All Chapters of The Hockey Captain I Slept With is My Stepson: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

RAE “YOUR ONS TURNED OUT TO BE YOUR DOCUMENTARY SUBJECT?! AND HE’S A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT?” I brought my phone to my ear again. “Mandy, I’m pretty sure yelling was created for only dire situations.” Water from the faucet splashed as I rinsed my toothbrush and I mumbled a curse. My parents weren’t home when I arrived and Johnie was already in bed, so I just locked myself in my room. After the day I just had, I was hoping to sleep and wake up as a completely different species, but someone else’s body might also work. “How is this not dire? Rachel Delaney Kane, did you not just hear yourself?” Uh oh, my full government name was out. I leaned against the sink, sporting my favorite baby pink pajama set, nose crinkled. “It’s that bad?” “Yes! It is. Your whole life is literally on the line—“ “I didn’t know he was THAT young. Defend me a little here.” “Defend? You could be tagged as a cougar, or worse, serve time. This can never get out.” I held my forehead. “I know, I kn

MALACHAR I had been hunting the Alpha of the Trydon pack for two years. And I was miraculously supposed to bring this war to a close in six months, before the next blood moon. Crisp night wind rattled through the balcony of Club Obsidian, one of the many ventures under my control. I watched the vibrant city lights and bustling streets ahead, musing. Alphas were the hardest werewolves to kill. When a wolf ascended their pack’s throne, a Sigil of Authority was bestowed upon them. That Sigil prevented us from being killed by silver and other known vulnerabilities, save for death by natural causes. But once it was destroyed, immunity would cease to exist. Until a few weeks ago, I didn’t know what the Trydon pack Alpha’s Sigil was because its form varied for every crowned wolf. The day I discovered what it was, I realized this war was only just beginning. My phone rang. “What?” I snapped. “Mal,” an old man croaked on the other end of the line. I didn’t h

RAE I stepped back, barely breathing. I knew he was here. I knew coming up here was a bad idea. “You’re beginning to get on my nerves, Malachar Kane,” I ground out, and the tips of my fingers burned as they dug into the crested box. “Exactly the outcome I was hoping for.” The corners of his mouth curled smugly. And my heart raced faster. “Seriously, what is the meaning of this?!” I screamed, nerves and anger exploding into my voice. Malachar walked over and I willed my chin higher. I would not cower in the face of a child who was having the time of day toying with me. But he just passed me by, headed for the arrangement of seats behind. I released the deep breath I didn’t know I had been holding. My knees almost sank to the floor in relief. “I saw you and I had the bright idea that family should party together.” My throat narrowed as I whirled on my heels. “Whatever game this is—“ “Don’t you think we should keep each other company?” He threw a leg over his

RAE I used to think I was an unlucky person. That nothing ever went my way. But an otherworldly force had been indeed looking after me. My phone’s screen lit up with Jason’s name. I exhaled sharply, my finger trembling as I tapped the answer button. “Hello,” I whispered behind my palm, eyes glued to the rearview mirror. “Jason. Help. I… I’m being kidnapped.” The creature driving me shrieked again and I jolted. My phone slipped out of my hands, tumbling underneath the driver’s seat. I screwed my eyes shut and a tear slid past my closed lids. Fuck. Jason was still on the line, shouting my name. I figured whatever had kidnapped me didn’t have the ability to hear because when I peeked at it, it was still focused on the road ahead, driving like nothing happened. As I forced myself to take in its amber eyes and fangs, my head tilted in shock. This thing was a werewolf. But it was also death in the flesh. As if there was no soul in that body. When I stopped h

RAE I had been mentally fist-pumping the air since my mate kissed me under the stars. It was perfect. I knew who I wanted now and I could finally put everyone who didn’t believe that someone could love me to shame. Though my sins were plenty. I had done a lot of terrible things to him and I didn’t even know where to start to confess them. I would eventually. But maybe this run-in with death was my karma for trying to covet father and son. The cops surrounded the scene and a tow truck was hauling away the ruined vehicles. After giving our statements and getting tested for DUI, the paramedics dressed my wounds in the back of their ambulance. They advised me to get my head injury checked out at a hospital to rule out a concussion. Jason cut in then. Our ride was here. He assured the paramedic nurse that I would be properly taken care of. He was my husband and legally my next of kin so none of them protested letting me go. Besides, the chances of me getting a con
