But the date turns disastrous when Nueva gets attacked and bitten by an enormous dog-like animal. If that wasn't bad enough, her date leaves her abruptly without explanation directly after the attack.
This event throws Nueva into an unknown world of werewolves, Banshees, and strange magic when an old legend speaks of the powerful Ice wolf, a white beast dormant inside Nueva's human body. Alpha Gray of the White Creek pack is so confident that she is the key to breaking the Alpha's curse that's robbed him of a mate-bond that he kidnaps her and brings her to his pack. There she has to learn how to defend herself and unlock the potentials hidden within. All while trying to survive the growing number of Rogues attacking and attempting to take over the White Creek pack by eliminating anything standing in their way. But can the human girl with the Ice Wolf break the curse and restore the power and strength to this weakening pack? And, when the time comes, will Alpha Gray be willing to let her go after he develops strong feelings for her despite the missing mate-bond, knowing he will send her to certain death.

Chapter: Chapter 64Nueva pov. Alpha Gray's face stayed on her retina as bright and clear as if he was there with her. His tender smile comforted and followed her on the first stretch of the journey into the unknown. But then, as the darkness became more dense and sunken, his calm, reassuring countenance disappeared into the void. "Don't go. Stay with me!" She called out and chased after his fading image. Nueva soon realised she was not only lost but utterly alone in this strange dark place. She was dressed in a sheer bright white fairytale gown, and her pale locks draped perfectly down her back. Nueva's creamy complexion formed an aurora glowing light blue in the heavy blackness. She didn't feel scared despite being alone in this alien world. Neither was she cold nor hungry, sad nor happy. She just existed. "Is this how it feels to die?" Nueva thought to herself as she strolled tirelessly forward. "I had pictured a very different place. Definitely more light and welcoming. Maybe this is a half

Chapter: Chapter 63Perla was waiting for them at the front door. She limped down the steps as the pick-up came to a screeching halt.Alpha Gray jumped out, carrying Nueva in his arms."I have been waiting for you. I knew something had happened when I saw the light beam." Perla called out in a raspy voice.Nueva's hand fell down and hung lifeless by her side as Alpha Gray ran past his grandma.Perla gasped, and her age-worn hands cupped her thin, cracked lips. She hurried after her grandson."Put her down on the couch", she instructed in uneven breaths. Marigold came running from the pick-up, and Perla waved her past her inside the door.Alpha Gray gently placed Nueva on the old couch next to the crackling fireplace. The small living room was warm and smelt like wood smoke and chocolate cookies.The light was dim and yellow, lit up by a tall foot lamp standing in one corner behind the rocking chair and a few pillar candles burning above the fireplace, giving the place a cosy feel. "What happened? Did s

Chapter: Chapter 62Alpha Gray lay still in the shallow water.His face was resting on Nueva's chest. Her breathing was slow, and she rocked his head in an irregular movement.He was confused over the event that had just transpired, and it took him a moment to collect his thoughts.The winter sun touched their faces and left warm rosy trails on their skin from its butter yellow kisses. Alpha Gray sighed at the sunshine's comforting caress.Everything felt more intense, the sunlight's bright rays burning his eyes and brushing over his skin. It was like he could see and feel things more apparent, and his senses seemed to be buzzing with a new form of energy that he couldn't explain.Then, suddenly Alpha Gray remembered where he was and what had just happened.He scrambled onto his knees, and his eyes darted around the clearing for any imminent danger.Marigold stood to their side, bowed head and hiding her eyes, but Alpha Gray could see light streaks of salty tears on her cheeks."Marigold, You are alive?

Chapter: Chapter 61Alpha Gray found Nueva lying motionless in a large shallow water puddle on the thawed ground.She was on her side with her back facing him. Her pink naked body stood somewhat out against the colourless backdrop.Alpha Gray's heart hammered in his chest, and a sudden stab of fear crossed his grave face.He ran towards her and sunk hard onto his knees in the freezing silverly coloured water.She opened her swollen eyes, and he could see that she had been crying. Her plump lips turned into a tender smile when she saw his face. But before Alpha Gray could speak, a tall, dark shadow fell over them.The attack was swift and sudden.The blade sliced into his back towards his heart. His chest ripped, and his ribs broke in a sickening crunch.Alpha Gray wobbled and fell onto Nueva; his dark blood stained her naked body. Nueva screamed in shock. His warm damp, and heavy body pushed the air out of her twisting her chest small."Leave him alone." Nueva cried out. Her voice was weak and airless.

Chapter: Chapter 60Thawing Thiago's heart had erased the cursed demon in him, turning back the time to before he became cruel and ruthless in his pursuit of power. So, instead, in front of Eira stood a young and spirited strawberry roan wolf. Thiago stared at her, and his impressive wolf form seemed to grow with every breath after hearing Eira's word, turning his stance confident and proud. "Mate," Thiago said in return, and his hackles glowed in gold when speaking this loaded word."What has just happened?" Nueva stuttered, confused."He's my mate," Eira answered, equally bewildered."But, how?" Nueva started, then it hit her, and the unanswered pieces fell into place. "I know what needs to be done," she continued in a vacant voice. "What do you mean?" This time it was Eira who was clueless. "Sometimes, the best thing to do is not overthink. Instead, just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best," Nueva whispered in a bittersweet tone. "I don't understand what you are tryi

Chapter: Chapter 59Eira's coat glistened from sweat in the low light of the wintery sun. Her breath was laboured, and her pink tongue flapped in the wind.They had been galloping over the crusty frost-covered fields forever.Both of them were desperate for a moment of rest. But the demon had sealed the fog and the only way out.So instead, Nueva and her bestial wolf were trapped and locked away from their earthly world, running tirelessly to escape the imposing peril.Eira cut over the fields into the quiet woodland, darting between the weighty branches bowing down to the white land.The fresh, clean air was loaded with the unmistakable scent of snow. Dirty clouds floated over the sky with the promise of an impending refill of crystal stars.Suddenly the faint whispers returned. "Make fire with ice." The woman's voice sang beautifully with the winnowing breeze. "I don't understand?" Nueva groused, confused. But the voice only repeated the exact words."Eira, do you hear a woman's voice? Nueva asked her

Chapter: Chapter 16A steady rhythmical whirring seeped into her ears, and Minnow blinked as her eyes adjusted.An expansive room with a high ceiling and smooth concrete walls stretched out in front of her.She first thought, have I just stepped into a military base? There were desktops alongside the slate grey walls with multiple laptops and computers, the hard-disk access light flickered in the dim glow, and the drives made a high-pitched whining noise as they received continuous data.Above the desks hung large screens displaying what looked like surveillance footage from numerous foreign locations. On the opposite wall were countless glass cabinets with a vast arsenal of weapons.Under a warm light was an old wooden bookshelf adorned with ancient inky treasures lined by size. The wood on the bookshelf looked like it was once a part of a mighty ship that had washed up on a beach one day. But, now finally sat in its forever harbour, in this room. A sturdy steel table stood in the middle, with docume

Chapter: Chapter 15The truck ride down the mountain was uneventful. The man who introduced himself as Elias was chatty and vibrant. Aiko wasn't really in the mood to talk but answered Elias's question appeasingly. The rhythmic rocking of the truck made her eyes heavy, and she swung her restless gaze over the stunning nature flowing past the windows. On one side of the road, the knobbly face of the mountain was grizzled and sacristy silent. On the other side, a magnificent panorama view peeked through a harmonic blend of towering emerald pine trees and the ember-red leaves of autumn. "So, are you from the mountain?" She suddenly heard herself ask in a desperate attempt to stay awake."No, I live closer to White Creek. That's where I have my farm." Elias clarified."You are a long way from home," she mumbled and rubbed her narrowing eyes.Sleep seemed hellbent on claiming her right this instant."Yes, but it's worth the trip. I sell most of my produce to The Moonfall town. They are great people," Elias

Chapter: Chapter 14The grass was crispy under Aiko's feet, growing freely on the clumpy, mossy mattress floor. A flurry of wind carried a fragrance with it. It was soul-refreshing to smell the mulchy mix of the forest's perfume.Aiko knew the best thing to do when lost in the woods was to try to retrace your steps. It was obviously harder to do when you had been brought to a place blindfolded.So she searched the surrounded area for footsteps. She found large prints near the crater in the ground and glanced in the direction they pointed; she now knew to walk the other way.The hells pit looked like a natural sinkhole with circular earth and stone blended edge. The first blush of light had chased the shadows and banished the gloom, and Aiko could finally see the bottom of the hole.She estimated it was about a 10-meter drop to the smashed cardboard boxes on top of the foam mattresses.The isolated, unpleasant hollow contained nothing but natural debris that had fallen down over time.The ropes twisted fi

Chapter: Chapter 13Minnow's head pounded with tension as she slowly returned to consciousness. Her mouth was still gagged with duct tape, and the musky-smelling sack remained over her face.Goosebumps burning like coal covered every inch of her shivering body in the cold night air. Two unknown people dragged her down a quiet, isolated trail. Her bare feet slid across what felt like rotting leaves and squelchy mud.Nausea stirred in her gut, and panic rose instinctively in her chest from being unable to vomit with her mouth covered.They stopped, and the forest sounds could be heard through the sack's coarsely woven fabric. A wise owl hooted in the distance, and a fox's agonizing cries echoed amongst the towering tree giants swaying in the breeze.A gust of icy wind travelled up from underneath. Minnow gasped at the paralyzing fear of being hung over a cliff edge.She could feel the coldness of the rock beneath her feet as her toes curled around the edge in one last futile attempt at survival—Minnow's h

Chapter: Chapter 12Minnow shifted her weight from one foot to the other as the guests sang the celebration song at a deafening volume.The unpleasant feeling of being stared at intensified as more people entered her field of vision. She was surrounded from every angle on a razor's edge of panic. Minnow glanced furtively over the shoulder with an urge to run, but where to? Aiko's thoughts and her very different personality exploded through Minnow's mind. She was feeding on Minnow's fears and anxieties, using them to become stronger.Aiko pried among Minnow's memories, ridiculing her for being a weak pacifist. They were nothing alike.Their voices conflicted among themselves—within Minnow's head."Regretting sending me away?" Aiko's voice echoed smugly."Never. I am handling it, ok, so leave." Minnow took one long, slow, deep breath as she endeavoured to convince herself that her fast reply was true. "Look at you all sweaty and stressed. You are pathetic." Aiko snickered."Leave. I don't need you", Min

Chapter: Chapter 11As the night continued, Aiko mingled the crowd with elegance and ease. She held the influential businessmen's lingering stare with newfound confidence and calm.Aiko knew the men in the room desired her, and she moved her curvy body sensually and gracefully to tease and provoke.Minnow couldn't control anything happening to her; in what felt like an out-of-body experience. Nevertheless, they remained co-conscious in a state where one person was out, but the other was aware of what was transpiring.Minnow was mortified over the way her alter acted around these big shots.Her grandfather watched her from the centre of the room, surrounded by a group of flatterers. His usual disapproving frown was there, but there was a shift in his glare as curiosity flashed in his milky eyes. "You seem so different. I thought you hated these kinds of events?" Saylor questioned as they danced to the upbeat tunes.He glanced at her suspiciously, and she pouted her full lips and peeked at him from under
