JAX“Mate.”The word rang in my head repeatedly. My heart squeezed in my chest. My breath caught.Time froze.A gush of heat pooled down my back as my jaw dropped. Every nerve in me screamed at me to run— to leave immediately but I could barely summon strength.The suppressants in my system were wearing off.Mates were myths. Legends.Not me. Not with him.Cipher.My breath rolled out in haggard puffs as the bathroom tilted in its axis. I pressed my back further against the wall, the cold tiles sending a clashing cascade of cold.“What—”My voice broke halfway. His scent hit me. Rough.Like a visceral punch to the guts. It rolled into my nostrils— cedar, smoke and a dark tinge I couldn't deduce yet couldn't resist.My legs weakened.“What did you just s—”My knees gave out and I fell. My vision blurred, darkening at its edges. I tried to keep my eyes open. Failed woefully at it. I heard his voice over the haze. Distant yet calming. His arms grabbed me. His voice came again. One las

JAXI hated the whole idea of coming to Cipher's winger. Why the fuck did he invite me anyway?Like I said, it was just another orgy waiting to happen.And I could bet my golden foot that I'd be right in the end. I parked the car in the parking lot, my fingers finally letting go of the steering wheel as I opened the door and stepped out.The evening air was cold against my flesh as I made my way out. I closed the door behind me and as I walked out of the corner, I felt the weight of over a ton of gasses.Great.They were all recognizing me. What a great night!Rage rolled through me in waves. I fixed my fists into a ball as I shuffled forward before even more people recognized me. I got to the door and the guards standing by it pulled it open immediately. One of them slipped a pass into my pockets and I made my way in. Like I guessed, I was met by the sight of sweaty, drunk and I should add, horny college students. Every person was just looking for a reason to bang the person in f

JAXI was lost in thoughts the entire while.“You won, Jax. You fucking won!”Coach chanted, rushing towards me. “Your shot at getting picked by the man is higher. I tried to engage him in small talks and filled him in on all of your achievements. He was interested in hearing. H—”The rest of his words blurred in with the cheering in the background. My heart beat heavily in my chest. I felt sick to the stomach. I had to get back to my dorm room for my second vial of suppressant.I rushed to the exit and left. Coach rushed after me.“You can't leave now, Jax. You have to wait a while for a few interviews and some press d—”I cut him short. “Watch me!”I got out of the building and rushed into the parking lot. It didn't take long before I spotted the car and made my way towards it. I got into the back seat and didn't hesitate to blurt out an order.“To the dorm. ASAP.”The driver didn't hesitate to do just as I said. The rest of the ride was torture but knowing I was far from everyone

JAXWhatever what was going on was called, I hated it.The sound of Coach's voice was heavy. Thick with tension. As usual.I headed for the rink and as I approached it, I noticed something. The crowd had increased. "What the hell is going on? How did the crowd double at just the last act?"I turned in Coach's direction, waiting for a response. He flashed his eyes around the rink before he slapped his palm against his forehead."Fuck, he's here."My brows creased. "Who is that?""You don't know? The owner of the biggest managing company of hockey athletes. Ice time corp. Think of every big hockey athlete to ever make it big.."He paused, leaving me to my thoughts.Several dignitaries popped up in my mind. And just when I'd summed up all that my brain could think of, he continued. "That man right there built them. Brick by brick."I followed his fingers' direction and my gaze landed on the figure of a robust, bald man in an all black suit combo and dark spectacles."I guess he's trying

JAXI'd only met him once.Cipher.My biggest enemy.Tall, big, bad, cocky motherfucker. One march.Three years ago.He buried my face into the ice. I lost. He was an alpha wolf by birth. I wasn't.I lost to the cocky bastard ruined my carefully moulded legacy and had to start all over again. Building it all brick by brick.The wolf who offered me first hand embarrassment?I bet he was in a big room filled with investors pitching how well he was going to win tonight. I could almost see that cocky smirk on his face. Widening. My fists clenched.Well, I wasn't going to allow that.Not on my watch.I lost many of my biggest sponsors three years ago. My chances of getting signed by an agency was only beginning to get better. And I'd rather have strands of my hair yanked out in cold blood than to allow him beat me again. Tonight, I had to focus on doing just what I did best. Keeping my title. There could only be one rink leader in the whole of campus and that leader was me.The title
