Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player. Chapter Seventy Two
Cassie's POVKnox's house is quiet when we step inside. I've been here before, that night when everything burned and he was the only thing that made it stop. But this time feels different, less desperate, more... intentional.“The bathroom is upstairs, second door on the right,” Knox says, breaking the silence. “You should wash your face.”I bob my head, grateful for the escape.Upstairs, I lock myself in the bathroom and finally look at myself in the mirror.Jesus!My eyes are red and swollen. My face is blotchy from crying. I look exactly like someone who just got publicly destroyed by their aunt.I turn on the tap and splash cold water on my face, scrubbing away the tears. The cold stings, but it helps. It grounds me a little. My aunt's handprint is still faintly visible on my cheek. It's not quite a bruise yet, but it will be by tomorrow. A physical proof of what she thinks of me.I lean against the sink, gripping the edges until my knuckles turn white.Why did she come here? Aft

Knox's POV “My parents died when I was fifteen,” Cassie chokes out. “I can't remember the details, but I was the only one who survived and I don't know how and why. My aunt thinks I did it… everyone thinks I'm wrong, dangerous. She sent me here to get rid of me.” My chest tightens painfully at her words. Now I understand why Cassie is in Bridgestone college when there are other colleges that humans alone attend. I tighten my arm around her. “Cassie…” “What if she's right?” She pulls back to look at me, tears blurring her vision. “What if there's something wrong with me? And I'm dangerous like she claims?” I shake my head frantically, cupping her face with both hands. “No. Don't say that, don't even think about it.” “But Knox—” “You aren't dangerous.” My voice comes out sharper than I intended. “You are not a monster. Whatever your aunt believes, she's wrong, so fucking wrong.” The certainty in my words surprises even me, but I mean every single one of them. Because I know Cass
Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player. Chapter Seventy
Cassie's POV Dread pools in my gut as my eyes lock with Emily, my cousin. She stands at the class door, her expression cold and judgemental just like three years ago. She looks exactly like my aunt, with the same sharp features and cruel eyes. I rise to my feet and walk slowly towards her. “Emily?” My voice comes out shaky and barely above a whisper. “What are you doing here?” “Your aunt is on campus.” She doesn't move from the door or even act like she's excited to see me. “She wants to see you. Now.” My heart sinks to the pit of my stomach in an instant and my fingers tremble involuntarily. The class goes silent as if they are aware of what's happening and what's about to happen to me. I can feel every eye on me now. I swallow hard, forcing myself to say something, like making up an excuse, because my aunt is the last person I want to see. “I— I have another class,” I stutter. “Can—”“Now, Cassie!” Emily's voice cuts through the air. “Unless you want her coming to find you you
Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player. Chapter Sixty Nine
Cassie's POVI wake up with a smile on my face. For a moment, I just lie on the bed, staring at the ceiling, replaying last night in my head. The rooftop, the city lights, Knox's hands in my hair, the way he looked at me like I was the only person in the world.It feels like a dream, like something that happened to someone else, not the boring, invisible Cassie Monroe.My phone buzzes on the nightstand. I grab it and my heart skips when I see Knox's name.“Good morning, beautiful. Been thinking about you since I dropped you off. When can I see you again?”The smile on my face widens. I type back quickly.“Good morning. I have classes until 3. After that?”His response is immediate.“I will pick you up later then.” I hug my phone to my chest like a lovesick teenager. This is real, last night actually happened and Knox Black wants to see me again. “Okay, what's with the goofy smile?”My heart practically jumps out of my chest, and I nearly drop my phone. Maya stands at the door, her a
Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player. Chapter Sixty Eight
Cassie's POV After dinner, Knox suggests we move to the lounge area.The couches are plush and comfortable, arranged to face the city view. We settle onto one of them, and Knox immediately pulls me closer until I'm tucked against his side.It should feel awkward. But somehow, it feels natural, like I belong here, in this moment, with him.“Comfortable?” He asks, his arm draped across my shoulders.“Very.” I lean into him, breathing in that pine scent that's becoming dangerously familiar. “This whole night has been... I don't even have words for it.”“Good words, I hope.”“The best words.” I tilt my head to look at him. “No one's ever done anything like this for me before, or made me feel special like this.”Except my parents of course. However, I can't tell him that because I'm not ready to share my story with him. Not when he's obviously keeping a lot from me.Something flashes in his eyes. “Then everyone else is an idiot.” His fingers trace lazy patterns on my arm. “You should feel
Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player. Chapter Sixty Seven
Cassie's POV “So you're really telling me who this mystery guy is?” Maya asks for the third time as I dig through my bag. I pull out a dress, consider it, then toss it on the bed. It looks too formal. “I told you, it's just someone from class.”“Huh-huh. Someone from class who has you trying on every outfit you own.” She's sprawled on the bed, watching me with amusement. “Come on, Cass. Just give me a name. Is he someone I know?” Suspicion drips in her tone. “No.” I grab another dress, simple, dark blue, not too fancy but not too casual. “What about this one?”“Perfect. Now tell me his name.”“Maya...”“Fine, fine.” She holds up her hands in surrender. “Keep his name, I just hope he doesn't turn out to be a creep.” Guilt gnaws at my heart. I hate that I'm lying and keeping this massive secret from my best friend.But how do I tell her I'm going on a date with her brother? “He's not a creep,” I say. “He's... actually really sweet.”Maya's expression softens. “You really like him,
