"Today," he agreed. "Harren arrives at noon. Voss at two. The Calloway pack at four." A pause. "Sable's team is already integrated. Theo is going to speak to the Alphas privately before the collective session tonight.""What is the collective session?" I said. "Exactly.""You," he said simply. "Showing them what you are.

MY BULLY STEPBROTHER IS A HOCKEY ALPHA chapter 51: The school complaint
The school had called Victor as the pack Alpha and as the parent.It had also called the local human authority.That was the point.Not the investigation itself. Bringing human attention to a werewolf matter. The oldest Council tactic in the book. When the wolf world wouldn't cooperate you complicated things by making the human world aware enough that wolves had to be careful.Victor was on the phone with the principal before Reid finished reading the complaint aloud.I sat in the study and listened to Victor handle it. The calm authority of a man who had been dealing with situations like this for thirty years, who knew exactly what language to use with human institutions and exactly what pressure points to apply and exactly how to make a complaint filed by an organization nobody had heard of look like exactly what it was.Twenty minutes later the complaint was under review, which meant it was effectively paused while the school figured out what it actually w

He listened.Then I told him what I was. Simply and without performance. What the Verath bloodline was. What it felt like to feel the bonds around you. What I had felt in his bond in the thirty seconds he had been on the call.He went still."What did you feel," he said carefully."Loyalty," I said. "Genuine and old. Every wolf in your pack connected to you because they want to be, not because they're afraid of what happens if they leave." I paused. "And grief. Something you lost about eight years ago that you have been carrying quietly ever since."Cassidy was quiet for a long time."My mate," he said finally. "Eight years ago.""I'm sorry," I said.He looked at me through the screen for a moment."I'll call you back in an hour," he said. And ended the call.He called back in forty minutes."I'm with you," he said. "What do you need from me."By eleven we had fifteen confirmed packs.The Council's six positions outside the propert

Saturday morning started quietly.Too quietly.I noticed it before I opened my eyes. The bond map of the house was the same as when I had fallen asleep. Everyone present. Everyone in their right places. Nothing missing.But something outside the house had changed.I lay still and reached further. Past the property line. Past the wards Maren had built along the treeline. Into the territory beyond.Something was moving out there.Not one thing. Several. Spread out and positioned deliberately. The way pieces were positioned on a board before a game started. Not attacking. Not yet. Just placed.Waiting.I got up.Jaxon was already awake.He was in the corridor outside my room when I opened the door. Still dressed from last night or already dressed again, I couldn't tell. His expression told me he had felt something too."You feel it," I said."Since four this morning," he said. "I didn't want to wake you.""How many," I said.
MY BULLY STEPBROTHER IS A HOCKEY ALPHA chapter 48: The truth
No preamble."I know," I said. "I'm sorry.""Sable's daughter too," she said. "And three others I can name and probably more I can't." She held my gaze. "I have been waiting for something I could use. Not revenge. I don't want revenge. I want the wolf world to see what they are." Her grip tightened slightly. "Can you do that?""Yes," I said."Show me," she said.I opened the bond map fully and I let her feel what I felt when I felt her. The truth of her bonds and what the scar of the severed Council connection looked like from outside her. The specific quality of something that had been manufactured and had broken when it came into contact with something real.She exhaled. Long and slow."Yes," she said. Quiet. Certain. "That's exactly what it felt like from the inside." She released my hands. "I'm with you."The collective session happened at eight.Victor's sitting room had been rearranged. The furniture moved to create a space that wasn't forma

Today," I said."Today," he agreed. "Harren arrives at noon. Voss at two. The Calloway pack at four." A pause. "Sable's team is already integrated. Theo is going to speak to the Alphas privately before the collective session tonight.""What is the collective session?" I said. "Exactly.""You," he said simply. "Showing them what you are. Letting them feel it directly rather than hearing about it secondhand." He paused. "Maren's design. Victor refined it. The idea is that no Alpha can go back to their territory and report to the Council that they saw nothing, felt nothing, had no basis for an independent position." He held my gaze. "We give them evidence they experienced personally. That can't be taken away from them afterward.""And if one of them reports to the Council instead," I said."Then we know which one and we plan accordingly," he said. Practical and unafraid. "We can't control what they do with what they experience. We can only make sure what they experi
MY BULLY STEPBROTHER IS A HOCKEY ALPHA chapter 46: The world shifted
Friday arrived like a held breath finally released.I felt it the moment I woke up. The quality of the morning different from every morning before it. Not tense exactly. Charged. The specific feeling of a day that had been coming for a long time and had finally decided to arrive.The bond map of the house was fuller than it had ever been. Sable and her four pack members in the east wing. Theo in the room beside my father. Maren already awake and moving through the house with the particular focused energy she carried when something significant was about to happen and she intended to be ready for it.Victor was in the kitchen at five thirty.He was making breakfast. Actual breakfast. Not the practical kind of food production that the house ran on most mornings but the deliberate kind, the kind that said people are coming and they should arrive to something that tells them what kind of house this is.I came downstairs and stopped in the kitchen doorway and watc
