ARIA

I question myself about three hours in.

What am I doing? Where am I even supposed to go when I don't know anyone outside of Ironclaw? If I ask Cassandra for help, she'll alert my uncle and then all of this will be for nothing.

Maybe I'm being too pessimistic too soon, but I'm really wondering where the hell wolves go when they go 'rogue'. Do they just find a place to live in the forest and hang out there for the rest of their lives? Will I have to hunt for food? I've never hunted in my e

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   170: Precious Moments

    ARIAThe next morning, I’m in the tent again, working with some of the people who had minor injuries from the attack the other day. There really isn’t much to do because the Nocturns took full control the other day and healed everyone who needed it. I’m just cleaning up and disinfecting a few wounds to give people some peace of mind. The deceased members of the pack were buried earlier today. Ryder is taking all of this pretty hard. He doesn’t have to say anything because I can see it written all over his face. This whole war is starting to become a nightmare and it hasn’t even started yet. Someone touches my shoulder, making me flinch. It’s Ryder, though. “Did I scare you?”“A little,” I admit, putting my hand on my hip and turning away from the cabinets. “Is everything okay?”“I just want you to meet someone.”A crease forms between my eyebrows as I follow him through the tent. Meet someone? Who could it be? Outside, a short, plump woman is standing close to the entrance with a

    RYDERZach leaves the cell and makes his way toward me. "It's done," he says excitedly. "We're gonna keep an eye on the building and as soon as he escapes, we'll be right behind him.""How many of you are going?""All of us," he claims. "Just in case we come across...an unpleasant situation, if you know what I mean. Why? Is that a problem?""No. We'll be fine here."Zach nods. A moment of silence passes between us, and then he asks, "Do you think he's alive?""He could be," I state. "Aria has seen him twice. We can't be too careful.""If he's alive, we'll find him," he assures me. "He doesn't deserve to live, not after what he did. We all still feel terrible for what happened to Tyler. We never found the rest of his body."Thoughts of Tyler flash through my mind in a matter of seconds, and something twists inside of me. It's light, but noticeable. I realize I haven't thought about him at all since all of this happened, and even when his head was delivered to us, all I could think ab

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   168: Loyal Gathering

    ARIAI thought that our group would be larger, but it’s not. Sure, the living room is crowded with people, but we’re the minority. Ironclaw is surrounded by enemies now. We’re not at peace in our own pack. Nothing devastates me more. The group consists of Anne and all the Nocturns who came here with her—the ones of fighting age, of course—and Ryder’s hockey team. Well, the ones who stayed to fight. Anne is the one who breaks the silence. “I heard that you’re stepping down as leader of this revolution, Ryder. Is that true?”“Yes. I had to. I didn’t have a choice. That’s why we’re all here.”I place my hand on his back to encourage him to keep going. We didn’t want this to happen and we’d even discussed how we would never let Alpha Dorson or Wilson take control of our pack, but in this case, if we didn’t make that decision, then Ryder’s reputation would go down the drain. It’s a difficult moment for him, so I’m really proud of how he’s been reacting. I’m sure everyone else will un

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   167: Granting Wishes

    RYDERI follow Zach through the road, trying to prepare myself for what I'm about to see. I hear their shouts before I see them. The mob is standing right in front of Ironclaw U, and standing right in front of them, seemingly trying to appease them, is Alpha Dorson. The sight of his face fills me with rage and my footsteps slow. Zach must notice this because he pauses and looks back at me. He opens his mouth to tell me something but doesn't have a chance to because Aria approaches us. "Ryder," she says breathlessly, fisting my shirt in her hands, "what will you do?""You should've stayed home.""Not a chance."My gaze shifts back to the crowd and this time, Alpha Dorson and I make eye contact. He has a clear smug look on his face, which slowly disappears until his expression is blank, but he doesn't convince me. I know that he's the reason why all of this is happening. He planned this from the very start—both he and Wilson. "Ryder," Aria says again, concern lacing her voice. I t

    ARIAI'm running through the woods again, chasing him. He's right in front of me. I can smell him in the air this time, and I won't stop until I've caught him and asked him what the hell he wants from us. But then he disappears once again. I stop, my panting loud in the empty forest. I look around until my head is spinning, but I can't see where he's gone. Am I imagining all this? Is it all just in my head?Have I gone crazy?Just when I'm about to give up and head back to Ironclaw, I whirl around and there he is. I barely have time to think before he attacks, teeth sinking right into the fleshy part of my neck. I howl and the pain rips me from this nightmare. I sit up in bed, covered in sweat and breathing hard. I'm in my room. I'm home. Ray isn't here. I look over at Ryder in the dark and he's still fast asleep. I let the sight of him reassure me. I didn't even hear him come home last night because he spent so much time in the medical tent, questioning the guys who were in c

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   165: Aftermath

    RYDERThe attackers have all been killed, except for a handful who ran away. Anne told me that Aria would be at home with the doors locked, but after finding it empty, despair washes over me.Where is she?I start looking for her like a madman, starting with the places where she can usually be find. The medical tent is empty, and I doubt that she'd return to her uncle's gravesite, but I'll have to check anyway, because if she's not there, then I don't know what I'm going to do with myself.I cross the town square and ignore everyone all around me. The Nocturns are rushing toward the people who've been injured in hopes of healing them. I should be trying to find out where these attackers came from and how they got through our people, but I don't have time for that, not right now."Alpha Ryder."I keep going."Alpha Ryder!"A hand clamps down on my shoulder and I turn my head to look over my shoulder. I see Alpha Dorson standing behind me and sure enough, Wilson isn't that far behind hi
