All Chapters of My Ex Framed Me, So I Dated His Rival: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Ivy.The air in the locker room felt too thick to breathe.Noah stood in the doorway like he had all the time in the world.Tyler’s growl was still rolling in his chest. It was low and constant. I hated when he did that because it only meant that his wolf was done playing nice.My heart hammered so hard that I could feel it in my throat.The bond between us was buzzing, ready to snap into two.“Get out,” Tyler said, and his voice had dropped. “Right now.”But Noah didn’t move.He just looked at me and was as calm as anything.“I’m talking to Ivy. She is allowed to answer a question, or do you now control her?”“She’s not answering shit from you,” Tyler responded as he took one step forward.His eyes were back, brighter than they had been even when he had that other player against the lockers.“You sent crazy pictures. You pushed at the bond. You showed up at my building. Now you are standing here after I almost lost my career over another male’s hands on her. You’re done.”I moved bef

Tyler. “Fuck, it's morning again,” I cursed under my breath because I didn't want to wake up. My phone had seventeen missed calls and twice as many messages. Again. League officials, my coach, two teammates, and members of my pack were all on me.  Like I had committed murder. I sat on the edge of the bed with my head in my hands while Ivy slept behind me. Her breathing was still uneven from the night. My mind wouldn't stop drifting to what Noah was planning this time. Still, I could not accept the challenge. I wasn't a weakling, but I wasn't stupid either.  I knew how things went. It would backfire. “Tyler?” Ivy asked. She was staring at me. “Yeah.” “How bad is it?” she asked, and I handed her my phone without a wo

Tyler.The pack hall smelled terrible.It smelled like a mixture of sweat and bodily scents because there were too many wolves in one space.Ivy walked beside me with her shoulders tight and her chin up, but I could feel the fear rolling off her through the bond.I wished we could skip this, but sadly, we had to do it.The highest-ranking elder stood at the front with two other elders. Noah was already there, leaning against the far wall like he had been invited to a show.A few other pack members filled the benches because the word had spread. News about unstable bonds always drew an audience.The highest-ranking elder didn't waste time before speaking.“The foreign claim holder will make one controlled contact with the unfinished thread,” he said. “We will observe the mate bond’s response. If it holds, you leave together. If it fractures further, the temporary separation begins tonight.”Ivy’s hand found mine, and her palm was damp.Noah stepped into the center of the room with his

Ivy. Tyler suddenly disappeared again from the hockey game. Anytime he did that, I always lost my mind. I started searching for him and somehow, I found him in the cemetery. I froze the moment I saw the name on the headstone, and my mouth went dry. MASON JADE! I knew everything about the accident. I knew about the second he looked down at his phone and his relationship with Tyler. At least to the extent Tyler narrated the ordeal to me. He had told me the facts months ago in that flat, locked-down way he used for anything that cut too close. I knew the story. What I had never seen was this. Tyler sat in the dirt in front of the grave like someone had cut the strings holding him up. His shoulders shook vehemently, and his hands were buried in his hair.

Ivy.“You are not supposed to be here,” Tyler said to Van, and his voice was low because of everything that had been happening.Van leaned a shoulder against the wall like he had all the time in the world. The walking boot was gone, and he looked healthy.I hated seeing him even though his face was pleasant to look at. He was handsome but quite wicked.“Visiting hours are flexible when you know the right people. And I know a lot of the right people lately. Why do you suddenly feel attacked?” Van said, and I felt Tyler’s wolf rise through the bond.His hand found my wrist without looking, and his fingers wrapped tight around my arm like he needed the contact to stay human.“Say what you came to say and leave,” Tyler told him, and there was no smile on his face.Van’s gaze flicked to me, then back to Tyler.“Noah has been busy. So have I. Your brother’s file was not the only thing that got updated. There is a formal dominance challenge sitting with the regional board right now. It will
