Their Thief Redemption นิยาย & เรื่องราว

I whispered, but this doubt which he had been watering all hours was starting to itch. "Am I?" Thorne touched my lips, thumb tracing the line of my lower lip. His hand was chilled, and there was no electric shock with it like a shock with Ryder, or the warming warmth with Jax. "He's a rogue. Rogues put value on existence rather than feelings. And you... you are a liability he can no longer keep by him. He signaled to the guards. They pushed me down on my knees. The ice-cold stone floor was biting my skin and getting through my dress which was in tatters.

Again and again. He was convinced he was a fine judge of character. Asher insisted Julian wouldn’t harm Emily, even though he had abducted her. Now that he had his stud back and had calmed down, he seemed almost embarrassed by his earlier suspicions. The man who bought Thunder in Abilene had positively identified Red and Jake as the thieves. Warrants were already out for their arrest. Marcus found it strange that Julian would throw in with the two men he had fought so fiercely before. And if he hadn’t been one of the thieves at all? Maybe desperation had driven him. Maybe Emily had been his last card to play,.

The snare had snapped tight, but the thief hadn't been alone. "The toxin paralyzed the man who touched it," I murmured, my lips tightening into a fierce, unyielding line as I looked down at the frozen soldier. "But someone else was here to rip the replica from his grip. Thomas didn't do his own dirty work. He sent a sacrificial lamb instead." Ethan’s jaw tightened into a rigid line of raw fury, his dominant Alpha aura flaring so sharply that the lantern flame wavered. "My shadow warriors are already stationed at every tunnel exit. Whoever carries that bleeding wound won't make it to the surface alive."

She looked tired and worry blazed in her dark eyes as she continued to take me in. "What happened?" I asked slowly, trying to control the worry that was beginning to build up within me. "Why do you look like you are about to breakdown?" "Ashton’s father was murdered." Thia responded. Her words felt like a thousand pound weight slamming into me. "Murdered?" I repeated. "How is that possible? Isn’t he an extremely powerful alpha? " "He was," Thia confirmed. "But someone managed to sneak into his packgrounds and kill him."

“The thief with the fake Crystal Moon confessed. He stole it because he needed some funds for himself and his family.” “Oh great... An excuse for a crime.” Alpha Xander’s voice trailed off, “You know I don't care about that, just behead him.” My heart skipped upon what he said. I held my breath and panicked inwardly. “We will, but the fake Crystal Moon is missing. The thief mentioned that he dropped it while running.” “Obviously, another thief picked it up. Behead the both of them.” “But-” “No buts, no questions. Just do as I say, behead the two thieves.”

This thought brought a small smile to his face and he nodded satisfactorily. “I like that Djurek has finally gotten the perfect reward for his desperation and theft." He said again. "He went about conquering and making Dante look like the idiot who knew that he had been blind all this while. Oh, I can't wait for Dante to emerge victorious and wipe out these disgusting moon servers.” He squeezed his face in disgust as if these people were nothing but trash. “I hate the fact that that bitch was able to plan a counter action to the move Dante and Romeo had planned.” Gareth said, spreading a scroll map on the table.

“We seal the inner camp tighter. Triple guards on Faye. Silver wards on every tent entrance.” I looked at the defector. “You risked death to tell us this. Why?” He met my eyes. “Thorn murdered my sister when she refused the curse. I will not watch him take your daughter too. Kill me after if you want. Just stop him.” I studied him for a long moment. “You live for now. Riven takes him to the healers. He stays under guard. If he speaks the truth he earns a place. If he lies he dies slowly.”

Now someone else had it. Finally putting a leash on his rage, he lowered himself to his seat and took a deep breath. "Were you able to find who the thief is?" he asked in a much calmer voice, a voice that belied the rage boiling within him. "Alpha," Wayland shook his head and quickly proceeded before Talon would flare up again. "We have no idea who the gem thief is, but our spies within Hayden told us it was a werewolf. The Alpha Prince Jade has embarked on a journey to retrieve it, and rumour has it that the Soul Gem and the thief lives in a human city called Northville"

“Our ride is here. Where do you think you are going?” ‘Where do you think you are going’ is the exact question I asked myself the moment I realized I was meant to ride in the second car with Stella. I cower in shame as I make my way over to her. And I hope Christopher didn’t see this foolishness unfold. Who knows what he would think of me? A desperado is the last impression I ever want to imprint of me, in his head. “You don’t ride in the CEO’s car without an invitation from him. I hope you understand that?” Stella tells me with seriousness written all over her face and I make a mental note to never make that kind of mistake again.

“Now I see she made no mistake. Because she gave me a reason to fight for something greater than possession.” Rose looked startled, unsure whether to be wary or moved. “And what’s that?” He met her eyes, and for a fleeting moment, his walls lowered. “Redemption.” I studied him, trying to read the lie but I didn’t see one. Maybe there was a man beneath the mask after all. One who had lost more than I realized. Still, trust wasn’t something I offered freely. “If you stay,” I said slowly, “you stay under my rule. No hidden games. No veiled threats.”
