All Chapters of Falling For The Alpha Hockey Player. : Chapter 141

Cassie's POV It's been three days since the trials. Three days since I felt Knox's pain tear through me like I was the one being beaten in that arena. Three days of waiting for news that never comes.The aches have faded to a dull, constant throb in my chest. Not the sharp, stabbing agony of broken ribs or fractured bones. Just this persistent reminder that something is wrong. I'm sitting in class again, staring at diagrams that blur together into meaningless shapes. The professor keeps talking about words that don't register.All I can think about is Knox lying in some pack hospital, his body broken, while I sit here pretending to be a normal college student.“Cassie.”Adrian's voice is quiet beside me. His hand touches my arm gently.I blink, realizing I've been staring at the same page for the last twenty minutes without turning it.“Sorry,” I whisper. “I'm just—”“I know.” His expression is understanding. Worried. “Do you need to leave? We can go get some air.”I shake my head.
