Fake Dating The Alpha Hockey Captain Chapter 131: Sebastian Again?
SierraWith a sharp motion he lashed out at Asher, driving him off balance, after that his eyes found mine once more.He slipped up right there.His gaze landed on me like I was just a gap in the defense.A sliver of wood rested near my toes, heavy, splintered, just a chunk of box with a cracked tip. From the ground it came into my hand, almost on its own.Off he came, moving my way.The aound of Asher calling snapped through the air, yet everything else blurred into motion and reflex. Dorian charged forward, speed cutting across dirt - maybe aiming to grab hold before anyone reached us, maybe betting on using my body as a shield, maybe just eager to complete what that toxin started. No time sat between thought and action. When his shape filled the space near mine, the wooden board arced upward, driven by arms working together without asking permission.A sharp sound split the air when it hit his cheek - so loud it startled my own ears.He reeled.Up first was Jace. Smacking sideways
Fake Dating The Alpha Hockey Captain Chapter 130: The Back Passage
SIERRAFootsteps echoed off the walls, sharp as gunfire, each thud pulling at something deep. For just a breath, legs twitched forward despite knowing better, pulled by instinct more than thought.“Sierra, don't,” Jace said grabbing my arm.“I am not a sack of grain,” I hissed, pulling against his grip.“No, you are worse. Grain listens.”My voice might have cracked sharp then, only my chest felt too tight with each beat. Ugly shadows jumped across the narrow stone, cast by the light he held. That rag Asher found wouldn’t leave me - still there, crisp in thought. Dorian left that mark. Maybe just a man dressed like him. Doesn’t matter now. The path isn’t dead anymore. Breathing. Shifting.A thud cut through the air, sharper than before, as if a body had knocked hard against wood.Footsteps paused. "Asher," I said, voice cutting through the quiet without warning.From where he stood, a sound cut through - tight, quiet, telling him to hold still.Like that’s ever going to happen.Faces
Fake Dating The Alpha Hockey Captain Chapter 129: We Still Don’t Know
“I defended her in my mind even after Rebecca warned us. I kept thinking there had to be another explanation.”“That does not make you foolish.”“It makes me blind.”“No.” His voice was firm now. “It makes you kind. The shame belongs to the people who used that kindness against you.”Something inside me shifted, a place I’d kept hidden.“Asher,” I said after a moment, “tell me the truth. If the poison did what they wanted, if I cannot give you an heir, what happens?”Quiet stretched so far ahead I already loathed what came next. He hadn’t spoken yet and the reply felt heavy in my chest.“The council would question my claim to the title.”“And us?”A gentle touch landed on my sleeve. “We stay just as we are.”I let out a small, humorless laugh. “That is a lovely thing to say in a palace where everything changes because of power.”He stepped in front of me, forcing me to meet his eyes. “Listen to me. Titles can be fought over. Councils can be challenged. Enemies can be buried. But you a
Fake Dating The Alpha Hockey Captain Chapter 128: The Enemy Inside
SIERRAThat night sleep stayed far from me. My mind kept wandering and no matter how hard I tried I wasn't at peace.It was as if something bad would happen again.A maid lay dead upstairs, her voice cut short before she named the hand meant to scar me. Peaceful? I wonder what would become of us during the next few days.Not far behind, Asher talked quietly with Jace by the doorway. Since I stopped talking, they assumed I wasn’t paying attention - wrong. Each whisper reached me. Men often mistake stillness for weakness. That idea never holds up. Stillness might mean a woman is collecting scattered fragments, shaping them into something strong.“The kitchen staff cannot leave the palace grounds,” Asher said.“They are already guarded,” Jace replied. “No one gets in or out without being searched.”“And the servants assigned to this wing?”“I placed two men at both ends of the hallway. They are watching everyone.”I turned my head slightly. “Watching everyone after someone already pois
Fake Dating The Alpha Hockey Captain Chapter 127: The Unknown Enemy
SIERRAFurniture stood cold under pale light - no warmth there. Silence pressed against the walls instead of laughter filling halls, it looked so odd and really, really unsettling.Inside these rooms, I stayed so long the patterns began to show themselves. Evening brought certain noises, never missing a beat. Hushed voices floated down hallways where servants moved with heavy plates. Shift changes at the gate meant laughter between soldiers, brief but clear. From far below, the rattle of kitchenware echoed after meals ended.Last night, the noises seemed to have changed.Muted and cautious.It was like the old walls knew, somehow, that a stranger now walked among them.Footsteps dragged behind me as Asher moved ahead, then Jace, both of them quiet while we passed the healer's door. Over and over, I heard what Micah had said - each word stuck like a burr beneath skin.Someone else took the step first.It stayed stuck, that line, repeating without permission.Weeks passed like that - ea

Asher.A hint of tension tugged at her gaze. She let the moment stretch, just a beat too long.“That’s half the palace.”“Then we question half the palace.”A faint itch made Jace drag his fingers across the nape of his neck.“This is going to cause panic.”“I don’t care,” I said.For just a beat, Sierra looked me over.“You do realize the real culprit will simply hide better once the questioning starts.”She was right.Framing Micah took planning - she’d been cautious, whoever slipped in the poison. Still unseen. Still steps ahead.They’d vanish the way she did before, should we push too hard.I exhaled slowly.“Then we do it quietly.”Jace’s eyebrows lifted.“That’s easier said than done.”“I didn’t say it would be easy.”Her arms crossed once more as Sierra studied us both.“What if Micah remembers the name tomorrow?” she asked.“That would solve several problems,” Jace said.“And if she doesn’t?”One moment passed without words. Silence held between us before either spoke.The mom
