Ice Queens Need Love Too

CHAPTER FOUR

Knox's POV

The bell had barely stopped ringing when I walked into the classroom. My first day at mom's old school, and it already felt like I’d stepped into a slower, dustier version of the world I used to know.

Everything here moved differently. Quieter. Stiffer. Like the air was thicker or the rules were older.

I muttered my name to the teacher and was pointed to the back of the class. No one really looked at me—, just the usual half-second glances students give when they’re bored and curious but don’t care enough to commit.

And then I saw her.

She was sitting near the window, her back straight, chin slightly tilted, like she didn’t even know there were other people in the room.

Her.

The same girl I’d seen yesterday from the car window. The one I thought maybe I’d imagined. Hair like ink in sunlight. Skin like cold marble. Eyes distant, almost bored, like she was tuned to a frequency the rest of us couldn’t hear.

Aurora.

    Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER THREEKnox's POVMy legs were cramped in the backseat and my hoodie sleeves were shoved over my fists. My forehead rested against the cold window, like it would knock some sense into me.This car ride had been silent for the last twenty minutes, and honestly, I was grateful. The lectures had stopped yesterday after the “welcome” dinner at my grandparents’ house.The atmosphere had been lukewarm, a mild stew and tighter smiles. Even grandpa and grandma had been unsuccessful from cooling mom and dad's anger. But now, I think they were quite worn out. I even believed dad was tired of being mad. I closed my eyes and replayed the principal's words from last week like they’re a damn record on loop.“Knox, you’ve left us no choice.”Expelled. The words still tasted sour in my mouth. I deserved it,I know that. At least 70% of that was my fault. The other 30% was my defense. Anyway, none of that meant I wanted to be here, in some middle-of-nowhere town, far

    Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER TWOKnox's POV~7 days earlier~"Knox Sean Blackwood."As soon as I heard my mom's yell from downstairs, I sprang out from bed and set myself to rights. I was in deep trouble this time. But I was sure I could get an excuse to bail myself out. Mom didn't even bother knocking as she barged inside my bedroom, the fury on her face as clear as the su at the noon hour. Right behind her was my dad, who looked calm on the surface, but I knew otherwise. They were both angry, and I believed that maybe I was being a little too cocky on the bailing myself out of this part. I swallowed. Maybe I was in for some serious lashing this time. I had messed up real bad. Mom had been invited to receive an award for being one of the most influential women under the age of fifty to receive an award in LA, and naturally, dad had accompaniedaccompanied her. Having turned eighteen earlier this year, that hadn't worried about leaving the house. But of course, being the boy

    Ice Queens Need Love Too CHAPTER ONE Aurora's POV There’s a specific kind of silence that followed me wherever I went, like people lowered their voices just to make their whispers sharper. And today was no different, just like everyday, since that disastrous day in the past. I, however, had grown used to this. I glided through the cafeteria like a ghost in my own school. My tray was nearly empty, just a bottle of water and an apple I wouldn't eat. I took my usual spot, a corner table, second from the left. No one ever sat here. No one ever tried or dared. Unless they wanted to be the next target of bullying from Kristy and the rest of the school. After all, everyone had United and singled me out. They had all made up their minds up about me. Aurora Hale. The Ice Queen. Too beautiful to approach. Too cold to love. Too smart to bother. And to selfish to consider other's feelings. I had heard it all. The cruel whispers behind my back, just within earshot, like they wa

    Ice Queens Need Love TooPrologueAurora's POV~Thirteen years old~"I can't believe you did this to me."Kristy yelled, tears slowly beginning to stream down her dainty face. Pomegranate fruit punch dripped from my face, staining the white dress that I wore. A pink-maroonish patch was now forming on it, and I was positive that it was going to be a permanent stain. I thought about the trouble that I was probably going to get into when I was back home, but that wasn't really important at the moment, because, my best friend Kristy was currently hurling insults at me like her life depended on it. I didn't understand, but boy was in for a surprise. And it came, a few seconds later. "You're so wicked. After being nice to you and trusting you, you went ahead and confessed your feelings to Noah. Right after I told you that I was going to confess him. And you had to do this on my birthday. "I frozen on the spot, because I had never suffered such a shock before, especially in all my thirt

    Happily Ever AfterEpilogueAlexa's POVThe backyard was a beautiful kind of chaos.Balloons bobbed in the breeze, strung in colorful clusters around the white tent posts. Streamers glittered in the sun, and the scent of chocolate cake, grilled burgers, and fresh lemonade danced in the air. Kids screamed and laughed as they chased each other across the lawn, sticky-fingered and full of sugar. And somewhere in the distance, Devon was trying to coax Knox down from the tree he’d bravely decided to climb. Again. I stifled a laugh. But right in the center of it all, stood my first little miracle. Carissa Jane Blackwood. Nine years old today.My heart tightened, in the best possible way, watching her laugh with Theo as they raced toward the bouncy castle, hair tied in pigtails flying, her pink tutu bouncing, and a sparkly tiara nearly slipping off her head.God, she looked so much like Devon. The same dimples, the same determined look in her eye when she set her sights on something, for e
