Ronan's howl echoed across the mountains, and my blood turned to ice.

"He found us," I whispered. "How?"

Stellan's jaw tightened. "The bond. It's weak, but it's there. He can sense you—especially when you're scared."

I was scared. Terrified. But as I looked at the wolves pouring over the ridge, I felt something else too: anger. After everything—the escape, the river, the cave, the fire—he was still hunting me. Still treating me like property.

"Run," Stellan said, grabbing my hand. "Now."

    Skadi stood at the edge of the firelight, her face pale, her hands trembling. The howl had faded, but its echo lingered in the cold air. The one who waits wanted to speak. Now. But before Lyra could move, the wind shifted. The sky darkened. The temperature dropped.Stellan looked up at the clouds gathering above the mountains. "A storm is coming.""How bad?" Lyra asked."Bad. The worst we've seen in years."Skadi stepped back into the shadows. "The one who waits can wait. This storm will not."She disappeared into the darkness, and Lyra turned her attention to the camp. Wolves were already moving, securing supplies, reinforcing tents, bringing the pups inside. The wind picked up, howling through the trees, shaking the snow from the branches.Dag appeared at Lyra's side. "The hunting party is still out. They haven't returned."Lyra's heart seized. "How many?""Six. Freya is with them."---The storm hit an hour lat

    Skadi stood at the edge of the firelight, her face pale, her hands trembling. The howl had faded, but its echo lingered in the cold air, raising the hair on Lyra's arms. The one who waits wanted to speak with her. Now.She rose from the furs, her heart pounding. Stellan was beside her in an instant, his body tense, his eyes scanning the darkness beyond the fire. "Where is he?"Skadi pointed toward the forest. "At the edge of the trees. He won't come closer. He says the camp is dangerous for him.""Dangerous how?" Lyra asked."Too many memories. Too many wolves he failed." Skadi's voice was soft. "He's been alone for a long time. Watching. Waiting. He's not used to being around others."Lyra exchanged a glance with Stellan. Then she stepped forward. "I'll go.""Not alone." Stellan's voice was firm."Then come with me."---They walked to the edge of the forest, the snow crunching beneath their boots, their breath misting

  • FROZEN BONDS: THE HALF-BLOOD'S MATE   Chapter 91: The Night Together

    The howl from the edge of the camp faded into the night, but Skadi's words lingered like frost on Lyra's skin. The one who waits had come. He wanted to speak with her. But not tonight. Tonight, there was only the fire and the snow and the weight of everything she had lost.Cengiz had left that morning, his figure disappearing into the forest, the dagger still warm against her hip. The camp had settled into its evening rhythm, wolves retreating to their tents, the fires burning low. Lyra stood at the edge of the lake, watching the stars appear one by one, and tried to make sense of the ache in her chest.Stellan found her there, as he always did. He did not speak. He simply stood beside her, close enough that their shoulders touched, and waited."She's gone," Lyra said finally. "Cengiz. He's gone.""He'll be back.""I know. But still." She touched the dagger at her hip. "Every time someone leaves, I feel like I'm losing a piece of myself."He

  • FROZEN BONDS: THE HALF-BLOOD'S MATE   Chapter 90: The Old Wound

    The howl from the forest faded into the night, but its echo lingered in the cold air, settling into Lyra's chest like something that would never leave. Skadi had disappeared into the shadows, her warning still fresh in Lyra's mind. The one who waits. The one who has been watching since before the wolves came to these lands.She stood at the edge of the camp, Stellan beside her, and stared into the darkness. Whatever was coming, she would face it. She had faced worse. She had survived worse. But the fear was still there, coiled in her chest, waiting for the moment when it would strike.---The next morning, Lyra found Cengiz at the edge of the lake.He was standing alone, his back to the camp, his eyes fixed on the mountains. The wind moved through his fur, and for a moment, he looked ancient, older than the trees, older than the snow, older than the memories he carried.She approached slowly, her footsteps soft on the frozen ground. "You're up earl

  • FROZEN BONDS: THE HALF-BLOOD'S MATE   Chapter 89: The Turkish Visit

    The howl from the forest faded into the night, but Skadi's words lingered like frost on Lyra's skin. The one who waits has grown impatient. She had no idea what that meant, but the phrase settled into her chest, heavy and cold, a warning of something she could not yet see.Sleep did not come easily that night. She lay beside Stellan, staring at the ceiling of their tent, listening to the wind move through the trees outside. The bond pulsed between them, steady and warm, but even that could not chase away the unease that had taken root in her mind.When dawn finally broke, she rose before the sun and walked to the edge of the camp.The snow was fresh, the air still, the mountains purple in the early light. She stood at the edge of the frozen lake and watched the sky turn from gray to pink to gold. The world was beautiful. Peaceful. It was hard to believe that somewhere out there, something was waiting for her.---Cengiz arrived that afternoon.

    The final test. Those words echoed in Lyra's mind long after Skadi had disappeared into her tent. She stood at the edge of the forest, staring into the darkness, and tried to imagine what could possibly be left. She had faced Ronan. She had faced the Watcher. She had faced the old ones and the southern packs and the weight of a prophecy that had chased her since before she was born. What else could there be?Stellan found her there an hour later, his footsteps soft on the snow. He did not speak. He simply stood beside her, close enough that their shoulders touched, and waited."Skadi says there's one more test," Lyra said finally. "One more thing I have to do before the prophecy is complete."He considered this. "Do you know what it is?""No. But I'm afraid to find out."He took her hand. "Whatever it is, you won't face it alone."She wanted to believe him. She needed to believe him. But the fear was still there, coiled in her chest like a s
