Glinda POV

I forced a brighter smile and reached for another chip. “You’re right. Fun only. No more heavy stuff tonight.”

Ronnie grinned, already cueing up the next terrible episode, and the rest of the night blurred into laughter, half-eaten snacks, and the soft glow of the television until we both drifted off on the living-room floor, tangled in blankets.

But nonetheless, later in the night my bladder woke me and I slipped carefully out from under the shared blanket, careful not to wake Ronn

  • Fake Dating The Dangerous Hockey Brother    Chapter 158

    Glinda POVThe morning light came soft through the half-drawn curtains, gold and forgiving, the kind that made the previous night feel both distant and still warm under the skin. I woke first, cheek pressed to Ethan’s uninjured shoulder, the diamond studs cool against my lobe when I shifted. His breathing was even. The claw-mark ridges under my palm were only memory now, smooth enough that I could almost pretend the violence had never happened. Almost.We stayed like that for a long time. No rush. No lectures calling. The university schedule sat on the nightstand like an accusation neither of us wanted to answer. When he finally opened his eyes the gold at the edges caught the light the same way it had in the car the night before.“Skip,” I said.He didn’t ask what. He only nodded, thumb tracing the line of my hip under the sheet. “Beach house. The one my uncle never uses this time of year.”That was how it started. No grand declaration. Just the quiet decision to steal a day, then a

    Glinda POVEthan drove us back to his place without asking if that was where I wanted to go. I didn’t correct him. The black SUV hummed under us, the same vehicle that still felt too new, the same one he had given me the keys to on a birthday that now felt both recent and impossibly far away. When he parked and killed the engine the quiet settled heavy. Neither of us reached for the door right away.“I’m still scared,” I said into the dark.“I know.”“Of your father. Of the stranger. Of what Ronnie will do if you ever slip. Of what I might do if I keep choosing this.”He turned in the seat. The gold at the edges of his eyes caught the streetlight. “I’m scared too. Every day. But I’m still here if you are.”I got out first. He followed. Inside the house the new couch and the sealed floorboards still carried the ghost of blood and violence, but the air smelled only of the lemon cleaner he used and the faint spice of the takeout we had left unfinished days ago. He locked the door. I set

  • Fake Dating The Dangerous Hockey Brother    Chapter 156

    Glinda POVI told him the next evening.We were at his place again, the new couch still stiff under us, takeout containers open on the low table, the television muted on some documentary neither of us was watching. I had spent the day in lectures that felt farther away than usual, the poetry lines sliding off my attention while Ronnie’s voice kept replaying in my head. The disappointment. The quiet certainty that things like this always broke. The way she had looked at me like I was choosing the wrong kind of damage.Ethan sat with one arm along the back of the couch, not quite touching me, the way he still did when he wasn’t sure of the distance. I set my fork down and told him everything. The coffee I had brought. The blanket she had handed me. The way I started with the dinners and the nights and the theater, leaving out the exact shape of his mouth between my legs but not the fact that something had shifted. Then the rest…the blood, the claws, the blade, the ultimatum, the warni

  • Fake Dating The Dangerous Hockey Brother    Chapter 155

    Glinda POV “I’m not going anywhere tonight,” I said, the words quieter than I meant them to be. “You can sleep.”He didn’t answer right away. His fingers stayed laced with mine under the covers, the scrape of his calluses familiar now against my skin. He closed his eyes first and I watched the lines around them ease, the gold ring that sometimes showed when his control slipped fading back into ordinary brown. His breathing deepened slowly. I stayed awake a little longer, listening to the steady rhythm of it, counting the places on his torso where the bruises had gone from purple to yellow to almost nothing. The claw marks were only pale ridges now. The stab wound had closed clean. Two weeks had done that. Two weeks of dinners and careful nights and the word dating still tasting strange every time one of us said it out loud.Sleep took me eventually. When I woke the light through the curtains was soft gray, early enough that the city outside still sounded half-asleep. Ethan was alre

  • Fake Dating The Dangerous Hockey Brother    Chapter 154

    Glinda POVTwo weeks later the blood was gone from the floorboards, the couch had been replaced, and the claw marks on Ethan’s ribs had faded to pale pink lines he still covered with soft cotton shirts.The one-month ultimatum from his father sat like a stone at the edge of every quiet moment, but somehow the days between had softened around it. We had started calling it dating, careful, deliberate, the word still new enough that it felt strange on my tongue. He picked me up for dinner three times. I stayed the night twice, always on my side of the bed until sleep pulled us closer. We talked about ordinary things: the new job I was considering, the way the city smelled after rain, the ridiculous number of books he kept stacked on the floor of the guest room. We did not talk about the hooded figure or the blade or the territory waiting for him. Not yet.He had chosen the theater on purpose…the luxurious one with the gold floors and the balcony seats that no one ever used after nine.

  • Fake Dating The Dangerous Hockey Brother    Glinda Chapter 53

    Glinda POVWhen Ethan called me I rushed to his house.The line had been bad, his voice rough, broken on the single plea of “P-please come”…and then it cut out. I didn’t think and just grabbed my keys, the new ones that still felt strange in my hand, and drove the black SUV the short distance with my heart hammering hard enough to hurt. I pushed the door open the moment I arrived, and the smell hit me first, blood, sweat, the sharp copper edge of violence, and underneath it something wilder, like wet earth and pine after a storm. The living room looked like a fight had torn through it—furniture splintered, a dark smear on the floorboards, the couch shoved half out of place. Ethan sat on the edge of the ruined couch, shirtless, a gauze pad taped high on the left side of his ribs, another over a cut above his eye. Bruises were already blooming across his chest and shoulder. His lip was split. When he looked up, his eyes were too bright, too raw.“Glinda.” My name came out like it co

    Glinda POV“Ethan what are you doing? Y-you know I have work to do…” I muttered, feeling very concerned and confused by his sudden action. He didn't say a word though, and just kept pulling me through the hallway, muttering words I couldn't make out.He seemed angry and hurt.We arrived at his roo

    Glinda's POVFor the first time ever, I walked through school without being bullied. Everyone kept their distance, watching me as I left. Maybe Kevrian’s offer wasn’t so bad. Dating the Alpha Heir could mean peace…no one would dare touch me, except maybe Cressida, the Beta’s daughter. But even th

    Glinda POV“K-kaivrian?” I asked, still unable to believe that he was truly there. Kaivrian was the definition of handsome, a guy I once thought was created by the goddess herself. He had jet black curly hair that framed his face perfectly, a chiseled chin, perfectly pointed nose, a lip so perfect
