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

Chapter TwoUnexpected RoommatesAria’s POV I spent the afternoon exploring campus, letting the map guide me through buildings. 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 scoreboard that probably cost as much as the bus I'd arrived on. Everything here actually belongs to the wealthy, and I was certain I wouldn’t have been able to pay the bus fare if not for the scholarship.Well, not until my life was ruined and my pack brought to crumbles. I took a deep breath. I didn’t want to think of all that right now. I’m here to make a name for myself. I should focus on doing that first. I stood in the center of the empty court, sneakers squeaking against the polished floor, and let myself believe it. Maybe this place real

Chapter FourThe Silver NameLuca's POV Aria.For someone I'd only known for a week, she occupied far too much space in my head.My wolf had been unusually restless ever since she became my roommate. Every time she walked into the room, it reacted in a way I couldn't explain.She's annoying, I told myself.She was nothing more than an annoying roommate.I pushed the thought aside and reached for my phone. Serena’s picture lit up on the screen on my phone. Serena is my girlfriend, and we’ve been dating since the day we both stepped into the academy. Everyone knows about our relationship, including my parents and members of my pack. She’s the head of cheerleading and also on the swimming team. Our relationship was perfect to everyone, but there was more to it. I grabbed my training bag and headed for Serena’s class. I need to have a conversation with her about the tiny rumors I’ve been hearing about her and the basketball team leader, Jason. I pushed the door to the locker room, hold

Chapter 6 - The bulliesAria’s POV Girlfriend.The word alone made me want to throw a pillow at the wall.Me?Luca Silver's girlfriend.Fake or not, the thought sounded completely ridiculous.I dropped onto the bed and let the mattress take all of me. The springs groaned like they were tired too. I let out a loud sigh of relief. For once, nothing was on fire. Mylo was back in treatment. Appointments had been booked, with the best doctors treating him and the right medication. And I won’t have to worry about Mother's rent as well. I should’ve felt relieved. I did, for about ten minutes. Then my brain caught up. I’m now Luca’s girlfriend. Saying it in my head still sounded wrong. I was used to fighting with him over who gets into the shower first, about workout routines, and even up to something little like using the paste. I was used to him stealing my cereals and me pretending I didn’t notice. I wasn’t used to this label as his girlfriend. I didn’t know what a girlfriend was suppos

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
