Chapter 11

SashaI was alone in the kitchen, Kael had left me after he got a call from the IceLord's coach.I was craving something spicy. Maybe it was the weather, cold, misty, with the kind of bite that made your bones feel hollow, or maybe it was just… the thought of Kael.It always send shivers down my spine... "Ahhhhh that wolf has definitely done something to me " I shouted and laughed at my behavior. I opened a drawer and reached for a chili pepper, slicing it in half with the knife, the heat of its scent rising like a challenge in the air.“Careful,” came a deep voice behind me. “You're playing with fire.”I froze.Not from fear.From recognition. Kael.I turned slowly, already smiling. "Good. Fire's the only thing that wakes me up."Kael leaned against the doorway, arms crossed, eyes dragging across me with that unreadable hunger again. He was shirtless, muscles rippling beneath tattoos. His scent hit me, dark pine and strawberry flavor..... Maybe I could taste his lips already...My

Sasha*** Begining of the tournament ***The tournament had officially begun.I stood beside Kael just outside the arena gates, the early morning wind carrying the chill of winter on our skin. Around us, humans gathered in eager clusters, their voices buzzing with anticipation and coffee-fueled excitement. Vendors were already shouting prices, children holding up homemade signs for their favorite players, even though the names hadn’t become legends yet.Kael leaned down, brushing a kiss to my temple. “This is it,” he whispered. “Opening day.”I nodded, smiling up at him.

Sasha *** Still outside ***Kael scanned the yard, his eyes glinting wolf-like even in his human form. “Strange.”“Something definitely hit,” I whispered, hugging my arms around myself, acting like I wasn't scared at all. “Like… I don’t know… wood against metal.”“ I just believe someone was definitely following us" I added.We searched, checking around the shed, the fence, even behind the old stone birdbath. Nothing. Just silence and the rustle of trees.Finally, Kael turned to me, stepping close enough that his warmth pressed against the chill in my bones. “You’re shivering.”I rolled my eyes. “From the cold, not from fear.”He smirked knowingly. “You don’t have to pretend, Sasha. I’ll protect you. Always.”My stomach gave the tiniest flip, and I hated that he noticed. His smirk deepened as though he could hear the frantic beat of my heart.We headed back to the mansion, both of us clearly unsettled yet unwilling to admit it.***********************The mansion buzzed with energy w
