RYDER

I give my split lip another look in the mirror.

If I had let Dan put some stitches on it, it would've healed faster. I keep forgetting it's there and the cut keeps reopening.

Dammit.

The fall was unexpected, but it's about time I got over it. Shit happens. I can't focus on that. What stood out to me about the whole thing was how distracted I was by her. It's like her presence compelled me or something. Now that it's in the past and I can think about it more clearly, I realize it was pretty strange indeed.

I press the ice pack to my lips and keep pacing the corridor outside my father's office. He's in a meeting with his Beta, Martin Palmer. Right after, I'm sure he'll want to see me.

He usually doesn't arrange meetings with me during the week, because I have to leave my dorm and drive all the way to our house, so this has to be important.

And that's saying something, because when something is important, Calvin Drexel takes it very seriously.

After what feels like an eternity, the

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   025: Raw Anger

    RYDERDid I fucking hear that right?A date? He arranged a date for her to meet some Omega newbie? I've never fucking heard of anything like that in my entire life!Practice comes to an end. Coach calls me over, and I glare at him the entire time I'm skating toward him. He shakes his head and asks when I'm within earshot, "Is everything alright there, Drexel?""Of course. Why wouldn't it be?""I'd appreciate it if you didn't kill my players before the big game," he says pointedly.I storm past him and head to the shower room. I can feel everyone looking at me a certain way, but I couldn't possibly care less.If anyone has anything to say, they're more than welcome to say it to my face.My thoughts keep gravitating toward Aria and the conversation I overheard. After our exchange in the library, I became determined to drop whatever it is that keeps me trailing her, and finally give her what she wants.I don't want to be the guy who's forcing an uncomfortable situation. So, if she wants

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   024: The Surprise

    ARIAWhen the time to head to practice rolls around, nervousness takes over my body.I'm not looking forward to it at all.I've spent the last couple of hours in the library, trying to hide myself behind a book. However, I haven't been paying attention to anything I've been reading.Now, the time I've been dreading has come.I stride into the building, holding my bag close to me, and stop by my uncle's office, first. I can hear the sounds of the skates against the ice, so the team's already here.And why does that make me so nervous when I've finally gotten what I wanted all along—distance from Ryder?I knock on his door and thankfully, the sound is sharp enough to pull me out of my thoughts. He whirls around and I'm surprised to see a smile on his face. "Aria! Come in here. I have a surprise!"This is so random. I watch him, stunned, as I walk toward his desk. "What kind of surprise?"I think this is the first time my uncle has ever said this sentence."There's a new Omega family in

    ARIAFake.He's so damn fake.Why didn't I notice it before? Why didn't this thought cross my mind? Why, oh why, didn't I think of this before?Out of all the pants he can try to get into...why mine?I'm only glad that I never allowed myself to be fooled by his niceness. At least there, I scored some points. Even now, his concern just looks so real.Ryder Drexel is a phenomenal actor. Wow.I didn't expect him to follow me all the way to the library, so there's that. I'm a bit shocked by his presence. I decided to skip class because, one, I was already super late and two, I just didn't feel like it. I came here to be alone and think about all the crap that's been happening to me. I also want to calm down before practice begins. Uncle Barty can't see me in this state.I'm jolted out of my thoughts when Ryder steps closer to me. I step away so quickly that my back hits the bookshelf behind me hard and pain spreads all through my back. "What do you want?""I..." he begins before swallowi

    RYDER"Ryder!"I turn around and see Zach heading toward me, a massive grin on his face. He's been in this excited mood all fucking day and honestly, it's starting to get on my nerves.I'm not in the mood today. I woke up with thoughts of Aria Murdock on my mind and it's starting to really piss me off. For some reason, I keep remembering the other night. If she were anyone else, I would've gotten the hint a long time ago.But with her, everything's different.Why am I so hooked? She's just another girl. An arrogant, stuck-up girl at that.I'm genuinely wasting my time thinking about something that won't benefit me at all. I've got all kinds of girls I could distract myself with and I wouldn't feel this way.Anyone I want, I can get. It's not cockiness—it's a certainty. A fact. I've got daughters of the most influential males in our pack lined up to marry me, the future Alpha of the Ironclaw Pack. I could have anyone I wanted.So why her?I've got an important game coming up and I can'

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   021: Threats In Broad Daylight

    ARIAIt's Monday morning and I still haven't stopped thinking about the weekend.I think it was stupid to assume that I would forget it anytime soon. I was forced to rely on Ryder Drexel for warmth, and then I woke up to the feel of his erection against me.To make matters worse, for a moment there, it almost looked like we were going to kiss. Almost.It's my fault. I blame myself entirely because I should've said no to the whole bonfire thing. But no. I said yes, and then I made an even bigger mistake when I agreed to let Ryder take me there.But whatever. What's done is done and I can't obsess over the decisions I should have made.Uncle Barty is still being mean to me, so I decide not to stop by the medical room to get things ready for practice later on. The funny thing is he didn't even ask me where I spent the night.When I walked through the door of our house, I saw him passed out on the couch with multiple empty bottles of liquor before him. I cleared them away, all while feel

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   020: The Morning

    RYDERAs soon as I open my eyes, I realize that I have to get away from her.Like right the fuck now.I'm not sure how it happened, but our bodies are pressed together, and I have an arm around her waist. My nose is pressed right against the back of her skull, and every breath I take is loaded with the sweet smell of her hair. Of her.The scent is fruity and exotic, maybe pineapple, and there's a trace of that other scent—the one that keeps me on her tail, needing to get another hit of it like a drug addict.Aria stirs, and her body moves against mine, grinding right into me. I lengthen against my thigh, knowing that if she wakes up, she'll be aware of what's happening right behind her. Teeth clenched, I try to create some space between us, but she shifts again, a light moan leaving her lips in her sleep.My heart starts beating faster. Aria turns to lie on her back, and then she turns on her side again, facing me, all with closed eyes. I stare back at her in surprise, knowing she's a
