My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 221
Ember's POVI brought it up at breakfast.Knox was already at the table when I came down — he and James had been up earlier than everyone else, the specific early-morning energy of people who had a shared understanding that mornings were for work. Lauren was at the counter. Marcus had not yet appeared, which was unusual, and James explained without being asked that Marcus had a call with someone from the northern pack territory and would be down later.I sat down.I poured tea.Then I said, "I need to go to my father's house today."Knox looked at me over his cup."I have been in the same clothes for four days," I said. "I need more things. Books, some notes I left, my other jacket." I held his gaze. "I cannot borrow Lauren's running clothes indefinitely.""You are welcome to them indefinitely," Lauren said, from the counter, without turning around."Thank you," I said. "But I still need to go."Knox put his cup down."I will come with you," he said."You do not need to—""I am coming
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 220
Ember's POVThe morning session started the same way every session started.James in the center of the space, me at the edge of the tree line, the inventory first and then the selection. The structure of it was becoming familiar in the way that good structures became familiar — not routine in the deadening sense, but reliable. I knew what was coming and what it would ask of me and that knowledge made the asking easier.Today James had set up the smell work. Different from yesterday — more complex, multiple sources introduced deliberately into the space, things brought specifically to create the layered environment that the market exercise was designed to simulate. He had explained it before we started. The principle was the same as the sound work but smell arrived differently — with more emotional weight, more memory attachment, the specific complication of a sense that was more deeply wired into feeling than the others.I stood in the center of the space with my eyes closed.I invent
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 219
Ember's POVWhen he finished telling me the signs I sat with them for a moment.The warmth that came before a shift — not fever, something more internal than that. A pressure at the base of the spine that was different from the moon pressure. The specific restlessness in the hands. The wolf sitting forward in the body, alert, moving toward something rather than simply being present in it.I mapped them against what I had been feeling.None of them.Not yet."Okay," I said."Okay?" he said."I know what to look for now," I said. "That is better than not knowing." I held his gaze. "It is always better than not knowing."He held my gaze."Yes," he said. "It is. I understand that now more clearly than I did yesterday.""Good," I said."Ember," he said."Yes.""I do trust you," he said. "I need you to know that is not in question. The decision I made was about the training, not about whether you could handle difficult information." He held my gaze steadily. "You are one of the most capable
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 218
Ember's POVI waited until after dinner.Not because I needed the time to prepare — I had known what I was going to say since the tree line that morning. I waited because dinner was dinner and Marcus was at the table and Lauren was asking James about the training program and the conversation was the ordinary surface of a household going through its evening, and pulling Knox aside in the middle of it to confront him about something he had overheard would have made it everyone's business when it was only ours.So I waited.Marcus went to the study.Lauren and James continued a conversation about something related to the pack territory that I did not have enough context to follow properly.I touched Knox's arm as we left the dining room.Just that. He looked at me and I held his gaze and he understood.We went into the corridor."You heard us this morning," he said. Not a question."Yes," I said."How much?" he said."All of it," I said. "The delay. The lone wolf situation. James saying
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 217
Ember's POVThe second morning session started at nine.James had been precise about the schedule — nine to eleven, four days a week, with the remote video work filling the gaps. I had slept better than the previous nights, which James said was consistent with what happened when the senses began to settle. Less to process meant the body could actually rest rather than spending the night cataloguing everything arriving through a nervous system that did not know how to close.I came through the trees at eight fifty-five.James and Knox were already there.Not waiting for me — talking. Standing near the center of the space with the specific posture of two people having a conversation they were not performing for anyone, the ease of people who had known each other long enough to speak plainly.I stopped at the edge of the tree line.Not deliberately. I had come through and they had not heard me yet — the wolf movement, the quieter footfall I had been developing without noticing — and some
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 216
Ember's POVThe session was two hours.By the end of it I understood what James meant by simple is not the same as easy. The selection exercise — choosing one sound and following only that one — had taken forty minutes before it felt like something I was doing rather than something I was attempting. The distinction between doing and attempting was significant. Attempting had the quality of pushing against resistance. Doing had the quality of moving with something.By the second hour I could select and hold a single sound for three minutes without the others pulling me back.James said that was good progress.He said it the way he said everything — without inflation, just accurate. Which meant it was actually good progress rather than the kind of encouragement that softened a less positive reality.We came back through the trees at eleven.Lauren had left water and something to eat on the table at the back of the house, which was the kind of thing Lauren did without being asked and wit
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
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret The Worst Birthday Ever
Ember's POVTonight was supposed to be the best night of my life.I stood in front of the bathroom mirror and carefully lined my lips, taking my time the way I never usually did. I was the kind of girl who rushed through getting ready because there was always something more important waiting — a le
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 60
Ember's POVKnox showed me the note the next morning.He came to my room before breakfast, which he did not usually do, and I knew from the fact that he was there before eight that whatever he had to show me was not something he wanted to carry through a full day without telling me first.I opened
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret She Deserves Better
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
