MasukCorinne POVMy father stood in front of us firmly, his eyes locked on mine. He raised his hand and pointed to the ground, like he was asking me to sit. I did not sit. I stayed standing beside Glacier, my hand still locked in his, the twins sleeping peacefully in his arms.“I will show you the past, Corinne.” Luke said in a calm but firm voice. “Not words… your real memories.”I did not understand how he would do it, but the moment he closed his eyes, a sharp pressure hit my head. Like a wall breaking. The memories rushed in violently.I saw myself… in a room. Glacier standing in front of me, his face cold.“You are not leaving this place until I say so.”He was locking me in. Keeping me inside. I was crying, hitting the door… and he would not open it.Then another memory hit. The coronation day. I was wearing a beautiful white dress, excited. But Glacier… blocked my wolf. He stopped me from shifting. I stood in front of everyone powerless, unable to show my strength. People looked at
Corinne POVGlacier barely slept. I could feel the tension in his body all night, like he was preparing for a war.Early in the morning, we gathered the twins quietly. Lucy and Lucas, the little ones with blue eyes just like Glacier’s, were sleeping in his arms. I held his hand tightly, my heart beating hard.“Where are we going?” I whispered as we stepped out of the house.“To the truth.” he answered in a calm but frightening voice. “I won’t hide anything anymore. Luke and Vanessa know we are here… and they will come.”We didn’t go far. We stood in the open field behind the house, where the forest met the wide land. The sun was slowly rising, casting golden light over the sleeping twins in Glacier’s arms.Then we heard it.Cars stopping. Doors closing.Luke appeared first. Tall. Broad shoulders. His eyes full of controlled anger. Beside him was Vanessa, her face pale, her hands shaking slightly as she held her bag.Glacier stood right in front of them, the twins still in his arms, me
Corinne POV“I am your mate… the daughter you raised…”The room spun around me. I grabbed his arm tightly, afraid I would fall into a bottomless void. My tears would not stop. They grew heavier, like they were pulling my whole body down. Every piece of the story he was telling now started connecting with the dreams that had been haunting me for weeks… for months.“I… I am the child?” I whispered weakly through my sobs, afraid that speaking louder would break the truth apart.Glacier did not answer right away. He only looked at me with eyes full of everything he had never been able to say before. Love. Regret. Fear of losing me.“Yes.” His voice was calm, almost frighteningly calm. “You are her, Corinne. The girl I named before you were born. The child who became my daughter… and then I discovered she was my destined mate.”I tightened my grip on his hands. My nails dug into his skin without me realizing. “But… my father… Luke… he said you are dangerous like he said… that you… you are
Corinne POVThis time, my sleep wasn’t as deep as I thought it would be.It was quiet… and I slowly opened my eyes.The room was dark, except for a thin line of faint light slipping through the window. But what caught my attention… wasn’t the light.It was Glacer.He was sitting on the edge of the bed, his back to me, his shoulders tense like the weight of the whole world was resting on them.I watched him in silence.He didn’t move. He didn’t turn.He just sat there… like he was fighting a war inside himself."Glacer…" I whispered, my voice still heavy with sleep.His body froze for a second… then he took a deep, slow breath, like he was gathering courage."Did I wake you?" he asked without turning.I shook my head lightly, even though he couldn’t see me. "No… but you didn’t sleep."Silence. Long seconds passed… then finally, he turned to me.And his eyes… I had never seen that mix before.Fear… pain… and something else… something that felt like goodbye."Corinne…" He said my name li
Corinne POVThe doctor smiled gently and said, "No poisoning. Nothing serious. You’re just extremely exhausted, and your body is begging for rest."I kept staring at her, trying to take in what she said, my chest rising and falling slowly."Exhausted...?" I whispered.She nodded with understanding, sliding the test results toward us. "After giving birth, with lack of sleep and constant stress, this is very normal. Dizziness, nausea, fatigue… they’re all signs your body can’t keep going like this."A strange weight settled in my chest. It wasn’t poisoning. But that didn’t make it better. If anything, it felt more real.Glacier tightened his grip on my hand, like his words were choking inside him before they could come out. "Does she need medicine? Anything to help her?"The doctor gave a calm, reassuring smile. "The only medicine is rest. Enough sleep, good food, and taking care of herself."Then she looked straight at me, her eyes serious this time. "If you keep going like this, your
Corinne POVThe wind played with our hair while our hearts pounded hard, our eyes locked together with burning warmth as we stood before a view too beautiful for words.Days kept passing, and we were still busy caring for our two babies. I woke up feeling sluggish on Sunday morning, the first day of May. My body felt wrong. My stomach twisted, and I wanted to throw up.I tried to tell myself it was nothing serious, just a passing sickness. But the strange tight feeling in my stomach grew worse with every minute."Could I have poisoned myself?"Last night, I took expired headache pills. I did not even check the date until it was too late."What is wrong with you?"My husband asked in confusion while lying beside me on his side. He knew about the pills, but I had told him not to worry because I did not feel any pain in my stomach.I turned my head toward him and answered like it was no big deal."These are poisoning symptoms for sure. I'll run to the bathroom."I was about to get out of
Glacier POV"Glacier, Mason Carter wants to see you!"Youssi’s voice cut through my silence. She came to tell me that Mason was here. I let out a heavy sigh, feeling anger bubble up in my chest. I couldn't believe a little brat like him was coming to face me now.Mason Carter walked into my office
Corrine POVAlpha Drake eyes didn't blink. He said in a low voice empty of any mercy:"If you jump... I will burn your pack."He continued as he got closer, threatening cruelly: "If you jump, I will kill that bastard Glacier. I will torture him and make his soul scream in pain!"My eyes widened in
Corrine POV"To hell with Glacier! You keep saying his name and threatening me!"My breathing was fast. It wasn't a shiver of fear; it was a tense determination boiling in my veins. I was refusing a fate written in the ink of instinct without my permission.Drake was in front of me. His tensed body
Celine MontgomeryTwo years ago..."Glacier, where are you, Glacier?"I called out, my voice full of wonder as I searched everywhere for him. I headed to his room, but it was empty. I noticed clothes neatly laid out on his bed, so I figured he was showering. Not even a minute passed before he stepp
