Aurora.

My body locked into place the second my eyes registered his face. Every rehearsed speech I had drafted for his grave evaporated from my tongue, leaving me staring at a ghost standing in a dusty foyer.

He looked older and thinner than the man who used to make pancakes on Sunday mornings, carrying a stranger’s stillness that replaced the warmth I remembered. The faded jacket hung loosely on his shoulders and the silver at his temples had spread into a shock of gray hair.

  • Faking It With Hockey Alpha   Chapter 124: The Last Torch

    Roland.“What trick is this, Eleanor?” Garrick demanded, his voice sharp and defensive in the sudden gloom. “The wardens sealed my son's house. No one leaves that estate without my direct authorization.”“Your wardens are incompetent and your seals are broken,” Eleanor answered. She stood near the garden gate with her hands resting in the pockets of her coat. “I suggest you prepare yourself, Garrick. She is not in a forgiving mood.”A single flame bloomed at the far edge of the clearing, pushing the shadows back.Aurora walked into the circle of stone holding a brass lantern. Mud caked her boots and stained the hem of her jeans. Her breath formed pale clouds in the chilled air, but she stood taller than any Conclave leader in the territory. Her hazel eyes burned with a brilliant, undeniable gold.The severed bond slammed back into my chest like an iron door ripped from its hinges. Her frantic, driving heartbeat poured directly into mine. A massive wave of heat rushed through my veins,

  • Faking It With Hockey Alpha   Chapter 123: What The Letter Says

    Aurora.I read the letter standing up, keeping my back rigid while the fire hissed in the stone grate and Cassian watched me from the far side of the library. Each handwritten line hit my chest like a physical blow, knocking the air from my lungs and forcing me to reread the elegant, looping script just to ensure my mind was not playing tricks on me.“She did not die in that hospital,” I said aloud, my voice cracking on the final word.“Read the rest of it, Aurora,” Cassian instructed, stepping away from the wall to rest his hands on the back of a leather armchair.“She says she faked the end of her life,” I continued, gripping the edges of the parchment until the paper crumpled under my fingers. “She staged a tragedy to keep the Council from reaching me and Lila, then vanished into the Conclave's walls. She has been hiding inside your fortress for twenty-five years.”“She is the one who found me,” Cassian explained, pacing a short line across the woven rug. “She realized I hated Garr

  • 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
