Cassie's POV

The library is quiet, the kind of quietness I need after Maya walked in on me crying like a fool yesterday.

I had to lie to her that it was my hormones that were disturbing. Because I couldn't tell her I was hurt by her brother, really.

Now, I'm sitting at a corner in the library, surrounded by anatomy textbooks and highlighted notes. If I can't control what's happening in my life, at least, I can control my grades.

A thought suddenly drifts into my mind. The hockey night party. It's in three days. And I've not decided if I'm actually going or if I'm going to hide in Maya's apartment like the coward Knox probably thinks I am.

I shake my head, forcing my eyes back to the page in front of me.

How hormones work? Hormones travel through the bloodstream to target organs or cells. Once they reach their destination, they bind to—

“You are doing it wrong.”

I jump at the cold voice, my pen moving quickly across the page and leaving an ugly black line through my notes.

  • Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player.    Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Two

    Cassie's POVThe pain hits me hard, causing me to groan. One moment I'm sitting in the apartment, staring blankly at a textbook I haven't absorbed a single word from. The next, agony explodes through my chest so intense, so visceral, that I can't breathe.I double over, my hands clutching at my ribs. It feels like something inside me is breaking, cracking, and splintering into pieces.“What—” The word comes out as a gasp. “What's happening?”The pain shifts. My jaw throbs like someone just punched me. My stomach clenches like I've been hit. My back screams like something heavy just slammed into it.But no one is touching me. I'm alone in my apartment. This doesn't make sense. None of this makes sense.Then, like ice water being dumped over my head, realization crashes through me.Knox.These aren't my injuries. They're his.The bond. The mate bond Maya told me about. The connection between us that makes us feel each other's pain.“No.” The word rips from my throat. “No, no, no.”Anoth

  • Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player.    Chapter One Hundred and Thirty One

    Knox's POVGarrett's fist connects with my ribs again and I hear something crack. Pain explodes through my side, sharp and immediate.I stumble backward, my hand instinctively pressing against the injury. Broken rib. Maybe two.The crowd's murmurs grow louder. No longer whispers of discomfort but audible concern.“He can't take much more.”“Someone should stop this.”“This isn't a trial. It's an execution.”I force myself upright, even though every breath sends pain through my chest. Blood drips from my split lip onto the arena floor.Garrett stands a few feet away, his expression torn between duty and mercy.“Knox.” His voice is gentle, the way you'd speak to someone dying. “Please. Yield. This doesn't have to continue.”“Yes, it does.” The words come out rasping and wet. “I haven't survived this long just to quit now.”“You're not quitting. You're being smart. There's a difference.”“To who?” I spit blood onto the stone. “To them?” I gesture vaguely at the crowd. “They've already de

  • Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player.    Chapter One Hundred and Thirty

    Knox's POVThe arena is carved from ancient stone. This is where pack justice happens, where challenges are fought and Alphas prove their worth.Where I'm about to fail in front of everyone who's ever believed in me.The stands are filling quickly. Wolves from every corner of the Blackwood Pack streaming in to witness the trials. To watch their future Alpha prove he can still lead.Or watch him fall.I stand at the entrance to the arena floor, Maverick beside me. The noise of the gathering crowd washes over me— voices, footsteps, the crackle of torches.“You don't have to do this,” Maverick says quietly. “We could leave. Right now. Just walk away before it starts.”“And go where?” I don't take my eyes off the arena. “Running won't change what I am. And it won't give me back what I've lost.”“No. But it would keep you alive.”“For how long?” I finally look at him. “Without Cassie, without the bond completed— I'm dying anyway. At least this way, I go out fighting. Prove I tried.”Maveri

  • Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player.    Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Nine

    Knox's POVI don't know what compels me to leave the pack territory. One moment I'm in my room, preparing mentally for the trials, trying to find some semblance of calm before I face the challenges that will likely end me.The next, I'm walking, moving without conscious thought. My feet carry me away from pack lands, toward Bridgestone.‘What are you doing?’ I ask myself. ‘The trials start in a few hours. You need to be here, to prepare.’But my body doesn't listen, just keeps walking, like something deeper than logic is pulling me forward.The mate bond. It has to be.I should turn back, return to the pack house and use these final hours to rest or train or do anything productive.Instead, I walk toward campus. Toward the place where Cassie is. Where she's been suffering because of my choices.I don't plan what I will say if I see her, don't have any explanations prepared. I just follow this overwhelming need to be near her one more time before everything ends.The edge of campus app

  • Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player.    Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Eight

    Cassie's POV Knox's expression crumbles in an instant. “Cassie—”“No. Don't do that. Don't shut me out again.” I grip his shirt tighter. “I deserve answers. Real answers. Not Maya telling me she can't explain. Not Adrian looking at me with pity. You. I need you to tell me what's happening between us.”His jaw tightens. “It's complicated.”“Then uncomplicate it.” My voice drips with frustration. “What does being your mate mean? Why does touching you make me feel whole? Why does staying away feel like dying?”“Because that's what the mate bond does.” His voice is tight. “It connects us, makes us need each other and makes separation unbearable.”“For how long? Forever?”“Yes.” The word is heavy as final. “The mate bond is for life, Cassie. Once it's complete— once we fully claim each other— we're bound forever. What I feel, you feel. My pain becomes your pain. My life becomes your life.”A cold shudder runs through me. Boyd to a werewolf forever? “And if we don't complete it? If we kee
