Semua Bab ICE: THE OMEGA'S REVENGE SHIFT BOOK 3: Bab 1 - Bab 10

"Why isn't Ada out on the ice with the kids, Patricia?"I didn't mean to let the panic crack my voice, but slamming the heavy wooden door of the den behind me made my knuckles turn white. My chest was burning, my inner wolf pacing the edges of my ribs, scratching to get out."Alpha Ada packed his travel furs and shifted toward Mysticfall before dawn, Collins," Patricia Bennett said, not looking up from the heavy wool blankets she was smoothing over the hearth bench. "He told me you were resting. He explicitly ordered the pack house staff not to disturb your sleep.""He told me he wasn't running back to the main territory until tomorrow morning! Is he that terrified of looking me in the eyes before he slides into Chloe Bennett's bed?""Your eyes look swollen, Collins," Denise Harper muttered from the kitchen archway, her sleeves rolled up to her elbows as she dried a heavy wooden trencher. "Red as a fresh kill on the snow. Did you spend the whole night screaming at the walls while he w

"Are you out of your mind, Tyler?!" Mike barked, his voice bouncing off the concrete walls of the equipment room. "If the Captain was planning to sign a treaty with the Bennett pack, do you honestly think I’d be standing here fixing steel blades? I’d be ripping his jersey to shreds!""Keep your fur on, Dawson," Tyler Dawson muttered, slamming his locker shut with enough force to dent the metal. "How could Ethan Carter just hand the northern ice over to Chloe? He wouldn't even touch that line back when the Bennett family had full control of the division. Now that their franchise is rotting from the inside, he suddenly wants to bind with him? It doesn't make sense!""I don't know the politics behind it, Tyler! Patricia Bennett called me directly from the Skydrivee border cabin. Do you think an old wolf like her lies about a broken mate bond?" Mike shoved Tyler back against the bench, his teeth bared as his inner wolf pushed against his throat. "That traitorous piece of trash. I'm taking

"I think your skates are on the right track," Patricia Bennett said, keeping her voice low as she checked the seals on the equipment trunks. "Don't say those things in front of Collins Parker, though. His wolf shouldn't be triggered while the fever is still clearing from his blood.""I know how to guard a line, Patricia. Thanks for keeping him company in the mountain den. Your own house is still a mess after the arena fire too... Would you call yourselves the unlucky line of the province now?""Shut your mouth, Mike," Patricia said, firing a sharp glare at him as she sharpened a spare runner blade. "Stay with him from now on. I need to go back to the Mysticfall arena.""Weren't you going to further your coaching studies here at the high camp? Why are you suddenly riding back to the central division?""Heh, I'm going back to attend that rogue's ceremonial pairing!" Patricia said, her voice dripping with frost. "Who knows? Maybe I'll get a chance to stand up for Collins on the main ice.

"Who broke the security lock on my terminal?!" Charles Whitaker roared, slamming his heavy leather gloves onto the strategy table. "Who managed to crack my private shortwave log and broadcast the Alpha's blood secret across the entire regional network?!"He frantically deleted the flashing text from the main board, his fingers flying over the keys as he uploaded an emergency explanation to the pack registry:"My satellite feed was breached by a rogue signal. The previous data stream regarding the Carter line was a false transmission. An official inquiry has been submitted to the division guards!"The moment the text was broadcasted, Charles reached for his shortwave radio to call the regional enforcers. But the ice had already cracked too deep. The data metrics had been copied, screenshotted, and pulled down by every junior locker room from the central arena to the mountain borders.Down in the main den of Silvercrest Holdings, Ada Lube stared at his scouting monitor, his gold eyes ti

"The regional elders forced him onto the roster," Tyler Dawson grunted, his boots clicking hard on the locker room floor as he adjusted a heavy equipment bag. "Ada Lube was supposed to take the binding mark from that disfigured runner Chloe Bennett and become the joke of the whole northern division. He spent his early winters at the peak of the league, never knowing what it felt like to have his jersey dragged through the mud.""But what did my wolf ever do to deserve this?" I muttered to the empty stall. The tears had finally run dry, and I had dropped into the furs of my cot until the morning light hit the ice. No dreams came to disturb the sleep. When my boots touched the floorboards at sunrise, my spirit felt steady, even if my eyelids were still swollen from the frost.Today was the morning of Adrian White’s major knee reconstruction at the medical bay.I walked through the steel doors of the arena facility exactly at ten."Are you steady enough to handle the scalpel, Doctor Park
