All Chapters of Claimed By The Three Hockey Alphas : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Freya's pov I don't sleep at all that night.Every time I close my eyes, I see Zane's face when he touched me. Feel the warmth of his hand on my cheek. Hear his voice saying "we protect our own" like it's a promise he'd die to keep.But underneath all that warmth is the cold terror of that photo. Someone was watching us. Someone saw him leave my room and thought it was worth documenting.By the time my alarm goes off at 6 AM, I'm already dressed and pacing my small dorm room like a caged animal.Tyler rolls over and groans. "Dude, why are you up so early? Practice isn't until after classes today.""Couldn't sleep," I mutter, grabbing my backpack. "Going to hit the library before it gets crowded.""You're weird," he says, but there's affection in it. "Don't study too hard."The campus is quiet at this hour, just a few early risers jogging along the paths and the maintenance crew setting up for the day. I breathe in the crisp October air and try to clear my head, but Zane's words keep

Freya's pov I don't sleep at all that night.Every creak of the building, every footstep in the hallway, every distant sound makes my heart race with the fear that whoever left that note has found me. I lie in my narrow dorm bed staring at the ceiling, replaying the evening over and over in my mind.*Watch your back. Trust no one. Your secret isn't as safe as you think.*The words echo in my head like a curse. Someone knows who I am. Someone's been watching me, studying me, learning my patterns. And now they're playing some kind of sick game where I'm the mouse and they're the cat.Tyler's peaceful snoring from the other bed should be comforting, but instead it just reminds me how alone I really am in this. He has no idea that his roommate is living a lie, that there's danger circling closer every day.When my phone buzzes at 6 AM with a text from Sebastian – *Meet us in the old equipment room under the arena. 6:30. We need to talk* – I'm already dressed and ready to go.The campus i

Freya's pov "This is insane," I whisper for the tenth time as Sebastian leads me through the halls of Westwind Hall, where the three alphas live."What's insane is letting you stay somewhere that psycho can break into," Logan says from behind me, carrying my overnight bag like it weighs nothing."But what will people think? What if someone sees me coming out of your room in the morning?""Then they'll think exactly what we want them to think," Zane says with a small smile. "That we're taking care of our teammate."We stop in front of a door marked 415. Sebastian pulls out his key. "This is it. Home sweet home."The room is bigger than I expected. A four-person suite with a common area and two bedrooms. It's clearly lived in, with hockey gear scattered around, textbooks stacked everywhere, and the comfortable mess that comes from three guys who are at ease with each other."Logan and I share the room on the left," Sebastian explains, pointing to one of the doors. "Zane has the single

Freya's pov I can't focus on anything Professor Chen is saying about Shakespeare and tragic heroines. All I can think about is the cruel smile on Stella's face and the way she mouthed "soon" like a threat.My hands shake as I try to take notes, but the words on the page look like meaningless scribbles. Every few minutes, I feel the urge to turn around and look at her again, but I force myself to stare straight ahead.She knows. Somehow, Stella Morrison knows exactly who I really am.The girl who's been obsessed with Sebastian, Logan, and Zane for years has been stalking me, watching me, learning all my secrets. And now she's sitting behind me in literature class like she owns the world.My phone buzzes against my leg. I glance around to make sure Professor Chen isn't looking, then carefully check the message under my desk.*Enjoying class, little wolf? I know I am. You look so tense. Relax. We're just getting started. – S*My blood turns to ice. She's texting me right now, while sitt

Freya's pov I wake up to the sound of quiet breathing around me and for a moment I forget where I am until everything comes back to me and I remember we're at Zane's family cabin hiding from Stella and her threats.The master bedroom is dim with early morning light coming through heavy curtains and I can see Sebastian sleeping on the pullout couch while Logan and Zane are on either side of me in the big king bed because we decided it would be easier to share than argue about who gets what.My chest is bound tight under my pajama shirt and I need to get to the bathroom before any of them wake up so I can adjust everything and make sure I still look like Freddie instead of Freya but when I try to slide out of bed quietly Zane's hand catches my wrist."Where are you going" he whispers and his voice is rough with sleep."Just the bathroom" I whisper back and hope my voice sounds deep enough this early in the morning.He lets me go with a gentle squeeze and I slip out of bed and pad acros
