Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player. Chapter Eighty
Knox's POV Lizzy's car finally disappears down the street, and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.Thirty minutes. She kept me trapped in that parking lot for thirty fucking minutes.I check my phone. 11:15 pm.Cassie should be here by now. I told her to come tonight, and it's late enough that Maya would be asleep. But the parking lot is empty except for my car.I head inside, my stomach tight with unease. Maybe she's running late. Maybe she's being careful, taking a longer route to make sure no one sees her.I unlock the door and step inside. The house is silent. I check my phone again. No messages, no missed calls.Maybe I should text her. I pull up her contact and start typing.“Are you still coming? It's important we talk.”I hit send and wait. One minute. Two. Five. Nothing.The message doesn't even show as delivered.My chest tightens. I try calling instead.The phone doesn't ring. It goes straight to a recorded message. “The number you are trying to reach is not a
Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player. Chapter Seventy Nine
Cassie's POV I spend the rest of the day trying not to fall apart. After my encounter with Lizzy, I go through the motions. Attend my afternoon class, take notes I won't remember, nod when classmates ask if I'm okay.But inside, I'm unraveling.Knox ignored me. Turned his back and walked away like I was nothing.And tonight, I'm supposed to go to his place and pretend everything is fine. Pretend my chest doesn't ache every time I think about the way he looked at me and then left.“He'll explain,” I tell myself over and over. “There has to be a reason. He texted me, he wants to talk. Things will go back to normal.”But Lizzy's words won't leave me alone. What if she's right? What if Knox has been playing me from the start?No. I shake my head, forcing the thought away. Knox isn't like that. He's been nothing but good to me. Sweet. Protective.Yesterday, he defended me against my aunt. Took care of me, made me feel safe.That wasn't fake. It couldn't have been.By the time I get home,
Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player. Chapter Seventy Eight
Knox's POV I've been avoiding Cassie all day.Nyx keeps screaming at me to go to her. To find her between classes and pull her into my arms and tell her everything is going to be okay.But I can't. Because my father called this morning after whatever Lizzy had told him last night, and everything changed.I'm sitting in my car in the parking lot, gripping the steering wheel so hard my knuckles have gone white. The conversation replays in my head on an endless loop, each word cutting deeper than the last.“If you want to keep that human girl alive, you will stay away from her.”Warren's voice was cold, like he was discussing the weather instead of threatening to murder my mate.“Maya too. If I see you with that girl again, if I hear about you defending her, if you so much as look at her, I will kill them both. Your sister first, then the human.”My chest constricts at the memory. The casual way he said it, like killing Cassie and Maya was just another item on his to-do list.Alpha Warr
Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player. Chapter Seventy Seven
Cassie's POVI spin around. Maya is standing behind me, backpack slung over one shoulder, concern written across her face.“Hey,” I manage, forcing a smile. “I thought you were sleeping in.”“I was, but then I saw your note and figured I'd find you between classes.” She studies my face. “You okay? You look like you just saw a ghost.”More like I just watched Knox Black avoid me like I'm contagious.“I'm fine. Just tired.” The lie comes automatically now. “Didn't sleep well.”“Mystery guy keeping you up late?” Maya teases, but there's something careful in her tone.If only she knew the mystery guy is her brother. The brother who just walked away from me without a word.“Something like that,” I mutter.We walk together toward the student center. Maya chats about her morning class and the test she'd been reading for last night, about the party next weekend. I nod and make appropriate sounds, but my mind is elsewhere.Why did Knox walk away? Is he avoiding me? Is this about whatever tha
Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player. Chapter Seventy Six
Cassie's POV I barely sleep.Adrian's warning plays on repeat in my head all night. “Lizzy's more dangerous than you realize. Be careful. Watch your back.”When my alarm goes off at seven, I'm already awake, staring at the ceiling with gritty eyes and a headache building behind my temples.Maya is still asleep when I drag myself out of bed and into the bathroom. I look like hell— dark circles under my eyes, my face pale, hair a mess.I splash cold water on my face and try to pull myself together. I have classes today. Lab practicals. A normal Tuesday that requires me to act like my life isn't spiraling out of control.In the mirror, I can still see the faint mark on my cheek from where my aunt slapped me. It's barely visible now, but I know it's there. “Monster. Dangerous. You will hurt someone again.”I shake my head, pushing her voice away. I can't think about that right now. Can't fall apart before I've even left the apartment.I get dressed in jeans and a hoodie, pulling my bun
Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player. Chapter Seventy Five
Adrian's POV I've been staring at Cassie's contact on my phone for the past twenty minutes. My thumb hovers over the call button, then pulls back. Forward. Back again.This is stupid. I shouldn't call her. I should stay out of this mess, keep my head down, and let whatever happens happen.But every time I close my eyes, I see her face at that party. The confusion, the fear, the way she looked at me like she trusted me to keep her safe.And I handed her off to Maverick like she was someone else's problem, even though I know she wasn't my problem. I was the one who had drugged her after all. “Fuck,” I mutter, running a hand through my hair.My apartment is dark except for the glow of the city lights through the window. It's getting late, too late to be calling anyone, especially someone I barely know.But I can't shake this feeling. This gnawing guilt that's been eating at me since Lizzy stormed out of my place after I refused to help her anymore.Lizzy went to Alpha Warren today. I k
