Rylan's POV

I almost can't believe my ears. I stare—really stare at him. But the expression on this face didn't change. It didn't harden like they always do anytime he saw me in the past. If anything.... It's soften.

Is this a trick of my mind or I'm just hallucinating.

Son?

Like SON?

He's never ever called me that. Although he's not as vile as Nerissa but he's never acted like a real father to me either. All he did was watch Nerissa and River make my life a living hell and then acted on every lies they told against me.

I didn't say a word; I can't. Everything still seems like a dream to me.

When I ran off from Winterfell, I was determined never to return there but I do not expect that father would receive me back home like this, especially with his hard tone over the phone earlier.

Then he stands, and that is when I see his face properly. Still handsome and powerful as ever. He walk towards me in slow, deliberate steps with his sapphire robe trailing behind and stand few steps away

  • ENTANGLED WITH THE CURSED ICE PRINCE    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-TWO

    Rylan’s POVBy the time I’m done explaining everything to Father, his mouth is wide open. He looks like he can’t believe his ears.Finally, he clears his throat. “Lira is a good woman, son,” he says softly, his voice dripping with admiration. “She is so selfless—to the point of sacrificing her happiness for you. Only a few women can do that.”I let out a bitter scoff. “No, Father. Lira is anything but selfless. She did not think about my feelings when she made that decision. She wasn’t afraid of losing me at all.”“But she wanted your progress,” he retorts, his voice so defensive that one would think he is Lira’s lawyer. “She must have known what would happen if River became king, so she acted promptly to prevent that. Trust me… when I say she must have had it worse—seeing the man she loves engaged to another woman.”Father’s words make sense, but still… she should have discussed it with me before taking such a drastic step.“So what should I do now? Should I claim her back or let her

    Rylan’s POVWhat?!Instantly, the blood in my body runs cold. My chest pounds loudly as the words sink straight into my mind. My hands press harder against the door, as if it is the only thing tethering me to sanity.Lira knows that Alpha Magnus would only help me become Alpha if I married his daughter.How did she know?And that is why she broke up with me—just so I would marry Seraphina.Of course. That has to be it.Everything happened so fast that I still can’t understand it all. One moment, we were enjoying the banquet, laughing and fucking each other like there would be no next time, and the next day, she dropped a letter informing me that I was making her life difficult.Does it even make sense that she went through so much with me, only to suddenly decide to break up because I made her life difficult?Luna continues, “But you still love him, don’t you? And of course, the fact that he didn’t talk about breaking your bond means that he must still love you too.”Despite how hard

    Rylan’s POV“…. I’m in love with you, Rylan Grayson. I want you to be my husband and Alpha.”At first, I can’t believe my ears, but slowly… her words settle in, and I don’t realise when I burst into laughter. It is sharp, mocking, and taunting.“You said you love me?” Even repeating the words is cringy. “Someone who could hardly stay in the same space with me less than a week ago now suddenly tolerates me and also claims to love me. Do you even know what you’re talking about, Seraphina?”She nods. “Yes. I love you.” She shifts forward. “I swear, I do love you. You are the only man I have ever loved in my entire life.”“Why do you love me?” I ask again. “There has to be a reason, isn’t there?”She sighs softly. “I already told you earlier. I said you are kind, caring—”“No!” I snap back. “I need a real reason!” My voice attracts the attention of other customers.She doesn’t speak immediately. She just looks frustrated by the fact that I can’t believe her. As she parts her lips to speak

    Rylan's POVI walk into the restaurant—Elara’a Cuisine—another top restaurant in Moonfang with over a hundred years of history. Seraphina Graves asked us to meet here for reasons I don’t know. She has broken the engagement, so what else does she want again?All through the week, I expected that Alpha Magnus would have informed Dad about it, who would then have asked me what happened in turn—but nothing.The wedding is supposed to happen in the next two weeks if we are still interested, and now that none of us is saying anything, yet the wedding preparations are still ongoing by both Alphas. I wonder what would happen if our parents realise on the wedding morning that we are not together anymore.Today, I will try to speak to Father about it. With everything that has happened with Lira, I’m too ashamed to tell my father that this didn’t work out again, because at this rate, I’m sure he would think of me as the problem. And Father would be worried again about how I would become king wit

  • ENTANGLED WITH THE CURSED ICE PRINCE    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-EIGHT

    Author's POVOn a bench in a nearby park, Lira and River sit side by side. After a long moment of thick, suffocating silence, River finally clears his throat.“I’m sorry,” he says softly, his voice heavy with guilt. “I know everything that happened to your family is because of me.” He turns toward her, his gaze softer and more genuine than she has ever seen. “I’m sorry you had to go through all this shit because of my selfish desire to have you back.”In the past few weeks since everything happened, Lira has blamed River more times than she can count. In fact, she has hated him. But now, hearing his genuine apology, her heart softens.She smiles faintly. “It’s okay, River. You don’t have to blame yourself for something you had no control over.”“No, I caused it, Lira,” he insists. “If I hadn’t chased you relentlessly, then Chloe wouldn’t have framed your mother, and you wouldn’t have had to work so hard to provide for yourself and Lucien.”“I’m fine with working hard.” Lira looks down

    Rylan’s POVThe moment Lira left earlier, Rylan did not waste any time sending a message to his private investigator, asking him to find out everything that had happened to Lira’s family and the reason she had dropped out of college to take up a job instead.Damn!How did he completely lose track of everything happening in the pack—so much that he hadn’t even checked up on his best friend, Lucien, anymore?Lira sighs, clearly uncomfortable around him, especially with the way her wolf is acting up. She just wants to fucking leave and crash on her bed.And yet, she doesn’t believe for a second that she’s only just learning about her family’s situation when the news had blown up everywhere. He has probably forgotten about her and is only acting like he cares because their paths crossed again. She folds her arms and turns toward him.“So?” she asks nonchalantly. “Now that you know what happened to my family, what are you going to do about it?”Rylan isn’t expecting that response from her,
