  • BREAK ME KNOT: An Omegaverse Quarterback Romance   BURNING

    Maeve’s POV By noon, the post had four million views, and the digital world had effectively split in two. I sat on Declan’s couch, tucked under a heavy wool blanket that carried the scent of his laundry detergent—something clean and unremarkable that felt like a lifeline in a room that was beginning to feel like a bunker. I watched the numbers climb with a detached, clinical fascination. It was like watching a virus move through a population in real time. The internet was a magnifying glass, and we were the ants being toasted under the heat. Public opinion was a jagged, ugly split. On one side, the "romantics" and the younger Omegas saw it as a grand, defiant stand against a stifling political dynasty. On the other—the side that actually mattered for Declan’s career—the "purists" and the franchise stalwarts were calling it a career suicide note. The sports accounts were talking about "impulse control issues" and "locker room distractions," while the political pundits were havin

  • BREAK ME KNOT: An Omegaverse Quarterback Romance   NOT A MISTAKE

    Declan’s POV I watched the press conference at six AM, the blue light of the phone screen making the dark room look like an aquarium. I was sitting on the edge of the couch, my muscles coiled as if I were waiting for the puck to drop, but the opponent this time wasn't on the ice. It was a woman in a five-thousand-dollar suit standing behind a podium three hundred miles away. I had known it was coming. The bond had been vibrating with Maeve's particular brand of dread since ten PM—a tight, metallic feeling that signaled she was bracing for a collision she couldn't avoid. I’d stayed awake, watching the shadows shift on the ceiling, feeling her heart rate spike and dip from across the campus. It was an agonizing, helpless sensation, wanting to reach out and pull that dread into my own chest just so she could sleep. Senator Eleanor Collins stood at a podium in Connecticut, framed by the state and national flags. She looked impeccable. Every hair was in place, her suit was a suit of a

  • BREAK ME KNOT: An Omegaverse Quarterback Romance   THE ARTICLE

    Maeve’s POV Three days before finals, the world finally caught up to the secret I had been trying to outrun since September. My phone suffered a digital cardiac arrest. It wasn’t the battery—I’d been meticulous about keeping it charged, a habit born from months of needing to be reachable at a second’s notice in case Declan needed me or my mother decided to strike. It was the sheer velocity of the fallout. The notifications came in a tidal surge that paralyzed the hardware. The screen lagged behind reality, a stuttering, frozen backlog of mentions, tags, and messages from ghosts of my past. People I hadn’t spoken to since primary school were suddenly "checking in" with transparent curiosity, and strangers were dissecting the intimate details of my biology with the clinical coldness of a forensic lab. I sat on the edge of my bed in the dorm, the rhythmic, frantic vibration of the phone against my thigh feeling like a second heartbeat that wasn’t mine. It was a physical manifestati

  • BREAK ME KNOT: An Omegaverse Quarterback Romance   NEW RULES

    Declan’s POV The sun was a pale, weak sliver on the horizon when we finally sat down at the small wooden table in my apartment. The air was cold because I hadn't turned the heat up, but the bond was acting like a space heater, a constant, low-frequency thrum of shared warmth that filled the kitchen. Maeve was sitting across from me, her silver hair pulled back in a messy knot, her laptop open. She looked like a general surveying a losing battlefield, her eyes darting across spreadsheets and bank statements with a clinical, terrifying focus. This was the Ashford in her; the part that didn't panic but planned. "Okay," she said, her voice steady now, though the exhaustion was etched into the corners of her mouth. "If we're doing this, we need rules. We can't survive on adrenaline and romance, Declan. Not with my mother holding the deck." "I'm listening," I said. I pushed a mug of coffee toward her. She took it without looking, her fingers brushing mine, sending a jolt of static throu

  • BREAK ME KNOT: An Omegaverse Quarterback Romance   I'M TRYING

    Maeve’s POV The walk from the arena back to my dorm was a study in sensory overload. Every shadow seemed to have a voice; every footfall behind me felt like a subpoena. I kept my head down, the cold night air biting at the exposed skin of my neck where the mark was still thrumming with the adrenaline of being seen. It felt raw, as if the camera’s lens had physically scraped away the protective layers I’d spent months applying. I reached the safety of my room and leaned against the door, the wood cool against my back. The silence of the dorm was a lie. My phone, abandoned on the duvet, was a glowing, vibrating insect. I didn't want to touch it. I knew what was waiting there. The Ashford machine didn't sleep; it recalibrated. When I finally picked it up, the screen was a wall of notifications. News alerts, Instagram tags, and the one that made my stomach drop into a cold, dark void: seventeen missed calls from my mother. There was one voicemail. I hit play, my hand shaking so viole

  • BREAK ME KNOT: An Omegaverse Quarterback Romance   SOMEONE IMPORTANT

    Declan’s POV The locker room felt like a pressure cooker. The air was thick with the scent of pine-sol, wet equipment, and the sharp, ozone-scented anxiety of twenty young men who realized their captain had just nuked his own social standing in front of the entire student body. I stripped my gear off in silence. Every snap of a strap, every clatter of a pad against the floor, sounded like a gunshot. I could feel the eyes on me—the sideways glances from the freshmen, the worried frowns from the seniors. Nobody knew what to say. In the world of collegiate sports, "low-drama" is the currency of the elite. I had just spent that currency and gone into a massive, unpayable debt. I sat in my stall, my head in my hands, letting the sweat drip onto the rubber mat between my feet. My phone was already vibrating in my bag. I didn't have to look to know who it was. Dan, my agent, would be spiraling. The scouts from the Bruins and the Rangers would be recalibrating their "character" assessm

    Maeve's POVWe were standing on the deck of the house. It was a pretty large space with a small sofa, a round table with two chairs, and some plants. There was a pool table on one side, a table tennis table, and a basketball ring. For a jock house, it was pretty. And it was clean. Color me surp

    Maeve's POVI knew the moment he found out who I was. I was in the library when the bond went sharp with shock first, and then it grew into heat, and before I knew it, I was partially blinded by the rage Declan was feeling. It hit me so suddenly that I knocked my highlighter off the table and had

    Maeve's POVMy mother called on Sunday at noon as usual. I was ready for her this time. I had spent the week building the version of myself that sounded settled, productive and completely fine, so when her contact photo lit up my screen, and I answered on the first ring. "Maeve." Her voice was pl

    Maeve's POVThe first thing I noticed about Tyler was that he was easy, and in my current situation, easy was the most attractive quality a person could have. He didn't make the bond do anything. He didn't make my omega sit up and take notice. He was just a boy in my study group who was funny and s
