Ice Age 4 Full Novels & Stories

All because I opened a window to air out the room, my husband’s childhood sweetheart, Celine Ashcroft, caught a cold. In a fit of rage, my husband, Ronan Blackwood, had his men bind me and drag me down to the ice cellar despite my being five months pregnant. "Don’t think that just because you’re carrying my child, you can bully Celine. If even a single hair on her head is harmed, I’ll make you repay it a hundredfold!" Shivering violently from the cold, I knelt through tears, begging for forgiveness. I promised that from now on I would serve his precious sweetheart well to atone, that I would never again let her suffer even the slightest harm. He only gave a cold order to seal the cellar, saying I needed to be taught a lesson so it would be burned into my memory. A week later, when Celine finally recovered from her cold, he finally remembered me in the cellar. "Vesper, have you truly realized your mistake? As long as you agree to kneel and apologize to Celine immediately, I’ll spare you." What he didn’t know was that by then, I had already frozen stiff in that ice cellar. And the child he had treasured so dearly no longer showed even the faintest sign of life.

Adrian Hayes has everything most people dream fame, wealth, championships, and millions of fans. But one carefully planned scandal threatens to destroy it all overnight. After being framed in a false intimacy scandal before the league playoffs, Adrian's sponsors withdraw, his reputation crumbles, and the team gives him only one week to restore public trust. Desperate, his PR team proposes an unusual solution: create the image of a loyal, wholesome friendship with someone outside the hockey world. During the search, Adrian unexpectedly reunites with Ethan Brooks, a struggling photographer he knew during university. Ethan is fighting a different battle. His mother's mounting hospital bills have pushed him to the edge of bankruptcy, forcing him to reject his dream photography projects. Although uncomfortable with becoming part of a publicity campaign, Ethan finally accepts Adrian's generous six-month contract to save his mother's life. As they appear together at games, charity events, interviews, and photo shoots, the public becomes fascinated by their effortless chemistry. Their fake friendship slowly develops into genuine trust, then affection, and eventually love. However, fame comes at a price. Their contract is leaked, jealous rivals manipulate the media, and both men are forced to choose between protecting their careers or following their hearts. Through injuries, betrayals, family struggles, and public judgment, Adrian and Ethan discover that the greatest victory is not winning championships but finding someone willing to stand beside them long after the cameras stop rolling.

But Killian doesn’t do relationships. He doesn’t do feelings. And she’s too smart to fall for someone like him. Until the day he finally snaps and says: “You're the only person who's ever made me feel anything, and I hate you for it.”

At my best friend’s marking ceremony, another shewolf tried to snatch the bouquet. It bounced off her hand and landed right in my arms. Everyone in the room looked in unspoken agreement at Alpha Derrick Anderson. They started egging him on. “Mark her! Mark her!” “This is the Moon Goddess’s will. Alpha Derrick, mark your Luna!” Derrick was pushed forward by the crowd until he stood in front of me. My cheeks turned red. My heart pounded as I waited for him to say 'will you be my mate'? Instead, he calmly took the bouquet from me, turned around, and handed it to the shewolf beside him. I froze. He reached out and ruffled my hair. His voice was as gentle as ever. “She got it first. Come on now. We’ll get it next time.” I looked at the shewolf next to me. Her face lit with surprise and quiet delight. My own face turned pale in an instant. What Derrick didn’t know was that there wouldn’t be a next time, as my marking ceremony was next week.

My hand wraps around his wrist, and I try to break free of his hold. It’s no use, so I just dig my fingers into the tendons there and glare at him. “What the hell’s your problem?” His forearm presses against my sternum as he crowds me more, ice-blue mismatched eyes full of unchecked rage. “You’re my fucking problem. Hockey’s little golden boy, coming out here with your good game tonight, acting like you own the sport.” He’s trying to get under my skin, but it won’t work. Unlike him, I don’t let my temper control me, and I definitely don’t toss hands at the drop of a hat whenever I can’t rein in my feelings. Which is why he doesn’t get the reaction he was hoping for, and I snort out a laugh. “Seriously? It was a compliment. One I meant, so just take it and move the fuck on.” “Move the fuck on?”
