INICIAR SESIÓNI've spent two years loving the wrong man. As the captain of North Crest University's hockey team, Jason Brooks was every girl's dream. To me, he became my nightmare. I stood by him through every victory, forgave every betrayal, and convinced myself that love meant enduring the pain. By the time I finally found the strength to walk away, my grades had crashed terribly, and my scholarship was hanging by a thread. What made things even crazier was finding my best friend in bed with my ex. I thought that was the lowest point of my life. Then I accidentally crossed paths with Damien Knight, the captain of Westlake University, North Crest's biggest rival. One unexpected encounter turned into a campus-wide scandal. Suddenly, everyone believed I had traded one hockey captain for another. The rumors spread like wildfire, my ex became obsessed with winning me back, and before I knew it, I was living under the same roof as the one man who made me feel something I'd never felt before. But loving the captain of our biggest rival comes with a price, and some people will do anything to tear us apart. Including the man who refuses to let me go.
Ver más***XANDER***I stood with my back to the stone wall, feeling the cold seep through my coat and into my spine. The clearing was quiet except for the low crackle of the torches and the uneven breathing of the alphas who had agreed to come. This meeting was not sanctioned. Levina did not know about it. That alone made every shadow feel sharper.They formed a loose circle around me, careful not to stand too close, as if distance could protect them from what we were doing. These were men who had led packs through blood and fire, yet now they avoided my eyes. Fear had changed them. Fear wearing the face of loyalty.“We have to put a stop to this,” I said. My voice sounded steadier than I felt. “This war isn’t about justice anymore. It’s about control.”One of them shifted, boots scraping against stone. “You’re saying this behind her back,” he muttered. “If Levina finds out, we’re dead.”“She won’t,” I said. “Not unless one of you tells her.”That earned me a few sharp looks. Silence pressed
AURORA'S POVI withdrew my gaze as soon as our eyes met. I mean… it felt like an invincible aura was surrounding him, more like bloodlust if I'm getting it right. Whatever it was, it made me feel like leaving there instantly.Ryan stepped forward a few places from me, and went down on one knee. “I've returned, Father.”The man on the throne tilted his head slightly and leaned forward from his throne. “So, how was it?” His voice was deeper than any I've ever heard my whole life.Wait… Ryan was on a mission? And what mission exactly was that?“That is something I'd like to discuss in private, most preferably when we're out of here.”His lips curled slightly, and he nodded as he returned to his original pose.I withdrew my gaze as soon as our eyes met.

LUKE'S POVThe training yard was already loud when I stepped onto the sand.Scott had the betas running laps with weighted cuffs, barking orders like he was trying to scare the ground into obedience. Rowan stood off to the side, arms folded, watching footwork instead of speed, correcting posture when Scott wasn’t looking.“Again,” Scott shouted. “If you can still breathe, you can still move.”One of the younger betas groaned. “You enjoy this too much.”Scott grinned. “Pain builds character.”“It builds resentment,” Rowan said mildly.Scott snorted. “Same thing.”I rolled my shoulders and stepped into the ring. “Switch out. I want rotations.”They turned toward me immediately. No argument. That was one thing Scott understood—timing. He clapped his hands and started rearranging the group while Rowan moved closer.“You’re late,” Rowan said quietly.“I wasn’t,” I replied. “You started early.”“That’s Scott’s fault.”Scott heard his name and glanced over. “Say it louder so I can enjoy it.”
***ANNE***I paced the sitting room slowly, my bare feet brushing the cold floor as the maid followed a step behind me. She kept her head lowered, hands folded tight in front of her, walking like someone afraid to leave footprints.“Say it,” I told her without turning. “You didn’t come all this way to breathe quietly.”“Yes, my lady,” she said. “Quinn has officially been made beta.”I stopped near the window. “And?”“And he is struggling,” she added. “The elders are resisting him. The council is divided.”I scoffed softly. “Of course they are. Power always fights back before it settles.”She nodded quickly. “That is what I thought as well.”I resumed pacing, the hem of my robe whispering against the floor. “If Quinn were comfortable already, then we would have failed,” I said. “Pressure shapes obedience.”“Yes, my lady.”There was a pause. Too long.I turned. “You’re holding something back.”The maid hesitated, then took a breath. “Elder Neil has been acting strangely,” she said. “He
