Ice Between Rivals Chapter 98
I walked back to the academy with the anger sitting high in my chest, bright and hot and looking for somewhere to go.We were friends. I had believed that. I had let myself believe it — the grapes, the late nights, the hot water bottles, the assignments done in borrowed handwriting, standing on an ice rink in front of everyone and telling his best friend to stop. I had believed we were past the version of us that hurt each other without thinking.And then he had stood in that restaurant and looked at me with that face — I’m disappointed in you, Noah — while she stood behind him with her hands on his arm and her manufactured distress and her very convenient story, and he had chosen it. Chosen her version without asking me a single question.I blinked hard going through the corridor.I was not going to cry in a hallway.The room was empty when I got back — the boys not returned yet. I stood in the doorway for a moment and looked at my side of the room. His side. The space between the tw

Hanna’s POVI sat on the bed and let the anger settle properly.Noah. That was the problem — Noah, who had smiled at me across that table with complete serenity, who had said twice today with the specific pleasantness of someone turning a key in a lock. He had known. From the moment I walked into Davis’s bar he had known everything, and he had sat there and let me talk and watched my face and said nothing until the moment that would land hardest.I did not like people who held things quietly and then used them.The way Kai had been with him from the beginning had told me there was something inconvenient about Noah — the attention, the closeness, the way Kai’s mood organised itself around whether Noah was in the room. I had noticed it at the restaurant. I had noticed it in the cab. I had filed it and now I was opening the file.Noah was not going to make me lose my men. Either of them.I found his number in my phone and looked at it.Good thing I collected it, I thought. Very good thin

On the way back to the academy the cab was quiet.Not the comfortable quiet we had found between us over the past weeks — the easy, settled kind that didn’t need filling. This was different. Kai sat beside me and looked out the window and said nothing, and the nothing had a quality to it that I recognised.I looked at him. “Do you like her?”He turned. “Does it matter, Noah?”“Of course it matters.”“No,” he said. Flat. Final. “It doesn’t.”He looked back out the window and the set of his jaw told me the conversation was finished whether I agreed or not. I let it be. I wanted to tell him what I had found on my phone — the photo, my cousin, the pieces fitting together — but I needed to be certain first. A photo was not proof. A tagged post was not a confession. I needed something solid.I said nothing.The journey finished in the same quiet it had started in.At the academy gates I stopped. “Go ahead. I’ll find you there.”He looked at me for half a second — something moving behind his

“What are you doing here?”Kai’s voice came out flat with shock rather than coldness. He stood in the doorway looking at her like someone who has opened a door expecting one thing and found something categorically different.“I came to see you,” she said. Her voice was soft, her eyes softer — the specific quality of someone who knows the effect they have and has decided to use it. She crossed the room and wrapped her arms around him before he’d finished processing her presence, pulling him into the hug with the easy confidence of someone who considers this their right.Kai extracted himself carefully. “How did you know my dorm?”She smiled. “Kai. You know I always find what I want.” She tilted her head. “I spoke to your coach personally. He said you’re allowed out with me. It’s been so long — we need to catch up properly.” Her eyes moved past him to me, briefly. “I already met your roommate. I don’t know his name.”“He’s not just my roommate,” Kai said. “He’s my brother.”She blinked.

“No way.” “Come on.” I kept my voice reasonable. “I’m not going to hurt you. I just — you smell good. I want to know what it is.” “No.” “It’s not like you’ve never hugged me before—” “If you bring that up one more time,” he said, with complete evenness, “you’re going back to your own bed right now.” “I’m sorry.” I said it immediately. “I won’t mention it again.” “Good.” A pause. “So why won’t you go back to your own bed?” “I’m getting more from here. The light is better and I’m in the middle of something.” He sighed the long-suffering sigh of someone who has made a decision they know they’re going to regret. “Fine, Kai.” I stretched out properly. He lay down on my back — just like that, with the casual ease of someone who has assessed the available space and made a practical decision about it. “Why—” “Because you’re on my bed,” he said into my shoulder. “So face it.” I faced it. I read. The room got quieter as the building settled into night. The words on the page were

Kai’ POV When I finally came back to myself, Noah was on his bed. Turned toward the wall. Quiet in the deliberate, effortful way that isn’t actually sleep — the stillness of someone who has decided to be unreachable. “Noah.” I kept my voice soft. “Hey.” Nothing. I reached for my phone to check the time. Hanna’s message was on the screen. Please can you talk to me babe? Are you busy? Something moved in my chest before I’d finished reading it. A small, involuntary skip — the particular response of a heart that hasn’t fully finished with something it thought it had put down. I looked at the message for a moment. Then I put the phone face down on the table. Quickly. Deliberately. I looked at Noah’s back instead. “Noah, come on. Talk to me. Are you okay?” I leaned forward. “You didn’t eat. Come on — come and eat with me, both of us together—” “Why are you focused on me?” His voice came out muffled, aimed at the wall. “Go and reply to your babe and eat your food.”

POV: Ava CarterI did not even blink."It belongs to a girl I am seeing," I said.Kai looked at me for a long moment. The locker room was almost empty now. Just the two of us and the hum of the lights and the hair tie sitting in his open palm between us."A girl," he said."Yeah.""You are seeing a

looked at him with a calm face but my mind was already working fast behind it.“During the game one of your teammates hurt my hand,” I said, trying to hide my fear . “I didn’t want to tell Coach Merritt. He would have benched me. So I’ve been using my left. My right hand is in pain.”Liam’s face d

I looked at the pictures again.“Are you sure?” I asked. I heard how it sounded but I couldn’t help it. “You’re absolutely sure that’s your brother?”Maya looked at me with patient eyes. “I know it’s strange. We left my father’s house when we were young. My mum took us and we never went back.” She
