Marked By The Ruthless Hockey Captain
One rule, the golden fucking rule of Apex Crest Academy, don’t get noticed by Knox Cole.
The day I broke it, the moment I stood up and defended my best friend.
Knox Cole noticed me.
I became his target.
A possession.
Marked by the devil himself.
***
Being a scholarship kid didn’t help Finn’s case in a prestigious school like Apex Crest Academy. In a world where money, power and secrets are tools of exchange, Finn finds himself lost, trying to navigate through the tunnels of attention, fame and lust.
The plan was simple: get a decree and fight his way into an Ivy League College. But destiny and fate don’t always play by the rules. All it took was a minute of bravery, and Finn was doomed.
Knox Cole doesn’t accept escape routes.
Hockey captain, an untouchable legacy. Knox doesn’t ask; he takes, controls, and when he is done, he ruins. When Finn stands up to him, challenging his authority, Knox doesn’t destroy. He plots. He watches.
The school bends, closing in on Finn, making his world slowly dark. Knox offers a way out, a deal wrapped in danger.
How would Finn fight the man who breaks him, yet gives him kisses that make him want to never be saved?
When the closet opens, and secrets spill, will Finn stand, or will he run to save the one dream he has always had?
Finn must decide: survive the boy that had chosen him, or surrender to something darker, scarier.
Because in Knox’s world, love isn’t given.
It is taken, controlled.

Chapter: chapter 5Knox’s PovIt is hate at first sight.For him, for everything that surrounded him.“I have what you need,” Ace said, his smile eager as he dropped the folder beside me. I smirked as I stared at it, “That was a nice touch with the bander, how did you get that information?”He smirked, perking up at the attention, “Not hard,” he said.I nodded, keeping my eyes on the file. Of course he would say that, his father was a corrupt politician who showed his kids the crooked path. That sounded obnoxious. But it's true.“Why are you interested in him?” I could hear the curiosity in his voice as he waited for my reply.Why was I interested?Did it have something to do with the fact that he had defiled me? spoken out of turn? Or was it the fact that his blue eyes crashed through me like an ocean?He defiled me, that was the best answer.My body stiffened, a reaction that I know only comes with a certain someone. I turned, my eyes instantly finding him. I liked how easy it is to find him in the cr

Chapter: chapter 4Finn’s PovIt seemed like I had accepted my fate way too soon. I should have fought it, and asked for a change.But in this world, scholarship students say nothing. They don’t make demands, they just follow.My suitcase weighed my arms as I dragged it down the polished hallway. The aid? Gone, the second he had noticed who I was, he had turned the other way with a scoff and left.I had to do the one thing I hated most about this school, walking through the unending corridors, trying to find the right path. And I did.I stared at the door, 1A, top floor, legacy building. This was the athlete's building.No.My stomach twisted, but before I could make that decision to run, the door opened. Revealing the face, I hoped I didn’t have to see.There he stood, tall proud, and eyes glowing with menace.Knox Cole.The master who pulled strings.How did he do it?“Right on time,” he muttered, his voice rumbling through my body. I stiffened, but not from fear, from something I didn’t want to admit

Chapter: chapter 3Finn’s PovThere is something no one ever wants to see. No one wants to know what it feels like to be in front of the police station, eyes bloodshot red from tears as you beg for your mother to be freed.And there is something that shouldn’t be seen. A picture of my lowest, the mugshot of my most embarrassing moment plastered on the walls as people laughed as they stared.My body trembled, it felt like I couldn’t breathe as I stared at the pictures that decorated the walls.“trailer boy! Do you think your mother would take a dollar to blow me off?”“You'd better hope those lips don’t give you herpes!”They jeered. Laughed as they said more than enough to force me blind with rage.“Walk away,” Zale whispered behind my back.I didn’t listen, I shoved through the crowd, my elbow hitting anything that stood by the side as I tore down the pictures. They could taunt me all they wanted, but my mother? That was the one thing that I didn’t want to listen to.“Look at that, such a cunt,” a voic

Chapter: chapter 2Finn’s PovONE WEEK LATER.My locker was gone.Not vandalised. Gone. As if it had vanished into thin air.In the empty space, was a note stapled to the wall.“You shouldn’t exist. Charity isn’t welcomed here.”No name.No signature.It wasn’t needed.The words were meant to hurt. But they didn’t, I grew up in a dark world, the kind that forces you to have a thick skin just before you learn how to speak. This was nothing, but it was still enough to rattle me.I found my books, dumped right in front of the janitor’s closet. I knew what they were trying to say. But jokes on them, the janitor still earned more than what my mother made in a month.I almost laughed at the thought. The janitor was the least person here and yet he was still living a life that most of us wished we had.Laughter echoed around me, and cameras flicked as I picked up the scattered books, this was the ninth assault in one week. They knew how to work in the shadows, no loud attack, nothing that would cause a smear t

Chapter: chapter 1Finn’s Pov“Get your hands off him!”The hallway went silent.Apex-crest academy never goes silent. There is always noise, laughter, and the obnoxious hum of arrogance. But now? There was nothing.No one says it. Not in the halls with marble floors that only echo your mistakes. Or in the classroom, the tuition costs more than my family makes in a year. Not a whisper. Not a thought.But the rules were there. The golden rule that governed the school. Everyone lived by it.Don’t get noticed by Knox Cole.And I broke it.Me! The outsider, the one abnormality that had stepped into their lives, into their world.A charity case, a quota. Names that they had called me, names that had slowly become my identity.I broke that rule.Knox Cole turned, a slow yet impactful moment, his stormy black eyes meeting my blue fearful ones. His hands? Still wrapped around Zale, my best friend. A smile crept on his lips, a cruel toe-curling sneer, the kind that says you have made a dire mistake.“What did yo
