Xenia’s POV

Griffin doesn’t look at me anymore.

Not even accidentally.

There was a time when it felt automatic, like he sensed me before he saw me. A glance that lingered too long. A pause where he registered my presence even if he pretended not to care. Now there’s nothing. I could stand right in front of him and he’d walk past like I’m part of the wall.

That’s new.

And it irritates me more than it should.

I lean against the hallway window and watch him cross the courtyard with Lena. He walks close to her, close enough that his shoulder almost brushes hers, like the space between them doesn’t exist anymore. His posture is easy. Relaxed. Griffin never relaxes unless he thinks he’s safe.

She makes him feel that way.

Not because she’s better. Not because she earned it. Something else chose her first, and people hate admitting that part. They like neat explanations. They like believing affection and power are fair things.

They’re not.

I turn away before anyone notices me watching. Timing

  • Chasing My Hockey Alpha    The Dream

    Lena’s POVI didn’t fall asleep.At least, it didn’t feel like sleep.One second I was lying in my bed, staring at the ceiling, counting the tiny cracks in the paint like I always do when my thoughts won’t shut up. The next second, the world tilted. Not slowly. Not gently. It was like someone grabbed me and yanked.I sucked in a sharp breath.And I was standing on cold stone.Barefoot.I looked down first. That was my mistake. The floor was smooth and gray, stretching too far in every direction. No walls. No doors. Just space. My toes curled automatically, like I could grip the stone and ground myself.The air felt heavy. Thick. Like breathing through fog.I lifted my head.The sky wasn’t really a sky. It was dark, but not night-dark. More like pressure-dark. Like something big was sitting on it. The moon hung right in the middle, full and bright, but it didn’t glow the way it always had before.It watched.That was the only way I could describe it.“Hello?” I called out.My voice ech

  • Chasing My Hockey Alpha    Things He Wouldn’t Say

    Lena’s POVI didn’t plan to confront my father that morning.It just… happened.I was already tense when I woke up. That weird tight feeling in my chest wouldn’t leave, like something unfinished was sitting right there, waiting for me to notice it. Griffin was already gone for patrol, Ryker had sent me a short message saying he’d be busy all day, and suddenly the house felt too quiet.That’s when I remembered my father.How he’d spoken at the council meeting.How calm he’d been.Too calm.I found him in his study. Same place he always hid when he didn’t want to deal with people. Books stacked everywhere. Old papers. The window cracked open even though it was cold.He looked up when I stepped in.“Oh,” he said, surprised. “You’re up early.”“So are you,” I replied.He nodded and went back to the document in his hands. Didn’t invite me in. Didn’t tell me to leave either.That was the first sign.I closed the door behind me. “We need to talk.”His shoulders stiffened just a little. Barel

  • Chasing My Hockey Alpha    Old Magic

    Ryker’s POVI don’t sleep much anymore.Not because I’m busy. Not because of patrols or Keeper work stacking up. People assume that’s the reason, and maybe it’s easier for them to think so. But it’s not that. It’s the silence. When you grow up a Keeper, you learn early that silence isn’t peaceful. Silence means something is hidden. And right now… everything is too quiet. And I didn't like it. I had never been a fan of calms before a storm and now, it looked like a huge one was coming. The library has been sealed since the attack. That alone is a problem.I stand in the east wing of the archive with my hands shoved deep in my coat pockets, staring at the door like it might move first. Stone frame. Old runes carved so deep they feel permanent. A faint glow curls under the cracks, visible only to people like me.It looks normal.That’s how I know it isn’t.“Still pacing?” a voice says behind me.I don’t turn. “Still pretending this is nothing?”Hale steps beside me. Taller. Older. Calm

  • Chasing My Hockey Alpha    Keeper

    Ryker's POVI hated mornings at school.Not because of classes. Not because of people. It was that low hum under my skin. The sense that something was shifting, something I couldn’t name yet. And it felt like I was standing on the edge of it, waiting for it to tip.I stood by my locker, flipping through a book I wasn’t really reading. Marcus came up beside me, hands in his pockets, casual but aware of the tension radiating from me.“You look like crap,” he said.“Good morning to you too,” I replied.He leaned on the locker next to mine. “No, seriously. You look like you haven’t slept.”“I slept,” I said. “Didn’t rest.”“That makes no sense.”“It does if you’re a Keeper,” I said.Marcus snorted. “Ancient bloodline problems. Must be exhausting.”I shrugged. “Ever get the feeling everyone’s standing on thin ice and they don’t even hear it cracking?”“That dramatic, huh?”“Yes.”We walked down the hallway, stepping around groups of students. Laughter, gossip, announcements about finals, p

  • Chasing My Hockey Alpha    Back to Reality

    Griffin’s POVSchool felt wrong the moment I stepped onto campus.Not dangerous. Not hostile. Just… off.The courtyard was loud like always. Lockers slamming. People laughing too hard. Someone yelling about an exam they didn’t study for. Normal stuff. But my wolf was restless under my skin, pacing like it didn’t trust any of it. “Is something going on that I don't know about?” I muttered to myself as I adjusted the strap of my bag on my shoulder and kept walking.“Griffin!”I turned and saw Marcus jogging toward me, hair still damp like he’d just rushed out of the showers. He looked relieved when he saw me, which told me everything.“Thought you weren’t coming,” he said.“I thought about skipping,” I replied.He snorted. “Figures. After what happened?”I stopped walking. “What happened?”Marcus slowed too, then glanced around like the ground might be listening. “You seriously don’t know?”That set my wolf off. I didn't like surprises or bad news. Whatever he was going to say had bett
