The Forsaken Heir's Ascension-Chapter 166: Tangled Bodies: Night in the Igloo

Then she slammed the door shut behind her.Leaving Alex and Selene alone.

Selene turned toward him, fidgeting, her eyes nervously avoiding his."Alex... will you come with me?"

Alex nodded with a calm expression."Yes. I’ll go with you. Don’t worry, Selene."

Selene’s eyes widened, then she rolled them with an exasperated sigh."Do you even know what lovers are?"

Alex tilted his head, confused."Friends like us?"

Selene glared at him."No! Lovers are way closer than that!"

Alex scratched the back of his head, a mischievous grin tugging at his lips."I know what lovers are, Selene. But... are you sure we are the ones?"

Selene narrowed her eyes, crossing her arms."Do you like me?"

Alex nodded."Do you want to spend your life with me?"

Again, he nodded, without hesitation.

Selene smiled warmly."Then that’s it."

She turned on her heel and skipped toward the door with a spring in her step.

Alex followed, a small smile forming on his lips.

Inside his mind...

White Alex, wiping tears with a tissue:"Finally... our boy has grown up."

Black Alex, arms crossed and serious:"He still has a lot to learn."

White Alex rolled his eyes:"Will you shut up and enjoy the fact that we finally get to be with the goddess we’ve loved for so long?"

Meanwhile, in Selene’s mind...

Yes! I finally expressed my feelings!Next step... the kiss.

She smiled giddily, cheeks flushed as she walked ahead.

Meanwhile...

In the silent gloom of his office, the Grand Elder sat rigidly behind his desk.His face was dark with fury, eyes blazing, fists clenched tightly.

SLAM!

The table trembled as he brought his hand down with thunderous force.Through clenched teeth, he growled toward the dark corner of the room,

"Go. Kill that brat... and bring me his head."

The shadows stirred—moving like liquid darkness—then disappeared as if they were never there.Silence reclaimed the room.

Meanwhile...

In the Teleportation Tower, a surge of purple light engulfed Selene, Alex, and Hati—the loyal guardian wolf.

In the next moment, the light faded, and they reappeared inside a familiar teleportation chamber, in a city they both recognized.

Without delay, they moved swiftly toward the fort walls, where Marshal Sebeth greeted them with a grim nod.After a brief exchange, no time wasted—they departed.

Their journey had begun.Toward the heart of Frozen Hell...

The wind howled, and a violent snowstorm raged around them, reducing visibility to nothing.

Selene and Alex moved forward with great difficulty, Hati following silently at their heels.The wind and snow lashed at them, each step a struggle against nature’s fury.But they were on a tight schedule—they couldn’t afford to stop.

Utilizing ice steps, they glided forward faster, making no sound and leaving no tracks behind.This time, they had chosen a different path—one that veered away from the lair of Nerzalia, the black dragon.

Jagged hills and snow-covered mountains lined their route, dotted occasionally with bald, frozen trees that stood like forgotten sentinels in the storm.

Selene, attuned to the cold, barely flinched.But Alex was different.The icy wind cut through him like blades, searing his skin and making his limbs ache with cold.

His black overcoat and fur-lined hat, purchased hurriedly in the outer zone before departure, provided only minimal protection.

As they pressed on, the dim twilight that had offered some visibility vanished.Night fell, and the storm-wracked forest grew even more treacherous.

Selene halted and turned to Alex. Her voice was nearly lost in the roar of the storm."Alex, let’s rest for the night."

He nodded and stepped closer.

With a flick of her finger, a ripple of blue energy flowed into the snow.A moment later, with a low crunching sound, an igloo began to rise—forming piece by piece until a solid dome of ice stood before them.

They crawled through its narrow entrance and into the sheltered calm of its interior.

Selene reached into her spatial ring and pulled out a smooth, hand-sized yellow crystal—its surface polished like glass.The moment she activated it, warm light spread through the igloo, illuminating the icy walls and gently warming the air.

With a sigh of relief, both of them unpacked their black sleeping bags, the sound of fabric brushing against the snow echoing faintly in the confined space.

As they climbed in, the bags crunched slightly beneath them.

Then—zzzzzkkk

Selene zipped hers up completely, vanishing into the dark warmth inside.

Alex pulled out another sleeping bag from his spatial ring, placing it gently for Hati, who padded over and crept inside with a soft huff.

Slowly, the howling winds outside faded into the background.A quiet, peaceful calm settled over the warm little igloo.

Midnight.

The silence was broken only by soft breathing and the distant roar of the storm.

The zipper of Selene’s sleeping bag eased open with a faint sound.Her pale blue eyes peeked out, scanning the igloo.

She spotted Hati, curled up and asleep in his own bag.

Alex lay nearby, the top half of his face visible, his head resting just outside his own sleeping bag.

Selene carefully slipped out of hers, her breath steady but heart racing.

She wore a blue top, cut low and snug, and dolphin shorts that left her pale thighs exposed to the warm light of the glowing crystal.

Quiet as a snowflake, she tiptoed toward Alex and slowly lifted the edge of his sleeping bag.

Alex’s eyes fluttered open slightly, unfocused with sleep.He stirred just enough to make space on his right side.

Without a word, Selene slipped in.She gently pressed her back against him, becoming the little spoon.Reaching behind her, she guided his arm around her waist and pulled it forward—wrapping it around herself like a blanket.

Her heart thundered in her chest.The warmth of his body, the steady rhythm of his breathing, and the soft beat of his heart filled her senses.

A faint smile touched her lips.Thoughts danced through her mind—wild and restless.But wrapped in Alex’s arms, those thoughts slowly faded.She closed her eyes and drifted into a peaceful slumber.

Morning.

As faint light filtered through the translucent igloo walls, Alex’s eyes fluttered open—then snapped wide.

He found Selene sleeping closely against him, both arms wrapped tightly around his trapped hand.He tried gently to pull it free—but the moment he moved, she hugged it tighter, murmuring softly in her sleep.

He stilled, breath catching.That’s when he noticed it—His hand was nestled between the soft, warm mounds of Selene’s chest.

His heart began to pound.Calm down... just relax...

But his body betrayed him.Blood rushed downward.No, no, not now! Go back, little buddy! he screamed mentally.

But his body had a will of its own.Before he could adjust, he felt himself unintentionally press against her lower back—his arousal sliding between the deep, warm cleft formed by her dolphin shorts.

His breath hitched, lips brushing the shell of her ear.Heat radiated off their bodies in the small space, and his heart thundered in his chest.

Selene stirred.Her eyes blinked open—and then widened instantly.She froze, feeling the hard pressure against her hips... Alex’s breath hot against her neck...

A shiver ran down her spine.Her breath caught. Her legs trembled.

For a moment, neither of them moved.Then she squirmed slightly, unintentionally pressing her hips back into him.

Alex inhaled sharply and instinctively pulled her into a tighter embrace.
