บททั้งหมดของ Alpha’s thirst for Ember : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Ember briskly walked to the kitchen, wondering why Kaya had been delayed for so long. As she turned a corner, she nearly collided with Serene. Both Lunas paused, sizing each other up, each one waiting for the other to speak. They hadn’t seen each other since the night of the party, and neither was prepared for a confrontation. Serene’s gaze swept over Ember from head to toe, her face contorting in distaste as if she was witnessing something embarrassing. Ember arched her brow. “Is there a problem?” Serene was taken aback, she hadn’t expected Ember to address her so boldly. But she recovered quickly. “No, Luna,” Serene drawled, flashing Ember a slow smile. “I was just on my way to Thorne’s quarters. By the way, have you seen him? We still need to discuss names for the baby.” She smirked. Ember snorted, rolling her eyes. “I can’t wait to see your face when you realize the cons of trapping a man with a baby. It hardly ever works out.” Serene’s smirk didn’t waver. “What’s with ever

Ember led the way to her room, Thorne following closely behind her in his wolf form. As soon as they entered, he nudged the door closed with his muzzle and shifted into his human form. Without a word, he strode to her wardrobe and began sorting through her clothes while she watched him curiously. To her surprise, he pulled out a pair of male pants and a nightshirt for himself. “How did that get in there?” she asked, genuinely surprised. “You’re my mate. I should have some of my things in your room, and yours in mine, naturally,” Thorne said easily. He didn’t put on the clothes immediately, instead, he walked into the bathroom to take a bath. Ember watched him disappear inside, still not used to someone sharing her space so naturally. Then again, it was his house, she mused. She settled into her recliner and picked up her book, waiting for Thorne to finish showering so she could take her turn to bathe. The thought of telling him about her family flashed through her mind again, and s

Serene glared at Thorne as she watched him sort out clothes from his wardrobe. He hadn’t spent the night in his room, despite her attempt to seduce him by dressing up in lace clothing and perfume. She waited up for him until she fell asleep and woke up in the morning in his bed alone. He was no doubt with Ember. She clenched her fists in anger. “I’m surprised you didn’t kill Matteo,” Serene said, staring at him while he packed. “I’m sure you would’ve preferred him dead,” Thorne muttered with disinterest. “Obviously, he had been itching to get rid of me,” Serene said, scoffing as she flipped her hair. “I didn’t get that image of the situation when he came to take you before. Sounds like you’re the one jumping from one cock to another, looking for influence and god knows what.” Serene watched him with a scowl without responding. Thorne had hated his mate. What had changed so much that he preferred to sleep in Ember’s room instead of in his room with her? She was sexier and more exp

Thorne walked toward Ember’s room, surprised to realize he was looking forward to seeing her. Her fearlessness and candid manner was a refreshing contrast to the deference and fear he had grown used to from his pack members and business partners over the years. Somehow, she made him see his faults and despite everything, he wanted to protect her. At the entrance to her wing, he stopped by the guard. “Are there any updates on the missing person case? Kaya?” Thorne asked seriously. “No, Alpha. We’ve searched everywhere, no wolf has come across her scent yet,” the guard responded swiftly. “But the search is still on. Every wolf is on the lookout, sir.” Thorne scrunched his forehead in worry. How and why had Kaya disappeared so suddenly? A sinking feeling settled in his chest. He suspected this wasn’t ordinary. Something was up. He pushed open Ember’s door absentmindedly, forgetting that she had requested he knock. After closing the door behind him, he turned to see her staring at him

Ember lay on the roof in her wolf form, her trusted private corner, the very spot she had leapt from in her last jailbreak. She smiled mentally at the memory. Her tail brushed against the roof in soft thuds as she relaxed under the moonlight’s gentle glow. She lazily watched the small outlines of people moving in and out of the mansion, idly imagining their stories. Her thoughts drifted to Kaya, and she realized how little she truly knew about her. All she really knew was that Kaya’s human parents had migrated into werewolf territory, desperate to become wolves themselves. But their desperation had worked against them and they had been rejected repeatedly, their eagerness making them infamous and shunned, which in turn diminished their chances of ever being accepted into a clan and turned. They had lived on the outskirts of a pack until it was overrun by rogues. In the chaos that followed, Kaya’s parents, unable to defend themselves, had been killed, and she had been kidnapped and tr
