Catherine's POV

I don’t stop hitting the door.

My fists burn, the sound dull and useless against the thick metal, like the room is swallowing everything I give it. I shout too, though my voice already feels thin, like it doesn’t belong to me anymore. Nothing comes back. No echo. No footsteps. Nothing.

So I move.

I jump. I pace. I stomp my feet, arms wrapped tight around myself, doing anything I can think of to keep the cold from settling deeper into my bones. It already feels too deep. Like it

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    69. The Return

    Clinton's POV I stand outside Catherine’s door longer than I should, staring at the handle. My heart keeps pounding anyway…loud and steady, like it’s trying to force a decision out of me.I can still taste her.It lingers in a way that doesn’t make sense for something that barely lasted…a kiss that started and ended in the same breath before it could become anything real.Her aunt’s voice cut through it, sharp and unwelcome, and just like that, it was over. But my body didn’t get the message. It’s still holding on to it, replaying it, refusing to let it go.You still like her even after what you found out at the Shadow Fang Pack?Black’s voice comes back without warning, and my chest tightens instantly. I push away from the door.I already know the answer, and I hate that I do.I shouldn’t feel this way. Everything about this is wrong in ways I don’t even want to start listing, and the easiest, smartest thing would be to walk away now while I still can…before it turns into something

I stomp my feet, arms wrapped tight around myself, doing anything I can think of to keep the cold from settling deeper into my bones. It already feels too deep. Like it’s inside me now, not just around me.I don’t let myself stop.Because if I stop, I might not start again.Time stretches in a strange way. It could be minutes. It could be hours. My legs start to shake, and I slow down without meaning to. My breath comes out uneven, fogging the air in front of me.I dig my phone out of my pocket with stiff fingers.Come on.It flickers to life for a second. Just one. The screen glows, and hope rises so fast it almost hurts. I try to press something…anything…but

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    67. Anger Unleashed

    Clinton's POV “So,” Chris says, tilting his head slightly, his lips curling into something that looks too close to amusement, “are you saying you're willing to die for a mere human talisman?”A mere human talisman.The words don’t just annoy me. They burn. He says it like she’s nothing. Like she already belongs to them.I don’t even look at him again. If I do, I might kill him right here.Instead, I turn back to his father…the Alpha. The real threat. “My father will never agree to this.”“I know,” the Alpha says quietly, his eyes locked on mine as if he’s trying to break into my head. “That’s why you’re here…to make it possible.”These people… they’ve lost their minds.Werewolves don’t just wake up one day and decide to steal another pack’s talisman.Before a human becomes a talisman, there are rituals. Binding rituals. Chains you can’t see but can never break. Marks that tie them to a pack, to an Alpha. Once that bond is made, it can’t just be broken like that.My mind races, trying

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    66. Alone in the Cold

    Catherine's POV I arrive at the location Clinton sent me, and immediately a cold knot twists in my stomach. It looks abandoned… like an old warehouse left to rot.Why here? Why now? It’s late, far later than Clinton would ever ask me to meet him somewhere like this.Something in his voice earlier, on the phone, gnaws at me. He didn’t sound like himself. He didn’t sound… whole.He called me, saying he needed my help, and then the call ended before I could even speak. Almost immediately, a text follows, telling me to come hereNo explanation. Not even a single clue about whether he’s eaten, whether he’s hurt, whether the people who kidnapped him are still nearby. Just me, running blindly into the dark, like an obedient fool.I pull out my phone, double-checking the location, muttering, “It is…” and hug myself as if the gesture could protect me.I step forward, every instinct screaming at me, my head whipping around with every small sound. I’m hyper-aware of every shadow, every whisper

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    65. Shadow Fang Deception

    Clinton's POV The dungeon door slams open, the loud sound echoing through the space. Two guards walk in, their heavy boots hitting the ground in slow, steady steps.One of them crouches in front of me and starts unlocking the padlock on my chains. The metal scrapes loudly as he works. When he’s done, he moves to Richard and does the same.“Let’s go. The Alpha wants to see you,” the other guard says, his voice anything but friendly. Then he looks at Richard. “Both of you.”I push myself up slowly, my body stiff and sore. Every movement hurts. My muscles feel like they’ve been beaten over and over again. I stretch slightly, trying to ease the pain, but it doesn’t help much.Richard stands too, following my lead.He looks terrible.One look at him and anyone can tell he hasn’t eaten. His face is pale, his lips dry, his eyes sunken. Anger burns inside me.These bastards didn’t even feed us.I don’t care about myself… but him?His stubbornness got him into this mess, and now he’s paying t

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    64. Waiting for a Call

    Catherine's POV I keep staring at my phone, hoping, praying it will ring. Why isn’t Amy calling me like she promised? I did exactly what she asked. I got a new phone, retrieved my line, and it’s already past one in the afternoon. Still nothing.The teacher’s voice yanks me back to reality, but I can’t focus. My mind keeps wandering, imagining Clinton alone, hurt, or worse. Will he be okay like Amy said? Is he even alive right now? My stomach twists at the thought.I don’t even notice when the tears start. They just fall, unbidden, streaming down my face until the whole classroom seems to freeze. The teacher’s voice breaks through. “Are you crying?” she asks, stepping closer, her tone soft but concerned.“No,” I lie quickly, trying to act normal, trying to pretend I have control. But the tears won’t stop. And that’s what hurts the most.I didn’t care about any of this before. None of it. But somehow, Clinton…and even Amy...made me feel like showing weakness, even a little, is a crime.

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    45. Punch First, Ask Questions Later

    Catherine's POV My stomach twists the second I hear his voice."Catherine."I keep walking.The morning sun is hot, pouring gold over the school parking lot."Catherine. Do not make me chase after you."I almost snort.Oh, now he wants to chase.Not today, sir.I swing my bag higher on my shoulder

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    43. Red Ribbon

    Jack's POV I haven’t even been asleep for thirty minutes when a scream slices through the room like metal tearing through fabric.My eyes snap open.For a moment, I don’t recognize the ceiling above me. It’s grey, stained at the corners, blurred by exhaustion. My head feels stuffed with cotton and

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    42. The Fight

    Catherine's POV Clinton suddenly pulls away from the hug. He wipes his face with his hands, sniffing hard. “I’m sorry.”Sorry for crying.My heart aches.I reach out and place my hand on his shoulder. “There’s no need to be sorry." My fingers press lightly, but my heart aches seeing him like this,
