Fated Fairy Tales Cold as Ice - Chapter 1
Ellie’s POV “Who are you?” Ora asked me. It’s a reasonable question. All she knows is that I invaded her mind while she wasn’t awake. It’s difficult to talk about my past. But if it helps my cause, I have to do it. “Once upon a lifetime. I, Eleanor Walker, was the eldest child of Wolf King Angarr and Witch Queen Iduna. A princess by birth and the heir to the Scandinavian kingdom.” I bite my bottom lip when I mention my parent’s names. I miss them so much. “Usually, witches don’t show any signs of power until they approach their 18th birthday. An elemental gift can appear at any point after a witch turns seventeen. I’ve had my elemental power from birth. Which was why my parents hid me away.” I waved my hand above a glass of water that was sitting on the table. I watched Ora’s face as it turned into a block of ice. She looks at me and her jaw drops. “It was just my sister, Anabelle, growing up. Best of friends. But because of me, we were isolated. I felt so guilty, bu

Benson’s POV It was so dark and the flames were so high, I could almost see anybody. I had to step towards Ora to see who she was referring to. I could see a figure but not make out if it was male or female. I squinted and finally noticed it was a girl. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I borrowed Phillipe’s vision. There must be something wrong with his eyesight. Maybe the stress has gotten to me. The girl then got to her feet, and I knew “Rhea?” I yelled, still not quite believing it was her. I had dreamed of finding her for so long. I was so overwhelmed that tears left my eyes as I sprinted towards her. I just kept thinking about the fact I’d finally found my baby sister. I ran to her, calling out her name. She came running to me. As soon as she got close, she leaped into my arms and nuzzled her face against my neck. “Thank you, goddess. Thank you.” I whispered as I wept. A wave of emotions I had suppressed hit me all at once. I held her tight, and I never wanted to le

Benson’s POV Ellie hired a small electric car and drove us for miles. I called shotgun, so I could get a good view of where we were going. I’m not sure if I fully trust Ellie. Rhea taps me on the shoulder and grins at me, “It’s not really called Dragon Valley. But with it being near a volcano and with the geysers, it might as well be. There is steam all the time, like a dragon breathing.” Seeing her smile makes me so happy. As Ellie drove, I couldn’t help but admire the vast openness of the countryside. All the mountains have snow at the peak of them. Thankfully, thanks to Phillipe, I don’t feel the cold. “Ellie, we should take them to see the tectonic plates. Seeing the plates isn’t that exciting, but the surrounding area. Oh, Benson, it’s beautiful.” Rhea bragged happily. I don’t even need to see her face to know she’s smiling. “When we have the time,” Ellie responds. “But we are passing Kolugljúfur. If you want to stop, I can charge the car,” Ellie offered. Rhea bounce

Oras POV I took a small bite of the cereal bar Rhea handed me for breakfast. I may grimace as it tastes of cardboard. But I’ll be grateful if that’s all I get. “My stomach’s going to think my throat has been cut,” Benson says after he ate his bar in two bites. I guess he’s still hungry. “Don’t worry, bro. We’re going shopping. We’ll get you some proper food.” Rhea laughs, causing him to grimace again. Guess he doesn’t enjoy shopping either. “Come with me,” Ellie says to me. She guides me outside our ice home. As we walk, Ellie questions me about my parents. To which I have no answers. I told her about growing up with my aunts in England and how Millicent attacked my home. “That’s how I ended up at Beta Academy with my Aunt Jo.” I then told her about my time at Beta Academy and learning I was a shifter. How my life had never been the same since Millicent attacked my home in England. “Seems your parents went to great lengths to keep you safe,” Ellie remarks as she takes my ha

Ellie’s POV It’s nice to have Ora and Benson around for Rhea’s sake. Rhea is great. She’s friendly and outgoing, and there is no doubt a popular member of her pack. But I’m not. I don’t have much experience socializing and have very little life experience to talk to he about. This makes our conversations short. At least now Rhea has company. Ora’s birthday is not far away, and she needs to be ready. No doubt Millicent will try to capture her before then. That’s if she can find her. I’ve been pushing Ora since she arrived. She is strong physically, and the girl is strong-willed. But she’s not fully in tune with her elemental power. Not yet anyway. The one thing Ora has is motivation. I guess having Millicent wanting you dead and needing to kill Marco to save someone you love is an excellent motivator. Every day after training, Ora poses the question of when I’ll be returning to Beta Academy. Last night, I told her the answer was yes. Ora jumped for joy and hugged

Ellie’s POV “I made a promise to help Jo.” I stood my ground firmly, informing the king. He rushes to the gate and grabs hold of the bars. “How can you help Joanna? When our healers can’t,” he questions me in a raised voice. “The same way I saved her life last week. You thought that blood transfusion worked?” I smirked at him. “Pathetic.” His eyes flickered from brown to black. “His wolf is trying to reach me. He wants us to submit. He wants to know if you are telling the truth,” Silvi informs me. I want to ask how he is speaking to her. But I don’t have the time. “I mean no harm to anyone here,” I told him. “I can’t risk it. We have the best healers in the country. They will save Joanna,” he boasted proudly. I was prepared to enter the academy with or without permission. But with the Wolf King being here, and him having the best healers in the country, I know when I am not welcome. I turned to leave. “Very we...” “Ellie? Ellie? Is that you? Oh, thank all the goddesses

Evangeline’s POV I pulled the hood of my cape over my head and looked at the ground as I approached the servants’ entrance. “Can I help you?” A guard asked as I reached the door. I stepped aside, letting a few people pass. I am going to have to speak to him. The fewer people that see me, the better. “I said, can I help you?” he repeated himself in an angrier tone. He reached out to grab me. If he touches me, he will pay with his life. Edgar will make sure about that. But I can have a man punished for doing his job. So I lifted my head and pulled my cape back to reveal my face. “Your majesty. I’m so sorry.” He spluttered as he fell to his knees. I quickly pulled the hood back up and told him to get to his feet. “I was just out gathering a few items. There was no need for an escort,” I lied. “I’m so sorry. Please,” he begged. “I am grateful you are prepared to challenge everyone. Maybe if there were more guards like you, we wouldn’t have lost so many lives during the war.” That w

Evangeline’s POV On the flight to America, I was so anxious that I felt nauseous. Edgar held my hand the whole way. He looked just as nervous as me, but he appeared to be handling it better. “What do you think she will look like?” I asked him. “If she’s half as stunning as her mom. She will be beautiful.” He said as he kissed the back of my hand. I closed my eyes as the tears poured down my face. I swallowed back a sob. My baby, I am finally going to be reunited with her. It’s been a lifetime since I held my little girl in my arms. I did a lot of breathing techniques during the flight, just to calm myself down. It worked to a degree. When the seatbelt sign came on, my anxiety turned to excitement. I was one step closer to seeing her. When we arrived at the airport, Royal Beta Jasper was there to greet us. He was a man of few words, but he may not want to risk offending us. I grabbed Dora out of my bag, and Edgar looked. “We’re in a strange country and with strange people. I am n

Fated Fairy Tales Cold as Ice - Chapter 42
Evangeline’s POV Nathan has been exceptionally accommodating ever since we settled into his home and kingdom. Edgar spends quite a lot of time with him and Jasper. It’s good to see Edgar finally relaxing after all these years. I think abdicating may have been a wise decision. I get to spend time with Ora and Shannen a lot these days. Maria’s mates have been treating her like she is breakable, which is driving her potty. As the date of Maria’s scan approaches. Nathan has been becoming more and more agitated. Edgar and Jasper have been helping him relieve some of that aggression in the training field. But I can see the emotional toll it is taking on him. I talked to Asher, Dexter, and Finley, asking for permission to speak with Maira privately. At first, they said no, “Whatever Maria is going through, she has us to support her,” Finley told me. “This is a difficult time for any family. I understand that. Maria may have relied on her mother for guidance, but she isn’t here. I am no

Benson’s POV “It will be okay,” I told Rhea as we drove to the Dark Crescent Pack. Ora and Rhea are sitting in the back seat and I can see how restless she is. “I know, but I still feel nervous about returning home,” she says. Rhea hasn’t been home since the hunters took her. We are both concerned mom will have a heart attack if she just turns up. So we both agreed to break the news to her gently. Which is why the back windows of the car are tinted. Edgar and Evangeline have given us a head start. But they are on their way to meet their in-laws. “No matter how you are feeling. Can you imagine what mom is going to be like?” I said as I approached the border’s gates. I lower the window and am greeted by a guard. He ushers me through without hesitation, telling me he has informed my dad about my arrival. I drive slowly through the pack so that Ora can see where I grew up. “It’s so quaint,” she says. “The people are so nice here. It was a great place to grow up.” Rhea tells her
Fated Fairy Tales Cold as Ice - Chapter 40
Ora’s POV After leaving Scotland, we traveled south. To a place I once called home. I had so many mixed feelings on the journey. I had lived there in that farmhouse for as long as I can remember. I have so many memories there. What stands out in my memory now, is that this is the place where Aunt Jayne and Aunt Josie lost their lives. As we pulled down the long drive, there was nothing in sight. No buildings, no equipment. Nothing but grass. “Everything is gone,” I said sadly as I got out of the car and walked around. “There is a chance Millicent burned the place to the ground to cover her tracks,” Mom told me. “You will always have your memories of this place before the attack,” Benson says. “Do you remember the time I hid in the barn?” I smile, but that’s all it is now, a memory. “Feels like a lifetime ago,” I said as he kissed my hand. “Did you do anything off the farm? Maybe that will cheer you up,” Dad asked me. “I had a pretty strict upbringing. Going out
Fated Fairy Tales Cold as Ice - Chapter 39
Evangeline’s POV Our alarm went off just as Edgar and I were still busy. We grinned at one another. “It’s been a while since we had a night like that,” he announced proudly. “Hopefully, we get to do it again. Now that life is as it should be,” I responded. There have been instances in the past where I felt guilty for my happiness while my child was out there somewhere. But that is behind me now. As we entered the dining room, I was surprised to see Ora and Benson sitting there. Ora’s hair was tied up, showing off Benson’s mark on her neck. “I guess we had better get used to having a son and a daughter,” I told Edgar before we sat opposite the couple. Coffee is brought to our table. “Have you given any thoughts about your future?” Edgar asks Ora. She stops eating and questions him about what she means. “You are our daughter. By birth, you are the heir to the throne. A princess.” Ora places her knife and fork down before she looks at Benson. “I would follow you anywhere,” Ben
Fated Fairy Tales Cold as Ice - Chapter 38
Evangeline’s POV It’s a hard pill to swallow. The baby I once cradled in my arms is now a woman. I have missed so much. I fear I will never truly get to know my daughter now that her mate bond has snapped into place. As I maneuver around the room, I see so many new friends. But the person I am keeping my eye on the most is Edgar. He is in overprotective dad mode. Every time Benson and Ora go to leave the room, he is there, blocking their path. The next time he does it, I will say something. I tell myself, knowing it won’t be long. But first, there is someone I need to speak to. I glanced around the room, easily spotting her vibrant red hair. She sees me approaching and straightens up. “Be in my lab in an hour. Bring your arrowhead. All being well, we will leave tomorrow.” I told her quickly as I could see Edgar moving again. “See if Kristopher can help,” I said as I rushed away. “Where are you two off to?” I caught Edgar asking the couple as he stood in front of them with h

Jo’s POV “Haven’t you slept for long enough?” Jupiter asks. It’s good to hear her voice even if she is complaining. “A few more minutes,” I pleaded as I stretched my limbs, hitting someone in the process. My eyes flew open, fearing who it could be. I turned my head to the side to see a face I had not seen in a very long time. “Gosh, you’ve aged badly,” I told Nathan as I rolled on my side and stroked his face. “I’ve aged fine. Thank you very much, Joanna. It’s the trouble you’ve brought to my doorstep that’s aged me. I think I’ve aged a decade since finding out you were here.” He retorts. “Are you saying I shouldn’t have come back when I had nowhere else to go?” He pulls me close to him. “You should never have left. You owe me an explanation.” He says adamantly. Seeing the pain on his face makes me think I may have made a bad decision back then. But I made it based on Nathan having a life full of happiness with his mate. I made the hard sacrifice, so he didn’t have to. I love him
Fated Fairy Tales Cold as Ice - Chapter 36
Wolf King Nathan’s POV Ajax has been inconsolable since our mate bond was severed. He decided our best chance right now was to be in human form. Being in human form would mean we had a clearer head, as the mate bond was connected through the wolf. Then he could be blocked out. I stood side by side next to my son’s wolves. Face a group of creatures set on destroying us. Every wolf around me stood strong, growling as our enemies got closer. Then, when they were close enough to smell them, we charged forward. Cooper, Colt, and Cody blocked my path. I tried to get involved, but this only distracted them. I begrudgingly took a step back for their safety. It left a bitter taste in my mouth. The howling intensified with the arrival of more wolves to the fight. I don’t know who they are, but I am grateful they are here. To make myself useful, I approach the ice wall, intending to break through it. That will be the next task we face. “It’s solid,” I say as I kick it in frustration. I cou

Merida’s POV With everything going on here and worrying about my Ma back home. I needed to blow off some steam. With my new bow and a couple of quills, I went for some target practice. I know it’s old, a lot older than I am. But this bow feels like it was custom-made for me. It’s the perfect height and weight for me. The wood is sturdy but also bendable, and the string fires my arrows faster than any other material I’ve used. It is a work of art. When Rhea suggested lighting my arrows, I couldn’t believe it. “Best day ever,” I whispered, causing her to snicker. “Wolf hearing,” she responded. I was having a great time until Frederick had to spoil my fun by telling me not to waste my arrows and sending Rhea to be with her brother. Benson is alright, but I still haven’t forgiven him or Ellie for what they did to me. Just as I was aiming to shoot an arrow at a tree, the wall of Beta Academy exploded. While dodging the flying debris, I got hit on the head. A flying piece of debris. Th
Fated Fairy Tales Cold as Ice - Chapter 34
Anabelle’s POV Frederick said I would die protecting someone important, and he was right. I protected an unconscious woman and her unborn baby. How important they are doesn’t matter, they are defenseless. The pain in my chest was excruciating, and I had trouble taking breaths. I struggled to keep my eyelids open as I tried to breathe. When they closed, happy memories of my family appeared, the things that brought me the most joy. I could hear Maria’s reassuring voice telling me help was coming. The more time I spent with my eyes closed, the more my memories lengthened. That’s when I saw memories of Ellie and me running around the castle growing up. Getting into all sorts of mischief. I began to cry at the thought of leaving Ellie. She would be all alone in this world without me. But there was nothing I could do. My chest hurt so much. Ellie was my last thought as everything became dark. I felt so cold. As the darkness consumed me. Kristopher suddenly appeared out of nowhere. A br
