RYDER

I’m fuming to the point where the edges of my vision are turning red, and Alpha Dorson drones on, oblivious to the fact that I’m one bad decision away from ripping his head right off his shoulders.

“…that’s why we can’t afford to give you more guards. We believe that everyone is entitled to equal protection. That’s what we’re here for, right? To ensure that everyone receives fair treatment. This matter you just described appears to be personal. It has nothing to do with the matter at han

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   193: The Hard Way

    RYDERWilson cuts Mell a little deeper, but he doesn't anticipate an attack from both sides. Finn closes his jaw around his leg, snapping his femur. He cries out and sinks to his knee, and I don't waste time. I grab his face between my hands and break his neck. His limp body falls over and I step back, shaking from head to toe. Finn shifts back and his eyes meet mine. I part my lips to speak, but I can't get a single fucking word out. "We have to move quickly," Mell rasps. I turn my attention to her and see that she has a hand pressed to the cut. The silver won't allow her to heal quickly, so we're going to need help. "Once they find out he's dead..."I can hardly believe what I've done. I can't even feel relieved because Aria is still in Moon Rose, surrounded by all those monsters. I reach Mell and tell her, "We need to find more Nocturns and get this checked.""I'm alright.""Are you sure?"She cackles. "I've had worse done to me. We have to find a way to get to Aria! Moon Rose i

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   192: Ill Intent

    RYDERIt doesn't take me too long to figure out that the knife he's holding against Mell's throat is made of silver. The glare of it almost disorients me, but I refuse to take my eyes off his face. Mell's panicked eyes meet mine for a fraction of a second and I see the pleading look in her eyes though I'm not sure what she's asking for exactly. "Going somewhere?" he questions. My anger rips through me. It takes every drop of self-restraint to stay put and not attack him outright. Every wrong move will directly impact Mell's life and we can't lose more people to the mess that is this war. "What the fuck do you want?" I demand, not bothering to hide my contempt. At the first opportunity, I'll end him. I swear on everything that's dear to me that I will. "I don't understand why you can't just stay put," he hisses. The good guy mask has slipped from his face, and he's revealing exactly who he is. Took him long enough. "How can I do that when you're a threat to everything I'm tryin

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   191: Restrained

    ARIAI can't deny how her words seem to travel down my spine and send goosebumps all over my body. What does she mean by I'm no longer wanted here?"You were supposed to cooperate with us like an ally, but instead, you proved to be unreliable." She looks up at the woman who claimed to be the real Luna of this pack, then adds, "You were tested and failed."I stare at the woman and she simply smiles at me. I then shake my head, refusing to believe this. "That's not true," I let out. "There's something you must've done to cause all this! I don't believe you're who you say you are!"The old man outside wrote Wilson on the dirt and pointed at himself. I have to trust my instincts here, no matter what she says. But what if...what if everything was truly fabricated? What then?Yarina throws her head back and laughs. The people around the table shift uncomfortably. Some are still staring at me with blank expressions on their faces. Others are starting to get a little angry. "My, my...you'

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   190: Testing

    ARIAI exchange a look with Yarina and tell her, "Hide, quickly!""Where?""Under the bed!"I head toward the door while she starts crawling under the bed. Yarina, or rather, the woman posing as her keeps knocking on the door and calling my name. I open the door only once the real Yarina is out of sight and the impersonator smiles at me. "Took you long enough. Is everything alright, Luna Aria?"I can't smile back at her even though, at this point, my life practically depends on it. "Everything's perfectly fine. What do you want?"She lets out a chuckle. "Well, you don't have to be defensive. I just wanted to call you down for lunch.""Someone already brought lunch, but thank you."Alarm widens her eyes. "Who? I didn't send anyone up here with your food."She eyes the tray over my shoulder and panic washes over me. Dammit, I didn't know that the real Yarina hadn't been sent up here. Then again, why would she? If they're trying so hard to hide her, why would they send her my way?"Who

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   189: Taking Action

    RYDEREvery day I wake up and tell myself that I've had enough of this separation. I need Aria with me. My wolf is going crazy at this point, and it's getting harder and harder for me to control it, especially when I experience intense emotions during wolf form. Rage. Hatred. Sadness. Since we bonded, I haven't been away from her, and I underestimated how much it would take from me. Does she feel the same way I feel? Does she want to come home? I sent her a few letters some days ago, but I still haven't received a reply. It's driving me fucking insane, and it doesn't help that I know Wilson and Dorson have their own agenda. What if she never gets these letters?The thought makes me hate them more than I already do. Things between us are civil now. We spend our days fighting and cleaning up the mess afterwards. There are days when I'm glad Aria isn't here to see all this bloodshed, but there are others when I don't understand what went over me when I agreed to Wilson's advice. I s

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   188: Impersonators

    ARIAThree days come and go, and though it hasn't been all that long, it's like the days are starting to blend together. I spend most of my time in my room, but whenever I have the chance, I head outside to see if the old man approaches me again. I haven’t seen him since the day he wrote ‘Wilson’ in the dirt. I’ve sent a few letters to Ryder and I’m awaiting his response. I just really want to know how he’s doing. The distance is really putting a strain on our bond. I feel the occasional throb here and there, and I wish I had a way of reaching out to him, but the phones only work within the pack, and I’ll have to rely on messengers who will undoubtedly read all our exchanges. I haven’t seen much of Zach in the last few days and whenever we come across each other, he seems…off. I felt it yesterday, and when he stopped by the room in the morning to find out if I needed something, I felt the same thing. With each passing day, I’ve been feeling more and more paranoid. It’s either that

We're happy to have you.""Thank you," I say, flashing him an anxious smile. "I'm glad to be back.""Let's hope

I'm having a hard time quieting my mind. It's just so much. I spent my whole life thinking I was a runt, but apparently, I'm

There's a corner of my mind that's aware that Uncle Barty is talking to me, but not a single word registers. I'm so
