The heavy, incredibly foul-smelling protective hockey gear felt exactly like a suffocating prison suit as I stood awkwardly near the edge of the freezing ice rink, desperately wishing I could simply disappear completely into the concrete walls of the arena.

The head coach was entirely ignoring my frantic, repeated protests, forcefully pushing a battered helmet into my chest and loudly ordering me to get out onto the blue line for the mandatory defensive scrimmage. I desperate

  • I Faked Being a Boy, Now the Alpha is my Mate   Twenty Three

    JORDAN The freezing, biting air of the Junylria evening felt incredibly refreshing against my damp hair as I pushed open the heavy glass doors of the athletic arena and stepped out onto the concrete pavement. I was mentally preparing myself for the quiet, solitary drive back to my apartment, but my plans were immediately ruined by the entirely unwelcome sight of Victoria Ashford waiting patiently near the front bumper of my parked vehicle.She stepped confidently up to me the absolute moment I approached, wrapping her manicured hands casually around the lapels of my heavy jacket and pressing her soft lips directly against mine in a practiced, entirely performative kiss. I tolerated the physical contact without violently pulling away, quietly noting with a heavy sense of depressing resignation that my wolf was finally getting used to not wanting to physically strangle her every single time she entered my personal space. The suffocating, inescapable reality of our forced arrangement w

    EMBERLY LYNNWOOD The heavy, incredibly foul-smelling protective hockey gear felt exactly like a suffocating prison suit as I stood awkwardly near the edge of the freezing ice rink, desperately wishing I could simply disappear completely into the concrete walls of the arena. The head coach was entirely ignoring my frantic, repeated protests, forcefully pushing a battered helmet into my chest and loudly ordering me to get out onto the blue line for the mandatory defensive scrimmage. I desperately tried to explain that my designated academic supervisor position absolutely did not require me to participate in highly dangerous contact drills with massive werewolves, but he completely shut my argument down without a second thought. He aggressively reminded me that hundreds of legitimate collegiate athletes would happily kill someone for this exact amount of premium ice time, leaving me with absolutely no choice but to secure the chin strap of the massive helmet and step out onto the slip

    JORDAN 3 DAYS LATERThe heavy, vibrating buzz of my encrypted phone against the kitchen counter violently shattered the quiet of my apartment, yanking me entirely out of my exhausted, brooding thoughts. I had spent the last three days completely ignoring the mandatory hockey practices and violently snapping at anyone who dared to speak to me while I waited for Cael to finalize his dangerous cyber investigation.I snatched the phone from the granite surface and answered it immediately. "Tell me you did not fail me, Cael.""I never fail when the stakes are this incredibly high, Jordan, but I have to admit, this particular secret was buried deeper than anything I have ever encountered in my entire career," Cael announced, his voice practically vibrating with an overwhelming mixture of sheer exhaustion and massive, undeniable triumph. "We hit the absolute jackpot.""Do not speak in riddles, Cael. Tell me exactly what you found hidden in her pristine closet," I demanded, leaning heavily a

    EMBERLY LYNNWOOD The freezing, biting autumn wind whipped aggressively through the towering concrete canyons of the college campus, forcing me to bury my freezing hands deep into the oversized pockets of my heavy gray hoodie as I hurried away from the literature building. The sprawling, bustling metropolis of Junylria always felt exactly like an overwhelming sensory overload, a massive city filled with honking yellow taxis, towering glass skyscrapers, and thousands of rushed pedestrians who were completely oblivious to the dangerous decisions secretly running their government."Emberly! Hey, wait up a second!" a bright, familiar voice called out over the loud ambient noise of the busy street.I stopped walking and turned around to see Nina jogging quickly toward me, her bright red curls bouncing wildly around her face as she clutched a massive stack of heavy textbooks to her chest. A genuine, relieved smile broke through my exhausted, defensive facade as she finally caught up to me

  • I Faked Being a Boy, Now the Alpha is my Mate   Chapter Nineteen

    AUTHOR'S POV.The sprawling, opulent office of Alpha Magnus Draven was completely silent, save for the rhythmic, steady ticking of the antique grandfather clock standing in the corner. Alpha Magnus stood near the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, staring coldly down at the glittering, sprawling city of Junylria that operated entirely under his ruthless command. He did not turn around when the heavy oak doors opened and Beta Ronan stepped quietly into the office."I trust you bring me useful information regarding my son's ongoing, pathetic rebellion, Ronan?" Magnus asked, his voice entirely devoid of emotion.Beta Ronan stood rigidly at attention, his hands clasped firmly behind his back. "I have monitored Jordan's activities at the college extensively, Alpha. He is incredibly distracted, but not by the usual temptations. I believe I have found the absolute perfect candidate to monitor his daily movements and report back to us."Magnus slowly turned away from the window, his cold gray

  • I Faked Being a Boy, Now the Alpha is my Mate   Chapter Eighteen

    EMBERLYJust twenty minutes before Jordan completely lost his mind on the ice, I was standing quietly near the staff benches, diligently logging the lateral speed metrics on my digital tablet. The freezing air was biting aggressively through my oversized hoodie, but I was doing my absolute best to remain entirely invisible.That plan was completely ruined when the heavy arena doors opened and the Ice Queen herself arrived.She walked into the stadium like she owned the entire Junylria territory, flanked by four terrifyingly large security guards who looked ready to snap someone's neck for simply breathing too loudly. She wore an immaculate, blindingly white coat that probably cost more than my entire lifetime of wages. I watched in absolute disgust as she haughtily ordered one of her massive guards to force a freshman student to move from his seat simply so she could have the "best possible view" of the ice. I instantly pegged her as a spoiled entitled bitch who had never heard the
