All Chapters of Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player. : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Lizzy's POV The door clicks shut behind Knox and I stand frozen in my living room, my heart pounding heavily. He chose me.After everything— after weeks of him avoiding me, after watching him spiral— he finally came back.He chose me.A smile spreads across my face, wide and genuine. This is what I've been working toward. What I've been fighting for since the moment I realized that nobody was threatening everything I'd built with Knox.We were together for years before whatever happened between us and he just decided I wasn't good enough for him anymore. Then, Cassie showed up from nowhere after years of being the perfect girlfriend, the perfect future Luna. Planning our future, and building something real.But now? Now he's coming back to where he belongs. With me, his own kind.I move to the window, watching his car pull out of the parking lot. Even from here, I can see how tense he is. How rigid his shoulders are.He looked terrible tonight, thinner than I've ever seen him. Dark

Cassie's POVThe library café is quieter than usual on a Wednesday afternoon.Adrian sits across from me, his textbook open but ignored. He's been distracted all day, his leg bouncing under the table, energy practically radiating from him.“You okay?” I ask, looking up from my pathology notes.He blinks, refocusing on me. “Yeah. Sorry. Just... the championship is tomorrow. Can't seem to settle.”Tomorrow. The national championship game.Something twists in my chest, but I push it down. Force my expression to remain neutral.“That's a big deal,” I say, keeping my tone light. “You nervous?”“Terrified.” He laughs, running a hand through his blonde hair. “We've been working toward this all season. Everything comes down to one game.”“You will be great.” I mean it.Adrian is talented, dedicated. I've heard enough about hockey from Maya to know he's one of the best players in the league.“I hope so.” He leans forward, his blue eyes finding mine. “Will you come? To the game?”The question c

Knox's POVThree minutes left.We're up by one. The bluefangs are pressing hard, desperate, but my team holds the line.I steal the puck from Adrian's center, my skates cutting across the ice faster than my body should allow. Every muscle screams in protest but I don't slow down.‘Almost there.’ Nyx's voice is so faint I can barely hear him. ‘Just a little more.’‘I know. Hold on, please.’ My voice is raw and desperate. Two defenders converge on me. I dodge left, then right, my vision tunneling to just the goal ahead.This is it. One more score and we seal the win.I shoot hard.The puck flies past the goalie's glove.Goal!The crowd erupts. The sound is deafening but somehow distant, like I'm underwater.We're up by two now. The championship is ours.I did it. Against every odd, every moment of weakness, every day of dying slowly, I made it to the end.My teammates slam into me, celebrating. Maverick grabs my helmet, shouting something I can't quite hear.But something pulls at my a

Maverick's POVThe hospital waiting room smells like antiseptic and fear.I pace the length of it for the hundredth time, my wolf restless beneath my skin. Knox is behind those doors somewhere, hooked up to machines, and I can't do a damn thing to help him.Maya sits in one of the plastic chairs, her face buried in her hands. Lizzy stands by the window, arms crossed, looking every bit the concerned girlfriend she thinks she is. But I know better. I know everything.The doors swing open and a doctor approaches, clipboard in hand. Young, tired and confused. “Family of Knox Black?”“That's us.” I step forward before Lizzy can. “How is he?”The doctor's expression is carefully neutral. Professional, I will say. “His vitals are stable but weak. Heart rate is low. Blood pressure concerning. But—” He pauses, glancing at his notes like they might suddenly make sense. “We can't find anything actually wrong with him.”That's it! The truth no one knows about apart from me and my best friend w

Maya's POVMy body doesn't stop shaking, but I follow Maverick slowly, away from Lizzy. Knox's wolf is dying. My brother had been cursed for years, and he kept it from me. He acted like he was okay, even when he was dying. And his fated mate, his only chance at survival, is my best friend. The girl who's been heartbroken for weeks because of my brother. The girl who doesn't even know werewolves exist.How did everything get so twisted?“Maya.” Maverick's voice pulls me back, making me realize we are now alone. He's watching me carefully, concern etched across his face. “You okay?”“No.” The word comes out strangled. “I'm not okay. None of this seems okay.”He leans closer, voice dropping.“I know this is hard.” He bites his lower lip as if he doesn't even know how to handle this. “Hard?” I almost laugh but it comes out as something broken. “My brother is dying because he stayed away from his fated mate to protect her. And that mate is my best friend who has no idea about any of t
