All Chapters of One Biker Princess For Four Hockey Alphas: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Raven’s POVI found Ethan on the roof of the arena.The door creaked when I pushed it open, and the cold night air hit my face. He was sitting on the ledge, legs hanging over the side, blond hair messy from the wind. The campus lights glowed far below. He did not turn around even though he had to hear me.I walked over and sat next to him without asking questions. Our shoulders almost touched.For a long time neither of us spoke.Finally Ethan said, “I knew you would come looking.”His voice sounded rough, like he had not used it in hours.I stared straight ahead. “I talked to my mom. I know what I am now. I know what they want to do to me.”Ethan turned his head fast. His icy blue eyes looked too bright in the dark. “What did she tell you?”“That the elders will kill me if they find out whose blood I carry.” I kept my voice flat. “That four bonds will either save me or rip me apart. That I should run.”Ethan’s jaw tightened. “You are not running.”“I already decided that,” I said.

Raven’s POVThe council room was underground and cold, smelling of moist stone and fear.Rows of elders sat on raised benches that curved around a single circle marked on the floor. Torches burned in iron holders even though electric lights hung overhead. Everything about the place screamed power and punishment.I stood in the circle alone.Ethan, Luca, Dante, and Eli were forced to wait behind a red line ten feet back. Armed enforcers stood between me and them. I could feel the bonds straining, like invisible chains pulling at my chest.The head elder, a woman named Voss with iron gray hair and eyes like winter, spoke first.“Raven Blackthorne. You are charged with forming unnatural bonds with four males. One Omega cannot bind more than one Alpha. It breaks every law we have lived by for centuries. Do you deny it?”I lifted my chin. “I do not deny the bonds exist. I deny that they are unnatural.”A low murmur went through the elders.Voss leaned forward. “Explain.”“My wolf chose

Raven’s POVThe council chamber under the arena was colder than the ice outside. Stone walls, no windows, just torches that made shadows jump. They had dragged us all down here right after Elder Veyron stormed out of the box. Now the entire elder circle sat on the raised benches, faces hard, and eyes locked on Eli.Eli stood in the center with his notebook open in his hands. His knuckles were white from holding it so tight. He looked small under all those stares, but his voice did not shake once.“I have records,” he started. “Real records, from before the Great Divide. Omegas who bonded with three, four, even five Alphas at the same time. The packs were stronger. The Alphas lived longer and the Omegas didn’t burn out. It was normal.”One of the older women scoffed loudly. “Human boy reading fairy tales.”Eli didn’t flinch. He flipped the page and held up a photograph of an ancient scroll. “This is from the Silver Hollow archive. Dated 1432. The Omega in the story is named Lysandr

Raven’s POV Eli’s blood was warm on my hands and it kept coming out too much. The silver knife stuck out of his ribs and every second it stayed in there it poisoned him more. His skin was already going gray. His eyes fluttered like he was trying to stay with me but couldn’t.I heard screaming. Ethan, Dante, Luca, they were tearing Axel apart behind me, but it sounded far away. All I could see was Eli dying.I pressed both palms over the wound around the knife. My fingers shook so bad I almost couldn’t hold them still.“Stay with me,” I whispered. “Please, Eli. Don’t you dare leave.”I felt my chest crack open. A hot, wild feeling rushed up my throat and poured down my arms. It hurt. It burned, but I didn’t care. I pushed everything I had into him.Golden light exploded out of my hands.It wasn’t soft or gentle. It was bright, angry and alive. It wrapped around Eli’s body like fire. The air smelled like summer storms, pine and something older than any of us.Eli gasped. His back

Raven’s POV Luca and Dante shoved me behind them. They braced for impact.Ethan was coming to tear my throat out.And there was nothing any of us could do to stop it.Ethan’s cursed wolf hit Luca and Dante like a truck. Claws raked, teeth snapped. The three of them crashed to the ground in a tangle of fur and blood and shouting. I screamed Ethan’s name until my throat bled.Luca had Ethan’s front legs pinned. Dante wrapped his huge arms around Ethan’s neck from behind, trying to choke the curse out of him. Ethan thrashed and snarled and bit anything he could reach. Black veins crawled over his face. His eyes were empty.Elder Veyron stood back with his arms still raised, lips moving, feeding the curse more power.I dropped to my knees right in the middle of the fight. My hands shook so bad I could barely feel them. I was still empty from healing Eli, but right now it didn’t matter. I reached for the bond inside my chest. The one that connected me to Ethan. It was there, thin and
