All Chapters of Faking It With My Hockey Alpha For 90 Days : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Chapter Two Unexpected Roommates Aria’s POV I spent the afternoon trying very hard not to think about Luca Silver. It wasn't working. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt the strange heat that had shot through me when his fingers touched mine. Worse, my wolf had been restless ever since, pacing beneath my skin like she was searching for something. Something. Or someone. I didn't know what was happening to me, and I wasn't about to let one arrogant hockey player ruin my first day at North Ridge. So I did what I always did when something scared me. I focused on the things I could control. I grabbed my map and spent the afternoon familiarizing myself with the academy…The wrestling arena smelled like leather and disinfectant, with mats rolled out in perfect rows. The hockey stadium was massive, ice gleaming under fluorescent lights, boards scuffed with years of collisions. The swimming complex had Olympic-sized pools with lanes marked in racing colors. The basketball court had a

Chapter Four The Silver Name Luca's POV Aria. For someone I'd only known for a week, Aria Blackwood occupied far too much space in my head. My wolf had been restless ever since she became my roommate. Every time she walked into the room, something inside me woke up, alert and demanding, as if it recognized something my human side couldn't. I didn't understand it. And I didn't like it. Aria was annoying, stubborn, infuriatingly fearless—and completely off-limits. At least, that's what I kept telling myself. I pushed the thought aside and reached for my phone. Serena’s picture lit up on the screen on my phone. Serena was my girlfriend. We'd been together since our first year at North Ridge, and everyone knew about us—our friends, our classmates, my parents, even members of my pack. To everyone else, we were perfect. We weren't. There had always been something beneath the surface, something I had chosen to ignore because pretending everything was fine was easier than admittin

Chapter 6 - The bullies Aria’s POV Girlfriend. The word alone made me want to throw a pillow at the wall. Me? Luca Silver's girlfriend. Fake or not, it sounded completely ridiculous. I dropped onto my bed and stared at the ceiling. For the first time in days, nothing was immediately falling apart. Mylo was back in treatment. His appointments were booked, the best doctors were handling his case, and the right medication had finally been arranged. Mother's rent was covered too. I should have been relieved. I was. For about ten minutes. Then my brain reminded me of the other problem. Luca. Apparently, I was now his girlfriend. I was used to fighting with him over the shower, arguing about workout routines, stealing back my cereal after he helped himself, and threatening to break his nose whenever he annoyed me. I wasn't used to pretending he was my boyfriend. What exactly did a fake girlfriend do? Text him good morning? Hold his hand in public? Smile at him like I actua

Chapter 8 - Burning chemistryLuca’s POVI stared into her eyes. I want the only one who felt the bond. I knew she did as well. I had seen it in her eyes. She stared at me in fear as my thumb ran over her wrist, strengthening the bond. I want to even hear whatever the photographer was saying. I just wanted to remain in this position with her until I understand what is going on. Just then Marcus stepped between us, breaking the contact. The severance felt like a physical blow. I staggered back, my hand pressed to my chest, gasping. Aria made a sound like she had been punched, doubling over, one hand braced on her knee."What the hell was that?" Marcus demanded, but he was looking at me, not Aria. "Luca, what happened?""Nothing," I said, voice rough. She was nervous, and I was frustrated. It was just bad chemistry.""That wasn't bad chemistry," Marcus said quietly, only for my ears. He turned to face Aria. "You should get some rest. We’ll continue taking pictures in the next five minut

Chapter 10 - The Silence AfterAria's POVThe door to the room clicked shut with a finality that echoed in my chest. Luca dropped the bag of food on my desk without a word. The same impersonal meal he'd grabbed from the cafeteria after kissing me like the world was ending. After letting every student with a phone camera witness something that had felt devastatingly, terrifyingly real."Eat," he said. I didn't move from where I stood by the window, arms wrapped around myself like armor. "You kissed me.""You kissed me back, so it shouldn’t be a big deal.” He said that everything that happened back at the cafeteria was nothing."Not a big deal? Do you understand what you did actually?” Luca finally looked at me. Whatever softness had been in his eyes back in the cafeteria had disappeared behind a wall of ice."Don't confuse the performance with reality, Aria," he said quietly. "The kiss happened because it had to happen. Nothing more. Nothing less. If we're going to survive these nine
