Semua Bab Fated To My Hockey Stepbrother : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Another blow came before he could recover, then another. Each one harsher than the last. He stumbled back, trying to shift mid-motion, but a strong arm yanked him from behind, dragging him out of sight while he cursed and struggled.My rescuer turned toward me. His voice was deep, but laced with concern. “Are you alright?”I stared at him, my heart still racing, breath uneven. Words failed me. The world was spinning, fading into a blur. I wanted to say thank you but instead and without thinking, I reached for him, desperate to anchor myself to something and perhaps someone real.Before I could stop myself, I leaned in and kissed him.He froze at first, but didn’t push me away. That stillness made me kiss him again, softer this time as though my trembling lips were searching for safety in the middle of chaos.A few seconds later, I pulled back, tears mixing with the taste of regret and fear.Then nausea hit.I turned, but it was too late as my stomach gave out and I threw up right on h

“There’s no way I’d ever forget a gold digger like this,” I muttered inwardly as I stared at the girl standing before me. The same girl I’d been angry at myself for saving last night, the one who ruined my favorite shirt, was now being introduced as my stepsister? What kind of twisted hell was today trying to put me through?An alpha from another pack arrived and my father immediately excused himself with his new mate, the gold digger, to go welcome them.“You!” I snapped at the figure standing before me. This time, the only thing I felt for her was pure hatred and disgust.“Stay away from me, Zane Asher. I have no desire to speak with you,” she shot back, her tone sharp and unbothered as she turned to walk away.I grabbed her wrist, halting her in her tracks. The audacity in her voice only fueled my anger.“No one walks away while I’m still talking,” I growled. “Not without my permission.”She said nothing for a moment, her eyes scanning me from head to toe, as if daring me. I straig

Amelia POVThe bond mark on my wrist itched like a fresh tattoo, except tattoos didn’t pulse. I scratched until the skin peeled raw, but the silver crescent only glowed brighter, mocking me with every heartbeat. Then a perfect half moon formed into my flesh by the Moon Goddess herself, as if she had run out of eligible bachelors and decided my stepbrother was close enough.Lunaris Academy’s hallway smelled like industrial floor wax, cheap body spray, and the metallic stench of desperate teenagers. Lockers slammed like gunshots and someone’s blueberry vape cloud hung in the air, sweet. I hugged my books tighter, praying the sleeve of my oversized hoodie would hide the mark. One glimpse and the entire school would know I was fated to Zane.I could feel him even before I saw him, static crawling up my spine, the way the air shifts before lightning. He leaned against the trophy case at the far end of the corridor, surrounded by his new fan club. Girls in pleated skirts and Lunaris hockey

Coach was already there, kneeling. “Ryker, talk to me.” She pushed up on one elbow, blood spilling from her lip. “I’m good.”She lied. The bond carried the copper taste of blood straight to my tongue and I bent beside her. “Let me see.”She turned her face away. “Back off, Asher.”Coach dragged me up by the jersey. “Locker room. Both of you. Now.”The walk was silent except for our blades on the rubber mat. Her limp matched the throb in my knee because I had taken the impact through the bond without realizing.In the hallway, she stopped. “You checked me to prove a point. Happy now?”“You scored on me yesterday,” I said. “Had to even it.”Her laugh was sharp. “This isn’t a dick measuring contest, Zane.”“No. It’s survival. Rogue blood is coming and you need to be unbreakable.”She went still. “What do you know about rogues?”“More than you.” I stepped closer. “My mother’s one. Or was. Pack whispers say that she’s back.”Her eyes widened, her silver bleeding to storm gray, “Lydia?” I n

Amelia POVThe babys cry sliced through the mansion walls like a knife, thin and desperate, cutting straight into my chest. I stood frozen on the rain soaked lawn, Zanes blood still warm on my palms, when the sound hit me again. Louder. Real.Darius went rigid beside me. His golden eyes widened, the alpha aura around him flickering like a flame in wind. "That cant be," he whispered, voice breaking for the first time since Id known him.Zane grabbed my hand. The mate bond flared hot and urgent, screaming the same word over and over. Go. Now.We ran.Guards shouted behind us, boots pounding on wet stone, but we didnt wait. Zane and I burst through the front doors together, water dripping from our clothes onto the marble floor. Darius was right on our heels, face pale as moonlight."West wing," he ordered, voice rough. "The sealed corridor."I had never been allowed there. No one had. Since the day my mother married Darius, that hallway stayed locked, boarded up with yellow tape and warn
