FALLING FOR MY FORGOTTEN HOCKEY STEPBROTHER MOTHER’S RETURN
Alicia POVCole caught me at the door."Don't," he warned. "Whatever you're thinking, don't.""I'm thinking Desmond lied to me and I want to know why.""He had reasons.""Then he can explain them. Move."Cole didn't budge. "The challenge is in six hours. You both going rogue doesn't help anyone.""Neither does sitting here wondering what secrets he's keeping." I stepped closer. "Move, or I'll find another way there."He studied my face, then sighed and stepped aside. "You're as stubborn as he said.""Keys.""Already holding them." He dangled them. "I'm driving."The campus was quiet this time of day. Most students were in class or at lunch. We parked near the old hockey rink, the one they'd stopped using when the new arena opened.Desmond's truck sat alone in the lot."Stay in the car," Cole said."No.""Alicia…""I'm not weak." I got out before he could argue.The rink entrance was unlocked. Voices echoed from the main rink area."—can't ask me to do this." Desmond's voice straine
FALLING FOR MY FORGOTTEN HOCKEY STEPBROTHER WITNESS
Alicia POV Maren's phone continued to shake in her hands, the red recording light still blinking. Wolves circled closer, low growls rumbling through the clearing. "Maren, put the phone down," I said as calmly as I could. "Are you insane? These things just… people just turned into…" Her voice climbed higher. "What is happening?" "I'll explain everything. I promise. Just put the phone down." "Not until someone tells me why my best friend is in the middle of a forest surrounded by monsters!" A wolf snapped its jaws. Maren jumped back, nearly dropping the phone. "How did you even find me?" I asked, trying to keep her focused on me instead of the wolves. "Your location! We share locations, remember?" She was breathing too fast. "I saw you hadn't been home, weren't answering texts. Got worried. Followed the GPS and found… this." Desmond shifted back to human. Someone tossed him pants from the sideline. "Maren Cooper," he said quietly. "We need you to stay calm." "Calm? CALM?" She
FALLING FOR MY FORGOTTEN HOCKEY STEPBROTHER THE FIRST CHALLENGE
Alicia POV Kira led me to a training room behind the main hall. It was empty except for practice mats and weapons I didn't recognize mounted on the walls. "Three hours isn't enough time to teach you to fight," she said. "But it's enough to teach you to survive." "What's the difference?" "Fighting is offense. Survival is knowing when to hold still, when to run, when to make yourself small or big depending on what's hunting you." She circled me slowly. "Close your eyes." "Why?" "Because wolves don't rely on sight alone. Close them." I did. "What do you hear?" I listened. "Your footsteps. Your breathing." "What else?" I focused harder. "Someone outside. Voices. And... water? Running water somewhere." "Good. Now smell." I inhaled. Pine. Smoke. Something metallic. "Blood?" "From Desmond's clothes. He's been bleeding." She moved closer. I could feel her presence even with my eyes closed. "Now tell me where I am." "Three feet to my right." "Open your eyes." I did. She stood
FALLING FOR MY FORGOTTEN HOCKEY STEPBROTHER BLOODMOON LEGACY
Desmond POV Cole's hands were steady on the wheel, but his knuckles were white. We'd been driving for ninety minutes, and Alicia hadn't opened her eyes in the last twenty. She lay across the backseat with her head in my lap, skin burning hot, breath coming in shallow gasps. Blood had finally stopped flowing from her nose and ears, but now her veins showed dark beneath her skin. "How much longer?" I asked. "Thirty minutes. Maybe less if I ignore speed limits." "Ignore them." Jaxon sat in the passenger seat, watching the GPS. "We're about to cross into Bloodmoon territory." My wolf stirred uneasily. Entering another pack's land without permission was dangerous. Entering Bloodmoon land with Sarah's daughter, the daughter who'd never been presented to the pack, was suicide. "They'll smell us the second we cross the border," I said. "I know." Cole pressed harder on the gas. "Kira knows we're coming. She said she'd meet us at the gate." "And if she changed her mind?" "Then we fig
FALLING FOR MY FORGOTTEN HOCKEY STEPBROTHER FATHER’S CONFESSION
Alicia POVThe headlights cut through the cabin windows. I counted three vehicles—Dad's rental car and two police cruisers.My stomach dropped."He actually brought cops," I whispered.Desmond moved to the window, keeping to the shadows. "We can still run. Out the back, through the woods.""And then what? Spend my life running from my own father?""Better than the alternative."Jaxon appeared in the doorway, slightly out of breath. "They're surrounding the property.""Airport security," Desmond muttered. "David wasn't joking."A car door slammed. Then another. "Alicia!" Dad called. "I know you're in there. Please, baby. Just come out and talk to me."I moved toward the door. Desmond grabbed my arm."Don't.""He's my father.""He's compromised. Matthew's using him.""He's scared!" I pulled free. "There's a difference."Before Desmond could stop me, I opened the door.Dad looked terrible. Hair disheveled, shirt untucked, eyes red. "Alicia." Relief flooded his face. He started forward
FALLING FOR MY FORGOTTEN HOCKEY STEPBROTHER THE HUNT BEGINS
Alicia POV Six wolves formed a perfect circle around us, teeth bared, eyes glowing in the headlights. I couldn't breathe properly. My brain kept trying to tell me this wasn't real, that people didn't turn into animals. But here we were. Lena stood in the center of it all, still human, perfectly calm. She wore designer jeans and a leather jacket. "You know the rules, Desmond." Her voice echoed across the parking lot. "Matthew's called a formal Hunt. Three challenges, three days." Desmond's hand found mine behind his back. His palm was burning hot. "This is illegal. She's not pack." "Her bloodline says otherwise." Lena smiled. "Bloodmoon royalty trumps human registration. Matthew researched thoroughly." "I don't care what Matthew researched. Alicia's under my protection." "For now." Lena examined her nails. "But if you fail even one challenge, she becomes pack property. Available to the strongest wolf." She looked directly at me. "That would be me, currently." My stomach turned.
