Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha's Ice Queen: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

NINA.I watched my face pale from fear with trembling fingers, unable to move. Jace swung harder after each blow. Derek fought back, but he was slower compared to Jace, which gave him an advantage. He slammed Derek backward, into the floor, knelt over him, his shirt bunched up in one arm, while he beat him continuously with the other.My voice was caught in my throat. There’s blood everywhere, running down the sides of Derek’s lips, his eyes swollen, bleeding. And Jace? He looked different, like a possessed freak, beating him up, his face broken into a twisted sneer.“Jace! Stop!” My brother’s voice called right by my side. Killian started forward, yanking up Jace’s fists and shoving him off Derek, who still seemed to be kneeling. A few workers from the back had rounded up, too, watching keenly.“That bastard!” Jace cursed, his voice holding a deep baritone to them that had me frightened. I’d never seen him look so miserable, so dreadful, so rebellious. But then, hadn’t he left for ye

NINA.This shit did not just happen. I was hallucinating? Or I must have heard him wrong, right? It made sense that way. There is no way he'd just dared me into a bet like that.“Clock’s ticking. You can chicken out, I’ll understand. You still are a child anyway—little Nina, who runs and comes to her big brother for protection. Little Nina who…”“Are you nuts?” I screamed. The entire hallway glanced sideways in our direction, no doubt itching for something new to gossip about. I cursed beneath my breath, realizing I’d been the one to stomp my feet and ask for discretion, yet here I was making a fool of myself for them to see.“Fuck, Killian would murder you. And why would I want to do something as reckless as that? Make you—the school’s playboy—fall for me? What do I stand to gain from that?” I asked, my heart hammering against my ribcage now, my palms getting sweaty as I tried the best I could to put up a proper and controlled front to him.“Fine, I knew you wouldn’t. Anyways, I’d a

JACEDragging out a little puff of smoke before tossing it into the ashtray. My fingers trailed over the textbook. Line after line I read, yet nothing made sense to me—just jumbled-up words filled with nonsense.My mind drifted away from the notes. Fuck, I had two different assignments to turn in within two days, I had four different projects to work on, and I also had to practice for the game we had this weekend. A buzz settled on my phone—it was an update on my socials. Killian was out with the boys. He’d invited me, but I’d managed to pull out some out-of-this-world sort of excuse to avoid going.I couldn’t choose. Between him and Nima? Especially not when Nima and I had just gotten started on these little game sites we were going to play. And then… Killian. I couldn’t cut him off. He was my best pal, I’d need him. Worse still—Aiden. How dare he tell me what to do? I was here holed up in my room, reading and smoking blunt after blunt, while news was out there partying casually. I d

  NinaHe’s doing this again, once again. My heart raced, not from fear or anxiety, but from thrill. Poor Derek, always being on the receiving end of an assault — he deserved better. And Jace? I’d called his bluff, and here he was making the exact point he claimed he wouldn’t be making. “Let him go,” I spoke. My words slid off my lips, he tilted his head, his eyebrow zipped together in mock annoyance, obviously believing things would go just as he wanted. “Wrong, answer Nina,” he tutted as he spoke, twirling the knife in his hands. “I said, let him go,” I said more viciously this time. I was pleading, asking how he&rsqu

NINA.This wasn't good at all.“So, are you dating him now?” Kate asked, her voice thick with heavy sarcasm and a hint of tease. I flinched into the bed, my shoulders dropping instantly. She spouted that nonsense—I hadn’t gotten a chance to speak with her the entire day. She was off with Bryan, her mate, and had only gotten home late.I had taken my time to explain the entire thing to her breaking everything down to her, from the bloody bet between Jace and I to the knife incident and then the kiss I—shared with Derek—who did seem genuine by the way yet no matter how hard I tried, it didn't make my heart flutter, didn't make me anxious, didn't make my heart flutter like Jace did even without trying, I remember the overwhelming feeling I got as soon as I saw him Standing, angry as hell, pissed senseless seeing me with Derek, I'd gotten excited seeing how he took control of the entire situation.“You must say something else. I didn’t just spend my entire time on your thoughts on me dati
