Chapter 67: League Scrutiny

The league officials’ inquiry came faster than we expected.

Elodie pulled us into a private meeting room at the practice facility the very next afternoon. Her usual calm professionalism was strained, her fingers tapping rapidly on her tablet as she spoke.

“They’re asking questions,” she said without preamble. “Not just about the relationship. They’re concerned about the on-ice incidents. The way you two seem overly synchronized. The way B

  • Frozen Submission (M*M)Romance   Link failure

    Chapter 99: Link FailureThe night before the public announcement, the link went haywire.It started with a sharp, stabbing pain in Brooks’ chest — not his own, but Callan’s old injury flaring through the connection with brutal intensity. Brooks gasped awake, clutching his ribs, the phantom agony so real it brought tears to his eyes.Callan woke at the same moment, his body jerking beside him. “Brooks—”The link destabilized completely.Wave after wave of shared sensation and emotion crashed over them. Pain from old bruises. Arousal from phantom memories. Grief from Callan’s buried trauma. Anxiety from Brooks’ perfectionist spiral. The experimental drugs, pushed to their limit by the cumulative doses and the constant stress, began to fail in spectacular, terrifying fashion.They both sat up in the bed, breathing hard, bodies trembling.“It’s too much,” Brooks gasped, clutching Callan’s arm. “I feel everything at once. Yo

A joint press conference followed by a live interview. Sell the perfect love story. Make the world believe it. No deviations. Or we release the full collection starting with the most intimate tapes.The deadline had been moved up again. Three days.Three days until Brooks and Callan were forced to stand in front of the world and declare their relationship on the syndicate’s terms.The luxury apartment felt like a pressure cooker. The cameras blinked in every corner. The link between them was a live wire, carrying every flicker of fear, every surge of determination, every moment of exhaustion.Callan and Brooks sat on the couch, the city lights glittering mockingly outside the windows. The latest shared dream from the night before still lingered — a peaceful life without sur

  • Frozen Submission (M*M)Romance   Betrayal Fear

    Chapter 97: Betrayal FearBrooks overheard the conversation by accident.He had stepped out of the bathroom in the monitored apartment, still damp from the shower, when he heard Callan’s low voice on the burner phone in the living room. The league contact was on the line, the offer still open.“I’m considering it,” Callan said quietly. “Full immunity for both of us. Protection. A way out before the announcement. But I need guarantees that Brooks is safe first. The syndicate is unpredictable. If they release the tapes before we testify…”The words hit Brooks like a slapshot to the chest.He froze in the hallway, the link surging with a wave of betrayal and heartbreak so intense it nearly brought him to his knees. Callan was considering the league offer. Again. After everything. After the public humiliation, the live sessions, the shared trauma, the desperate reunions — he was still weighing the option of testifying, of potentially sacrific

  • Frozen Submission (M*M)Romance   League Offer

    Chapter 96: League OfferThe secret offer from the league arrived through a discreet, encrypted channel late at night.Callan stared at the message on his burner phone, the dim light of the apartment casting long shadows across his face. The syndicate’s cameras were still blinking in the corners, but this communication had come through a back channel Elodie had helped set up.**League Contact:** Captain Lachlan, we have been monitoring the situation. We can offer full immunity and protection for you and Brooks Rhys if you testify against the syndicate and provide evidence of the blackmail, the experimental drugs, and the gambling operation. The offer expires in 48 hours. Contact us privately.Callan showed me the message, his hand steady but his emotions raging through the link — a storm of temptation, guilt, fear, and fierce protectiveness.I read it twice, my stomach twisting.Immunity.Protection.A way out f

    Chapter 95: Protecting AlliesThe threat to Maren’s career arrived like a shadow falling over everything we had built.**Unknown Number:** Your physiotherapist is asking dangerous questions. Handle her or we handle her career permanently. The announcement is in two days. Do not test us.Callan read the message with cold fury, his hand tightening on my shoulder. The link carried his protective rage straight to me, mixing with my own fear for Maren — the one person who had offered genuine, compassionate support without demanding anything in return.“We can’t let them destroy her,” I said quietly. “She’s risked everything to help us.”Callan nodded, jaw set. “We protect our allies. That’s how we win this.”The next hours became a frantic effort to shield Maren while the syndicate tightened the noose.We met with the core group in the hidden storage room — Tate, Beck, Maren, and Elodie. The atmosphere was tense, the air thic

    Chapter 94: Medical Red FlagsMaren Emerson looked exhausted but determined as she closed the door to the small private exam room in the arena’s medical wing.She had pulled Callan and me aside immediately after the morning skate, her expression grave. The latest bloodwork results were spread across the table in front of her.“I can’t ignore this anymore,” she said quietly. “Brooks, your bloodwork shows significant abnormalities. Elevated stress markers, neurotransmitter imbalances, signs of cumulative neurological strain. The experimental drugs are causing progressive damage. The shared bruises, the collapse in net, the panic attacks — it’s all connected. If you keep taking them, the effects could become permanent.”Callan’s hand tightened on my shoulder. Through the link, I felt his cold fury and deep fear.Maren continued, voice steady but urgent. “I’ve cross-referenced what I can without raising too many flags. These compounds are not
