NARRATOR'S POVMikka could not stop replaying what had happened after practice. Even after she had showered, changed clothes and tried to finish the work waiting on her laptop, her mind kept taking her back to the parking lot. She remembered the stranger moving toward her, the sudden fear that had frozen her feet and then Seven appearing between them so quickly that she had barely understood what was happening. She remembered the sound of the man hitting the side of the car, the way Seven had caught his wrist and the unbelievable strength in his hands. But more than anything, she remembered Seven's face afterward, because there had been something in his eyes that frightened her more than the stranger had.It had not looked like simple anger. Mikka knew what anger looked like, and she had seen Seven angry before, especially when it came to Levi and everything that had happened between them, but this had been different. There had been something wild in his expression, something that see

MIKKAI noticed the difference in Seven the moment we started seeing each other again after everything that had happened. He was still the same person on the outside, still showing up for practice, still skating hard and doing everything the coaches asked of him, but the Seven I knew seemed to be hiding somewhere behind his eyes. He talked lesser than usual now, and whenever practice ended, he no longer stayed around me for those small moments when we would talk about hockey, joke about the coaches, or simply stand together without saying much. Even when he was beside me, I often felt like his mind was somewhere far away, fighting a battle I could not see."Are you okay?" I asked him one afternoon as we walked out of the rink.He kept his eyes ahead and gave me the answer I had already heard too many times."I'm fine."I looked at him for a few seconds, watching the way his jaw tightened as though even those two words had taken effort. I knew he was lying, but I also remembered what w

SEVENI slowly opened my eyes, but for several seconds, I could not understand where I was. The ceiling above me looked strange, and my body felt so heavy that even breathing seemed like hard work, while a deep soreness ran through every part of me as if I had spent the night fighting something I could not see. My shirt was torn around the shoulder, my pants had small tears near the knees, and when I tried to move, pain pulled through my muscles. I pushed myself up anyway, but a hand quickly pressed against my chest."Stay down, Seven."I turned my head and saw my mother standing beside me, her face pale and worried. Then I looked farther across the room and saw Mikka sitting in a chair, her hands tightly held together and her eyes fixed on me. The moment our eyes met, memories came rushing back so fast that my head began to hurt, and suddenly I remembered the equipment room, Mikka's frightened face, the pain tearing through my body, the shaking, and that strange golden light filling

SEVENI could not take my eyes off the stranger after he called me Alpha. The word kept turning over in my mind, strange and heavy, even though I had never heard anyone call me that before. Somehow, it felt familiar, like a name I had forgotten long ago, and that scared me more than I wanted to admit. I stepped closer to the gate, ignoring the way Mikka moved behind me."Who are you, and why did you come here looking for me?"The stranger looked at me calmly."My name is Erik. I am a wolf from one of the territories that once stood with your father's pack."I frowned."How did you find me?""I didn't."He paused."Your awakening made me find you.”I clenched my jaw because I was tired of hearing words that made no sense. Only hours ago, I had believed my biggest problems were hockey, my career, and figuring out what was happening to my body, but now I was standing outside my home listening to a stranger tell me that I was a werewolf and an heir. None of it felt real, yet the gold flas

SEVENI stared at the strange mark on Mikka's palm, unable to take my eyes away from it. The faint light beneath her skin seemed to pulse with every beat of my heart, and something deep inside me reacted each time it happened. My chest tightened, my senses sharpened, and before I could control myself, my eyes flashed gold again. My mother noticed immediately, and the worried look on her face made me realize that she understood what was happening even though I did not."Mom, can you please tell us what this is?"She carefully took Mikka's hand once again without touching the glowing part."I know what it means."Mikka looked frightened."Then tell us."Mom looked between us before slowly letting go of Mikka's hand."This signifies the beginning of your mate bond."The words hit me harder than I expected. I looked at Mikka, and suddenly the stranger's warning came rushing back to me, making everything feel even more real. A mate was supposed to be someone connected to a wolf through a p
