BREAK ME KNOT: An Omegaverse Quarterback Romance
“What am I doing? What were you doing letting another man feel you up?”
“I don’t belong to you. I can let whoever I want to feel me up. Take a hint Declan.”
I ran a hand over her arms and watched as goosebumps rose on her skin. I could smell her arousal, and knew every alpha could too.
I was overwhelmed with the urge to carry her away and lock her up for my eyes only.
I settled for pulling her into me and burying my face into her hair. Her scent drove me crazy. She smelled so sweet, so safe, like home.
“Does his touch make you feel like this? Does his scent make your pussy purr, Maeve?”
She gasped, and I watched, satisfied, as a blush crawled onto her face. Without a word, she had given me my answer. She could deny the way we reacted to each other with her words, but the body didn’t lie.
She wanted me.
*********
One night. One mistake. One bond that will never break.
It was supposed to be nothing more than a freshman party with loud music, bad drinks, and no consequences. But when I locked eyes with him, I knew I was walking straight into trouble.
I did it anyway.
He’s been searching for me, watching me, and obsessing over me.
The possessive alpha he keeps buried slips closer to the surface every time I push back and remind him I don’t belong to anyone.
But bonds don’t care about pride.
And the darker his desire gets, the harder it becomes to tell whether I’m running from him… or provoking him on purpose.
Because the truth is, I never forgot that night either.
And some knots were never meant to be broken.

Chapter: THREE STATES AND THEN SOMEDeclan’s POV Colorado was an incredibly beautiful place, but it was beautiful in the specific way a landscape looks when you are too miserable to actually appreciate the scenery. The Rocky Mountains were visible through my windshield every single morning when I drove to the training facility. They were enormous, white-capped, and entirely indifferent to the fact that the bond had become a heavy, stretched ache in the center of my chest from the exact moment my flight lifted off the tarmac in Rhode Island. The altitude increased, the distance turned into thousands of miles of geography, and my mind stayed behind. I drove past those peaks every day and noted their scale the way you note a fact in a textbook; you know it is significant, but you cannot actually feel it because your attention is fixed somewhere else. My attention was always fixed two thousand miles to the east, inside a third-floor apartment with a doorless bedroom, a corner grocery store, and a woman studying tort l

Chapter: EVERY ITEMMaeve’s POV I helped him pack his bags on Sunday morning. That was the specific task I had not anticipated would be as difficult as it turned out to be. I had known the departure was coming for three weeks, ever since the Colorado management team had sent over the digital contract and the dates on our calendar had transformed into a countdown. I had spent those three weeks preparing for the separation the exact way I prepared for any difficult logistical hurdle. I used a methodical approach and a deliberate emotional distance that I had developed into a survival skill since I was eight years old, back when I first realized that the world did not stop spinning just because you were having feelings about it. I had looked at the team travel sheets. I had researched the commercial flight paths between Providence and Denver. I had identified every single multi-day gap in the Colorado regular-season schedule, matched them directly against my assignment calendar at Northeastern, and adj

Chapter: COLORADODeclan’s POV Dan called me on a Wednesday afternoon in October, and I recognized the specific quality of his voice within the first two words of his greeting. It was not his minor-league voice. It was not the casual, conversational tone he used when he was checking in on my caloric intake or giving me administrative updates about the Providence training facility. This was the voice he used when a room full of executives had just reached a consensus. I had heard Dan use this particular register exactly twice before in my professional life, and both times had preceded a major shift in my career. "Colorado reached out to the office this morning," he said without any preamble. I sat down heavily on the old sofa, my hand tightening around the receiver. "Give me the details." He laid out the parameters of the deal. It was a full NHL roster spot, guaranteed from day one, with first-line consideration by the third week of the season if their current left wing’s hamstring did not pass the

Chapter: HARDER THAN FANTASYMaeve’s POV Six months into our life together in Providence, the dishes became the physical manifestation of every unspoken pressure in the room. It was never actually about the plates or the forks left soaking in grease. That was the hidden tax of sharing a tiny apartment with another person when you both possessed a biological connection that had no off switch. The dishes were simply the breaking point at the end of a brutal Tuesday evening. I had been at the legal aid clinic since eight o’clock in the morning, followed immediately by three consecutive seminars from noon until six. By the time I boarded the cross-town bus, my eyes were burning from reading forty pages of Palsgraf versus Long Island Railroad Company by the dim, flickering overhead light. The text had barely registered, maybe sixty percent retention at best, which was completely unacceptable for someone trying to prove she belonged in a courtroom. When I finally unlocked the door at eight-thirty, the first thin

Chapter: COMPLETELY TERRIFYINGDeclan’s POV The apartment was dark except for the blue and white glow of the streetlamp filtering through the blinds. Maeve was lying with her head on my chest. Her finger traced idle and absentminded patterns against my skin, circling the place where my heart beat a steady rhythm for her. The boiler in the basement was doing its usual clank and hiss. It was a noisy and unreliable piece of machinery, but it had become the soundtrack to our new life together. In the silence of the room, every sound felt magnified. "Declan?" she whispered. Her voice was small and fragile, the way it only got when we were completely alone in the quiet hours of the morning. "Yeah?" I asked, my voice thick with sleep and the comfort of her weight against me. "Do you ever regret it?" she asked suddenly. "The career path and the fact that the big agencies aren't calling back anymore. The Providence locker room instead of the big league stage in Boston." She paused for a long time, and her finger stopp

Chapter: NUMBER SEVENTEENMaeve’s POV The jersey was massive on my frame. It had the name HAYES stitched across the shoulders in bold block letters, and the number seventeen was a white and gold weight against my back. Declan had handed it to me this morning with a shy and uncharacteristic hesitation. He had told me to wear it only if I wanted to, but the bond had already made that decision for me. It hummed with a fierce and protective pride that demanded visibility. I was done with the shadows and the carefully curated disguises. Today, I was going to be exactly who the universe intended me to be. The arena in Providence was a sharp contrast to the high-gloss spectacles of the NHL rinks I had visited as a child. It was smaller and grittier. It felt more intimate, almost like a community center with a high-stakes secret hidden within its cold walls. You could hear the puck thud against the boards like a heavy heartbeat. You could see the ice shavings and the sweat flying off the players' helmets when
