Fake Dating The Alpha Hockey Player Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Four
Kaidora's POV The morning of the ceremony, Zane is gone from the bed before I wake. Pack tradition, Elder Hana informed me gravely during the preparation briefing: the Alpha and Luna do not see each other on ceremony morning until the rite itself. They spend the morning with their respective people— Alpha with his inner circle and the pack elders, Luna with her attendants— and come to each other for the first time in the ceremonial space. I accepted this without argument, though I notice the absence of the mate bond's warmth more acutely than I expected to. Not its disappearance— it doesn't disappear, it hums steadily at the back of my chest as always— just the absence of his physical presence. I've become, without fully tracking it, accustomed to him being in the same room. Mira arrives at eight with tea and a gentle, organized efficiency, and behind her come Daria, who I did not know was on the attendant list but who shows up with the confidence of someone who assigned herself

Warren's POVWe're an hour into the drive back when Zane says, "We did it."Not triumphantly. Just quietly. Like something he needed to say out loud to make it fully real."We did it," I confirm.Kaidora is in the front seat, turned slightly toward the window, with the look she gets when she's processing something interior. She hasn't said much since we left the lodge. I've been sitting with my own quiet in the back, watching the border forest give way to the territory I've known my whole life."Elan," Kaidora says, without turning from the window."I'll reach out," I say. "Tonight.""Tell him—" She pauses. "Tell him what Zane said. That there's a place in Bluecrest if he needs it.""I will."Zane glances at me in the rearview mirror.I look out the window and think about Elan in the coffee shop, thin and tired and doing what he could with what he had. About my father's files, meticulously organized, full of leverage and covers and information weaponized against wolves who should have

Kaidora's POVWe sign the agreement at four in the afternoon. It's a formal document— three pages, witnessed by Soren and Daren's advisor, copied twice for each pack's official records. The language is precise and complete and leaves nothing to interpretation because we spent four hours making sure it didn't.When Daren signs it, his hand is slightly unsteady. He doesn't apologize for this. He signs clearly and sets the pen down and looks at the document for a moment with the expression of someone completing something they have needed to complete for a very long time.I watch his face and think about my father looking at his research. About what it means to know your time is limited and choose to spend it on the thing that will outlast you.After the signing, while Warren and the advisor handle the documentation logistics and Soren is in quiet conversation with Daren's senior council member, Daren finds me near the window.He moves slowly, carefully, with the particular economy of som

Zane's POVAlpha Daren negotiates the way he leads. No performance. No posturing. He puts the territorial history on the table with the flat precision of someone who has been carrying it for fourteen years and is done pretending it isn't there. He says, directly and without softening it, that the settlement was unjust. That his pack was wronged. That he has known this every day since and made the decision not to act on it because the Alpha across the table from him would have used any action as justification for something worse.He says all of this looking at me, not at his documentation, not at his hands."I am not here to relitigate the past," he says. "I am here because you sent a letter acknowledging it, which is the first honest communication that has come from Bluecrest in fourteen years. I want to know if the honesty is structural or situational.""Structural," I say."Tell me why I should believe that."Kaidora doesn't move beside me. She's been still since we sat down— presen

Zane's POVThe morning of the meeting is cold and clear.I'm up before dawn, which is not unusual. I sit with coffee at the kitchen table and go through the framework one more time— not because I don't know it, I know it completely, but because the act of reading it settles something. Tells my brain we are prepared, we have done the work, we are not walking in blind.Kaidora comes down at five-thirty, already dressed, her hair back, the particular quality of stillness about her that I've learned to read as focused rather than distant. She pours coffee and sits across from me without speaking.We sit for a while in the morning quiet."Ready?" I ask."Yes." No hesitation. "You?""Yes."She nods. Looks out the window at the dark that's starting to thin at the eastern edge."Daren Varden is going to read you the moment you walk in," she says. "Before any formal language. He's been reading Alphas for thirty-four years. He'll know within thirty seconds whether you're the real thing.""I kno

Warren's POVThe Varden meeting proposal arrives on Sunday evening. Neutral ground— a lodge in the border territory that both packs have used for inter-pack negotiations before, apparently. The date they're proposing is ten days out. The representative listed as attending from the Varden side is not Cael.It's Alpha Daren Varden himself.I read that three times before I believe it."He's coming personally," I say.Zane is already reading over my shoulder. "He's sick," he says carefully. "Seriously sick, according to Elan. And he's coming himself.""That's either a show of strength or a show of something else," Kaidora says from across the table."Or both," I say. "A dying Alpha making a personal appearance at a negotiation his son doesn't want him to make." I set the letter down. "He's trying to resolve it before he can't."Silence in the room."He knows about Cael," Kaidora says. Not a question."I think he's known for a while," I say. "And I think this is him doing what he can about

Kaidora's POVThe afternoon drags by with painful slowness. Summer remains stationed by the window, scrolling through her phone and occasionally glancing at me like I might try to escape at any moment, which is ridiculous. Where would I even go? The entire pack house is crawling with wolves who wou

Kaidora's POVSummer leaves reluctantly, throwing one last suspicious glance over her shoulder before closing the door. The click of the latch feels final, sealing Zane and me in the suite alone.“How are you feeling?” Zane asks, his hands still framing my face.“I don't know.” The truth comes easi

Kaidora's POVMorning light filters through the ceremonial suite's windows, pulling me from restless sleep. My body aches in places I didn't know could hurt, exhaustion bone-deep after last night's celebration that stretched until nearly dawn.Beside me, Zane sleeps peacefully, one arm draped acros

Zane’s POV This is wrong. The thought repeats in my head as Kaidora's hands pull at my shirt, her lips demanding against mine. Every instinct I possess screams that I should stop this, should pull away before I take advantage of her when she's not in control.But her scent— Goddess, her scent— fil
