Lara.

Flashback continues…

I stared at him, shocked. Alex was Skyler’s boyfriend? Okay, this was now making sense. He wasn't here because he wanted to just taint Riven’s image. He wasn't also here just for blackmail. He was here for a bargain.

"If he's your boyfriend, why don't you just tell him to stop?" I asked, trying to find my voice. "Why bring me into this?"

Alex’s face turned stony. "Because if I tell him, he’ll fight me. Your Riven has seduced him to that point—to the point that he doesn't care about me anymore.

But if you make things impossible for Riven—if you remind him of his duty, if you make him feel the weight of his father’s expectations—then he’ll pull away. Skyler won't have a choice but to come back to me."

"And if I don't?" I challenged, though my voice was shaking.

Alex leaned down, his face inches from mine. "If you don't, I’ll send these photos to the Alpha tonight. I’ll leak them to the whole pack. Riven will be exiled. You’ll be a laughingstock. And Skyler? He

  • A Rival for the Hockey Alpha    Chapter 213

    Author’s POVThe room was freezing. It was a dark office, deep underground, far away from the lights of the Silverfangs.The only light came from a wall of computer monitors. On those screens were photos of Riven Blackthorn and Skyler Gale.Two men sat at a long steel table. One was relaxed, leaning back on the soft leather of his chair, sitting there nonchalantly like he was bored.The other was staring at a phone that wouldn't stop ringing. He was the supervisor.“He’s still not picking up,” the first man said as he tossed the phone onto the table. It slid across the metal with a sharp screech. “Skyler has gone dark. Total radio silence.”The second man, the Leader, didn’t move. He was looking at a report that had just come in.“I don't think it matters if he picks up the phone or not. The news just hit the wire now. Your spy is dead. They found him in his dorm room an hour ago,” he stated like the death was a mere scratch to the UN.The supervisor sat up straight. His eyes widened.

  • A Rival for the Hockey Alpha    Chapter 212

    Sky.Four days later... The watch on my wrist. Tick. Tick. Tick.The sound was strangely loud, enough for me to hear.And with every one of those ticks, there came a loud bang in my head—a big bang, a hard beat in my chest.Every second felt like a hammer hitting a nail. It was nearly midnight.My phone buzzed for the umpteenth time that night.Messages. Checkups. Just to make sure everything I needed was in place.The UN was waiting. Waiting for my final mission. The news of the dead Alpha, Riven Blackthorn.And then there was me. For the past five days, I had planned and unplanned. Confounded in myself, I braced myself, trained my mind—For what was about to be done.I was done. I felt like this was it. This was the time I either paid or got paid.I was done being the puppet. I was done being the bad guy who hurt the only person who actually made me feel human.And now, it was time. Time for me to move.I checked my gear. Jumped down from the tree where I had been monitoring moveme

  • A Rival for the Hockey Alpha    Chapter 211

    Sky.The locker room smelled like sweat, ice, and victory, but to me, it felt like a cage.We had just won the game, and the guys were buzzing, but I kept my head down.I was busy trying to peel the tape off my wrists and, more importantly, trying not to look at Riven.I had been avoiding him since that night, trying my best, even if it was not easy. My heart felt heavy every time he breathed in my direction.Riven, though? He seemed fine.He looked like he had finally accepted what I said. But how could he move on so fast? How?How can he show me love and then, boom—no slips, nothing. He is absolutely fine. All cheers and grins.But it’s a good thing, right? It's a good thing that he is not in sorrow. At least that was supposed to make me feel better.Shit.I didn't even know what I was thinking.Suddenly, I heard the door swing open.“All hail the Luna!” Jade bellowed, his voice echoing through the busy space. “Make way for the Queen!” someone else shouted.The room went quiet, then

    I slumped against the door of my suite. My body ached.I had just finished with Riven, after hours of going back and forth.Damn.I swear, I had never seen that guy like that. Not once, not ever.For real, if I was being honest, I didn't know how long it would take him to soak it in and come to terms with that rejection from Sky. But I knew that he would—it just needed time. Possibly a lot... of time.And for Sky, goddess knew that whenever and wherever I saw him, he would definitely see my bad side.All I wanted now was a hot shower and a bed that didn't talk back.I was in my suite, and immediately when I stepped inside, my nose flared. I froze.There was a familiar scent in the house. I looked around, and I caught the shadow even in the dim light of the room."You’re late, Beta," a smooth voice purred.I sighed, rubbing my temples. "Xander. How did you even get in here?" I asked, because I knew I locked it.Xander stood up, adjusting his shirt. "I have my ways. You’ve been ignoring

  • A Rival for the Hockey Alpha    Chapter 209

    Sky.The sound of the door slamming was the loudest thing I had ever heard. It echoed through the hallway, but it felt like it was echoing inside my skull.It was like I had just shut my breath out of my soul.I stood on the other side of that wood, my back pressed against it. My legs gave out, knees weak, and I slid down until I was sitting on the floor, my head buried in my knees."I'm sorry," I whispered into the empty room. "I'm so sorry, Riven."My chest felt like it was being ripped open by a dull blade. I had just destroyed the only good thing I had ever owned. The only thing that seemed to make me happy after years of dwelling in pain and silent melancholy.I had looked into the eyes of the guy I loved—the guy who looked at me like I was his entire world days ago—and I had called him a "fling." I had called him "boring."I wanted to throw up.Every word I had just said felt like a lie that burned my throat on the way out.When he kissed me, for one second, I almost gave up. I

  • A Rival for the Hockey Alpha    Chapter 208

    Riven.It’s been days, three—or more— since I had last seen Skyler. He was not in practice, not in classes. Nowhere. Although I didn’t go to his dorm.I had sent him dozens of texts. I had called him until my phone died. Nothing. No blue ticks, no “typing…” bubbles—just silence.My heart felt like it was being squeezed in a fist every time I checked my screen.I couldn’t take it anymore. I decided to head to his dorm. Even if I wanted to be positive, I didn’t want to think that he probably was no more in the pack and maybe he had just disappeared.I got to the door, pressing the doorbell. I waited for a while before the door opened.It was him.He… he just stood there. He wasn’t smiling. He didn’t look happy to see me. He looked… bored? Tired.“Sky,” I breathed, a wave of relief washing over me. “Care to explain why you haven’t been taking my calls? I thought something happened.”“Nothing happened,” he said. His voice was flat, void of emotion and warmth.I furrowed my brow. I didn’t
