Quadruplet Alphas and Their Lost Ice Princess Novel Free

The second we pulled up to the packhouse , I had my eyes on her . She thought she was hiding it well - keeping her expression neutral , her shoulders squared , her hands in her lap like she wasn't gripping the seatbelt with white - knuckled force . But I saw everything . The way her breath hitched the second the towering gothic fortress of the packhouse came into view . The way her blue eyes flicked up , taking in the sprawling stone walls , the sharp archways , and the iron - gated balconies that loomed overhead like something straight out of an old - school horror novel . Yeah .

She liked it . Even if she didn't want to . I knew she had already seen the packhouse as part of the pack , but for some reason , I had never seen her visit despite being Lila's best friend . Not to mention , she was zooted with Adrenaline this morning and nighttime , so I doubt she had a chance to actually appreciate the history of the packhouse . " This is home now , Princess , " Rory murmured , leaning against the car as she hesitated before stepping out . She repeated the word softly , testing it on her tongue like it didn't quite fit . She wasn't convinced yet .

3/7 < Marked Territory Didn't matter . She would be . Claim I stretched my arms above my head , smirking . " Go ahead . Admit it ," I teased . " You're impressed . " She turned and levelled me with a glare . Still , her eyes betrayed her , flicking back toward the massive double doors of the entrance - dark mahogany carved with intricate pack sigils , flanked by stone - carved wolves standing watchful on either side . " Looks like a villain's lair ," she muttered . Rory snorted . " And what does that make you , then ? She huffed , brushing past us with a flick of her silver hair . Fuck .

She was fun . I followed behind , hands in my pockets , grinning like the devil as we stepped inside . The packhouse was exactly what it looked like from the outside - massive , powerful , and built to intimidate . Vaulted ceilings stretched high above us , polished marble floors gleamed under the soft glow of the massive crystal chandelier , and thick iron - wrought banisters twisted up the spiralling staircase leading to the private Alpha quarters .

Sunlight streamed in from the floor - to - ceiling windows , casting long , golden shadows across the aged oak furniture , the ancient tapestries , and the massive stone fireplace that flickered with a low , crackling fire . It was a fortress . It was home . Rhea lingered , taking it all in , her lips parted just slightly - the smallest tell that she was impressed . Then she caught me watching her , and just like that her face shut down , her lips pressing into a tight , stubborn line . " Alright , let's get this over with ," she muttered . I chuckled , bumping her shoulder as I passed .

" Welcome home , snowflake . " She didn't respond . Not verbally . But I saw the way her shoulders stiffened at my words . She felt it , even if she wanted to deny it . Rory's POV : I knew what was coming when we walked through the double doors into our private wing . She wasn't going to let this room situation go . And sure enough- 4/7 < Marked Territory " Can I have a room near Lila ? " Silence . Then , the shift . Jaxon's jaw ticked . Seth's smirk faded . Callum's expression darkened . I sighed . Here we go . " No , " Callum said , flat and final . She crossed her arms , glaring .

" Why not ? " Claim " You're ours , " Jaxon said , stepping into her space , his voice low , heavy , absolute . " You belong here . In our quarters ." Her jaw clenched . " I'd feel more comfortable near her . I don't know anyone here , and it's not like you'll always be around- " Jaxon's laugh cut her off . Dark . Amused . Not the good kind . " You think we'd leave you alone , sunshine ? " His smirk was wicked , his voice laced with something dangerous . " That's cute . " She scowled , but I caught it - her fingers twitched and her breath was slightly unsteady . She was nervous . Good .

" You're staying here ," Callum said firmly . She was going to argue . I saw it coming . And , because I was feeling generous , I stepped in before she pushed too far . " How about this ? " I said , flashing my most charming smile . " Lila and Theo can move into the room next to yours until you've settled in . " She perked up instantly , shoulders relaxing . Lila , of course , would jump at the idea . Theo ? Not so much . But my princess thought she had won something . She hadn't . Not really .

Marked Territory Claim Seth tilted his head , watching her like he was considering something devious . " On one condition . " She groaned . " What now ? " " You stop calling us ' Alpha , ' even if it annoys us , " Callum said , smooth as sin . Her lips parted slightly , brows drawing together . Oh , she knew what he meant . " You heard him , " Jaxon murmured , stepping closer, crowding her . " Call us by our names . " She fought it . Resisted . But in the end , she gave in . " Fine , " she muttered . admin
