Chapter 16 A kiss

Author: Claire Wilkins
last update Last Updated: 2024-09-11 14:03:44
Fury raged through my body like a river. My blood boiling at the sight of my mate bruised and battered on the ground. Purple and blue mingling together on her beautiful skin, it made me sick. Who had done this to her?

I gathered Aria into my arms and ran her across campus, not caring who saw. She felt so limp and lifeless it made me sick, it was only the occasional stirring and labored breathing that kept me hopeful. We were at the infirmary in minutes.

“Somebody help me, now!” I demanded of the infirmary and there was a flurry of activity from the nurses as I helped them get her into bed and hooked into an IV. The doctor put an arm on me and I turned to him, the look in my eyes making him a little scared.

“You need to wait outside, I will come get you once we have her stabilized.” I didn’t know what to do, I listened - anything to help my mate recover.

Outline in the linoleum halls I stalked up and down, worry gnawing at my heart. Whoever had done this to Aria would pay. They

  • The Heart Of Ice Alpha   Chapter 17 A wet dream

    We’re back in the infirmary and Atlas’ eyes are dark and lusty as we stare at each other. Tension and electricity fill the air. He leans in and captures my lips, the kiss quickly getting heated. But this time Atlas doesn’t pull away from the kiss. I moan a bit more when his hands move further down. The thin hospital gown provided little cover from his calloused skin. His body moved and was much larger over mine in moments, my hands moved from his lapels to explore the rest of his chest. Our tongues mingled all the while. His hands moved onto my thighs and as they got closer up I hummed into his mouth, encouraging him to go forward. All sense of control was lost to the pull I felt to him. My body burned at the feeling. Alpha Atlas pulled back to look at me, gaze lusty and dark as he watched my reactions. When I gave him a small smile he softened a bit as he teased me. “You’re adorable like this, Aria.” He said roughly and then dipped a finger inside of me. I whined and my eyes screw

  • The Heart Of Ice Alpha   Chapter 18 Go to the North

    “Is everything alright, sweetheart, you look tired?” He asked and I waved off his concern, not wanting to stress him out during the election. We should be talking about my wolf or the north, not how school was going for me. My mom’s look also turned concerned as they awaited my response. I couldn’t bear to tell them about my wolf now, there were more important things to worry about. The north never contacted the south this way, it was odd.“Yes, don’t worry.” I said simply and then continued. “Tell me, why are we going to the north?” My parents looked alleviated and they glanced at each other with so much love in their eyes. It saddened me that I may never have a mate the way I should, with my wolf. “Do you remember the Alpha of the Blood Storm Pack? The one that won’t take any meetings?” He asked and I searched my mind before remembering. My father had mentioned it a few months back at a few dinners. He had hoped, as did the other candidates, that the new Alpha of the north would

    *Aria*My curiosity piqued by the black mask on his face. Why was he wearing a mask?And why did I find his figure so familiar?But as the tall, charming man began to speak, I was not so sure about that, because his voice sounded different from the personI thought he was. “Hello.” He said with his deep, magnetic voice, My father shook hands with him and Alpha Atlas greeted him back with formal pleasantries, as I stood silent not to get in their way. I looked over, seeing Alpha Altas’ Gamma was there too, but he did not talk much, if at all; Valerie, the Beta, took charge of the conversation, her words flowing effortlessly as she spoke to Alpha Rick, leaving me to ponder the significance of their unexpected encounter. It was interesting, to say the least. My father wasted no time questioning Atlas's motives for this meeting, especially considering it was not the most traditional practice for the North."It's not often we are invited by the North," My father said, eyeing Atla

    *Atlas*She couldn't believe her luck, but I thought it was a bit funny. I forced Aria out of her hiding spot and told her everything; Wayne and I knew she’d been eavesdropping in the bathroom the whole time. It had to be the most embarrassing thing she faced in a while, whether she wanted to admit it or not. Of course, I took my time to laugh in her face as she tried to play it off."Aria, sweetheart, I didn't know you were so interested in the affairs of the North," I teased, a playful smirk playing on my lips. I used a tone especially to get under her skin and watched it work. “Specifically, the affairs of the Alpha of Blood Storm.”Aria’s cheeks flushed crimson, her eyes narrowing in irritation. Even though she’d been caught, she was still angry at me for finding her. "I wasn't spying," she tried to protest, her voice tinged with embarrassment and shame. "It was an accident. Your bathroom signs are different from the ones I’m used to."I chuckled at her silly explanatio

  • The Heart Of Ice Alpha   Chapter 21 You are my daughter

    *Aria*We headed to the South after leaving the North by air, I grew silent on the way back home. The driver picked us up in the airport and stopped outside our pack, I got out of the car and walked alongside my father. My mind buzzed with the weight of my heavy thoughts. He loved long walks, even if they were just around the park for two reasons: to see the community, and to smell freshly cut grass.The encounter with Alpha Atlas had been a headache but ultimately prompted me to finally confront my father about the truth I had kept secret for so long. I needed to get it off of my chest. I took a deep breath, bracing myself for the conversation about to unfold. I knew my dad and Alpha Atlas wouldn't cooperate, so I finally mustered the courage to reveal my secret to my father. It was definitely now or never."Dad," I began, my voice trembling slightly. I played with my fingers as I struggled to speak. "There's something I need to tell you."Alpha Rick glanced at me, concern

    *Aria*Wait, how did she know that? Did she look into the birth records in our home ? That can’t be legal. They were in public so the red-haired girl wouldn’t do anything here, especially after last time, but I knew I was in trouble. “I couldn't help but wonder, during our last clash, why wouldn’t you just shift?” Rebecca's voice echoed, her words laced with a sinister undertone as she circled me. My gaze remained fixed on her, my heart pounding in my chest. “Now I understand.” Her lips curled into a predatory smile, her eyes narrowing with a chilling intensity. When my attention focused beyond her I saw Judy. She looked sorry and was holding her elbows, blue eyes shining a bit. Rebecca scoffed at me and then announced to her groupies. “We’re leaving.” They began to walk away, but the red-haired girl cast a final, ominous glance in my direction. “But I’ll be back for you.” Her words hung in the air, a chilling promise that sent a shiver down my spine. I let out a shaky sig

    *Aria*Rebecca eyed me cockily, she wasn’t even in a fighting stance yet - just awaiting my response. I squared my shoulders and put my arms up, eyes fiery. “Come get me then,” I said cooly, and the red-haired girl looked momentarily surprised but it quickly morphed into fury. I completely focused on Rebcca’s movement, I had admit that it had been a long time since last time I fought her with all my almighty, I decided to left all others things behind and did my best, I know she is strong, but I can handle her with my skill and as long as I could deal with her special ability.I could dodge most of her attacks, but she always used it when I was about to dodge it so I was hit every time she used it. But I don’t care, I would give her a lesson this time no matter what it could cost.“Stay still, Aria.” She ordered, and I couldn’t help but obey—my limbs locked in place as Rebecca’s blow hit my shoulder. It fell back with a sickly snap, and I groaned. The ability wore off as qui

    *Atlas*I beamed at my mate proudly. I knew she could do it but I was happy she finally went through with it. “I knew you could do it, I’m so proud of you.” I said to her and she looked like she was fighting a smile, I chuckled at her. “Your mom would be proud to.” She smiled proudly and nodded to herself, glancing down with a blush. I went and grabbed the salve on the table next to Aria, holding it up and looking at her inquisitively. “Want any help with this?” I asked and Aria shook her head. “No, I got it.” She said cooly and I chuckled at her again before grabbing her arm to apply the salve. She tensed under my touch before relaxing into it. “Where else does it hurt?” I asked lowly and she shivered. She shook her head and I noticed the way her eyes followed my hands as they worked. My mate was adorable, trying to deny the way she felt about me. I remembered how she was while in the north. It would be so much more bearable there with her. She could make any place better.

    *Aria*  Altas smiled at the question and gestured for me to come closer to him. Of course, I complied, and my wolf purred in satisfaction at the proximity.  "It's everything that Rebecca's been doing to you for the past year," he whispered, "And I mean everything. Video of your fight when she used her powers to prevent you from moving. The chat where she and Scott planned to kill you and cover their tracks. Not to mention documentation of how Rebecca can control others using her mind. It's all in there. And truthfully, Rebecca is extremely lucky she's only being kicked out of school. If Rebecca were anybody else, she would go to prison for attempted murder!"  "But how?" I asked, stunned and grateful for the help. "I mean, some of these things happened before I even really knew you! I don't understand."  "From the moment we met, I knew you were special," he replied with a shrug. "And it was obvious that Rebecca was bad n

    *Atlas* Seeing Aria's grief-stricken expression broke my heart. I knew what she must be thinking. That I was involved with another woman. And not only that but someone who looked just like her. I felt terrible for putting her through it. I felt even more terrible about the accusations that were no doubt made against her.  I could only pray to the Moon Goddess that Aria would understand and forgive me once she knew the truth.  "Altas, just the man we wanted to see," Principal Higgins said with a tired sigh, gesturing for me to enter the room. Despite his comment, he didn't look excited to lay eyes on me. I guess I could understand his point of view. As far as he was concerned, I was the cause of this whole mess. And he wasn't entirely wrong about that.  "Happy to be of service," I replied in a casual tone that belied my true feelings. I sat down in the wooden chair next to Aria. My love looked so terrified and sad, and I

  • The Heart Of Ice Alpha   Chapter 53: Doppelganger 

    *Aria* I woke up the next morning with my head throbbing. Groaning, I tumbled out of bed and made my way slowly to the coffeemaker, wondering why on earth I'd had so much to drink the previous evening.  While the coffee brewed I shuffled around the kitchen, finding and dry-swallowing two aspirin. I left the bottle out, realizing that Judy would probably need some when she woke up. After a few minutes, I poured the fragrant brew into a cup, added sugar, and took a deep drink.  Once I was better able to function, I cast a glance at the clock next to the table. It read ten o'clock. I realized with no small amount of horror that both Judy and I had slept through battle class, which ran from nine o'clock to ten o'clock.  "What time is it?" Judy asked as she made her way into the kitchen, pausing before the coffee pot to pour herself a mugful. I made a face and pointed to the clock, knowing what her reaction would be.

    A slap rang out in the bar, which quickly fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Judy and Arthur, the hushed whisper of gossip filling the space. I looked around and then made eye contact with the girl Arthur had brought, who quickly looked down with an intense blush on her face. “Shut up, you weasel.” Judy spat out at Arthur and the lanky man seethed, narrowing his eyes at her as they stood face to face. “I am a Jackson, and you will accept my rejection.” The hushed gossiping around the bar got louder and people had formed a circle around the event. Some people had taken out their phones to snap pictures or take videos. Arthur started to look a little worried and his date looked completely mortified at this point. She stepped back and then ran out of the circle. The voices of people got louder, the lanky man groaned out and then slapped his hand on a table. The bar got quiet again. “I’ll accept your rejection…” Arthur started and then got a sinister smile o

    *Aria*I was restless, my leg bouncing under my desk as I tried to stay focused on the history lesson in front of us. The professor droned on and on about the history of the royal packs. I eyed Rebecca looking very proud in the front row and rolled my eyes. It was the third day of not seeing Atlas anywhere on campus and I was on edge. This was the second time this had happened and he had returned before, but after everything we talked about it made me angry that he would disappear now. The class was dismissed and I walked to the lunch hall with Judy in a daze, it was hard to focus on anything but Atlas being gone. The blonde girl was talking about something, another friend of hers it seemed, and I just hummed and nodded along. I was trying to distract myself from the feeling but I couldn’t avoid it; I was sad. All this week I had attempted to keep away from the way I felt by hanging out with Judy, studying whenever I had a free moment, practicing sparring - but it was

    *Atlas*  I eyed my mate with a smirk, I attempted to hold in a laugh at the way she looked. There was a simmering anger in her dark brown eyes and tension in her frown, she was obviously jealous. It wasn’t the same anger and fierceness she showed while fighting. That was very sexy, this was more cute. My mate was adorable when she was trying to act like she was not jealous. Aria shifted on her feet and then looked away with a huff. “I want to keep my distance from you,” Aria said and then looked down with a frown. “Is that actually what you want?” I asked softly and went to put my hand on her cheek, grazing it lightly. She leaned into the touch slightly before looking back up, her eyes getting heated again before she stepped back. I knew deep down this wasn’t what she wanted. Our mate pull was so strong, that it’s almost like I could feel her emotions myself. “Yes, it is,” Aria said firmly, and then her face softened. “It’s… inconvenient for you to be my professor and my ma

    *Aria* I woke up and groaned when my alarm went off the next morning. I'd arrived at the academy late the previous evening, and it felt as if I'd only just gotten to bed. I glanced at my alarm clock, hoping that somehow it had gone off early, leaving me time to get just a bit more sleep. But It was five in the morning, time to get ready to go to class again. I started the coffeemaker in my room, wondering if anything would change now that I had won the championship. I had no idea if Rebecca would leave me alone or not. And what about Arthur? His very public defeat couldn't have made him happy. As I sipped the fragrant brew, I thought about Atlas. His handsome smile. His hands on me, his mouth on my body. The way he always understood me without saying a word. The way he made me feel as if there was nothing I couldn't do. There was no doubt in my mind that he was my true mate, and the thought of it made me smile. However, I frowned as I contemplated the danger inherent in

  • The Heart Of Ice Alpha   Chapter 48: Gourmet Cook

    *Aria* I woke up and sighed in contentment, stretching luxuriously. I sat up, realizing I was alone for the moment, and cast a glance around the room. I was still in Atlas's house, and now I was curious about my surroundings. I hadn't had time to notice them before, and remembering the reasons for my pleasant distraction made me blush. The room was sparsely furnished. While the king-sized bed was massive, not to mention incredibly comfortable with the robin's egg blue, Egyptian cotton sheets, it took up nearly the entirety of the room. The only other furnishings were an ornately carved chest of drawers across from the bed and gilded a full-length mirror mounted on the wall. Both pieces of furniture were decorated in a grapevine motif that matched the headboard and were lovely in their own right. However, it seemed strange that there wasn't anything more personal about my surroundings. It didn't seem as if the room's occupant lived there full-time or for very long. There wer

  • The Heart Of Ice Alpha   Chapter 47: Celebrations

    *Aria* Atlas beckoned to me with a wolfish grin, and I found myself following him into the tiny room. It appeared to be a study. Bookshelves lined the walls, and an ornately carved cherrywood desk stood sentry on the opposite side of the room. That was pretty much all I had the chance to observe, as Atlas shut the door behind us and pushed me against the wall, covering his body with mine. I couldn't think of anything but the feel of his hands on me, his mouth on me. Fire pulsed through my veins as he kissed me again and again. I had never felt this way about anyone before. While of course, I'd had boyfriends, it wasn't anywhere near the same. Atlas made my heart pound in a way that drove all other thoughts completely out of my mind. And it wasn't just physical. Atlas was kind and thoughtful, and somehow understood me without having to explain myself. I hated to admit it, but thoughts of him invaded my mind constantly. No matter what I was doing, I couldn't help thinking
