His eyes sharpened. "What?"

"In the entryway. The first day." I held his gaze. "And at the bar before you knew who I was. Your wolf reacted to me. I saw it both times." I paused. "It's still doing it, isn't it."

Something crossed his face. Not denial. Not confirmation. The expression of someone who had been carrying a question they hadn't wanted asked out loud.

"Go to bed, Selene," he said quietly.

"That's not an answer."

"No." He held my gaze. "It's not."

He push

  • MY BULLY STEPBROTHER IS A HOCKEY ALPHA   chater 28: The full prophecy is revealed

    My father's name was Caius Ashford.I learned that in the first five minutes of sitting across from him in Victor's study. Not because I hadn't known it. I had seen it on documents, heard it from my mother in the rare moments she spoke about him at all. But hearing him say it himself, in his own voice, in the same room as me, made it real in a way it had never been from a distance.Caius. From the old language. It meant rejoice.He did not look like a man who had done much of that recently.He sat across from me with his hands folded on the desk and the particular stillness of someone who had been waiting a long time to say something and was now organizing it carefully because he only had one chance to say it right.Victor was in the room. Maren too. Jaxon stood near the window with his arms crossed, present and quiet, the way he was present and quiet when he had decided his job was to be there rather than to lead.My mother had chosen to stay in the kit

    He left us alone.My mother looked at me across the table. Her eyes were full but she wasn't crying. The particular composure of someone who had been strong for so long it had become structural."He loved you," she said. "From the first moment. That was never the question.""I know," I said quietly. And I did. I felt the truth of it the way I felt bonds now, not as information but as something known below the level of thought."Are you angry?" she asked.I thought about it honestly. "I don't know yet," I said. "Ask me after I've seen him."She nodded. Reached across the table and put her hand over mine.We sat like that until we heard the front door.Jaxon came in from his perimeter check at half past nine with Reid behind him and the focused quality of someone who had found something worth reporting.He came to the kitchen first. Looked at me. Read my face."You know," he said."Victor told me," I said. "About my father."Somethi

  • MY BULLY STEPBROTHER IS A HOCKEY ALPHA   chapter 26: Reunion-1

    I woke up to sunlight for the first time in days.Not the grey reluctant light of a morning that hadn't decided yet. Real sunlight, coming through the curtains at an angle that meant I had slept later than I intended and the world had continued without waiting for me to catch up.I lay still for a moment and took inventory.The power was there. Present and steady the way breathing was present and steady, the way a heartbeat was, something that had always been part of me and was simply no longer hidden. It sat quietly and read the house around me without being asked to. Victor in his study already. My mother in the kitchen. The pack members who had stayed overnight distributed through the guest rooms and the downstairs, their bonds warm and familiar already from last night.Jaxon.His bond was the brightest and most specific thing on the map, the way it always was. He was outside. Moving around the property with the particular quality of someone doing a perim

    Selene," he said. Low and quiet and just for me. "You walked into my house and dismantled every wall I had built and made my wolf certain about something my entire life had told me to be careful about." He looked at me with those open green eyes. "I don't want careful anymore. I want this. I want you." A pause. "If you'll have me. All of me. Including the parts that handled the beginning badly and are going to need you to be patient with the rest."The lamp light was warm. The house was quiet.I looked at the boy who had just said more honest words in thirty seconds than I had heard from him in weeks and felt the bond between us clear and warm and certain, the most real thing I had ever felt."Yes," I said softly.He exhaled. A small thing. Like something he had been holding released.Then he leaned in slowly. Giving me every moment of the approach. His forehead came to rest against mine first, the way it had that night in the bar in reverse, close and warm and s

    The light faded slowly.Not all at once. The way dawn faded stars, gradually and gently, until the room looked like a room again and the only light was the soft lamp on the nightstand that someone, Jaxon probably, had turned on at some point without me noticing.He was still there.He had moved from crouching to sitting on the edge of the bed beside me at some point during the fading, a transition so natural I hadn't marked it happening. His hand had moved from my face to his lap but the distance between us was small. The smallest it had ever been without something urgent requiring it.Downstairs the house had settled again. I heard Maren's voice once, low and certain, and then quiet. The pack bonds below me were calm. Steady. The particular quality of people who had felt something significant and were now processing it in the unhurried way of those who had lived long enough to know that some things needed to be sat with before they were spoken.My mother's

  • MY BULLY STEPBROTHER IS A HOCKEY ALPHA   chapter 23: The girl who was never ordinary-2

    By nine o'clock the house was full of people and quiet purpose and the low vibrating hum of a pack gathered in one place, their bonds to each other filling the rooms like something warm and structural.I sat on the stairs halfway up.Jaxon found me there at half past nine. He came up the stairs and sat beside me without asking, the way he had started doing things, the way I had started expecting him to. His shoulder against mine. His presence doing the thing it always did, settling the restless edge of the power into something steadier."How are you?" he said."Honest answer?""Always.""Terrified," I said. "And also more like myself than I have ever been in my life." I looked at him sideways. "Which is a strange combination.""It suits you," he said quietly.We sat for a moment. Below us the house moved with people and low voices and the extraordinary ordinary sound of a pack being a pack."I felt you," I said. "This afternoon. In the garden when
