Ice Between Rivals Chapter 40
.Words failed me completely.My mouth opened and nothing came out not a denial, not an excuse, not even a sound. I just stood there, frozen, the blood draining from my face, and then my knees buckled and I stumbled sideways.Maya was out of the bed before I hit the floor. She caught me by the arm and guided me down to sit on the edge of the mattress, her hands steady where mine were shaking.She knelt in front of me and looked at me for a long moment. Not with anger. Not with judgment. Just with the quiet patience of someone who had already decided they were going to wait for the truth.“Ava,” she said gently. “Why are you here? I thought you went to Europe.”I pressed my hands over my face. Held them there. Breathed.Then I lowered them and looked at her.“Yes,” I said. My voice came out small and exhausted and completely stripped of pretense. “Yes, Maya. It’s me.”She waited.“My father wouldn’t let me pursue my dream. Not hockey, not any of it the world wasn’t going to let me eit

I must have fallen asleep without realizing it, because one moment I was staring at the ceiling drowning in my thoughts, and the next I was being pulled out of darkness by a voice I recognized immediately.“Brother, wake up. Are you tired from all that training?”I thought I was dreaming. I was sure of it. But when my eyes opened, Maya was right there sitting on the edge of my bed, leaning over me, close enough that I could see the brightness in her eyes.I sat up so fast the room spun.And then I saw Kai. Standing just behind her, arms crossed, face unreadable.The sweat came instantly. I felt it prick at the back of my neck, my palms, the base of my spine.“Are you okay?” Maya asked, tilting her head.“I’m fine,” I managed. “Yes. Fine.”She smiled, completely unbothered by my horror, and reached over to squeeze my arm. “I’ve finally met Kai properly after being apart for so long . I’m so happy, Noah I have two brothers now, and a si”“That’s so good, Maya.” I cut her off before t

The second time he asked, I couldn’t pretend I hadn’t heard him.He crossed the room in two strides and pulled me close, his grip firm, his eyes searching my face with an intensity that made it impossible to look away.“Noah.” His voice dropped low. “Answer me. Last time.”I exhaled slowly. “Fine.” I pulled myself back, putting space between us, needing it. “I didn’t know either, alright? I didn’t know until I was already in this this situation. I didn’t choose this.” I met his eyes. “That woman is my father’s wife. His new wife. And that girl is her daughter.”The sound he made wasn’t quite a laugh. It was something rawer than that a short, pained scoff that seemed to come from somewhere deep and unguarded.“Do you know who she is?” he said quietly. “Do you even know who that woman is to me?”I held his gaze. “I do.” A beat. “She’s your mother.”The confusion on his face didn’t fade slowly. It collapsed all at once replaced by something that looked like total betrayal.“You knew.”

I picked up on the third ring.My hand was trembling slightly but I managed to steady my voice. “Hello?”“Hello, brother!” Maya’s voice came through bright and warm, like she hadn’t a single care in the world. “How are you?”“I’m… fine,” I said slowly.“Good, good because I wanted to come and have you introduce me to Kai.”My heart dropped straight to the floor.I wasn’t ready for that. Not even close.I started moving without thinking, pacing the length of the room, back and forth, my pulse climbing with every step. I pressed my free hand to my chest as if that would somehow slow it down.“Uhm,” I started carefully, “we’re kind of busy right now. The training schedule has been really intense we have matches coming up, so”She sighed. “I figured as much. But I really want to see him before I go back to school, Ava. Just a quick introduction, it doesn’t have to be”The door swung open.Kai walked in.I hung up instantly.He stopped in the doorway, eyes moving from my face to the phon

“I’ll be leaving the first half of training to Noah,” Coach Merrit announced, his voice carrying easily across the rink. “He’ll monitor you while I handle something urgent. I’ll be back.” And just like that, he was gone.The weight of every pair of eyes shifted to Ava at once. For a fraction of a second, uncertainty moved through her — but she caught it before it could surface, smoothing her expression and squaring her shoulders.She hadn’t even opened her mouth when Kai’s voice cut through the silence, low and deliberate, pitched just loud enough for everyone to hear.“If you don’t know what to do, just say so.”Her blood went hot instantly. But she didn’t flinch. Instead, a slow, composed smile pulled at the corner of her lips.“Exactly,” she said. She crossed her arms and let her gaze settle on him with the calm of someone who had already won. “Let’s start with you. Come here.”The silence that followed was absolute. Every player stilled. Ava was summoning Kai — not like a captain
Ice Between Rivals Chapter 35
POV: Ava CarterI had not expected Kai to push me like that.The moment I hit the floor the rage moved through me so fast and so hot that I had to press my mouth shut to keep it inside. I stood up and Liam had his arm around me and was already moving us toward the door but my mind was already making a different decision.Outside in the corridor Liam turned to me.“Come to my academy tonight,” he said. “You don’t have to go back in there.”I looked at the door we had just come through.Then I shook my head.“I have to face my fears,” I said quietly. “I have to face him. No matter what. I am not going to let him take the upper hand.” I straightened up. “I am going back in there and I am sleeping in that room.”Liam looked at me with something between admiration and worry sitting on his face at the same time. “What if he hurts you?”“He won’t,” I said. “Not unless he wants to be expelled. And I don’t think Kai Bennett wants that for himself.”Liam was quiet for a moment. Then he nodded s
