Damon

The name followed me long after Coach ended the meeting.

It stayed in my head while the players changed out of their gear. It echoed through the locker room while everyone discussed the tournament, the scouts who would attend, and the teams we might face.

Mooncrest.

Each time I heard it, something shifted inside my chest.

Not pain exactly.

Something weaker.

Fainter.

A pulse that felt too distant to understand.

I pressed my palm against the place where the mate bond had once burned brightl

  • Rejected by My Hockey Alpha Stepbrother #omegaverse   Chapter 58: you want my mate

    DamonMason did not look back as he walked away from the garden.Lelia remained near the bench, her hands folded tightly in her lap. Her face was calm, but something about her posture told me the conversation had not been casual. She looked as though she had just agreed to something difficult.When she noticed me, her expression changed.Not guilt.Fear.That unsettled me more than anything else.I walked closer, careful not to move too quickly. The memory of her stepping away from me the previous evening still sat heavily in my mind.“Are you alright?” I asked.“Yes.”Her answer came too quickly.My eyes moved toward the path Mason had taken.“What were you discussing?”Lelia stood.“Nothing important.”“That did not look like nothing.”Her shoulders tightened.I immediately regretted the question. I sounded like Father, demanding answers simply because I believed I had a right to them.I softened my voice.“I’m not accusing you.”She studied me cautiously.“Mason saw me in the corri

  • Rejected by My Hockey Alpha Stepbrother #omegaverse   Chapter 57: between us

    LeliaI thought about Mason’s question all night.Could we really be friends when his wolf knew I was his mate?The answer should have been simple.No.There was nothing simple about being promised to one Alpha while fate tied me to another man. There was nothing safe about trusting Mason when my father had already threatened to destroy him. Even friendship felt dangerous because feelings rarely remained where people placed them.Still, when morning came, I found myself looking for him.Not openly.I knew better than that.The mansion was already busy with preparations for the engagement party. Servants carried flower samples through the halls, event coordinators argued about seating arrangements, and tailors waited outside my room with fabric I had not chosen.Every part of the day reminded me that my life belonged to an agreement.By noon, I needed air.I escaped through the rear entrance and walked toward the gardens. The bruise on my cheek had faded beneath makeup, but my wrist st

    MasonThe moment Lelia stepped into the corridor, her scent hit me.Fear.It was sharp enough to make my wolf surge forward before I understood what I was seeing. The sweet jasmine and wild honey scent I had recognized as hers was almost completely buried beneath panic, pain, and something bitter that made every protective instinct inside me rise at once.Mate.My wolf’s voice crashed through my head.Protect her.Lelia stood with one hand pressed against the wall as though she needed it to remain upright. Her hair had fallen across one side of her face, but it did not hide the angry red mark on her cheek. Her sleeve had been dragged low over her wrist, and the way she held that arm close to her body told me it hurt.I started toward her.Her eyes widened when she saw me move.Then the door behind her opened.Alpha Victor stepped into the corridor.He looked perfectly calm.His clothes were neat. His expression was controlled. There was no sign of anger or violence on his face, but th

  • Rejected by My Hockey Alpha Stepbrother #omegaverse   Chapter 55: don’t you dare fail

    LeliaThe walk to Father’s guest suite felt longer than it should have.Every step carried me farther away from the safety of the main wing and deeper into the quieter part of the mansion reserved for important visitors. The corridors here were almost empty. The servants had already finished preparing the rooms, and the guards stood far enough apart that no one would hear what happened behind a closed door.Father had chosen the location carefully.He always did.By the time I reached the suite, my palms were damp.I stood outside for a moment, staring at the polished wooden door.Maybe he only wanted to discuss the engagement.Maybe he had not seen me in the garden with Damon.Maybe the message had sounded colder than he intended.The lies came easily, but I did not believe any of them.I lifted my hand and knocked.“Enter.”His voice came from inside.I opened the door.Father stood near the window with a glass of amber liquid in one hand. He had removed his jacket, but the rest of

  • Rejected by My Hockey Alpha Stepbrother #omegaverse   Chapter 54: who did this to you

    LeliaThe moment Damon’s eyes dropped to my wrist, panic rushed through me.I pulled my sleeve down so quickly that the fabric caught against my skin, sending a sharp sting through the bruise. I tried not to react, but my fingers tightened around the edge of the sleeve anyway.Too late.He had already seen it.Damon stood several feet away near the fountain, his expression no longer distant or guarded. Something darker had entered his eyes, and for one terrible second, I thought he was angry with me.My body reacted before my mind could reason with it.I stepped back.“It’s nothing,” I said quickly.His gaze remained fixed on my covered wrist.“That didn’t look like nothing.”“I hit it against a door.”The lie came easily.I had used it before.A door.A staircase.A fall during training.A careless servant.There was always an explanation people accepted because the truth made them uncomfortable.Damon did not look convinced.“What kind of door leaves fingerprints?”My stomach droppe

  • Rejected by My Hockey Alpha Stepbrother #omegaverse   Chapter 53: two weeks

    DamonThe room remained silent after Father announced the date.Two weeks.Fourteen days until Lelia and I would stand before powerful Alphas, council members, sponsors, and hockey officials while everyone celebrated a future neither of us had chosen.I looked toward her.She sat across from Father with her back straight and her hands folded neatly in her lap. Her expression was calm enough to fool anyone who did not know what fear smelled like.But I did.The faint bitterness beneath her perfume had been there since she arrived.Lelia was afraid.She simply hid it well.“Two weeks is too soon,” I said.Father leaned back in his chair as though he had expected the objection.“The arrangements are already underway.”“That does not answer me.”“It was not meant to.”My jaw tightened. “You expect us to become engaged in front of half the region after barely knowing each other.”“You are already engaged.”“According to you.”Father’s eyes hardened.“According to an agreement between two A

    Elliot POVI woke up feeling awful.For a few seconds, I just lay there staring at the ceiling.My body felt strange.Heavy.Weak.Wrong.A dull headache throbbed behind my eyes.My stomach churned uneasily.Even sitting up made the room spin.I pressed a hand against my forehead and groaned.“What

Everywhere I turned, people were talking about the hockey game—the biggest one of the season, the championship match that had everyone on edge. Even be

    By the time training finally ended, every single part of my body ached with exhaustion and pain that ran deep into my muscles and bones. My arms throbbed from the endless drills, and my legs felt so weak they might give out beneath me at any moment. There was still dried mud caked on my clothes, a
