Ice Queens Need Love Too

CHAPTER SEVEN

Knox's POV

People talked about Aurora Hale like she was some kind of weather phenomenon. Cold. Untouchable. Beautiful in that distant, storm-cloud way.

They called her Ice Queen like it was clever, like they knew her. But they didn’t.They’d just never had the nerve to get close enough to melt anything.

I wasn’t planning to be the next idiot who tried.

I wasn’t going to chase her down the hallway, or sit at her lunch table like a golden retriever with something to prove.

I had long realised how those foolish actions had only made her ice cage colder. Yes, Miles' continuous rumbling in my ears had actually come to good use, and he had told me about the past few stupid goons that had goon after her for their own entertainment.

I hated that stupid nickname that they had shoved onto her. It had been designed as a way for these fools to point figures at someone they didn't understand and then make themselves feel good at their own imperfections.

    Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER ELEVENAurora's POVThe moment Knox had said it, hat he liked me, that all his teasing wasn’t a game but his way of reaching me, I’d frozen. My mind had gone blank, my pulse roaring in my ears so loud I barely heard the rest. And then, before he could say anything else, I’d done the only thing my body seemed capable of.I fled.I didn’t stop until I was safely in my room that night, heart still hammering, his words replaying over and over like some cruel loop I couldn’t escape.“I don’t just want your attention, Aurora. I want to know you. I want to court you.”No one had ever said something like that to me. Not with that raw, unwavering certainty. And Knox, Knox, of all people, was the last I’d expected it from.The first night, I tossed and turned, every time my eyes closed his face flashing in my mind, wet hair falling over his eyes, his voice steady and unshakable. The second night, I caught myself blushing when I remembered the way he’d said the w

    Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER TENAurora POVSomething was oof, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Knox had stopped bothering me and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why. Was it good news? Definitely. But I couldn't help but fell that this euphoria was only going to be short lived and this was one of his pranks he had come up with just to get my attention. However, after a whole week and there wasn't anything, I started to believe that maybe he had finally grown weary of me and had his attention elsewhere. After all even if we shared a few classes, he hadn't spared a glance in my direction. Not even once. It was like everything he had done to draw my attention had ceased to exist. And it made feel better, even though deep down, I didn't want to admit the disappointment that came with the fact that another person had yet given up on me. They often said I'm cold, but maybe, these ice walls were the only thing that was protecting me from ever being hurt again. With

    Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER NINEKnox's POVI watched her flee, and I couldn't help but smile. But even then, I hadn't missed the sudden realization that had dawned in her eyes. That this was the real deal. And that I wasn't backing off in the slightest. Good. I wanted her to realize that those dense walls of ice she had put up were not going to deter me. Not in the least. I had set my eyes on Aurora Hale, and I wouldn't stop until she let me in. I sounded like a creep, I know. But to be honest, I was hooked, from the beginning. I wanted to know her. To be let in. And I don't remember the last time I was interested in a person as I was with her. It was clear as day that she wasn't the type who would open up because I smiled or glanced her way, so budging in was the only way when it came to her. And I wanted her to know it. F**k. I sounded like I was obsessed. And maybe I was, but I didn't care. Aurora was a mystery I had come to crave. She had my full attention without ev

    Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER EIGHTAurora’s POVI felt him before I saw him.That sounded dramatic, even ridiculous. But it’s true. His presence carried a kind of gravity that bent the air ever so slightly when he walked in. Like an unseen shift in atmosphere that made the fine hairs on my arm rise.Knox.Of course it was him.Even with that being true, he had effortlessly made himself a band of fans. They always managed to announce his presence, but even with that awareness and mental preparation, it was never enough. I always held my breath as he walked in. I didn’t lift my head as he entered the room, even though I could hear his steps, that were too casual, too deliberate, and always rushing along the tile floors like a soundtrack designed to crawl under my skin. But I didn’t flinch. I’d made a vow after what happened in the class that day. Ignore him. Pretend he doesn’t exist and erase whatever flicker you felt when he looked at you like he already knew your secrets.And

    Ice Queens Need Love TooCHAPTER SIXAurora's POVI was trying not to look at him, but I believed that the word 'try' was just an understatement. It was taking everything in me not to turn around in this seat and openly glare at him. But it would only make me look like a fool. That morning, and even the day before, I’d made a promise to myself before I stepped through the gates of school. Don’t glance. Don’t wonder. Don’t care. Ignore him. He wasn’t the first boy to notice me. He wasn’t the first to get brave. And he certainly wouldn’t be the first to realize I wasn’t worth the effort.But Knox Blackwood wasn’t like the others, and that was the problem.He hadn’t flinched when I ignored him. Hadn’t sulked or thrown sharp glances across the room like some wounded ego looking for revenge.He didn’t try again. He just... existed. Silently, calmly, like everything under the sky was working out for him, unbothered by the fact that I was deliberately icing him out.And maybe that should’
