FAKING IT ON ICE: DATING THE SPORT KING 131
MIKKAI watched the security footage Seven had sent me for the fourth time, pausing it whenever the figure passed beneath a light. At first, I had been certain it was Silas because the face, height, and build looked exactly like Seven's younger brother, but something about the recording continued to trouble me. The figure moved with a strange stiffness, turning his head at sharp angles while carefully avoiding the cameras, almost as though he had studied their positions before entering the arena. When I compared the recording with the footage from the council gathering, the difference became impossible to ignore. Silas moved like someone who expected the world to make room for him, but the person in this video moved like someone pretending to be somebody else.I called Seven immediately."Have you watched the recording carefully?" I asked when he answered."More times than I can count. That's Silas, Mikka. I know my brother's face.""I know what you saw, but look at the way he moves.

SEVENI had spent years fighting for my place in professional hockey, sacrificing sleep, comfort, and almost everything else to become the player I wanted to be, but now I was being forced to choose between that dream and the territory my father had left behind. The announcement confirming that my next game would take place on the same day as the Alpha challenge felt like a cruel joke, especially because neither the council nor my hockey organization seemed willing to make things easier. If I missed the game, I could lose the chance to impress the scouts who might determine my future, but if I missed the challenge, the council could declare me unfit to rule and allow Blood Moon to claim my territory. I sat staring at the two dates on my phone, feeling as though every decision I had made since discovering my true identity had brought me to this impossible moment."Maybe I should leave hockey," I finally said.Mikka, who had been studying the documents spread across the table, raised he

MIKKAThe moment Seven showed me the payment records, I understood why he wanted to confront Silas immediately, but I wasn't ready to accept that his brother had deliberately tried to destroy his hockey career. The account carried Silas's name, and the money appeared to have come from someone connected to Blood Moon, but we had already discovered how easily people could be manipulated in this war. Someone had arranged the attack on Seven's family years ago, helped install the false Alpha, and possibly used Silas's pain to turn the brothers against each other. I refused to believe that we should ignore all those connections simply because one document seemed to point directly at Silas."He's gone too far this time," Seven said, pacing across the room with the records clenched in his hand. "First, he challenges me for our father's territory, and now someone is paying players to provoke me on the ice. How much more evidence do I need before I accept that he's trying to take everything fr

SEVENThe moment I stepped onto the ice, I knew I had no room for mistakes. My coach had given me a few games to prove that I still deserved my place on the team, and after everything that had happened during practice, I could not afford another failure. The note I had found in my locker remained in the back of my mind, reminding me that someone knew about my family and wanted my crown. I tried to push the thought away as I tightened my gloves and looked toward the opposing team, determined to prove that the wolf inside me had not destroyed the hockey player I had worked so hard to become.The opening minutes were harder than I expected because my opponents seemed determined to take advantage of every weakness I had developed during my absence. They crowded me whenever I carried the puck, blocked my passing lanes, and forced me toward the boards whenever I tried to move into open space. I lost possession twice and missed a chance to set up a teammate, drawing an irritated shout from m

MIKKAI had barely finished reviewing the evidence Seraphina had collected when I received a message that made me forget everything I was doing. Levi had been asking questions about Seven's family, his return to Toronto, and the strange events surrounding his sudden absence from the hockey team. At first, I thought he was simply worried about Seven, but then I learned that he had spoken to people connected to the hockey organization without explaining what he wanted. After everything we had discovered about Blood Moon and the people working behind the scenes, I could no longer afford to believe that suspicious behavior was harmless. I closed the documents in front of me, grabbed my coat, and headed straight for the arena to find him before he disappeared again.I found Levi near the players' entrance, talking on his phone, and he quickly ended the call when he saw me approaching. The sudden movement caught my attention, especially when he slipped his phone into his pocket and tried to

SEVENToronto looked exactly as I remembered it, but returning to the city felt like stepping into a life that no longer belonged to me. The streets were crowded, the traffic was loud, and people hurried past one another without caring about the battles happening beyond their own little worlds. I had spent weeks fighting to reclaim my father's territory, dealing with the Blood Moon Alpha, and discovering that my younger brother was alive but wanted to take everything from me. Yet, as I stood outside the hockey organization's headquarters, I realized that I was about to fight for something I had chosen long before I knew I was an Alpha. Hockey had given me a purpose before my family name became a burden, and I wasn't ready to let it go without a fight.My coach was waiting inside the conference room with two senior members of management, and none of them looked pleased to see me. A folder lay open on the table, filled with records of my missed practices, unanswered messages, and the ga
