Chapter 29: Thoughts

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-22 05:48:54

Rhett took me back home, but I couldn’t sleep. My mind was racing with everything I had learned. The moment I saw my mom stirring awake, I rushed to her, unable to hold back my questions any longer.

“Mom, what was that all about? Why didn’t you ever tell me?” I asked, frustration lacing my voice.

She sighed, rubbing her temples. “Darling, I was afraid you’d get entangled in all of this—just like you are now. I wanted you to have a normal life, to enjoy yourself, find your mate, have pups, and live with freedom. The role of a High Priestess comes with heavy expectations. I didn’t want that for you.”

I frowned. “Did Dad know?”

“Yes, he did,” she admitted. “And he wanted to keep you safe.”

I hesitated before asking, “Can you make a fist of ice too? Or was that just the water freezing around me?”

“No, I can’t,” she said, shaking her head. “Each of us is gifted in a different way, but not like that.”

“What is your gift?” I pressed.

“I have the ability to calm people, to cool their emotions

  • Whispers of Frost and Fire   Chapter 72: 400

    Alpha Rhett’s POVOut of the 400 wolves staring at Aurelia, only a handful erupted in anger. They needed someone to blame, and some had decided that person was her.I’d be sure to make a note of that in the interview process. I wasn’t putting Aury in more danger than she was already in."For those who do not want to stay," I said, raising my voice over the murmurs, "please return to your rooms. Use the phones provided to make your arrangements to move elsewhere. You have until noon tomorrow to leave the premises. A bus will depart at 8 p.m. today to take you to the nearest human town where you can catch a train or bus.""Those who choose to stay, please gather with your families. Interviews will begin shortly."Aurelia’s POVI had never seen new pack members arrive in my old pack before. This was a first.“Brandon, how are the interviews done?” I asked, curious.“The Alpha puts them under command and asks questions about their intentions,” Brandon explained. “If they pass, they go thr

  • Whispers of Frost and Fire   Chapter 71: Community

    Alpha Rhett’s POVThe Glacier Hollow wolves began to arrive in groups huddled in cars crammed with whatever pieces of home they could salvage. Burnt clothes. Cracked picture frames. Shattered weapons that had failed to protect them. Their stories matched: the pack had been leveled. Not a single building was left unscathed. The demons hadn’t just come to fight; they’d come to annihilate.Most humans didn’t even know we existed. That was by design. Our packs built towns on the edge of vast wilderness, tucked far away from human eyes. We had our business, and yes, we had human customers, but other than that, our paths did not cross. Foraker Mountain had its own front: a private compound, rumored to outsiders to be a secluded militia base or eccentric cult grounds. Enough to discourage curiosity.The apartments we’d prepared for the Alpha Council and the annual ball weren’t glamorous, but they were functional. Compact rooms, shared kitchens, basic beds, and heating. The survivors were exh

  • Whispers of Frost and Fire   Chapter 70: Burnout

    Aurelia’s POVThe alarm shattered the stillness of the morning, three sharp howls followed by a long, descending call. An attack. Not a drill.By the time I burst from the house, the compound was already alive with movement. Warriors shifting mid-run, mothers pulling children into shelters, and Alpha Rhett’s voice barking orders over the chaos.A demon had breached the perimeter, and this time, it wasn’t alone.I didn’t wait for permission. I ran toward the scent of burning ash and rotting flesh, Alba growling low in my head. We’re stronger now. We can help.We reached the eastern ridge just as the first screams echoed through the trees. A massive demon, a hulking beast with a spiked back and oozing skin, towered above two fallen warriors. Its claws glinted red, its eyes locked on a child cowering behind a broken tree trunk.“No,” I whispered, and power surged through me without warning.I stepped between the demon and the child, raising my hand. The temperature dropped instantly, fro

  • Whispers of Frost and Fire   Chapter 69: Feelings

    Aurelia’s POVEvening brought our usual routine: dinner, cards, then stargazing on the porch with warm tea. It was comforting and predictable. Mom, Brandon, and I had settled into it like clockwork. Alpha Rhett used to join us often, especially after night training, but ever since Ares came to visit, his appearances had slowed.Tonight, the chair he usually took remained empty.And I felt it.“Cards?” Brandon offered, shuffling the deck.“I’ll skip tonight,” I said, rising too quickly. My skin itched with something I couldn’t name—anxious energy that refused to settle. There was a hollowness in my chest, and at the same time, a strange pulling sensation, like something—or someone—was missing.Alba, what is this?I don’t know, she answered softly. But I feel it too. A restlessness. Like our soul is searching for something it already knows.That night, I tossed and turned, lost in icy dreams—blizzards roaring through endless mountains, frost curling across stone like veins, a deep hum

  • Whispers of Frost and Fire   Chapter 68: Anxiety

    Aurelia’s POVAs we ran through the forest, feeling the wind rush past us and the soft earth and fine grass under our paws, I felt free, truly, deeply free.Then I heard a shuffle in the bushes. My ears perked up; my body tensed. A rogue? A demon? I scanned the trees.Something large moved to my right, a blur in the corner of my vision. I spun around, but it vanished. Then, behind me. My heart pounded.And then…“Scared?” A voice asked in my mind, but it wasn’t Alba’s.“No. We’re waiting for you to stop your prank and show yourself,” Alba said sharply.“Here I am.”From the shadows, a massive black wolf emerged, Alpha Rhett’s wolf.“Alpha, it is nice to meet you. I am Alba,” my wolf greeted.“I am Rhys,” he replied. So that was his name, Rhys. His wolf.“Is this your first run?”“Yes. The attack left no time to explore. But here we are, finally enjoying this beautiful place.”“Let me not hold you back then.”We dipped our heads in acknowledgment and took off again. I noticed Rhys fall

  • Whispers of Frost and Fire   Chapter 67: Sister

    Aurelia’s POVLight. Bright, blinding light.I blinked once. Twice. A million times.It took me a while to adjust to my surroundings. The hum of machines. Distant voices. A window overlooking a beautiful stretch of forest. I was in the pack’s hospital.“We don’t need a hospital. We can heal ourselves. We were just sleeping it off.”Wait—who was that? “Are you serious? Alba, hello?!”My wolf. My wolf!“Yes, you do. And you’re lucky, human, to be soul-bound with me.”“Alba! How are we even talking? Do I just... think at you?”“Yes. Like we’re doing now.”I felt sore. “How long have we been in this bed?”“A couple of days, I think.”This wasn’t the first time I’d overslept something major.“Your body’s adjusting. A new wolf, me, and a strong one at that. Beautiful, too. Plus, your goddess-given power.”“Hold up. How do you know you’re powerful and beautiful? And... power?”“I can feel it. And yes, your magic. But first, let’s go for a run.”“Let me get up first, then we’ll see about

  • Whispers of Frost and Fire   Chapter 66: Beta

    Ares’ POV“Come on, Snow. You gotta get up,” I muttered to my sister, nudging her lightly. Two days. She’d slept for two whole days. Again. And I was over it.A groan came from the bed. I let out a breath. Well, that was better than the coma-like state she’d been in before.“Stop being a sleepyhead. I need you to wake up. We all need you,” I said, softer this time.The door creaked open behind me. “Has she moved or said anything?” Alpha Rhett asked.I didn’t even bother to hide my eye-roll. I didn’t care what anyone said—it was obvious he cared for her way more than any normal pack member. What Alpha spend two days straight sitting in someone’s hospital room?“She groaned,” I replied.“You should take a break. I’m here—I’ll watch over her.”Didn’t sound like I had a choice.“Sure. I’ll go get something to eat. Thanks,” I said, getting up.I stepped out of the room but didn’t walk away. I lingered by the small hallway window, peeking through the gaps in the blinds. I watched as Alpha

  • Whispers of Frost and Fire   Chapter 65: Jerry

    Jerry’s POVI woke up at 4 a.m. The sky outside was still dark and quiet. My body moved through its routine without thought—wake up, hit the gym, spar with one of the warriors. Then breakfast. Then the office. I had to process payroll before the banks opened. Running a pack isn’t for the faint of heart.My lovely mate was still sleeping. She enjoys her mornings slow, and I’m okay with that. Jeremy, on the other hand, was also asleep, and that I wasn’t okay with. He should be up with me, getting his discipline set. Instead, he was still floating in the honeymoon phase with his new mate.A gamma is not a bad match for an alpha. But he gave up a beta-blooded female with high priestess potential. Fated mate or not, he made a political mistake. That kind of bond could have brought strength to the pack—especially with these demon attacks getting worse.My own fated mate died in a rogue attack before we had a chance to mate. I chose another, Jeremy’s mother. Chosen mates are just as good, s

  • Whispers of Frost and Fire   Chapter 64: Wolf

    "Hi," I said timidly.She stood before me, tall, radiant, cloaked in fur as white as snow with eyes like garnets, glowing from within. My wolf. She was... like me."I have been waiting for this moment," she said. Her voice was regal, calm, and ancient. "I am Alba, descendant of the goddess Kheimon, first of my kind. High Priestess of Winter.""Is that who we are?" I asked, my voice trembling with awe. "High Priestess of Winter?""Yes, young one. That is who we are. Do you not feel our power?""I do," I whispered. "I felt it... when we attacked the demon."Only then did I look around us. We stood in what looked like the middle of a frozen ocean. Ice stretched in every direction, flawless and glistening, with no land in sight. Above us, the sky was glowing with soft, golden light, ethereal, energizing. Peaceful. Magical."Yes, we wounded that demon," she said."I thought we killed it. It turned to smoke after our attack.""To kill a demon requires more than drawing its blood," she said
