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

  • BREAK ME KNOT: An Omegaverse Quarterback Romance   THREE STATES AND THEN SOME

    Declan’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

  • BREAK ME KNOT: An Omegaverse Quarterback Romance   EVERY ITEM

    Maeve’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

  • BREAK ME KNOT: An Omegaverse Quarterback Romance   COLORADO

    Declan’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

  • BREAK ME KNOT: An Omegaverse Quarterback Romance   HARDER THAN FANTASY

    Maeve’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

  • BREAK ME KNOT: An Omegaverse Quarterback Romance   COMPLETELY TERRIFYING

    Declan’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

  • BREAK ME KNOT: An Omegaverse Quarterback Romance   NUMBER SEVENTEEN

    Maeve’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

  • BREAK ME KNOT: An Omegaverse Quarterback Romance   WHAT WE BROUGHT BACK

    Declan's POVCampus felt different on Monday. Or maybe I did. I couldn't tell which one it was, and I had stopped trying to figure it out by the time I pulled into the athletic complex for morning practice. The distinction stopped mattering when the result was the same either way: Vermont had done

    He pushed her onto her back and forced her arms over her head. He’d done it so many times, she knew he didn’t have to think of how much strength to exert to keep them right where he left them. His hands felt like so many things at once: dominance, strength, her anchor. She breathed out a sigh, and

    Be warned, it is steamy below. “Yes, Declan,” she whispered, her voice trembling with the effort of remaining still as he loomed over her. He didn't correct her use of his name this time; the intensity in his gaze was correction enough. He reached for the blindfold, the silk cool against her heat

  • BREAK ME KNOT: An Omegaverse Quarterback Romance   PENALTY BOX

    Maeve's POVI don't know how long we stayed on the ice. Long enough that I stopped needing to think about not falling and could just move with him, the slide becoming something natural rather than something to fight. Long enough that the bond went from its warm settled thing to something that was
