My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 183
Knox's POVI had said I needed to tell him something.Then I had stopped.Not because I changed my mind — because I was looking at my father's face and thinking about the conversation I was about to have and understanding that there was an order to it. The hunters first. That was the more immediate problem and the one my father was already oriented toward. Ember could come after, when I had the full picture of what we were dealing with and could present her situation in the right context."The hunters," I said. "The ones moving toward campuses. How close are they to the school?"Marcus looked at me.A brief pause — the specific pause of someone who had noticed a subject change and was deciding whether to address the change or follow it.He followed it."Closer than I would like," he said. "James has tracked three separate incidents in the region over the past two months. Not direct contact with any of our pack. But proximity." He opened a drawer and took out a map — physical, not digi
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 182
Knox's POVHome looked the same.That was always the first thing — the specific unchanged quality of a place that had been continuing without you while you were somewhere else. The long driveway, the house at the end of it, the trees on either side that were older than any of us and did not particularly notice the seasons the way people noticed them. I had grown up in this house and it had the specific weight of that — not heavy, just present, the way certain places carried their history in the air rather than in the objects.My mother was at the door before the car had fully stopped.She did not wait for me to come to her — she came down the steps and across the gravel and she held on in the way she held on when I had been gone a significant amount of time, which was longer than she performed and tighter than she admitted."You look thin," she said."I am not thin," I said."You look tired.""I am slightly tired," I said."Come inside," she said. "There is food."There was always foo
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 181
Ember's POVRebecca was sitting up.Not the propped-against-pillows version from my imagination during the eight days — actually sitting up, back straight, the specific posture of someone who had decided they had been horizontal long enough and were done with it. The bruising on her face had faded significantly. The dressing above her eyebrow was smaller than it had been. She looked like herself in a way she had not looked for eight days because for eight days she had not looked like anything except a person waiting to come back.She looked at me when I came through the door."Finally," she said.I sat down.And then I talked.I do not know exactly when I decided to tell her everything — it was not a decision so much as an inevitability, the specific relief of a person who has been carrying too much finding that the person they most trusted was available again and opening without being able to stop.I told her about James and the training. About the wardrobe and the strength that had
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 180
Ember's POVThe crowd dispersed the way crowds dispersed after something significant — slowly, in clusters, people talking to each other about what they had just seen and what it meant and what they were going to tell the people who had not been there. The roses were still on the field. Nobody seemed to know what to do with them now that the moment they had been arranged for was over.Knox and I stood in the center of them.I looked at the gate where Charlotte had been led out."She went too far," I said.Knox waited."I know that is obvious," I said. "I know it has been obvious for a while and I have been the one finding reasons to hold back because she is my sister and holding back felt like the right thing." I looked at the gate. "Arranging an attack that put Rebecca in a hospital for eight days—" I stopped. "That is not something I can hold back from. There is no version of family loyalty that covers that.""No," Knox said."I do not feel sorry for her," I said. "I want to be clea
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 179
Ember's POVThe field had been transformed.I did not know when he had done it or who had helped him do it — Knox was suspended and had limited campus access and had been spending most of his time at a hospital — but somehow between the training session with James and the text telling me to come here, the hockey field had become something else entirely.Roses. Red ones, arranged on the ground in the shape of a heart large enough to be visible from the edge of the field. Not dozens — hundreds, the kind of arrangement that required planning and time and the specific determination of someone who had decided to do something properly rather than halfway.Students had gathered at the edges.I did not know if Knox had told people or if the arrangement had drawn them the way arrangements like this always drew people — the specific gravitational pull of something romantic happening in a public space, the collective instinct to witness it.I saw Ethan at the far edge of the crowd before I saw K
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 178
Ember's POVJames was not what I had expected.I had built a version of him in my head from what Knox had described — a trainer, someone who worked with wolves and hybrids, someone serious enough that Knox's father had sent him specifically. I had expected someone like Marcus sounded — large, formal, the particular authority of someone who had been doing something important for a long time.James was none of those things visually. Medium height, somewhere in his forties, a calm face with the kind of lines that came from spending time outside rather than from age. He looked at me when Knox introduced us with the expression of someone taking stock — not invasive, just present. The way a doctor looked at a patient before asking the first question."I have heard about you," he said."From Knox?" I said."From Knox," he said. "And from what Knox described, I would have wanted to meet you regardless of the circumstances.""The circumstances being," I said."That your wolf is accelerating wi
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Something Is Wrong With Me
Ember's POVAfter Knox left, the three of us stood in the room and Jessica was going on about the way he had supposedly been looking at her, and Kimberly was shaking her head saying no, she had watched the whole thing and Knox had barely taken his eyes off me for a second, and I was standing there
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret The Curse
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
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Get Out
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. Knox's apartment and the trophies on every shelf and the way he had looked at me when I told him I had never done this before — not with pity
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Something About Her
Knox's POV I almost didn't go to the party. Parties were not really my thing, not in the way people thought they were. Everyone assumed that because I was the team captain and because girls always wanted to talk to me and because I had a reputation that followed me everywhere I went, I must love
