Nina Hayes POV.

“No.” I yelled in Kate's face.

Kate neared my pillow, she hooked her chin on my chest, breathing hot on my face while I scrolled my phone peacefully.

“But you can't say no to me.”

“And why not?”

“Because you're using my name for goodness sake. You're lying to Killian about Jace and me, you might as well pay me for it.”

I shoved Kate away gently, rounding up to sit straightened on my bed.

“And your payment is supposed to be me doing your homework?”

“Yes.”

The muscles on my forehead tightened. “No.”

“But you're smarter than me. You've always known things about…” her fingers twinkled as she pointed at the piles of excessive paper next to my nightstand. “...health and wellness. With you, I can ace this test and you know I really need this.”

Kate had a point. A solid one. As much as we hung out together and everyone thought we were nerds, Kate wasn't.

Kate loved art. The music and novelty part of it. She wasn't book smart. Especially not during exams or tests.

    Aiden's POV"There is a large gathering in the premises of Velmora college. As soon as you step inside, you can follow the sound of the party. Jace is right there. Nina is, of course. I can't find her brother in there, neither can I find Derek too, but you can hang around, should we need you to show up at any moment." Murphy sent me a lengthy message and I quickly got into the restroom to have a shower. I wore another new set of outfits, ready to get this done today. Tomorrow, the official competition between the two strong rivals, Jace and I, would begin, and I would be automatically disqualified to participate if I didn't show up with my own preferred Luna. "Is the plan working out?" I sent a response, after half an hour. I was already in Velmora college, right inside the VIP hall. I wore a mask to ensure no one noticed my presence. I didn't want Jace or Nina to learn about my presence in the same place they were. "I don't think so." Murphy responded. "But we can cling onto hope.

    Aiden's POV"I kid you not. I don't have anyone else to consider. Nina is the only girl in my mind, and I will compete with the three men you mentioned, and I will win." I reaffirmed. I truly needed that. I was close to giving up because of his so-called brilliant pieces of advice. "Before I was appointed as your private guard and driver, I was a research analyst. According to the research I made, some days ago, I think you're right about the qualities that Derek possesses. He loves clubbing, and outings, and he will bow to Nina to get into her pants. We have something to work on already but there's a problem." Murphy said. We'd gotten down from the car, and walked into my elegant room. Jace's room wasn't as great as mine, he wouldn't argue with me on that, I promise. "Can you find him and make an attempt to take him down? Not through violence or coercion, know how the stuff works, right?" I winked, and he gave a simple nod. He changed his clothes and left my room. I rubbed my palm

  • The Alpha's Ice Queen   Chapter 159

    Aiden's POV"We can try again tomorrow. She's probably still mad at you." Murphy, my newest private guard, advised as I stepped out of the training ring. I'd spotted Jace in the ring, and Derek coming from a distance. The day would have been longer if I'd stayed back there. "Mad at me? She smiled, agreed to catch up with me, and now she's suddenly cold?" Leaning on my door, I replied to him. Actually, chatting with someone in a lower rank shouldn't happen, but this was a desperate moment. "You said you saw Jace hiding somewhere in the ring, perhaps at the back of the long pole where the punching bags are tied. Jace must have snuck into that place to see if Nina will cheat on him with you. Nina is smart. She's a white wolf now and her senses are on high alert. She must have heard his footsteps thudding on the ground and denied you access. Try again when there is no trace of Jace or any other male people she relates with." Murphy gave a long piece of advice, earning a smile from me.

  • The Alpha's Ice Queen   Chapter 158

    Aiden's POVDamn, I didn't expect my father to make an announcement about the competition so soon. Although he'd told me months ago to make sure I wasn't alone, it was sudden to receive the news of the announcement that shook the ground of Velmora. The competition would begin officially the day after tomorrow. The winner would win Velmora. The wolves would be around to watch us to make the election process clean, free and fair. Hearing the news, after being embarrassed by Nina some days ago, crushed my heart and braced up my mind for whatever hurdles still stood in my way. This was now deeply urgent, and my ego might have to sit somewhere till the throne would become officially mine. "Hi Nina, can we talk? I promise it'll be in the open, somewhere safe and secure, and we will get you whatever you want, no matter the price." I clicked the send option and the text message got delivered immediately. I shut my eyes, placing the phone on the table as I silently prayed I'd get a good res

    Nina's POV"There will be a tournament between my sons and their prospective Lunas. The winner will rule Velmora." Jace read. "When did he announce that?" "This morning. He's made up his mind." Jace responded. "Or better put, he feels pressured by those around him—the Elders, the wolves, everyone, including me. I never stop disturbing him since he declared me innocent." "I still don't get it. Amara wouldn't confess. How did you make her?" My hands still crossed on his shoulders, I asked. I was deeply curious about how this played out. Even though I knew Jace wouldn't make any payment to get this done, it wouldn't be a bad idea to find out. "I underwent a series of depressive states. I tried to explain how I feel to you, but you were never going to listen to me. Aiden seized the chance to make me sadder, but at the end of the day, the truth has been revealed. And we're fine." Jace explained. His tone suggested that he didn't want to continue with the topic. It reopened the wounds h

  • The Alpha's Ice Queen   Chapter 156

    Jace's POV"Welcome home, sweetheart. You've been gone for about 10 hours. And, no, you didn't tell me you were going to stay so long outside." Amara said as soon as I walked into Velmora's hallway. My personal guard stood behind me, holding onto my travel bag, while I paused my movement to listen to Amara's untrue statements. "I am not your sweetheart, Amara. I am not under any obligation to tell you how much time I'm gonna spend outside, either." I gave a quick response as I brushed past her."Another woman arrived in the morning and claimed you got her pregnant. She came with three kids and the Alpha said he would like to see you one-on-one." Amara's words stopped me dead in the tracks. What sort of a regenerated problem was this?."Three kids? What's the name of the woman?" I turned around to ask. She finally got the attention she's been desperately seeking. I could have utterly denied being a father to three kids, but there were countless times when I got drunk and had to be dri
