I 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.

    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

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   187: The Old Man

    ARIAI can't stop pacing the bedroom floor. I've never felt this pressured to take action before. I'm restless at this point, needing to do something but not knowing where to start. How can they think that this is alright for them to do?How did things get so bad for us? We had so much hope earlier on, even through all the mess. These people walked into our lives to turn everything upside down. If we'd known, we would never have accepted their brotherhood. It's clear to me now that they had an agenda from the start. They took half our pack and now, Ironclaw has more people from other packs than natives. It would be so easy to overthrow Ryder. Without the proper support, how would he be able to fight them?I'm worried sick about him. I want to pack my things and go home. But how can I do that? What about the people here? I promised Luca that I would do something. I run my fingers through my hair and tug at the roots. My mind is racing right now and I can't focus on any particular t

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   186: Bad Intentions

    ARIA"It started with smiles and all the politeness in the world," Luca begins. "When we first arrived, Alpha Dorson was still here. He's the one who showed us around and made us comfortable. Mom always said that there was something off about him. She didn't like him one bit."I interrupt to ask, "How is she?"I remember how badly things got when word spread that I was a Nocturn, but I don't blame her one bit. Nobody wanted to get in trouble. Hell, my own uncle died because of it. "Not so good," he claims. After saying this, he lowers his eyes for a few beats and I watch him. I can't help but feel guilty, even though nobody could have guessed that things would get as bad as he's describing. "All the work is getting to her. It started with them passing comments about how Moon Rose members were sacrificing a lot to make us comfortable, and of course, a lot of us decided to volunteer and do whatever we could to help out. They were supporting us with everything, after all. "But slowly,

  • The Ice Alpha’s Mate   185: The Farm

    ARIAThe rest of the day goes by slowly and I can't wait for tomorrow. I've already decided that I'm going to find out what's been happening at the farm. I can't sit and wait for things to resolve themselves. I have to go after the truth.Dinner is brought to the room and because I haven't had a proper meal in days because of the drive, I wolf everything down until I'm so stuffed I can't breathe. Zach knocks on the door and I sit up straighter while telling him to come in. I can tell by the look on his face that something's going on, but I can't guess what it is."It's strange," he comments as he makes his way to my side. "The way they're trying to avoid the topic of the other Ironclaws...they're up to something.""I'll try to find out what it is."Worry flashes across his eyes. "Maybe you should leave it to me, Luna. I'm competent enough to find out what's going on and it won't be suspicious because they're not watching me."I know he's right, but my stubbornness rises to the surf

By the time my last lesson rolls around, I don't even bother pulling out my notebook. I thought I would feel a

    ARIAI straighten myself and look into his eyes so I don't give away the fact that I'm nervous by his approach. "Yes. Aria Murdock.""Yes, the coach's daughter," he slurs. I can smell his breath from where I'm standing. I don't like it one bit."Niece," I correct.He doesn't even seem to hear me or

    ARIA The first person I see as I walk into my History class, as expected, is Ryder. My heart threatens to beat right out of my chest. Memories of the last time I saw him flood my mind uncontrollably and make my cheeks flush. The way he's looking at me doesn't help, either. Blushing, I make my w
