Semua Bab Alpha’s thirst for Ember : Bab 101 - Bab 110

‘Any last words, hero?’ The large brown wolf growled dangerously through the link, keeping his eyes locked on Raphael like a predator sizing up its prey.Raphael snarled back, refusing to break the eye contact. He slowly crouched down to the side, easing Gertrude and the girl off his back. Even though he barely knew the girl, a sudden fierce protectiveness flared inside him the moment she stepped down. Her touch lingered in his mind like a spark, and he missed it already.He glanced from the corner of his eye as the girl helped Gertrude to her feet, limping over to Kaya and the other girl, who lay unconscious on the ground. Raphael’s chest tightened seeing them helpless like that.’That’s right, huddle close,’ the brown wolf sneered, his voice dripping with cruelty, ’after I kill the boy, we’re heading straight back to base.’Gertrude stopped, turning to face the brown wolf with tears running down her face.“Please, let us go. They’re just children,” she pleaded desperately.The wolf’

Raphael stood his ground, unflinching as he said to Caden, “He let me be present because he thought I was a valuable asset.”“Why?” Caden sneered, barely restraining his violent tendencies.“Because I’m the next in line as the new Alpha of Ashen Pack.”Caden paused. Even Luna Zyrah turned to him, perking up at the surprising news.Raphael continued, “Matteo tried to buy my loyalty once he discovered who I was, and that’s why he gave me that access. But I used the opportunity well and planned the rescue immediately I heard Collin mention using Kaya and Gertrude as bargaining chips. I would never have stood aside and done nothing.”“Why have you stayed hidden and quiet all this while?” Luna Zyrah asked him curiously.“After the last war, my parents fled and I haven’t heard from them since. According to intel I picked up from living with Thorne, I’m sure they’re not dead. They just ran like cowards, leaving me behind. Leaving our pack to fall into ruins and into the hands of traffickers.

Caden stood atop the large wall that surrounded the Silvercrest mansion, Matteo’s elaborate pack house. The night was still, with little activity as the guards loitered around under the guise of patrolling.Caden took in a deep breath, letting the air sweep through his lungs, closing his eyes in concentration and identifying Stella’s scent amongst the barrage of other smells emanating from the environment. Stella was there, alright.The path to the mansion was a long and open field with no hiding spots. He had never had to sneak into the place like this. But after living there for almost three years, from the day he was kidnapped and separated from his sister and mother, he had memorized the layout and knew it like the back of his hand.He simply followed the fence, running in a crouched position without the guards seeing him. He knew Matteo wanted his head. The last time he was here, he had been given a mission to assassinate an alpha, and he had not only failed, but he had also acce

Upon reaching Bloodveil, Caden wasted no time in running up the stairs to the master bedroom, with Stella behind him. Past the workers surprised at the sight of their large wolves running through the house. Their footsteps thundered against the polished wood, startled gasps echoing as staff pressed themselves against the walls, unsure whether to bow or run. Caden walked into the room headfirst, nudging the door open so hard it splintered. The warmth rolled over them from the packed candle-lit space as Renee hopped off Caden’s wolf to the surprised gazes of Kaya, Eira, and Raphael who sat by the cot of the unconscious human girl he’d rescued with Eira. The flicker of candlelight threw long shadows over the walls, casting a golden haze over their tense faces and exhausted eyes. Stella shifted, swiftly donning a coat and standing off to the side. Her movements were quiet, almost cautious, as though there was a negative energy in the room. Caden turned to Kaya who was already approac

Ember’s eyes, locked on the direction of the approaching entity, glinted as she prepared to strike.But just as she pressed her feet firmly into the floor, she heard an exclamation.“There you are. I was just heading to your wing.” Caden said as he stepped out into the light. Halister relaxed his stance, stepping aside to let Caden approach her.Ember drew her brows together. “Caden? Why’re you back here so soon? What is wrong?”“A lot. Stella had been kidnapped by Matteo and Serene, who are both dead now. I went to get her and found out from Raphael that Collin had made a deal with Matteo, to get more men. Thorne is in trouble,” Caden rasped.“Matteo is dead?” Halister and Ember echoed at the same time.“There’s no time. I need at least 50 men to accompany me to the Weeping Creek, the fighting must have reached its peak by now. We simply cannot let Collin win.” Caden said, his grip on Ember’s arm tightening with every word.“Did Matteo die by your hands?” Halister asked Caden, his
