Chapter 54 - Reassurance

Rosie

I curled up on the couch wrapped in one of Jude's jerseys that still smelled like him while trying to focus on anything other than the fact that he'd been gone for two hours now. Two whole hours with no word, no text, and the silence of our cottage felt deafening.

I resisted the urge to bite my thumbnail as I stared at the wall clock, watching the minutes tick.

I patted my chest, feeling something brewing beneath my ribs like my emotions had spiked up in sudden fu

  • Winter's Mate: Fated on Ice    A pup?

    Chapter 56 - Pup? JudeI saw red.Red from the blood oozing from my mate's side and red from the fury burning through every nerve in my body as I stood in one swift motion and turned to face the culprit who stood there shaking like a leaf with blood dripping from the silver knife in their trembling hand.Without another beat I lunged forward and my claws extended with a sickening sound as they pierced through the culprit's chest as my hand closed around their heart and I ripped it out in one brutal motion. The person fell limp onto the sand, their eyes still wide with shock and terror but that didn't stop the pain or the fury roaring through me as I dropped the still beating organ and immediately turned back to Rosie.I cradled her in my arms, lifting her carefully against my chest. Her blood was warm and wet, seeping through my fingers as I pressed against the wound as I started running toward the pack house.We met a stretcher on the way with pack doctors rushing toward us but I he

  • Winter's Mate: Fated on Ice    The fight

    Chapter 55 - The fightRosieThe pack had been buzzing about the trial for the entire week, and everyone had been talking about it nonstop, with pack members excited and happy to see their young alpha in action and put someone who'd hurt their young Luna in their place.But people weren't seeing it from my eyes because I was scared, terrified actually. I'd never seen Jude in a fight before, although I'd seen his enormous majestic wolf, but this was different.No one else seemed worried as I watched some pack members walk around smiling as if Jude were already the winner before the trial even started.Was that how much faith they had in him? It wasn't like I didn't believe in Jude because I did—but a trial by combat was always brutal and nasty in every historical movie I'd ever watched, and I wasn't ready to watch my mate get pounded on in some arena.God, I could feel my head thump with a headache, with nausea creeping up my throat that made me swallow the lump down. I didn't want to

    Chapter 54 - ReassuranceRosieI curled up on the couch wrapped in one of Jude's jerseys that still smelled like him while trying to focus on anything other than the fact that he'd been gone for two hours now. Two whole hours with no word, no text, and the silence of our cottage felt deafening.I resisted the urge to bite my thumbnail as I stared at the wall clock, watching the minutes tick.I patted my chest, feeling something brewing beneath my ribs like my emotions had spiked up in sudden fury, and I was very sure I wasn't angry because I had nothing to be angry about, so that meant it wasn't my emotion, and that made anxieties roll up in me.Jude wasn't here, but I could feel his emotions. Immediately, I jumped off the couch and started pacing from one edge of the living room to the other, my eyes darting back to the wall clock. He was late. He'd promised he'd be back soon, and it had been two hours, and I couldn't just sit here.I winced, feeling a sharp sting from the thumbnail

  • Winter's Mate: Fated on Ice    Trial by Combat

    Chapter 53—Trial by Combat JudeI was so angry that my moment with Rosie had been cut short just when I'd finally had my mate to myself and was already planning how the rest of the evening would go, but instead I'd been interrupted by a goddamn emergency. "Angry" would be an understatement for what I was feeling right now. I didn't miss the disappointment that flickered across Rosie's face when I'd told her we had to leave nor the sadness that tugged through our bond, yet she'd smiled sweetly at me as if she was completely okay with it. After I'd successfully driven Rosie home on Baby with her arms wrapped tightly around my waist the entire ride, I found myself reluctant to let her go as I hugged her at the cottage door, savoring her scent and kissing the crescent-shaped claiming mark on her neck. It was physically painful to detach myself from her, to pull away from her warmth, her scent, and the way she fit perfectly against me, but I'd make it up to her later after meeting Marc

  • Winter's Mate: Fated on Ice    Picnic Date

    52RosieThree months had passed in a blur since Jude’s rut ended, and I’d woken up in the hospital bed after being fucked to exhaustion.Those three months had been absolutely hectic in ways I couldn’t have imagined, with finals hitting me unexpectedly. I’d spent countless late nights hunched over my laptop with textbooks scattered around me and coffee cups stacking up on my desk while trying to cover the semester syllabus before the exam.But I hadn’t been alone through any of it because Jude—my man—had been there the entire time, taking time out of his impossibly busy schedule as a hockey player, student, and young alpha to tutor me and help me study.He would sit with me for hours, explaining concepts I didn’t understand, quizzing me on material until I had it memorized, and bringing me food when I forgot to eat because I was so focused on my work.I was finally done with all my papers now, and I had Jude to thank for that because, honestly, I didn’t think I would have made it throu

  • Winter's Mate: Fated on Ice    51 pt 2

    After we'd both been thoroughly cleaned, he lifted me out of the tub and wrapped me carefully in a large fluffy towel, then carried me back to the bedroom, where he sat me down on the edge of the bed. He grabbed the hair dryer and began carefully drying my hair section by section, running his fingers through it gently to work out any tangles.When my hair was completely dry, he picked up a comb and began sectioning it off, and I watched in surprise as he started creating a French braid down the back of my head with practiced, experienced movements, like he'd done this a hundred times before."How do you know how to French braid?" I asked curiously because it seemed like such an unexpected skill for a man."I have a sister, remember?" He said with a fond smile, and his eyes went soft with the memory. "Maya loved having me braid her hair when we were kids; she'd beg me to practice different styles on her, so that's how I learned it."He chuckled at the memory, clearly lost in nostalgia,
