Chapter 8

Author: Aetheria
I nearly choked on my soup.

He looked at me calmly, not a trace of mockery in his eyes. He had said it with the same casual, natural tone one would use to remark on how heavily it was snowing.

Not knowing how to respond, I simply lowered my head and continued drinking my soup, my ears burning hot.

The next morning, a bouquet of flowers was left at my door.

Such vibrant flowers could never grow in the Frostlands; Alexander had specifically found them for me.

In the days that followed, I realized

  • Left the Pack, Fated Mate Regrets   Chapter 9

    He stood before the castle gates, covered entirely in snow, resembling a stone statue eroded by wind and frost for a thousand years.I didn't recognize him at first.He had grown far too thin. His collarbones protruded sharply from his open collar, his cheekbones were high, and his eye sockets were sunken so deeply it was as if something had been hollowed out from within.Only his eyes were still Lucien's, yet they no longer belonged to the Lucien I remembered.His gaze in the past had been... confident, resolute, occasionally carrying a hint of condescending amusement, as if there was nothing in this world he couldn't obtain.But the way he looked at me now... was like a drowning man desperately clutching a piece of driftwood, like someone buried alive in the snow frantically digging upward."Sylvia..." He called my name, his voice as hoarse as sandpaper grinding against bone. "I've come to take you home."I stopped in my tracks, standing three paces away.Snow fell densely between h

Aside from handling pack affairs, he spent his time practicing with his sword in the snow or sitting alone on an ice peak, watching the moon.One day, unable to hold it in any longer, I asked him, "Aren't you afraid I'll run away?"He turned his head to look at me, a faint, barely-there smile touching his ice-blue

    (Sylvia’s POV)The snow in the Frostlands was heavier than I had imagined.Wrapped in a thick fur cloak, I curled up in the corner of the carriage, my teeth chattering uncontrollably. My escort had turned back three days ago; the rest of the journey, I had to face alone.The further north we traveled, the stronger the scent of blood in the air.I had long heard of the Snow Wolf pack' brutality, but seeing them in person confirmed that the rumors were entirely true.Three massive, silver-white wolves swooped down from a snowy ridge, completely surrounding the carriage. They were a full size larger than any wolves I had ever seen, their fangs bared, emitting low, threatening growls from their throats.I remembered Selina's curse:?"I hear the Alpha of the Snow Wolf pack is an expert at torture..."My heart hammered wildly against my ribs.But I knew I couldn't back down.I pushed aside the carriage curtain and stepped down slowly.The north wind whipped snow pellets against my face, sting

    I stood up, my footsteps clumsy and unsteady as I crossed the corridor, stopping right outside the Alpha's council chamber.The door was open. The Alpha had his back to me. Hearing my footsteps, he didn't turn around."What are you doing here? Now that she's gone, you finally realize what you had?"I clenched my fists until my knuckles turned white. "I am going to the Northern Frostlands. I am going to bring her back."The Alpha turned around, his face etched with profound disappointment and fury."It's too late. She has already bonded with the Alpha of the Snow Wolf pack."His voice wasn't loud, but it struck me harder than any roar ever could."The Snow Wolf pack are fiercely possessive. If you go there, you might not even get to see her bones."I stood rooted to the spot, utterly speechless.The Alpha walked over and placed a heavy hand on my shoulder, the force nearly pressing me to my knees."You failed her for ten years, Lucien. What do you have to offer to bring her back?""My l

    (Lucien’s POV)How could it be her?I felt my heartbeat skip a chaotic beat in that instant.The lingering sensation of lifting the veil still remained in my palm.The bride before me had collapsed onto the floor, tilting up a pure, beautiful face. It was Selina."Lucien, I came in my sister's place willingly... She said she hates you, and she never wants to see you again..."What did she say?My wolf slammed violently against my chest, a pain so severe I could barely stand."Where is she?" I stared at Selina, my voice trembling involuntarily.Selina's lips twitched. Her gaze darted away for a fraction of a second before she whispered, "She... she left early this morning... for the Frostlands. She said she had finally come to her senses and didn't want me to suffer anymore.""Come to her senses?" Doubt gnawed at my mind.Knowing Sylvia's temper, she would absolutely never take Selina's place in the Frostlands."Yes, she said she never wants to see you again..."It felt as though all th

    Before I could finish my sentence, everything went black, and I completely lost consciousness.When I woke up again, it was already the next day. The maid taking care of me informed me that Lucien had been standing guard outside the door the entire time, but I didn't want to see him.I asked the maid to pass on a message to him: to go back.I spent a long time in my room, digging out every gift he had given me since we were children.We had been betrothed at a very young age. We were fated mates, the most important people in each other's lives.He would carefully select gifts for my birthday every year and take me to play in the forest.Until one day, Selina joined our games.At some point, the gifts he chose were no longer to my liking.Selina would pick first, leaving whatever was left for me. Sometimes, she left nothing at all.What started as necklaces and rings eventually devolved into grass ropes and stones...Yet, I had cherished every single gift, treasuring them as our unique
