Ember's POV

"Your wolf is activating," Knox said.

I looked at my hand again. The one that had sent him sideways.

"The sharp senses," he said. "The sounds being too loud, the smells, the strength coming in without warning — all of it is the same process. Your wolf is not separate from you. It is you, a layer of you that has been there since you were born and has been waiting." He held my gaze. "The push was not an accident. It was the wolf responding to a perceived threat before your human insti

  • My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret    Chapter 150

    Ember's POVIt happened without happening.That was the only way I could describe it afterward — not a moment of effort, not a sensation of exertion, just my hands on the base of the wardrobe and then the wardrobe was not on the floor anymore.It came up.Both feet, clean off the floorboards, the same way Knox had done it except that I kept going — past where he had lifted it, higher, the base of it a foot off the ground and then more, and it was not heavy. That was the part my brain could not process. It was not heavy. It was not light either — I could feel the mass of it, the reality of the thing in my hands, but the mass was not the obstacle it should have been. My hands simply held it and my arms simply held it and the wardrobe was in the air.I held it there.I looked at Knox over the top of it.He was on his feet.His arms were folded and his expression had done something I had not seen it do before — open, genuinely and completely open, the look of someone watching something th

    Ember's POV"Your wolf is activating," Knox said.I looked at my hand again. The one that had sent him sideways."The sharp senses," he said. "The sounds being too loud, the smells, the strength coming in without warning — all of it is the same process. Your wolf is not separate from you. It is you, a layer of you that has been there since you were born and has been waiting." He held my gaze. "The push was not an accident. It was the wolf responding to a perceived threat before your human instincts had a chance to overrule it.""You reaching for my phone is not a threat," I said."Your wolf did not know that," he said. "Your wolf knew someone was reaching for something and it moved." He paused. "That is going to happen more as it settles in. Reactions before decisions. Strength before intention."I looked at my hand.I thought about the desk. The first time, in my room alone — the drawer, reaching for it without thinking, the whole desk sliding a foot across the floor. I had told myse

    Ember's POVKnox noticed.I had known he would notice. He noticed everything — it was one of the things I had learned about him over the months, the specific attentiveness he had to the people around him, the way nothing small moved in his peripheral vision without registering."Who was that?" he said."My dad," I said. "Just checking in." I said it smoothly, the way I said things when I had decided on a version and was committing to it. "I will reply later. I am not in the mood."Knox looked at me.Then he looked at the phone face down on the mattress."Okay," he said. He did not sound entirely convinced. But he went back to what he had been saying — something about the project timeline — and I breathed and kept my hand near the phone without touching it.Two minutes passed.Three.Then Knox, mid-sentence, reached out toward the phone.Not aggressive — the casual reach of someone going to check something, the movement of a person in a small shared space who has decided to see rather

    Ember's POVI opened the door.Knox was standing in the corridor with his jacket on and his hands at his sides and the expression of someone who had said everything he had to say and was waiting to find out what came after."Do not announce it," I said.He looked at me."What you said you were going to do," I said. "Going onto the campus and saying it in front of everyone. Do not do that.""Ember—""I mean it." I leaned against the door frame. My eyes were probably still red. I did not particularly care. "The last thing I need is more of this campus looking at me and talking about me and recording things. Charlotte gave them a story this morning and the worst thing you can do is give them another one." I held his gaze. "I do not want our business in front of everyone. I have never wanted that."Knox looked at me for a moment."Okay," he said."Okay?""Okay," he said again. "You do not want it announced. It will not be announced." He said it simply, without argument, without making me

    Ember's POVI heard Rebecca sit down outside my door.Not a knock — just the sound of movement in the corridor and then the particular quality of silence that meant someone was there, present, not going anywhere. I knew it was her without asking because that was what Rebecca did when she had run out of things to say and had not run out of caring.I was on my bed.Not crying anymore — the first wave of it had come and gone in the first ten minutes and what was left was the specific exhaustion that came after, the hollow kind, where everything felt slightly too large for the space you were in.The ceiling was the same ceiling it always was.I looked at it.I thought about Charlotte's face in the corridor. The specific expression she had worn when she was saying the things she was saying — the performance of hurt wrapped around something that was not hurt at all, something colder and more organized. The way she had said my own stepsister like it was a wound she was showing people rather

    Rebecca's POVEmber broke.Not dramatically — not the way Charlotte broke, which was loudly and with an audience. The way Ember broke was quiet and sudden and worse for both of those things. One moment she was standing in the middle of the corridor being pulled in multiple directions by people asking questions she could not answer, and the next she was not there anymore.She moved fast.Past me, past Charlotte, past the crowd that parted because the look on her face as she went through it was not something people stepped in front of. She hit her door, went inside, and the door shut behind her with a sound that was not a slam but was final in the way a slam was final.The corridor went slightly quieter.Charlotte looked at the closed door."She has nothing to say," Charlotte said. To whoever was still listening."I think you should leave," I said.Charlotte looked at me."I think you have said everything you came to say," I said, "and the person you came to say it to is not available a

    Knox's POVThe bonfire had been going for two hours and I had spent most of it watching Ember from across the crowd without making it obvious that I was watching her.I was good at that. Years of learning how to stay alert in a room full of people without letting anyone see that you were doing it h

    Knox's POVThe moment the door clicked shut behind her, I lost the fight. I had been holding it back since the second I turned from the window and saw her eyes open in the dark, through all of her questions and all of her anger and all of the things she said that I knew I deserved. I had stood ther

    Ember's POV I woke up in the middle of the night and for about three seconds, I didn't know where I was. Then it all came back. The party. Ethan. The key.
