MasukThe captain is dead to the world. And I’m the only one holding the kill switch. Ethan Carter, the "Glacier of Silvercrest," was the most feared Alpha to ever step onto the ice. Now, he’s nothing but a shell—a broken, comatose legend trapped in his own body. My life? It was supposed to be simple. Graduate, survive the pack’s bottom-tier status, and pay off my father’s ruinous blood-debts. Instead, the pack elders handed me a contract soaked in cold, hard malice: I am the designated "Stabilizer." My only job is to touch him, scent him, and keep his wolf from flatlining. I thought I was just a glorified nurse. I didn't realize the Alpha was listening. When Ethan finally wakes, he isn't the hero the Kingdom of Valeria remembers. He’s a starving predator with amber eyes that burn holes through my defenses and a temperament that makes the frost in the mansion seem warm. He hates the bargain, he hates the pack, and—most dangerously—he hates the way his scent turns wild whenever I’m near. He wants me out of his sight. I want to be out of his reach. But in a pack built on secrets, someone is still trying to finish the job they started on his life. Now, the man who wants me gone is the only one who can protect me. And as the rink turns into a battlefield, I’m realizing the most dangerous thing about the Alpha isn't his temper... it’s the fact that once he claims a mate, he doesn't know how to let go. Frozen hearts are meant to shatter. But in the fire of this pack, we’re both going to burn.

We are returning to the academy grounds this instant!"The instructor tightened her grip on Hayden’s arm, hauling him away from the scent of fresh blood.That afternoon, I steered my sled toward the High Council’s Enforcement Bureau.Five cycles ago, Andrew Parker’s brother, Victor Brooks—before he had pledged himself to his husband—had bled Parker Industries of nearly three hundred million gold marks before vanishing into the untamed Northern wastes.Despite the trail of evidence being clear as a winter moon, the local enforcers were toothless. The territory Victor had fled to was a lawless expanse that recognized no Valeria extradition treaties, meaning he was safe from our claws as long as he stayed within those jagged borders. Furthermore, Victor had scrubled his scent and assumed an entirely new identity once he
Chloe scrubbed at her eyes with a coarse tissue, her voice sounding like gravel grinding on ice. "Could there be sensory arrays in this suite? Is it possible that our... entanglement last night was captured by a recording crystal?"Mason scanned the frost-etched molding and the dark corners of the timber-framed room. "There shouldn't be... right? This is a five-star peak lodge. I’ll howl for a lawsuit if they’ve breached our privacy like that!""Dispatch your enforcers immediately to sweep for hidden lenses!" Chloe commanded, her voice regaining its sharp, clinical edge."Right... on it..." Mason mumbled, scrambling to gather his discarded furs.Earlier that morning, I had personally escorted Shea to her advanced training academy. Once she was settled within the safety of her reinforced classroom, I paced toward the sector where the younger pups were taught.After the tense meal with Collins Parker the previous day, Brandon and I had reached a singular conclusion: the digital ghost wh
The den was silent as the winter moon reached its peak. Layla sat up in her furs and pulled a small block of dark chocolate from beneath her pillow. "Grandpa Elio told me to sneak this to you, Hayden," she whispered, her voice like the rustle of dry snow. "He was worried your stomach would be growling after the Alpha’s punishment. Hurry up and finish it before the scent spreads!"Hayden shook his head, his jaw set. He was a wolf who took his lashings with pride.Layla’s hand vanished back under the pillow, fumbling through the wool. Suddenly, she produced a second, identical square of chocolate."This one is from Dad," she murmured, her eyes wide. "He’s worried about your strength, too. Just eat one of them, Hayden! We can split the other. Please?""Did Dad really tell you to bring that to me?" Hayden asked, his eyes narrowing as he analyzed the two wrappers. They were from the same hoard."That’s right! Actually, they’re both from Dad. He told me to say the first one was from Grandpa
I sprinted toward the technical operations deck the second the alert flashed on my HUD."Our Director isn't on the ice today, Alpha Carter."The floor supervisor looked like he’d seen a winter wraith. He clearly had no idea why the King of Silvercrest was standing in his server room, but judging by the lethal frost in Ethan’s eyes, he knew Mike had crossed a very dangerous line."Perhaps I should escort you to the President's den!" the supervisor stammered just as I burst through the doors.I approached Ethan, feeling the heat of his fury from across the room. "Let's take this to my office," I said, keeping my voice steady despite the adrenaline.He had clearly come here to hunt Mike for whatever had transpired between them. Mike hadn't scented a word of it to me, but seeing Ethan this livid, I knew it wasn't just a minor skirmish on the ice.Once we were inside my office, Ethan and Tyler Dawson took to the leather sofa while his personal enforcers stood guard at the threshold."What'
The instructors at the Moreau Academy caught a glimpse of Ethan’s approach and vanished from the training hall. The atmosphere grew heavy as the Alpha of Silvercrest stood alone with Hayden. Ethan pulled a chair across the frozen floorboards, the wood groaning under his weight as he blocked the pat
I slammed my glass onto the mahogany table, the ice rattling against the sides as I gave up the ghost of our argument. "Is it such a crime for an Alpha to seek companionship now that I’m no longer bound by a pack marriage?""Not at all! If that wolf is truly your new mate, then I’m thrilled for you
I stood there, momentarily stunned by Brandon’s audacity, but I wasn't about to waste my breath arguing with him. Brandon was a wolf who preferred the company of other males, so his "husband" comment was just his usual brand of chaotic humor.Hayden hadn't shown up at the academy’s ice rink today.
I stepped into the grand hall of the Carter manor, the scent of pine and chilled air clinging to the walls. I froze for a second when I saw Chloe Bennett standing there. She looked different, less like a clinical surgeon and more like a predator in silk.“Ethan, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten your
