The Weight of Frost They Deserve Each Other
When Stephen finally rolled over, the cabin was still bathed in the faint, muted light bleeding through the edges of the curtains. For a brief, disoriented second, he hoped he had slept straight through the night and it was the following morning. But as his heavy eyes focused on the wall clock, it read exactly 6:30 PM. It was still light outside.As the lingering fog of sleep began to clear, the distant, lively sounds of the Midway and the clatter of the food tents drifted into his brain, bringing with them a gnawing, hollow ache in his stomach. He had to eat.He dragged his battered body out of bed and pulled on a clean shirt and pants. With a grimace, he shoved his feet back into his stiff, mud-caked boots. He pushed the heavy cabin door open and stepped out onto the porch, violently stomping his boots against the wood to knock the dried dirt loose.Then, he froze.Walking down the quiet, secluded path toward the neighboring Silver Paw cabin was Emerald. Her leather satchel hung emp
The Weight of Frost He Was
Stephen stood entirely frozen, staring at the table where Emerald and the Frost Alpha were sitting. His chest heaved with a toxic cocktail of exhaustion, public humiliation, and violent, possessive jealousy.He was just about to drop his plate and storm over there to demand exactly what was going on when a flash of movement out of the corner of his eye stopped him dead in his tracks.Entering the far side of the dining tent was Julia.She wasn't alone. She was huddled in the corner, speaking in hushed, urgent tones with two low-ranking grunts—the un-mated spares brought along to fill in if a starting warrior got injured. Stephen watched as Julia leaned in close, her hand resting entirely too intimately on the larger grunt's arm. She didn't point, but Stephen tracked her gaze. He saw exactly where she was looking.She was staring dead at Emerald.Stephen's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenching so hard his teeth ground together. What is that bitch up to now? Suddenly, Julia’s eyes cut across
The Weight of Frost Entirely Free
That afternoon, after everyone who could manage to sleep finally had, the massive dining tents transitioned seamlessly from a late breakfast into an early lunch. The atmosphere was loud and relaxed, filled with the comforting smells of roasted meats and fresh bread as the rested festival-goers mingled.Zyan ducked under the heavy canvas flap of the main tent, his green eyes scanning the crowd. It didn't take him long to spot his sister. Reagan was sitting at one of the long, rustic wooden tables, but she wasn't alone.Sitting right beside her, bathed in the warm afternoon sunlight filtering through the canvas, was Emerald.Zyan felt his chest tighten, his wolf immediately pressing forward at the sight of her. He navigated through the crowded tables, keeping his heavy Alpha aura completely locked down so he wouldn't startle her. As he approached, he realized the two women were huddled over a large, leather-bound sketchbook."Zyan, look at this," Reagan called out excitedly as he steppe
The Weight of Frost Julia Schemes
Julia lay flat on her back in the dark, staring up at the rough wooden beams of the Claw Mountain cabin ceiling. Her skin was still crawling, hot and prickly with the lingering, phantom weight of Reagan’s oppressive Alpha aura.She twisted her fingers violently into the bedsheets, her teeth grinding together so hard her jaw ached.The Midway had been an absolute disaster. She had walked into that market intending to assert her dominance, to elegantly tear down the Frost pack's fragile little princess. Instead, she had been publicly humiliated. Pinned to a wooden post like a disobedient pup and forced to bow her head in the dirt.Reagan Frost was completely off the table. Julia couldn't manipulate her.With a frustrated snarl, Julia rolled over, punching her pillow. If she couldn't fix what had happened on the Midway, she had to focus on the real problem: Stephen. She had to secure her hold on him before Emerald’s sudden, sickening resurgence of confidence made him start second-guessin
The Weight of Frost Toxic Consuming Rage
Cobb, Nesha, and Emerald rose from the bleachers, their muscles stiff from the cold night air. With the first team crossing the finish line right at five in the morning, the official twenty-four-hour rest period had begun. The battered warriors had until five o’clock the following morning to recover—there was no rush to wake up early. The dining tents wouldn’t even open for breakfast until eight, and the next round of games wouldn't be until ten the following morning. Leaving the day for resting and then opening the midway at three.The walk back to the Silver Paw guest quarters was peaceful in the pre-dawn light. Emerald walked perfectly in step between her aunt and uncle, slipping her arms through theirs, her smile gentle and genuine.Cobb and Nesha shared a soft, knowing look over her head. For the last year, Emerald had been like a terrified little mouse, always shrinking into the shadows to avoid pain. But tonight, surrounded by the fierce protection of her Silver Paw family and
The Weight of Frost Five in the Morning
The final stretch of the outward course brought the competitors to the edge of a massive clearing. Looming high above the dark tree line stood a formidable row of fifteen towering wooden monoliths.“The Spires,” Reagan announced, her voice slightly hoarse from hours of cheering. “This is the turnaround point. Since there are thirty teams in the heat, there are two packs assigned to each tower.”Emerald frowned, watching the first teams swarm the structures on the screens. “So they just pick a side and climb up?”“Not exactly,” Reagan grinned. “They have to find which side of the tower belongs to them first. Their pack name is hidden somewhere on the structure, and it’s completely randomized. Could be carved high up, stamped down low, etched into a crossbar, or hammered into a small plaque buried at the base. If they climb the wrong side, it’s an immediate penalty.”On the screens, the camera feeds showed exhausted lead teams frantically searching the carved wood and muddy ground in th
