All Chapters of The Alpha's Ice Mate: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

THE CEREMONY Everything was going just the way I planned. I am so close now. So close to being Luna, to standing beside Liam where I always believed I belonged. But one thing still made my skin itch—my mother. My mother never knew how to let go. She didn’t care about Liam, or the pack, or even me. All she ever wanted was power. Ruling the pack was her revenge for everything she lost, and now that my son had been born, one of her witch friends must have told her. “She won’t stay away now,” I muttered. I walked back and forth in the room, holding my belly where the baby used to be. I hated that empty feeling. I hated what the child represented. But I needed him. “All I ever wanted was to be Luna,” I said to myself. “Liam’s mate. His chosen.” I would do anything for that. Anything. Still… I couldn’t deny it. Without my mother’s dark magic, I would never have made it this far. She had helped me lie, hide the truth, and twist fate. So I had to give her something in return.

CONFRONTATION Something's been off inside me and I can't shake it . Every day I wake up feeling like I’m losing Maya more and more, even when she’s standing right in front of me. We fought so hard to come back together, and now it feels like I’m watching it fall apart again with my own eyes. And it was my fault. Between the baby and everything with Lia, I hadn’t been giving her the attention she deserved. I’d been distant… distracted. I was lost in thought when Lia walked into my office, going on about the ceremony. I snapped—raised my voice, told her she was out of line. But the truth was… I already knew. And hearing it out loud made it worse. The night before, after finishing my Alpha duties, I got a message from my parents. “Come see us,” my mother said. “We need to talk.” I knew it wasn’t the kind of talk you ignored. Before leaving, I told the omegas, “If anyone asks, I’m resting in my study.” One of them glanced at me, concern in his eyes. “Alpha, are you sure” “D

FOUND AT LAST The forest was silent, but inside me, everything screamed. My chest ached, heavy with regret, my heart pounding with all the things I couldn’t take back. Everything that happened had changed me. I had betrayed my friends. I had betrayed Liam. And worst of all, I had almost lost my mate. I kept moving, following the scent from Lia’s room. It was faint, but I knew it. It was hers. “She’s alive,” I whispered. “I can feel you… don’t give up on me now.” When Lia was finally exposed, the spell she used on my mate broke. For the first time in days, I could feel her clearly. Her fear. Her pain. But also her heartbeat. That was what kept me going. My mind went back to the day Damon was arrested. I had gone to see him because I couldn’t live with the guilt anymore. He had looked at me from behind the bars. “Why are you here, Zack?” I swallowed. My hands were shaking. “Because I helped Lia.” His eyes hardened. “What do you mean?” “I told her things,” I sai

COFFEE SHOP( two in one) Last night was beautiful. I woke up feeling a little sore, but happy in a way I had never felt before. For the first time in my life, being close to someone didn’t feel scary. It felt warm. It felt safe. I turned and saw Liam still sleeping beside me. His face looked peaceful, and for a moment I just watched him, smiling to myself. “Maybe things really are changing,” I whispered. I slipped out of bed and went downstairs to get some coffee. The house was quiet, the kind of quiet that makes you feel calm instead of lonely. As I poured my drink, my phone rang. It was Stella. “Maya!” she said, almost shouting. “You have to come meet us.” I laughed. “What happened? You sound way too happy this early.” Lily’s voice came through the phone too. “We have news! Big news!” “And we want to tell you in person,” Stella added quickly. “All of us together.” My heart warmed at how excited they sounded. “Okay,” I said softly. “I’ll come.” When I hung

A NEW BEGINNING As the evening sun began to dip below the horizon, casting an orange hue over the room, I knew this moment was inevitable. I could feel the weight of it pressing down on my chest. He was leaving tonight. He had to go to the palace to see his father. And I, I had to search for my mother. The thought of being separated from him felt like a sharp, aching wound. Just the night before, we had shared something so profound, so raw, that for the first time in my life, I truly felt united with him. It was as though our souls had finally entwined, as though we were one. But now… now, we were about to be torn apart. I couldn’t help but feel that familiar sense of insecurity creeping in, gnawing at my insides. What if the mate bond wasn’t enough? What if someone else would come along and take him from me, just like Lia had tried? The thought of it made my stomach twist in knots, but I couldn’t bring myself to voice those fears aloud. Instead, I clutched my hands to my che
