The Alpha and the Ice Princess Chapter 23 - Bittersweet memories.
AvaI was fooling myself into thinking that the pack would accept another Alpha. Since I was new to this world, I mistakenly believed that it worked the same way as the human world did. I didn’t understand how important it was that the Alpha-born became the Alpha of the pack.I was quickly learning that the saying “the strongest will survive” was very literal when you were a werewolf. Although we spend most of our time in our human form, and although we were partly human, we would still turn into ravenous beasts every time the moon was full.Along with the Alpha title came the responsibility of not only leading the pack, but also protecting them. Because I was the Alpha, I was also the strongest. I was beginning to understand why Daniel had acted the way that he did, and kidnapped me.I could feel the so-called “mate bond” pulling at the back of my mind as memories of a happier time kept pushing their way forward. From the first disastrous not-dinner, to the night we made Kai. Images
The Alpha and the Ice Princess Chapter 24 - Our neighbours.
HarperI always had my ear to the ground for any information of any kind. Even the smallest insignificant piece of information could sometimes help you out of a very difficult situation if you just knew how to use it, and I had become an expert of getting myself out of trouble and keeping my secrets.The day I overheard the two Omegas discussing the return of the Alpha female, my instincts told me that piece of information would turn the tides. Now that the Alpha of our biggest rivals had returned, Daniel’s attention would have to be on strengthening and protecting our pack.I could hear him and his father screaming at each other yet again, as I made my way down the passage past Ava’s old bedroom towards Daniel’s office. I was just in time to jump in between the two growling and snarling males, who were ready to tear each other apart.“What the hell are you two doing? Are you trying to kill each other? Maybe I should just leave you to finish the job, and take over the pack myself.” I
The Alpha and the Ice Princess Chapter 25 - The meeting.
AvaIn the morning, I informed my elder council that I would accept the title. They gathered the pack, and joyous howls erupted when I informed the pack of my decision, and declared Kai as my heir. Up to that point, the future of the pack was unsure.I appreciated the respect they showed by not choosing a new Alpha while I was away, and the time had come to be the person I was always meant to be. Now that the decision had been made, and accepted by the pack, we could officially agree to a meeting with our neighbours.I quickly found out that it wasn’t as simple as just agreeing to a meeting. In the world of werewolves, having the upper-hand was always the most important. The other Alpha had insisted that we meet in his territory, but my council was telling me that it would be better for us to meet in ours.Since we were at a stalemate, I suggested that we meet in neutral territory where neither party would be able to show their true selves, and we would all be forced to behave, which

AvaI would never admit it out loud, but it was shocking seeing Daniel again. Although I kind of, sort of expected to see him. He finally sat down, and we just sat there staring at each other, while the tension outside the shop grew. I could tell that we would have to find a resolution quickly before the people outside decided for us.“So, what did you want to see me about?” I could see that he was still trying to process the fact that I was the one he met. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the luxury of wasting that time for fear that I would tell him about his son.“That can wait. I want to know how you became the Alpha. More importantly, I want to know about my pup. Is it safe? Is he or she happy? Did he or she survive?” He bombarded me with questions I wasn’t going to answer.“The last time we saw each other I was your prisoner. Do you honestly think that I would tell you anything after the way you treated me? I will, however, if it will make this process quicker, tell you that our s

DanielEverything in me was screaming for me to go with Ava and Kai, but under the circumstances, it was impossible. We both needed time to process what happened, as well as figuring out what it was that we wanted. I suggested that we take a week and meet up at the ice-cream shop at the same time the following week.To keep Ava and my son safe, I let them leave first. I also wanted to send one of my warriors to follow them, and to find out exactly where their pack was situated. The moment I left the store, my father wanted to know what we had decided, and if the baby he saw was mine.“I wouldn’t trust a word that girl said. It is clear that she hid the truth from you. From the start, it was a very real possibility that her pack had planned all of it. And that the so-called mate bond you felt was all fake. What if that pack found a witch to put a spell on you? You know I wouldn’t put anything past them.” I growled at my father, and he took a step back. I couldn’t believe that he was ac

AvaDaniel and I had a week to decide not only our own fates, but also that of our packs, and more importantly, Kai’s. It felt very overwhelming to make a decision that could impact my son’s future so dramatically. How was Kai going to rule two packs that had been in a blood feud for generations?My grandmother entered the room as I was getting Kai ready for the evening. I put him down in his crib when she called me over. I could tell from the look in her eyes that whatever she was about to say was going to be something that I wasn’t going to like.“Nobody wants to push you into a corner, but I feel that this has to be said. You and Daniel might have declared a temporary ceasefire between the packs, but our pack has been without its Alpha since the day your parents died. There is no way they are going to accept the Alpha of our biggest enemy as their ruler. I know that all of this is new to you, but you have to think about what will happen to our people and our family, if you allow th

DanielI could completely understand why Ava didn’t want anything to do with me. I also understood why my pack wasn’t happy about the recent turn of events. That was my problem. I could understand all of their points of view, but nobody was even willing to listen to mine.I had a son. A son, I had only spent a couple of minutes with. I didn’t even know when his birthday was, for goodness’s sake! I also had a son with my destined mate. How could any of them deny me the privilege of having a life with the one person the moon goddess believed was the right person for me?With my mind made up, I called a pack meeting. I informed them of what happened between me and Ava because I didn’t want anyone going rogue. I didn’t want someone from my pack forcing a war. To make sure none of them would be able to do so, I gave an Alpha order to the effect.“You can’t do that son!” My father growled in front of everyone, and it was the last straw. I shifted, not caring how it was going to look, and gl

AvaThis was too big of a decision to make on my own. If it was just me and Kai that I had to worry about, the decision would have been simple, but I also had to think about the safety of my people. I had read everything there was to read about the war between the packs, but something told me that the history books were pretty one-sided.I was sure that if I read Daniel’s pack’s history books, I would see an entirely different picture. Then there was also that mate bond thing my grandmother told me about. Suddenly, I knew that I had found the one little loose thread I needed.My only hope was that I could find a way to unravel whatever this tension was between the two packs. I called them all together in our square, and I was again surprised by the sheer number of pack members. From what I saw while I was Daniel’s prisoner, we outnumbered their pack two to one.“I have called all of you together to remind you of something. Daniel isn’t just Kai’s father. He is also my destined mate.”

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
