Cressida's pov

Coach Gilbert was back and the substitute Aldric was gone.

He walked into the rink with his scarred eyebrow raised and his clipboard tucked under his arm and his face carved from stone. The team had been running drills without him for weeks and the chaos had scattered them and the rhythm was off. But he was here now and his voice was loud and his presence was steady.

"Line up," he said.

The players scrambled.

"Faster."

They scrambled faster.

"I said line up."

They lined up and t

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The Empty Warmth

    Cressida's pov I woke up cold.That was the first thing I noticed. The cold that had nothing to do with winter and everything to do with absence. The cold of reaching for something that was not there and the cold of expecting warmth that never came. My hand moved instinctively across the pillow, searching for the familiar weight, the soft fur, the steady purr that had become as essential to my survival as breathing.Nothing.My eyes flew open and I sat up and the blanket fell to my waist and the room was quiet and the bed was empty. The fire had burned low and the candles had guttered and the shadows were long and deep. The pillow beside me was cold and the sheets were cold and the silence was absolute. The frost was already spreading across the window and the cold was seeping into my bones and the fear was rising in my chest."Ember?" My voice was rough and my throat was tight and the word felt wrong in the empty room.No answer.I swung my legs over the side of the bed and my feet

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The hollow feeling

    Lucian's povThe training yard was cold and the snow was packed and the torches were burning and the world was quiet.I stood at the center of the circle with my blade in my hand and my chest heaving and my eyes distant. The cold bit at my skin and the wind howled through the trees and the snow fell in soft, silent sheets. But I did not feel any of it. My body was there but my mind was elsewhere and my heart was elsewhere and my focus was shattered into a thousand pieces. Kade was across from me and his blade was drawn and his eyes were sharp. He had been watching me for the past hour and his patience was wearing thin."Lucian," he said."Kade.""Focus.""I am focused.""You are not.""I am.""You are not."He lunged and I moved and the steel clashed and the sparks flew. The impact vibrated up my arm and the sound echoed off the stone walls. But my movements were slow and my reactions were dull and my heart was not in it. The fight felt like a chore and the rhythm felt like a burden a

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The Gilded Cage

    Sha's povThe estate was cold and the halls were empty and the silence was suffocating.I sat in my room and the windows were tall and the view was vast and the world outside was white and still. The fire was crackling and the candles were flickering and the room was warm. But the warmth did not reach me and the comfort did not touch me and the peace did not find me. I was trapped in a gilded cage and I was rotting from the inside out. The walls were covered in expensive tapestries and the floors were covered in thick carpets and the furniture was carved from dark wood. But none of it mattered. None of it could fill the emptiness that had taken root in my chest.My father had summoned me home and my mother had pretended to be concerned and my siblings had pretended to care. But I knew the truth. They were ashamed of me and they were embarrassed by me and they were waiting for me to disappear. The suspension was meant to be a punishment and it was meant to be a lesson and it was meant

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The Garden of Rebirth

    Cressida's pov The greenhouse was warm and the glass was fogged and the air was thick with the smell of soil and green things and life.I had been coming here every day and the plants were responding and the flowers were blooming and the world was healing. The frost was still there and the cold was still there and the fear was still there. But the garden was there too. The garden that I had planted with my own hands and the garden that I had nurtured with my own heart and the garden that was growing despite everything. The glass walls were streaked with condensation and the light filtered through in soft golden beams and the shadows were long and gentle. The heat wrapped around me like a blanket and the scent of earth and green things filled my lungs.I knelt beside a bed of new seedlings and my fingers brushed the leaves and the scent was fresh and the touch was grounding. The soil was dark and rich beneath my nails and the warmth of the greenhouse seeped into my cold skin. The fros

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The Quiet Hours

    Cressida's pov The dormitory room was cold and the fire had burned low and the candles were flickering and the shadows were long.I sat on the edge of my bed with my knees pulled to my chest and my arms wrapped around myself and my eyes fixed on the wall. Ember was curled beside me and her purr was soft and steady and her warmth was a comfort. The frost was still there and the cold was still there and the fear was still there. But the quiet was there too. The quiet of the empty room and the quiet of the night and the quiet of being alone. The silence pressed in on me from all sides and the weight of it settled on my chest like a stone.I had been sitting here for hours and my mind was drifting and my thoughts were wandering and my heart was heavy. The weight of everything was pressing down on me and I could not shake it. The witches and the war and the frost. The council and the enforcers and the hunters. Lucian and Raven and Benita and Tasha. Niko and his return and his apology and

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The Frostfall Cup Countdown

    Lucian's pov The rink was cold and the ice was black and the lights were bright and the air was sharp.I stood at center ice with my arms crossed and my jaw tight and my eyes scanning the team. They were scattered across the rink and their movements were sluggish and their passes were sloppy and their heads were not in the game. The Frostfall Cup was in three weeks and the team was not ready. The Frostfall Cup was the biggest tournament of the season and the most prestigious and the most brutal. Every pack in the region would be there and every team would be fighting and every wolf would be bleeding. And we looked like we had already lost."Line up," I shouted.They lined up."Faster."They went faster."Harder."They went harder.I watched them and the frustration was building and the anger was rising and the disappointment was growing. They were not focused and they were not ready and they were not going to win. The passes were wide and the shots were high and the defense was porou

    Cressida's povA sharp pain like a blade between my ribs was what jolted me as I regained consciousness.My fingers flew to touch the injury on my face, it was closing. Thank goodness.Shit. That means half my cover has been blown."It's just me here don't panic" I turned and that's when I noticed

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    Run Or Burn

    Cressida's pov "She's just ahead, hurry"They were right behind me, I could feel them. Wolves.And definitely but the civilized kind. They felt different just like savages. Rouges perhaps, that can be the only breed to give this kind of strong burning stench.Ever since I passed through the bord

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The welcome assembly

    Lucian's povI couldn't outrun the way she smelled like lavender and herbs no matter how hard I tried.But there was one question I have been meaning to ask her."Who hurt you?" I said absentmindedly as I stared at myself in the mirror.Early morning today was really good, so many kills had improve
