Fated Fairy Tales Beauty Sleep - Chapter 31
Benson’s POV At the stroke of midnight, my wolf, Phillipe, appeared. It was a significant moment in my life. Exactly what I hoped for. I can’t help but feel underwhelmed, though. Rhea not being there to enjoy it with me ruined the moment. My saddened feeling pissed Phillipe off. It was a significant moment for him. He complained that I should have been over the moon about this arrival. When I explained the situation to him and told him how important Rhea was to me, he fully understood. He demanded to join the trackers in their search for Rhea. I was thrilled about his offer. But I don’t want him at his full strength before he undertakes such a task. If he went racing off to join them without training, he would be more of a hindrance than a help. He was also new to this world and not trained to work as a team. He unknowingly could put us in danger. “Better get a stronger connection with the pack fast, then.” He said as he blocked me out until later in the day. Later that

Benson’s POV During the first few months at Alpha Academy, I didn’t feel like myself. I go to classes. I attend training. But I am simply going through the motions. I’m not good at anything, and I’m constantly feeling down. I feel like an empty shell of who I used to be. I cry myself to sleep most nights, thinking about Rhea. I can’t accept the fact my sister is out there, being held against her will. Eventually, Phillipe got sick of me being miserable and suggested that we go off and search for Rhea on our own. I considered it at first. But she could be anywhere. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, as she could be anywhere in the country. Survival training is the worst, as we do have the opportunity to go. It’s a struggle, but we stay and hope for news. Occasionally, I am called to Principal Sinker’s office and informed of developments. Those are the days that lift my spirits and pull me out of my slump. I connect with my classmates during that time; I fight

Benson’s POV “There’s a chance it’s Rhea.” My mom said. I couldn’t speak, so I nodded my head. Not that anyone was looking. Tears of hope streamed down my face as my heart pounded faster than ever before. My dad drove like a maniac. We all offered to drive if Dad got tired. But Dad was a man on a mission. “It’s finally over. She’s coming home.” I told Phillipe with a smile on my face. He was ecstatic that I was happy. I closed my eyes and rested my head on the window. “Hi Benson,” Rhea said, smiling as she stood in our kitchen. She looked better than in my previous dreams. Her cheeks had color. Reinforcing my belief it’s her in the hospital. I rushed over and embraced her. “We’re coming to get you. We’re going to take you home.” I told her. She places her hands on my shoulders and kisses my cheek. “I won’t be the one going home, Benson.” The realization of what she is saying hits me. I fell to my knees and pulled on her dirty dress as I cried. “No, this is just a dream.

Matty’s POV “I have to go, Goldie,” I told her as I walked down the stairs. She grabs hold of me. “You could give me the cliff notes version,” she pleads. “Trust me, the cliff notes version won’t touch the surface.” I leaned closer to her. “It’s huge.” I pull away and she looks like a goldfish. “You are kidding?” She says each word individually. I nod my head, confirming that this secret is a big deal. “Let me pack a bag, and I’ll come with you.” She offers. “That would lead to too many questions. It’s a secret.” “What’s the secret?” Uncle Nathan asked from the top of the stairs. I don’t know who would kill me first if he found out. Dad would make it quick, whereas Jo would make me suffer. Either way, I don’t want to die. “Er. The party I want to organize for Shannen when she returns from Beta Academy.” I said, making something up quickly. He laughs. “She still won’t let her mark her, huh?” he says with a smile on his face. “Takes after her sister. Headstro

Matty’s POV I had to wait for two months until I finally got to have some alone time with Goldie. I only got that because Goldie told everyone she wanted a night, with face masks, snacks, and a chick flick. Everyone seemed to have plans when she told them that. But it was all an act of deception. As Goldie slurped on her drink. I started explaining what was going on. From the day I was in my dad’s office and received that phone call until now. “You are freaking kidding me,” Goldie said before she shoved a handful of popcorn into her mouth. “That’s why Dad is making me stay there. I am helping guard a real-life freaking princess.” “Bloody hell, Matty. You get yourself into some crazy situations.” Goldie laughs after swallowing what’s in her mouth. “It wasn’t me this time. It was my dad.” I told her, snickering. “Oh, geez, Nathan is going to freak out when he learns the truth about why Jo left.” “That’s why this is a secret no one can know. That’s why I had to swear you

Ora’s POV I can’t believe Goldie is the future Luna Queen. She’s so cool. I can see why Shannen looks up to her so much. She is everything a big sister should be. Now when Shannen talks about her, I can put a face to the name. It was a shame she had to leave before Shannen returned. Shannen would have loved to have seen her. But Matty explained why they couldn’t meet. I don’t understand the logic behind these rules. But who am I to challenge an institution that has educated students for years? As Goldie departed, she hugged me. “Thanks for being here for Shannen,” she said. “I think it’s the other way around. Shannen is here for me.” We both snickered, knowing how great Shannen was. Later that day, I stood beside Aunt Jo and Matty in front of the academy. The coach drove up and stopped in front of us. I couldn’t help but notice how disappointed everyone looked. “Guess they didn’t win,” Aunt Jo remarks. She must have noticed it, too. Principal Andrews gathered everyone

Ora’s POV At the time, I had mixed feelings about what was happening. I felt a combination of fear and excitement at the same time. I thought I had enough time to improve before I met my mom. But now, two weeks later, nothing. I started to question whether the coffee incident was a one-off. It’s the last day of the month and, as always, Aunt Jo escorts me to the church at Summer Hill. As I entered, Father Nicholas was there to greet me. “You never miss our multi-faith day. Do you Ora?” He says with an enormous smile on his face. “I have people of multiple faiths I want to pray for,” I replied. “Then I am glad I can offer you somewhere to pray for them.” He says, gesturing for me to come inside. Usually, when I am there, no one else shows up. I have the entire place to myself. After walking through the foyer, I go to touch the fountain of holy water. But the tips of my fingers tingle as I touch the water. I leave my fingers in the blessed water and watch as a small trickl

Jo’s POV The sheriff of Summer Hill is unbearable. He always seems to walk by whenever we’re here. Constantly telling me about his achievements, personally and professionally. Today, though, he suggested taking me out to dinner. I did well not to laugh in his face. I wouldn’t be attracted to a man like him. Heck, we’re not even the same species. Jupiter doesn’t like him either. She is more than happy to wait until the elixir wears off to confirm if Carson is our mate. At the moment, I am more than willing for him to meet my sexual needs. There is certainly something between us. The thought of my last encounter with Carson made me smile. But I smiled at the wrong time, as the sheriff thought I was smiling at him. “Damn it. I thought he was going to leave.” I scolded myself. Jupiter snickers at me, telling me it was my fault. Thanks to the goddess, Ora appeared when she did, or the sheriff may have found out the type of woman I truly am. Not one to be messed with. Before we

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
