ARIA

I don't mean to, but the longer Ryder stays gone, the more I worry about him.

Where could he be?

Judging by my calculations and what he told me, Ryder should've been back by now. It's two in the afternoon.

I rub my hands and pace the floor of the living area. Occasionally, I peer out the window to stare at the stairs below, hoping to spot him. At this point, I don't know what's instinct and what's paranoia.

I have this strong feeling that something is wrong but I don't want to entertain it. Maybe I'm just imagining the worst. In the morning, I didn't want him to go. The urge to wrap my arms around his neck and never let him go was strong, but of course, I knew it would be crazy to do that.

Now, I'm starting to regret not mentioning something and acting on that bad feeling.

"No," I say out loud. "Stop it."

Ryder will be fine. In fact, soon, he will be back, and I'll feel stupid for having worried so much.

I move toward the window once more to stare at the stairs, telling my

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   112: The Settlement

    ARIA I try to ignore my anxious thoughts as I follow the woman, in wolf form, through the forest. When she first shifted, I couldn't believe my eyes. Her wolf was different from all the others I'd seen before. I asked myself if I looked the same way and realized I already knew the answer. Ryder told me he'd seen my wolf, and claimed it was the most magnificent sight he'd ever beheld. Her fur was cream-colored, nearly white, and she was enormous. In wolf form, she was much bigger than me. I walked alongside her only because I insisted. She wanted me to ride her, but I figured we'd probably go too fast and I want to take a proper look at our surroundings so I can make my way on my own back if I need to. Though there's something deep inside of me convincing me that I can trust her, I can't be too sure. It's almost impossible to see too far ahead, so I'm glued to her side and watching where I step. The last thing I need is to hurt my ankle again and make it impossible for me to wal

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   111: Persuation

    ARIAIt's getting late and Ryder still isn't back. I'm so nervous that I can hardly breathe. The Nocturn—a woman, I've now decided—is watching me patiently with her hands on her lap. She's seated directly across from me, watching me in a way that I find totally unnerving. Never saying a word. Impatiently, I stand up. This waiting is going to kill me. The harder I think about it, the worse I feel. I realized a long time ago that something was wrong, yet, I didn't act on it. "I can't take this," I say out loud. "I need to find him."The woman stands up. Since we came in and I decided to trust her, she told me only a little bit about Nocturns and emphasized that I would need to strengthen my wolf in order to face the storm that was headed our way. She then told me that I would have to go with her to the hiding place she mentioned earlier, and I told her I couldn't. That I had to wait for Ryder. Ever since, we've been waiting, not saying a word. My idea was that I would wait for his

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   110: Sworn Enemies

    RYDERI crack an eye open and see nothing. The other one is practically glued shut—too swollen to function. As for the one I can use, I don't know if I can't see shit because I'm in a dark room, or because the eye has been blinded. I vividly recall the struggle it took to get me into this small room in our basement earlier on. I fought against those wolves desperately, but there were too many of them. I couldn't fight them all. I know by now that this is my father's doing. Of course, it is. Those wolves would never dare to attack me without my father's permission. The good thing is that they didn't wait to follow me to the cabin, but that doesn't mean that my father won't send them there to look for her. I'm worried. The sinking realization that I'm locked in this room, so far away from her and helpless, fills me with rage. I fight against the chains tying my arms behind the chair welded to the floor. I end up hurting myself even more. Though I can't see them, my wrists are sore f

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   108: Dawn

    RYDERThe sun's barely visible above the horizon when I wake up. We've been here for some time now, which means we're running out of supplies again. I told Aria I'd head into town to grab more things, and then I'd be right back. She's much better now. In my eyes, it's nothing short of a miracle because I felt like I was dying the first time I ever shifted. Aria is almost fully recovered. I guess it makes sense that her wolf is different from everyone else's. Ever since she told me what little she knows about Nocturns, I haven't been able to stop thinking about them for a second. They're far superior to us, in every way possible. The fast healing. Being able to extend this healing to others...it's out of this world and incredible. I myself felt the effect of her touch. Whenever she touched an injury of mine, it healed unnaturally fast. A lot of players noticed the same thing. Then, there was the strength of our connection. I could feel her emotions. When she was sad, I was sad, to

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   107: By The Fireplace

    ARIAI didn’t mean for things to go as far as they did. One minute, I was relaxing against him, basking in the feel of the warm water loosening all my muscles while he played with my hair. The next, our lips were locked and I was reaching between his legs, fisting his cock under the water. “Aria,” he said breathless against my lips, “you’re hurt and shouldn’t—”“I’m fine,” I interrupted, stroking his shaft. Ryder kissed me again, more deeply this time. My hand moved faster. I was so sure of what I was doing, even though I’d never done it before. I watched his face for his reaction, feeling every grunt and every moan deep in my soul. We rinsed off after he came, and now, we’re on the couch, holding each other. I feel a lot better after the bath, but I’m still sore in places, and I have this feeling like if I just close my eyes, I’ll sleep forever. I’ll never wake up. Ryder started a fire in the hearth in the living room, and we’re seated directly in front of it. He keeps running h
