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
My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha 85. While She Sleeps
Clinton's POV My phone keeps ringing, over and over again, the sound cutting through the quiet of the room, but I let it. Right now, everything feels far away except the girl lying in my bed.Catherine hasn’t moved in almost an hour.She lies on her side, facing me, her breathing slow and even, her hair spilling across the pillow. There is something about the way she looks right now that makes it hard to look away. Peaceful. Untouched by everything that happened today.I reach for her hand, and my fingers close gently around hers. I just sit there, holding her hand, letting that small contact ground me.I try to pull away after a while, shifting slightly, thinking I should stand up, maybe check who keeps calling, but her fingers tighten around mine.I pause.My eyes lift to her face, expecting to see her watching me, but her lashes are still resting against her cheeks. She is still asleep.I sink back into the chair instead of standing, letting my hand stay where it is. If she is hol
My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha 84. His Wolf Disappeared
Jack's POV Cody steps closer to me until there is barely any space between us. I can see the tension in his hands as his fingers curl and uncurl. He is holding himself back, and it shows in every part of him.“You know that ribbon isn’t hers,” he says, his voice tight with anger. “And you still pretended not to know.”His eyes shine, but he refuses to let the emotion spill over. There is pain in them, mixed with anger and disappointment.I don't answer him. I take a slow breath instead. It feels pointless to speak when nothing I say will change his mind.I warned him before. I told him not to get close to her. I told him she would pull him in and cause trouble. He ignored me then, and he is ignoring me now.“She’s dangerous, Cody,” I say. “You need to think clearly.”“No,” he replies at once, shaking his head. “You are the one who pushed her to that point.”I stare at him, confused. “What are you talking about?”“You know it is forbidden to hit a talisman,” he says, his voice rising.
