The Alpha's Icebound Secret Chapter 47 — The Terms
*Aria's POV* Voss sat at the head of the kitchen table, the folder closed in front of him. Behind him, the window was still cracked from my earlier lesson. Caius had not moved from his chair, and Elena had just placed a cup of tea in front of Voss. "I do not drink anything in this house," Voss said. Elena sat across from him. "You are in my kitchen, Warden. Say what you came to say." Kael took the chair beside mine, close enough for his shoulder to press against mine. Voss glanced at the space between our chairs before looking at me. "Miss Bennett, three reports reached the Council before midnight. A highway covered in frost for a quarter of a mile. Attackers frozen where they stood. And a photograph of the bus, taken by one of my own watchers." He opened the folder, then closed it again. "The Council's first instinct was to take you into custody. I argued against it." "Why?" I asked. "Because you froze a highway without knowing how to control your power. That makes you dangero
The Alpha's Icebound Secret Chapter 46 — Cold Hands
Aria's POV Voss stopped in the doorway with one boot over the threshold. He had come in with three Wardens behind him and a folder under his arm, already speaking, already angry. Then his eyes found Caius at the kitchen table, and whatever he had been about to say went out of him. The folder slid from under his arm and landed flat on the tile. Nobody picked it up. "That is not possible," Voss said. It was the first time I had ever heard him say anything quietly. Caius lifted the cup of tea he had been eyeing for ten minutes and finally took a sip. "Warden." Voss put one hand against the wall. I do not think he knew he had done it. "Everyone out," he said, without looking away from Caius. "Except Elena." "Absolutely not." Kael had come in on Voss's heels, his face dark with temper. "Kael." Elena did not turn around. "Please." I looked at Caius. He gave me the smallest nod. "It is okay," I told Kael, and got up before my legs could talk me out of it. --- Night had fallen, an
The Alpha's Icebound Secret Chapter 45 — The First Lesson
Aria's POV Kael was outside with Coach Reeves, arguing with the watchers about shift changes. I had told him I needed an hour. I spent it at the kitchen table, staring at three glasses of water Elena had lined up in a row. "He should be here by now," she said, checking the window for the third time. "Mom, you have been saying that since sunset." The back door swung open. A gust of cold air swept into the kitchen, and a man stood in the doorway with his hands in his coat pockets. I recognised him. He was the strange man who had been watching me at the game. "You were at the game." "I was." He closed the door behind him. "Your team won by two goals. Your defence should be ashamed of itself." "Caius," Elena said. Her voice was rough. "You are late." "I am never late. People simply have a habit of arriving before they are expected." He crossed the kitchen, took the chair across from me, and looked at the three glasses of water with open disappointment. "Water. Elena, you could h
The Alpha's Icebound Secret Chapter 44 — The Seal
Aria's POV*Elena was already at the kitchen table when I came down, two mugs of tea going cold in front of her.I sat across from her. Neither of us touched the tea."You promised me an answer," I said."I know." She wrapped both hands around her mug. "I just don't know how to start a sentence that ends with the truth.""Start anywhere. I'll catch up."That got the ghost of a smile out of her, gone as fast as it came. "Your power never showed itself growing up. Not even a flicker." She looked up at me. "It wasn't because it wasn't there. It was because I sealed it."I sat very still. "You did what?""You were six days old. I got help from someone, and we wove it in deep enough that even you wouldn't feel it was there.""Why would you do that to me?""Because a child who doesn't know she's extraordinary can't accidentally show it." Her voice cracked on the word. "You would have been found in a week. A hybrid child radiating two bloodlines at once, in a world where either one alone get
The Alpha's Icebound Secret Chapter 43 — What We Don't Say
Aria's POVThe frost under my feet cracked when I shifted my weight, thin white lines branching apart like glass. I looked down at it and didn't recognize it as something I'd made."Don't move yet." Kael's voice, from somewhere behind me, still rough from the fight. "Let it finish.""Finish what?"He didn't answer. I watched the ice at the edge of the clearing go soft, then wet, then nothing at all, water running off the asphalt in thin black lines toward the ditch. Where the frozen men had stood there was only empty road now. No bodies. No blood. Just wet ground and the smell of something burnt that hadn't been there before.Headlights swung into the clearing. Three cars, then a fourth, doors opening before the engines had fully died."Over here!" Coach Reeves was shouting it before his feet hit the ground, blood soaking through the shoulder of his shirt in a dark spreading patch. "We need eyes on every one of them, now, before whatever's left of this scene disappears too."A woman I
The Alpha's Icebound Secret Chapter 42 — What the Trees Saw
*Three days earlier* The road past the old quarry had no business having traffic on it this late, which was exactly why Elena chose it. She saw him before she meant to stop. One moment the headlights showed empty asphalt, bare trees leaning in on both sides. The next, a man stood in the center of the lane, completely still, as if he had been waiting for her. She wrenched the wheel, felt the tires fight her, and brought the car to a stop three feet from where he hadn't moved at all. "You could have signaled," she said through the open window, her voice steadier than her hands. "You wouldn't have stopped for a signal." He came around to the passenger side without being asked and got in, folding himself into the seat like a man far too large for it, though he wasn't. "It has been a long time, Elena." "Not long enough that I forgot how to be furious with you." "Good. I'd have been disappointed." He looked at her properly, and something in his face softened, just enough to show the
