Novel & Cerita Winter Games Chapter 4

The wind had died down, but the snow still fell, gentle, quiet, like ash drifting from the sky. Most of the pack grounds had gone to sleep, chimneys exhaling lazy smoke trails into the night, the faint golden flicker of firelight dancing behind a few windows. The hush of the storm beyond the wards felt distant, like another world.

I barely knew any of them. Once I reached the door, I threw it open to a storm on the other side. The calmness of the morning had broken. Erupted. Rain poured down in sheets. The wind nearly blew the door shut again. I gritted my teeth and walked out. Clicked the button on the keys so that the Firebird would open. By the time I was inside the car, I was a shivering mess. Wrapped my arms tightly around myself to try and stave off the cold. Nothing worked. Not even turning the ignition and putting on the heater. It was as if my world had been bathed in ice.

Spring’s POV: The cheap wine I had chugged in the kitchen had finally worn off. ​I was dragged from the sleep by a rough sudden motion. ​Someone was shaking me. ​"Wake up," a voice hissed. ​My eyes snapped open. Standing right beside my bed, leaning over me with her hands gripping my uninjured shoulder was Winter. ​I recoiled instantly, scooting backward against the headboard. I gasped, clutching my sling instinctively. ​"What are you doing in my room?"

~Noah~ The pulsating beats echoed through the dimly lit house as Winter unleashed a side of herself I never knew existed. Winter, typically serene and composed, became a force on the dance floor, moving with a magnetic energy that left me both captivated and intrigued. It was a revelation – Winter on the wild side.

SEVEN It hurt me greatly to see Winter in this state. She looked disheveled and beaten. She looked nothing like the cheerful Winter I knew. There was even a large bandage wrapped around her elbow. It was clear she had hurt herself. When she looked out in my direction, I couldn't help speaking to her. I didn't know if she heard me. But I just kept talking. There was something about the way she looked around. Maybe she could sense my presence. Or maybe she was just not acting herself because today was what it was: a tragic day marked by a tragic event.

Three months later Camila I hurried from the bed to the window. “It’s snowing.” “It does that in the winter, beautiful.” A blanket of white coated the world beyond our window as large flakes filtered down from the clouds above. “It makes me think of skiing.” Dante pulled back the blankets and patted the mattress. “It makes me think of cold. Come back to bed and let me warm you.” Doing as he said, I walked back to the bed and crawled under the blankets. With a push of a button on the remote, Dante brought the fireplace to life.

The pain shot straight through her nerves, tears spilling down her face as her body trembled violently. While they were switching places, she gathered what little strength she had left, shoved one of them away, and stumbled to her feet. She ran blindly toward the exit, but her heel caught on the carpet. She fell forward, crashing into a towering champagne display. The glasses shattered with a deafening crash, and the entire room went silent. Red wine and blood mixed on her dress as she lay among the shards. “Miss Winters, is this some kind of pity act?” Susie’s mocking voice cut through the murmurs as she walked over.

This is the AU version of Winter's Mate: Fated On Ice without the werewolf element! And it's book 3 of the Keepers Series—the other couples from books 1 and 2 will definitely make a cameo. I hope you like this book as much as I enjoy writing it :) I've been meaning to write a chaotic FMC, so this is it. *** 1 Rosie “You bloody cheating bastard!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, gripping Mia’s little hand tightly for support as I swallowed hard to hide my sheer nervousness.

She said: "You are waiting." Caela said: "Yes." She said: "For the right room." Caela said: "Yes." She said: "When." Caela said: "Winter." She said: "This winter." Caela said: "Yes." She said: "All right." She picked up the fourth book.

Zeus fucked her endlessly and tirelessly, and all she could do was surrender to his needs. Zeus had been sleeping beside her for a while now when Winter decided to get up. She left the room and went to the barn's balcony. There, she cried silently. She pitied herself. Could she still bear this? Was she always going to be like this? Was she ready to be just a bedwarmer whenever he wanted? Winter shook her head. She couldn't. She couldn't force herself on a man who didn't love her. Even though it hurt, she was ready to distance herself from him. She knew she was a strong and brave woman. She also knew she could endure anything. A plan formed in her mind.
