Fated Fairy Tales Cold as Ice - Chapter 26
Goldie’s POV What a night that was. It was like the three of them had something to prove. They were relentless. Thankfully, there is only one other room on this floor, and when I saw Frederick last, he was heading outside. Even if he heard anything, I don’t care. I had fun. As I unwrap myself from Dex’s arms, I smirk at how sore and sticky my body is. Tala looks forward to getting home as she has been promised a better experience than me and I am one very satisfied woman. As I walk to the bathroom, I get a whiff of myself. Boy, do I need a shower. As I scrub the sweat from my skin, I talk to Tala about our future as the Luna Queen. Shadowing Sarah has been an eye-opening experience, but not in a good way. I have put on a brave face. But I hate it. Sarah is lazy and expects to be waited on hand and foot. Endlessly shopping and being fake toward people. No, thank you. Being here at Beta Academy reminds me of who I truly am. About, how as a Beta I want to support the Alpha and pr

Luna Queen Sarah’s POV As I sit in my office talking to Jasper on the phone, my emotions are ruffled when I am informed of Joanna’s return. “Joanna?” I utter her name so quietly that I doubt the words could be heard. “We all know what you said, Sarah. Nathan knows, and he’s not happy,” Jasper says with an element of disgust in his voice. But if anyone should be disgusted, it’s me. I gave Joanna a direct order, and she disobeyed it. “She should never have come back,” I snapped and hung up the phone. Leaning back in my chair, I thought about Joanna. I have hated her for as long as I can remember. But where did that hatred start? Then I recall. It all began on the day I met Nathan. She was there to ruin our special moment. She was there to ruin every moment. Even when she wasn’t around, she was all Nathan would talk about. Joanna this and Joanna that. He would tell me about all the fun they had growing up. What they had done that day. What they plan on doing in the future? How she

Goldie’s POV Even though the Sai is big, and I’m not experienced with it, it’s still my only weapon. That’s why I couldn’t let it go. It’s all I have. I make my way to the science department where Evangeline has set up a witch’s lab. I passed Ora and Coach Carter. Ora is no doubt racing to join Ellie. “Great Anabelle has two elementals protecting her,” I reassured Tala. Who has done nothing but complain that we should be by Anabelle’s side? I’m running so quickly that it’s a wonder I don’t rip the doors off their hinges as I burst through them. As I approached the staircase, I skid and stabbed the banister with the Sai. I tried to pull it but it was wedged. “I don’t have time for this,” I shouted, abandoning the weapon, and opting to continue to the lab. As I barge through the door, I announce, “I have one of Marco’s darts.” Holding it up. Kristopher rushes to me with a plastic tray, which I place it on. This allows me a few seconds to catch my breath. “Where is Anabelle?” Kris

Rhea’s POV The gates were just being closed when I got to them. The men closing the gates frowned at me as I squeezed through. But they didn’t stop me. My reputation precedes me, I guess. I heard the metal bars clunking and the chains rattling as they were being secured. I looked around and saw Benson taking orders from one of the Wolf Princes, so I rushed to his side. Slipping my hand into his, “What are you doing here?” He asked with a sound of panic in his voice. He looked over at the closed gates and went pale. “Frederick said you may need some support,” I responded sweetly. “Rhea. We have got this. You need to get back inside where it’s safe.” He said as he dragged me by the hand. But I pulled away from him. “The safest place on this earth is next to my brother,” I told him. He looks at me and runs his hands through his hair in frustration. Just like our dad does. “Your wolf isn’t strong enough to fight, and you will burn the wolves if they are in front of you. T

Ellie’s POV After a cheerful breakfast with Anabelle. She insisted we go for a walk. “It’s a beautiful day outside,” she pleaded. Seeing her this happy fills my heart with joy. I love my sister more than anything and I want her to be happy. A small stroll out in the sunshine is not a lot to ask. As we walk, she takes hold of my hand and reminds me of stories from our childhood. She makes me snicker with some memories she has. Like when we built a snowman together or when we would dance around the halls. “Or that one time you dressed as a duck because dad would let us bathe together.” Mentioning our dad reminded me of him. “I’m sorry about all of this,” I said. “What?” Anabelle yelled at me, “What are you sorry for? Sorry because you were born differently? You’re kidding, right? I think you’re the best sister I could ever wish for.” She looked at her feet, then at me. “But you have to promise me. You have to promise you will never leave or abandon me again.” Anabelle hugs me. “

Evangeline’s POV The excruciating pain takes my breath away. As I clutch my chest, “Ana” is all I can say. This is Anabelle’s pain. I can’t do anything to help her. I can’t lift my head, never mind get to my feet. Kristopher kicks me as he thrashes around uncontrollably. After what feels like an eternity, the sharp intensity of the pain reduces. The only healer I know is right next to me, so I know what that means. Anabelle’s body is shutting down as she dies. Getting on all fours, I try to get to my feet. But I slipped and had to hold on to the countertop for support. Something plastic crunches under my hand. “You need to save Anabelle,” I yell at Kristopher, who is still lying on the ground. He gets to his feet a lot easier than I did, but he continues to hold his chest. As I let go of the counter, the plastic tray I am crushing falls flat, and a syringe rolls into the center of the tray. I hesitate, and Kristopher grabs my arm, trying to pull me along. I grab the syringe, know

Evangeline’s POV I was terrified when I saw my daughter kneeling on the ground. Her hands were bound, and Millicent had a knife pressed dangerously close to her throat. My heart pounded in my chest, and a cold sweat trickled down my back as I realized this was my worst nightmare. But I wasn’t sleeping. Ora is sobbing uncontrollably and looks terrified. She should be scared. Millicent is evil enough to kill her without flinching. “No,” I shouted out. “Please don’t hurt her.” I sobbed and fell to the ground in terror. My distress causes Millicent’s smile to grow even wider. She takes great pleasure in this. Millicent’s got a hook instead of a hand. Ora’s hair is wrapped around the hook, and Millicent is forcefully pulling her head back. Fully exposing her throat. Something in my periphery catches my eye. But when I glanced properly, there was nothing there. “Please let her go,” I pleaded. “Why would I do that? What’s in it for me?” Millicent questions with a disgusted tone. She use

Jo’s POV “Argh!” I could hear a man shouting. I attempt to open my eyes to see who is yelling and what they are yelling about, but my eyelids refuse to move. “Jupiter,” I called to my wolf. But she didn’t respond, which is unlike her. She has never been unreachable since she arrived on my 18th birthday. “Jupiter,” I called again. Thankfully, this time when I call her, she snorts at me. “Jupiter, what’s going on? Why didn’t you answer me? Why can’t I move?” I asked. But she doesn’t respond. Maybe she can’t? I thought to myself. My brain goes into overdrive thinking about what could subdue my Alpha wolf. I heard voices around me. But I can’t process what they’re saying. Open your eyes, Jo. Move your hand. Do something, don’t just lie here all pathetic and useless. I scold myself. But my body doesn’t move. The only change I notice is that my sense of smell gets better, and the smell of blood fills my nostrils. This causes me to panic, but there is nothing I can do. Not in this vege

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

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

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

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
