The Alpha's Ice Queen

Nina's POV “I will miss you, Mom,” I said, pouting my lips sadly and pulling my mom into a tight embrace.My mom—Beta Elara of the Duskwatch Pack—a small pack in the east —has just dropped me in front of the university gate as I'm just resuming back from the three-week summer break.“I will miss you too, honey,” she whispered, her breath warm against my ears as she patted my back fondly. “Be good, okay?” She pulled back, brushing a strand of my stray blonde hair.She kissed my forehead, and then waved me goodbye. She got into the car and finally drove off.I watched until her car disappeared, then grabbed my suitcase and headed toward the gate.My name is Nina Hayes, nineteen years old, a Healing and Herbal Craft major Sophomore and member of the cheerleading team at Velmora University of the Lycan Arts. An ultra-private werewolf college in the hills of Oxford. It's a place where strength and ranks rewrite the rules, where legacy matters more than grades and where anyone without a po

Nina's POV I blinked my eyes open slowly, adjusting myself to the fluorescent light in the room. I pressed my hand on my forehead as a throbbing ache hit me sharply.What happened? And just like that the memories of last night hit me like a sledgehammer. The rejection, the humiliation. Tears burned my eyes, my chest tightening as I felt the pains all over again.Pushing myself up, my eyes darted across the familiar room—this was Killian's room.Killian is my elder brother, a final year student and the captain of the ice hockey club. He must have been the one I sensed yesterday at the college grounds before I passed out.But he is not supposed to be here yet? Maybe he could sense my pain through our siblings' bond like he always did.Killian's team had gone for a competition with a rival team last week and he told me they weren't going to be back until month end. Just then, the kitchen door opened and Killian stepped out. His lips curled into a sad smile, and he had a small plate i

Nina POV“Y-you’re back…” I gasped, calming my wolf with a hand on my chest and some light breaths.The last thing I needed was another misunderstanding from her. Another ‘mate’ situation.No more boys, remember?Jace smiled at me. His devilishly handsome smile was one of the things that attracted me to him when we were younger.The Brooks family had boys that could take a girl’s breath away, that I didn't argue, but they were evil.Or at least only Aiden was.“Yeah. I got back a few hours ago. I'm a transfer student here. So glad I ran into you on my way to my locker room. How are you doing?”“I'm good. Transfer student?” I repeated, my brow raised with questions. He was staying longer?Jace nodded, his eyes left me as they wandered round the hallway, outside the window, and then back.“It's been a while since I've been here, so I decided to come back. No place feels like home, you know?”I didn't. I had always been home.“Right…”I asked if he had seen his best friend, Killan– my br

 NINA HAYES POV. The sound of the thunder rocketing through the roof as I walked down the hallway sent shivers down my tiny frame. It was cold. It was dark. And it was raining. Three deadly combos every tiny-framed girl like me hated. My wolf was too weak to keep me warm, and so I relied on the two heavy sweatshirts and raincoats I slid into to protect me. Its warmth helped greatly, but when I stepped foot outside the school dormitory, all hell rained loose. 

Nina Hayes POV.By the time I walked back to the dormitory, my clothes were soaked with rain.Fabric was glued to my body like a second skin, I was freezing underneath.The rain hadn't stopped even for a second as I walked back, and that squishy sound my boot made while it struggled with water added to my anger.Ugh! Like the day hadn't already been worse.I dragged my feet through the quiet hallway, wishing I could fly so I could shorten my trip.I was miserable. Utterly disgusted with everything.And when I reached my room, I peeled the drenched sweatshirts off, tossed them in the dryer, and collapsed on my bed.My sheets had never felt so welcoming against the coldness of my skin. I wrapped myself tightly to stop the cold, and while I did feel less cold, the blanket couldn't stop the storm in my head.“What did I just agree to?”My eyes flickered open in realization. Now that I thought of it, I wondered why I was confident in the first place.What was I thinking agreeing to give Ja
