Twin Aces: Claimed by the Alpha Captain (MM Romance) Chapter 43 — The Dain Problem
Lucian POVThe message arrives late in the afternoon when the building is quiet, and the ice has already been cut for the night. I sit alone in the locker room with my elbows on my knees as I stare at nothing. My gear is half off, and my skates are unlaced but still on my feet. I look like I stopped in the middle of leaving and forgot how to finish.My phone buzzes once. I almost ignore it, but then it buzzes again. It is an unknown number. I stare at the screen for a long second before I unlock it. The message is short.Private dinner tonight. League officials. Sponsors. You should come.A pause follows, and then another message arrives before I can process the first.Come alone.My chest tightens. I do not need a name or a signature because I already know it is Dain. The air in the locker room feels different all of a sudden. It is thicker and harder to breathe. I lean back slowly and rest my head against the cool metal of the locker behind me while I close my eyes.This is how it s
Twin Aces: Claimed by the Alpha Captain (MM Romance) Chapter 42 — What Maddox Said
Orion POVI do not tell him right away. That is the first mistake, or perhaps it is a choice. I tell myself I am giving him one more day of quiet. I want one more morning when the only thing between us is what we choose, not what is coming.But the truth does not wait. It sits with me through practice, through meetings, and through the long stretch of hours where I watch him move across the ice as if nothing is wrong. He acts as if nothing is about to break. The longer I hold the secret, the heavier it becomes. By the time we return to the hotel, I already know how this ends. It will not be quiet or clean.He is sitting on the edge of his bed when I walk in. He is unlacing his skates with his head bent and his focus narrow. He always takes care of his gear before anything else. He values order and control. I close the door behind me, and he looks up. He is not immediately wary, but he is aware."You are quiet," he says."I have been thinking.""That is never a good sign.""No."I do n
Twin Aces: Claimed by the Alpha Captain (MM Romance) Chapter 41 — Jealousy Is Not a Flattering Color
Orion POVI do not usually go out with the team. Everyone already knows this. I show up when necessary, stay long enough to make my presence clear, and depart before anything gets careless. It is easier and cleaner that way. Control depends on distance.Tonight is different. It is not because of the group or the tradition. The end of the preseason is routine, yet everything changes because Lucian is sitting three seats down from me at the long table. He has a glass in his hand that he has not touched in twenty minutes. He came, and that alone shifts the night.He does not belong in places like this. It is not because he cannot handle the environment, but because everything here is unpredictable. It is loud and close. There are too many people, scents, and chances for something to slip. Yet he is here, watching. His posture is controlled, his shoulders relaxed in a convincing manner, and his expression is neutral. He listens more than he speaks. His eyes track conversations and exits.
Twin Aces: Claimed by the Alpha Captain (MM Romance) Chapter 40 — The Morning He Cooks
Lucian POVI wake up expecting distance. That instinct hits before I even open my eyes. I look for the version of Orion Kael that exists outside this room. I expect the captain, the controlled one, and the man who keeps everything sharp and untouchable. I expect him to be cold, focused, and already gone.Instead, I smell food. It is not the faint, forgettable kind that lingers from hotel trays. This is different. It is real and warm. I smell eggs and something toasted. Something is slightly burnt at the edges in a way that feels human instead of perfect. For a moment, I stay still while trying to place the scent. Then I open my eyes.Orion is in the kitchenette. He wears gray sweats with sleeves pushed just enough to expose his forearms. His back is turned. He has one hand on the pan while the other reaches for something on the counter as if this is normal. He acts as if this is a routine he performs every morning. He acts as if I did not expect him to disappear.I sit up slowly. The
Twin Aces: Claimed by the Alpha Captain (MM Romance) Chapter 39 — What Maddox Knows
Orion POVMaddox stops pretending on Thursday. He does not do it with a joke or one of his half-smirking comments that sound casual until you realize they are not. He waits until practice is over and the room has mostly cleared. He waits until the last of the noise from the showers and the trainers has faded into the hallway. Then he closes the locker room door behind him and looks at me as if he is done circling the point."We need to talk."I keep stripping tape from my wrist. "That usually means you are about to annoy me.""That usually means you already know I am right."I glance at him once. Maddox is leaning against the lockers with his arms crossed. His posture is loose, and his face is unreadable in a way I do not trust. He is in a better mood than he should be for someone about to say something dangerous. I toss the tape into the bin and sit down on the bench."Say it."His eyes flick once toward the hallway to check that no one is coming back. Then he says, "He is Omega."It
Twin Aces: Claimed by the Alpha Captain (MM Romance) Chapter 38 — The Photo Problem
Lucian POVI do not see the photo right away, and that is the first mistake. It is not mine, not really, but it feels like it is. By the time it reaches me, it has already started spreading and bending. It picks up meaning it was never meant to carry, and turns something quiet into something visible. It becomes something dangerous.It happens after the morning skate. We are coming off the ice while the usual noise fills the rink. Skates are cutting, sticks are tapping, and someone is shouting across the boards about a missed pass that does not matter anymore. I keep my head down with a towel around my neck. My breath is still uneven from the last drill. Everything looks normal, and it almost convinces me that it is.Then Keller slows beside me. His phone is already in his hand, and his expression is caught somewhere between curiosity and something else he is trying not to show."Hey," he says in a way that is casual but isn't casual at all. "Have you seen this?"I do not answer right
