Knox's POV

She had come.

That was the thing I kept coming back to through the long, quiet hours of the night in that holding room. Ember had come. Nobody had asked her to, nobody had sent her, and she had spent the whole day not coming — I knew that instinctively the same way I knew most things about her by now, the same way I could tell when she was processing versus when she had decided — and then she had come anyway.

We had not said much. Ten minutes was what the security officer had told he

  • 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

    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    Chapter 93

    Knox's POVI heard him coming.Not the footsteps — those I heard a second later. The first thing I heard was the change in the air behind me, the specific shift that the wolf in me picked up before my human senses caught up to it. The change that meant something was moving toward me with intent.I had just enough time to half-turn before the punch connected.It caught me on the side of the head rather than the jaw this time — a different target, harder, the kind of punch that came from someone who had decided they were not going to get the same result as before and had adjusted accordingly. It hit and it was real and it knocked my balance sideways.I caught myself.I turned fully.Ethan was right there. He had not stopped at one — he was already coming with the second one, his face set with the expression of a person who had moved past calculation and was running on something older and less managed. He had wanted this since the path. He had wanted it since the office. He had walked ou

    Knox's POVCoach Harlan sat behind his desk for a long time.He was not the kind of man who rushed decisions. I had known that about him since my first year — he was methodical, he weighed things, he believed that a decision made fast was usually a decision made wrong. I had respected that about him for three years. Right now, sitting in that chair waiting for him to finish thinking, it was harder to respect.Ethan sat beside me saying nothing.That was unusual. Ethan's default in a room full of authority was to talk — to manage, to reframe, to work the situation. The silence from his direction told me that even he understood this was not a moment where talking was going to help him.Coach finally looked up.He looked at Ethan first."I am going to look into what Knox has described," he said. "The incidents he referenced. The documentation with school management. The reports." He said it flatly, without emotion, the way he communicated decisions that were not up for discussion. "While

  • My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret    Chapter 91

    Knox's POVCoach Harlan's office was small.Two chairs across from a desk, a whiteboard on one wall covered in play diagrams, trophies on a shelf that had run out of space and started a second row in front of the first. A window that looked out over the side of the training complex. A room that smelled like lineament and old coffee and the specific combination of a place where difficult conversations happened regularly.Ethan was already there when I came in.He had taken the chair on the left. I stood until Coach came in behind me and closed the door and gestured at the other chair, and then I sat.Coach sat behind his desk and looked at both of us for a moment."Tell me what happened," he said.Ethan went first.He was good at this. I had known that for three years — had watched him work coaches and teachers and administrators in the specific way that people who understood authority learned to work it. He was calm. He was measured. He used the right words in the right order and he b

    Knox's POVMy father called at eleven in the morning, which meant he had calculated the time difference between where he was and campus and chosen a moment he knew I would be between classes and therefore available.Marcus did not call at inconvenient times by accident.I stepped out of the corrido

    Ember's POVKnox came to my room the next morning before first class.I had half-expected him to text the information. That was what the previous version of this would have looked like — a message, carefully worded, containing the parts he had decided were relevant, delivered in a way that let him

  • My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret    Chapter 50

    Ember's POVI was half human and half wolf and I did not know what to do with that information.Not in the sense of rejecting it. Knox had told me it explains everything and he was right — the sounds, the smells, the dreams of running through dark forests on four legs, the desk moving with one hand

    Knox's POVI made it in four minutes.The training gear was still in my bag when I knocked on her door. She said come in and I pushed it open and she was sitting on the floor with her back against the bed and her hands pressed over her ears, which was the worst thing she could do for the kind of se
