Warning: Contains Spoilers

36. The spice occurs throughout the chapter. Nahla wakes up in the Frost King’s bed inside and ice-shelter. During intimacy, she notices several similarities between the king and the Beast and comes to the conclusion they are the same person, somehow.

44. The spice occurs throughout the chapter. The Beast takes Nahla for a swim and shows her the underwater library in the old city, where they have sex. During intimacy, the Beast becomes overwhelmed and turns animalistic, consumed by his instincts, and accidentally hurts Nahla with his claws. He takes her to see Lucas.

50. The spice begins halfway through the chapter. After they dance, Aethan places Nahla on his throne, where they share an intimate moment. At the end, Nahla asks Aethan to rescind his rules. She can only ever play queen as long as she’s his prisoner. He agrees to let her go.

63. The spice begins halfway through the chapter. In chapter 63, Nahla finds herself alone on the beach, considering all that has happened. Aethan approaches and they have a heart-to-heart where she says she wished he had let her help him with the Beast, rather than having the healer get rid of him with magic. They reaffirm their love for one another, and physical relations progress from kissing to sex on the beach. The emotional connection of their intimacy unlocks a feeling in Nahla’s mind, and she realizes she can once again sense Aethan’s emotions. This gives her an idea. What if the Beast isn’t gone? What if his identity is trapped inside the king’s center of self, as his mother’s had been? With Aethan’s permission, Nahla uses her magic to shatter the orb, and the Beast’s conscience comes flooding out. Aethan picks her up and walks her into the sea, and as they submerge, she hears the Beast’s voice rumble: Hello, Sunfish.
