talk to me, huh?” he muttered. “Actin’ like a prince when you’re locked in a dungeon.” He spat, the glob of spit landing just inches away from Raphael’s boot.Still, Raphael didn’t move. His focus stayed on his side, watching the wound throb slightly with every breath he took.He started to doubt if coming to Alpha Mat

Thorne’s massive black wolf clashed with the white one, their growls shaking the quiet woods as they snapped and scraped at each other. They broke apart, circling each other, both ready to kill.Before either of them could lunge again, a voice yelled out. “Ragnar!” Kaya shouted as she burst into the clearing with panic all over her face.Ember’s heart skipped and her eyes darted to the white wolf... realizing…“Wait…” she murmured, “That’s Ragnar…”She didn’t stop to think and she rushed toward them, throwing her arms out. “Stop! Both of you!”The black wolf that was Thorne skidded to a halt, baring his teeth. The white wolf growled, his chest rising and falling in heavy breaths.“He’s with us,” Ember said quickly, her eyes on Thorne. “Ragnar’s one of us. He’s not the enemy.”Ragnar growled through the mind-link, his voice rough and angry in her head.“He’s always been the enemy. I came here to kill him.”Thorne responded just as coldly.“You can try. Everyone who’s ever wanted a pie

“I’m going outside to get some air,” Ember muttered.Caden just nodded, already sinking back onto the edge of the bed, his eyes never leaving Stella’s face.Ember made her way down the stairs as the house buzzed with activity all around her. Hammers tapped, brushes sweeping, voices murmuring all around the house. She passed the workers, each one pausing to bow slightly or nod at her.The hallway no longer looked like abandonment. The cobwebs were gone, the heavy smell of dust had been replaced with clean air and the faint scent of polish. The faded wallpapers had been stripped and replaced with colors that glowed warmly under the light streaming through the lamps. It was becoming a home again. She was the Luna of Thorne Maddox’s pack. That truth echoed in her head with a weight she could finally carry, and she was carrying his child. And despite all his scars and all their disagreements, Thorne had ordered this house to be rebuilt and had stationed guards to protect her, he had exten
