When Fire Meets Ice
Eli Rayes is everything Frieda Frost hates: Rich, arrogant, emotionally unavailable, and adored by everyone. With perfect grades, a promising hockey career, and a reputation as the school's golden boy, he seems to have life handed to him on a silver platter.
Unlike her, who has to struggle for everything.
Fierce, stubborn, and determined to escape the financial mess her family is drowning in, Frieda has spent years working toward the Global Excellence Scholarship. She is determined not to let anyone stand in her way. Not her classmates, not her teachers, and definitely not the hot hockey player who couldn't take his eyes off her.
She wants this scholarship more than anyone else. But unfortunately, Eli wants it too.
What starts as academic sabotage quickly turns into an all-out war.
Humiliating pranks.
Rumors.
Public arguments.
Neither of them is willing to back down.
But things became far more complicated when their parents announced they were dating.
Forced into each other's lives outside school, Frieda and Eli discover that beneath the insults and endless battles lies a dangerous attraction neither of them can ignore.
But with jealous exes, hidden family secrets, betrayals, and a scholarship only one of them can win, falling in love may be the biggest mistake they ever make.
After all, when fire meets ice, someone is bound to get burned.

Chapter: Chapter~9FRIEDA: I was elated because it was Thursday. My shift always ended early, which meant, I had a lot of time to recharge before my next shift. As soon as classes ended for the day, I hurried to carry my books. I couldn't wait to ditch my 'so-called' study partner. "Where are you in a hurry to?" He asked.I rolled my eyes and looked at him. He had his brow raised. "What is it?" I felt annoyed just by the fact that he was talking to me. “Don’t act dumb, Frosty. Remember we have to submit our study report tomorrow to Mr. Rhodes? Don’t tell me you forgot.”“Damn,” I groaned. “Isn’t there any way we can just fake something and give it to him?” I suggested. “Isn’t that new?” He asked, amusement laced in his voice. “I didn't expect Miss Perfect to suggest faking anything.”“Miss Perfect? Where did that come from? Besides, the feeling is mutual. It’s not like you want to study with me.” I stood up, flinging my bag over my shoulder. “I definitely don’t want to but I have no choice. And

Chapter: Chapter~8ELI: By the time I got out of the shower, everyone was gone. Almost everyone. Zayn sat on the bench, his gaze on the floor as if he were buried in thoughts."Why haven't you left?" I asked in a cold tone. He looked up, a small smile touching his lips. "You sure took your time in there." The laugh that followed was small but enough to make me think he wasn't here just to wait for me. I raised a brow, impatiently waiting for him to say what was on his mind. He stood up, one hand in his pocket and the other combing through his hair. He looked like a character drawn from a manga page, with midnight black hair, emerald green eyes, and broad shoulders. Aside from me, he was the most handsome guy I had come across in the school. "Frieda," He said. Not her again. "I want to know what you meant by them leaving her name out of their mouths." "What's there to know? What I said meant nothing." I quickly tried to deflect by walking to my locker and pulling out my grey pants and black T

Chapter: Chapter~7FRIEDA: 5 — 4I stared blankly at Eli as he skated across the ice with impossible speed, cutting through defenders like they were standing still. The arena lights reflected off his black helmet while the number on his jersey flashed every time he turned. I didn't want to be here. I hated the deafening roar of the crowd. I hated as the students packed on the stands, waving banners and chanting the team's name like they were at some kind of religious gathering. The smell of popcorn, cold air, and sweat mixed made my stomach turn.It was as though I was reliving a terrible event. One that had scarred my heart so badly that it was now hard to forget. But I couldn't refuse when Chloe invited me to watch the game. She said she wanted to support Eli and even though we were enemies, I still went with her. We hadn't even discussed what happened at the party. Why was Eli standing behind me? Why was Chloe there too? I was blank, confused, curious. I wanted to ask Chloe but I hadn't found t

Chapter: Chapter~6ELI: Tranquility was the order of the evening. None of us spoke a word. Frosty looked outside the window the entire time and I focused on the road. I did have a question about what her mother meant by 'work' but I wasn't going to let my curiosity deceive me anymore. Who knew what nice thing or word might come of me? Three was enough to make my stomach churn. A few minutes passed by and we were almost at the party venue. I could already hear the music blasting from the speakers. "Stop here," She said, "I don't want anyone to see me with you."Matter-of-factly, the feeling was mutual. I rolled my eyes and stopped the car while she got out, ditching the jacket on the seat. Of course, it had my name on it. Why would she wear it? The last thing I wanted people to think was that I had anything to do with her. Yeah... The party. I had wanted to unwind, drink, laugh, get wild, get laid—probably. But now, I was forced to look after Frosty. Why didn't the little demon just stay at hom

Chapter: Chapter~5ELI: It was bad enough that my father insisted I follow him to his girlfriend's place.I wanted to stay home and rest properly before it was time for the party but he had to spoil my plans. And the worst part, I couldn't do anything about it. He was my father, my provider, and everything in between. I hated myself for having to rely on such a control freak. But it was more terrible finding out Frosty was going to be my stepsister. I would rather slit my throat and die than call her 'sister'. "Honey, why don't you take a shower and come out for dinner?" Her mother said. She still hadn't broken her gaze from mine. She was as surprised as I was. Fate really hated me. A controlling father. A condescending brother. A fake would-be step-sister. It was all too much for one person. Frosty stormed out of the dining room. She probably wasn't going to come out of her room until we left, which was totally fine by me. It wasn't that I liked seeing her around. "This world is really such a sma

Chapter: Chapter~4FRIEDA: I went to my normal hideout, where everyone avoided. The storage room was my personal space, where I hid from everyone and everything, even my books. I was exhausted and needed some sort of rest. My eyes were itchy and my body, heavy. I set up several alarms before lying down to sleep. That spot was my comfort place, where I usually lay my tired body almost every day. My bed barely saw me, especially during weekends. Not when I was either studying or—I felt a tap under my foot. Nobody had set foot in the old storage room in ages, not even the janitors. Maybe I was still dreaming. The tap came again, forcing me out of the sleep realm. My eyes were still heavy but I managed to open them. Who was it? I sat up, holding my head. It was as though it wanted to fall off due to migraine I was having. I didn't even eat before sleeping. I could only see the feet of the person who had woken me up. I couldn't lift my head properly without feeling dizzy. "Are you going to sit there a

Chapter: Chapter 13 - Locked awayAlina's Pov: “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Alpha.” He clicked his tongue and relaxed back in his seat. “I’m sure you have a degree in lying. It’s the only thing you’re good at.” I swallowed. Did he really find out what I had asked Sophy for or was he trying to get words out of me? “Start talking and maybe I might just have mercy on you.” He was threatening me but I wasn’t buying into it. He could just be bluffing, for all I know. He probably knew nothing. But the look on Sophy's face said otherwise. “Listen, liar princess,” He stood and walked up to me. He looked calm but lethal. In a split second, he grabbed my neck, squeezing the air out of my lungs. “You do not have any right to take your life,” He growled. “You and your entire existence now belong to me.” He squeezed so hard I thought I would pass out. ‘But isn’t that what you want?’ I was reminded, once again, by my subconscious. I didn’t bother fighting his grip. I stood still, waiting for my body to stop b

Chapter: Chapter 12 - caught in the actAlina's Pov: I hadn’t seen the Alpha all day. He had gone to work, and I had spent the entire day sleeping in my room. And the first thing I was greeted with was an official letter inviting me to the coronation of my ex-mate who was about to be made Alpha. “What?!” I couldn’t believe the golden letter in front of me. It made my head spin. The elders didn’t even wait a month or two before choosing someone else. It was as though I never even existed in the first place. I grabbed the letter with trembling fingers, my heart failing me at each word I read. I was sure Claire had a hand in this invitation. Darius would never want to invite me, knowing that he married my stepsister instead of me. No, he wouldn’t. “Don’t be in denial, princess.” Alpha Kain's deep voice tugged me back to reality. “It’s happening, and you’re going to be there.” “I’m not going,” I managed to control myself and dropped the letter. “I am never stepping foot in that pack. I left everything behind the moment w

Chapter: Chapter 11 - UnexpectedAlina's Pov: "Never anticipate any form of affection from me even though we're married. I will never like or love you." "Keep your nose out of my business. Don't wander about in my room or my office." "Do not wander around at night for your safety." Alpha Kain's words echoed in my head all through breakfast. Was I really a wife or a pet? Even pets got some degree of affection from their owners, so no, I was worse than a pet. "What am I even thinking? Alpha Kain can never like anyone. He even killed his father and his previous wives. How can a killing machine like that ever give love?" "Luna, is there anything else you need?" A maid came to my side, bowing. I was used to this sort of treatment back at home. But here? I didn't plan to. "Please, call me Alina. And no, thank you, I'm okay." I nervously looked at my plate. There was still lots of food left and I didn't think I could finish it. "Oh no, I couldn't. Alpha Kain would not be very happy about it when he hears it." Guess

Chapter: Chapter 10 - InvitationKain's Pov: I felt enraged, seeing as she walked inside the dining hall. It wasn't because she had done anything wrong. It was because of the detail that had been missed concerning her white hair. I hated being in the dark about anything whatsoever. After I had given my set of rules, Zion appeared at the entrance. I didn't even wait to have my breakfast before storming out. I had more important things to attend to. "Why didn't you wait to finish breakfast with her?" I knew Zion was going to ask. We were now walking toward the car, one of my latest achievements. A black sleek vehicle that had been gotten from the human world. Quite convenient for very long distances. "I don't see how any of that is your business." He opened the door and I got in. He followed after me and shut the door. "She's your wife," "Good. You get the point. MINE. All the more reason you should stop putting your nose in my business, Zion."Although he was my beta, he was still my best friend. He was the on

Chapter: Chapter 9 - ConditionsAlina's Pov: My body felt weak from last night's events. My mate bond with Darius had now been broken. I was now completely free from him. It was a painful moment, but it only lasted a few seconds. But it still hurts in my heart. He was one of the two people I considered family after my mother passed on. My father left me for his mistress and their child. I was more or less alone in this world now. My wedding night with Alpha Kain was uneventful. Never had it been heard of that a marriage was not consummated on the wedding night. I guess he wasn't interested in me but in my sister. Why wasn't he fighting for her then? I looked around the room. It was much brighter than when I had arrived, thanks to the morning sun. I didn't know what the environment was like, but there was one thing I knew for sure: This place was crawling with different kinds of monsters. Being a rogue pack, all monsters who broke out of their original clans were here. It was their only safe space. My stomac

Chapter: Chapter 8 - Alpha and LunaDarius' Pov: When I opened my eyes, I saw Alina lying down beside me. I thought I was dreaming. How was it possible that she was with me?I reached out to touch her face, only for Claire's image to replace Alina's face. I withdrew my hand and carefully sat up. I wiped my face with my palms, groaning lightly. Why was I still thinking about Alina? Last night, after I had opened the letter, I read through it. It was a rejection letter from Alina. I was furious. How dare she reject me? I was about to tear the letter in two when it started burning. And a moment later, our mate tie was severed. For good. I could no longer feel her presence but she had never left my mind.I still dreamt about her and she was calling out to me to save her. And now that I was awake, she was all that occupied my mind. "What's wrong, Darius? Isn't it too early to be awake?" Claire's voice rang in my head. I turned to find her half-awake. I saw the mark on her neck. I had marked her last night after my mate
