FAKING IT ON ICE: DATING THE SPORT KING 124
CHAPTER 124MIKKAI had never seen Seven look at his father with so much hurt and disappointment, and the sight made my chest ache because I knew how much he had suffered already. His father sat beside the window, looking like a man who had finally run out of excuses, but I was not ready to let him hide behind another warning about danger. He had admitted that he knew Silas was alive, and that truth had changed everything we thought we understood about the past. Seven had spent years believing his younger brother was dead, while Silas had grown up believing his family had abandoned him, and all that time, their father had kept the truth to himself. I moved closer to the table and placed both hands on it, making sure the older man looked at me before I spoke."You cannot end this conversation by telling us you were trying to protect your sons," I said. "We need to know what happened, who took Silas, and why you never told Seven what you discovered."Seven's father lowered his eyes."I

CHAPTER 123SEVENI could not get Silas's face out of my mind after leaving the council hall, and no matter how hard I tried to focus on the challenge ahead, my thoughts kept returning to the little brother I had believed was dead. I remembered pieces of the attack that destroyed our family, the shouting, the smoke, and our father's desperate voice ordering us to run, but everything after that was a blur. I had spent years wondering what happened to Silas, and there had been nights when I dreamed he was still alive somewhere, waiting for me to find him. Now he was alive, standing beside the enemy who wanted to take my territory, and he looked at me as if I were the person who had ruined his life. I could not change what had happened between us, but I needed to hear his side of the story without the council watching us.I found him outside a guarded building near the edge of the council grounds, surrounded by Blood Moon warriors who watched me approach with their hands close to their w

MIKKAI had been watching Seven closely since the Blood Moon Alpha announced his representative, and the moment the young wolf stepped forward, I saw something change in Seven's face. Until then, he had remained calm despite the council's threats, the challenge, and the evidence Seraphina had given him, but now he looked as if someone had reached inside his chest and torn something open. The stranger had Seven's eyes, the same strong jaw, and a familiar shape to his face that reminded me of the old family portraits I had seen in his father's room. Seven's father had gone completely still, staring at the young man with an expression I had never seen on him before. It was not anger or fear alone; it was the look of someone seeing a person he had spent years believing he would never see again."Silas?" Seven's father whispered.The young wolf finally turned toward him, and something cold passed across his face."So you remember me."A strange silence fell over the council chamber, and I

SEVENThe council's announcement followed me even after the meeting resumed, and I could feel the eyes of the neighboring Alphas watching me as if they were waiting for me to make a mistake. I had reclaimed my father's territory and defeated the man who stole it, yet these people were treating my right to rule as something I still needed to earn. The council's rules left me with two choices, and neither offered a clear path forward. If I rejected Blood Moon's challenge, they could declare me unfit to rule, but if I accepted and lost, I would hand my family's territory to the very enemy threatening us. I looked at the proposed conditions on the table and wondered how many of these powerful men had known about the challenge before I entered the hall."Have you made your decision yet, Alpha Seven?" the council elder asked.I lifted my eyes."I have decided that I will not be rushed into a decision that could destroy an entire territory.""The challenge is recognized under our laws. Refus

SEVENThe moment I arrived at the council hall, I knew I was walking into a fight that had nothing to do with claws or teeth. The room was filled with powerful Alphas, their advisers, and warriors who stood behind them like silent warnings, while the air carried the heavy feeling of people who had already decided how the meeting would end. I kept my shoulders straight as I walked toward the seat reserved for me, refusing to show how much their cold stares bothered me. I had reclaimed my father's territory, but these people had decided to treat my return as if I had committed a crime. If they wanted to challenge my right to lead, they would have to do it openly instead of hiding their intentions behind polite words."Alpha Seven," an older man said as I sat down. "We appreciate your willingness to appear before this council.""Then I hope you are equally willing to hear the truth," I replied.A few Alphas exchanged looks, but the man only gave me a thin smile."We are here to discuss y

MIKKAI read the council's notice for the third time, hoping I would find something that made the situation less dangerous, but the message remained the same. Seven had seven days to appear before the neighboring Alphas and answer for reclaiming his father's territory, or they would declare him an enemy of every pack represented at the gathering. The more I thought about it, the more I realized they were not simply asking him to explain himself. They wanted him to accept their authority before recognizing his right to rule, and I suspected they intended to use the meeting to weaken his independence without openly declaring war. I folded the notice and looked at Seven, who had been watching me silently."They are not inviting you to a meeting," I said. "They are trying to remind you that they can make your life difficult if you refuse to obey them."Seven leaned back, his jaw tightening."If I attend, they may try to control my territory. If I refuse, they will use it as an excuse to c
