Rosie

A week passed in a blur after dinner with Jude’s family and honestly, I was still processing everything that had happened. Elena had gotten my number and we’d been talking back and forth almost every day, texting about random things and the woman was really lively, interesting, and funny. I could see where Maya got her personality from.

And today was one of those days where Jude had messaged me earlier saying he would come pick me up and told me to take time off from the café which surp

  • Winter's Mate: Fated on Ice    The Mistress

    Chapter 6 - The MistressRosie POVI was back at the altar. I thought I had been saved from Mr. Lawson, but he turned toward me, blood dripping from the dark hole in his chest. His grin was wide and manic as he rasped, "You are becoming my wife."I shook my head, frantically trying to run away, but the ground felt like endless darkness. I kept stumbling in the white-stained dress, running in circles as he called out, "You are mine."I screamed, "Get away, you are dead!" but he laughed, catching up to me.Then a deafening crack of a gunshot echoed, and I whipped my head toward the light at the end of the tunnel, searching for the figure with the gun who had just saved me, but the dream shattered before I could see his face.***I jolted awake, sweat soaking into my skin as my chest thumped against my ribs. I saw my husband sitting beside me, and the memory of the dream made my breath hitch. In my mind, he was the one who had killed Mr. Lawson, and the power he held over my pathetic lif

  • Winter's Mate: Fated on Ice    Interlude II

    Interlude IIJude povI was in the middle of changing my suit when the head maid, Savannah, appeared in the doorway, dipping her head in a familiar gesture of respect. "Crown," she murmured, but I simply continued to strip off the discarded piece of cloth as I moved. I didn't need to speak; she knew why she was here and what she wanted to say."The mistress has fainted," she said, her eyes glued to the floor just below my shoulder, her hands pressed against her chest in reverence."How did that happen?" I tilted my head toward her while reaching for a black shirt in the closet."I do not know, but she came out of the shower and saw the steak on the tray, then she vomited and fainted," she said, and I clicked my upper teeth in irritation.Without waiting for further instruction, she left as quietly as she had entered. Savannah had been the head maid since my father's time, having served his father before that. She had literally watched two generations grow up, and her loyalty ran deep.

  • Winter's Mate: Fated on Ice    To the Island.

    Chapter 5 - To the Island.Rosie povI don’t know how the wedding ceremony went, but I knew I got married to the man that crashed my wedding and killed my groom in a blurry haze. I got stuck with a man I knew not, the man who had just painted the church floor red while I was whisked away to a helicopter. After he had gestured to the priest, who had fumbled for a moment, his hands shaking as he held the bible to his chest, before he regained his composure and finished the vows as if he had experienced something like this a dozen times before. The crowd remained seated, the air thick with muffled, terrified noise, but no one dared to protest. I couldn't even recall if I had said "I do" or if my voice had failed me again. I just stared at the spot where Mr. Lawson had been standing, haunted by how quickly life had left him—how his face had opened in a silent "oh" before his lively, predatory eyes turned dull and vacant in a heartbeat. The memory made me heave, my stomach clenching as if

  • Winter's Mate: Fated on Ice    Red Wedding.

    Chapter 4 - Red Wedding. Rosie povToday was my wedding day. I was getting married against my will.I swallowed hard, keeping my head tilted back to ensure the tears wouldn’t split and stain the thick layer of makeup they’d plastered onto my face or the emotions choking me, but I couldn't let them out—not with the team of women parading around me, watching my every move and correcting me to be an ‘obedient wife to her husband’. They had been here for a week, fitting me into dresses and bathing me in products I’d never thought I would ever use in my life.I didn't think I could go along with this arrangement. My mother was a force to be reckoned with. I had tried to run away twice, but Mr. Lawson’s men had dragged me back home before I could even run far, and I let out a humorless laugh, remembering how easy it was to catch me. And my mother, worried about losing her ticket to a higher class, had slapped me hard before locking me in my room for a full day.After the final touch of make

  • Winter's Mate: Fated on Ice    Damaged Good

    Chapter 3 - Damaged GoodRosie povTwo months later.I paced the cramped floor of my room, my heart hammering against my ribs while I waited for the pregnancy test to prove me wrong. I had missed two months of my period, and the constant fatigue had been affecting my daily life until a coworker joked that I was pregnant, and that was when everything clicked.I had never been with a man except for that one night at the Lawson party, but I couldn't remember anything past the haze. I didn't even know his face: I had just run away, terrified, and scrubbed my skin raw the second I got home, desperate to wash away the feeling of him. I had convinced myself that if I never spoke of it, the night would eventually cease to exist. But when the reminder I’d set on my phone finally rang, my body jolted as I stared at the plastic stick on my bed. Two lines. A sickening dread settled in my gut.No, that couldn’t be. I couldn’t be pregnant by a man whose name and face I didn’t know. A drunk mistake

  • Winter's Mate: Fated on Ice    Interlude I

    Interlude IJude's POV“Bang!”The sound of a gun cracked through the late-night air, and the man in front of me groaned in agony, his body hitting the ground with a thud. He began to beg, babbling apologies that meant nothing to me. I stalked towards him, head tilted, my eyes tracing the blood trailing from his wound. He tried to scramble away, his hands clawing at the concrete, but I brought my heel down hard on his leg. A sickening pop echoed as bone shattered beneath my boot, and the man’s scream ripped through the silence.I lowered my head, yanking his hair back so I could stare into his fear-stricken face. It was the look they all wore when they finally realised who they were dealing with—The Frost. Unforgiving. Ruthless.“Betrayal is unforgivable. That is the first rule,” I enunciated, my voice cold and detached, my face blank. I could never tolerate betrayal, no matter how they begged for mercy. He had betrayed the Umbra organisation, intercepting a shipment worth millions bec
