last update 게시일: 2026-05-26 11:27:31

The morning after the storm, the camp was quiet in a way it hadn't been for weeks. The snow had stopped falling, the wind had died down, and the sun was trying to break through the clouds. Lyra stood at the edge of the lake, watching the ice shift and groan beneath the surface, and tried to remember the last time she had felt this peaceful.

Freya found her there an hour later.

The girl was moving better now, her leg still bandaged but no longer slowing her down. She had insisted

    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 Lyra had other matters to attend to. Vidar was alive. Vidar was out there. And she needed to know if he was a threat or a ghost.She found Freya at the training ground the next morning.The girl was practicing her forms, her leg still bandaged but her movements smoother than they had been in days. She looked up as Lyra approached, a question in her eyes."We're going north," Lyra said. "To find Vidar. To see if he's still there."Freya nodded slowly. "I'll come with you.""Your leg—""My leg is fine." Her voice was firm. "I'm not letting you go alone."Lyra studied her for a moment. Then she nodded. "Gather your gear. We leave at midday."---The party was small: Lyra, Freya, and two warriors Lyra trusted with her life. Runa had voluntee

    The morning after the storm, the camp was quiet in a way it hadn't been for weeks. The snow had stopped falling, the wind had died down, and the sun was trying to break through the clouds. Lyra stood at the edge of the lake, watching the ice shift and groan beneath the surface, and tried to remember the last time she had felt this peaceful.Freya found her there an hour later.The girl was moving better now, her leg still bandaged but no longer slowing her down. She had insisted on leaving the healing tent that morning, claiming that she would go mad if she had to stare at the ceiling for one more day. The healers had protested, but Lyra had overruled them. Sometimes the best medicine was fresh air and purpose."Luna," Freya said, her voice low. "I need to tell you something."Lyra turned to face her. The girl's face was pale, her hands trembling. This was not the confident young wolf who had been training with the pups. This was someone who was carrying

  • FROZEN BONDS: THE HALF-BLOOD'S MATE   Chapter 95: The Quiet Night

    The howl 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. But not tonight. Tonight, there was only the fire and the snow and the quiet breathing of the pack settling into sleep.Lyra stood at the edge of the camp, watching the stars appear one by one. The storm had passed. The winds had died. The world was still and white and peaceful. It was hard to believe that just days ago, it had been trying to kill them.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."The one who waits," she said finally. "Skadi says he's here.""I know.""He wants to speak with me.""Then we'll listen. But not tonight."She turned to look at him. "Why not tonight?""Because tonight you need to rest. You've been running for days. Fighting the storm. Saving the lost. Holding the pack tog

  • FROZEN BONDS: THE HALF-BLOOD'S MATE   Chapter 94: The Hero

    Lyra walked through the entrance of the camp and the world erupted.Wolves surged forward from every direction, their voices raised in howls of relief and admiration. They pressed around her, touching her fur, her face, her hands, as if to confirm that she was real, that she was alive, that she had somehow walked into the worst storm in decades and walked back out again.She had not expected this. She had only done what needed to be done. The hunting party was lost, freezing, dying. Someone had to go. Someone had to try. She had been the someone.The pups stared at her with wide eyes, their mouths open, their tails wagging. The warriors nodded with respect, their faces hard but their eyes soft. The elders wept, their old hands reaching out to bless her, to thank her, to remind her that she was part of something larger than herself.Lyra stood in the center of the crowd, overwhelmed, uncertain. She did not feel like a hero. She felt like a wolf who had bee

    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

  • FROZEN BONDS: THE HALF-BLOOD'S MATE   Chapter 92: The Winter Preparations

    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
