Alpha Hockey Star's Forbidden Obsession のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 121 - チャプター 130

POV: ACEMy vision turned completely red.I didn’t care that my body was still recovering from wolfsbane and silver. I didn’t care that we were standing in the middle of the crowded athletic wing where anyone could see us. All I saw was Monroe’s hand way too close to Vine’s waist, and all I heard was his soft voice trying to get into her head. He was talking about her past—touching something that wasn’t mine—and my wolf was losing its mind inside my chest."How else do I get it to you?" My voice was a lot calmer when compared to the rage steaming inside me. "PLEASE, engage me."He said nothing. Ha.... The bastard really did know how to push my buttons. I didn’t walk toward them. Couldn't really find the patience to. I charged. My boots slammed against the floor like a warning echoing through the hallway.The air shifted as I moved. Before Vine could even react, I shoved myself between them, my shoulder crashing hard into Monroe’s chest. The hit knocked him back a step, his duffel ba

POV: VINEI was an anxious fucking mess.I stood in front of the cracked mirror in my bedroom, smoothing down the fabric of the dress Ace had sent over to my place a few hours ago. He hadn't even given me a reason; a sleek black box had just shown up at my door with a note that read *Wear this tonight.* I had tried it on fully expecting to feel entirely uncomfortable and out of place in whatever high-end designer crap an Alpha heir considered party attire. But here we were. The dark emerald silk slipped down my frame perfectly, hugging my curves in all the right places without choking the life out of me.He had texted earlier saying he’d be here soon, and I had no goddamn idea why my heart was trying to hammer its way out of my ribs. It was just a frat party. I had been to plenty of social gatherings before the world turned upside down, but knowing I was showing up as his actual date changed how I'd felt about tonight.To keep myself from pacing a hole into the floorboards, I grabbed

POV: ACEI didn't even let Jaxon finish his sentence before I dragged his heavy ass straight through the sweaty crowd, shoving past a couple of drunk freshmen until we hit the heavy backdoor. I slammed it open and hauled him out of the frat house all the way to the secluded back gravel lot, where the freezing night air finally slapped us in the face.The heavy bass from the living room turned into a dull, muffled thumping behind the brick walls."Are you out of your goddamn mind?" I turned on my heel to face him, my hands aggressively shoving into my leather jacket pockets to keep from shaking him. "Clyde's elder sister? How the fuck do you even know that? You haven't even met her family!"Jaxon looked like a ghost, his broad shoulders slouching as he ran a frantic hand through his dark hair. He let out a ragged, panting breath that fogged up in the cold air."Because I've been living with her for a week, Ace," Jaxon confessed, his voice sounding entirely shot. He paced a small circle

POV: VINEI didn't tell Clyde the truth.When I walked back into the suffocating heat of the frat house, I found her laughing near the stage, looking so completely full of life that the words died straight in my throat. I couldn't bring myself to break her heart right there under the neon lights. Instead, I just squeezed her shoulder, told her I was exhausted and heading home early, and went out to find Ace.I found him standing in the shadows of the gravel lot, the orange cherry of a cigarette glowing between his fingers. I frowned, the sharp scent of tobacco cutting through the crisp night air."You smoke now?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest as I stepped into the dim light.Ace shrugged, a slow, heavy movement of his shoulders as he took another drag, his dark eyes fixed on the tree line. "I've got a lot of shit on my mind, Vine. Stuff I'd rather burn out than take to heart."I let out a soft sigh, stepping closer until the heat radiating from his leather jacket reached my

POV: ACE"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fucking hell... No way...."The frantic curses ripped from my throat as the speakerphone cut to a sharp, dead dial tone. The heavy silence that dropped over the bedroom was fucking suffocating, instantly crushing the warm, quiet afterglow that had been lingering in the air seconds ago. The heat on my skin turned into ice. I hurriedly scrambled out of the bed, the mattress shifting violently as I frantically started gathering my clothes from the dark floorboards, shoving my legs into my jeans with trembling hands."Where the hell are you going?"Vine’s voice was quiet, sounding incredibly small and fractured from the center of the tangled sheets.I paused, my chest heaving as I buttoned my jeans, my leather jacket clutched tightly in my fist. I sat on the edge of the mattress, the leather creaking loudly in the quiet room as I desperately reached out to hold her hand, my fingers wrapping around her small wrist. I needed her to look at me. I needed her to se
