All Chapters of The Alpha and the Ice Princess: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

AvaI SUSPECTED SOMETHING WAS A LITTLE OFF when a strange man tried to sniff me right before I was just about to go onto the ice for my finals, but I was in the zone and had to stay there. I didn’t have time to waste on strange men doing strange things. This was my moment. The one I had been practicing for all my life.The ice was hard under my skates as I made my way to the center of the arena and I held my head high taking my spot. My heart was racing, and I tried to calm myself. The music started and I pushed off. Within seconds, I was pushing my body to its limits as I worked my way through my perfectly-planned-out routine. I finished with a Lutz jump as the beautiful music hit its highest before skating into the center of the ice and taking my bow.I did it. I knew I did the moment I landed my jump so perfectly. My grandmother was there to congratulate me, and we took our seats, so I could wait for the results. When they came through, I had to hold back my excitement. I didn’t wa

DanielIt took some doing to worm my way out of Harper’s grasp for a couple of days, but thanks to my incredibly busy schedule, I could leave our territory. I needed to see her one last time. That was what I promised myself. One last time and then it would be over, and I would set a date with Harper.My spy had given me all the information I needed to plan an accidental meeting with Ava, and I was on my way to see my destined mate for the last time.AvaI had three months between my last skating event and the world championships, and I was going to use my time as effectively as I could. I practiced in the mornings, and treated myself to something relaxing in the afternoons.Grandma and I lived on the edge of a small town with incredible forest covered mountains behind our home. I don’t remember much about where my parents and I lived, but I remember the smell of the forest and grandma’s home made me think of it.My parents died in a freak accident when I was three and all I remember i

DanielSetting a date for my mating ceremony was more difficult than I thought it would be. Forgetting about Ava was even worse. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t. It was beginning to make sense why my father believed what he did, and before I could help myself, I was back in Ava’s town. I promised myself I just wanted one last look, and then I would return to the pack grounds and never return.“Daniel!” Her voice sent shivers of delight down the back of my spine and I whipped around.“Ava …” I gasped. She had caught me off guard completely.“I take it you are here for business again?” She smiled and, in the distance, I noticed her grandmother. She suddenly stopped walking as she saw the two of us.“Yes, one last meeting.” It was the first time in my entire life that I was at a loss for words, but only for a moment. “Would you like to join me for dinner?” The words were out of my mouth before I could stop myself and I smiled.AvaSeeing him again was a huge shock. He had been gon

AvaI had never seen her look so calm. It was scary. She listened and when Daniel was done talking, she got up, took her handbag and left without a word. Grandma knew I wasn’t innocent or anything, but to have made such a huge mistake!“You better get packing. We have to leave.” Daniel stood up, and I was still trying to focus when I realized he said we.“Excuse me?” I jumped out of my seat and was struck by dizziness so fast I had to sit back down. “I’m not going anywhere with you.” I frowned, shaking my head, but the dizziness wouldn’t go away. The next thing I knew, Daniel picked me up and carried me out of the house. No amount of kicking and screaming could get him to stop. He put me into the back of the black SUV. I tried to plead, but his guards wouldn’t even look at me.As we pulled out of the driveway, I wondered if I would ever see my grandmother again. Would I ever see our home again? We drove out of town and the car pulled into the abandoned airport where I noticed the priv

AvaEvening fell and one of the girls from earlier brought me some dinner, but I was still incredibly nauseous. I was surprised to find the nausea medication on the tray together with the prenatal vitamins the doctor prescribed earlier. It felt strange. As though that morning happened years ago, and I was trapped in this nightmare new life. What did Daniel think he was going to do?Keep me and the baby locked away in this room until I die of old age? Since I couldn’t very well see it happening that way, I could only believe that he intended on killing me at some point. I sighed and was looking out the window again, when I noted the wolf. It was a different colour, but I couldn’t be sure. It was very dark outside.When I blinked, it was gone, and I felt a shiver run down the back of my spine. I heard the door unlock and didn’t look to see who brought me what this time.“Ava.” Daniel’s voice sent a shiver down the back of my spine and I turned around to glare at him.“What do you want?
