Helm Of Winterhold Novels & Stories

Zean pulled his hand back, then tightened his embrace around Helga's bare waist, hiding the girl and her necklace deep within his warm hold. The man knew that tonight's peace was the last tranquility they could enjoy inside this fortress. Tomorrow, the real storm would break out. Word of Sebastian Norwich still relentlessly hunting for Helga's whereabouts with his elite squad would soon reach the mansion gates, and Zean had to be ready to become the bloodiest shield to protect the woman who had now become the absolute owner of his entire passion and life.

"Are they okay?" "They're stable now, but it took my winter magic to freeze the toxins before the standard salves could work," I said, my voice dropping to a serious whisper. "But Ophelia... the weapons used against them weren't from a rogue wolf pack. It was star-metal. The arrows were engraved with the royal runes of the Winter Court Vanguard." Ophelia’s jaw dropped, her eyes wide with shock. "The Winter Court? But you just had the council here yesterday! Kate, is the High King trying to start a war?"

Others had been assigned to him by his grandfather. Then Chris’s eyes narrowed behind the scope. His grip tightened so hard the tendons in his hand stood out. There was still another man hiding on the yacht. At that moment, the man had a gun pressed to Winter’s head. His other hand was locked around her arm as he dragged her out of the cabin. He shoved her in front of him and faced the helicopter. He knew exactly what she was now. A shield. As long as he held her hostage, no one in the helicopter would dare shoot.

Then, out of nowhere, Grimhold emerged behind the floating lights in his human form. When he dropped to the ground, the particles brushed past him and swirled straight into me. Warmth spread through my limbs, and every ache I felt completely disappeared. “The gazel has blessed you and your pack, Dominic. ”Grimhold stepped forward, groaning, but with a satisfied look on his face. “So I guess that only means one thing.” Grimhold shockingly dropped to one knee in front of me and bowed his head low. “I, Alpha Grimhold of Frostvale, and king of the North, would be honored to call you an ally.”

The man had half-white, half-black hair, and his deep gaze dragged Guillermo back to memories he wished he could forget. Guillermo remained wary as he said, "There's nothing between us anymore, so what are you here for?" The man was none other than Christopher Fillmore, or as the world called him, Wyrmhelm. He had rushed from the far western lands. In the martial world and the political halls of Holtrien, he was hailed as one of the last true legends.

I went back into my body, luckily Randolph had sturdied me, it must be easy for fae to leave their bodies because mine never stood the way hers just did. “I Helga Winter, daughter of Alpha Astrid Winter, accept you, Renard Firedragon, as my mate.” She smiled wide at him. He pulled her into his embrace kissing her sweetly. I threw my hand over my mouth. To my knowledge, this was her first kiss, and it just happened in front of half of the pack. She didn’t seem to mind when he lifted her up spinning her around. I approached them my arm out to Renard. His suit jacked didn’t rip when his wings came out. I was slightly confused. He began to speak immediately.

By the time we reached the outer courtyard, several Emberbound members had already gathered there. Nora stood near the entrance archway, arms crossed loosely, while Elias adjusted the ward runes embedded in the stone wall. Evelina lingered slightly behind them, her crimson gaze fixed on the mountain road that wound toward the university. Then the first rider appeared. Caelum Hawthorne dismounted before his horse had even fully stopped. The former Hawthorne heir looked the same as the last time I’d seen him, tall, steady, the quiet authority of a pack leader that hadn’t faded just because his father had disowned him. His eyes swept across the courtyard until they landed on Nora.

“We are Gythaeans. We came at the King's orders; you cannot capture us. Do you understand that the King will be-” “Shut up,” Alarick said, and the chubby man’s eyes widened a little when Alarick stood up, towering over them. He walked closer until he was looking straight down at them both, and the blond one swallowed nervously. “What's your name?” he asked the bald one. His voice had gone cold and dark from anger at the man’s insolence. “Chevelle Layland, second right hand man of the Head of the Gythaean Royal Council and a Mage,” he said, squaring his shoulders and looking up at him. “And you-”

It was what she'd been seeing the whole time. “Yes, you are.” she finally said, as Winter caught hold of her approaching hands. Although she wasn't as masculine as she was said to be, she found herself feeling so towards the lady as in the gentle manner with which she held her wrists because they seemed so fragile in her grasp, and the look in her eyes, it showed that she couldn't be harmful. “I'm sorry.” came the words. “You've got the wrong one. The name's Winter. Who are you and have you been trapped in here this whole time?”

The Frost-Wyrm’s massive, ice-plated head hovered directly over the center of the pass, its jaw unhinging to reveal rows of jagged, glass-like teeth that dripped with a freezing, blue liquid-aether that hissed as it hit the snow. ​"Bring the harpoons!" Kaelen commanded, his deep voice carrying a sharp, desperate panic as he drew a heavy, silver-plated broadsword from his hip. "Aim for the collar scales! If it takes the lead strider, we all go over!" ​Three of the remaining Pale Guards on our sled scrambled toward the heavy brass bow-mount at the front of the deck, their white armor clinking in the cold. They didn't make it.
