Tamara’s POV

The news spread through campus like wildfire that morning.

I was in the library studying when Elena found me, her eyes bright with something that looked like pure vindication. She pulled me to a quiet corner, lowering her voice but unable to hide her excitement despite trying.

“Mara was arrested this morning by pack enforcers,” she said clearly. “Full charges. Kidnapping, conspiracy with a witch, attempted power theft through dark magic. They took her i

  • In love with my Ex’s Rival:The Ice Hockey Rival   The truth beneath

    Mara’s PovI woke up and didn't recognize where I was.The ceiling was unfamiliar. The bed was soft. The room was quiet.Then I saw him.My father was sitting in a chair beside the bed, watching me sleep. His expression was peaceful like everything had gone exactly according to plan."Good morning," he said. "How are you feeling?""Dad," I said. My voice was rough from sleep. "What time is it?""Almost noon," he said. "You slept for hours. You needed it."I sat up slowly and looked at him."How are you feeling now?" he asked. Like it mattered. "Good," I said. "I'm... I'm okay."But I wasn't okay. Something felt wrong. The way he was looking at me felt wrong."Dad," I started. "About what you did. About breaking me out. I don't like….""You don't like what?" he asked. His voice had changed. It was sharper now."I don't like that you broke the law," I said carefully. "I don't like that you gave up everything for…..""For you," he finished. "I did this for you, Mara. All of it. Everythi

  • In love with my Ex’s Rival:The Ice Hockey Rival   Refusing to break

    Tamara’s PovThe young council member found me between the ceremony and the pictures.I was standing with Elena and Paul, still in my gown, laughing about something stupid Paul had said. For a moment, I'd actually forgotten about Mara's father. Then he appeared.Younger man in a suit. Council insignia on his jacket. He looked like he was carrying news that would change everything.He pulled me aside gently."Tamara," he said. "I need to speak with you privately.""What's wrong?" I asked.He glanced around to make sure no one was listening."Mara escaped," he said quietly. "From Council custody. This afternoon. Her father broke her out."The words didn't make sense for a second."What?" I said."About two hours ago," he continued. "Prison break. Two guards paid off. They're gone. Mara and her father both. The Council has declared a state of emergency."I felt my legs go weak."He's going to come for me," I said. Statement of fact."That's why I'm here," he said. "The Council needs yo

    Council’s PovElder Hess was reviewing detention reports when the call came through.He listened to the warden for less than a minute before calling an emergency Council session.When we were assembled, Elder Carver was pacing."Gone," he was saying. "Just gone. How is that possible?""The guards were paid off," Elder Morrison said. "That's the only explanation.""Two guards," Elder Hess said. He stood at the table's head. "Coleman and Carter. Both on rotation. Both disappeared.""How much money are we talking about?" I asked."Enough to make it worth their careers," Elder Hess said. "Enough to make it worth their freedom."The chamber was silent for a moment."When?" Elder Carver demanded."Three to three-thirty this afternoon," Elder Hess said. "During shift change. Next rotation found the cell empty."Graduation was happening at Crestwood College right now. Tamara Angel on that stage accepting her diploma. Not knowing Mara's father had just escaped with his daughter this afternoon.

    Mara’s father’s PovThe car was running.I sat with my hands on the wheel and watched the clock tick toward the moment. Everything was in place. Today was the day.My heart pounded in my chest like it wanted to break through my ribs. This was really happening. The signal came through on the burner phone. One word….. ready.I pulled out of the parking lot slowly, carefully, driving like I wasn't in a desperate hurry to get to my daughter. The Council would be monitoring the threats on Tamara Angel. Lucas and Garrett would be at the ceremony. The guards would be thinking about getting through their shift.And Mara would be waiting.The facility was forty minutes away. I knew the route by heart. Coleman was waiting.He was already there leaning against the fence like this was routine. He opened the gate. I drove through.The back entrance to the facility was exactly as one of my men had described. It was small usedfor deliveries and waste removal. Not the kind of place anyone watche

  • In love with my Ex’s Rival:The Ice Hockey Rival   The Ceremony

    Tamara’s Pov"Tamara" Elena rushed over, breathless. "There you are. Where have you been?""Right here," I said. "Talking to Paul.""Well, come on," Elena said, pulling at my arm. "The ceremony is about to start. Let's go and graduate."She dropped her hand and gestured for Paul to follow. The three of us headed toward the auditorium together.That's when I saw Lucas.He looked like he'd finally settled into himself. He was graduating too. All of us. Our whole group graduating together.Lucas saw us and nodded. We were all too focused on moving forward for anything else.The auditorium was packed with families. The stage was set with chairs for graduates. The dean stood at the podium. Our names were called alphabetically, and we walked across the stage one by one.When they called my name, Tamara Angel, the entire room erupted into applause. I felt it in my chest like a physical thing. All the people who'd believed in me. Who'd supported me through the safe house and the threats and t

  • In love with my Ex’s Rival:The Ice Hockey Rival   The graduation day

    Tamara’s PovI looked at myself in the mirror and barely recognized the person staring back.The gown fit perfectly. Cream-colored, simple, elegant……No fuss. My hair was down, curled at the ends the way I liked it. My makeup was soft but there. I looked good. For the first time in weeks…..I looked like myself again.This was it. Graduation.Four years of college, and today it was all ending. All the stress and late nights and impossible choices. This moment where I could finally say I made it through.I kept staring at my reflection like I was trying to memorize it. Like I needed to hold onto this version of myself. The one who wasn't scared. The one who could smile at herself and feel like maybe everything was going to be okay.The knock on the door came soft."Come in," I called.Garrett walked in and I actually stopped breathing for a second.Black suit. It fit him like it was made specifically for his body. His tie was silver and caught the light. His hair was slicked back and he
