Married to My Rival Alpha(MM Romance) Chapter 57- The Thin Edge Part 2
Elliot POV The puck flew off my blade. It whistled past the goalie's blocker and struck the inside upper twine of the net with a sharp ping.The red light exploded behind the glass.The stadium erupted into madness. Eighty thousand people screamed simultaneously. The sound waves vibrated through the concrete and ice. My teammates swarmed me; they lifted me off my feet as we crashed against the boards in an ecstatic celebration.We had done it. 3-2.The final ten seconds ticked away after the puck drop. The horn sounded to signal the end of the Mid-Season Classic. The Redmoor Wolves had won the battle.As the teams skated toward the center ice for the post-game handshakes, the tension remained thick. Allen skated up to me, his face a mask of defeat. He shook my hand with a brief grip."You won the game, Elliot Gray," Allen muttered. His eyes narrowed as he leaned in. "You can't run from the truth forever. The media is waiting in the tunnel. Enjoy the jersey while you still have it."I
Married to My Rival Alpha(MM Romance) Chapter 56-The Thin Edge Part 1
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 out the flashing cameras and my husband standing at the glass. Sebastian was right. The franchise was secure under his asset firm; however, the public perception was balancing on a razor's edge. The internet was already alive with rumors and blind items about a "biological cover-up" on the Redmoor roster. If we lost tonight, the league would use the defeat to validate my removal. They would spin it as a team compromised by distraction.If we won, we controlled the ice. As long as we controlled the ice, they couldn't force me off it without a riot.Allen dropped lower into his stance. His heavy frame shifted as he tried to crowd my space over the dot. He didn't know the truth yet. Nobody on the
Married to My Rival Alpha(MM Romance) Chapter 55-The Mid-Season Classic
Elliot POVThe winter air was biting my cheeks. I stood in the stadium tunnel, my chest going up and down under my Redmoor Wolves jersey. The noise of the crowd was loud, like a rumble that made my steel skates vibrate on the floor. This was the Mid-Season Classic, a game played outside in the cold.The cold was not the only tough thing tonight."Elliot, look at me," Sebastian said. I turned around, my skates scraping on the floor. He was wearing a black coat and a suit, looking very serious.The league had tried to hurt us after a fight. They tried to stop the Redmoor Wolves from playing, to take away my right to play, to keep us apart. Sebastian acted fast. He made the team separate from the company, so the league could not touch us. He made sure our contracts were safe, and the arena was still ours. He even sued the league so they would leave us alone.The Redmoor Wolves were still. I was still on the ice."I'm looking, hubby," I said quietly, my voice a little muffled by my neck g
Married to My Rival Alpha(MM Romance) Chapter 54- The Corporate Strike
Sebastian POVThe rain was hitting the glass of the league management headquarters in New York. It sounded like gravel hitting a tin roof. The morning was bleak and grey. The sky was low; it seemed to be choking the skyscrapers.Inside the boardroom of the League Compliance Division, it was even colder. I stood at the head of the mahogany conference table, my shadow stretching across the wood. It was blocking the light from the window. I did not take off my overcoat; I did not sit down.Commissioner Devereux was sitting at the end. He looked small behind his desk. He was surrounded by stacks of folders and three of his top compliance officers. He was a man who lived by rules and bylaws; he believed the paperwork made him powerful. He was wrong."You cannot simply halt a biological audit, Sebastian," Devereux said. His voice was flat. He was tapping a fountain pen against his palm. "The integrity of the league relies on compliance. If your captain is a Beta but possesses Omega markers,
Married to My Rival Alpha(MM Romance) Chapter 53- The Ice Fractures
Elliot POVThe light from the phone screen cut through the dark kitchen like a sharp knife. I stood still, my bare feet stuck to the floor, staring at the message until the words became a blur.I know what you're hiding under your jersey.My thumbs shook as I held the phone. A heavy silence filled the penthouse, broken by the sound of rain hitting the glass. The peace we had built earlier disappeared in a second, leaving behind a reality. The screen went dark. The words stayed in my mind."Elliot?"Sebastian's voice was low and serious. It was the tone he used when someone crossed a line on the ice, sharp and commanding. The relaxed Alpha who was teasing me on the couch was gone.Before I could answer, the floor creaked behind me. Sebastian crossed the kitchen in two strides. His bare chest was warm against my back as he leaned over my shoulder, looking at the text message. I felt his muscles tense. The air in the room became heavy with a scent."Give me the phone," he said, his voice
Married to My Rival Alpha(MM Romance) Chapter 52- The Penthouse Sanctuary
Elliot POVThe rain hit the big glass windows of the penthouse in a beat. Outside, the city was hidden behind a grey fog, but inside, the air was warm and smelled like cedar.I leaned on the kitchen island, watching Sebastian. He did not wear a suit, go to meetings. He just wore some grey pants that were low on his hips, and his broad shoulders were bare."You are really skipping practice," I said with a smile as I watched him chop rosemary. He used the knife with the ease he used in the office. "Kofi is going to be mad when the captain does not show up."Sebastian did not look up. He put some garlic in the pan, and it made a loud sound that filled the kitchen with a great smell. "Let him. I told the coaches I had something to do. This is important.""Is cooking pasta important?" I stepped closer, feeling the floor under my feet."Feeding you is always important," Sebastian said. He picked up a spoon, stirred the sauce, then he turned to me, said, "Taste baby."My chest felt warm when
