My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha 91. The Only Way She Lives
Clinton's POV I push the door open again without knocking, already halfway inside before I take in what’s happening.He’s on the phone.“Call off your men.”I don’t need to hear the voice on the other end to know who he’s speaking to…the head guard.I stop where I am, the rest of my thoughts stalling for a second as relief settles in quietly.He actually did it.He kept his word.I stand there watching him. He ends the call, sets the phone aside, and sits back on the bed as if that decision doesn’t carry any weight.“I did what you asked.” His eyes lift to me, steady, already expecting something in return. “And now it’s your turn to keep your part of the…”“I know you didn’t send that assassin,” I cut him off, holding his gaze as I say it.His brows draw together slightly…not anger, not yet, just confusion at the shift.I take a step closer.“Why? Why did you make me believe you were the one who tried to kill me?”He studies my face like he’s trying to figure out what changed…what ma
My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha 90. Obedience or consequence
Clinton's POV My father stands from his bed so suddenly that the air in the room shifts before I even register what is coming. I barely have time to steady myself, barely time to form another sentence, when he closes the distance between us.The slap lands before thought catches up.My head snaps to the side with the force of it, and for a moment there is nothing but a ringing silence in my ears, sharp and disorienting, as if the room itself has been struck.“You are a disgrace to this family.” His voice cuts through the ringing, colder than the strike, heavier than the pain still blooming across my face.I keep still, forcing my body not to react further, because anything else will only give him more reason.“Do you know how disgusted I was today, watching my own son defend a human against his own kind in front of the entire pack?”My chest tightens in response. I would have taken another hit…anything would have been easier than hearing him say that.“You are the Alpha’s son, and ye
My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha 89. Condemned Before Dawn
Clinton's POV My father’s voice fills the hall again.“That talisman is indeed one of a kind.”The words reach me slowly, as though they have to pass through something heavy before they land.My heart is already beating too fast, and the moment he says that, it picks up even more. Each beat presses harder against my chest until it begins to hurt in a way I can’t ignore.Not now.I draw in a breath and press my hand lightly against my chest, adjusting my stance so it looks natural, so no one sees anything beyond what I allow them to see.The last thing I need is for anyone here to notice weakness…not when everything is hanging on what he says next.“We are all alive today and in good health. All thanks to her.”A ripple moves through the crowd. Heads begin to nod, slowly at first, then more firmly, as if the reminder is settling into them whether they want it to or not.I don’t look at them.I look at him.My stepmother doesn’t move, but her face tightens. There’s something close to d
My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha 88. The Moment Before Judgment
Clinton's POV I turn my gaze to my father and find him exactly as he has been since I walked in…still, composed, unreadable in a way that feels intentional rather than natural.My stepmother shifts in her seat, crossing her legs with slow confidence.“You seem to already have a suspect, so why not let us in on it?”Her voice cuts clean through the room, and I keep my expression steady even though I can feel every eye tighten on me a little more.She is not asking out of curiosity. It is a trap dressed as a question, a careful push to make me speak too much, to say something that can be turned against me later. I have seen this before. I know exactly how it ends if I take the bait.I do not give her that satisfaction.“I don’t have a suspect yet.”The words come out even and controlled, and I feel the weight of them immediately because they are not the full truth. There is a name sitting in my head…sharp and persistent…but saying it out loud in this room would only make everything wor
My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha 87. You Will Go Through Me
Clinton's POV The second I push the door open and step into the pack’s meeting hall, everything changes without warning. The noise that should be there disappears at once.Every head turns.Faces shift in my direction, conversations die halfway through, and the silence that settles over the hall presses against my ears in a way that makes it clear they were not expecting me.Good.I let the door close behind me and take a step forward, my eyes moving through the crowd without hurry, taking everything in.Elder Charles stands at the center of the hall, exactly where I expect him to be. He always places himself where everyone can see him. There is nothing new in that, nothing surprising, and yet the sight of him standing there today does something different to me.He looks prepared.My gaze shifts past him.Amy stands with the others, her posture tight, her arms folded across her chest in a way that tells me she has been standing there for a while.Natasha is beside her, quieter, her e
My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha 86. If They Want Her, They’ll Go Through Me
Clinton's POV “Did something happen in school?”“Nothing much, just some students fighting and they ended up destroying school property.”The lie comes out of my mouth easily. It settles between us, quiet and harmless on the surface, hiding everything underneath. It is easier this way.My phone starts ringing again, cutting through the stillness of the room. I glance at the screen. Amy.I forgot.I promised to call her when Catherine wakes up. I forgot everything outside this room the moment I saw her eyes open again.I push myself to my feet and step away, already bringing the phone up.“Still Cody?”Her voice follows me, and I pause for half a second before answering.“No, it’s my dad’s secretary.”Another lie. It slips out just as easily as the first one, and I do not stop to think about it. I answer the call before she can ask anything else.“How’s she?”I can already hear the strain in Amy’s voice.“Still the same.” That is all I need to say, and she understands what I am trying
