All Chapters of The Alpha and the Ice Princess: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Ava“Just hear me out…” I could tell from the look on his face that I probably wasn’t going to like what he had to say, but I still had to listen.“I know you won’t believe me, but I believe if you and I stood together as one, we would be able to save all of our people.” Something sparked in his eyes.“What are you saying?” I believed I knew what he was getting at. I just needed to hear him say it. I had no idea how I was going to respond. I didn’t know what it was that I really wanted. That was the crux of my problem. Did I do what my heart told me to do? Or did I follow what my mind told me was the right thing?“I’m saying that if you and I were official mates, neither of our packs would be able to fight the other. We would force them into a peace agreement.” It was the first time I saw hope in his eyes.“Are you being serious? After the way you treated me, you still expect me to accept you as my mate?” I stood up and was about to leave, when he gripped my arm. In one swift movement

AvaI was shocked by the scene in front of us as soon as we arrived in town. My animal side pushed to take over, and I had to fight with every part of me to keep my human side conscious. All around us, in the streets, the bodies of the people who used to bring life to the town were strewn.The scent of blood was thick in the air, and not a single light was burning. There was no sign of Daniel’s pack, except for their scent that mixed with that of the blood. It was clear that this was a trap, and they were probably hiding in the shadows.It was shocking to see what lengths they went to, to draw us out of hiding. My heart stopped as I found my two best friends, still holding each other’s hands in the middle of the street. As if their lifeless bodies weren’t bad enough, my wolf hearing quickly told me that neither of them had a heartbeat.Before we could even process what was happening, the Blackridge pack attacked. On the one hand, it was a good thing that all the humans were dead. Our

GrandmaDaisy was the only one who ever gave me a hard time. The other ladies were happy with the progress report, and even more so at the prospect that Ava might be destined to be mated with a werewolf. The transition to her life as Alpha of the pack would be a lot easier if her partner was of the same race.I wasn’t surprised, however, to find Ava fast asleep by the time I returned to the hotel. While my darling granddaughter was still young, I tried to push her out into the world a little more, so she could make friends, and at least experience life a little.But Ava was just as stubborn as my son, and the only thing that ever mattered to her was becoming the champ. We were lucky enough that the pack could financially support us while we lived in the human world. I was able to pay for all of Ava’s private lessons, both on and off the ice.Because of this determination, she not only finished high school, but had also made some friends, and was on the verge of achieving her biggest d

AvaIt quickly became clear that nobody in the pack had ever physically met someone who had been reincarnated. If you asked any of them anything about the moon goddess, they could answer you, but they knew nothing about Bastet. This meant when I couldn’t find anything in our library I was forced to do my research on the internet.Of course, I believed every word, because really, it was on the internet, so it had to be true. I rolled my eyes at my own thoughts as I paged through all the myths and legends I could find about the cat woman. I made sure to spend enough time on the ice to also train for the world championships.This time I was not going to let go of my dream so easily. I knew that the moment I got onto the ice at the championships, Daniel would know where to find me, but I hoped I would be able to get away before he did. I knew it was probably just a dream, and that I probably wouldn’t be able to realize it, but I still hoped.“Has there ever been a cat in our pack? Is it e

DanielI promised myself that this was going to be the last time I came to look for Ava. It seemed as though nobody in this town were bothered much about the disappearance of the young woman and her grandmother. Although they all knew exactly who I was talking about, and some of them even proudly stated Ava’s athletic achievements, it seemed they all believed that she was either away training, or perhaps even permanently leaving town.“I wouldn’t blame her, you know.” The old owner of the hardware store frowned so deeply that his toupee almost fell off his head. “That girl has a bright future ahead and our little town would never be enough to give her what she needs when she, becomes the world champion.” He shrugged leaving me feeling desperate.The only place I have not been to yet, because I didn’t think that you would find a top athlete there, was the ice-cream store, but since I needed something sweet to cheer me up, I decided to pop in there before leaving town for the last time.
