My lips trembled. That face—impossible to mistake. It was her.
I’d seen her before—once, twice, maybe more. Always in my dreams. The ones that clung to me long after I woke. She terrified me then, and seeing her now, real and solid, chilled me to the bone.
What unsettled me most was how I couldn’t remember the dreams themselves, yet her face was carved into my memory like a scar.
She crossed the space between us and pulled me into her arms. Her embrace was firm—too firm that I pushed her back, just enough to show I wasn’t accepting it. She steadied herself, smiled like she’d expected that, like she knew more than I did.

Mated To The Ice Pack Chapter 24- The Beginning
Neava Quinn“That was a nice play for a newbie,” Theo said when I finally caught up with them. He threw a weak smile over his shoulder before he and the others disappeared around a corner.I stood there, blinking at the empty space where they had been. They didn't even wait to speak to meThat’s when I saw Malik. He was standing with Mrs. Ivy. They were having a serious talk, too private for me to interrupt. Not like I would anyways.I wasn’t ready for another confusing talk or one of Mrs. Ivy’s mysterious smiles. So I changed direction fast, pretending I hadn’t seen them. The rest of the day moved slowly after that. I didn’t see the boys again, not even in the hallways before school ended.When I finally got home, Malik was already there. He was sitting stiffly at the desk across from my father. Both of their faces were serious, making the air in the room thick.“Sweetheart.” My mother came out of the kitchen. Her

Mated To The Ice Pack Chapter 23- Losing to Ironvale
Neava QuinnI was only doing what River said. Not like I truly get my role, I didn't even belong yet. The stick felt foreign in my hand, the clothes like I was disguising. But I went on. It was easier than asking questions. Especially since I already joined the team.As I slipped out of my shirt, Mrs. Ivy’s voice still echoed in my head, swaying like a spell I couldn't shut out.They aren’t as gentle as they look. You must take them before they think they can take you, Naeva.Take them. Or be taken.Her words clutched me even as the fabric brushed over my skin.Then—A sharp whistle tore through my swirling thoughts, a reminder that River was still waiting outside.“Naeva!” River’s voice is sharp like a whip. He barged into the changing room before I even had time to respond.He tensed the instant our eyes met. His lips parted, but no words formed. His gaz
Mated To The Ice Pack Chapter 22- Meeting the Ironvale team
RiverThe night moved like chains across my chest. It was the longest I’ve endured. Sleep came only in bits, snapping apart whenever I closed my eyes. Every time I drifted, Naeva’s face burned in my mind.Her confusion. The fear of not being able to protect her, as we've sworn years back.Can she handle what she's about to find out? If she can’t handle it, it could destroy her. If it wasn't just about her, the pack. Our pack, the last that existed on the surface of the human world, would be destroyed too.If we keep quiet, it will destroy all of us. That thought ran through my mind until the early hours of the morning.When I finally slipped into unconsciousness, I don’t think an hour had passed before the cold mercilessly woke me. Bitter. Biting. It bites through even the duvet, pricking my skin like ice pins. I sat up, my body tense, and my mind heavy.Theo’s voice broke the silence. “We’ve forgotten something.” he didn't let me shake off the sleep in my eyes.His tone was firm,
Mated To The Ice Pack Chapter 21-Where Trust begins
Naeva Quinn“Naeva, this isn’t right. Your attitude keeps getting confusing. We need to talk. I'm your father.” My father’s voice was sharper than I’d ever heard it. No softness, no patience. Just too serious.I didn’t turn. My chest was hot, my voice went flat. “Did you not already assign me a bodyguard? Or isn’t he doing his job?”I said, moving past him, straight inside, cutting off whatever reply he had. But he didn't drop his stance, his voice followed behind me.“Naeva.”But I didn’t, I wouldn’t listen. My steps took me to my room, and the moment the door closed, I let my body fall into the bed. The sheets caught, just perfectly, I needed them to anchor me, to keep me from swaying out of myself.Silence clutched me. Then my stomach growled. Loud. A reminder that I hadn’t eaten all day. But the thought of stepping outside, of crossing paths with Dad, maybe my mother, kept me pinned. I’d rather starve than face him in the kitchen, beneath those sharp stares.I closed my eyes and
Mated To The Ice Pack Chapter 20- Burdened by the secret
Theo“Let’s talk outside,” my voice lowered as I spoke to Jax.The heat inside the room vanished as the air outside, but with its coldness, it almost cut my skin. Jax joined me almost immediately, shoulders balanced, waiting for me to speak.“Hey, guys.” Camden’s voice came in. He walked over casually, oblivious of the fact that he might have words into a serious conversation.He was about to enter when Jax snapped, “Keep your voice down.”Camden frowned. “What’s happening here?”I hesitated, but the words fell out, “Uhmm… she’s inside.”“Who is inside? You guys, why are you not speaking clearly?” he asked, eyes moving. He already knew but wanted someone to say it. If Camden was guilty about something, it was about his fear o
