Catherine's POV

The first thing I feel is the pull, sharp and piercing deep in my head as Jack grabs my hair and yanks me forward without hesitation.

I am helpless in his grip, my body scraping across the concrete as my knees hit the ground first, sending shocks through my bones.

My palms hit next, burning on impact, and then my shoulder takes the weight my legs can no longer carry. Each hit feels dull at first, like my body is trying to protect me, but the numbness spreads until the pain bec

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    97. If She Ever Finds Out

    Amy's POV The sound of my own breath is still uneven when everything finally slows down. My body sinks into the bed as the last wave passes through me, leaving behind that heavy, quiet feeling that makes it hard to move for a moment.I close my eyes briefly, letting myself stay there. Not thinking about anything, just listening to the faint rhythm of our breathing trying to return to normal…his closer, mine softer…until even that settles into something calm.He leans closer, and I feel his lips brush against my forehead, gentle in a way that always catches me off guard because it never matches the way everything else feels with him.“Naughty girl.”I let out a small laugh and pull the blanket up around myself, more out of habit than anything else.“You enjoy it,” he says, already shifting away, reaching down for his clothes scattered on the floor as if the moment we just shared has already been packed away somewhere in his mind.“I did.”That should feel like enough.It should.But I

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    96. Watching Her Break My Rules

    Danny's POV I swear I try to think about something else as I walk…anything at all. School, classes, the fact that I haven’t eaten, even the weather would’ve been fine. But no, my brain decides to replay that scene on a loop like it’s my favorite movie.Her hand on his collar.The way she pulled him close.That kiss.I stop mid-step, my chest rising like I’ve just run a race, even though I’ve barely walked ten meters. I drag a hand down my face slowly.I really wish I could unsee things.There should be a reset button for moments you don’t like. But no. Here I am, forced to carry that image around like it’s something valuable.And the annoying part isn’t even the kiss.It’s the fact that she looked so calm doing it. Like it meant nothing. Like my existence didn’t matter in that moment at all. Which is funny, because I remember telling her clearly…several times…to stay away from Clinton.And yet, here we are.I let out a short laugh that sounds nothing close to amusement and keep walki

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    95. I Decide When It Ends

    Catherine's POV The moment I step into the hallway, Natasha’s voice and drama fade behind me, but something else takes its place almost immediately.Clinton.Of course.Because apparently my brain has decided that no matter what chaos is happening around me, that boy must always be part of the problem.He still hasn’t called.Not one call.Not even a message.I let out a quiet scoff as I keep walking.Maybe he forgot.Maybe he got busy.Or maybe he just doesn’t care.That last thought settles in a little too easily, and I don’t like it, so I push it aside and reach into my bag for my phone.I’ll just check.Not call.Just check.Because there is a difference.I pull it out and unlock it quickly, my thumb moving over the screen as I scroll…Then I pause.Wait.What if something actually happened to him?The thought comes out of nowhere, and suddenly everything shifts. My chest tightens a little, and I stop walking.What if he’s in trouble and needed help, and I’m here getting annoyed

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    94. She Doesn’t Remember

    Natasha's POV Before I can even enjoy it, Catherine’s hand is already on mine, yanking it away from her hair with more force than I expect.“What’s wrong with you?”She looks at me with that mix of confusion and irritation that almost feels insulting…like I’m the one who just did something strange, not her.I let out a quiet laugh.Oh, she’s good.She’s really good.Still acting.Still pretending nothing’s wrong, nothing happened, nothing exists beyond whatever story she’s decided to stick to.I swing at her, my hand moving before the thought even fully forms, but she dodges it cleanly, stepping aside at the last second…and suddenly, there’s nothing holding me up anymore.The ground rushes up.Face first.Sand gets into my mouth, rough and dry, and I push myself up immediately, spitting it out with a grimace.I sit there for a second, brushing my tongue against my teeth, making sure nothing’s stuck there, and then it hits me.The situation.The fall.The way she’s standing there, loo

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    93. Don’t Walk Away From Me

    Natasha's POV I pull into the school parking lot harder than I need to. The car stops with a sharp jerk, and my bag slides off the seat. I don’t even bother fixing it. I just grab my phone, push the door open, and slam it shut behind me so loud it echoes across the almost empty space.Useless.That’s the only word sitting in my head right now.Alpha, elders, pack members… every single one of them stood there yesterday pretending to be powerful, pretending to be in control, only for everything to fall apart the moment it actually mattered.The Alpha himself stood in front of everyone, declared a death sentence with that deep, commanding voice of his, and then what…changed his mind five minutes later behind closed doors?I let out a dry laugh as I start walking toward the school building.So much for power.So much for authority.And I don’t even need to think too hard to know who’s behind it.Clinton.Of course it’s him.Who else would bend the Alpha that way? Who else would stand in

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    92. Coming Back to Nothing

    Catherine's POV I told him one hour.Just one hour to do whatever he needed to do. One hour isn’t long. It’s barely enough time for anything serious to happen, which is why I said it in the first place.But when I look at the time now, the numbers don’t make sense anymore.It’s almost eleven.I sit on the edge of the bed, staring at my phone as if that alone will make it light up, or like waiting hard enough will pull him back through the door.Did he forget?The thought slips in without permission, and I push it away immediately, but it doesn’t go far. It stays close, hovering at the edge, waiting for me to give it space.I unlock my phone and scroll through my contacts, my thumb slowing down when I get to his name. It sits there, unchanged, just letters on a screen, but it feels heavier than everything else on the list.I press it.The call screen opens, the number already dialing, and I hold it there for a second before ending it.No.I shouldn’t be the one calling him.He said he
