Ava

Dear Moon Goddess,

I think You and I need to have a conversation.

Not about my wolf.

Not about the Full Moon Run.

And not even about Combat Training.

I need to ask You about boys.

Actually…

Just one boy.

Because I’m beginning to think Jace Walker is determined to confuse me.

He still teases me.

He still argues with me.

He still thinks commas are optional.

But then he thanks me for helping him.

He listens when I explain something.

He pulled out my chair like a gentleman.

And yesterday…

I fou

  • The Alpha’s Puck Bunny   Chapter 14

    JaceCoach Daniels had a theory.If practice ended with everyone still able to breathe normally, we hadn’t worked hard enough.Judging by the burning in my legs as we lined up for yet another breakout drill, today was shaping up to be one of his favorite practices.“Again!” Coach barked from the boards.We reset.Aaron chipped the puck behind the net to Corey, who immediately sent it back up the wall. I curled through the neutral zone, received the pass in stride, and crossed the blue line with two Silver Ridge defenders converging on me.A month ago, I would’ve forced the shot.Probably from too far out.Probably into a defender’s shin pads.Today my head came up before my stick did.Aaron was streaking down the weak side.Open.I feathered the puck across the slot instead.Aaron snapped it past the goalie before he could slide across.The red light flashed.Coach blew his whistle.“That’s it!” he shouted. “Again! Same movement.”We reset the drill, and the same thing happened.Pass.

    AvaDear Moon Goddess,I think You and I need to have a conversation.Not about my wolf.Not about the Full Moon Run.And not even about Combat Training.I need to ask You about boys.Actually…Just one boy.Because I’m beginning to think Jace Walker is determined to confuse me.He still teases me.He still argues with me.He still thinks commas are optional.But then he thanks me for helping him.He listens when I explain something.He pulled out my chair like a gentleman.And yesterday…I found out he’s been carrying around the hockey puck I threw at him.My puck.The one Dad helped me mark years ago.When I asked him why he kept it, he looked as surprised as I was.I don’t think he knows.The strange part is…I don’t think I need an explanation as much as I need to understand why it matters to me.Maybe it’s because, for the first time since sophomore year, I caught a glimpse of someone who isn’t the cocky hockey captain everyone sees.Maybe underneath all that confidence…There’s

  • The Alpha’s Puck Bunny   Chapter 12

    Ava The first thing I noticed when I walked through the academy gates the next morning wasn’t the whispers. It was the smiles. Not warm smiles. Not friendly ones. The kind people wore when they knew something you didn’t. I caught them all morning. A couple of sophomores glanced my way before immediately looking at each other. Two seniors stopped talking when I walked past them outside the science building. Even one of the teachers gave me an odd look before smiling to herself and continuing down the hallway. Normally, that would’ve made my stomach knot. After four years at Blackwood, I’d learned that curiosity usually came with gossip, and gossip almost always found its way back to me. Today felt… Different. Not better. Just different. By the time I reached my locker, I’d convinced myself I was imagining things. “There you are.” Sara appeared beside me carrying two textbooks against her chest. “I was beginning to think you’d skipped school.” “I conside

  • The Alpha’s Puck Bunny   Chapter 11

    JaceI had played in front of packed arenas before, but rivalry games at Blackwood always felt different.The noise started long before the puck dropped. Students crowded the stands in academy colors, homemade signs pressed against the glass while the pep band attempted to drown out the visiting section. Pack crests hung beside Blackwood’s silver-and-navy banners, and every howl rolling through the arena seemed to wake something restless beneath my skin. By the time I stepped onto the ice for warmups, the air practically vibrated with anticipation.This was the kind of game I lived for.Fast.Physical.Personal.Silver Ridge had beaten us twice last season, including the loss that ended our championship run, and no one on our team had forgotten it. Coach Daniels certainly hadn’t. He had spent the entire week drilling their forecheck into our heads and warning us that their defense would bait us into making impatient decisions.Usually, the moment my blades touched the ice, everything

  • The Alpha’s Puck Bunny   Chapter 10

    JaceThe walk from the arena to the library felt twice as long as it normally did.Maybe it was because Coach Daniels had decided we weren’t leaving the ice until every breakout was perfect. Maybe it was because my legs felt like they’d been replaced with concrete. Or maybe it was because I knew exactly where I was going.Tutoring.A week ago, I would’ve laughed if someone had told me I’d be spending three afternoons a week in the library.Now…I just hoped Ava wouldn’t notice how exhausted I was.The campus had settled into that strange quiet that only happened after dinner. The academic buildings glowed warmly against the darkening sky, and students hurried between dorms with backpacks slung over their shoulders, trying to finish homework before curfew. The air smelled faintly of rain, and somewhere in the distance I could hear the hockey arena’s compressors humming as they kept the ice frozen for tomorrow.By the time I pushed open the library doors, my shoulders were begging me to

  • The Alpha’s Puck Bunny   Chapter 9

    AvaI woke up fully expecting yesterday to follow me into today.After what happened in Combat Training, I had convinced myself Blackwood would have a field day with it. Someone would make a comment in the hallway. Lacey would probably have another sarcastic remark waiting for me. Maybe people would laugh about how the wolfless girl had been thrown across the mat by an Alpha’s daughter and still needed a trainer afterward. Whatever form it took, I spent most of the morning preparing myself for it.By the time I left the house, I had already practiced at least six possible responses in my head.Most of them were sarcastic.Two of them would have gotten me detention.One of them probably would have gotten Sara detention too, and she had not even been there when I thought of it.But when I reached the academy, nothing happened.No whispers followed me through the courtyard. No laughter suddenly stopped when I passed. Nobody pointed toward the fading bruise near my collarbone or asked whe
