NINA.

I was breathing hard even though I hadn’t done a damn thing. It wasn’t the kind of anger that came with shouting or breaking things. It was quieter. Right in the chest, pressing against your ribs until you felt like you couldn’t breathe properly. I kept thinking about how we always ended up here, me and Jace running in circles, saying the same things, fighting over the same stupid details, and pretending it was new every time. It was getting pathetic. It wasn’t even heartbreaking anymore. It was just exhausting.

I’d stopped crying about it weeks ago. Now it just made me tired. Everything between us had turned into some ugly habit — one of us snapping, the other trying to fix it, both of us pretending that if we just apologized hard enough, it’d go back to how it used to be. It never did. It only got worse.

I sat on the edge of my bed for a while, staring at the floor. My phone was next to me, screen down, but I could still feel it there. The way my fingers twitched made me want

    Kate's POVIt was so difficult to believe that Nina was now the Luna of Velmora. When I heard the news, I was deeply shocked and had to wait for two days to be sure it wasn’t a rumor.Guilt ripped at my chest for not saying hello to her ever since she ascended to the seat of power, and I quickly visited the restroom to take a quick shower. Within minutes, I was done dressing up the way a Luna’s friend should.It didn’t take long to reach Velmora and head toward the Luna district. Several guards stopped me at different checkpoints, but I passed their tests and finally reached the last checkpoint, where the guards refused to let me in.“We’ve taken a picture of you. We’ll show it to the Luna. If she wants to talk to you now, you’ll be allowed to go inside,” the lead guard said.“Don’t do that. It’s a surprise visit,” I said, lowering my voice so Nina, who was inside the glorious office, wouldn’t detect my presence.“No one pays a surprise visit to the Luna due to safety concerns. Please

    Jace's POV"This is definitely false. I don't even know who Amara was until she came to the palace," Aiden defended himself. Of course, he would."You don't have to know her, Aiden," I said, slipping the test result into the middle of the files. "You partied. You enjoyed. You fucked too many girls. You can't remember everyone you've slept with, brother.""You're right, I can't remember everyone I slept with, but I can remember their faces," Aiden said. "And Amara has never crossed my paths. You did this, man. Perhaps you forged this in the few days you've been in power. Don't even try to come up with this silly accusation to bring me down.""You're already down," I shot back. "I don't need to do anything about this. I'm not going to handle Amara's case of falsely accusing me. Nina will do that. Let her do what serves her right. It affected me. It affected her. It affected our relationship.""I wasn't involved in this," Aiden lied. "I didn't start the agenda, neither did I push it. I g

  • The Alpha's Ice Queen   Chapter 175

    Jace's POV“You’ve been tasked to keep an eye on the Dusk Watch pack. Make sure no cases are buried. Make sure no offence committed is sidelined. Report every single thing you notice to me,” I said to Killian. He sat across from me, watching me with eagerness on his face. He had always wanted to be in an investigative position, and his dream had just come true.“Thank you for helping me out with my mom’s case, Jace. I truly appreciate the efforts you made,” he said as we shook hands, smiles beaming on our faces. He knew I would never go back on my word. It could have been tougher, though, if Aiden had managed to sneak into the seat of power.“It’s not just for you. It’s for my love’s sake,” I said, and a gentle smirk crept onto his lips. It was like a reminder to me that my love is his own sister. Months ago, Killian would frown at any statement supporting my interest in his sister. Perhaps he was just being overprotective.“I’ll talk to you before the day ends,” he voiced out. “It’s

    Nina's POV"Are you sure you've learned the ropes??" Ronan cut Jace's words short, scoffing slightly. "Alpha Damon, your father who stepped down to let you in, signed a contract with every sub-pack. We have to refer to the sections in the contract to make this work. We can't rely on random investigations just because it was carried out by the main pack."Jace watched as he spoke. I noticed how his mood shifted with every sentence Alpha Ronan made. With a shrug, he gave Ronan the chance to speak. This was a meeting. We needed to make everything right and legal so problems wouldn't arise suddenly."I believe the meeting is just starting," Ronan said as he rose to his feet. "I will be glad to see everyone paying attention to my words. I didn't expect to hear this from the newly

    Nina's POVBack in my office, I resumed the work of checking the reports submitted. I kept checking until I spotted a major report. It was about five students who were brutally injured by Maya and her little minions because they refused to do what Maya wanted. The case had been buried for two months now, but I luckily found it.I singled it out from the list of reports, my eyes scanning the content. I was so deeply immersed that I didn’t even realize when my guard was talking to me.“Your brother wants to talk to you,” the guard said, for the umpteenth time. “Can he come inside?”Jace’s words quickly flashed back to my mind. He said no male friend should have a reason to step into my office, but this was my brother.I nodded just as Killian stepped inside my glorious office, his eyes roaming over the beautiful walls and the royal seat I sat on.“Hail the Luna of Velmora!” he said with a big smile on his face, making heat rise to my cheeks. Then he dropped into the seat across from me.

  • The Alpha's Ice Queen   Chapter 172

    Nina's POV"I have sent an invite to the Dusk Watch Pack to report to Velmora. They will be here in a few hours to have a brief meeting with us," Jace said, dropping into the seat across from me."Are you trying to bring back the faces from my past?" I replied to him. The reminder of how Alpha Ronan banished Killian and me, without considering how we would fend for ourselves, made my heart heavy with anxiety."I have opened a new case, and they have to come over to defend themselves," Jace quickly said, glancing at his wristwatch. "It's about your mother's uncertified arrest."My heart rose with joy. He did promise to open the case and declare my mother innocent, and the dream was coming true now."I launched an investigation into the case last night, and we found out that the wolves in power were all involved. They agreed with one another to keep quiet about it, and they will answer for it when they arrive here today," Alpha Jace declared.A knock came on the door before I could give
