Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player.
Cassie Monroe wants nothing more than to survive college, graduate as a medical student and prove to her aunt that she's not the monster everyone claimed she is. But all of that shatters the night she saves her best friend's brother and secret crush on ice, only to spark something terrifying and impossible.
Knox Black, captain of Bridgestone’s Icefang hockey team and heir to the Blackwood pack, has spent years searching for the mate who can save his cursed wolf. He never expects her to be human. Claiming her will cost her life. Rejecting her is killing him.
Cassie doesn't know that werewolves exist and doesn't understand why Knox glares at her with hatred one moment, then protects her with deadly ferocity the next. But the more she tries to stay away from him, the more fate pulls her back into his world and dark family secrets that can destroy them both.
This story is a heart-pounding college romance full of forbidden passion, fated mates, betrayal and a love strong enough to defy fate itself.

Chapter: Chapter Twenty Knox's POV For a heartbeat, my blood runs cold, disbelief locking me in place as I stay frozen. Then pure boiling rage blasts through me.My fingers curl into tight fists until my nails bite my palms. Adrian Voss! The captain of the Bluefang team, my hockey rival. I didn't know he was from the Blue Crest Pack. All I know about him is that he is the future Alpha of his pack. “It's Adrian,” I finally whisper to Maverick. His eyes widen in shock. “The Bluefang captain?” I bob my head in response, my lips unable to form any words because of the fury coursing through my veins. Adrian had dared to attack my mate and even flirted with her. I should have known that he is up to something when I suddenly see him around Cassie during gym class. How dare he? Maverick snaps out curses that my ears can't pick. My mind is too consumed to hear whatever he's saying. My legs move on their own accord towards the door and that's when Maverick stops me. In a flash, he is already in front of me

Chapter: Chapter NineteenKnox's POV After practice, I go home straight with Maverick without answering his question about me meeting with Cassie. He doesn't ask again either. He knows when I'm ignoring things and when I'm not. “Ronan has something up his sleeves,” Maverick mutters as we both slump on the couch. “I know he does. Someone told Alpha Warren that I'm seeing a human girl also.” His gaze snaps towards my direction, shock and something else I can't place clouds his features. “Alpha Warren knows Cassie is your mate already?” He asks, his tone shaky as if he already knows what's coming next. I shake my head. “He doesn't know the human girl is Cassie and she's my fated mate. He was only told I'm seeing a human. And that screams only Lizzy's name.” His throat bobbles up and down as he swallows hard. “Lizzy doesn't know she's your mate, that's a good thing,” he says, his tone uncertain. “Yet. She's been digging and it's just a matter of time before she finds out,” I grit out, my fingers digging d

Chapter: Chapter Eighteen Cassie's POV The line goes dead before I can say a word. Every part of my body trembles involuntarily on the bed. I grit my teeth so hard that I hear a crack. “I'm not a monster,” I yell, my voice trembling with unshed tears. Even the words sound hollow. I slam my phone to the wall, because saying nothing hurts worse than breaking it. How can she believe I'm a monster even after three years? How long more do I need to listen to her call me that before she knows the truth? How can I prove the truth to her that I am not the killer of my parents and I have no memories of the incident? The questions reel in my mind, cutting sharper than any knife. My heart bleeds like an open wound at every memory flashing in my mind. How my aunt had looked at me with so much hatred in her eyes and called me a monster who killed her own parents. And how she'd said I didn't belong in her world and would rather ship me off to Bridgestone College which she did three years ago. Those memories were

Chapter: Chapter Seventeen Cassie's POV I stagger backwards, my heart almost jumping out of my chest as I watch Knox leave the medical lab. Did he… did I… did we just kiss? My cheeks burn red and my hand flies to my mouth as if I can press the memory back in. However, when I remember he has just stolen my first-ever kiss and is now acting like the playboy he really is, my stomach twists with shame. My chest burns with pure rage. What the hell? He’d tricked me into coming here only to kiss me first and then tell me I can't think with my head but my glasses? That I'm not smart in anything other than books? His words cut deeper than any blade. My eyes burn with tears, my heart aches deeply. I swallow a hot, bitter rush of something that tastes like fury and humiliation and hold it there until my ribs crack. I should have just ignored the text when I saw it. I should have listened to the part of me that asked me to stay back earlier instead of coming here, just because I think I will find answers to some illo

Chapter: Chapter Sixteen Knox's POV My legs don't move, they are rooted on the spot. My heart pounds heavily in my chest at my father's words. He knows. How? Who's watching me? I whirl around fast, my eyes darting around every corner in the school area, searching for someone, any potential spy my father might have sent to watch me. I can hear the roar of my pulse in my ears. Then my wolf growls in my head.Cassie! I'd left her alone in the lab. My legs act faster than my brain, moving back towards the lab. The phone is still pressed to my ear, the call still connected. “Seeing a human girl instead of finding your mate? Unbelievable?” My father's voice reaches my ears again. “You might think you have more time, but you don't. Find your mate before the time given to you and I won't touch whoever you are seeing. Fail me and you will watch everything you love burn.” The call drops after his words. For a second, I just stand there, the phone burning in my palm. Alpha Warren doesn't know her name, and he do

Chapter: Chapter Fifteen Knox's POV I am kissing her, the one human I should stay away from. But I can't hold back any longer. Restraint has its limits and mine has just snapped. Nyx is on the edge of losing control, and for once, I let myself give in. Just this once. Since I can't meet with Cassie in the open, I had to lure her here with a message from a number she wouldn't recognise. I knew she would come because she'd been looking for answers. Maya informs me about how curious she'd been about how her wound vanished. It's still a mystery to me, because it doesn't make any sense. No ordinary human should heal like that. Even a werewolf who's not from the Alpha's blood wouldn't heal at such an impossible pace. There are still a lot of things I need to find out about Cassie, but for now, I should protect her and deal with my father's ultimatum. I'd been showing up everywhere around her in the past few days. When Lizzy tried to pick up on her, Adrian tried to flirt with her. I was there, watc

Ex-husband, I'm No Longer Your Substitute
For three years, I played the role of a dutiful wife to my husband, Williams, until I found out I was just a mere substitute for his first love— the woman he truly loved.
When she returned, he threw divorce papers at me as if I meant nothing. And when I refused to sign them, I was forced to donate my blood to his precious mistress, causing me to lose a child I never even knew I was carrying.
Shattered and broken, I walked away with one purpose— avenging the death of my unborn child.
He realised his mistake, but it was too late. I was no longer his substitute, but a future he'll never touch.
“You were right, Williams. I was a substitute you never deserved.”

Chapter: Chapter Eighteen Derek's POV Rage blasted through me the moment Anderson mentioned my mother's locket. He knew how important it was to me. That was the only piece I had of my mother and I'd been searching for it for years, not knowing Anderson had it. And now? He was trying to use it to negotiate with me. I'd suspected that Anderson would negotiate, but not in this way. A smug smile tugged at the corners of my lips, masking the storm brewing within me. “You do know how to twist the knife, Anderson,” I said, smiling as though his words had no effect on me. The locket wasn't just jewellery. It carried a message that could shatter both my mother's legacy and the Lancasters' in it. However, it had a passcode that no one except a member of my mother's family knew. If Anderson had the locket, I couldn't trust him not to get the passcode. “That's why I'm still your father,” Anderson smirked at me. He was enjoying this so much, thinking he'd gotten me already. “What do you say, son?” He asked confident

Chapter: Chapter Seventeen Ava's POV The air in the dining room shifted the moment Derek and I stepped in, his hand wrapped tightly around my waist. Heads turned, eyes widened, and mouths hung open in shock and disbelief. Williams, Mr. Anderson, Olivia, Wendy— Williams' mother. They all looked like they had seen a ghost.The silence that followed my appearance with Derek in the dining room was a vacuum. I curved my lips into a triumphant smile, even though my heart threatened to burst out of my chest. This family! I hated every member of it. I don't want to be around them. They were nothing but predators who looked for prey to feed on. William's face twisted with shock, rage and something else I couldn't quite place. Mr. Anderson’s shock was quickly masked with a blank expression. Typical of him. He was always like that— masking his expression. And Wendy? Her face became pale as if she was going to combust under the weight of her anger. Olivia’s face was a mixture of confusion, fury and shock. Perfect!

Chapter: Chapter Sixteen Ava's POV Three days later. I was getting ready for the family dinner Derek had spoken about three days ago, and I couldn't stop the nervousness creeping in. No one knew about my marriage to Derek yet. The video I'd posted on my page three days ago was still flying around, almost driving the public crazy as they kept inquiring about who I got married to. “We can stay back if you don't want to go,” Derek's voice cut through my haze of thoughts. He must have noticed how my fingers keep trembling around the strap of my heels. I had the feeling that this so-called family dinner wouldn't end well. I know what I had with Derek was just a contract marriage, but it still didn't change the fact that none of his family knew about me and our marriage. Who gets married without their families these days? My chest heaved as I inhaled deeply and sighed. I tilted my head up to meet his gaze, a small smile stretching on my lips. “It's all right. We should go,” my tone was soft and barely abov

Chapter: Chapter Fifteen Ava's POV The drive to Derek's villa was silent, though I couldn't stop thinking about his words earlier. A family dinner? I wasn't sure I was ready for that. But when he asked me, I couldn't turn him down for some unknown reason. I let out a long sigh and he glanced at me, his jaw tight. “I'm okay,” I said in a rush, shaking my head while my hands shot up in weak protest. A flicker of something unreadable crossed his features before he turned his gaze back to the road. My mind began to spiral with different thoughts, second-guessing my decision and doubting if I was doing the right thing. But I quickly pushed down every thought as the car moved into a huge estate. My breath caught as the tall gates opened to a wide driveway that curved like something out of a movie. When the car finally rolled to a stop and the door was opened for me to step out, my mouth parted in awe. The mansion before me was massive and breathtaking. It had wide glass windows that caught

Chapter: Chapter Fourteen Derek’s POV My assistant, Karen, had found out the anonymous poster was no one but Olivia. Olivia Thompson! My first instinct was to call her parents. I was going to ask them to keep their daughter on a leash before I made her regret ever setting foot back in Miami. But Ava had handled things in a way I'd not expected, surprising me. No petty forth and back talks, just a perfectly aimed strike. The video she posted online was now trending with people asking her who the lucky man was. No captions or explanations. Just a video of her showing off her diamond ring— revenge without a single word. My lips curled slowly into a sinister smirk as I lounged back on the couch, one leg crossed over the other, my fingers scrolling through the flood of comments. The public had forgotten they had dragged her name through the mud a few hours ago. Now, they were curious and dying to know what was happening in her life and who had put that ring on her finger.Perfect! I loved that Ava had a way

Chapter: Chapter Thirteen Ava's POV “Are you sure it's a good idea?” Freya asked me for the umpteenth time, her brows drawn together in that way that told me she was dying to snatch my phone away from me. I nodded. “Of course, it is,” I let out a soft smile as my thumb hovered over the post button of the video I had made. With a tap, the video went live on my social media page. Since everyone now believed I married Williams for his money— one he never had when I met him. Then, I won't try to convince them or rewrite the truth for them to see. Let them think whatever they want and choke on it. News of my marriage to Derek Lancaster would be out sooner or later. I could just drop a spark now and let them burn with curiosity. So they'd know I had nothing to hide and no matter how hurtful their opinions are, I don't care anymore. I've stopped caring about what others think of me the moment Williams and his mistress tried to drag me through the mud. My silence wasn't a weakness. It was a strategy. A proud s
