Bella Winters Novels & Stories

He intended to market the place as a wedding destination in addition to luxury travel accommodations. Bella entered the parlor and the ladies already in attendance cheered. She smiled, feeling a little self-conscious. Tanya was there, of course, and Maw, who'd coordinated the whole wedding, but she didn't know the other women. "Oh, hello Bella!" she heard from behind her. She turned to see a slight blonde woman who was clearly about seven or eight months pregnant. "I don't know if you remember me," she said, "Ailsa Duncan?" Bella gasped. "Oh, Ailsa! Of course, I remember you. Look at you! You look so beautiful!" She hugged the woman enthusiastically.

Elviira. Wisteria Vine, Northern Finland December 23rd, 1981. It’s extremely dark outside. The winter air is brutally cold, the kind that bites straight through lace and silk. My thin dress offers no protection, only shame. The frozen trail crunches beneath my feet as I run, thudding, trembling, seeking solace in the jaws of death. Jaws of death that I know I should run away from. But I don't want to run away from it. I'm running towards it.

Morwen taught the history, Seren told the stories, Iriel and Kaelen taught the anchor ability. A new student arrived in the depths of winter. She was young, perhaps twelve, with pale hair and grey eyes that seemed to hold the winter sky. Her name was Winter, and she had traveled from the far north, where the gold flowers grew in the ice. "The watcher called me," Winter said, standing at the garden gate. "It said there was work for me here." Morwen studied her. There was something familiar about Winter—not in her face, but in the quality of her attention. The same intensity Morwen had seen in Clara, in Seren, in all the witnesses who had come to the garden afraid and stayed anyway.

In the west wing of the mansion on the second floor where Ophelia was sleeping beside the Vampire Lord. The next day morning Ophelia woke up after a good night's sleep after 48hours. She didn't sleep well the previous day as well. She felt safe, warm, and cozy. It's winter and the mornings are particularly cold. She didn't open her eyes but wore a smile on her face. Slowly reality checked in and she frowned with confusion. When did her bed became so soft and why is warm in here?

Instead, she stepped forward and blew a sharp breath straight at Jessica's face. "Hey!" Jessica shrieked, stumbling back in shock. "I'm here to shop, not to listen to a group of people fawning over me. I don't need to come to a place like this to find a sense of importance or confidence. Also…" Winter paused and looked downward, her smile faint but unreadable as she glanced at Jessica's waist. "Looks like you've been indulging yourself lately. You've got a good appetite, huh? Your waist's thicker than it used to be."

I asked directly. Marissa froze, then held the flowers out to me. "I heard Nora ranked first in her department this semester. "I... I brought her flowers." She'd never been this humble in front of Nora and me. When I didn't speak, she took a box from her pocket. "This is a belated birthday gift for Nora." I didn't take the box. I only looked at the scarf around her neck. It was the gift Nora had meant to give her before we left. After seeing Kyle, Nora had thrown it away.

"I never denied that. But stop showing off your body, it's disgusting,″ she said holding her nose. ″I'm twenty-five, kid,″ finally he answered after laughing at Anna's face. So she guessed his age right. They had gotten to the front door. ″Okay. Thanks Dex. I'll see you tomorrow,″ she said as she opened the door. ″Sure kiddo,″ he replied. The first thing Anna did when she got in was to look for Katherine. She didn't know why but she just found herself looking for the cook. She wasn't in the kitchen so Anna thought of changing from her uniform then going to her apartment. She got to her room, had a shower and wore a white polka dotted shirt on blue jeans. Then she put her uniform in the wash

" Well your brothers of course and that dude, Nicklaus is so handsome too. You remember him, don't you? " " No I don't. I only remember going out of the castle barriers yesterday but I don't remember meeting anyone. " Bellamy said and she nodded. " Oh. Her memory was wiped. " Arleta muttered. " What did you say? " " Oh nothing. " " Lady Arleta. " Mariam said and bowed her head. " What is it Mariam? " Arleta asked. " The Lord of the Winterland is requesting your presence. " " Oh, Lord of Winterland, Winter, Wintergreen. Tell the Lord that the Lady Arleta is busy. " Arleta scoffed.

“I didn’t even know you two were dumb enough to show up at my wedding. If anything, I'm truly hoping you wouldn’t come. Seeing you two only ruined my beautiful night." Winter didn’t look provoked at all. That calm, regal indifference, paired with her crown, her flowing veil, and the white gown that made her look ethereal, was enough to shred the last of Crystal’s restraint. Winter didn’t only look like a Queen. She looked like a goddess. And Crystal hated her for it. Winter glided past them without sparing another look, her posture so serene it made Crystal want to claw her eyes out. Kallias didn’t even move until Winter vanished around the corner. His eyes were glued to her.
