PUCKING THE BAD BOY CAPTAIN 62
Chapter 62 Riven “Sorry,” Vesper said, quieter. Then she turned back to me and the quiet was gone. “You are all the same. All of you. Silas will not tell me what Sunday is. Corvin will not tell Larkin anything. Nyx tore a page out of Callie’s notebook like it was his. And you sat on this for two days like Izzy was something you needed to protect instead of somebody you needed to talk to.”“That is not fair,” I said.“Is it not?”I opened my mouth. Nothing good came out of it, so I closed it again.“She is right,” Larkin said.We all looked at her. She was standing a little apart, arms wrapped around herself. “She is right and you are right. Both things.” She looked at the ground. “Corvin told me nobody can help him. That was the same thing. He thinks if I do not know, I am safe. But I already know. I heard it through a wall. Now I am not safe and I am also alone.”“You are not alone,” Callie said. She stepped next to Larkin and bumped her shoulder. “We are literally standing in a pa

Chapter 60Izzy“You knew for two days.”Riven did not answer. He kept both hands on the steering wheel even though the car was parked. We were sitting in the arena lot with the engine off and the heat dying, and the windows were starting to fog from the inside.“Two days,” I said again. “You promised you would tell me. You sat next to me at breakfast. You held my hand under the table at dinner. And you knew Lily was the one with the video.”“I needed to be sure.”“You read her notes. In her own words. How much more sure did you need to be?”“Sure enough to prove it.” He finally turned and looked at me. He looked terrible. Grey under the eyes, his jaw dark with stubble he had not bothered to shave. “I met Marcus on Wednesday. At the diner. He checked the recovery email on the drive against everything we found. It matches her. Her old school account. From the lake house summer.”“Little Lil,” I said. It came out bitter.He flinched. “Yeah.”“Your stepsister.”“For eight months. When I

Chapter 59VesperThe envelope was on my desk before I was.That was the first thing wrong with the morning. I always got to the media office at six forty five. Nobody else came in before eight. But when I unlocked my door, there was a cream colored envelope sitting square in the middle of my keyboard, and a woman was sitting in my chair.Liora.She had her long legs crossed and her expensive coat folded over the arm of my chair. She was drinking from my mug. My mug. The white one with the little gold V that Callie bought me for my birthday.“Good morning, Vesper,” she said. “Your coffee machine is terrible.”“How did you get in here?”“I asked nicely.” She set the mug down. “Sit. Or stand. I do not mind. This will not take long.”I stayed standing. My heart was already going too fast. The last time I saw this woman I was hiding in a hotel bathroom with Silas’s marks on my neck and my shoes in my hand.“Open it,” she said, nodding at the envelope.I did not want to. I opened it anyway

Chapter 58LarkinThe first time I saw Corvin Hale bleed, it was on my hands.Morning skate. Eight forty. I was taping a rookie’s wrist when the whole rink went quiet in that wrong way. The kind of quiet where nobody cheers and nobody yells. Just skates scraping to a stop.I looked up through the glass.Corvin was on his knees in the crease. His mask was off. His left arm hung from his body at an angle arms do not hang at.I was over the boards before anyone told me to move.“Do not touch it,” he said through his teeth when I slid down next to him. Blood ran from a cut over his eye where his own mask had cracked against his face. “Larkin. Do not.”“I have to.”“Not here.”“Corvin, it is out of the socket.”“I know where it is.” His eyes were wet with pain but his voice was flat. “Not on the ice. Not in front of them.”Them. Twenty players standing around us in a circle. And at the edge of the circle, still holding his stick, Brody Kemp. Fourth line. The guy who never hit anybody in pr

Chapter 57CallieVesper sent the schedule at six in the morning.Thursday. Dinner at Marlow’s on King Street. Window table. Photographers outside from eight. Hold hands across the table. Laugh at something he says, even if it is not funny. Let him walk you to the car.Underneath it she had added one more line.He will pick you up at seven. Please do not kill him before the gala.I sent back a single thumbs up and lay in bed staring at the ceiling. I had not stopped thinking about the rink. About the way his whole face changed when that phone buzzed. About his voice going low and flat when he said the name.Jax.I knew who Jax was. Everyone who followed hockey in this city knew. Captain of the Vipers. The Thunder’s worst rival. The kind of player who got fined more than he got praised. And Nyx Calloway, star winger for the Thunder, was talking to him like they were planning something.Just a girl from a paper.I got out of bed and opened my notebook and read those words again. Then I

Izzy He pushed the door open anyway. I jumped up and tried to shove it closed but he slipped in and shut it behind him. He looked at me. My face felt flushed. Breathing still fast.“You okay?” he asked. “You look all red and out of breath.”“I am fine,” I snapped. “What do you want? Get out of my

Izzy I slammed the door so hard my hand stung right away. My heart would not slow down. It kept pounding like it wanted to jump out. I ran down the hall to my room and locked the door fast. I pressed my back against it and slid all the way down to the floor. My legs felt weak. What the hell did I

Riven I couldn’t shake it no matter how hard I tried, the whole thing kept replaying in my head like some bad loop I couldn’t pause, her standing there in my doorway with her eyes wide and her mouth dropped open after she barged in without knocking like she owned the place too now that our parents
