More than Rivals, less than Mates. Seventy one
The message stayed on Alpha Perez's screen long after the phone had gone dark. It's time to tell them the truth before history repeats itself. He read it again. Then again. His thumb hovered over the delete button. Instead, he locked the phone and slipped it into his pocket. For the first time in years, running away from the past didn't seem as easy. ... Across town... Alpha Vergara was in his office when his own phone vibrated. He frowned at the unfamiliar number. The message was identical. It's time to tell them the truth before history repeats itself. He leaned back in his chair. "So..." he muttered to himself. "Someone knows." A knock came at the door. "Come in." Luna Eve stepped inside carrying two mugs of coffee. "You've been hiding in here all evening." She noticed the expression on his face immediately. "What happened?" Talon silently handed her the phone. She read the message once before looking back at him. "Who sent this?" "I don't know." "Do you t

Monday morning arrived with complete chaos.Rovak was halfway through breakfast when Liam stormed into his apartment without knocking."Emergency!"Rovak looked up lazily."You've said that five times this month.""This one is real!"Liam shoved his phone into Rovak's face."Look!"Rovak frowned at the screen.A sports gossip account had posted several photographs from the charity festival.The first showed him and Tanner laughing after the three-legged race.The second showed Tanner fixing the knot around Rovak's ankle.The third...The final team photograph.Rovak and Tanner were standing shoulder to shoulder, smiling at each other instead of the camera.The caption read:'Everglades' biggest rivals... or hockey's newest bromance? 👀'Below it...Thousands of comments."Why are they always together lately?""I thought they hated each other?""This rivalry suddenly feels suspiciously friendly.""They're either secretly best friends or the greatest actors alive.""That smile doesn't l

The next Saturday, the league organized a promotional event for children.Players from every Everglades Hockey League team had been invited to spend the afternoon coaching young fans.Rovak adjusted the sleeves of his training jersey as he stepped onto the ice.The arena buzzed with excitement.Children raced around in oversized helmets while parents filled the stands with cameras in hand."This is chaos," Liam muttered.Rovak laughed."I think it's adorable.""It won't be adorable when one of them uses my stick as a sword."Almost immediately—A little boy grabbed Liam's hockey stick."Told you," Liam sighed....On the opposite side of the rink, Tanner skated onto the ice with the Sparrows.The moment the children spotted him, several of them rushed over."Tanner!""Can I have your autograph?""Can we take a picture?"Evena folded his arms."Do they even know the rest of us exist?""No," Tanner replied honestly."They're here for me."Evena shoved him lightly."Your ego is unbearabl

The next morning, Rovak arrived at the Delta Eagles training facility earlier than usual.The atmosphere felt...different.Players who were usually joking around were instead gathered in small groups, talking quietly among themselves.Liam spotted him first."There you are.""What happened?" Rovak asked.Liam shrugged."No clue. Coach just said everyone had to be here an hour early."Frank walked over carrying two cups of coffee."I have a feeling this isn't good news.""Why?" Rovak asked."Because Coach never smiles when he calls emergency meetings."Almost on cue, Coach Harris walked into the locker room."Meeting room. Everyone."The chatter immediately died down....Coach stood at the front of the room with the team's general manager beside him.Neither looked particularly happy.Coach folded his arms."I'll get straight to the point.""The league has made an announcement."The players exchanged confused looks."The Everglades Hockey League wants to increase public interest this

The quiet afternoon didn't last.Rovak's phone vibrated repeatedly on the coffee table.He glanced at the screen and groaned."Hockey never sleeps," he muttered.Tanner looked up from where he was lazily scrolling through his phone."Who is it?""Liam.""You literally just saw him.""I know."Rovak answered the call and immediately pulled the phone away from his ear."Rovak! Emergency!"Rovak frowned."What happened?""Coach wants everyone at the arena.""When?""Now."Rovak sighed dramatically."Can't emergencies happen tomorrow?""No.""Why?""Because Coach said so.""That's hardly a reason.""It is if you enjoy remaining on the team.""...Fair point."Rovak ended the call and looked over at Tanner."I have to go."Tanner stretched lazily across the couch."I should probably leave too.""You don't have to.""I do.""If someone photographs me leaving your apartment, social media will have a field day."Rovak groaned."I hate hiding.""So do I."For a brief moment, neither of them mov

Morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting long golden streaks across Rovak's bedroom.For the first time in years, he woke before his alarm without the familiar weight pressing on his chest.Instead, something warm rested against him.Rovak blinked the sleep from his eyes and looked down.Tanner.Still asleep.One arm was wrapped possessively around Rovak's waist, his face buried against Rovak's chest as though he'd decided sometime during the night that personal space was optional.Rovak smiled."You clingy wolf," he whispered.Tanner only hummed in response, tightening his hold."I wasn't talking to you."Another sleepy hum.Rovak carefully brushed the messy strands of brown hair away from Tanner's forehead.The past few weeks had been a whirlwind—training camp, discovering pieces of their fathers' past, Alpha Perez's apology.Yet somehow, this moment felt bigger than all of those.It was... ordinary.No arguments.No hiding.No guilt.Just waking up beside the person

When a letter inviting Rovak to play for the Delta Eagles, he wasn't excited. Rather it reminded him of what he couldn't have.He hid the letter in his room, knowing River, he would snoop around in his room to cause mischief."Rovak! We are late" Alpha Perez called."I am coming father" he called b

The beginningRovak took a deep breath as he drank from the flask in his hand. He had played games before but this particular game filled him with trepidation. This was not the high-school games, he used to play. This was the game that would decide his future.Would he go back to his pack and live

Tanner sat nervously opposite his parents as they had dinner. But he couldn't even hear a word they were saying. All that ran through his mind was what had happened earlier in the shower. Usually Rovak looked unapproachable but back then in the shower, his face had looked so entrancing. Oh godde

The next couple of weeks went by in a blur for Rovak.He accepted the offer, he met with the team officials. He signed the contract and was assigned to a dorm with the other rookies.Rovak was happy. He was going to be away from River and his father."Don't be giddy yet, they will realize you are a
