Faking It With Hockey Alpha Chapter 122: The Hearth Trial
Roland.I sat in the parlor of the Blackwood estate and stared at the empty fireplace while the hours crawled toward dusk. The bond inside my chest remained entirely silent, leaving a vast and terrifying void where Aurora’s vibrant heartbeat belonged. The Conclave wardens had severed the connection with brutal magical efficiency and the absence felt like a missing limb.My mother walked into the room and pressed a porcelain cup of tea into my hands. She sat beside me on the sofa, wrapping her arms around my shoulders. I leaned into her embrace and let her hold me, dropping the stoic mask I wore for the rest of the territory.“I am afraid, Eleanor,” I admitted, staring down at the dark liquid in my cup and listening to the quiet house.“You should be afraid,” Eleanor answered, stroking the back of my neck as she rested her cheek against my temple. “Your mate is locked inside a Conclave fortress and you are facing a rigged trial designed to break you. Fear keeps you alert. It reminds yo
Faking It With Hockey Alpha Chapter 121: A Sponsor's House
Aurora.I walked through the sealed wrought-iron gates of the Thorne estate with my chin held high. I squeezed Lila's hand once before the wardens in gray cloaks stepped between us, escorting my sister back toward Margot's waiting vehicle.The massive iron doors slammed shut behind me with a resounding clang that echoed through the empty courtyard like a prison gate.The exact moment the lock engaged, my bond with Roland went completely dead.A vast, terrifying silence rushed into my chest, replacing the warm thrum of his heartbeat. The sudden severing felt like losing a physical limb. I rubbed my sternum and forced myself to take a deep breath, trying to steady my pulse without his familiar presence anchoring me through the connection.The Conclave wardens had promised isolation and they delivered it with brutal magical efficiency. I was entirely alone behind enemy lines.“Follow me, Aurora,” Cassian instructed, turning away from the gates and marching toward the main entrance.I fol
Faking It With Hockey Alpha Chapter 120: The Sentence
Roland.I stood in the center of the torchlit Conclave chamber, letting the silver blade rest against my open palm. My father knelt on the cold stone floor right in front of me, his trench coat stained dark with his own blood.Every elder in the surrounding circle watched us in tense, expectant silence, waiting to see whether I would act as a king or a son tonight. The metal felt cold against my skin, but the heat from my torn stitches served as a constant reminder of the violence we had already survived upstairs.Adrian did not cower. Despite his injuries, he kept his spine straight, raising his chin to look at me instead of the weapon.“I do not expect you to spare me, Roland,” Adrian said, his voice echoing off the stone walls with a strange, resigned calm. “I took a Council seat for the survival of our pack. I killed anyone who threatened to take it away. I made choices you despise to keep us fed and powerful.”“You aligned yourself with monsters,” I reminded him, tightening my gr
Faking It With Hockey Alpha Chapter 119: Midnight
Aurora.I sat on the edge of the infirmary cot, holding Lila's burning hand. Gold lines crawled up my sister's pale throat like creeping vines, illuminating her skin from within.“One hundred and forty beats per minute,” Nora announced.The paramedic pressed two fingers against Lila's wrist, watching the wall clock above the sink. “Her core temperature is spiking again. Her mortal body cannot take much more of this heat without suffering permanent neurological damage.”Kai paced across the narrow doorway, rubbing his bandaged forehead. “Can we pack her in ice?”“Ice will just shock her system and stop her heart,” Margot answered.The older woman moved to the foot of the cot, gripping the metal railing.“There is only one way to anchor an awakening this violent, Aurora.”“Tell me what to do,” I said, ready to tear the stadium apart if it meant saving her life.“She needs Moonborn blood,” Margot explained, watching Lila thrash against the white sheets. “It has to be freely given to pull

Roland.I carried Lila through the concrete corridors of the stadium and kicked the infirmary door open with my boot. The torn stitches in my side burned with every step and fresh blood soaked the waistband of my uniform, but I ignored the pain and laid the thrashing teenager onto the nearest examination cot.“Step back and give me room,” Nora ordered.The human paramedic snapped on a pair of latex gloves and pushed past me to check Lila's dilated pupils. She moved with a calm that settled the frantic energy in the room, grabbing a penlight and a blood pressure cuff from a metal tray.“She is burning up,” Kai pointed out. He hovered near the head of the bed, reaching for Lila's trembling shoulder. “Her skin feels like a furnace, Nora.”“I do not need an enforcer crowding my workspace,” Nora snapped. She swatted Kai's hand away without looking up from her patient. “Go stand against the wall, Kai. Let me count her breaths and get an IV started before she seizes.”“Will fluids actually h
Faking It With Hockey Alpha Chapter 117: The Longest Night
Aurora's POV I watched the arena's joy curdle around me as the elder Alpha's words settled over the ice. Sixty thousand fans continued screaming for the championship goal, waving their foam fingers and banging against the glass, while the VIP tier stood in a silent, ancient wall of disapproval.The man holding the microphone lowered it, his scarred face unreadable under the bright stadium lights. His name was Garrick Thorne. I knew his reputation from the files we had recovered, recognizing him as the architect of the old laws that kept the packs segregated and afraid. He stated the Conclave's law without raising his voice, yet the sound carried a sharp edge that bypassed the cheering and reached us clearly.“No Alpha King assumes the throne without completing the three Trials of Succession,” Garrick declared, resting his hands on the railing of the luxury box. “These trials must be finished before the winter solstice, the longest night of the year.”Garrick paused, scanning the ice
