Zane's POV

The day breaks too quickly. Kaidora wakes in my arms, and for a brief moment, before reality crashes back in, she looks happy and peaceful.

Then she remembers what today is, and the peace shatters.

“It's time,” she whispers.

We're separated immediately after breakfast. Kaidora is taken away by the elder females for final preparations, and I'm taken to the Alpha's quarters where my father and the male elders wait.

The day passes in a blur of ritual and tradition. Ceremonial bath. Blessings. Last-minute instructions about pack leadership and sacred duties. Every moment feels like it's pulling me closer to an edge I can't see.

Marcus finds me in the late afternoon, when I have a brief moment alone. “How are you holding up?”

“I'm terrified.” The admission comes easier with him than it would with anyone else. “Marcus, what if it doesn't work? What if everyone sees the marking fail…”

“Then we deal with it.” He grips my shoulder. “But Zane, you need to prepare for the possibility

  • Fake Dating The Alpha Hockey Player    Chapitre One Hundred and Six

    Warren's POVI drive faster than I should, my hands gripping the steering wheel so tight my knuckles are white.Three days. Zane said we have three days before Father performs some ritual that will kill Kaidora. Three days to figure out how to stop an Alpha who's spent a decade planning this moment. My phone rings through the car's speakers. Marcus.“Where are you?” he asks sharply. “Zane texted me. Said your father has Kaidora locked up and—”“I'm five minutes from the pack house.” I take a turn too fast, tires squealing. "Father has Zane locked in the guest quarters. Guards posted outside. We need to get him out first.”“And then what? Storm the cells? Fight our way past pack security?” Marcus's voice is strained. “Warren, your father is an Alpha. We can't just—”“I know what he is.” My jaw clenches. “I also know he's planning to murder an innocent girl in three days. So we're going to stop him. Whatever it takes.”Silence on the other end. Then, “You're talking about going against

  • Fake Dating The Alpha Hockey Player    Chapter One Hundred and Five

    Kaidora's POVThe silence after they take Zane is suffocating.I collapse against the cold stone wall, my body shaking so violently I can barely breathe. Through the bond, I feel him— distant now, but still there. His rage. His terror. His desperate determination that feels futile against the reality of our situation.The cell is small, maybe eight by ten feet. Stone walls on all sides. No windows. No vents. Just a heavy metal door with a lock I have no hope of picking.I force myself to stand, to examine every inch of the space. Looking for weaknesses. For anything I could use to escape or fight or…Nothing. There's nothing.The walls are solid stone, ancient and unyielding. The door is thick steel with no handle on this side. Even the light bulb is recessed into the ceiling, too high to reach, protected by a metal cage.It's a cell designed to hold wolves, creatures with superhuman strength and enhanced senses. What chance does a human girl have against that?No chance. No chance at

    Zane's POVThey're dragging me away from her.Away from Kaidora, whose terror floods the bond so intensely I can barely breathe. Away from my mate, who my father just admitted he's going to use, going to drain, going to sacrifice. “No!” I thrash against the guards' grip, Darko surging forward with desperate fury. “Let me go! Kai!” “Zane!” Her scream echoes down the corridor, raw with panic and despair. “Zane, please—”But they're stronger than me. Or maybe I'm just weakened by my father's Alpha command still pressing down on my wolf, making resistance almost impossible.They haul me up stairs I don't recognize, through hallways I've never seen. The secret passages of the pack house. The places where Alphas conduct business that can't see daylight.The places where people disappear.“Please.” The word tears from my throat as they shove me into a room on the third floor. “Please, don't do this. She's my mate. She's—”The door slams shut. The lock clicks.Silence.I'm alone in what loo

  • Fake Dating The Alpha Hockey Player    Chapter One Hundred and Three

    Alpha Rowan's POVTen years!Ten years of hunger. Ten years of feeding on other wolves just to keep Brutus from fading completely, of slowly dying while maintaining the facade of a strong, healthy Alpha.And finally, finally, the solution is locked in a cell beneath my pack house.I lean against the wall outside the holding cells, allowing myself a moment of pure satisfaction. The girl. Kaidora Hayes. Human. Impossible. And yet, the moment I saw her in my study weeks ago, Brutus surged with more life than he's had in a decade.‘She's the key,’ he'd snarled. ‘She's what we need.’At first, I didn't understand. Didn't understand why a wolfless omega— or what I thought was a wolfless omega— would affect my curse so strongly. But then the pieces started falling into place.Her scent, always masked with heavy perfumes and oils. Her inability to respond to Alpha commands the way a true wolf would. The way she moved through pack territory like someone searching for something specific.But he

  • Fake Dating The Alpha Hockey Player    Chapter One Hundred and Two

    Kaidora's POVThe cell they throw us into is deep underground, somewhere beneath the pack house that I never knew existed.Cold stone walls. No windows. A single flickering light bulb that casts shadows that make everything look like a nightmare. The air smells damp and stale, like this place hasn't been used in years.Or maybe it has, and no one who came down here ever left to tell about it.The guards— faceless pack members I don't recognize— lock the heavy metal door behind us without a word. Their expressions are carefully blank, like they've done this before. Like imprisoning the future Alpha and his mate is just another day's work.The sound of the lock sliding into place echoes in the small space, final and damning.We're trapped.I lean against the wall, my legs suddenly unable to support my weight. The journal— that damning, precious journal— was ripped from my hands the moment the guards entered the study. Evidence of Alpha Rowan's guilt, now back in his possession where it

  • Fake Dating The Alpha Hockey Player    Chapter One Hundred and One

    Zane's POVLunch with Kaidora is supposed to be our last moment of peace before everything goes to hell.Instead, it feels like a funeral for a life we never really got to live.We sit in a quiet corner of the off-campus diner, the same place where we had our first date when this whole arrangement was still fake. Back when I thought I could use her to solve my problems and walk away unscathed.Now I can't imagine walking away at all, can't imagine a life without her in it.“You're staring,” she says quietly, pushing her barely-touched salad around her plate.“I'm memorizing.” The truth comes easily. “Just in case.”“Don't.” Her blue eyes meet mine, pain written across her features. “Don't talk like that. We're going to survive this.”“Are we?” I set down my fork, appetite gone. “Kai, we're about to walk into my father's study and accuse him of murder. With incomplete evidence and no backup plan. The odds of us walking out alive are—”“Better than zero.” She interrupts, reaching across
