Semua Bab The Alpha's Ice Mate: Bab 11 - Bab 20

I blinked awake to the soft hum of machines. The sharp ache I’d felt before was mostly gone.That can’t be right, I thought, pushing the blanket down. My arm,where the claw had raked me, looked like a two-day-old scratch, not a fresh wound.A nurse stepped in with a warm smile. “Good morning, Maya. How are you feeling?”“Sore,” I admitted, flexing my fingers, “but… it doesn’t hurt as much as it should.”She gave a little shrug. “You’re healing faster than expected. That’s good news. Your friends are still outside waiting for you.”She placed a folded stack of clean clothes on the side table. “You’re cleared to leave whenever you’re ready.”“Thanks,” I said, still staring at the half-healed marks on my skin.When the door closed, I changed quickly, wincing only a little as I slipped the shirt over my head. I was fastening the last button when the door swung open again.“Maya!” Fiona’s voice cracked in shock.I spun around. Fiona and Stella froze in the doorway. Fiona’s hand flew to her

The night of the full moon had finally come.Our whole pack gathered for this,one night when every wolf shifted together and our bonds grew stronger.Tonight my father planned to name me as his heir, the next Alpha.I should have felt proud, but my stomach twisted.I kept replaying last night in my head.What happened with Lia… it didn’t even feel like me.My wolf, Axel, kept whispering that some strange energy had clouded us, but I still felt guilty.Dad clapped me on the shoulder.“Ready, son? Tonight we show them the future Alpha.”I forced a small smile. “Yeah… ready as I can be.”His eyes narrowed. “Something on your mind?”“Nothing I can’t handle,” I said, though it sounded weak even to me.A soft voice interrupted. “Liam.”Lia stepped closer, wearing a proud smile. “Big night for you.”I stiffened. “Lia.”She reached for my arm. “You’ll stand beside me when your father speaks, right? Everyone already sees us as the future Alpha and Luna.”I pulled my arm back a little. “That’s

Fiona’s eyes were sharp as she closed the book. “Maya, we should tell Lily and Stella about this,” she said firmly.I hesitated, then nodded. “Okay… maybe they’ll understand it better than I do.”When Lily and Stella arrived, Fiona explained everything we’d found. They exchanged a look ,quick, silent, but meaningful.“What was that?” I asked, narrowing my eyes. “You two just shared a whole conversation with your eyes. What are you not telling me?”Stella bit her lip. “It’s… complicated.”Before I could press further, a loud shrill rang through the halls. Brrring! Brrring!“The fire alarm?” I frowned, looking around at the other confused students.Lily’s expression changed immediately. “That’s not a fire alarm,” she muttered. “That’s an evacuation signal.”“What? Why? There’s no smoke”Fiona grabbed my hand. “Maya, listen. You stay in the library. Don’t move until we come back.”“Wait, why?” My heart started to hammer. “What’s going on?”Zack’s voice echoed from the doorway. “Rouges. T

We resumed school after a few days, and on the surface things went back to normal or at least, to what “normal” could mean for me now. But deep down, I was more confused than ever about my identity.Who was I, really?Maya the shy girl, the one who flinched at loud noises and hated mirrors was now carrying one of the most powerful wolves inside her. Meant for something greater. But my story had been cut short before it even began.Nyx whispered inside my head, her tone sharper than mine could ever be. “You weren’t meant to be weak. They made you weak. But we’ll rise again. You’ll see.”Liam sometimes took me to a neighboring pack, far from prying eyes. There, we met an old healer who guided me through the beginnings of my power. At first, it felt so foreign—like trying to hold water in my hands. But slowly, I started to feel it, the way it pulsed through me, the way it wanted to mend and create instead of destroy.One evening, after hours of practice, I healed a small cut on Liam’s ha

“Out of line?” Lia laughed bitterly. “I’m your Luna, Liam. You promised”“That was before I knew she existed!” he shouted, his voice breaking slightly.Gasps echoed across the room.My heart thudded painfully as everyone turned toward me. I wanted to vanish, but it was too late the truth was out.Lia stood there trembling, disbelief painted all over her face. “You… you can’t be serious,” she whispered. “She’s your mate?”Liam took a step forward, his voice softer but full of conviction. “Yes… she is.”The silence that followed was heavy, almost suffocating. Lia’s mother’s eyes darkened, her expression unreadable.“Be careful,” Nyx warned again, her tone sharp. “That woman is not just angry,she’s planning something.”And deep down, I knew Nyx was right.Gasps and whispers filled the hall like wildfire. Every pair of eyes turned toward me, some filled with shock, others with suspicion.The room was split in half: one side stood loyal to the Alpha’s bloodline and the bond of mates… the o
