Riven

That morning, we woke up to the smell of cheap motel coffee and toast that the old lady had left outside our door. We ate quickly in silence, the single bed and last night’s almost-kiss still hanging heavy between us. Kael moved carefully, his bandaged arm making every motion awkward.

After breakfast, I went to wash off first. When it was Kael’s turn, he stood at the bathroom door, staring at the shower with clear frustration. His bandaged hand made it impossible for him to wash himself p

  • Pucked On Ice    The Cure or The Confession

    RivenI stood by the window in the living room, arms wrapped around myself, staring out into the pouring rain. Kael was still there. Just standing in the middle of the road, completely soaked, head bowed. He hadn’t moved in what felt like hours.I bit my lip hard, chest tight with worry. I knew he gets cold easily.Dex came up behind me and rested a hand on my shoulder. “What are you staring at?”I quickly turned away from the window. “Nothing.”Dex glanced outside anyway and sighed. “Are you worried about him? Who is he to you, really?”I lowered my head, unable to lie anymore. “Actually… Kael and I used to date. But please don’t tell anyone. It was our little secret.”Dex scoffed softly, but there was no real anger in it. “I knew something was going on between you two. I didn’t realize it was that serious.” He stepped closer and gently cupped my face with both hands. “I want you to forget about him and focus on me. I want you to love me. I want you to look at only me.”I forced a sm

  • Pucked On Ice    Bad At Love

    KaelI stood there frozen near the entrance, watching the whole thing unfold like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from.Riven had stood up, grabbed Dex’s face, and kissed him. Deep. Right there in the middle of the restaurant. Dex looked surprised for half a second before kissing him back, hands on Riven’s waist.My chest tightened so hard it hurt. Regret hit me like a truck. I wished I had never listened to Riven’s father. I wished I had told him to go to hell and dealt with the consequences. But then the memories came rushing back — my mother’s hands around my throat, May on the floor, Dad’s desperate face, and the lie we built to protect what was left of our family. If that truth came out, Dad could go to prison. May would be devastated. Everything would crumble.So I stood there and forced myself to look away.Faye, standing beside me, tilted her head. “Um… so your ex-boyfriend got a boyfriend now?”“Shut up,” I muttered, my voice low and sharp.She had been so happy when I asked h

  • Pucked On Ice    A sad date

    RivenIt had been a full week.A week of restless nights, constant overthinking, and an ache in my chest that refused to go away. I kept telling myself I was fine. That I was moving on. But every quiet moment brought memories of Kael crashing back in.Coach called me back to practice mid-week. He said the team needed me and that I had rested enough. I was happy to hear it. I thought throwing myself into hockey would help me forget Kael. Instead, it only made me miss him more. Every drill, every rush down the ice, every time I looked up expecting to see him on the other side… it hurt.I hadn’t seen him in person since that day at his place. But I still saw him on Instagram. I never blocked him there. I told myself it was just curiosity, but really I was torturing myself. Pictures of him smiling with Faye. Them out together. Him looking happy. Each post felt like another stab.One afternoon after practice, we were all in the locker room, showering together. Naked, water running down tir

  • Pucked On Ice    Fall Out

    RivenI sat on the couch with a bowl of popcorn in my lap, the TV glowing bright in the dim living room. The Bulls were playing today — a solid matchup against a strong rival team. The stadium was packed, fans roaring even through the screen. I should’ve been there. On the ice. Part of it.Instead, Coach had benched me. “Take some time to rest,” he’d texted early this morning. To be honest, I’d been off, slow, and distracted, with my body feeling heavier and more unpredictable every day. The omega changes were getting worse. My scent was stronger. I couldn’t risk being around the team like that.So I stayed home watching from the couch like some stranger instead of their teammate.“Come on!” I shouted at the screen as one of my linemates missed a perfect pass. “Right there! Skate it out!”Even alone, I was cheering, leaning forward, heart racing with every play. When we scored, I jumped up, popcorn spilling everywhere, pumping my fist. When the final buzzer sounded and we won, a big g

  • Pucked On Ice    May I?

    KaelThen a scream tore through the house. “What are you doing?!”Dad’s voice cracked with panic as he burst into the room. He saw Mom on top of me, her hands locked around my throat, and lunged forward. “Get off him! Let him go right now!”He grabbed her shoulders and pulled hard, but she fought like a wild animal, nails digging deeper into my skin, screaming curses. I was fading fast — vision blurring, lungs burning.Through choked gasps, I forced the words out, my small voice hoarse and desperate. “Dad… stop… don’t say anything… please… don’t tell anyone the truth…”Dad froze for a split second, staring at me in complete shock. His face twisted with confusion and pain. “Kael… what are you saying? She’s killing you! I have to—”“Please!” I wheezed, tears streaming down my face as my strength slipped. “They’ll take us away… they’ll take May… they’ll take you… I can’t lose you, Dad. Please… just… don’t say anything…”He looked completely stunned. His mouth opened like he was ready to

  • Pucked On Ice    My Secret Past

    KaelRiven’s father finally stopped the car in a quiet, deserted stretch of road. He turned to face me fully. I kept my eyes straight ahead, jaw locked, mind racing through every possible way this could go wrong. What the hell was he planning to blackmail me with?“After several deep digs into your life,” he said calmly, “I found out a big secret about you.”I finally turned to him, searching his eyes like I could read the truth there. My pulse hammered in my ears.“The secret isn’t really about you,” he laughed, cold and satisfied. “But I can assure you it belongs to someone you truly love and would do anything to protect.”Irritation flared hot and immediate. My eyes narrowed. “Are you trying to blackmail me using your own son? Are you being fucking real right now?”He growled in anger and jabbed a finger towards me. “You’ll listen to me, you hear me!”I just glared, fists clenched so tight my knuckles ached.“As I was saying…” His face softened into something almost smug. “I went d

    KaelI drove like a madman, weaving through traffic without caring about the speed limit or the honking horns behind me. My hands gripped the wheel so tight my knuckles turned white. The only thing in my head was Riven’s voice on the phone — quiet, tired, saying he was in the hospital. I didn’t eve

    Riven“Dex?” I said, surprised, still dazed from the near-miss.“Are you okay?” Dex asked, staring at me with clear worry etched across his face. He helped me stand, but the moment I put weight on my right ankle, a sharp, blinding pain shot up my leg. I hissed, nearly collapsing again. It was fract

  • Pucked On Ice    What Next?

    KaelI drove home with a heavy mind, the streets blurred by the falling snow. As I turned onto my street, my stomach dropped. A crowd of reporters and cameras was already clustered outside my gate, lights flashing even in the dim morning.“Gosh,” I sighed, gripping the wheel tighter. I quickly reve

  • Pucked On Ice    I am Me

    RivenMy father suddenly grabbed my hand, his grip tight and unrelenting. “Let’s go now. The man stays far away, so we don’t want to be late. I promise he is genuine. Two of my friends recommended him and have seen his great works.”“Dad, stop! You’re insane!” I yelled, yanking hard to free myself.
