Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER FIFTEEN-EXTRA 2The watcherThe late-afternoon light slanted through the high windows of the commons, throwing long amber bars across scuffed linoleum. Clusters of students sprawled on couches or hovered near the vending machines, voices weaving together in a low, restless hum.From a seat tucked back against the wall, they watched. Knox leaned against the frame of the science wing door, easy smile tugging at his mouth as Aurora approached. She kept her gaze cool, almost aloof, but there was a fraction of a second, barely there when her shoulders softened, like she was letting herself breathe near him.That tiny shift snagged in the watcher’s chest like a hook. So she hadn’t learned after last time. She was letting him in.The notebook in front of them blurred. They forced themselves to focus, flipping a blank page and uncapping a pen as cover. Inside, a different current moved: sharp, electric, dangerous.They rose slowly, slipping into the current

Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER FIFTEEN-EXTRAThird Person POVThe science building had gone quiet, its fluorescent lights humming dully above rows of empty tables. Most students had already fled into the evening, but someone lingered in the corner of the hall, back pressed to the wall where shadows softened the edges of their outline.They hadn’t meant to stay. Something had made them stay...forced them to stay. Curiosity had rooted them there. Not only curiosity, but the low, steady murmur of Knox’s voice as well. What could we say, the young man was not only handsome, but mesmerizing as well. He was charming, and pleasant to look at. Through the narrow glass pane of the classroom door, they caught sight of him. A smile began to spread across their face, until they realized he wasn’t alone. Aurora, the Ice Queen, was inside with him as well. The person nearly hissed, but controlled her emotions not to blow her cover. She couldn't let them know she was watching. Aurora, obliviou

Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER FIFTEENAurora's POVBy Thursday, the week’s rhythm had started to settle, but nothing was new. They were all just the same patterns. Classes, kid's chatter and gossip, and not so surprisingly,Knox's ever growing popularity and the whispers that followed him down the hall. When we crossed paths, I tried to keep my head down, but somehow my focus always drifted toward him. It didn't matter where we were. The moment he walked into a room, my head would spring up. It always left a familiar but yet strange feeling in my heart. Now, in English, I sat with my notebook open, copying lines from the board. The teacher droned about old century English and French plays, paper rustled, someone’s pen clicked too loudly, and so many other sounds that buzzed in the room. Out of the corner of my eye, Knox slid into the empty desk beside mine. He didn’t ask if it was taken. He just moved with quiet certainty, like he’d known I wouldn’t send him away.Well, not tha

Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER FOURTEENKnox's POVThe handshake still hummed through my fingers, even days after we had struck a deal after we left the shadow of the science block.At the moment, Aurora sat two rows in front of me, and I was counting down the minutes till class ended so we could talk again. I had no idea a smile had spread across my face as I day dreamed, that's until Miles leaned forward, whispering, "I wonder what you could be thinking about that's got you in good mood right now. ""Wouldn't you like to know? "He smirked back. " I bet it's Aurora Hale. ""Oh puhlease. Like you haven't been cheesing all day long about Mikayla Ellison and how you two are going on a second date. ""Hey. Not cool. Don't tease me. " Miles acted like be wasn't affected, but I didn't miss his red neck that he his under his long curls. I huffed in satisfaction, but didn't tease him any further. As soon as class ended, I chased after Aurora. "Do mind if we go talk somewhere private? "

Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER THIRTEEN Aurora’s POVI met Knox behind the science block the next day, where we had agreed to meet up. Today's rain had finally let up, but it still clung to the concrete in thin silver streaks. By the time I showed up, Knox was already there. He was leaning against the low brick wall, hands shoved in the pockets of his jacket, watching the steam rise from a paper cup of coffee. He looked maddeningly unbothered, like he hadn’t spent a week lurking at the edges of my thoughts.I wondered if he had any idea how maddening that had been. I stopped a careful distance from him, crossing my arms. He smiled, waving, as soon as he saw me. “Before we start… whatever this is, I need to make something clear. Ground rules before we can progress any further.”One of his brows ticked upward. “Go on.”“I’m not a puzzle you get to pry open just because you’re curious,” I said, forcing my voice to stay steady. “If we’re going to spend time together, I need space.

Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER TWELVEKnox's POVThe rain was merciless. Cold needles pelting my skin, seeping through my clothes, dripping into my eyes. But I didn’t move.I just stood there, staring at the space she’d vanished into.Aurora hadn’t simply walked away, she’d bolted. Her hair whipping behind her, her shoulders rigid, like being near me was something unbearable. Like I’d cornered her, suffocated her, without even meaning to. She ran so fast, like the plague was chasing after her. That image burned itself into me.I had thought I was clever, that pushing past her walls with quiet persistence was the only way to reach her. I’d convinced myself she wasn’t really afraid, just cautious, just unaccustomed to someone refusing to leave her alone.But the way she’d looked at me before fleeing… that wasn’t guardedness. That was panic.And it hit me like a punch to the ribs. I, after all, had gone too far. God. What the hell was I doing?I’d told myself this wasn’t a game, that
