The silver pendant felt colder than ice. I turned it over in my palm for the twentieth time, tracing the crescent moon engraved on its surface with my thumb.

It wasn't new, the edges were worn smooth, as though someone had carried it for years. I could tell it was from my mother. The only photograph I had of her showed this exact pendant resting against her collarbone.

I looked back into the empty hallway. There were no footsteps or shadows, no sign of whoever had left the wooden box ou

  • Fangs Beneath Ice   Mother's Identity

    Cole POVThe emergency alarms echoed across Blackthorne University, drowning out the last of the wolves's howls and red warning lights flashed across every building.Students flooded into the courtyards, some still wearing pajamas beneath T-shirts. Confused voices mixed with anxious whispers as everyone searched for answers. I folded the note and slipped it into my pocket.The words refused to leave my mind “Your mother didn't die the way they told you.”Someone had risked sneaking to my dorm just to tell me that. Why? And who would do that? What would they get by doing it? I was not naive enough to believe someone could help me to find my mother's origin freely. I knew they wanted something from me, but what? I didn't know.A loud voice boomed through the campus speakers "All students report to the central courtyard immediately. This is not a drill."Hearing it, a cold shiver ran through my spine. What would happen to the college authority to announce this? I grabbed my jacket and hur

  • Fangs Beneath Ice   Echoes Beneath the Stone

    Cole POVMy heart launched when a hand gripped my wrist from the darkness.A familiar voice whispered near my ear "Keep quiet, unless you want them to find you."Aiden Cross! Now I was sure he stalked me like a creep. Wherever I went, he always followed.I jerked my arm free and spun around and I hissed "What are you doing here?" The faint light from distant torches caught the sharp lines of his face. Unlike the Obsidian Circle members who wore masks, he wore no silver mask.A smirk appeared on his face and he said in a teasing voice "I could ask you the same question."I said in a low voice "I asked first."Aiden glanced toward the tunnel where the masked figures had disappeared and said "And if you keep talking, they'll hear us."His calm tone only irritated me. Seriously, was there even one time when he didn't irritate me? I just want some alone time. Why did he always stalk me? I narrowed my eyes and asked with an irritated voice "You've been following me."He said with a serious

    Cole POVThe silver pendant felt colder than ice. I turned it over in my palm for the twentieth time, tracing the crescent moon engraved on its surface with my thumb.It wasn't new, the edges were worn smooth, as though someone had carried it for years. I could tell it was from my mother. The only photograph I had of her showed this exact pendant resting against her collarbone.I looked back into the empty hallway. There were no footsteps or shadows, no sign of whoever had left the wooden box outside my room.Was it a prank? No, it could not be a prank. Not everyone knew about my mother. Father never discussed about my mother. Almost nobody ever spoke about her. It's like talking about her was forbidden but I want to know about my mother. Whoever knew about this pendant also knew about my mother.I quietly closed the dorm room door and locked it.I looked at the note again “She wanted you to find this before they did.”I narrowed my eyes and murmured "They."The word bothered me more t

  • Fangs Beneath Ice   Rivalry

    Cole POVBy the time Monday morning arrived, I had developed a new routine and that was to ignore the whispers, ignore the stares and most importantly, ignore Aiden Cross.The first two were manageable but the third one? Impossible.Every hallway seemed too small whenever he was around. Every room felt like it shrank until there was nowhere to look except at him or more accurately, nowhere to avoid looking.I adjusted the strap of my hockey bag as I walked toward the arena.Today's practice wasn't ordinary. Both Black Fang and Crimson Claw had been ordered to share the ice before next week's match. Coach claimed it would "evaluate discipline under pressure."I didn't want to see him but in this case I didn't have any choice. Seriously, sometimes I wonder what the moon goddess thought when she wrote my destiny. I mean I should have more encounters with my ex-fated Luna. I watched dramas and their fated alpha and luna met all the time. At that time, the mistress tried to humiliate the pr

  • Fangs Beneath Ice    You are Interesting

    Cole POV The locker room fell silent. Aiden leaned against the doorway, one of his hands in his pocket and his dark eyes fixed on Lucas. A small smile appeared on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes.He said lazily "Practice ended ten minutes ago. Why are you still bothering my little wolf?"Hearing it, I clenched my jaw and said with gritted teeth "I told you not to call me that."Aiden didn't even look at me, his attention stayed on Lucas.Lucas crossed his arms, forcing a smile and said "I was talking to my brother."Aiden’s one eye raised and he asked with a mocking tone "You call that talking?" His voice remained calm, but I could feel his anger beneath his words. Lucas shrugged and said with a casual tone "What I do with my family isn't your business."Aiden took one slow step forward, like a Predator, and said with his cold voice, "No, it becomes my business when I have to keep pulling your hands off him."The room grew colder. Several teammates quietly slipped out of the

  • Fangs Beneath Ice   Rumors

    Cole's POVThe next morning, everything in the Blackthorne Academy felt different or maybe I was the one who changed.Students stared at me everywhere, in the hallway, inside classrooms and even during breakfast.Their whispers followed me like shadows “That’s him.”One person said “The one from initiation.”Another person said “I heard he collapsed during the ritual.”Another person murmured “No way.”Someone said “What if he’s cursed?”Hearing it, I tightened my grip around my coffee cup but kept walking without giving them any reaction. I hated attention, especially this kind of attention.The bruise-like mark on my throat burned slightly under my collar. I could still feel Aiden’s fingers brushing against it last night.Remembering that, my jaw tightened immediately. That jerk did that purposely.I entered my classroom quietly and sat near the back like always.Most students avoided sitting beside me now. Well, it's not like they always wanted to approach me but now they act like
