LOGINFrost's POV The entire night was torturing. The hormones wouldn't keep rushing like a flood, and neither did the thoughts of Rya vanish completely from my head. I laid for most of the night, turning on my bed, eyes widened but praying for a deep slumber. By morning, the feeling had changed. I began feeling her—feeling her emotions at random hours, in random places. I was training in the field, and there was this certain exhaustion that weighed on my chest throughout. I couldn't just fathom it. That wasn't all. At the moments when she was far away from me, there would be this form of fear gripping me tight, making my heart double in its rhythm. The bond between us wasn't just a memory or a mere feeling. It felt alive, and it was waking slowly. On a certain day, the council held its meeting. I couldn't decipher for what reason was best known to Rya, she insisted that I must be present in the room. Thankfully, I had gotten over the trauma that came with that room. The flashes of the
Frost POVIt was a cool but beautiful evening. The clouds were dark, thick, and heavy, like it would be a heavy downpour. The trees danced as the winds blew through its leaves—soothing but shivering, followed by the rumbling noises in the skies. But it was even more beautiful, especially because Rya had invited me to join her for dinner. It wasn't just the first dinner I had with her since she released me—it was the first we had in years. The large mahogany table separated the both of us. But it didn't restrict my eyes from feeding off her beauty. She was dressed in an elegant stain dress that swept through the floor. It had long sleeves, pleated, with the cleavage intentionally dropped down lower to expose her bright skin and her bosoms. Her makeup was perfect. Her hair was well brushed, and tied into a bun. She had prepared for the night, looking her best... the most ravaging beauty I had ever set eyes on. The space between us was too loud. I yearned to hold her hand, feel her s
Rya's POV"Hey. Can I talk to you?" Lia whispered to me, pulling me by the hand.I had just finished my first official council meeting ever since I became queen. I officially unveiled the moonstone to them just as I had promised to do at my own pace. And as usual, the air in the room was thick. Tension rose as I remade laws and fixed the tiniest loopholes I had noticed in the dealings between the Silver Fang pack and the other packs. Most of the elders seated in the room had their emotions clouding their judgment. And the higher percentage of attendance wanted to pull me down. When the meeting was over, Lia cornered me to the side. She was in a whole different mode—very strange. Perhaps it was all the stress revealed in her countenance. Who knew? Her countenance had changed. She was as stiff as a rock for the very first time. "Is there a problem, Lia?" I was forced to ask. "Why are you trying to hide?" She shot at me. I jerked back for a second. Her question was synonymous with
Frost's POV A few days had passed, and the Alpha's residence was completed. Rya had asked me to move in out of the goodness of her heart. And I didn't hesitate. It was the most impressive masterpiece of a building I had ever seen. She had done her best to make the house well furnished—with chandelier shining brightly from the ceiling, sofas, and a lot more which I couldn't even list. She had some of her maids and guards stationed around the house, always at my beck and call. I was back to comfort, all because of Rya. That sunny afternoon, I intended to feed my eyes with more of the wonders Rya had performed. I started off with a short stroll around the house, and back to the front yard, when I sighted a figure approaching from afar. I halted in my steps, and squinted my eyes to identify who it could be. The walking steps were familiar, and when I strained even harder, I realized who it was. "Billy?" His name slipped through my lips with shock gripping me tight.That was my beta—a
Rya's POVI leapt as I received the flowers Frost sent me, so much so that anyone around would easily think there was something else to it. Oh no, it meant a whole lot to me, especially because it came from himI took it as a sign that something good was beginning to spring up between us. Could it be that he trusted me now? Well, who knows, it may just be mere courtesy and nothing else.I kept staring at the note almost all night. How sweet could this man ever be?I had read the message in his voice. Every syllable, every intonation, every break in his tone only seemed to make the message sweeter, and more penetrating. He saw my efforts, and I saw his. I felt... blessed. The next morning, I had my bath, and also breakfast. I was about to break into the activities of the day, when Oscar met me on my path. "Hello, Rya," he greeted me. I was comfortable with him still calling me by my first name. It didn't matter on his part. "Good morning, Oscar," I said, not breaking in my tracks.
Frost's POV The previous evening came with its own surprise. As I stood to wonder what reasons were buried behind the rebuilding of the Alpha's residence, Lia's footsteps cut through my train of thoughts, distracting me. Her hands were behind her back, like she was hiding something. Her face beamed with this suspicious smile that made me question her sudden visit. "You have a package," she said to me. She pulled out a neatly packed box, with a red ribbon beautifully tied around it, and handed it over to me. "Is this from Rya?" My forehead squeezed as I shook the box slightly. "You guessed right," she answered with a soft chuckle. "Enjoy the rest of your day," she said again and left. A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I watched Lia walk away. What manner of surprise? Who wouldn't guess that the gift came from Rya when it was Lia who brought it?I shook the box multiple times. It was somewhat... light. And again, I was left puzzled at what it could be. But Aspen—my wolf leaped w
