All Chapters of Whispers of Frost and Fire: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 42: The TalkThe next morning, I found myself standing in front of the packhouse.Now, mind you, I had never actually been here before—for some reason, I had avoided it. Maybe because it felt too official, too much like stepping deeper into a life I wasn’t sure I belonged to.The building was stunning. It was crafted from metal and glass, yet it somehow looked like a cabin, blending rustic charm with modern luxury. It was the perfect marriage of old and new, like everything in this pack—like Alpha Rhett himself.I hesitated at the massive doors.Do I knock? Ring the bell? Do werewolves even use doorbells?Before I could decide

I woke up to the warmth of a body beside me. The most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on—my mate. Shanika.She smelled like summer and strawberries, a scent that had become intoxicatingly familiar. I brushed a strand of hair away from her face and pressed a soft kiss to her shoulder, trailing my lips down the delicate curve of her neck. She stirred, letting out a sleepy hum, her body instinctively responding to my touch.Everything about her was mesmerizing. The way her breath hitched, the way her skin flushed under my lips—she was perfect. I started with small kisses on her neck and trailed it down the vale of her round, firm breast. I stopped to tease them a little; a lick and two, they immediately responded. I continued my way down to the prize. Her blue satin panties removed slowly with my teeth. Finally, the breakfast I was looking for. She was in a semi-awake state, still drunk with sleep. She shifted beneath me, her eyes fluttering open, a lazy smile spreading across her

Rhett’s POV“Alpha, the training for Aurelia begins tonight,” Brandon said, his voice measured but firm.“Okay, sounds fun. So what does she have to do? Meditate?” I asked, only half-interested—until I saw the way his expression darkened.“You could say that... but it’s a bit more involved since she has to drown first.”“Excuse me?” I shot up from my chair, rage instantly curling hot in my gut. “What the hell did you just say?”“She has to go into the lake, submerge herself in the moon’s reflection, and stay under until she passes out. Amanda will be there to pull her out, and I’ll be standing by with emergency equipment, but—”A growl ripped from my throat before he could finish. My wolf surged to the surface, barely restrained, my nails elongating slightly as anger pulsed through me.“She cannot be drowned,” I snarled. “That’s insanity. How the hell is Amanda okay with this?”“She’s not,” Brandon admitted. “She’s tried to stop it, but Aurelia won’t back down. You know how she is.”I

Aurelia’s POVI woke up from another restless sleep. It felt like peace had become a luxury I couldn’t afford. My dreams were flooded with strange visions—snow-covered landscapes, whispers about power, destiny, and companionship. They weren’t nightmares exactly, but they left me shaken all the same.Ever since that night—when my powers descended—I’d felt… different. Stronger. More alert. But also off. Like my own skin didn’t quite fit anymore.It was always hot now. It was summer in Alaska, but technically it never got really hot. But I felt like I was burning from the inside, like I was standing in the Arizona desert again. Even worse, everything felt tight, like my clothes were shrinking around me. All I wanted was to tear them off and run into the wind.“Good morning, sleepyheads!” my mom chirped as she passed our room, already dressed for the day. Ares groaned beside me. It was time for training. Again.“Can I skip just one day?” I muttered.“Nope,” she replied with a smile. “Even

Aury’s POVHere I am yet again—injured. I’m beginning to think I do need a babysitter. My brother was doing such a great job. He got his wolf, and nobody died during today’s attack. But realizing I’m the target? That was a rough pill to swallow.I could feel energy coursing through me, but I couldn’t get it out. I guess I need my wolf for that. But where is my wolf? Why won’t she come out?“Aury, dinner is ready. Come down,” I heard Mom call.When I arrived at the table, my big bro was
