“The scenery definitely changed!” Savannah gasped, looking around. She rarely got to see the snow, although it wasn’t her first time.

“I want you to enjoy it, Savvy.” Kai breathed in the frosty air and walked slightly further away from her. The snow was almost to his knees, but it did not bother him. “I bet you haven’t seen anything remotely beautiful back at the West. Not every country is lucky

enough to be blessed with such locations and ….”

“Oh, Kai!” The princess called him in a taunting tone, and he turned to look at her at once. Only to get a huge snowball right in the face.

“We have mountains too, you know.” The girl snickered, preparing the next icy weapon. “Gideon took me there every year.”

“Did he?” the northerner wiped his now red face clean and gave her a menacing gaze. “You love snowballs fights then?”

“What’s not to love?” She laughed and sent another his way, but he managed to dodge this time.

Savannah knew she was in trouble even before his eyes flashed blue, letting her know she managed to annoy them both – the King and his wolf. Squealing, she tried running in the opposite direction when Kai caught up with her and lifted her up in his arms, throwing her over his shoulder.

“It’s good that you like snow, Savvy, very good!” The man chuckled as he slapped her bottom in his usual manner, making her growl at him in defiance. “We have a lot of it for you to enjoy right here!”

She was about to say something snarky when he dropped her into a pile of freezing snow, and she found herself falling down for longer than she expected.

“Kai!” she yelled angrily, trying to find a way out of some frosty cleft. It was probably a little crack in the mountain or something like that, and the damn King used his knowledge of the location to trap her. Snow was everywhere, and the walls around her were covered with slippery ice, making it impossible to get out on her own.

“No worries, my love,” he looked at her from above with a mischievous grin on his face. “Just say that you are sorry, and I am the best lycan in the whole damn world, and I will help you out.”

“Is this how you treat your future wife?” she asked him, still looking how to get out of that little cleft she was stuck in.

“I am teaching you the northern ways.” She heard a low chuckle.

“The northern way s*cks!” she announced, and another laugh emerged from his chest.

“See, now you also have to say that the North is the best place in the world!” He quickly added to her tasks, knowing she wasn’t getting out of there without his help.

But … he was underestimating her.

“Fine, Kai!” She sighed heavily and made a pitiful look on her face. “Get me out of here first!”

“Aha,” he snorted. “Nice try!” “Kai, please,” Savannah whimpered and heard him exhaling in defeat.

“Come here, Sav,” he bent down to his knees and lowered himself to give her a hand, only to receive the biggest snowball of his life in his face again.

Not wasting time, Savannah grew her claws and used them to pierce the ice, working her way up quickly.

She tried to push him into the snow hole she had just come from, but he dodged her attempt with a laugh.

“Oh, it’s war!” she announced to him.

“You started it!” he scoffed, gathering as much snow as he could. They were running around, shooting snowballs at each other. Until Kai got tired of all that. He didn’t touch her for too long, and the need to hold her in his arms again was overwhelming.

He dropped everything he had and strode towards her through piles of snow like a

predator.

She launched one snowball after another at him with precise aiming, but he took them all. It was nothing compared to the desire to have her again.

“What are you ..” She didn’t get to finish her sentence as he grasped her in his arms and made them fall into the snow together, covering her l!ps with his in a possessive k*iss. The cold was biting at their skin, but none of them cared as their bod*ies were heated around each other.

“I miss you already.” he snarled into her mouth as he laced his fingers in her hair.

Savannah really did not mind and was planning to tell him she had enough fresh air for one day. Moreover, the fresh air w as overrated, and they just had to return to the cabin and make love again. It was a must now.

A loud ear-splitting shriek broke her train of thoughts, and Savvy recognised it at once, her whole body j*rking.

“What the.” Kai mumbled, looking up at the sky.

“It’s Zara!” Savannah tried to push the King off her when she heard another loud and distinctive shriek. Kai stood up at once, giving her a hand in the process.

The black hawk was easy to spot even through the falling snow in the sky. She lowered herself, shifting into the woman they both knew before her feet touched the ground.

“Zee,” Savvy was worried, knowing that herfriend wouldn’t bother her for no good reason.

The bird shifter was about to say something when a large cream wolf appeared out of nowhere and knocked her down, face first in the snow.

“My apologies, Kai!” Lachlan turned into his human form, pinning Zara and looking at his King.

“I caught the intruder.”

“That’s hardly an intruder!” Savannah protested. “Let her go!”

“Lan!” Kai gr0@ned, running his palm over his face. “Come on!”

“You just wanted to be on top of me n*ked, didn’t you?” Zara snickered, spitting away the ice from her !ips. “Understandable.”

“And you knew exactly how this would end when you provoked me.” The Beta rose without a shade of embarra*s*sment, demonstrating his toned body to the three of them. Yet only Zara grazed her gaze over him in silent approval.

“Down, boy!” she smirked and turned to face her Princess.

“Zee, what happened?” Savannah knew her bird friend wouldn’t get into this much trouble for no reason.

“Didn’t you feel anything weird lately?” Her friend raised her brow, but when Savvy blinked, not understanding what was going on, she sighed and decided to explain. “Your ma… Alpha Zack Morgan.
