Ice Cold

Echo was sure to let me know he wasn't the only one that was confused and angry along with being run by protective instincts. 'It's only natural to feel this way after all. Even if it wasn't our mate being attacked.'

Ice caught my attention by placing the lukewarm water on the cut on my chest from the ice dagger the man wielded against us. I winced. "Sorry." Ice said. "It's fine." I told her and Ice nodded as she continued cleaning out the wound before putting the healing paste over it. The one that Andrew's mate Orchid made.

Then she wrapped it up. "This won't heal like your normal wounds. It'll take a bit longer cause of the weapon he used." Ice said. 'That wasn't something I wanted to encounter when we were walking home. Guess the games being played is being put on hold today.' I nodded at that.

My dad and mom were talking with Blizzard on what happened. "Was it laced with silver?" I asked. "No, but it's something your body isn't used to. Something not a single body except Blizzard and I's is used to." Ice said and I nodded at that.

"What happened to my son?" I heard my dad ask. His alpha tone went into it and I could see Blizzard keep his straight face. "This will be hard to explain. It'd be best if we sat down and began talking." Blizzard said and my mom looked at my dad.

'Hopefully he will agree and not keep up that alpha act at home. I appreciate it, but this is the time where dad needs to sit down and listen.' "Come on Jackson." My mom said in a soft tone. And my dad's respect for my mom pulled through and he followed her.

They came into the kitchen. Ice turned to them as she set a hand on top of mine. "Now would you mind explaining." My dad said trying his best to bite off his alpha tone. Blizzard nodded before looking at Ice who nodded at that and let go of my hand.

"We're not human." Blizzard said. 'Well that is one way to put it, but we all knew that for awhile. They don't smell human.' "We know that." My dad said and my mom nodded. My mom looked at me. "What are you?" My mom asked and Blizzard nodded.

"You've never heard of what you are and that I can guarantee you." Blizzard said and they nodded. "We are from a race of snow people. I am a snow shifter, I can shift into various animals that you find in the snow. And it's nothing like your shifting it never hurts and happens in moments," Blizzard started.

'Now I am interested to see how mom and dad will react to this information that they are receiving.' "I don't need to take off my clothes either. Ice is a snowwoman. She's a rare dying race," Blizzard said. I looked at Ice in shock and she turned red.

"She can manipulate ice and snow. The cold doesn't bother her but she has to use cooling agent ice in the heat which is why she has the ice lollipop with her." Blizzard said and my parents nodded. I think everyone of us here were quite stunned.

'So our mate is a dying race. I feel special in a way knowing that she is ours.' I nodded at that. "And the man that attacked Max was a ice assassin. They can forge weapons from ice and those weapons are deadly. When they die they shatter into ice." Blizzard said.

Blizzard ripped the man's throat out and he did crack and explode. Biting my lip I continued to listen. 'This is information that Ice has been holding back, but I have a feeling that there is a reason behind it, a deadly one no less.' So did I. I could feel it.

"If Ice is a dying race why are they trying to killing her?" My mom asked calmly. "I'll get to that in a moment. So the snow species I told you about lives in another realm. Ice and I are from another realm. We used to live there, well Ice not long." Blizzard said.
