Lucian POV

The digital clock on the mahogany nightstand glowed a sharp, steady red. 2:00 AM.

The penthouse was dead silent, dark except for the thin beams of city moonlight cutting through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Beside me, Orion was a massive, warm weight under the heavy duvet. His breathing was slow and deep, the steady rise and fall of his chest a familiar rhythm that usually brought instant sleep.

Instead, a sudden, violent spark of friction ignited deep inside my pelvis.

    Lucian POVThe air from the ice rink hit my face as I stepped out of the tunnel. It tasted like frost and stale sweat. My lungs took in the cold air of the arena, but my hand instinctively touched my flat stomach through my thick uniform.Everything changed this morning. I kept thinking about the bedroom rug, Orion's hands, and the small pulse under his skin."Eyes up, playmaker," Orion growled from behind me. His hand was on my shoulder pad, his fingers digging into the plastic.His scent, like cedar wood, was around me, wrapping me like a shield. He was not just my captain tonight. He was an Alpha protecting his family.I looked up at the stadium rafters. The championship banners were surrounded by thirty thousand screaming fans. The noise was a wall of sound that rattled the glass boards at ice level. Tonight was Game 5. The winner would take the qualifier spot for the World Cup tournament. The loser would go home with nothing."I am ready," I said, my voice steady.I skated out on

  • Twin Aces: Claimed by the Alpha Captain (MM Romance)   CHAPTER 86- Tender Claiming

    Orion POVThe morning light crept across the bedroom rug, warming the space between us. Lucian lay beneath me, his dark hair spread out like silk. His breathing was a rhythm, his green eyes wide and fixed on my face.The energy of our kiss began to slow down, turning into a warm feeling that settled deep inside my chest.I lifted my weight onto my forearms, careful not to press against his torso. My broad frame blocked out the rest of the suite, creating a private space over his skin. My strength had been a weapon on the ice, a tool for body-checks and brawls to protect our secrets.Now, that same power had to become a cushion."You are shaking, playmaker," I murmured, my voice low against his ear.Lucian reached up, his fingers trailing down my jawline before anchoring into my shirt. "I am warm, captain. The suppressors are out of my blood now. I can feel everything.""Good," I said.I slid my hands down to the hem of his sweatshirt, lifting the fabric slowly over his ribs. He raised

    Lucian POVThe weight of the world did not disappear; it shifted.I sat on the soft rug beside the huge bed, the sun now shining warm, golden light across the floor. The panic that had bothered me was gone, replaced by a quiet feeling. Orion remained on his knees in front of me, a huge Alpha who had just promised to tear down a huge sports empire to protect our future.My green eyes looked at the lines of his face. He was not looking at the league rules or the traditional critics. He was looking at me.A sudden, strong burst of emotion flooded my chest, completely wild. It was a natural love for the father of my child, a feeling so pure it made my breath catch. I did not want to think about executives, medical testers, or the upcoming Game 5 anymore.I wanted my mate.I reached out my fingers, tangling into the thick hair at the back of his neck. I pulled him down.Our lips met with a strong crash. It was not a kiss of comfort; it was a strong, passionate reclamation. Orion let out a

    Lucian POVThe tears soaking through my cotton shirt felt like hot needles against my chest. I was shaking in Orion’s arms, my slender frame completely spent from the weight of the medical discovery. The pale blue morning light was gaining ground across the hardwood floor, stripping away the shadows but leaving the cold reality of our trap completely exposed.I did not let go.I slid off the edge of the leather cushion, dropping onto my knees on the floor directly in front of him. My massive frame still towered over his sitting form. I reached out, my large hands sliding under the hem of his oversized gray sweatshirt. My palms flattened against the bare skin of his waist, my long fingers wrapping completely around the narrow span of his hips to anchor him to the spot."Look at me, playmaker," I said, my voice low, gravelly, and firm, brooking no argument.Lucian sniffled, his dark green eyes lifting slowly from his lap. His eyelashes were wet, clumping together as he stared down at me

  • Twin Aces: Claimed by the Alpha Captain (MM Romance)   CHAPTER 83-The Weight of the Crown

    Lucian POV The narrow strip of white thermal paper rested flat on the marble coffee table, the black printed numbers staring back at me like an execution order.Four weeks.The master suite felt ice-cold, the silent air freezing the breath inside my lungs. Dr. Vance was already packing his digital testing kit back into his black leather case across the room, his movements fast and completely silent under the dim pre-dawn light. He did not look at me. His gaze was fixed entirely on his equipment, bound by the multi-million-dollar non-disclosure contract he had signed before dawn.I sank deep into the leather sofa cushions, my entire body going completely numb.I had broken every single rule in the professional hockey league to survive. I had bound my chest with custom steel plates, injected toxic synthetic suppressors into my veins every week, and hidden my sweet vanilla honey aroma behind a wall of fake Beta blockers. I’d taken heavy body checks from giant enforcers, skated through

  • Twin Aces: Claimed by the Alpha Captain (MM Romance)   CHAPTER 82- The Secret Test

    Orion POV The grandfather clock in the corner of the penthouse living room ticked away with a heavy sound. It was 4:30 AM. Outside, the city was still dark, like a grid of cold steel and tiny yellow lights frozen under the frost before sunrise.Inside, the silence was thick enough to choke on.I was sitting on the edge of the leather sofa, my big body hunched forward. My chest rose and fell with tight breaths as I stared at the closed door of the master bathroom. My hands were shoved into the pockets of my sweatpants to hide the sudden shake in my fingers.I had never been afraid. I was the captain of the Wolves, the guy who could smash through anything and take the hardest hits in the league without flinching.Right now, my throat is completely dry.The bathroom door opened with a click. Dr Vance walked out into the living room, taking off a pair of sterile rubber gloves. He was our family’s doctor, a man bound by a secret agreement worth millions of dollars. I had called him to the
