Chapter 1: The Frozen Flame.

The cold wasn’t just cold anymore. It was quiet. It was unforgiving. It was nothing. Estelle Winterbourne lay chained to the freezing snow at the heart of the Deadfall, and the snow had already buried her to the ribs. Silver burned under her skin where the traitor’s mark had been carved by her own father and lover. She felt empty. She felt numb. “ Finally got to get rid of you, Estelle. You have done well, you are no longer needed.” She still remembered the words that her mate, Darius said before plunging a dagger into back when she was unaware. What hurt her the most wasn't the knife that stabbed into her back for she was already used to that kind of pain. Rather it was the person behind the it. ' No longer needed.' Those words made her shiver harder than the cold. “ Darius..." She muttered. Estelle had lost count of how many times she said that name. Her breath came out in shallow, useless puffs. Her golden eyes stared listlessly at the night sky. The crescent moo

Chapter 2: Thawed

Heat caressed her body. Not the gentle kind. The kind that hurt. Fire licked at her frozen nerves, stirring them awake, Her blood remembering how to move and pulse, her lungs scraping themselves raw. Estelle gasped as her eyes shot open. An unfamiliar ceiling entered her line of sight. “ You are finally awake, I was just starting to lose my patience.“ Estelle heard a familiar voice. ‘ So it wasn't a dream.’ Estelle thought. Turning her head towards the source of sound, she saw a pair of luminous blue eyes staring at her from a dark corner. “ A...Adrian...“ Her voice cracked. Followed by a snarl, she felt her wolf coming out. Probably out of rage. “Don’t shift.” Adrian warned her. “Your body won’t survive it yet.” Estelle groaned in pain, while Adrian's eyes glinted with dark amusement. He seemed... to enjoy her suffering? Then the memories came flooding back: the snow, the hurrid cold, the chains and his arms carrying her out of death. Her golden eyes squinted as sh

Chapter 3: Choose wisely

‎It had been a while since Adrian, her unexpected saviour had left. During that time many thoughts occupied her mind. Her father, her siblings, her... lover... ‎She kept wondering how her dad, Randur Winterbourne could just frame her as a traitor throw her into the deadfalls after all she did for them. It made no sense to her. ‎' Just what is Darius and father planning?' ‎Why did they frame her...Why... after all she had done for them... WHY!?!? ‎Her nails dug into her palms as her thoughts ran over the place. ' It seems that they were planning on using me as distraction for something ... they were planning on discarding me for a very long time.' ‎Her heart throbbed at the thought. ‎" Darius..." She muttered her voice cracked with emotion and her heart throbbed with greater intensity. ‎Now that thought about it. She could tell that reason father and Darius didn't kill her immediately after poisoning her was to avoid causing a ruckus. And because her strength hadn't wane

Chapter 4: Fierce.

‎Adrian didn’t stop walking until he was a safe distance from the cottage. ‎Only then did he lift his hand. The one Estelle had grabbed. It was still trembling slightly. ‎Her grip had been starved and weak, but his forearm still burned where her fingers dug in. Not from pain. But from strange heat. He frowned. ‎“ Did she do something to me?“ ‎Adrian didn't generate heat, in fact one could say Adrian's couldn't generate heat unless he tried to do so. So it was strange occurrence. Something in his pants also stirred. Adrian's jaw ticked. ‎Running his fingers through his hair, he mumbled quietly under his breath. He was supposed to be the one doing things to her, not vice versa. ‎If he didn't distance himself from Estelle, he wasn't sure he would have kept his wolf in control. 'She's still injured.' Adrian caoxed himself. ‎But thinking of what happened a while back made Adrian's lips curve slightly. ‎That woman, half-dead, weak, and injured had threatened him over a

Chapter 5: Who touched who now?

The horrid taste hit her tongue like tsunami. Estelle didn't know how shit tasted like, but she was sure this tasted worse than shit. ‎ She gagged, but fought through it and swallowed it all, since it was already in her mouth, she might as well take it all. From the corner of her eyes. She saw Adrian clutching his groin. His expression was pained and full of amused disbelief. Estelle broke the ice around her wrists and held the vial. After staring at it like it offended her, she threw it like it was the most vile thing in existence. It shattered against the wall before it's numerous fragments bounced on the wooden floor. She grimaced at the smell her mouth released. She needed to get rid of the vile stench as soon as possible. The accursed potion was working. She could feel it. Her muscle fibers were slowly mending themselves, Even her wounds from the deadfall healing. Although It hurt, it wasn't something Estelle couldn't handle. But she still felt a sense of dissatisfaction.

Chapter 6: Dangerous sleeper.

[A Few Hours Ago.] Adrian stared at Estelle's sleeping figure in silence. His thoughts were a mystery. His blue eyes were cold. They held no emotions and looked lifeless. If not for his chest slowly rising and falling, one wouldn't be able to tell if he was alive or not. His cold and emotionless stare lingered on her back for an unknown amount of time she until shivered slightly and stirred in her sleep. This prompted him to avert his gaze and swiftly close his eyes, feigning sleep. Only God knew what would happen if Estelle caught him staring at her in the middle of the night. Then something unthinkable happened. Although his eyes were closed, his enhanced senses could pick up something approaching him. It was obviously Estelle. ' What is she up to?' He thought warily. Opening his eyes slightly and peeking through his thick lashes, he saw Estelle laying on the bed with her eyes still closed. But there was a problem. If before, she was lot farther from him, now she was wit

Chapter 7: Call Me Daddy.

“ Who touched who now?“ Those words hit Estelle like a lightning bolt. She jerked back out of shame, more shame and a lethal dose of embarrassment. Her face scrunched up as if she had swallowed a fly. She felt utterly mortified. There's no way she's going to ever forgive herself for this. She sat upright and buried her face in her palms. “ Who touched who now, Estelle?“ Adrian reiterated. His voice sounded smug as he tilted his head. Meanwhile he sighed internally in relief and also faint disappointment. ' She didn't notice it.' “...“ Despite Adrian's taunts Estelle didn't move or speak. She was currently suffering from an embarrassment so intense she felt she could die. ' No no no no no...' She just couldn't believe it. ' I knew i was such a terrible sleeper... But How? when? when did i roll towards him on such a big bed!?' She repeatedly shook her head. She was disappointed in herself. To think she would lay her hands on that vile man. Even if she did it in her slee

Chapter 8: Uncertainty.

[South of Shkrade, Silvervale territory.] In a dark hall, 19 figures sat around a wooden table adorned with gold. A lavishly decorated chalice that contained blue fire barely illuminated it. The flickering flames made the shadows dance. At the head of the table sat a man. He had dark brown hair and hypnotic green eyes. A small smile graced his lips. This man was Darius Hale, formerly Estelle's lover. He was a handsome man with sharp jawline and stylish hair. He gave one an impression that he was a saint who wouldn't hurt a fly. “ What is the meaning of this, Darius. Why the f*ck are you on that sit? Although you were declared heir a day ago, that doesn't give you the right to sit there!“ A werewolf whose body was covered with scars spoke. His name was Tamon. Although some of the others present didn't voice it out, they agreed with him. That sit was reserved for the ruling Alpha, not the heir. Darius didn't look offended, in fact his smile widened even further as he play

Chapter 9: Cold

It had been four days since Estelle was brought to Frostveil from the deadfalls. And her injuries were now fully healed thanks to her werewolf regeneration. It was a little slower than usual all thanks to the wolfsbane, but better than being a frozen corpse in the snow. Buried and forgotten. During that four day period, a lot of things had happened. A lot of awkward things. And because of a certain incident, Estelle now wore a beast skin with thick furs. Meanwhile Adrian had become a lot more quieter than usual. Not like she was complaining. If anything, she preferred his silence. Him talking to her was only going to cause her annoyance one way or the other. She got off the bed and stretched. Her healthy bones let out a satisfying pop that was pleasing to the ears. Because of her figure, she looked more like a feline stretching than a werewolf. Today was the day Adrian was finally taking her out of this place. To her this was highly anticipated moment. One, she wanted to explore

Chapter 10: The cost

“ You will find out soon enough.“ Darnon said with a mysterious smile. Estelle furrowed her brows. she didn't like being kept in the dark. She remembered Darnon's words about not speaking much until they met Adrian and thus kept quiet. Darnon himself walked beside her, hands loose at his sides, his gait lazy and unbothered as if he had killed anything that could cause him problems. She stared at him lost in thought. Darnon's features like his eyes, hair and skin were similar to Estelle's, if one stared at them from afar they would think the two were siblings. “ Stop staring at me and focus, Estelle. You might trip.“ Darnon said without looking at her. Despite him being in front of Estelle, he had somehow seen her staring at him. She tore her gaze away, her tongue clicked. “You talk too much for someone who told me not to speak.” “I talk when it’s necessary, my lady” Darnon replied. “And right now, it’s necessary you don’t stare at me too much. Adrian might be watching as w
