All Chapters of THE TRIBID HOCKEY GOD & HIS OBSESSION: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

EVELESSAAretha thinks I should have let him mark us instead of my apparent hesitation, the thought follows me up the stairs, into the silence where the walls still smell like fresh paint and unfamiliar air. New state, new house, new life, same old danger, wrapped in a familiar name. I close my door and exhale harshly holding onto my heart to get a handle on my fast beating heart.My neck still tingles where his mouth hoovered. I wanted him to go ahead and mark me yet I have countless reservations and I just want to be fully prepared so I'm being careful.I feel my phone vibrate and check it, finding a new message from Aretha.Aretha:You're pacing again aren't you?. I snort. Of course she knows. Aretha always knows, she's been my anchor since the move. She's sharp tongued, intuitive,far too comfortable with the supernatural for someone who pretends she isn't.ME:I'm sitting on the floor, actually spiralling with dignity.Three dots appear, disappear, then reappear.ME:Bites can do

EVELLESSAI wake up warm and cosy as I stretch in bliss, for one stupid, half-asleep second, I forget everything.Then I feel it.An arm around my waist and a very pronounced hard on poking my behind and my body freezes as I suddenly remember that I am with Cassain.He is breathing slow and even almost angel like in his sleep.My heart starts beating fast as my body melts even more into him. Damn...my heat is coming up so I exhale and stay still because he didn’t cross the line.I carefully slip out of his hold, inch by inch. He stirs but doesn’t wake. I grab my hoodie, my phone, and escape into the bathroom like a criminal.I lock the door. Lean against it.“Get it together,” I whisper to my reflection.My neck looks normal. No mark. No glow. Just me.My wolf finally talks to me after being silent for a while.ARETHA:So. You alive?ME:Funny that you chose to talk to me of all times now, I thought you were totally gone.ARETHA:Please you have a new bestie she's even using my name.

CASSAINI'm awake before she is, I always wake up to her intoxicating smell first.Her shape under covers stirs slightly, limbs caught mid-dream struggle. Evelessa lies still now, turned toward the wall, fabric twisted at her feet as if pulled too tight during restless hours. Air hangs without sound beyond the rhythm of her breath - gentle, even, untouched by knowing what shifts happen because she's here. Silence fills the room. I stare at her but keep my hands to myself because if I touch her, I won’t stop.Aretha whispers through the bond "Heat is coming on strong". I know, I think to myself. A whiff of her, that’s all it takes. Smells like honey left in sunlight - thick, shifting. Warm air rises off her skin, slow pulses beneath the surface. Her blood hums but she has no idea what is happening within her right now or how dangerous it is for any unmated male to be around her now and every instinct in me screams mine.She shifts, groaning softly.I glance down just as her eyes fl

EVELESSA I don’t think anyone tells you what fighting your own body feels like. They make it sound as easy as taking your next breath but it I an absolute nightmare. I sit on my dorm bed trying hard not to cry, scream or break things as my entire body goes out their own way. Trying not to whimper. Trying not to think about Cassain standing just outside my door, giving me space he clearly doesn’t want to give. My skin feels wrong. Too sensitive. Like every nerve is awake and offended by air. “Get a grip,” I mutter to myself. Aretha stirs inside me, lazy and annoyed. You’re doing too much, just mate with him and get it over with. You'd love every moment if it instead of putting yourself through unnecessary pressure and stress". You’re not helping Aretha You’re fighting nature, she replies. That always hurts. A knock sounds. Soft. Controlled. “Eve?” Cass’s voice filters through the door. “Talk to me.” I swallow hard. “I’m fine.” Silence. Then, gently, “You don’t sound

EVELESSA It's been a week since our mating since we came out now, Cassain drives and we both go to the school together, as he opens the door the stares are much, he holds my hand and we move straight our different class lectures but then I notice Mara trying once more to be all over Cassain. I don’t mean to watch. I tell myself I’m just waiting for my next class. That I’m just standing by the railing overlooking the quad because I need air. But when I see Cass and Mara step into the open space below, my stomach tightens. People notice. Mara is smiling—confident, familiar. Like she expects this to go her way. Cass stops a few feet away from her. Doesn’t touch her. Doesn’t lean in. That alone makes the air shift. “Why are you avoiding me?” Mara asks, not bothering to lower her voice. “I’m not,” Cass replies evenly. “I’m setting a boundary.” Her smile falters just a little. “Since when?” “Since now.” A few students slow their steps. Pretend not to listen. They are absolu
