Skating on Thin Ice
Jeffery Vale has spent his entire life hidden behind his perfect twin brother, Lucien—the future alpha of the powerful Moonfang Pack and the star of their elite hockey team. But when Lucien is suddenly injured before the national championship, Jeffery is forced to take his place, stepping into a dangerous world of fame, rivalry, and secrets that were never meant to be uncovered.
Everything changes when Roland Hayes, the Ruthless alpha captain of rival Northfang Pack sees through Jeffery’s disguise immediately. Instead of exposing him, Roland keeps quiet and drags Jeffery into a brutal rivalry filled with obsession, forbidden attraction, and a connection that neither of them can escape.
After a violent scandal on the ice threatens both their careers, they are forced into a fake relationship for the public. Still, as buried truths about Lucien’s accident and an ancient prophecy begin to surface, Jeffery realises he was never the weak twin everyone believed he was—he was the one they feared all along.

Chapter: Chapter 7: The ContractThe office felt like an actual freezer. I sat rigidly in the heavy leather chair, trying my hardest not to shiver. The sponsors standing in front of us looked like they wanted to wring our necks. They wore expensive suits that smelled like sharp cologne and pure anger.“Three months,” the lead sponsor barked, his voice firm and completely empty of sympathy. “You two need to work together as a couple. Lovers. Until the European Championships are over. If there’s one single fight, or one more leaked video of you two trying to kill each other in the locker room, you’re both off the team. No exceptions.”My stomach clenched painfully, twisting into a knot. I glanced sideways at Roland, secretly hoping he’d argue. He was the great Alpha—untouchable, proud, and the arrogant captain of the rival Northfang pack. Surely someone with his pride wouldn’t agree to this humiliating fake romance. But Roland just leaned back against the wood-paneled wall, arms crossed over his broad chest, wearing

Chapter: chapter six : **The Leverage**Jeffery’s fist accidentally hit the locker door before he could stop himself, the loud thud echoing down the empty hallway like a gunshot. “You think this is a game?” he snapped, turning sharply on Roland so quickly that his skates nearly slipped on the rubber mat.Roland’s smirk remained steady. Standing there in just his compression shorts, arms crossed over that exaggerated chest, he seemed like he’d been waiting all day for this moment. “It stopped being a game the second you put on your brother’s jersey, little omega. Now it’s about leverage.”Jeffery’s blood ran cold as he asked, “What did you just say?” Roland leaned in, his voice soft yet threatening, sending a shiver down Jeffery’s spine. “Just one word from me to the league, and I can destroy everything—your fake identity, impersonating a drafted player, your chances with the team—everything. Your pack could be finished, with sponsorships pulled and your father’s legacy tainted, all because you couldn’t let Lucien go.” The w

Chapter: chapter fiveJeffery stood frozen in the dim concrete hallway, back pressed against the cold wall as if it could somehow save him. The silence pressed down on him, thick and heavy. His pulse hammered so fiercely that he could feel it in his teeth. Every part of him screamed to run, but his legs refused to move.Roland didn’t rush. He never did. He moved as if he owned the entire arena, as if the shadows themselves bent for him. When he finally stopped, he was close enough that Jeffery could smell pine, frozen lake water, and that deeper scent beneath — wild, ancient, and terrifyingly good.“You’re a terrible liar,” Roland said, Jeffery tried to hide his emotions.Jeffery swallowed hard. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Roland’s lips curled into a slow, dangerous smirk. He studied Jeffery’s face the way a wolf watches a rabbit that suddenly appears... interesting. His gloved hand rose, tilting Jeffery’s chin with one finger. Their eyes locked.“The pack thinks you’re Lucien,” Roland wh

Chapter: Chapter 4: The EncounterJeffery hated every second of this new life.He hated waking up early for interviews he did not care about. He hated people staring at him everywhere he went like he belonged to them now. He hated the cameras outside Northcrest Academy and the way students suddenly moved aside whenever he walked past.Most of all, he hated pretending to be someone else every minute of the day.It had only been six days.Six days since Lucien’s accident.Six days since Dominic decided Jeffery’s life no longer mattered.And already Jeffery felt exhausted.He missed Blackthorne Academy more than he expected.He missed sitting with Anna and Maxwell during lunch while they argued over stupid things. He missed Ella stealing fries from everybody’s plate. He even missed Alex acting like an old man trapped inside a teenager’s body.That life had been simple.Quiet.Nobody looked at him twice there.Nobody expected him to carry an entire pack on his back.His phone vibrated while he sat alone in No

Chapter: Chapter 3: Stepping InJeffery lingered a bit longer than he probably should in front of the mirror, gazing at his reflection that felt unfamiliar. His black hair replaced his usual silver, and Lucien’s face looked back at him instead of his own thoughts. It was as if a life not meant for him was staring back. He gently adjusted the collar of his Northcrest Academy uniform again, even though it sat perfectly—something that made him feel like he had a tiny bit of control. From the hallway, Dominic’s voice called through the door, saying simply, “Time.” That one word always sounded so final to Jeffery. With a deep breath, he opened the door and stepped out. Dominic’s gaze was steady and without emotion. “You understand what’s at stake,” he said. Jeffery nodded in response, “The pack.” “And the championship.” Jeffery shrugged lightly, “Same to you.” That earned him a brief, unreadable look from Dominic. Not wanting the silence to stretch awkwardly, Jeffery turned away. He’d learned early on that waiting for Do

Chapter: Chapter 2: The CrashJeffery could sense something was off the moment his father called. Alpha Dominic never reached out first, unless it was something urgent or tragic. When the call came through with just a command to Come home immediately, it sent a quake of unease through him. The line cut out before he could ask questions, leaving him staring at his phone in disbelief. Across the cafeteria, Anna looked worried. “What happened?” she asked. Jeffery hurriedly slipped his phone into his pocket, trying to keep calm. “I have to go,” he said, his voice steady but his mind racing. “That Serious?” Anna pressed. Jeffery hesitated. “I don’t know,” he finally admitted, but deep down, he knew something was wrong. That uneasy feeling clung to him all the way home, making the drive feel longer than ever. By the time the Moonfang gates appeared, his hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that his nails dug into his palms. The black SUVs lining the front of the manor only confirmed his fears.************Pack

Chapter: chapter hundred and twenty The night was very quiet the kind of quiet that feels full, not empty. Outside, the lake shimmered beneath a low-hanging moon, the water mirroring a thousand stars scattered across the sky. Adrian sat on the porch of the lake house, a glass of whiskey in his hand, watching the soft ripples move across the surface. He was older now not by much in years, but in heart, in mind, in the places that truly counted. Inside, he could hear faint laughter at the hallway Gabriel and Elias talking over the phone, catching up about college life, their voices warm and familiar. The sound made him smile. For a moment, he just sat there, taking it all in the peace, the quiet hum of night, the soft rustle of pine trees whispering against the wind. He remembered when silence used to terrify him. When it was a reminder of loss, of loneliness, of ghosts that refused to leave. But now, silence was comfort. It was home. He swirled the whiskey slowly, his gaze distant, thoughts drifting like the water

Chapter: chapter hundred and nineteen The mansion felt quieter than it ever had before. Not just the kind of quiet that came after a long day, but the heavy, echoing stillness of absence the kind that settles in your bones when someone you love isn’t there anymore. Elias had been gone for only two weeks, yet it already felt like months. His laughter that deep, easy sound that used to echo through the hallways was gone. No more teasing about Adrian and Gabriel’s “gross displays of affection,” no more late-night snacks raided from the fridge, no more soft piano tunes drifting from the music room. Adrian sat by the window in his study, watching the first snowflakes fall. They came down in slow spirals, quiet and gentle, blanketing the garden outside. His reflection stared back at him from the glass older now, a little softer around the edges. He smiled faintly to himself, though it didn’t quite reach his eyes. Gabriel appeared in the doorway a few minutes later, wearing one of Adrian’s old sweaters and holding two mugs

Chapter: chapter hundred and Eighteen The night was warm, one of those evenings that smelled faintly of rain and jasmine drifting in through the open windows of the Knight mansion. The dinner table was still cluttered with half-empty wine glasses and the remnants of dessert Gabriel’s homemade chocolate torte that had everyone groaning in satisfaction. Adrian leaned back in his chair, watching Elias laugh at something Gabriel said. His son had grown so much taller, more confident, with that same spark of charm Gabriel had. There was something in his eyes that reminded Adrian of his younger self — curious, hungry for life, but gentler, shaped by love instead of ambition. As the laughter faded, Elias’s tone shifted. He looked between his fathers, his fingers nervously tracing the rim of his glass. “There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you both.” Adrian straightened slightly. “You’re not in trouble, are you?” he teased, trying to lighten the sudden weight in the air..cause it felt so emotional... Elias chuckled

Chapter: chapter hundred and seventeen Everything seemed to fall perfectly into place, as if the universe itself had finally decided to reward Adrian and Gabriel for surviving the storms that once tore them apart.Life wasn’t a fairytale it was better. It was real, grounded, and full of those quiet, ordinary miracles that made every day feel like a gift.At Knight Enterprises, the halls once filled with tension and corporate chaos now carried a calm hum of productivity and creativity. Adrian had rebuilt not just the company’s reputation, but its soul. The sustainability division he’d launched months ago was thriving — attracting global partners who admired the integrity behind his vision.The morning light streamed through the tall glass windows of his office, catching the edges of the framed photo on his desk — Gabriel and Elias, laughing at the lake house. It reminded him what he was working for. Not status. Not power. But legacy one built on love, honesty, and the kind of leadership that lifted people instead of brea

Chapter: chapter hundred and sixteen Weeks after Adrian and Gabriel got back from their “lovecation,” as Elias teasingly called it, life began to fall into a new rhythm one that felt freer, lighter, and beautifully ordinary in all the ways it hadn’t been before.The lake house, which once stood as a quiet sanctuary, now hummed with laughter and warmth. It had become a living, breathing space—a home that welcomed not just them but everyone they loved. The long wooden deck overlooked the still water, framed by tall pines that swayed softly with the wind. And inside, the scent of coffee and cinnamon rolls often mingled with music from the old record player Gabriel loved too much to replace.Adrian had this habit now standing by the large window near the fireplace, mug in hand, just watching the reflection of light dance across the lake. Some mornings, Gabriel would walk up behind him, arms sliding around his waist, chin resting on his shoulder.“Thinking again?” Gabriel would whisper, a hint of a smile in his tone.Adrian w

KISS ME BEFORE YOU KILL ME: The Assassin and the Hybrid heir
Marcus Blackwood was sent to kill me.
He was supposed to get close, earn my trust, and end my life before I ever discovered what I truly am.
But neither of us expected the bond, it happened so fast.
At thirty, I thought I had everything, being the CEO of my family’s billion-dollar empire, flawless reputation, a future perfectly mapped out. The world saw a brilliant businessman.
They didn’t see the nightmares, the struggles for being lonely and sex starved. Keeping the facade of being a perfect son and a perfect CEO.
The woman drenched with blood calling my name. The wolves howling beneath a crimson moon.
I was never meant to live in the human world.
I am the forbidden son of a vampire princess and a werewolf beta,the hidden heir whose birth once nearly destroyed both clans. A living prophecy powerful enough to reignite a war buried in blood.
And Marcus?
He was raised by the Vampire Elders to obey without question.
His mission is simple:
Find me.
Understand me, and kill me.
But the closer he gets, the more dangerous everything becomes.
Because he doesn’t look at me like a target.
He looks at me like I belong to him.
And when enemies begin to crave each other, when assassins hesitate, when fate binds two men who should never touch…
War is no longer the greatest threat, but love is.....
And if he has to choose between his orders and my life
I don’t know if he’ll kiss me…
Or finish the job.

Chapter: sixty nineNoah POV The click sliced through the warehouse like a knife. Everything froze. My heart pounded against my ribs so hard I thought it might break. Richard’s head snapped up, eyes wild as he scanned the dark rafters. Kael’s silver eyes narrowed into slits. Somewhere in the shadows, hidden wolves growled softly, but neither of them moved. They couldn’t see the threat yet. A figure dropped from above, landing softly and quietly on the concrete like he’d done it a hundred times. Dorian. Marcus’s brother. The one everyone thought was dead. He stood tall, gun steady in his hand, face calm but hard. “Drop the dagger,” Dorian said quietly. Richard’s fingers tightened around the handle. “Who the hell are you?” “The man who’s going to put a bullet in your skull if you don’t let my brother go.” Kael stepped forward, chest puffed out. “You’re outnumbered.” Dorian didn’t even blink. “I’ve been outnumbered before. I’m still here. They’re not.” For a second, all eyes locked on Dorian. That

Chapter: sixty EightThe truck bounced down the dark road, tires humming against cracked asphalt. I sat in the back seat, staring out the window at the passing shadows. My neck burned under that damn silver collar. Every bump sent a sharp sting through my skin. Elara gripped the wheel tightly, Jaxon sat beside her, quiet as a ghost, his new vampire eyes faintly glowing in the dashboard light. Blackthorn Road was very long, lined with old factories and broken fences. The note from Kael burned a hole in my pocket. I hadn’t told them. Not yet. If I went in alone like it said, maybe I could buy Marcus some time. My hands shook slightly, but I clenched them into fists. No running this time. Not without him. “You look like you’re about to bolt,” Elara muttered, glancing at me in the rearview mirror. Her voice was sharp, but there was something tired underneath it. I shook my head. “I’m not going anywhere. My only goal is getting Marcus out. That’s it.” She laughed, but it wasn’t a happy sound. “Right. B

Chapter: sixty sevenPOV: Noah I dropped to my knees in the wet dirt. My chest moved up and down fast. I tried to quiet the loud sound of my breathing. The rough bark of the old oak tree dug deep into my back. I welcomed the sharp pain. It kept me awake while my mind spun wildly out of control. Just a few feet away, the green bushes crashed open. Bright flashlights cut through the dark woods. The hot light bounced wildly off the tall trees. Find him! Elara roared. Her voice was pure poison. It had no warmth. Damn. He is weak! He could not have gone far! Bring him back to me! I pressed my body flat against the huge tree trunk. I held my breath until my lungs burned hot. I could hear her heavy breathing right on the other side of the tree. The thick smell of her angry sweat filled the cold air. She was so close I could hear the dry dirt crunch under her heavy black boots. We lost his tracks, a scared guard stammered nearby. His voice was shaking hard. He just vanished. A loud crack echoed in the dark n

Chapter: sixty six**POV: Noah** Chains dug into my skin as I sat there in the dim room. Elara paced back and forth, her boots making sharp sounds on the floor. She held that crumpled message in one hand like it had personally insulted her. The old vampires in the corners stayed silent, but their presence made the air feel thick and heavy. I kept my breathing steady even though my mind raced. Marcus was out there with Richard and Kael. The thought of him hurt and alone twisted something deep inside me. I had to get free—no more waiting. “You did not see this coming, did you?” Elara said. She tossed the paper aside and crossed her arms. “Richard always liked his little secrets. Now he thinks he can snatch your man and force your hand.” One of the guards near the door shifted his weight. I watched him out of the corner of my eye. His keys hung from his belt, just out of reach but maybe possible if I created a distraction. “I need to talk to Richard,” I said. “This does not help anyone.” Elara s

Chapter: Chapter 65**POV: Marcus**My whole body hurt like I had been hit by a bus. Every single breath felt like fire in my chest, but I tried to keep my face straight and tough. I stared at the tall man standing in the blue candlelight. My hands were tight even though my legs felt weak.“Who are you really?” I asked, my voice sounding rough.The man stepped closer. The shadows moved away from his face, and I knew him right away.It was Richard Vale.Noah’s adoptive dad. The guy we all figured was stuck in a prison cell after the big mess happened.He looked different now. Much slimmer, His eyes had a cold look I had never seen before. But yeah, it was him. Same face shape. Same way of standing like he ran things.“Richard,” I said. The name felt bad in my mouth.“Hello, Marcus,” he replied, calm like we were just chatting. “You look awful.”I almost laughed but the pain stopped me. “What is going on? You were supposed to be locked up.”Richard walked slow around the outside of my cage. His fingers t

Chapter: sixty fourPOV: MarcusThe pain inside his chest was so bad that he wanted to scream. Every time he took a breath, it felt like a jagged piece of glass twisting deep in his ribs. He was flat on the freezing stone floor, his big body shaking all over. The wound on his side was a total mess, burned raw and black from the silver blade. Usually, his vampire blood healed cuts before the blood could even dry. But not this time. The silver was deep in his veins, burning him from the inside out like hot battery acid.He closed his eyes, unable to fight the heavy weight, pulling him down. The darkness took him again, but it didn’t bring any peace. It brought a dream.In the dream, there was no blood. There was no war. There were no monsters trying to rip them apart.Marcus was standing on a high rooftop, looking down at Noah’s office, and right there standing so close their clothes brushed was Noah.Noah looked so beautiful it hurt.
