Rovak kept staring at the address he had written on a piece of paper.He stared at it, the first day, the second day and now the third day.He kept asking himself if he should go.

We don't expect your room to be tidy especially with that leg of yours" Luna Eve told him.She went inside the room while Tanner held his breath, expecting to hear her yell but he heard nothing.Using his crutches, he waddled into his room, but he couldn't see Rovak, had he disappeared?Alpha Vergara followed him into the room and looked around."Your room is so tidy Tanner, why were you afraid?" Alpha Vergara asked."Oh, you know your son, he always wants to be perfect" Luna Eve said with a laugh."Yes, my perfect son, I am so proud of you, you know that" Alpha Vergara patted him on his shoulder."Thanks dad""This is why I want you to be wary of that Perez kid""Rovak?"

"I can't wait to see how Alpha Perez wants to outdo me. I have been hosting the hunt for years" Alpha Vergara said as they entered Crescent moon pack."Honey, we aren't here for trouble" Luna Eve told him.Tanner looked around, hoping to get a glimpse of Rovak. Since that day at his apartment, he hadn't seen Rovak. It was like he vanished into thin air.He didn't even go to the Escalade anymore. Gossip around hockey players was that he wasn't even coming out of his dorm. Some said he had a gambling problem, because why else would he still be staying in a dorm despite his huge bonuses. Only rookies stayed in dorms."Let's just get this over with" Alpha Vergara groaned."Honey let's just be peaceful, Alpha Perez is coming over" Luna Eve whispered.Tanner looked ahead to see Alpha Perez approaching them, accompanied by River and Rovak."Welcome to our pack, we hope to give you a even better experience this hunt" Alpha Perez said."We anticipate your hospitality" Luna Eve said with a gent

Tanner watched as Rovak walked away, he wanted to go after him but what would he even say.He went back into the healing center and sat close to Caleb."How are you feeling?" he asked the young boy."I am fine, thank you for your help" the boy said softly.Tanner laughed softly, "Tell me about school, do you play any sports?" he asked.The boy perked up, "I play hockey""Really, I play hockey too""I know, you and Rovak are my role models""We are?" Tanner asked in amusement."Yes, you two show that I can leave this pack and become a star player. Once I leave, I will never come back""Never come back?" Tanner asked."My parents are dead, they died in a rogue attack. My uncle and aunt barely tolerate me. The only person I liked was Lucien and now that is....""I understand" Tanner told him softly."I feel like such a fool""Because you wrote him the letter?" Tanner asked."Because I thought he felt the same but he was just being himself and I was the stupid one who thought more about i

Tanner leaned in and kissed him back. He held on to him as their tongues dueled with each other.Rovak pulled away.He looked at Tanner and smiled."Why are you smiling?" Tanner asked."you should see how you look" Rovak teased."How do I look?" Tanner asked."Like you are obsessed and you want more"Tanner nodded quickly, "I do, I am obsessed with you and I want more" he replied.Rovak shook his head, "You are such a puppy"He put his palm under Tanner's jaw, Tanner immediately placed his chin on Rovak's palm."I am your puppy" he replied.Rovak laughed, Tanner watched him entranced, he realized he had never seen Rovak laugh before. He wanted to capture this moment forever.Rovak got out of the river and lay on the grass, Tanner followed him and lay beside him."Ro... Are you going to run again?" Tanner asked. Rovak glanced at him and ran his fingers through his hair."You realize there is no future for us right?" he asked Tanner. "Ro...""No, you have to face the truth. We have no

Frank was at Escalade having a drink."Shouldn't you be in bed already?" a voice asked.He turned around to see Pete."And why would I be in bed so early?" Frank asked as Pete sat beside him."Because you are an old man" Pete retorted."You know it's about time, Y'all stopped with the joke about me being old, I am just thirty three" Frank said with mock annoyance."oooh what is that?" Pete asked, leaning closer.Frank's breath caught in his throat as Pete leaned in closer, his strawberry perfume tingling his nose, goddess, he smelled good."What?" he asked in a breathless voice."It's a gray hair" Pete replied, leaning back, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes."fuck you" Frank told him.Pete raised his leg, brushing against Frank's leg."Do you have the energy for that old man?" Pete asked.Frank looked at Pete's eyes, at the heat there and he knew what Pete wanted."Why not you try and see?" he fired back.Pete stretched and stood up, "I have to go to the restroom" he said and walked

"Hey kid, come over" Frank beckoned to Rovak as soon as he entered Escalade with Liam."Come on, let's go" Rovak told Liam, as he led him over to Frank's table."What brought Rovak out of his cave tonight?" Frank asked."I did" Liam piped up."Good job kid" Frank praised him."We were selected to join the national team so we came out to celebrate" Liam informed him."Good for you boys, I guess we will all be in one team" Frank told him."I didn't know old men could join the national team" Rovak said with a cheeky smile.Frank hit his head, "I am not that old. I am just thirty three""That's old" Liam said in mock horror.They burst into laughter while Frank looked annoyed.He noticed new guests coming into Escalade and perked up."Hey Tanner, over here kid" he beckoned.He watched in satisfaction as the smile on Rovak's face dried up."Should we all be drinking together? What about Tanner and Rovak?" Liam asked in a loud whisper."They will be teammates soon, they have to get along" F

The security's eyes widened when he saw Rovak and Tanner together. "You..." he trailed off, unsure of what to say. "I am sure you will be discreet" Tanner told him. "Yes, yes, I understand sir" the security nodded. Tanner led Rovak to the elevator. "I feel like a dirty mistress" Rovak told him. Tanner laughed, his smile dried up when Rovak unbuttoned the first button on his shirt. "I don't think you can handle me Tanner" Rovak murmured. "I...I...I" The elevator stopped and Rovak led the way to Tanner's room. As soon as they were in the room and the door was locked, he pinned Tanner against the door and kissed him. He pulled off his shirt and kissed his neck and chest. "I really just wanted us to talk" Tanner said breathless. "I don't want to talk Tanner" Rovak told him as he unbuttoned his shirt. Tanner groaned and pulled Rovak closer to him kissing him hard, his hands went down to take off his trousers. "Tan, I have thought about this all night" Rovak whispered.

Liam bounced in excitement on the car seat next to Rovak. They had just left the private jet and were on their way to the training grounds. "When I told my mom I was selected to join the team, she was so happy, she told everyone in our neighborhood" Rovak thought about his own father, Alpha Perez had simply grunted when he was told and told him to make sure he beat Vergara's kid. When Rovak had pointed out that they were on the same team, his father had simply asked the use of this information and hung up. They arrived at the training center and Liam, Rovak and Jeff joined the rest national players. Rovak caught Tanner's eyes. Tanner gave him a wink and Rovak smiled back. The national coaches stood in front of the players. "welcome to the national team, I know most of you are from Rival teams but for now, I want you to forget about all of that, right now you are teammates. Now I want you to go round, shake hands and introduce yourself" the coach instructed. The players went rou

Tanner looked at the door in confusion, what was wrong with Rovak. Why was he having a nightmare?He lay back on the bed and looked up thoughtfully.What had happened to Rovak? Why did he sound so scared having the nightmare? Had anyone ever hurt him in the past before?Should he let Rovak go off to blow off some steam or go after him and force him to talk.What if Rovak shut down around him again?His phone buzzed with a text, it was from Frank.♠️ Frank: Hey, where are you?Tan🌗 🏒: in my room♠️ Frank: come out to the swimming pool, we are all hanging out there Tanner looked around the room, he couldn't just stay indoors waiting for Rovak to come back anyway. Tan🌗 🏒: I am coming ♠️ Frank: okay, I will see you. Tanner got up and dressed up, he left his room and went to the poolside. Rovak was at a corner, he was drinking out of a flask, Tanner could tell he was drinking Wolfgang. He debated whether to ignore him or go sit by him. "Tanner!" Frank called him over. Tanner we
