Ice Claimed: The Alpha’s Obsession 101
‘High Risk?!’The thought felt like a jagged piece of ice piercing my chest. I tightened my grip on the phone until my knuckles turned white. Was the bond already failing? Was there truly something broken within my pup?I didn't have time to process the agony before the scent of cedar and cold steel hit me. Ethan Carter was here. He hadn't just driven to Yaya Indus; he had stormed into the territory with the sheer intent of hunting me down. I knew why. He wanted to know where those 300 million credits came from. In his mind, if I had accepted gold from another Alpha, it was a challenge to his claim.He didn't wait for a security clearance. He shoved past the front desk and strode toward the lift, his presence making the air in the lobby vibrate with Alpha command.The doors slid open with a soft chime, and the first thing he saw was my face—flushed, tear-streaked, and raw.I stared at him for a dazed second, the world spinning. Then, I wrenched my gaze away. I couldn't look at him. I

I had been a fool, letting the beast take the reins. Rage had clouded my vision, making me forget the most fragile truth: he was carrying my pup.'How could I have snarled those words at him?'"Ethan, the team is heading to the rink for a meal!" Chloe Bennett opened my office door, her voice a soft reminder that the training day was over.I looked at her, my pulse slowing. For the past year, Chloe had been a shadow in the Silvercrest offices, never speaking unless spoken to. It was only since Collins returned from the north that she had begun appearing at my side again."Go on without me," I muttered, turning back to my monitors. "I’m heading back to the villa."Chloe nodded, her expression unreadable. "You look like you've been hit by a puck, Ethan. Don't let the paperwork bury you."She slipped out as quietly as she’d entered. I snatched up my phone and dialed Brandon Hayes. "Brandon, are you at the mansion with Collins?"I heard the sound of a car engine idling on the other end. "N

"I’ve managed to claw back three hundred million credits," Denise Harper muttered, looking over at Jess with a sharp, calculating gaze."What? Denise, that’s impossible! The pack treasury is nearly dry... we have barely a hundred and fifty thousand silver credits left in the vault!" Jess gasped, her scent spiking with frantic energy."Forget it. I’ll handle the rest," Denise snapped, cutting the link on her comms."Denise Harper, do you think I’m some omega you can just toss aside?" Jess lunged forward, her claws extending as she pressed a silver-tipped blade against Denise’s throat.Denise stiffened, the scent of silver making her wolf whimper. "Jess! Drop the weapon! I’ll get you the credits! I swear it! Just lower the blade!""No! I’ll tear your throat out right here if you don't authorize the transfer to my account this second! Denise, I’m not playing! Mason Carter will have my head if I don't pay back the pack's debt! I’m cornered! I have no other path!" Jess shrieked, tears carv

"It wasn’t a total loss," I told my client, keeping my voice steady."I’m glad to hear that. My assistant just finished wiring the final credits to your vault," the client replied, a sharp, wolfish grin spreading across his face. "You charge a high price, Collins Parker, but I believe your hands are worth every silver coin. Why haven’t you marked your own territory yet? If it wasn't for that rogue kidnapping incident on the ice, I wouldn't have known you were the one who survived the Professor’s final trials.""I need to return to Mysticfall," I said, looking out at the blizzard. "I have a blood-oat to fulfill for a senior.""Understandable. Can I track your scent for help when the next winter hits?""That depends on the moon and my schedule. I’m crossing the border in a few days.""A tragedy. I had a line of other Alphas ready to pay for your time. I suppose they’ll have to wait for the next thaw.""Yeah."I had pulled seven hundred and eighty thousand credits from that surgery. I di

I opened my eyes, the silver glow of my laptop illuminating the dark den. A notification pinged—a message from Collins. I didn't scan the words immediately; instead, I checked the global pack clock. It was eight in the evening in Mysticfall, which meant the sun was just rising over the Skydrivee ice.I tapped the link.[I am repaying the credits. I don't have the full sum available immediately, so I will settle the debt in installments.]I knew this was coming. Collins had the pride of a lone wolf. How could he endure the public branding of a con artist while the headlines howled about his "scam"? My grip on the device tightened until the casing creaked. Our bond had mutated from a fractured romance into a cold transaction between debtor and debtee. It was a twisted link, but it was the only one we had left.I didn't reply. What was there to say? If I refused, he’d only dig his claws in deeper.Fifteen minutes later, a bank alert chimed. One hundred and fifty-five million credits had

"Try to have a conversation with him! Whether he chooses to keep the cub or not, don't let it destroy you. I'll be waiting for your return to the pack, and we’ll reunite soon.""I understand."By Monday, a storm of gossip was howling through the icy streets of Mysticfall.The report hit the front page of Yaya Indus, the premier digital outlet for the shifter elite.The headline was a jagged blade of text.High Alpha of Silvercrest Holdings, Ethan Carter, Defrauded of 1.5 Billion? The Savage Reality Will Draw Blood!The subtitle was even more biting: Don't Let A Fated Bond Leave Your Vaults Empty! The article ripped into the details of the silver-scented ambush in Skydrivee.The journalist claimed the entire rescue mission was a calculated trap orchestrated by Collins Parker. It painted the Omega as a master manipulator who staged a crisis to drain Ethan’s treasury.Because Collins had deep roots in the Skydrivee region, the article argued it was his playground. He was snatched in his
