The Alpha's Icebound Secret Chapter 38 — The Emergency Session
Aria's POV They took us back to the same stone chamber within the hour. The fire was already burning when we arrived, and all five seats above it were occupied, even though it was already late. The silver-haired woman sat in the centre this time, watching us as we walked down the stone steps. "This Council was not convened to discuss a fake-dating arrangement tonight," she said, before anyone had even properly sat down. "Warden Voss tells me a facility on neutral ground was breached. That an intruder carried a mark none of us has seen catalogued in this Circle for over a generation. That a woman none of us knows appeared out of nowhere and killed a man with her bare will alone." Her eyes moved to my mother last, settling there. "I would like to hear from her first." My mother stepped forward without waiting to be told twice. "My name is Elena. I left the Ravenwood Clan before my daughter was born. I have not spoken to anyone from it in over twenty years." "The Ravenwood Clan disb
The Alpha's Icebound Secret Chapter 37 — What She Would Not Say
Aria's POV They dragged the unconscious man into the main hall while Iris checked his pulse and pupils. The strange burn mark on his temple looked like something had scorched him from the inside. "He is alive," she said. "Barely.” "How long can he hold?" Voss asked. "I do not know yet. I have never seen anything cause damage quite like this." Iris pulled back one of his sleeves, and we all leaned closer. A mark sat just below his elbow. Black ink faded into silver around the edges, forming a symbol none of us recognised—three interlocking rings around a closed eye. Voss went very still. "That is not a pack mark. That is not Circle either." "You know it," my mother said. It was not a question. “I’ve seen it once before. A long time ago. It was in a report I was told to forget existed.” Voss looked at the mark again. “This is not something I can decide alone. I need to call an emergency session. The full Council. Tonight.” "You think it is that serious," Coach Reeves sa
The Alpha's Icebound Secret Chapter 36 — Blood in the Air
Aria's POV A single shout cut through the dark outside, cut off too fast to have finished whatever warning it meant to give. I sat up before I'd even fully processed the sound, my heart already slamming. Kael was on his feet before I'd opened my eyes properly, standing between me and the door with a stillness that had nothing calm in it at all. "Something's wrong." Kael's head was already turned toward the door, nostrils flaring slightly. "That was too quiet after that shout. Wardens don't go down without more noise than that." "You think they're already down." "I think whoever's out there knew what they were doing." The door didn't creak open. It was ripped from its hinges and crashed to the floor. Two figures stepped through the broken doorway, their faces covered. The way they moved made it clear they knew exactly what they were doing. Kael met the first one head-on before it had fully cleared the doorway. The sound that came out of him wasn't a shout. It was lower, ro
The Alpha's Icebound Secret Chapter 35 – A Marker With No Name
Aria's POVMaya and I watched through the narrow window as Voss and Iris stood in the clearing, close together, neither one moving for what felt like far longer than it probably was."They are not coming in," Maya said quietly. "Is that good or bad.""I do not know. I do not think either of them knows either."Kael stood behind me the whole time, his hand resting on my shoulder, tense enough that I could feel it through the fabric of my shirt. I had stopped trying to guess what any of this meant an hour ago. There was simply too much I did not know to make a good guess out of any of it.When the door finally opened, Voss came in first, Iris a step behind him, the leather case back in her hands like she needed something to hold onto."Sit down," Voss said. Not unkind, exactly, but not gentle either.I sat on the edge of the bed. Kael sat beside me, close enough that our shoulders touched."Your blood contains a marker," Iris said, before Voss could speak first. "Something old. Somethin
The Alpha's Icebound Secret Chapter 34 – Under Observation
*Aria's POV* I woke up in a narrow stone room I didn't recognize until the last few hours came back to me all at once, the fire, the moon, the collapse, Kael's arms catching me before I hit the ground. He was asleep in a chair pulled close to the bed, still in his jacket, his hand resting near mine on the blanket like he hadn't quite let go even in sleep. I sat up slowly, testing the strange banked heat still sitting low in my chest. Still there. Still quiet. The door opened without a knock. A woman I hadn't seen before stepped in, younger than Voss, carrying a leather case that made my stomach drop the second I saw it. "Miss Bennett. I'm Warden Iris." She set the case on the small table by the bed and began unbuckling it, businesslike, without asking permission. "I've been assigned to assess what happened last night. This won't take long." Kael was awake instantly, sitting forward. "Assess how." "Blood. A few basic reflex tests. Nothing invasive." Iris did not look up from the
The Alpha's Icebound Secret Chapter 33 — What They Decide
*Aria's POV* They made us wait by the fire while the Council deliberated. We were close enough to hear their voices, but not the actual words, a low, urgent murmur that never resolved into anything we could follow. Kael had not let go of my hand since he pulled me up from the grass. Maya sat close beside me, still pale, still watching me like she expected something else to happen if she looked away. Damien stood a few feet off, arms crossed, staring at the small door the Council had disappeared through. "They've been in there twenty minutes," he said. "Feels longer," Maya said. "It is longer than it was for our hearing." Coach Reeves had not sat down since we returned to the fire, pacing a slow line between us and the treeline. "That is not a good sign, for what it's worth." "Thank you for that comforting update," Damien said. "I'm not in the business of comforting anyone tonight." I looked down at my hand, still laced with Kael's, trying to tell if the strange feeling
