"Ethan Carter rejects lots of she-wolves, but none of them try to hop off a roof like this. She must have a broken brain, right?""Who knows what alpha wolves do in secret? I just think she looks sad, and I feel bad for her wolf now!""There is a saying that crazy people do mean things. If I wanted to end my life, I wouldn't do it at a hockey team's office. Everyone is inside working right now! Does she have no pack manners?!"While the crowd chatters, the fire trucks speed to the ice rink. The firemen jump out of the trucks and get their safety nets ready.Up on the roof, Chloe Bennett makes a scary face and looks down at the little wolves below."It's done... everything is done..." she whispers to herself.Then, she takes a big leap and jumps off the roof!Over at the clinic, I have JESS inside for his checkup. While we wait for the results, JESS falls asleep in my arms. I send a text to Job and tell him to meet me at the clinic. Then, I look up at the big TV on the wall in the wait

When I walked out of the team locker room and heard what Patricia Bennett said, my back broke into a cold sweat! The DNA test results for Ethan Carter and Mason Carter were out.I had received a text notification on my phone earlier. I did not expect the medical center to mail the physical test results directly to our pack house."Is that package meant for me, Patricia?"I strode over nonchalantly, taking the heavy envelope right out of Patricia Bennett's hand. I could feel the intense, curious eyes of Patricia and Ethan Carter locked onto me, knowing the delivery bore the official stamp of the Kingdom of Valeria Paternity Test Center.Anyone would naturally wonder if I had secretly submitted samples to a genetic lab.Ethan Carter rose from the bench, his massive alpha frame closing the distance between us."I had this lab run a genetic analysis on one of my roster players," I lied smoothly, forcing my voice to stay level. "He has a very rare bloodline anomaly... It's complicated. Bes

His response was absolute and uncompromising. Ethan Carter could never accept that he wasn't the legitimate heir of the Carter bloodline. If the truth came out, I knew I would have to guard this secret with my life for him."Ethan, I was only joking with you," I said, offering a soft smile to break the heavy tension lingering in the air."I think your joke was surprisingly interesting," he replied, going along with my cover-up, though his dark eyes remained serious. "Let me explain why I could never accept a theory like that."Since he wanted to analyze it, my heart beat fast as I prepared to listen."Everything I have achieved, I built with my own hands, piece by piece," Ethan said, his voice deep and commandingly smooth. "My status in the league, my wealth, my pack standing, you, and our pups. Everything. If my blood isn't what people think it is, it changes nothing. I would simply stop caring about the Carter title. But if I weren't who I am, I would have lost my edge long ago. Whe

The signal radius Lucas mapped out covered a dense cluster of private properties bordering the lower access road. Trying to search every cabin down there would be like searching for a lost puck in a snowstorm.Furthermore, a sudden, chilling realization hit me.When Charles Whitaker and his faction moved into Mysticfall, they deliberately purchased land right at the base of Ethan's mountain territory. That couldn't possibly be a coincidence.It seemed I desperately needed to find an opportunity to confront Charles Whitaker face-to-face.At dusk, after a quiet dinner at Starry River Villa, I took JESS out for a breath of fresh air around the gated neighborhood.I pushed baby Robert's heavy winter stroller while JESS walked beside me, his small hand holding onto my arm. As we walked along the paved, snow-dusted trail, JESS rambled about his day back at the academy."Papa, we didn't do heavy ice drills today. We mostly talked to the team counselor," JESS explained. "Regular practices don

"If my Robert said 'Papa' today, I'm sure Ethan will be here right now, no matter how busy he is.""Haha, that's true."I don't expect my little boy to have such a sharp sense of humor at such a tender age.Ethan and Charles Whitaker sit directly opposite each other in the private VIP lounge of the rink. The heavily armed Silvercrest bodyguards have been posted outside the soundproof doors. Ethan's wolf craves answers; he demands to know the exact lie these rogues have fabricated regarding his bloodline and his true origins."You do know that DNA testing exists in our world, right?" Ethan growls, his icy, predator eyes pinning both men to their leather chairs. He doesn't see a single trace of himself in Charles's weathered, scheming face.How could this pathetic rogue ever claim to share my blood? he thinks.As for Ethan and Peter Whitaker, there is not even a faint whisper of resemblance.Charles stifles a bitter, raspy laugh. "Even if I were completely uneducated, I would still unde

Ethan holds the phone tightly, his knuckles turning white. His eyes remain frozen like glacial ice. "I'm here, Collins. I just ran into a few old hockey colleagues I haven't seen in years. I was in a good mood, so I had a few extra drinks.""Oh... you gave Miss Yachina a terrible scare," I reply softly. "You know your body doesn't handle heavy liquor well after intense training. Try to avoid drinking like that next time. Do you want me to drive over to your estate? The pups are fast asleep. I can be there in twenty minutes.""There's no need," Ethan answers instantly, rejecting the offer before he can even think.He needs to be alone. He cannot risk me looking into his eyes and seeing the terrifying doubt consuming him.The past thirty years of his existence feel like a massive, constructed lie. He still struggles to wrap his head around the fact that Margaret Carter engineered this entire fraud. Yet, he remembers the fierce protection she always provided him, steering him through the
