Cassie's POV

The gym smells like sweat and rubber, the kind of smell that clings to your clothes long after you leave. I don't like it here, but I've promised Maya I will come with her this weekend. So, I do not argue with her this morning. Mostly because I want to see him.

Heat rushes to my face in an instant. What the hell? Huh? Cassie! Thinking about Knox again?

God, I think I need therapy. Because tell me why it feels like I'm being punished for not seeing Knox since the incident at that cursed apartment.

I don't know if he is intentionally staying away from me or not, but for crazy reasons, I want to see him. God! I really want to see him even though I hate him.

My eyes keep moving to the gym entrance, hoping that he will show up like he did last weekend. I glance at the entrance again, pretending to tie my shoelace, but my heart sinks when he doesn't walk in.

He's not here. I guess he is really avoiding me after saying that nonsense about me being his.

  • Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player.    Chapter Eighty Three

    Knox's POV Adrian's words follow me out of the locker room like ghosts. I'm halfway across the parking lot when the question hits me.How does Adrian know Cassie is my mate?I never told him. Never told anyone except Maverick and Maya. The bond isn't something visible to other werewolves unless they're looking for it, and they know what to look for.So how did Adrian figure it out?And more importantly, why hasn't he told anyone? Adrian is my rival. My competition on and off the ice. If he wanted to destroy me, all he'd have to do is tell my father or his that I've found my mate and she's human.But he hasn't. Instead, he switched Lizzy's poison. Saved Cassie's life. Kept her secret. He protected her when I couldn't.The realization sits heavy in my stomach.I lean against my car, head tilted back, staring at the sky. Everything Adrian said is right. I am a coward. I am choosing fear over my mate.And Cassie is paying the price.“Knox.”I spin around. Maya stands a few feet away, her

  • Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player.    Chapter Eighty Two

    Knox's POV The puck slams into the boards inches from my head. I don't flinch, or react. Just skate harder, faster, channeling all the rage burning through me into movement.Practice game against the Bluefang team, Adrian's team. The rivalry is supposed to be friendly, but there's nothing friendly about the way I'm playing today.I'm aggressive, reckless. Every hit is harder than it needs to be. Every check pushes the line of what's acceptable.Ronan has already yelled at me twice. I don't care.‘Go to her,’ Nyx snarls for the hundredth time today. ‘Our mate is in pain. We need to fix this.’‘I can't.’ I've repeated the words so many times it's lost all meaning.‘You're a coward.’Maybe. Probably. But I'm a coward who's keeping Cassie alive.Warren already made it clear. Stay away or she dies with Maya. It's that simple, that brutal.So I'm staying away. Even though it's killing me. Even though I can feel her pain through the bond— this hollow, aching agony that won't stop.I steal t

  • Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player.    Chapter Eighty One

    Cassie's POV Morning light filters through the curtains, harsh and unwelcome. I couldn't sleep through the night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Knox standing with Lizzy, his hand hovering over his phone screen before cutting off my call, the way he didn't push her away when she touched him.My eyes feel like sandpaper. My head pounds. My chest feels hollowed out, like someone reached in and carved out everything vital.I roll over and stare at the wall.Knox's shirt is crumpled in the corner where I threw it last night. Even from here, I can see the dark fabric. Part of me wants to pick it up, hold it, breathe in his scent one last time.The rest of me wants to burn it.My phone is face-down on the floor where it landed after I threw it. The screen is probably cracked, I don't care enough to check.I force myself to sit up. The room spins for a second before settling.Class. I have class today. Anatomy practical at nine, then pharmacology at eleven.Normal things that don't inv

    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
