My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 99
Ethan's POVHe did not remember the walk back.Not the tree line, not the fence, not the campus paths in the pre-dawn gray. He must have done all of it — he was in his room, so he had done all of it — but he had no memory of the sequence. Just the floor of that room and then his own room, the gap between them missing from the record.He sat on the edge of his bed.His room was the same as he had left it. His things arranged the way he arranged things. The familiar, unchanged order of a space that had been his before the expulsion and was his again now by court order. Everything normal.He was not normal.He was on his feet thirty seconds after sitting down.He went to the window. Stood there. Went back to the bed. Sat down. Got up again.The hair was in his wallet. He took the wallet out and opened it and looked at the folded strands in the inner pocket and then closed it and put it back.He went to the window again.The campus was beginning to wake — the first light making the paths
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 98
Ethan's POVHe stayed crouched for a long time.The hair was on the concrete in front of him and he was looking at it and his brain was doing the thing it did when it encountered something that did not fit — running it through every available category and finding no match and running it again.He was not a person who confused easily.He was not a person who stood in empty rooms in the pre-dawn dark staring at a floor and coming up blank. He solved things. He identified things. He looked at a situation and he read it and he knew what it was and he acted accordingly.This he could not read.He reached out and picked up a few strands.He held them in his palm close to the gap in the boarded window where the thin gray light came through. He turned his hand slowly. The hair caught the light differently from different angles — coarser than anything human, with a texture that was closer to fur than hair, longer than it should have been for an animal that would fit in a room this size, the co
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 97
Knox's POVThe moon went down.I felt it the way I had felt it rising — not with my eyes, not with any sense that had a name in human language, just the specific internal shift of a tide turning. The pull that had been at its peak for hours began to ease, slow and gradual, and the wolf that had been fully present began to recede the same way it had arrived. In stages. In pieces. The oldest parts of me last.Coming back to human was always harder than going out.Going out was the body obeying something larger than itself. Coming back was the body reassembling something that had been taken apart, and the reassembly took time and cost something that sleep could partially repay but never fully.I was on the concrete floor when it finished.I lay there for a while. Not sleeping — just present in the specific way you were present after a shift, aware of every part of yourself in a way that normal waking life did not provide. The cold of the concrete against my back. The dark of the room. Th
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 96
Ember's POVThe moon moved.I could not see it from inside Rebecca's room — the curtains were drawn and the window faced the wrong direction — but I felt it. I did not know how to explain that. I had not been able to explain most of what my body had been doing for the past several weeks and this was just the newest version of it. The moon moved higher in the sky and something inside me moved with it, tethered to it in a way I had no language for.The pain got worse.Not gradually. In steps. Each wave a little larger than the last, each one taking longer to pass, each one leaving behind a residue of something that did not fully clear before the next one arrived. By midnight I had stopped trying to find a comfortable position on the floor because no position was comfortable. I was on my side with my knees drawn up and my jaw locked against the sounds I did not want to make and Rebecca's hand around mine."Breathe," Rebecca said."I am breathing.""Breathe slower.""Rebecca—"A wave hit
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 95
Ember's POVIt started at ten.Not dramatically. Just a dull ache at first — the kind that sat somewhere between her ribs and her spine, in a place she could not put her hand on and press to locate properly. She had been lying on Rebecca's floor on the spare blanket, trying to read, and the ache had arrived and she had shifted position and told herself it was the floor. The floor was hard and she was not used to it and her body was registering the complaint.By ten-thirty it was not the floor.She turned over.The ache had moved — not to a different place but outward, like something expanding from a center point, pushing against the inside of her skin the way pressure pushed against a container. She pressed her hand flat against her ribs and the pressure pushed back.She made a sound.Rebecca looked up from her bed immediately."What?""Nothing," Ember said. "I am fine.""You made a sound.""I shifted position. It was nothing."Rebecca looked at her for a moment and then went back to
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 94
Knox's POVThe moon was coming and my body knew it before my mind had fully accepted the night.I had felt it all day. Underneath the training, underneath the fight with Ethan, underneath the office and the coach and the walk back to the dormitory — a low, persistent pressure building at the base of my skull like something leaning against a door from the other side. Patient. Certain. Not asking permission.Full moon.I waited until the dormitory floor went quiet. Just after eleven. I changed into dark clothes, picked up the small bag I kept ready for these nights, and went out through the side exit that had no camera.The abandoned house was six minutes from the campus boundary. I had found it in my first year — empty for years, boarded windows, solid walls, a ground floor room with a door that latched from inside. I had reinforced the latches myself. Added a second one. Tested them. This was the place. It had always been the place.I moved across the dark campus with the practiced qu
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
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
