Ice Between Rivals Chapter 42
Kai’s POVWhen Maya called, I didn’t hesitate.I was out of the building within minutes, crossing the grounds at a near-jog until the Falcons Academy gate came into view and there she was, standing on the other side of it. I nodded to the gatekeeper and he pulled it open without question.She had changed. That was the first thing I registered. She was taller, older, more composed in the way she held herself and yet, underneath all of it, she was still unmistakably her. Still Maya.She didn’t give me a moment to say a word. She launched herself at me, arms thrown around my neck. “Kai , I missed you so much.”I caught her, held her tightly, and didn’t let go for a long moment.I had missed her too. More than I’d let myself admit.We sat together after the tears had passed, side by side on a bench just inside the gate, the silence between us easy in the way only siblings can manage.“How are you?” she asked, studying my face.“I’m okay,” I said. And then, because I needed to know: “Ho
Ice Between Rivals Chapter 41 - The dinner
I made my way home slowly as evening settled over the neighbourhood, dragging my feet as though the pavement itself could delay the inevitable. Before I pushed open the front door, I exhaled a quiet, steadying sigh and then stepped inside.My heart sank immediately.Maya was already in the sitting room with her mother.I kept my eyes carefully averted from hers. However sincerely she had offered to guard my secret, I wasn’t fully convinced not yet. I gave a small, polite bow in Maggie’s direction instead. “Good evening, Mrs. Maggie.”“Oh, good evening, Noah.” She looked at me with warm, searching eyes. “How are you? You look rather pale, dear.”I sighed inwardly. So it was written all over my face.Before I could fumble for a response, Maya rose to her feet. “Mum, I really need to talk to Noah.”For a brief, suspended moment, Maggie looked surprised. “Are you two close?”“Yes, Mum. He’s my brother now.” Maya’s voice was easy, natural, completely unhurried. “It’s only right that we b

.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
