Chapter 9: Political Science and Pastries

last update publish date: 2026-07-23 20:27:06

The Lycan Sports Council was comprised of six ancient, terrifyingly wealthy Alpha shifters who looked like they hadn’t laughed since the late nineteenth century.

They were currently clustered around a towering seafood tower at the far end of the VIP mezzanine, picking at oysters with tiny silver forks and looking down at the crowded ballroom floor with the detached arrogance of Roman emperors. Sitting right in the center of the semicircular leather booth was Chairman Sterling—a silver-haired, s

  • Breaking the Ice with My Fake Boyfriend    Chapter 13: The Domestic Quarantine

    The third biological lockdown in less than twenty-four hours is where the glamour of a fated-mate contract officially goes to die.For twenty-four agonizing, toe-curling minutes, I remained pinned flat on my back beneath Kaelen Vane, my ankles still securely locked behind his massive lower back while his fully expanded Alpha knot held us completely fused together. We were a tangled disaster of high-end corporate tailoring and ruined silk. Kaelen hadn't even taken off his charcoal suit vest, which was currently pressed flat against my bare breasts, while the shredded remnants of my midnight-blue gown were bunched up around my ribcage like a crumpled parachute."Kaelen," I croaked, my voice sounding like I had spent the last three hours swallowing track-side ice shavings. I tried to wriggle my toes, but my left calf immediately gave a sharp, agonizing knot of its own. "My leg is cramping. If this biological padlock doesn't dissolve in the next ninety seconds, I am going to use a clinica

    The ride up to Kaelen’s Beacon Hill penthouse was an exercise in absolute, localized sensory deprivation.I was completely buried alive in fifty pounds of insulated, weatherproof team hockey apparel, sitting stiffly in the passenger seat of his matte-black SUV while the heater blasted warm air across my bare ankles. Beneath the heavy zipper of the oversized winter coat, my ruined midnight-blue silk dress hung in pathetic, frayed tatters around my waist, and the sticky, cooling evidence of Kaelen's double-dose Alpha seed was currently drying in thick streaks down the inside of my thighs. Every single time he hit a pothole on the cobblestone streets, the motion caused the split remnants of my black satin panties to tickle my lower abdomen, triggering a fresh, involuntary throb from my thoroughly stretched core."You're remarkably quiet, Dr. Cross," Kaelen drawled, his gravelly voice slicing through the heavy, cedar-scented silence of the vehicle. His massive hand remained casually drape

  • Breaking the Ice with My Fake Boyfriend    Chapter 11: The Team Jacket Protocol

    The biological mathematics of a True Alpha’s mating knot don’t care about luxury dress fabric, and they certainly don’t care about a black-tie gala schedule.For twenty-two long minutes, Kaelen Vane kept me firmly pinned against the dented sheet metal of that janitorial storage locker. My back was chilled by the cold iron behind me, while the front of my body was being thoroughly baked by the furnace-like heat radiating from his massive chest. Deep inside my core, his fully expanded knot held us relentlessly fused together on the concrete floor, a thick, throbbing anchor that pulsed in sync with our racing heartbeats."Kaelen," I whispered, my voice echoing off a row of plastic spray bottles. I tried to shift my left leg, which was still hooked awkwardly over his broad, tailored shoulder, but the movement only caused the locker door behind me to rattle with a sharp, metallic clang. "My thigh is going completely numb. If the arena night supervisor comes down this corridor to check the

    The utility room smelled of industrial pine cleaner, vulcanized rubber, and the imminent destruction of my professional dignity.It was a windowless, concrete bunker lit by a single, buzzing fluorescent bulb that flickered overhead, casting harsh shadows across rows of heavy-duty mop buckets, stacked cases of arena-grade paper towels, and spare uniform crates. The contrast between my shimmering midnight-blue silk gown and the literal industrial shelving units we were standing next to was nothing short of an absolute comedy."Kaelen," I gasped, the word instantly cut off as his massive, six-foot-five frame slammed against mine, pinning my back directly against the cold, unyielding surface of a heavy steel storage locker. The metal door rattled violently under our combined weight, a stack of plastic caution signs sliding off the top and hitting the concrete floor with a series of loud, clattering thuds. "We are thirty feet away from the regional sports board. This is a janitorial close

    The Lycan Sports Council was comprised of six ancient, terrifyingly wealthy Alpha shifters who looked like they hadn’t laughed since the late nineteenth century.They were currently clustered around a towering seafood tower at the far end of the VIP mezzanine, picking at oysters with tiny silver forks and looking down at the crowded ballroom floor with the detached arrogance of Roman emperors. Sitting right in the center of the semicircular leather booth was Chairman Sterling—a silver-haired, six-foot-four patriarch whose heavy, ancestral Alpha aura was so thick it practically made the champagne bubbles in my glass freeze solid."Stay close, Harlow," Kaelen murmured, his voice dropping into a low, rumbling frequency that vibrated straight through the silk of my gown. His massive palm shifted on my bare back, his thick fingers splaying wide over my skin to press me directly against his side. "The Chairman has been looking for an excuse to strip my captaincy for three seasons. He thinks

  • Breaking the Ice with My Fake Boyfriend    Chapter 8: The Logistics of a Locked-in Mate

    The problem with a True Alpha’s knot isn't just the intense, toe-curling heat of it; it’s the sheer, unyielding scheduling conflict it presents.For twenty-five agonizingly loud minutes, I remained pinned flat on my back against the vinyl padding of the primary rehabilitation table, my legs still awkwardly hooked over Kaelen’s massive, tattooed shoulders while his body held us biology-locked together. Every single time I tried to wiggle my toes or suggest he shift his weight, the metal legs of the table would let out an incredibly high-pitched, metallic shriek that echoed off the glass supply cabinets like a distressed bird."Kaelen," I hissed, my face burning as I stared at the acoustic tile ceiling. "My left foot is completely asleep, and I can hear the arena maintenance staff testing the Zamboni horns on the lower rink. If anyone knocks on that door, I am going to write a medical evaluation declaring you a workplace hazard.""Relax, Harlow," Kaelen grunted, his face buried deep in
