Married to My Rival Alpha(MM Romance) Chapter 105: The Iron Scent
Sebastian's POVThe tires of the transport scraped against the gravel driveway of the valley estate. I did not wait for the vehicle to stop before I opened the door and got out. The night air was cool. It did not smell like the pine trees. It felt heavy and weird.The two Black Shield guards who were supposed to be at the gate were lying against the stone pillars. Their rifles were resting against their knees. They were not moving."Aris," I said in a serious voice. "Check the area around the estate."I took out my gun. It felt familiar in my hand. I walked onto the porch. My boots made no noise on the wooden floor. The front door was open a bit, and a strange mist was coming out. It was not smoke. It did not have any smell. It made the hair on my arms stand up.I pushed the door open with my foot. Went inside. The big room had three people lying on the floor. They were breathing slowly. Their skin looked pale and blue under the fancy lights."Someone used poison," Aris said from behi
Married to My Rival Alpha(MM Romance) Chapter 104: Taken
Elliot POVThe light from the stun gun crackled in the damp air. I knew the setup was a trap the moment Julian spoke up. My feet felt stuck to the floor."You never could stay away from a team play, Elliot," Julian said. His boots scraped against the grit as he aimed the gun at my chest.I didn't waste time talking. I reached behind me with my hand and grabbed a loose piece of iron pipe. It was leaning against the water pump. I dug my heels into the concrete. Used all my strength to lift the metal. My shoulders hurt from the effort. I twisted my body. Threw the heavy pipe straight at Julian's face.My big belly got in the way. I lost my balance. My left ankle gave out. I stumbled sideways. My hip hit the edge of the transformer casing hard.The pipe missed Julian's head by inches. It hit the wall behind him with a loud clang. Sparks flew into the corners. The pipe rolled across the floor.He didn't even flinch. He simply moved to the left. His eyes watched me with focus."You are too
Married to My Rival Alpha(MM Romance) Chapter 103: The Suite Breach
Elliot POVThe small monitor on the crate started buzzing. The fuzzy picture of the moving vehicle was cut out. My husband's image was replaced with lines of raw data. The speaker made a hiss, and then a clear voice came through the static."He is fast," Julian said. He stood behind the camera line, breathing normally. "He is looking in the wrong sector, Captain."I tried to strain against the plastic tie on my wrist. The cold edge dug into my skin."He has your location. You heard him. He is five minutes away.""He is five minutes away from a warehouse," Julian said. The camera moved a bit, showing a layout of the arena where the championship game was happening. "Your husband thinks he needs to do a rescue. He does not understand that the real play is already happening on the ice."I took a breath through my nose. I was trying to ease the ache in my lower spine. My hands were flat on my stomach, feeling the hard knot of a phantom contraction."The game is tied, Julian. The players ar
Married to My Rival Alpha(MM Romance) Chapter 102: The Zero-Sum Shift
Sebastian POVThe locker room was really quiet except for my teammates' breathing. The air smelled bad, like sweat and some kind of medicine. I sat on a bench, my skates tied tight, looking down at the black floor mats. My white jersey was dirty with grey marks on it. I had been searching for my mate for twenty-four hours in a hospital, tearing doors off their hinges.I couldn't smell my mate's cedar scent anywhere in the stadium. It hurt a lot, like an ache in my chest. It made me want to break things. I gripped my stick so hard it might break.The door opened. Aris walked in. He was wearing a vest under his suit. He didn't look at the players. He just came to me."The league board said no to our appeal," Aris said quietly. "They will take away our team forever if I don't play in the period. The TV people are already here. The boss is worried about their contracts."I stood up, towering over him. My eyes got hot and angry. I grabbed his vest and pulled him close."My pregnant mate is
Married to My Rival Alpha(MM Romance) Chapter 101: Third Trimester Lockdown
Elliot POVThe cold hit me first.It went through my clothes, making my skin prickle and my joints hurt. I blinked hard because my eyelids felt heavy and my vision was blurry. A single bright light above me slowly became clear. The noisy media room from the arena was gone. I wasn't in the room or the armored SUV. The air didn't smell like cedar; it smelled like ground, old metal, and cleaner.I tried to move to ease the pressure on my back. A loud metal sound stopped me. My left wrist was tied to the armrest of a wooden chair with a thick plastic tie. The plastic dug into my skin as I pulled against it. It didn't budge.My heart started racing when I panicked. I looked down at my body. My hands were on my pregnant belly. The black suit jacket I wore for the press conference was gone. I was left with my white shirt, which was wet with sweat. My stomach hurt from the stress and panic."Hey!" I shouted. My voice was dry and barely echoed off the walls. The sound died down in the air.The
Married to My Rival Alpha(MM Romance) Chapter 100: The Countdown Ends
Sebastian POVThe glass window of the security box shook violently as the explosion's sound wave hit the stadium walls.In a split second, the bright lights in the arena just died.The security monitors in front of my desk went dark, their screens turning into squares.I did not wait. My hand went to the holster under my left arm. I pulled out my gun, the cold metal feeling in my hand.Twenty minutes ago, I was with Elliot in the room behind the stage. His belly was big and round against my stomach as I hugged him from behind. I buried my face in the side of his neck. Smelled the cedar scent to keep him calm before the reporters came."I have guards, baby," I whispered to him, kissing his temple. "Just make your statements. Keep it short. Then we go home."Elliot leaned his head back on my shoulder, his hands on top of mine on his belly. "I know, hubby. I am ready. Our baby wants this to be too."Now that feeling of safety was gone. I felt a spike of panic.The backup generators did n

Elliot POV The weight of Sebastian's words hung in the freezing air between us. It was sharper than the sub-zero wind cutting through the stadium.If we lose this game, Devereux wins the narrative.I looked at the linesman's hand. I blocked out the eighty thousand screaming fans. I also blocked ou
Married to My Rival Alpha(MM Romance) Chapter 48- Locking the Doors
Sebastian POV My rear tires screeched on the concrete of the underground loading bay. The black SUV jerked forward, its steel bumper just clearing the closing security gate. I saw camera flashes through the tinted window. The media had tracked us from the practice rink to the tower in under twelve
