Semua Bab The Alpha's Ice Mate: Bab 61 - Bab 70

WEB OF LIES That bitch came back alive. I really thought she would just die quietly somewhere far away. Why does Maya always survive everything? And now Damon… he hasn’t talked to me once since that night. He looks at me like I’m a stranger. I’m terrified he’ll say something to someone—especially about us. The baby has been growing too fast. Any day now he’ll be born. If Damon finds out he’s the father, everything I’ve worked for will fall apart. That’s not my only problem. Zack is still snooping around like a desperate dog. He just doesn’t know when to give up. I need him out of my way, permanently. Mum sent that witch to the neighboring pack. He should have slowed them down, maybe even gotten rid of Maya. But of course… she comes back stronger. I was pacing in my room, clutching the edge of the bed when the door opened. The witch from earlier stepped inside, the same bracelet-maker. “Did you do what my mother asked?” I demanded, arms crossed tightly. He bowed his head slightly

Confusing Hearts I needed answers. And the only ones who could give them to me were Liam’s parents. As much as I hated the guy, his father had once been close to my own dad — long before the lies… before the secrets. If my half-brother was here, Liam’s father would know something. He had to. After a quick shower, I didn’t bother putting on a shirt — the room was warm and my mind was racing too much to care. My hair was still wet, dripping down my neck as I headed downstairs. That’s when I saw her. Roseline. She was sitting alone in the common room, reading a worn-out book, legs folded beneath her. A soft hum escaped her lips until my footsteps drew her attention. When she looked up and saw me… her eyes widened. Her cheeks flushed instantly. I blinked. “Hey… you okay?” “I— uh— yes.” She shut her book quickly, looking anywhere but at me. “You just… surprised me.” Only then did I realize why. I was shirtless. A smirk tugged at my lips. “Didn’t mean to interrupt you

THE ILLUSION I woke up exhausted. My body still ached from yesterday’s fight, but there was no time to rest. Maya and I promised we’d teach the survivors some basic training today — they needed to learn how to protect themselves after everything they had lost. When I reached downstairs, William was already there talking with Maya. I noticed a small sparkle in his eyes whenever he looked at her. Was that… a crush? I didn’t want to assume, but it was cute. Before I could greet them, my breath got caught in my throat. Damon walked in. His hair was still a little messy like he had just rolled out of bed, and Goddess, he looked good even without trying. Every day he appeared more irresistible. And every day I had to remind myself he wasn’t mine… not really. My wolf whined softly. But I pushed the feeling down. He will never look at me the way he looks at Maya. And I refuse to force the mate bond on anyone again. I swallowed and forced a smile. “Good morning,” I said

STRINGS IN MY HANDS The tension inside this packhouse could be sliced open with a knife. Wolves pacing. Warriors training. Elders whispering about curses and visions. But me? I was enjoying every second of it. With mother back, everything was moving exactly the way I wanted. I watched the panic spread like wildfire—and smiled. Let them all panic,the more they scrambled. The greater the chaos,the easier it’d be to bring Maya to her knees. My hand rested on my stomach. The baby kicked again — relentless, like he wanted to claw his way out. I frowned. “‘Calm down, you little parasite,’ I snapped, irritation dripping from my voice.” There was no warmth in my voice. Only fear and annoyance. What if Damon realized the truth once the child was born? What if the resemblance was too strong? I paced in my room angrily. “No. I won’t let anyone take my chance to become Luna.” Everyone was busy protecting the pack, strengthening the borders. They thought the enemy wa

THE DINNER The Alpha and Luna — Liam’s parents — finally settled on a date for the dinner. I told myself it was no big deal, just a friendly meal… but the way my stomach twisted said otherwise. When I arrived at their house, the warmth hit me first. The smell of real food. Home-cooked. The kind I hadn’t had in… years. Liam was already there with Lily and her mate. We all settled around the dining table, and Luna Claire began serving the food with the kindest smile. “Eat as much as you want,” she said, setting a plate in front of me. “You boys train so hard.” “It looks delicious,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. “Thank you, Luna.” Alpha Raymond nodded from the head of the table. “So, Damon, Liam tells us you want to be a warrior?” “Yeah…” I swallowed a bite of mashed potatoes that tasted like nostalgia. “I just want to protect the pack better. It’s… something I’ve always wanted.” Liam grinned. “He’s strong. The strongest in training. Sometimes he beats me,” h
