All Chapters of In love with my Ex’s Rival:The Ice Hockey Rival: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Elena's POVI had taken my Statistics exam at nine a.m., and now at two p.m., I was standing in the middle of a campus parking lot trying not to panic while construction crew people handled our booth pieces like they were disposable."Careful with that," I said, probably for the third time, and then looked at Dante. "Can they be more careful?""They're professionals," Dante said calmly. "They handle these all the time.""Yes, but this is not all the time," I said. "This is our one time, and if the backing gets damaged, the whole visual concept falls apart."Dante smiled. "Elena. It's going to be fine. Look at what we built."I looked.The environmental club booth was objectively stunning. We had created a gradient color scheme that moved from deep forest green at the base to bright spring green at the top, representing environmental growth and renewal. The layout was intuitive…..information about sustainability at eye level, interactive elements below, beautiful imagery above. Every e

Tamara's POVI didn't tell anyone I was going to visit Mara in prison.I sat in the car for twenty minutes before actually going in, trying to articulate to myself why I was doing this. I wasn't looking for an apology….I had moved past needing that. I wasn't looking to forgive her….I wasn't sure forgiveness was even the right framework for what had happened. I was just... curious. And maybe I needed to understand.The Council had informed me months ago that Mara was in facility custody awaiting trial, but I hadn't thought about her much since then. I had been too busy with training, with designing the program, with building my own life. Mara had become background noise, someone from a previous version of my story.Until I started the Eclipse Wolf program and realized that understanding people…..really understanding them was part of the responsibility I had taken on.So I went.The facility was sterile and professional. I went through the security screening and was led to a visitation

Lucas's POVThe bookstore was closing for the day when my phone rang.I recognized the number immediately. My father. The first time he'd called in four months.I let it ring. Finished counting the register, shelved the last stack of returns and then locked the front door. I sat in the back office and called him back because ignoring him would just mean more calls, more pressure, more interruptions."About damn time," he said when he picked up. Not a greeting. Just aggression."Hi, Dad," I said carefully."We need to talk about you coming home.""I am home," I said. "I'm in Portland. I'm working. I'm…""You're abandoning your pack," he cut me off. "Abandoning your family. And now they're falling apart because of it."I closed my eyes. Counted to three. Dr. Patricia's voice in my head…. “You can't control his reaction. You can only control your response.”"What's happening?" I asked, keeping my voice level."Challenges," he said. "Other packs circling. We need an alpha who can hold th

Garrett's POV I called the emergency pack meeting at midnight. Every wolf from eighteen to sixty showed up at the main hall…..which told me they already knew something was wrong. Word travels fast through the supernatural community, and by evening, everyone had heard about Ashford Pack being attacked. I stood at the front of the room, and instead of waiting for panic to start, I just told them the truth. "Ashford Pack territory was attacked last night," I said. "Three injured, one seriously. The Council is calling it a coordinated strike by a group calling themselves the Sovereignty Movement. They're opposing confederation." The room erupted with questions. I let them talk for five minutes, then raised my voice. "We have two choices," I said. "We can either isolate ourselves and hope they don't target us next. Or we can form a formal defense alliance with Ashford and show every other pack watching that unity actually works." "That means we're at war," someone said from the back

Elena's POVAfter Tamara left, I sat on that bench for another twenty minutes.I thought about everything she was carrying. About how exhausted she looked. About how she was running on determination and I thought about how I could actually help.I called Dante."Hey," he said, answering on the second ring like he'd been waiting. "What's up?""I need to design something," I said. "Something important. Can you meet me at the studio?"Three hours later, we were spread across the design tables with sketches everywhere."So you want to create a unified symbol," Dante said, studying the rough sketches I'd brought. "Something that represents all the packs coming together?""Not just a symbol," I said. "A complete visual identity. Something that makes the confederation real and tangible. Right now it's abstract packs meeting, agreeing, coordinating but if every pack wore the same symbol, used the same materials... that makes it visible. That makes it mean something."Dante looked at me, and I
