The Ice Alpha’s Mate의 모든 챕터: 챕터 131 - 챕터 140

RYDERReturning to my pack after everything that's happened feels surreal. But there's no turning back now. I don't know what awaits me. Since my father's death, the pack has been without a leader, and though I was the one who won the challenge, I wasn't here to claim my place. So, anything could've happened. I'll put everything back in its place, though, and I meant what I said when I told Anne that they could all hate me and it wouldn't make a difference. I'm the Alpha now. The first place I head to, is home, and sure enough, the employees are all stunned to see me. I ignore them all and head to my father's office. I have to gather everyone in one place, and the only way I can do that is by placing calls to some of the Beta-borns and sending a message through them to have everyone gathered at Ironclaw U.It's the only place I can think of that's big enough to host such a meeting. An hour. That's the time limit I give everyone to show up. Now that I'm in the position I've been t

ARIAI'm anxious and restless. The way Ray looked at me in the dining room told me that the end is near, especially for me. The worst part about all this is that the only thing I can do is sit around and wait for it to happen. Escaping is pointless. I can't take two steps without feeling like my heart will give out. There's no way around it. Whatever happens will happen and I'll be powerless to stop it. I drift in and out of sleep. I keep having vivid dreams with Ray. He comes into the bedroom with Nadia just to torment me, and every time I open my eyes, I'm relieved to find the bedroom empty. However, it so happens that when I'm stirring from one of my nightmares, I don't have that relief. Someone's in the room, watching me in the dark. My heart skips a beat and I sit up. Despite the fact that my head is spinning, I inch toward the headboard to put some distance between us. "Shh, it's okay Aria," the voice says. It takes me a moment to realize that this voice doesn't belong to R

RYDERAll night, I couldn't sleep. I have this pain in my shoulder that won't go away no matter what. I rub my chest, instinctively knowing that this has to do with Aria. I’ve always sent word, and in no time, Ray is supposed to respond and accept the challenge so this can end. The problem is that his territory is heavily guarded, so it’s hard for anyone to go through. This has to work, because if it doesn’t, I don’t have another plan. I step out of the office and make my way downstairs. The house is quiet at this time, and that’s when it reminds me more of the past. Silence has followed me throughout my life. My father never had time for me, and I was always on my own. I don’t like thinking about any of it, but it’s impossible not to. I make my way outside. The property is heavily guarded again, just like it used to when my father was Alpha, but this time, most of the guys standing around are from the hockey team. Sure, there are other guards to keep an eye on them, but right n

RYDERI don't feel the pain of the stab wound on my shoulder. Right now, as I punch Ray's chest to a pulp, I feel close to invincible. I give him a shove and he lands on the ice hard. The knife flies right out of his hand, way out of reach. The hatred he has for me is stamped all over his face, but all it does is please me. Someone creeps up behind me, trying to choke me. I get rid of him easily, breaking his arm in the process. His screams echo, but I turn my attention away from him and focus on Ray, who's trying to crawl his way to the knife. I skate toward him and slam my knees into his back just as he closes his hand around the handle. He cries out in pain while trying to stab me. It’s a pathetic attempt.I squeeze his wrist with everything I have until I hear bone snapping, and only then does he drop the knife. I then grip his head in my hands.“You should’ve never involved her in any of this!” I spit. “You should’ve kept her out of this. You have no fucking honor!”“Fuck you,

ARIAThough Ironclaw looks just as I remembered it, it doesn't feel like the same place at all. I think it's because I'm the one who's changed. As we drive past Ironclaw U, I have the urge to ask the Nocturn to stop by my uncle's house so I can take a look around, but deep down, I know it wouldn't be the best idea, so I say nothing. Taking things slowly is the only way to get through all this pain. I realize they're heading toward the packhouse. I relax against Ryder and try to focus on anything that isn't the pain deep inside of me, the one no touch but my own will be able to heal. I don't want to be in a negative state of mind. I'm out of danger and things could've been a lot worse. But I can't get over the fact that my uncle is dead because of me. He chose to save my life once upon a time and was forced to pay the price for it. That, I can't and will never forget. The Nocturn parks in front of the gates and they open. I have so many questions for Ryder concerning what will ha
