บททั้งหมดของ Alpha’s thirst for Ember : บทที่ 121 - บทที่ 128

He felt the insistent flow of blood from the cut in his thigh, felt his pants stick to his skin as it soaked up the blood. The whole courtyard held its breath as Alpha Riad gasped, his eyes widening in confusion and rage. His body tipped backward, staggering as he clutched the hilt of the dagger lodged deep in his chest. Blood sputtered from his mouth, running down his chin as he gasped again with a withering glare at Raphael. “You bastar…” he groaned, the word choked with effort. Then he collapsed and hit the ground, limp. Raphael panted, his eyes fixed on Riad’s body as it crumpled in the dust. Somewhere across the courtyard, someone let out a sharp, wild laugh. Caden. “Yeah! That’s what I’m talking about!” Caden roared, grinning wide enough to show his teeth. Edvart, Alpha Riad’s beta, snapped out of his shock. His eyes locked onto Raphael with murderous intent as he stormed forward, his dagger drawn. “You’re dead!” he shouted. “Stop right there!” Raphael snapped. Hi

The scorching sun bore down on the earth, as Thorne stood in front of the pack house, flanked by his guards in their wolf forms. He zeroed his gaze on the group of wolves bounding toward him, dust rising in their wake.The one in front carried a white flag in its mouth, a sign of negotiation, or truce. Surrender was unlikely. They most probably knew his pack was currently weak, they wouldn’t just surrender. Not for any reason.His own men, part of the wolves stationed at the gate and perimeter, escorted the incoming group. They ran in formation, keeping the outsiders boxed in, ready to strike the moment anything went wrong.The foreign wolves slowed, stopping a safe distance before him, surrounded on all sides by Thorne’s guards.The leader stepped forward, and Thorne saw the second flag clearly now, even though he’d already guessed. Ashen Pack. So Riad had finally made a move. He wondered why they sent scouts first and not the whole army. Maybe Riad was biding time. Maybe he was stal

Ember held her breath. This was it, the moment that defined and crowned her decision to stay with Thorne and follow him. Not with violence, but peace. To show him that some apples did fall far from the tree.For so long, she had refused to see the darker side of her parents, instead dwelling on the false belief that Alpha Thorne, and Thorne alone, had been responsible for them losing their pack, their home, and their family.But her mother’s actions had proved otherwise. Going as far as nearly murdering her own daughter just to uphold a lie, even after being exposed and, ironically, shielded by Thorne’s mercy.Ember had done her best. Caden had tried to lead with violence but had seen her vision, and in his own way, had fought to prove he was worthy of reclaiming his birthright.Now, it all rested in Thorne’s hands.As she felt the steady rise and fall of his chest behind her, she sent a silent prayer to the Moon Goddess, that her mate would find it in his heart to be merciful, to be

Months later, Kaya lay her head on Ragnar’s chest, staring down the length of his lower body. He had been away in Silvercrest, sent to conquer and organize the remains of the territory for Alpha Thorne, who had claimed it and merged it with his own. Kaya had wanted to join him, or at least visit, but he insisted she stay behind.He’d been right. When he returned, he came home with so many wounds she wondered how he’d managed to survive at all. Matteo’s pack, what was left of it, hadn’t surrendered without a fight.After Matteo’s death, they tried to regroup and choose a new alpha. Since Matteo and Serene had produced no heir, chaos followed. They kept fighting among themselves until Ragnar arrived and took it in Thorne’s name.Ember had thrived. She transformed from the underfed, trafficked girl who had lost her family, to a strong, vocal Luna. The pack moved in tune with her, following her guidance like waves to the moon. She softened Thorne in a way that made him even stronger, and
