The Alpha’s Cold Snap
"Elena, I don't give a damn about the contract. I want you on your back, claws out, marking me so deep the whole pack knows exactly whose heat is burning in this room."
Sebastian Blackwood is the coldest beast on the ice. As the captain of the Manchester Ice Kings and the heir to the most powerful wolf lineage in the North, he rules with iron-clad discipline and a heart made of permafrost. To the world, he is a god; to Elena Navarro, he is the husband who treats her like a ghost.
For three years, Elena played the perfect Luna. she managed his estate, silenced his critics, and suppressed her own wolf to fit into his gilded cage. It was a marriage born of debt and duty, a political alliance to save her family from ruin. But when she discovers Sebastian is keeping a secret legacy with his first love—a secret that shatters her hope for a family—Elena decides to melt the ice for good.
She’s done being the "convenient" wife. She’s reclaiming her voice as a rising star in the entertainment industry and filing for a divorce that will rock the supernatural world.
But as Elena prepares to walk away, Sebastian’s possessive instincts finally roar to life. The more she pulls away, the more the predator emerges. On the ice, the stakes are high, but in the bedroom, the game is lethal.
When the Alpha finally realizes that his "trophy wife" is the only female capable of matching his fire, will he sign the papers to let her go, or will he hunt her down to prove that once a Blackwood marks you, there is no such thing as freedom?

Chapter: CHAPTER 7My father’s howl over the phone completely decimated the high I’d been riding since my audition."Where the hell are you?" Fernando Navarro didn’t do pleasantries. His voice was a low rumble of authority that usually made the rest of the pack flinch.I wasn’t about to tell him I was planning my escape from the Blackwood lineage. A white lie was my only shield. "I’m at a private training session, Dad. I’ve got some ice-time booked. What’s the emergency?""Nothing that concerns your hockey stats. When you’re finished, get over to the house. Bring Sebastian. A connection of mine just brought in some white truffles from the continent—the rare kind Doña Carmen obsesses over. You’re going to take them to her."The irony was a bitter pill. I’d been his daughter for twenty-five years, and the man couldn't remember if I liked my steak rare or if I was allergic to shellfish. But Sebastian’s grandmother’s culinary whims? He had those indexed.God forbid he miss an opportunity to wag his tail for

Chapter: CHAPTER 6"Sebastian... I was hoping you’d walk the red carpet with me at the European Screen Awards in London next Friday. Would you? Just for old times' sake?"Valentina Cruz’s voice was like silk over the phone, a familiar melody that used to be the only thing that could calm my wolf. I stayed silent for a heartbeat, the hum of the Blackwood Group Tower vibrating through my office windows."Oh—right," she said, her tone dipping into that practiced, fragile disappointment. "I keep forgetting. You’re the Alpha of the North now, the captain of the Ice Kings. Unless I book your time a month in advance, you’re untouchable. And of course... you have a mate. A 'Luna' to consider."She let out a soft, melodic sigh that hit me right in the gut. I never liked being the reason Valentina sounded small. I’d already done that once when I let the pack elders chase her out of Manchester three years ago so I could marry Elena Navarro and secure the Blackwood inheritance."Valentina, next Friday is the playof

Chapter: CHAPTER 5"Deadly multi-wolf pileup on Redbridge Overpass..."I barely managed to read the first few lines of the digital news alert—fatalities, pack children injured, dozens of omegas and deltas caught in the wreckage—before my stomach lurched. I swiped the notification into oblivion. I wasn’t ready to process a tragedy I had barely escaped myself, especially when the phantom pain in my ribs was a constant reminder of the metal-on-metal scream of the collision. What stung worse than the physical trauma was the cold realization that Sebastian had looked me in the eye and lied about being at the Blackwood Tower while he was actually playing guardian to Valentina."Her fan-wolves are completely feral," Mason said, sliding his tablet across the kitchen island. "Look at this circus."I scrolled through the social media feeds. While the Manchester packs were in mourning, Valentina’s followers had hijacked every comment section with prayers for their "Golden Luna"—who, according to the reports, had w

Chapter: CHAPTER 4"I told you to call her, not to give me a look like I’ve lost my mind, Teresa!"I paced the length of the dining hall at the Blackwood Estate, my boots echoing against the cold stone floor. The house manager, Teresa, stood trembling by the sideboard, her eyes darting toward the shattered remains of my smartphone on the rug. I’d slammed it down the moment I read the first page of the documents left in the guest wing."Due to the husband's sexual dysfunction and infertility, the marriage has irretrievably broken down."The words were a snarl on the page, a direct insult to my status as the Alpha and captain of the Manchester Ice Kings. My jaw was locked so tight I could feel the pulse thumping in my temple.Dysfunction? Infertility?I slammed the papers onto the Macassar ebony table. The nerve of that woman. Had she forgotten the way she’d gripped my shoulders three nights ago? I had marked her, claimed her, and made her scream my name until her voice gave out. Her body had been a wildf

Chapter: CHAPTER 3"You look like you've been run over by a rogue Zamboni, Elena. And don't you dare tell me you're fine," Mason muttered, his eyes fixated on the bandage at my temple.I’d been crashing at Mason’s for three days, and the silence from the Blackwood Estate was deafening. Sebastian hadn't called. He hadn't texted. It was classic Sebastian—if it wasn't about hockey or pack business, it didn't exist. I should have been scouring the Leeds area for a new apartment, but I needed to secure my alimony first. If my father, Fernando, caught wind of the split before the funds were locked down, he’d yank the life support from my mother at St. Mary’s faster than a wolf on a scent.I had to confront him. I suspected the staff at the estate—probably under Doña Carmen’s orders—had fed my divorce papers to the shredder. I grabbed my keys and jumped into my SUV. Technically, it was still pack property, but since the ink wasn't dry on the separation, it was mine for the taking.Merging onto the Redbridge Ov

Chapter: CHAPTER 2"So… how was last night with the Ice King?"I looked up from my untouched latte as Mason Clarke practically vibrated in the chair opposite me. We were at the Iron Brew Café in Manchester, a place where the scent of roasted beans usually masked the heavy musk of the local pack members who frequented it. Today, even the strongest espresso couldn't hide the scent of my own misery. I had spent the night in the guest wing of the Blackwood Estate, staring at the ceiling until the sun bled through the curtains. Sebastian had left for morning practice at the arena before dawn; I hadn't even heard his car pull away."Did you finally crack that glacier?" Mason leaned in, his eyes bright with that relentless curiosity. "Should I be looking for tiny hockey skates or a baby wolf onesie yet? Give me the scorching details, Elena."I took a slow, painful sip of my drink, the liquid scalding my throat. "The only thing that caught fire last night was my dignity, Mason. It’s over.""Wait, what?" Mason’s
