All Chapters of Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player. : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Knox's POV I can't move. I can't breathe. I can't do anything except stare at the empty doorway where Cassie just disappeared.She was right here. Right in front of me. And I—‘Go after her!’ Nyx roars in my head, suddenly more alive than he's been in days. ‘Our mate is running, Knox. Chase her.’My feet move forward before I can stop them.“Don't even think about it.”Maya's hand slams against my chest, stopping me cold. Her golden-green eyes blaze with fury.“Maya, I need to—”“You need to stay the hell away from her.” Her voice is low, deadly. “Haven't you done enough damage?”The words hit me like a blow to the chest. Behind Maya, the other dancers shift uncomfortably. Some whisper to each other. All of them are staring at me like I'm some kind of monster.Maybe I am.“I just wanted to talk to her,” I protest. “Talk to her?” Maya's laugh is bitter. “You had your chance to talk. Multiple chances, brother. Instead, you chose not to. So no, Knox. You don't get to talk to her now.”

Cassie's POV Thursday arrives faster than I expect.I stand outside the study room Adrian mentioned, second-guessing this decision for the tenth time in as many minutes. Through the small window in the door, I can see people already inside, laughing, talking, looking comfortable in a way I haven't felt in weeks.This is probably a mistake. I should leave, text Adrian some excuse about not feeling well or having too much homework.My phone buzzes before I can retreat. Adrian. “You're standing outside the door aren't you? I can see your shadow. Come in before you talk yourself out of it.”Damn it!I push open the door before my courage completely evaporates. Five faces turn toward me. Adrian sits at the head of the table, his blue eyes lighting up when he sees me.He gestures to an empty chair beside him, and introduces me to everyone in the study room. A girl with short black hair and kind eyes waves. “I'm Jen. Pre-med, focusing on pediatrics.”“Brian.” A tall guy with glasses nods

Cassie's POVThe coffee shop near campus is quiet on Sunday afternoon. Most students are either recovering from weekend parties or buried in homework they procrastinated. I'm just grateful for the peace as I wait at a corner table, nursing a latte I haven't actually tasted yet.My phone sits face-up on the table. Adrian's text from this morning is still on the screen.“Coffee? Just the two of us this time. No study pressure. Promise I won't quiz you on cardiovascular pathology.” I'd hesitated before responding. The study group was one thing— safe, structured, surrounded by other people. But coffee alone felt different, and more intentional.But I'd said yes anyway. Because Maya was right. I need to move forward. I need to build a life that isn't defined by someone who doesn't want me. Even if my chest still aches with every breath.The door opens and Adrian walks in, spotting me immediately. He's wearing jeans and a worn hoodie, hair slightly damp like he just showered. He looks... n

Knox's POVThe next day. The drive to Lizzy's apartment feels like driving to my own execution. My hands grip the steering wheel so tight my knuckles are white. Every turn, every stop light, every mile brings me closer to a decision that will destroy what's left of me.But it's the only option left.I can't claim Cassie. My father will kill her. I can't reject her formally, without the mate bond killing both of us faster. And I can't show up to the championship in five days as a dying wolf without a mate. My father will strip my title, my position, everything I've worked for.At least if I choose Lizzy, I keep something. My hockey career. My captaincy. The appearance of normalcy. Even if it costs me everything that actually matters.Nyx protests weakly in my mind against this sudden decision, but I can't hear him. “Cassie deserves better than a dying wolf and a coward who can't protect her,” I mutter to the empty car.I pull into the parking lot of Lizzy's apartment complex. It's e
