Damon

The ice struck my knee hard enough to send pain through my entire leg, but I barely felt it.

My hand remained pressed against my chest while the mate bond pulsed again.

Not sharply.

Not like the pain of rejection.

This was different.

Warm.

Weak.

Distant.

Alive.

“Damon!”

Mason reached me first.

He dropped beside me and grabbed my shoulder while the other players gathered around. Coach Grant blew the whistle and ordered everyone to move back, but their scents and voices still crowded the ai

    ElliotThe private medical room felt smaller with my entire family inside it.Dad stood near the foot of the examination bed, pretending to read the instructions printed beside the scanning machine. Evelyn sat close to me, one hand resting over mine. Elias remained near the wall, far enough away to give us privacy even though I had personally asked him to stay.Miriam moved around the room preparing the equipment.“This will be a more detailed scan than the last one,” she explained. “We should be able to confirm the pregnancy’s position, early development, and heartbeat.”My stomach tightened.I had heard the heartbeat briefly during the earlier check.The sound had been faint and fast, filling the room for only a short moment before Miriam ended the examination.This time felt more serious.Official.Dad looked away from the instructions.“Is there any reason to believe something is wrong?”“No.”Miriam answered calmly.“The blood results are good, and Elliot’s symptoms remain normal

    Elias“I hate that part of me still misses him.”Elliot’s confession remained in the strategy room long after he looked away.Damon’s face was frozen across the large screen, his expression cold and exhausted after Silver Moon’s recent match. Elliot sat in the padded chair behind the table with my handkerchief held tightly between his fingers. His other hand rested over his stomach.I wanted to tell him Damon did not deserve to be missed.The words rose immediately, driven by jealousy and anger.I swallowed them.This was not about what Damon deserved.It was about what Elliot felt.Feelings did not disappear because someone else considered them inconvenient. I had told Rowan that caring for Elliot meant respecting his choices, even when those choices hurt me.That promise mattered most when the hurt became real.I moved from the chair across the room and stopped beside the table.“May I sit closer?”Elliot looked at me.His eyes were still wet.After a moment, he nodded.I pulled the

    ElliotI watched Silver Moon’s first match three times.The first time, I barely noticed the hockey.All I saw was Damon.He stood near the tunnel before the opening whistle, dressed in Silver Moon’s dark uniform with the captain’s symbol stitched across his chest. His shoulders looked broader than I remembered, and there was a sharper edge to his face.He had always been strong.Now he looked hardened.His expression remained cold as the announcer called his name. The crowd cheered loudly, but Damon barely reacted. He skated toward the center of the rink, spoke briefly to his teammates, and prepared for the opening face-off as though nothing outside the ice mattered.I knew better.The Damon I remembered used to smile before important matches.Not a large smile.A private one.He would roll his shoulders, tap his stick twice against the ice, and look toward the stands to see who had come to watch him.Sometimes his eyes found me.I used to pretend they did not.The Damon on the scree

    ElliotThe official invitation list arrived shortly after noon.Coach Harrison called the coaching staff into the strategy room before the announcement was released publicly. The players gathered outside the glass walls, pretending not to watch while failing badly.I sat behind the long table with my folder open in front of me.Elias stood near the entrance.He had no official reason to attend a coaching meeting, but tournament security had become part of every discussion. With twelve packs entering Mooncrest territory, the palace and arena were being treated like a military operation.Dad approved of that.I found it exhausting.Coach Harrison entered carrying a sealed black envelope stamped with the Regional Hockey Council’s crest.The room became silent.“This is the final list,” he said.One of the assistant coaches leaned forward.“All twelve?”“All twelve.”Excitement moved through the room.I felt it too.This was my first major tournament as part of a coaching team. My name wo

    Elliot“You were talking about me.”The words left my mouth before I could stop them.Elias stood at the palace entrance with Rowan beside him. The evening wind moved through the open doors, carrying the scent of the training grounds into the hall.Neither man answered immediately.That silence told me enough.I looked at Elias.His expression had changed completely.The calm Beta who always seemed prepared for every situation had disappeared. He looked almost afraid.Not of me.Of what I had heard.My fingers tightened around the folder in my hands.“I should go.”“Elliot.”Elias took one step forward.I stepped back.The movement stopped him immediately.Pain flashed across his face.He did not try again.“I wasn’t planning to tell you,” he said.“That does not make it better.”“I know.”Rowan glanced between us.“I’ll leave you two alone.”“No.”The answer came too quickly.Both men looked at me.I forced myself to breathe.“I don’t want to talk now.”Elias nodded.“Alright.”No ar

    EliasRowan’s question remained between us.“Are you falling in love with him?”For several seconds, I said nothing.The training grounds stretched behind him, filled with the distant sound of warriors finishing their afternoon drills. Palace guards moved along the outer path. Servants crossed the courtyard carrying tournament supplies.Everything continued normally.Only I felt as though the world had shifted.I looked toward the palace doors where Elliot had disappeared with Sophia.My wolf remained alert, still listening for his footsteps even though he was no longer near us.That reaction gave me the answer before I spoke.“Yes.”The word came quietly.Rowan’s expression did not change.Perhaps he had already known.I looked away.“I think I am.”“You think?”“I know.”Admitting it made the feeling heavier and clearer at the same time.I had spent days calling it admiration.Then concern.Then friendship.Each explanation became less convincing whenever Elliot smiled at me, truste

Food stalls lined the edges, their delicious aromas mingling with the excitement, while children ran around wearing Damon jerseys, their

    The entire city were buzzing with excitement, the air thick with anticipation that you could almost feel on your skin no matter where you went. 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

    Elliot POV Just like every day, the sharp ring of the alarm clock cut through the quiet morning and pulled me from my restless sleep. I groaned softly and tugged the thin, worn blanket up over my head, trying to block out the world for just a little longer. For a brief moment, I let myself pret
