Rowan’s Pov

I thought the night would be tense and awkward, filled with unspoken questions and walls built a mile high, but it turned into something entirely different.

Sitting there on the couch with a slice of pizza in my hand, surrounded by the quiet hum of the television, the heavy knot in my chest slowly began to loosen. Asher didn't press me for answers about Bianca, and he didn't demand to know why I had looked like a ghost earlier that day. He just handed me food, turned on an old hoc

  • Oops! The Hockey Captain Is My Alpha    0045

    Rowan’s Pov My boots squeaked against the slick rubber floor of the neutral-site training locker room. The secret was out. The whole varsity team knew about Asher and me. I braced myself for the worst as I pushed open the double doors. I expected snide whispers, rolling eyes, or cruel jokes about the captain carrying a neon pink bear and dragging a provisional Beta rookie across state lines. Instead, absolute silence hit me—followed immediately by Mason banging his hockey stick against the wooden bench. "All right, listen up, you animals!" Mason shouted, grinning ear to ear as he stood up from the front row of lockers. "The cat's out of the bag. The captain got himself a player, and she's the best winger on this roster. So let me make this crystal clear: anybody on this squad who gives Hayes a hard time about anything—on or off the sheet—answers to me first, and then to the captain." A chorus of loud, cheerful banging erupted across the room. Junior defensemen pounded their stic

    Asher’s Pov The bus doors hissed shut, and the engine growled to life. I sat in the back row with my hoodie pulled low, heart already racing. Rowan was three seats ahead, laughing at something one of the guys said. I could see the curve of her smile from here. That smile did things to me I still didn’t fully understand. Mason dropped into the seat beside me like he owned the whole bus. “Look at you,” he whispered loud enough for half the team to hear. “Staring at her like she’s the last piece of pizza.” “Shut up,” I muttered. He grinned. “Nah. This is too good. Asher Reed, Mr. Cool, melting over the new girl. Everyone sees it.” I elbowed him hard. He just laughed harder. Across the aisle, two of the forwards started making kissy faces. I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me. Rowan turned her head for a second. Our eyes met. She gave me a tiny smile, the kind that said she heard everything and didn’t mind. Then she went back to talking with the guys. They were asking her ab

    Rowan’s Pov My stomach twisted into a hard, cold knot the second I read Damien’s message glowing on Asher’s phone screen in the dim hallway. Emergency council summons. East Chamber tomorrow night. It was coming. The heavy hammer of the Nightfall pack elders was swinging down right on top of us, and my first instinct, the one I had carried for years, was to fold my cards and step away. "You should go," I whispered, my voice shaking slightly as I pulled my hand out of Asher's grip and stepped back toward my suite door. "Your father isn't playing games, Asher. If the council is calling an emergency hearing about your future mate selection right after the Northridge game, you need to prepare your defense. You don't need me dragging your name through the mud." Asher didn't say a word. He stepped forward, closed the distance between us in two long strides, and grabbed my wrist before I could turn the doorknob. His crystalline eyes burned with a fierce certainty that knocked the breat

    Asher’s Pov The wind up on Observatory Ridge hits differently. I kept Rowan’s hand locked tight in mine as we scrambled up the final steep dirt path. Most students at Silvercrest didn't even know this trail existed. It was hidden behind a thick wall of old cedar trees, blocked by a rusted iron gate that had rusted off its hinges five years ago. This was my escape hatch. Ever since I was ten years old, whenever Damien finished dragging me through another brutal three-hour tactical lecture on pack dominance, political alliances, and future Alpha duties, I would slip away up here. I used to sit on this exact flat granite boulder, staring down at the glowing lights of the academy campus, feeling like I was trapped inside a glass cage with my whole life already written out by someone else. "Asher..." Rowan breathed out, her eyes widening as we stepped past the tree line and the trees opened up to a massive, sweeping view of the valley below. "Where are we? This place is... incredi

    Rowan’s Pov The heavy oak doors of the administration conference room clicked shut behind me, trapping me inside a cage of old men in expensive suits and pack elders smelling like stale paper and cedar. My palms were sweating against the wooden table. I expected them to drop the hammer immediately—to throw my true Omega biology in my face, tear up my provisional Beta registration, and strip my jersey right off my shoulders before I even laced up my skates. Instead, they opened file folders. "Miss Hayes," Chairman Vance spoke first, his voice dry and sharp like old parchment. "Let us discuss your academic transcripts from your previous regional district. Furthermore, let us examine your medical waiver logs and athletic scholarship endorsements." They didn't mention my scent. They didn't mention the unmasked night in the courtyard, or Damien Knight's back-channel whispers. They attacked me with paper. They questioned my GPA from sophomore year, my physical rehabilitation records af

    Asher’s Pov The rink lights hit me hard the second I stepped onto the ice. My heart was already racing. Game day—the biggest one yet for Rowan. I could feel it in my bones. I looked for her right away. There she was, skating in warm-ups as she belonged. Stick in her hands—helmet on. I wanted to skate over and tell her everything would be fine. But I stopped myself. She needed to trust herself, not lean on me. I tapped my stick against hers as I passed. Just once. Soft. Our eyes met for a second. She gave a tiny nod. That was enough. I skated away to lead the team. Coach Brooks was yelling drills. The guys were loud. The crowd was already filling the stands. Silvercrest colors everywhere. The game started fast. Hits came hard. Bodies crashed into the boards. Pucks flew. Rowan stayed right in the middle of it. No fear. I watched her from the blue line. She cut through defenders like she had been doing it her whole life. The first goal came quickly. I fed the puck up the wing. Rowan
