The Alpha and the Ice Princess Chapter 13 - Dangerous ground.
DanielI could see the fury in my father’s eyes. I could see him weighing out his options. If he challenged me and accidentally won, he would no longer have an heir, but he would have his title and power back. If he lost, he wouldn’t just be humiliated, but he would also be dead.“Fine! I will leave the girl alone for now.” His eyes were filled with hatred, but I knew that he hated Ava and the situation I had put myself in, and not me.“Dad. You have to stay away. We all know she will probably die from childbirth. So, there is no need for you to put any of us in any further danger. Please, I’m only going to ask this one more time. Don’t do something we will all regret.” I let go of my father, but I could see that he was not going to listen. He stormed off and at the end of the passage I saw Harper glaring at me.“I know you, Daniel.” Alex gripped my arm. “Don’t let dad draw you in to his drama like he always did when we were children.”“Shut up Alex! This is not the time to pretend t

AvaI was surprised when Alex walked in an hour later with a salad instead of the normal meal they had been bringing me. I was even more surprised when Alex said we could go for a walk after I had finished my salad.“I thought it was too dangerous to leave my room?” I glared at Alex.“It is, but Daniel has made sure that nobody will bother us?” After everything I had been through in this place, I wasn’t sure if I could trust Alex, but I really wanted fresh air. It felt eerie as we walked down the empty passage and made our way outside. The porch looked comfortable with its rocking chairs and homemade cushions.I could not see anyone in what seemed to be their “town square.” There was a beautiful fountain in the middle of the square, just like the one in my hometown. There were fragrant roses planted on the edges, and there was a huge tree in one corner, with a lush green lawn, and a wooden bench underneath it.“I know you’re probably not going to tell me, but I’m going to ask anyway.

DanielOver the coming months, I watched and feared as Ava’s belly grew. I was constantly on edge, not only because my father did not listen, and kept trying to get to Ava, but also, because I knew that she would soon be gone. With each passing day, I was getting closer to meeting my pup, but also to losing Ava.I was madly in love with her, and the more I saw her relationship with Alex grow, the more it pained me to watch. I could tell that Harper was up to something, I just wasn’t able to figure out what. The tension within our pack was growing, and there was nothing I could do to stop the divide.HarperI was not in love with Daniel. Everybody knew that. But, as the future Luna, I deserved more respect from Daniel. This was our way. It was decided long ago. Why couldn’t he just have done the right thing from the start, and rejected the girl, the moment he found out?She had been there for months, and I could feel Daniel pulling away from me more and more each day. Daniel’s father h

AvaHarper ran so fast that some of the branches were hitting me in the face, and I could feel one of them cutting into my cheek. We reached the main road, and I was stunned at the speed with which we had covered such an enormous distance. Harper kneeled, and got off, after which she shifted back into her human form. I couldn’t understand how Daniel could be engaged to such a stunning woman, and still sleep with me.“Ava, you can never come back. You can never speak to Daniel again. He is mine. I’m setting you free only because you are carrying his child. I know that a lot of people see me as a monster, but even I won’t take an innocent life of a baby.” It was the first time that I saw one of them up close, and it was frightening.“But what if he follows me?” I was completely out of breath even though I wasn’t the one running. “I have nowhere to go. He knows where I stay. What if he hurts my grandmother?”“Don’t you worry about Daniel. I will make sure that he is well taken care of. I

AvaIt felt strange to wake up in my own bed the next morning. It felt even stranger to remember the things my grandmother told me. After she explained everything, we realized how late it was, and we decided to continue our conversation in the morning.As I opened my cupboard, I realized that I had nothing to wear. All the maternity clothes were still in that damned room in Daniel’s home. I found a pair of old sweatpants that barely fit over my enormous stomach and a t-shirt that made me look like a homeless person, but at least the clothes were clean, and I was dressed. I made my way downstairs and found my grandmother in the kitchen making breakfast.“How are you feeling this morning?” She hesitated and I frowned.“It’s weird. I thought I would feel a lot worse. I mean, I must have walked about thirty or so kilometers to get here.” I poured myself some juice and watched as she put our plates on the dining table. I hadn’t even realized I was starving until the smell of the food caugh

DanielOf course, I would never kill my father, but at that moment I couldn’t believe that anybody else would have gone against my wishes. It was infuriating that nobody had seen anything, or heard anything, and if they did, they weren’t talking. I questioned all the guards using my Alpha tone, and in the end, I had to accept that none of them knew anything.I knew where she was, and it was clear that she was not going anywhere. I couldn’t imagine Ava or her grandmother harming Liam. Which meant that his sudden disappearance remained a mystery. Nothing of what was happening made any sense, but the fact that Ava left as soon as she saw the chance.It was incredibly painful to think that she had gone to such extremes just to get away from me. I was standing at the window looking out at the pack going about their daily business, when I felt Harper slipping her arms around my waist.“What the hell do you think you are doing?!” I whipped around so fast, and pushed her so hard that she land
The Alpha and the Ice Princess Chapter 19 - Meeting my family.
Ava“I suspect that Daniel’s pack is one of those that broke the bloodline spell, since they can all shift at will. I know that all of this is overwhelming, but I need you to try and process it as fast as possible. Your parents were the Alpha and Luna of our pack. Before then, your grandfather and I had that honor. To this day, we don’t know who killed your parents, or what exactly happened that night.” Grandma had a sad look in her eyes for a moment.“The pack and I believed that it was best to hide you in the human world, and you and I left. I haven’t been back to see them since then, but over the years I kept them informed about you. The pack decided to go into hiding as well, and your father’s beta took over control, but nobody claimed your birth right.” Grandma took a deep breath as though what she had to tell me next would be difficult.“As you may have guessed, you are the Alpha. From the moment we arrive, the pack will automatically become loyal to you, and their future heir t
The Alpha and the Ice Princess Chapter 20 - The trouble with family...
DanielSince there was no sign of Ava, and one of the Alpha family members died, I was forced to turn my attention from searching for her, to the funeral of my brother. I could feel my father’s resentment radiating from him. He believed that Ava and her grandmother were to blame for him losing his son.It was raining the day of the funeral, which meant we had to bury my brother beside my mother, and we were not able to say goodbye in the traditional way. It didn’t matter anyway, since the days of believing that people could come back, as the undead were long gone.“I don’t care what happens on the day of my funeral. If you put my body in the ground, instead of showing me the right respect, by burning what is left, I will return, and haunt you, and all the generations of your bloodline to come. I swear Daniel, this is the last time I will accept this kind of behaviour from you.” My father growled before storming away.There was no use in trying to explain anything. I knew my father wel

HelenaAt first, I thought they were all insane. I couldn’t possibly be who they said. Yeah, okay, fine, so males listened when I spoke, but to call me the alpha of alphas was just weird. In time, however, it slowly started to show. I started to figure out how to use my power without harming anyone.The last thing I wanted to do was upset any of the males. I didn’t want to be the one ruling everyone. I just wanted to keep my promise to Nagaara. I wanted to make sure our people didn’t break my promise. I wanted to make sure everyone lived in peace.“You know, I think you might just be the reincarnation of your ancestor.” Max looked amused.“Not that again.” I frowned, but amusement was playing around in my eyes. We had discussed it a lot over the years. Even our children believed I was the reincarnation of Luna Ava. It could very well be possible, but I just couldn’t completely wrap my mind around it.The werewolves lived in peace with the dragons from the day I made the promise. Nagaa

HelenaWithin the first couple of days, the guests started to arrive. My family showed up within the first twenty-four hours and each time I had to explain what the promise I made meant. It was the general consensus. It seemed that I shouldn’t have done it. That I couldn’t speak for all the packs. They felt, they being the alpha males, that I didn’t have the right to make a promise on their behalf.“That is what none of you seem to understand!” After being spoken to as though I was a second-rate citizen for more than a week, I finally lost my patience. Max had been doing his best to defend me, but the hits just kept coming, and my sudden growl silenced every alpha in the room.“I didn’t make the promise on your behalf. I made it to save our pack. Where do you think she would have gone once she was done with us? You can’t tell me that all of you think she would have stopped with our pack! I believe she was on her way to doing exactly what she promised me she would do if we attacked aga

HelenaThe fact that there was the very real possibility that Nagaara could have killed me didn’t hit me until it was all over. While I was talking to her, I felt safe. It was only when I saw how worried Max was that I realized it. Nagaara just had to breathe too hard, and she would have melted my skin clear off.Tears started to run as Max took me into our home. Huge sobs ripped through my entire body as he clung to me, whispering sweet words to try and calm my racing heart. I had no idea how long I had been crying but my tears finally stopped.We got cleaned up and when we walked out, most of the damage had been cleaned up. It would take some time to rebuild the homes that were destroyed, but as long as we had peace, we could all live with what had happened. I could see relief and gratitude on all the faces.“You reminded me of something I heard about your family. It was a story my mother told me when I was a very young pup.” Max smiled as we found a seat and two omegas brought us s
The Alpha and the Ice Princess Chapter 117 - True lasting peace.
NagaaraI wasn’t entirely sure why I was sitting in the dirt listening to a wolf, but Helena had been kind to me when we met. I also read about what her pack went through so many years ago. How they were also persecuted by the other wolves because they were different and how they found a way to peace thanks to one wolf called Ava.I knew that Helena was a direct descendant of Ava’s. That’s probably why I was willing to sit there in the middle of the open square in the dirt. I was curious as to why someone with her lineage would bind herself to the people who nearly wiped out my kind.I knew she would try to convince me not to attack, but I still wanted to hear her out.MaxI was going out of my mind as I paced back and forth just beyond the edge of the forest. I could see Helena and Nagaara in the square. Both were seated, and I could tell that they were talking, but we were too far off to hear what was being said.I was so scared! Why did Helena do that? Why the hell did I leave her
The Alpha and the Ice Princess Chapter 116 - Facing the past.
NagaaraI felt pride as I watched my babies take their first flight, and then anxiety set in, and I instantly called them back. They needed to learn how to fly and how to defend themselves, but they also needed to learn where it was safe. They might be fully grown and might have some of the knowledge of our ancestors, but they were still only babies.It was my duty as their mother to protect them. The same way that my mother tried to protect me. My babies had to learn a lot before we would be able to take on the beasts. I sighed as they gathered around me and I showed them where they could fly and where not.They learned quickly and within a day, I could tell that they were ready. It was shocking, since I thought we would need months, but my babies were breathing fire and the quicker we got rid of the threat, the sooner they could take to the skies at will.MaxI never knew I could feel the kind of happiness I felt whenever Helena walked into a room. Sadly, our happiness was still ove

NagaaraFor months, I waited patiently and tended to my eggs and on one clear and beautiful night with the moon shining bigger and brighter than I had ever seen it, I heard the first crack of a shell. Moments later, I was helping my firstborn out of his egg. He was so beautiful that I almost forgot about the others who promptly started to hatch.It was the most beautiful moment of my young life. They were all instantly hungry, of course, but I didn’t mind. I gave them the love I was never able to get from my mother and by morning they were grown. Thanks to a very ancient spell and to protect our kind, we grew to adulthood within hours after being born.I promised myself as I watched them during the night that I would make sure they never had to experience the loss that I had. I promised myself I would guide them and teach them in a way I never got to have. I promised myself again that I would get my revenge on the beasts so that my children could live in peace.HelenaMax and I agreed
The Alpha and the Ice Princess Chapter 114 - Surprised?
MaxShe said yes! Okay fine, so she didn’t actually say yes, but she might as well have! My heart soared on the drive home. I had never felt like that. I felt like a young pup in love and it was simply wonderful. Ridiculous that a man at my age was acting like a young pup, but still. It was probably one of the best days of my life.The second we arrived home, I started to plan. She said that she didn’t think it would be a surprise, but I fully intended on surprising her. Whatever I did on the day we accepted each other had to be spectacular. I thought about the young dragon girl only for a moment before pushing all thoughts of her to the back of my mind.There had been no reports or sightings. We even went as far as checking their old home, and she hadn’t gone there. At least, I was told by my warriors they had been there, but I trusted them. They wouldn’t lie to me knowing how dangerous she was.I actually felt as though life could finally begin. We weren’t in the middle of a war, an
The Alpha and the Ice Princess Chapter 113 - Things surely have changed.
HelenaI had given Max a lot to think about. Hell, I had a lot to think about. So, it wasn’t a huge surprise when I didn’t hear from Max for a couple of days. I couldn’t help but giggle whenever I thought about him, and it was honestly becoming a royal pain.So, by the time my brother showed up at my doorstep to inform me that Max had requested another visit, I was ready to burst out of my skin with excitement. It was not how a woman of my age should act. I couldn’t damn well help myself.My second visit with Max went better than the first and I found myself actually laughing at his odd joke. Things unfortunately turned serious right before our time was up when Max asked if I could see myself sharing a future with him.“I could. I wouldn’t lie about that, but your future …” I thought about it as a frown formed on my face. “As a matter of fact, all of our futures still hang in the balance. We don’t know where the young dragon went or what her plans are. I couldn’t possibly have childre
The Alpha and the Ice Princess Chapter 112 - Freedom of choice versus destiny?
HelenaI had been going back and forth about why I should reject Max for the second time and my mother was telling me why I shouldn’t. She had one point that I couldn’t deny. I didn’t really know him all that well. I had judged him in a very difficult time when he was probably not himself. I shook my head and frowned.“NO! I can’t be with that man! He is infuriating.” I pouted and crossed my arms over my chest like a young child who didn’t want to do something.“Well, I’m afraid you will have no other choice. He has requested an official meeting with you through your brother. You know the law. You have to give him a chance.” My mother huffed before storming out and I sighed deeply. I should have known that Max would do his research about that! That was if he didn’t already know the laws about mates.An hour later, my brother showed up at my front door and right behind him Max was grinning at me. I didn’t even greet him, as my brother explained the rules to the both of us. Max wasn’t a
