A small laugh escapes me, and I offer another small nod for him to continue. I mean, what the hell am I supposed to say to that?

“A lot of the folklore is based on the truth. How much do you know about werewolves?”

“Um, I mean—silver bullets; you shift under a full moon; alphas are the boss. Oh! I love Twilight. I was always Team Jacob.”

I nearly facepalm myself the second I say that. That sounded way less stupid in my head.

They all sigh, grumble, and scoff at once. Roman is rubbing his forehe

  • Moonlit ice, A wolf's fated mate    Chapter fifty five

    Roman POVI still can't believe she agreed to stay with me, even if it's just as a trial run. I thought it would take much more work. I had speeches planned. It's going to be incredible to get to know her at a new level. Not just on dates, through text messages, or in passing. I finally get to learn who Leera is all the time, and when she thinks no one is looking… because I’ll always be looking.I'm lost in my happy trail of thoughts when the scent of her arousal begins to drown me. It's heady and intoxicating, but it's not just that. I can sense her anxiety rising again.“Leera, honey, what's wrong?”Her cheeks turn pink. She tries to just smile and shake her head like she's fine.We're almost home now, just another minute. Her scent is so strong I have to roll the car window down to be able to drive and keep my wolf from ripping through my skin.How can this be? As I ask myself that question, my wolf begins to howl beneath my skin. How the fuck am I going to handle this?! This is th

  • Moonlit ice, A wolf's fated mate    fifty four

    Leera POVAs if I didn't draw enough attention to myself all on my own, walking through a crowded college building with a hockey god's arm draped around my shoulder was definitely the cherry on top.The guys are all sputtering in awe, and the chicks are divided between jealousy and thirst, if you catch my drift.I just focus on the tingles and warmth radiating from where he touches me as we move through the seas of people parting for us.For the first time today, I feel a genuine smile bloom on my face when I realize that Roman didn’t even seem to notice anyone else that was in the building. Sure, he does the dude nod thing to some of the young men praying for his attention, but when he sees the women who would happily take my place on his arm, he either leans over to kiss the side of my head or pulls me closer.No matter what happens, for once, I feel like it really will be okay. Life is different when you know you have a seven-hundred-something-year-old werewolf, hockey god for a ma

  • Moonlit ice, A wolf's fated mate    Chapter Fifty Three

    Roman POVI’m on my way to Professor Sinclair's office to talk to her about Leera's potential online class situation when I pick up Leera's honeysuckle and spun sugar scent going in the same direction. Except… shaking my head, I try to clear the negative thoughts; I'm just rattled from everything going on.But when I reach the door to her office, the instinct is overwhelming, and I have to calm my wolf snarling just under the surface.I knock on the door, hard enough to rattle it, and gather a little attention. Shit. I paste on my magazine smile with a small wave, and while I still have their attention, I no longer smell the fear that had started to permeate the air.The door opens only a crack, revealing that the professor and my mate are both in there, and I now know that my instincts were not wrong.“Well, hello, Roman. Leera and I were just discussing—”Allowing a little bit of my wolf through the surface for her to feel, I interrupt the professor.“I think you should ask me to c

  • Moonlit ice, A wolf's fated mate    Chapter fifty two

    Leera POVThis is definitely harder than I thought it would be. I'm only in my second class of the day, with two more to go, and I've already had fifty miniature heart attacks for no reason whatsoever. Every unexpected sound is making me jump. The guy behind me sneezed a minute ago, and I thought I was going to pee my pants. It also doesn't help that word spread like wildfire that I'd been kidnapped, and everyone has been pointing and whispering at me all day. It's kind of hard to blend in with the silver hair and all. I can't decide if the attention or the fear is worse, but they're both so suffocating.I guess sometimes, no matter how hard you want something, you also have to admit that you might not be able to do it, and it looks like I likely won’t be able to handle the normal college experience that I wanted so badly. At least not right now.Trying to focus on the rest of the lecture while also coming to terms with that realization is hard.Okay, so I might need to take classes

  • Moonlit ice, A wolf's fated mate    Chapter fifty one

    Roman POVIn order to keep the peace, I allow Leera to believe that I’m giving her the independence she so desperately wanted, but with her being kidnapped, there’s just no way in hell I’m leaving her alone.I will not lose her again. Not now. Not ever.So I’ll grant her the illusion of my submission for now, unless something causes me to show myself.I make myself comfortable in my car, parked with a direct line of sight to the main door of her dorm building. Benny is stationed at the other end of the building. At the only other door out of her building.We’ll be tired tomorrow, but for my mate to be safe, being tired feels like a very small payment to make. Andrei, Slate, and the twins all offered to take shifts, but I refused to leave. I can’t. Benny also declined and vowed to stay in position.Thinking of how easily she allowed herself to smile at dinner, having been kidnapped mere days ago. I know she's strong, but she thinks being strong means doing everything on your own. It do

  • Moonlit ice, A wolf's fated mate    Chapter fifty

    The dinner was so good, oh my gosh! We went to this little family diner that only had like seven tables, and I had the best shredded Rueben sandwich I've ever tasted.We're pulling up to the dorms now as my heart starts trying to pound its way out of my chest. I grip my legs so hard that my knuckles turn white. I'm begging the panic to spare me, but it's not. I can feel the wave of anxiety cresting through my body. I already know it's going to drown me.I have been working so hard to stay strong and show everyone that I can handle this. I want to be strong, but it's so fucking hard. I want to prove to Roman that I am okay. I don't want them to worry about me because that just draws more attention. If I can pretend that I'm strong enough to get through this, no one will give that sad look that makes me feel pathetic. Like the looks I got when Mom and Dad died.A small, broken sob bubbles out of my throat, and before I can process what's happening, I'm being pulled from the car. I start
