Semua Bab The Alpha's Ice Queen: Bab 41 - Bab 50

NINA HAYES POV “Aiden is here and so is Jace, that's going to be all types of awkward for you, isn't it?”My head swung to the side, “No.”“You sure? Knowing both brothers want to and kind of ‘did’ you?”“It's not.”Nina shrugged, “Alright, if you say so.”I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, neck strained, eyes heavy. “How much longer is this going to take?”“And… I'm… done!” Kate lowered her head from my hair. She helped me lift my neck, “There.” With a proud smile, “Do you like it?”The vanity mirror before me looked opaque. I narrowed my sight and tilted my head many times to catch my reflection better, but nothing.“Oh!. Your glasses! You forgot your glasses.” Kate handed them over to me.I slid them back on, and the world looked sharper again.“It's nice. It's actually very nice.”“That's all?”“Yeah.”“I can see why the girls at our school pick on you. You can't even spot good makeup when it's in front of you. ‘It's nice’ is not so complimentary, how about you try ‘I look drop

NINA.I turned pale as soon as I ended the call. He sounded cold and mischievous over the phone. Whatever Aiden was up to, I knew certainly it wasn’t good, and even if I needed and desired to stay the hell out of it, I gritted my teeth together before pushing my way past him towards the door.My hands and feet were shaky as it swung open.“You look pale.” Kate’s voice called after me, and for once, I wished I didn’t have her breathing down my neck. I shoved past her, refusing to answer her worried tone.“Nina! Wait!” Kate called after me, but I only picked up my pace, running as fast as I could towards the stairs. I walked head-on towards his room, my heart thrumming hard in my chest.“Come in.” The order bounced from the other end of the door even before I could knock. I felt restless, my head slicked with sweat. My hand was shaky, my breath labored, weak, and shallow.“I… Aiden, I’m sorry about earlier. Jace did—”“Strip, Nina. I need someone to fuck, and we have a little deal, don

JACE.Anger bubbled in me as I stood behind the door. The latch unlocked, and Aiden walked out slowly, grinning widely. I slammed my fists against him, bunching his shirt into my fists.“What was that about? Your bloody text? What are you playing at?!” I asked, anger brewing in me. I’d seen a text from him, betting against me, saying he could have Nina on her knees faster than I could, calling her his slut, bluffing about such nonsense.Nina? She hated him; he was so full of shit, but somehow I couldn’t shake the feeling I needed to set it right with him. A laugh slipped off his lips. I bet he was having fun, just throwing words around to pay back for what Father had done to him earlier.“Can’t take a joke? Get off me. Isn’t it shameful, always groveling and prancing around her? You heard Father. You started the fight, but somehow the blame had tilted in my direction. I hope you know this. He won’t be handing down his position to some bastard who settles for a weakling,” he spat vicio

JACE.I slept like shit. I couldn’t stop picturing Nina’s face as she spoke to me in such a cold, condescending manner. I’d tried my best to keep a cool demeanor when we got home. Perhaps she’d gotten into a fight with Kate. Perhaps something was wrong at home. Perhaps… Well, I racked my head. But nothing made sense. We were cool until the party.“You should reach out, check on her, just to be sure, you know?” my wolf called out to me hesitantly. I refused to indulge in any rash decision. Maybe she had her reasons, and maybe she didn’t. But I’d sent her a text and gave her my word I would let her have the day. But tomorrow? I’d meet up with her, and if I had to force her to speak, break her till she opened up to me? Then so be it.A knock settled on my door, drawing me out of my thoughts. I groaned from annoyance before reluctantly swinging it open. The omega's eyes locked with mine, and she bowed immediately; whatever look she saw on my face must have frightened her. I hated losing m

  NINA. Nothing made sense, not even whatever it was we were being taught today. Coming to today’s class had been no better than a joke. My mind seemed lulled, my heart thumping faster and harder each time I glanced sideways, waiting for Jace to pop up and try giving an explanation, waiting for him to say it was all a lie. He’d been making me feel like a joke, draining the bloody life out of me. I’d asked him to leave, told him I didn’t want him anymore — and he’s just vanished? “Nina?” Kate’s voice called out to me. I glanced sideways in her direction, relieved to see she was done with the cold shoulders. Supposedly, Maya had dropped me off last night, looking guilty and even remorseful. I couldn’t trust the bitch’s attitude or reasons, but she had
