Chapter 10: Meeting the Syndicate

The encrypted message sat on the phone like a death sentence.

Change of plans. Private meeting with both of you tomorrow night. The syndicate wants to discuss the next phase. Bring Lachlan. No excuses.

Callan read it over my shoulder, his body going rigid behind me. The link between us spiked hard, his anger and protectiveness crashing into my own fear until my chest felt too tight to breathe.

“Tomorrow night,” he said, voice low and dangerous. “They’re done

  • Frozen Submission (M*M)Romance   Empty Bed

    Chapter 110: Empty BedThe final night had been everything and nothing at the same time.We had spent it wrapped in each other, no cameras, no orders, no syndicate watching. Just us. Callan’s hands on my skin. His voice in my ear. The fading link carrying the last echoes of his love and fear. We had made love slowly, desperately, like it might be the last time. We had talked about the future we wanted after the war. A life without the syndicate. A life where we could just be Brooks and Callan.But when I woke up the next morning, the bed beside me was empty.Callan was gone.The apartment was silent. No note. No message. The link, almost gone now, carried only a faint echo of his determination mixed with deep sorrow.I sat up, heart hammering. “Callan?”No answer.I checked the bathroom. The kitchen. The living room. Nothing. His phone was gone. His wallet was gone. The clothes he had worn the night before were

  • Frozen Submission (M*M)Romance   Final Night

    Chapter 109: Final NightThe league awards had been a spectacle, but the real storm was only beginning.We had stood on that stage and told the world we were together. The crowd had cheered. The cameras had flashed. The syndicate had watched every second. But as we left the venue hand in hand, the encrypted phone in my pocket buzzed with their final message of the night.*Perfect performance. The world believes the lie. But we know the truth. The evidence you’re gathering. The team helping you. The coming-out was just the beginning. The real war starts now.*Callan read it in the car on the way back to the apartment. His grip on my hand tightened, the fading link carrying his rage and his determination.“They know,” he said quietly. “They’re coming for us hard now.”The apartment felt like a cage when we walked in. The syndicate had forced us to live together, and now it felt like the walls were closing in. We had one night

  • Frozen Submission (M*M)Romance   Smoking gun

    Chapter 108: Smoking GunThe recording from my father’s unexpected visit sat on Elodie’s secure laptop like a loaded gun.We had gathered in a safe location — a small, nondescript office Elodie had arranged through her contacts. Tate, Beck, Merrick, and Maren were there too. The team was fully in now, and the weight of their presence made the moment feel both terrifying and hopeful.Elodie played the recording for everyone.My father’s voice filled the room, cold and matter-of-fact.*Love is weakness. I gave you the talent. The drive. The syndicate gave you the structure. You should be thanking me.**You built the app. You created the drugs. You’ve been exploiting players for years.*The admissions kept coming. The exploitation. The plan to use us for long-term control. The way he had groomed the entire system.When the recording ended, the room was silent.Tate swore under his breath. “That’s it. That’

    Chapter 107: Unexpected VisitThe recording of my father’s confession burned a hole in my pocket the entire drive back to the apartment. Elodie had it now, copied and secured, but the words still echoed in my head.*Love is weakness. I gave you the talent. The drive. The syndicate gave you the structure.*Callan drove in silence, one hand on the wheel, the other occasionally reaching over to rest on my thigh. The link, though fading, still carried faint echoes of his pride in me for facing my father and his rage at the man who had used me my entire life.“You did it,” Callan said as we pulled into the parking garage. “You got the admission. That’s the smoking gun.”I nodded, but my hands were still shaking. “He looked at me like I was nothing. Just another asset. His own son.”Callan parked and pulled me into his arms across the console. “You’re not nothing. You’re everything. To me. To the team. To the people who actually l

    Chapter 106: Recording FatherThe decision to record my father had been made the night before, but it still felt like walking into a trap with my eyes open.Elodie had arranged the meeting through a secure channel. A “private family talk” at a neutral location — a small café on the outskirts of the city. The hidden recorder was small, barely noticeable, tucked into the collar of my shirt. Elodie had assured me it would capture everything clearly.Callan drove me there in silence. The link, though fading, still carried his tension and his fierce protectiveness. His hand rested on my thigh the entire way.“You don’t have to do this,” he said as we pulled up. “We can find another way.”“I do,” I replied. “If we want to end this, we need his words on record. His admission about the drugs. The app. Everything.”Callan leaned over and kissed me hard, like he was afraid it might be the last time. “I’ll be two blocks away. Feel me throug

    Chapter 105: Team InterventionTate’s knock on the apartment door came like a hammer.I was still reeling from the argument with Callan, the origin story finally laid bare, when the sound cut through the silence. Callan tensed beside me on the couch, the fading link carrying his wariness. The double dose had left us both raw, thoughts and memories still bleeding through in fragments.Callan stood and opened the door.Tate pushed inside, followed closely by Beck and Merrick. Their expressions were serious. Tate’s chipped tooth flashed as he spoke.“We’re done waiting,” Tate said. “The whole team is starting to fracture. You two move like you share one nervous system. Brooks almost collapsed in net because of hits *you* took, Captain. Tell us the full truth or we’re going to the coaches ourselves.”Callan closed the door and locked it. “Sit down.”The four of us gathered in the living room. Merrick leaned against the wall,
