Chapter 45: Game Seven Turns to War

작가: Nightingale
last update 게시일: 2026-03-19 05:34:04

For a moment, everything inside Rogers Arena felt suspended in time.

The cracks in the ice spread slowly, like veins creeping across the surface.

The crowd’s roar had turned into a low, uneasy murmur.

Players stood frozen near their benches.

No one moved.

Then the lights flickered.

Panic in the Arena

A sharp metallic pulse echoed through the rafters.

The silver device hidden above the arena flared brighter.

Another CRACK split the ice.

This time, a visible fracture opened near center ice.

  • Frozen Fangs: Rivals on Ice   Chapter 86: The One Who Stays

    The house didn’t go back to normal.Not right away.It didn’t need to—but that didn’t stop everyone from noticing the difference.—Finn stayed in his room.Not shut away.Just… there.The door stayed open now, a few inches at first, then a little more as the evening settled in.It wasn’t an invitation exactly.But it wasn’t a barrier either.—Jake passed by once, then again.Didn’t stop.Didn’t look in for too long.Just enough to register that Finn was still on the bed, ankle propped slightly, the ice pack resting where it should be.Still there.Still okay.—Alex checked once.Knocked lightly against the doorframe instead of the door.“Still good?”Finn nodded. “Yeah.”A pause.“…Thanks.”Alex gave a small nod back. “Of course.”Then he left again.No hovering.—It was quieter than usual.Not tense.Just… thoughtful.—Liam noticed it most.He’d been there earlier.He’d seen how it went wrong.And how it almost went right.Which, somehow, made it harder to place.—He lingered i

  • Frozen Fangs: Rivals on Ice   Chapter 85: The Way They Go to Him

    They don’t go right away.Even after they agree—together—they still wait a little longer.Not out of doubt.Out of respect.—The house settles around them.A quiet shift of pipes, a faint creak in the floorboards, the low hum of something electrical in the background. Ordinary sounds. Familiar.Grounding.Jake leans back against the counter again, arms loosely crossed now, not tight like before. Alex stays close, shoulder brushing his, not moving away.They don’t talk.They don’t need to.The decision’s already been made.—After a minute, Jake exhales. “…Okay.”Alex glances at him. “Yeah?”Jake nods toward the hallway. “We should go before I overthink it.”A faint smile touches Alex’s mouth. “You already are.”“Exactly my point.”That earns a quiet breath of laughter—small, but real.—Jake pushes off the counter.This time, he doesn’t pace.He just stands there for a second, steadying himself.Alex reaches out, fingers catching his sleeve briefly—not stopping him, just anchoring.J

  • Frozen Fangs: Rivals on Ice   Chapter 84: The Way They Hold It Together

    The front door clicked shut softer than usual.That was the first sign.Not the limp—though it was there, faint but careful. Not the way Finn kept his eyes forward as he stepped inside.It was the quiet.“Hey,” Alex called from the kitchen.Finn didn’t stop walking. “Hey.”“Everything okay?”“Yeah.”Too quick.Too flat.And then he was already down the hall.A door closed—not hard, not sharp. Just… final.—Jake leaned back against the counter, arms folding loosely across his chest. He didn’t look at Alex right away.Alex didn’t need him to.“He’s not okay,” Alex said quietly.Jake let out a slow breath through his nose. “No.”They didn’t move.Didn’t follow.That part—they’d learned.—A beat passed.Then another.Jake reached for the edge of the counter, tapping his fingers against it once before stilling them. “That was worse than yesterday.”Alex nodded slightly. “Yeah.”“Something didn’t work.”It wasn’t a question.Alex glanced toward the hallway, then back. “Or it worked… until

  • Frozen Fangs: Rivals on Ice   Chapter 83: The First Time It Doesn’t Work

    It didn’t fall apart.That would’ve been easier to recognize.There was no sharp argument, no raised voices, no moment where everything clearly went wrong. If anything, it started like every other day had been starting lately—steady, familiar in its new way.That was what made it harder to catch.—They were moving through town this time, not the field. Narrow streets, uneven stone underfoot, small shifts in elevation that didn’t look like much until you stepped on them wrong.Finn had been doing fine.Not perfect, but fine.Answering when they asked. Asking when he needed to. Keeping pace without pushing it too far.It felt… manageable.Normal, in a different way.—“Do you want to take a break?”Liam’s voice came as they slowed near a corner.Finn shook his head. “No, I’m good.”And he was.At least, he thought he was.Jake nodded, accepting it. Alex didn’t say anything, just adjusted his path slightly so he was walking closer to Finn’s left side.Not touching.Just there.—They ke

  • Frozen Fangs: Rivals on Ice   Chapter 83: The Things They Don’t Say Out Loud

    It wasn’t immediate.The shift from that conversation—honest, steady, unfinished—didn’t resolve into anything clean the next day. Or the one after that. Nothing snapped into place.Instead, things… carried.Finn noticed it in the small gaps.Not the big moments—the asking, the answering, the careful choices they’d agreed on. Those held. They were trying, and it showed.But in between?That was where the old habits lingered.“Do you want help?” Jake asked, casual, like it was nothing.Finn glanced up from where he was balancing awkwardly on one foot, shoe half-on. “…No, I’ve got it.”Jake nodded. “Okay.”And he meant it.He didn’t step in. Didn’t hover. Didn’t even stay too close.But he didn’t leave either.He leaned against the wall instead, arms crossed loosely, gaze drifting—not fixed on Finn, not ignoring him.Just… there.Finn noticed that too.It wasn’t pressure.But it wasn’t absence.And somehow, that middle ground still felt unfamiliar.—Later, it was Liam.“You’re limping m

  • Frozen Fangs: Rivals on Ice   Chapter 81: The Part That Lingers

    They didn’t move right away.Not after the agreement, not after the quiet “we good.” It could have ended there—clean, resolved—but something in the air resisted being wrapped up that neatly. The moment had settled, but it hadn’t disappeared.Finn noticed it first.Not in anything obvious. No one was tense. No one was hovering wrong again. But the quiet stretched a little longer than before, like there was still something unspoken sitting just beneath it.He shifted slightly, testing his ankle again. The pain was still there—duller now that he wasn’t pretending it wasn’t—but steady enough to keep his attention.“…It’s not just the ankle,” he said.The words slipped out before he fully decided to say them.Jake turned his head. Liam stilled. Alex, who had just pulled his hands back, paused halfway through leaning away.No one interrupted.Finn let out a breath through his nose. “…I mean—it is. But it’s not just that.”Liam’s voice came carefully. “Okay.”Not what do you mean. Not explai

    The wind howled through the tall pines outside the Thorne cabin near Vancouver, whipping snow across the frozen lake in swirling white clouds.Jake stood on the porch steps, staring into the dark forest.He could see them now.Shadows moving between the trees.Dozens of them.Brody stepped up besid

    Morning came slowly to the forests outside Vancouver. The snowstorm from the night before had faded into a pale mist that hung over the frozen lake. Sunlight filtered through the tall trees, casting long golden lines across the ice where Finn’s sudden burst of power had spread frost patterns like d
