A NERD FOR THE HOCKEY ALPHA ~075: Truth out
RonanThe fire snaps in the hearth, the only sound besides the pounding in my chest. My body feels like it’s been smashed through stone walls, my bandages sticky with blood. I sink back in the chair Casen shoved me into earlier, every breath rough and shallow. The healers did what they could, but they didn’t notice the real problem. They never do.Casen leans against the window frame, arms crossed, face shadowed. He’s been staring outside for a while, jaw tight. His silence grates on me almost as much as the pain tearing through my ribs. The smell of smoke and dried blood still clings to the air—it feels like the battlefield followed me into my own room.Finally, he says, “That wasn’t Blackridge.”I drag in a breath, slow, sharp. “No. They wouldn’t risk something like this. Not with the truce still hanging by a thread.”He nods once, still watching the dark outside. “Then who the hell sends three packs together with rogues? They knew the grounds too well. That wasn’t random.”“I know,
A NERD FOR THE HOCKEY ALPHA ~074. The Wounded Alpha
RonanThe taste of blood lingers on my tongue long after the battle ends. My body feels like it’s been ripped apart, every muscle screaming, my chest raw with pain. I collapse onto the dirt, boots heavy, breath shallow. The night is quieter now, but it’s not silence—it’s the kind of quiet that follows slaughter. Groans, whimpers, the occasional snarl. The stench of blood and smoke thick in the air, clinging to everything. Victory tastes bitter.Casen’s wolf prowls near me, blood dripping from his muzzle, his fur torn in patches. He shifts back, naked and covered in red, his face sharp with worry. He kneels down, his hand hovering close like he’s afraid to touch me.“You’re bleeding too much,” he mutters, his voice rough, strained. “Fuck, Ronan, you should never have been out there in this state.”I give a bitter laugh, low and broken. “Should I have stayed in bed and let them tear through us? Not happening.” My words come out hoarse, but steady enough.Casen doesn’t answer. His jaw cl
A NERD FOR THE HOCKEY ALPHA ~073. The Battle
RonanThe night is on fire with screams. Steel clashes, bones crack, wolves snarl loud enough to shake the ground under my boots. I grip the knife in one hand, the gun in the other, sweat sliding into my eyes as I move through the chaos. Casen is right beside me, shifting fast into his wolf, his massive form tearing into the first rogue that lunges our way. Blood sprays, hot and metallic, covering the dirt. The air reeks of it.I can’t shift. I can’t even feel Darko anymore. His silence is like a hole inside me, hollow and terrifying. My chest aches with it, but there’s no time to think. No time to wish. All I have are these weapons and my stubborn need not to drop dead before this night is over.“Left!” Casen’s voice blasts through the mindlink, sharp.I spin, pulling the trigger before the rogue even lands. The gun kicks hard in my hand. The shot rips through his head, and he drops like a stone, his body twitching as blood spills fast. My ears ring from the blast, but I don’t care.
A NERD FOR THE HOCKEY ALPHA ~072. The Invasion Begins
RonanI hear Casen’s voice in the dark and jolt awake. My chest is burning, my whole body trembling as I blink fast, trying to make sense of where I am. I notice I’m on my bed in my room, the sheets damp with sweat, and Casen is leaning over me, his face pale and scared.“Ronan,” he says quickly, relief spilling out as soon as my eyes focus on him. “What the hell happened? You blacked out on the floor when I came in. You scared the shit out of me.”My throat is dry, words scraping out. “How… how long was I out?”“Not long,” he mutters, fumbling with something in his hand. “Here. Take this. I had some in my room.” He presses the small bottle into my hand and shakes out a pill. “Medicine. You need it, don’t argue.”I don’t have the strength to argue anyway. My chest is still heavy, Darko’s not there, I feel totally empty. I grab the pill, shove it into my mouth, swallow with the water he pushes at me. The taste is bitter, sticking to my tongue.I slump back on the pillow, staring at the
A NERD FOR THE HOCKEY ALPHA 071: He's weak
RonanThe moment I shut the door of my room, the mask falls.All through that damn meeting, with Sasha’s punishment and eyes on me, I held it in. The weight in my chest, the twisting pressure, the fire that does not burn on the outside but claws inside me — I forced it down. Now there is no one watching. Just me and Darko.The pain slams into me before I even cross the floor. My knees nearly buckle. I grab the edge of the dresser, knuckles white, jaw locked so I do not make a sound. Alphas do not whimper. Right now I am not an Alpha. I am a man with his insides tearing because my wolf is weakening again.“Fuck,” I grind through clenched teeth. My chest feels like it is caving in. Every inhale is a battle. Every exhale is too shallow to matter.I press my palm to my sternum because the motion feels like something. It does not help. The pressure only grows. A sharp, stabbing ache shoots into my left shoulder and down my arm. My body jerks with the force of it.Darko. I can’t feel him at
A NERD FOR THE HOCKEY ALPHA ~070: The Punishment
RonanThe hall is still heavy with the echo of Sasha’s trial. Everyone’s voices, their mutters, their hidden agreements, their doubts—none of it has left the air. I can feel the weight pressing down on me as I rise from my chair, my palms still stinging where my grip earlier had cracked wood and skin alike. I look at Sasha, the girl I once thought I knew. She kneels in the middle of the room, her hair in tangles, her eyes rimmed red. She doesn’t look broken, not really. Not the way guilt should break someone. She looks desperate. She looks like she’s already calculating how to twist this back to her favor.I force my voice steady. “Sasha.” My tone carries enough power that the low murmurs of the council and the pack warriors at the edges die off immediately. “From this day forward, every privilege you carried as my former partner, as the one once considered for the Luna seat, is stripped away. You are nothing to me. You are nothing to this pack but a traitor in need of correction.”Th
