SEVEN

I took the phone from Mom with shaking hands, unable to pull my eyes away from the photograph. I stared at the man standing inside that old stone room until my eyes began to hurt, but I still could not look away because some part of me was afraid that if I blinked, he would disappear again. There was no doubt in my mind anymore, even though his face had changed with age and his hair was longer than I remembered from the old photographs. It was my father, and for the first time in years, I

  • FAKING IT ON ICE: DATING THE SPORT KING   95: The Exact Word

    MIKKAI remained quiet after Seven said the words, because I didn't want to answer too quickly and then realize later that I had spoken from fear or excitement instead of my heart. The word mate had been sitting somewhere in the back of my mind since the mark appeared on my hand, but hearing Seven say it out loud right now made everything feel much more real. I looked at him standing in front of me, still breathing heavily after the attack, his hair messy and his clothes damaged, and I realized that I wasn't looking at a stranger or some dangerous creature from another world. I was looking at Seven, the same man I had slowly gotten to know long before I ever learned that wolves were real.“Look, Seven. I know something powerful has connected us,” I finally said. “But I need you to understand something before we go any further.”Seven watched me carefully.“I don't want this bond to become a reason for you to control me,” I continued. “I don't want you deciding where I go, who I talk t

  • FAKING IT ON ICE: DATING THE SPORT KING   94: You Are The One

    SEVENThe moment my eyes met Mikka's, everything inside me went completely still. Only a few seconds earlier, my wolf had been burning with anger, focused on the attackers and ready to destroy anything that came near her, but now I couldn't think about them anymore. All I could see was Mikka standing beneath the pale moonlight, her eyes wide as she stared at the creature I had spent my whole life believing didn't exist. I expected her to scream, run away, or look at me like I had suddenly become a monster, but she did none of those things.She simply stood there.I slowly stepped backward, my heart suddenly beating harder than it had during the fight. My claws were still out, dark fur covered parts of my body, and I could feel the wolf moving beneath my skin like it was waiting for me to lose control again. For the first time since the attackers arrived, I was afraid, but this fear had nothing to do with the Blood Moon wolves. I was afraid of what Mikka was thinking about me.“Mikka…”

  • FAKING IT ON ICE: DATING THE SPORT KING   93: Stop It

    MIKKAI barely had time to understand what Seven meant before every light outside the estate suddenly went dark. The warm glow that had filled the windows disappeared, leaving the property covered in a darkness that felt completely wrong. My heart jumped into my throat as I looked toward the windows, trying to see anything beyond the glass, but the rain and darkness made it impossible. Somewhere beside me, Seven went completely still, and the change in his face made fear crawl slowly down my spine.“Seven, what did you—”“Shh!”His voice was low and serious, and before I could ask another question, Maya rushed into the room. She looked toward the dark windows, then toward Seven, and I saw the fear she was trying to hide. That frightened me more than the darkness because Maya had spent days preparing us for danger, yet now she looked like she had just realized the danger had arrived. Then a loud crash came from somewhere near the front of the property, followed by the sound of metal br

    SEVENTraining became exhausting almost immediately, and by the third day, I started wondering if my body had decided to hate me. Mom pushed me harder than she ever had before, making me repeat the same movements until my arms shook and my legs felt too heavy to lift. She taught me how to let out my claws without allowing anger to control them, how to let my eyes change without letting the wolf take over, and how to use my strength without forgetting that I was still in control of my body. Every mistake meant starting again, and every time I complained, Mom reminded me that the Alpha trial would not care if I was tired.“You won't always have the chance to rest when you are fighting.”“I know.”“Then you have to stop resisting your training.”I wiped the sweat from my forehead and looked at her.“It's easy for you to say.”My mother smiled but said nothing else.The most exhausting part of all of this was that I had only a few days, maybe weeks, and the Blood Moon Alpha had probably s

  • FAKING IT ON ICE: DATING THE SPORT KING   91: If He Loses

    MIKKAI remained restless after the Blood Moon Alpha left. His challenge kept playing in my mind, especially the way he had looked at Seven when he said the words, as though he already knew how the fight would end. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Seven standing across from a wolf who had years of experience while Seven had only just discovered what he was. The thought made my chest tighten, but I refused to let fear control me because Seven needed someone beside him who could think clearly. If he was going to step into that trial, then I was going to make sure he understood exactly what he was walking into.Mara sat across from us at the dining table, several old books spread open between us. The pages were yellow and worn, and some of the writing looked so old that I could barely understand it, but Mara seemed to know exactly what she was looking for. She explained that an Alpha trial was not simply a fight where the strongest wolf won, because the old rules tested much more than

  • FAKING IT ON ICE: DATING THE SPORT KING   90: Prepare Yourself

    SEVENThe moment the Alpha said he had been waiting for Mikka, something inside me snapped. I stepped forward before I could think, my body moving on instinct while the wolf inside me pushed hard against my control. The anger that filled my chest was so strong that I could hear my own heartbeat pounding in my ears, but I forced myself to stay in control because I refused to give this man the satisfaction of watching me lose myself. He had come to my home, threatened my family, spoken about Mikka as if she were part of some plan he had created years ago.“What do you want from her?”The Alpha's mouth curved into a small smile.“Your temper is exactly what I expected from your father's son.”“Don't talk about my father like you knew him.”“I knew him very well, Seven,” he replied. “Way more than you think.”“Then tell me what happened to him.”The smile slowly disappeared from the Alpha's face, and for the first time, I saw something serious in his eyes. He looked at me for several seco
