There are other people waiting for Aidan but me and Sylas were the first to arrive, so we have a chance to see him earlier than the others.

    We are waiting backstage.There are other people waiting for Aidan but me and Sylas were the first to arrive, so we have a chance to see him earlier than the others.“You’re trembling.” Sylas says I try to calm my nerves but I fail miserably.I don’t know what to tell Aidan when I see him. I don’t know how he would react. I want to slap him and ask him why he’s putting himself in such a situation. He says hockey is his life and yet here he is, snapping bones in the middle of the night. How did he get so strong?“Don’t you think that you don’t have any right to tell him what to do? Since you betrayed his trust? If you were still his mate then things might have been different” Ayla says and for the first time, she’s making sense.This is a really bad idea, I can feel it in my bones.The door opens and Aidan steps in. I cross my hands over my chest, hiding my shaky hands as he starts making his way towards us.I can’t run now, I definitely cannot hide.“You did well.” A man in a dark s

    The night is stark and the air is filled with something that feels like sin. I don’t know if it’s the effect Sylas Reid has on me… but it’s a feeling I am afraid of.He’s sitting comfortably at the edge of the leather couch, while I’m nestled at the opposite couch.I study the viper on his forearm, I wonder why it’s two headed.“How long did it take?” I ask, sipping a drink.He lifts his arm and studies the snake like it’s the first time he’s seeing it. “I did it in one sitting.” His tone is somewhat clipped but his eyes are wistful. “No numbing cream, no alcohol, just silence.”“It’s beautiful.”“Thank you. Do you have any tattoos?”“No, but I’m not totally against it.”I am not the kind to like tattoos but I am the kind to appreciate a good work of art.I look around the semi dark room, I can’t see anyone at the far corners but I can tell that they’re a few couples making out here and there. There’s also a dark figure sitting by our right, the smoke from his cigar is almost choking

    I turn around to find Esmeralda and Lilly staring at me with shock, their eyes as wide as saucers. Em turns her gaze to the door, where Sylas had walked out just seconds ago. “When were you going to tell us?” Lilly asks, taking a step towards me. “Tell you what?”“Oh Dahlia, please. We saw them. Three hockey stars in one place? What's going on?” “Nothing.” The look of disappointment on both their faces literally melts my heart. “It's not what you think and it's way more complicated than it seems.”“I understand, it's none of our business.” Esmeralda says and Lilly grunts. “No Lilly, it's really none of our business. If you ever need to talk, remember what I said earlier.” Esmeralda squeezes my arm and walks by but Lilly sulks and goes back into the storage room. I lean against the counter and take a deep breath in. Why the hell did I accept Sylas's request? Would it not confirm Jace's suspicions? And why the hell is Sylas Reid asking me out. “I'm so stupid.” I whisper to myself.

    “Bless you.” Lilly says handing me a tissue.She looks like she’s about to take me to the hospital if I sneeze one more time.“Thanks. I think I’ll have to make my way back to bed. I don’t feel too well.” I say to her as I wipe my nose.“Sorry, how long were you in the rain?”I had told her the story of how I left the library but I didn’t specify who gave me a ride, I just told her he was a knight in shining armor. “A long while, I can’t guess how long.”The storage door is open so I can see Esmeralda running to us. Her face is red and her eyes are wide with a mix of terror and excitement. “Dahlia, there’s someone behind the counter. He is asking for you.”I push myself off the wall and toss the tissue into the bin.“You will not believe it.” She says jumping and clapping.“Who?”“Jace Rossi.”“Wait, the hockey player?” Lilly asks, surprise is written all over her face.I feel the blood drain from my veins. This can not be good.Seeing my reaction, Esmeralda’s face pales.“Dahlia, a

    Cheers erupts throughout the arena. We won. I won. My breathing comes fast and hard. I turn to the audience, my face is plastered on the big screen and everyone is on their feet, chanting my name.“Aidan!… Aidan”I’m almost knocked out of my feet as a force comes crashing at my side. “You did it.” Damir says banging his hand hard against my back.Jace is on me the next second, clapping my helmet.“We fucking won!” I turn my attention back to the audience. I look towards the club seating, where my dad said he would be seating. But it’s not him I’m looking for… or Mrs Rhea. My dad and I haven’t spoken in three months but he sent a message earlier today, saying that Dahlia would be seating with them. The information had thrown me off my feet and sent me down a spiral. I always wondered if she came to watch me play.My dad had assured me that she was coming. Was he trying to stretch an olive branch? I hold my breath as I scan the club seating and a clog lodges in my throat as I spot

    “Ready for the big game?” Esmeralda asks as she pours coffee beans into the grinder.“I don’t think I’m going,”“You’re not going?” Luke asks, as he grabs the box and places it in his courier bag.“No, I don’t…” My phone vibrates on the counter. I grab it and stare at the screen.“Wait, I just got a text from my mum.” I say to Esmeralda ‘Honey, your dad and I are on campus. We came to watch Aidan play. I’ll text you our seat number so you can come and join us.”I’m about to tell her that I would not be coming but I think better of it and drop my phone. If she doesn’t see me, my absence would speak for itself.“I’ll go to the library instead. I have a presentation next week and I need to study.” Esmeralda shrugs but she doesn’t peel her eyes away from me. “What?”“Is something wrong?” She asks quietly I pause, “Everything is fine, why are you asking?”“It’s been two months since we met. You’re an amazing boss, an amazing person but you’ve had that look since the first time I saw y
