All Chapters of The Ice Queen of Wolves: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

JaneI hate that the pack is being targeted because of me. If I had just stayed put in Montana, none of this would be happening. Rebecca hasn't left her house since the attack, and her cries echo throughout the forest tonight. Even though she is miles away from where we stand on the border, we can hear her as though she were standing right next to us. I can feel the shift in the air every time Alpha Lucas hears her. His shoulders tense under his thick coat, and his expression becomes rigid with concern. I try to keep my eyes from wandering to him, knowing I should be focused on the trees in front of me, not my fated mate. We haven't been at the border long. About two hours or so, and it is quiet once the cries of Rebecca become quiet. I can hear the sound of insects crawling inside the bark of the trees around us, and the wings of birds that flap occasionally as they shake the falling snow from them. Taking in a deep breath, I let the cold fill my lungs in a refreshing inhale. I neve

Lucas"Stay in your positions. He knows we're here," I tell the warriors through a mindlink, making my way down the deserted, snow-covered road. The gravel is frozen under the snow, and the low sun that casts cold shadows across my skin is a daunting reminder that Jane is in danger. The center of the pack grounds appears empty at first, but as I walk closer, I start to see them. The wolves are watching me from the dark shadows. They're hiding in wait, behind trees and buildings. There are no women or children hiding in their homes. They knew we were coming. My eyes land on Chris, who is standing in the center of what resembles our training pit. There are barriers on every side, and I can only see the upper half of him as he stands there with a knowing grin on his face. "Call the skirmish dogs off. Then we can talk," he shouts from a hundred yards out. Good, he thinks I'd skirmish, like my father would have. Good to know I didn't completely fuck this up. "They're called off. For no

LucasThe sounds of battle around us are drowned out in my mind. All I can see is the dead woman in front of me. Her heart stopped nearly two minutes ago, but I can't let her go. The warriors pushed in when they heard the gunshot, and Chris took the only available way out of the pack. I wasn't there to stop him from running. I can feel the tears soaking into my face, and I try to hold my breath, keeping in the sobs from turning to shouts. One of the wolves in a fight is thrown over where I stay, holding her, and I let out a snarl, involuntarily shifting into my wolf. My legs trap Jane under me, unwilling to part with her. My eyes land on the two fighting next to me, and I let out a heavy growl. One of them is my warrior, and the other is an alpha, but both of them lower their gaze at my growl. They cease in their battle, and when I glance around, so have the others. Without their leader, they have no reason to fight. Their eyes are all on me as I let my growl die off completely, fi

LucasHer hand is cold in mine, and I can't stop the pain that runs through me. I should bury her, move on, but I just can't let go. Arch has knocked on the door a few times since we got back, trying to get me to come out and talk to the warriors, but I can't bring myself to do it. I miss her. So many things I wish I had done before this. I should have claimed her as mine instead of worrying about things out of our control. It's not her fault she couldn't have kids. I should have been the person she could talk to about it instead of the person pushing her away from it. I can't stand myself right now, and all I want to do is keep her hand in mine until I wake from this nightmare. Just as I am about to drift to sleep, knees on the floor and her hand in mine as she lies on the bed, I feel her. The twitch in her hand. I blink into the crook of my arm, freeing the welled tears inside of them. Maybe I was just imagining it. It's been almost three days since the attack. But it happens ag

JaneGood goddess all mighty, Shayrl and Rebecca have not let me rest a wink since we told them we were getting married. I think Rebecca enjoys doing it because it takes her mind off James, and Shayrl likes teaching me all there is about being a good Luna and Queen. Every time we have a conversation, I can tell she is hurting without her mate. Even though he cheated on her and has done unspeakable things, he is still her mate. I just can never be the person she talks to about it.We wanted the wedding to be soon, but I didn't think they would insist on putting it all together in the timespan of two weeks. I haven't hardly spent any time with Luke, but both Rebecca and Shayrl say it is for the best. They claim the distance will make the wedding day special. "Purple or blue?" "Yellow or pink?" "Chocolate or velvet?" "Bridesmades?" That was a whole day's worth of explanation. So many questions that I couldn't answer, because I have never had chocolate cake, or any cake for that mat
