I got dressed in jeans and a casual shirt. Apparently, I was going somewhere “important” before breakfast had even settled in my stomach.

Axel did not explain much while we ate. He only watched me across the table with that intense look of his, the one that told me that he was more interested in feeding me than focusing on his food.

After breakfast, he led me through the mansion toward the east wing. I had thought I had already seen the grandest parts of the house, but I was wrong. The

  • The Hockey Alpha's Hidden Mate   Our Mate

    VioletI got dressed in jeans and a casual shirt. Apparently, I was going somewhere “important” before breakfast had even settled in my stomach.Axel did not explain much while we ate. He only watched me across the table with that intense look of his, the one that told me that he was more interested in feeding me than focusing on his food. After breakfast, he led me through the mansion toward the east wing. I had thought I had already seen the grandest parts of the house, but I was wrong. The east wing opened into a library so huge that I actually stopped walking.Tall shelves climbed all the way to the ceiling, packed with books, leather-bound volumes, rolled maps, carved boxes, and thick files tied with faded ribbons. Brass ladders rested against some shelves. Long reading tables stood in the center, each with green-shaded lamps. The room smelled of old paper, polish, smoke, and history.Not the kind in college textbooks where everything was trimmed and cleaned for exams. This felt

  • The Hockey Alpha's Hidden Mate   Am I Going Mad?

    VioletThe engagement ceremony ended much after midnight. By then, my cheeks hurt from smiling, my feet were begging for mercy, and I was mentally exhausted. Ashley and her family kept their distance after the little scene, which was the best gift they could have given me. Rebecca had disappeared early too, still scratching discreetly at the red patches climbing up her neck and chest. I should have felt guilty. But actually, I felt guilty pleasure. Lol. The rest of the pack members were surprisingly jubilant. I had expected more hostility, people telling me I did not belong there. Though some of it was there, most of them seemed more interested in celebrating than judging.They drank, danced, laughed, and pulled Axel into conversations every few minutes. I was shocked to see how much they loved festivities. For people who could turn into wolves and rip someone apart, they were strangely enthusiastic people. Somehow, I felt comfortable around them as compared to my species aka humans

  • The Hockey Alpha's Hidden Mate   A Purple Mark

    VioletHis words landed inside me like a small crack.A façade.Of course it was. So why did it hurt? Why did I suddenly feel stupid for letting my heart flutter during the dance, as if any part of this belonged to me? How stupid I was. I looked away first so that Axel didn’t see that hurt in my eyes. Axel introduced me to several important pack members and one of them was Beta Hunter, Ashley’s father. He was looking like a hawk. Beside him was his wife. She had that look of pure abhorrence in her eyes. She said, “Ashley had always dreamt of being Axel’s wife. It was her dream ever since she said her first word. Who knew that her dream would be stolen by… you?” She sniffled in her hanky and Beta Hunter wrapped his arm around her shoulders. “You can’t fight destiny, Rita,” he said. Uncomfortable, I looked at Axel, who quickly moved to the next guest with me. After almost an hour of greetings and dances and polite conversations, I was tired enough to consider hiding under one of th

  • The Hockey Alpha's Hidden Mate   The Engagement

    VioletAxel gulped his whiskey, and I gulped my wine.Both of us were too nervous. Axel’s jaw was tight, his shoulders were stiff. For me, getting engaged had never been in my plans. Surviving college was. Suddenly, a terrible thought slipped in. What if someone discovered our lie?Axel placed his empty glass aside and took my hand. His fingers squeezed mine once as if to assure me that he was with me. That small pressure steadied me.Together, we walked toward the small dais that had been created at the center of the garden venue. As we moved through the crowd, people parted for us, smiling, bowing and whispering. I tried not to trip over the hem of my purple gown as over a hundred werewolves watched me. I didn’t want to imagine what would happen if they all shifted.My eyes went to Rebecca. She stood beside Alpha William, wearing that blue gown with diamonds at her throat and murder in her eyes. Her neck was red now. A few angry patches had spread down to her chest, and every few s

  • The Hockey Alpha's Hidden Mate   What Rules?

    VioletAs we walked toward the garden, Axel looked down at me. “What happened to the white gown?”I kept my hand tucked into his, considered lying. I could not tell Axel about how the fabric had gone tore or about the voice in my head. So I told him the safest part of the truth.“There was something on it,” I said quietly. “When I touched it, my fingers turned blue. It started itching and burning.”Axel stopped walking. His expression hardened so fast that the air around him changed. “What?”“I didn’t know what it was. Some chemical, maybe. I tore the dress in anger.”His jaw clenched. “I’ll investigate it.”I squeezed his hand. “Later. Right now, we have an engagement to survive.”The venue was beautiful.The garden had been transformed with golden lanterns hanging from bare winter branches. Long strips of sheer white fabric flowed between poles, moving lightly in the cold breeze. Round tables were arranged across the stone courtyard, covered with cream cloths and crystal glasses. At

  • The Hockey Alpha's Hidden Mate   A Diamond Necklace

    Violet The look on Rebecca’s face was precious. Honestly, I wished I had a camera ready.She stood at the bottom of the staircase in her blue gown, her cold smile gone, her eyes fixed on my purple dress like I had personally slapped her with it. For a woman who loved control so much, she looked very close to choking on her own anger.Good. Because the white engagement gown I had chosen for myself was no longer wearable.When I had returned from the spa in the evening, I found it laid neatly on Axel’s bed. At first, I thought one of the servants had placed it there after pressing it. The gown looked perfect, smooth and white and beautiful, just the way I had bought it. But the moment I picked it up, a bitter smell hit my nose.I frowned. It was not perfume. It was something sharp like a chemical. I scanned the fabric carefully, but there was nothing visible on it. My eyes landed on my fingers that were touching the fabric. They had turned blue.For a second, I only stared at them, co
