Ember's POV

We gave it an hour.

Rebecca's idea — she said showing up immediately looked panicked and panicked made people less willing to talk. We needed to look like we had a reasonable purpose for being in the boys' dormitory and reasonable purposes took time to arrange.

So we waited an hour.

I spent it sitting on my bed staring at the wall, which was not useful, but it was what I had. Rebecca spent it on her phone doing something she did not explain, which probably meant she was running h

  • My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret    Chapter 211

    Knox's POVI held the letter for a moment.Then Lauren reached out and took it back.Not aggressively — the smooth, natural motion of someone who had decided something in the space between handing it over and watching me hold it. She folded it along its original creases and put it in the pocket of her cardigan and looked at me with the specific expression she used when a conversation had reached its endpoint."What is it?" I said."Nothing that concerns you right now," she said.I looked at her."It came from the Lycan world," I said. "The seal—""Old contacts," she said. "From before your father and I were together. I had connections of my own before this pack and some of them still write." She said it evenly, in the voice she used when she had decided on a version and was committing to it. "Personal matters. My parents. Nothing that affects the house."I held her gaze.Lauren held mine back.She was better at this than most people. She had been doing it since before I could read a r

  • My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret    Chapter 209

    Knox's POVI had taken two steps into the corridor when I heard Lauren get up from her chair."Wait," she said.I turned around.She was on her feet, which was unusual — Lauren completed conversations sitting down as a general rule. Standing meant she had something else and had decided it could not wait until I was further away.She came to the doorway."If she is the one," she said. Her voice had a quality I had not heard in it during the earlier part of the conversation — the careful quality was gone, replaced by something more immediate. "If she is actually the fated mate—" She stopped. She looked at me with the specific expression she had when she had been holding a feeling back and had decided to stop holding it. "Knox. Do you understand what that means for this family?""Yes," I said."The curse broken," she said. "Twenty years of watching you manage it. Twenty years of knowing what it cost you." She shook her head slightly. "I have been waiting for this. I did not know who it w

  • My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret    Chapter 208

    Knox's POVI had my hand on the door handle when Lauren said it."She has wolf blood."Not a question. She was processing it out loud — the specific way she processed things that had arrived and needed to be placed somewhere accurate.I turned around."Yes," I said.Lauren was looking at the window with the expression she had when something had reorganized what she had thought she understood."I thought she was human," she said. "When you described her at school — the hybrid situation, the episodes, the training with James — I understood there was something unusual. But I assumed the wolf element was external. A connection to the wolf world through you." She looked at me. "I did not understand it was in her.""Her mother," I said. "Her mother carried wolf blood. She died when Ember was born and her father never explained it properly. She has been carrying it her whole life without knowing what it was."Lauren turned that over."The episodes," she said. "The midnight attacks. The stren

    Knox's POVTwo days.It took two days for Lauren to notice and call me into her room.I had known it was coming — not because my mother was intrusive, she was not, she was one of the least intrusive people I knew — but because she was also one of the most observant, and two days of living in the same house as something she had identified as significant was two days longer than she typically waited before she said something about it.She found me in the hallway on the second morning."Come and talk to me," she said.It was not a question.I followed her to her sitting room — the small one off the master bedroom that had been hers specifically since before I was born, the room she used when she wanted a conversation that was not going to be interrupted by Marcus or the general business of the house. It had her books and her plants and the specific low light of a room that had been arranged for comfort rather than efficiency.She sat in the chair by the window.I sat on the small sofa ac

  • My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret    Chapter 206

    Ember's POVI stood two feet from the curtain with the broom raised and thought about screaming.The thought lasted approximately one second.I was in a house I had arrived at three hours ago. The people in it had fed me and given me a room and a dress and had been nothing except kind. Screaming at something moving under a curtain at midnight in the guest room was not the impression I was trying to make.I breathed.I moved closer.One step. Then another. The broom still in both hands, not raised to strike anymore — raised enough to be useful if something needed to be useful against.The curtain moved again. Something was definitely there, at the sill, working at the gap between the fabric and the frame with the specific patience of something that had decided this was solvable and was going to keep working until it solved it.I reached out with the handle of the broom.I pushed the curtain sideways.A cat looked up at me.Grey. Medium sized. The kind of cat that had the specific self-

  • 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

    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.

  • 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
