All Chapters of The Hockey Alpha's Rejection : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO POV: Reign I walked into my third-floor administrative office at eight o'clock in the morning carrying a paper cup of warm coffee in my hand, ready to review our team's financial reports for the upcoming exhibition match, but the moment I stepped behind my desk, my eyes caught two subtle details that immediately set off alarm bells inside my head. The main top drawer of my desk was sitting slightly open by half an inch, and when I looked over at the bottom shelf of the storage closet, the heavy binders in front of my velvet case had been shifted two inches to the left, showing that someone had been moving items around inside my room while the building was closed. I set my coffee cup down on the table, my face turning stone cold as I reached into my pocket to grab my mobile phone, intending to call the head of building security to demand the camera footage from the hallway, but before my fingers could tap the screen, my office door swung wide open without a single

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR POV: Reign I stepped quickly away from my desk, walking over to my private office door, turning the metal lock until it clicked securely, and shutting the blinds over the window glass so no staff member or passerby in the administrative hallway could hear or see what we were doing inside. Raina remained standing near the table, her hands resting flat on the wooden surface while staring at the two matching silver pendants lying side by side, her breathing coming in fast, shallow breaths as the massive revelation hung heavily between us. I walked back to my desk, unlocking the bottom drawer to pull out my private leather file, carrying it over to the center of the table where I laid out my official birth record papers, the old newspaper clippings from twenty years ago, and my personal family documentation right beside her own adoptive records. "We need to go through every single piece of paper we have right now, Raina," I said, sitting down in my chair while gestu

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX POV: Mira I sat behind the steering wheel of my red sedan parked right across the street from the city administrative building at two o'clock in the afternoon, wearing black sunglasses while sipping a cold coffee, keeping my eyes glued to the glass front entrance of the facility. Earlier that morning at precisely eight o'clock, I had walked straight into the sports league headquarters, personally delivering the envelope containing our forged financial papers directly to the lead league auditor's desk, ensuring that an emergency investigation into Raina’s team was triggered immediately before the big exhibition match scheduled for tomorrow. I watched with pure excitement as a black league sedan pulled up to the curb right in front of Reign’s building, and three men in suits stepped out of the vehicle, led by the strict lead auditor himself along with two uniformed security guards carrying official legal folders in their hands. The three men walked briskly up the c

CHAPTER TWENTYEIGHT POV: Damon I walked into the main conference room of the sports league board at ten o'clock sharp the next morning, taking my seat near the side wall while watching the five senior board directors file into the room and sit behind the long table facing the audience. On the left side of the room, my father, Alpha Marcus, sat looking extremely proud and confident in his dark suit, with Mira sitting right beside him while holding a paper folder and smiling arrogantly at the crowd. On the right side of the room, Raina sat alongside Reign, looking completely collected as she set her silver laptop on her table and connected a small cord to the main projector unit mounted against the back wall. The lead league auditor stepped up to his seat at the center table, tapping his wooden pen against his pad to bring the loud room to total order, before looking around at everyone assembled for the hearing. "We are here today to resolve the emergency audit regarding the city fr

CHAPTER THIRTY POV: Reign I laced up my skates tightly while sitting on the long bench inside our private team locker room at seven o'clock in the evening, listening to the loud, roaring cheers of thousands of pack members filling the arena stands right outside our hallway. After yesterday's victory at the sports league audit hearing, where Damon provided the security video that exposed Mira and cleared our franchise, our team was completely legal, approved, and ready to take the ice against Alpha Marcus's squad in this high-stakes exhibition game. I stood up, adjusting my team jersey over my protective chest pads, before turning around to address the rest of the players sitting in the room. "Listen up, everyone," I said, keeping my voice firm, calm, and steady while looking each player straight in the eyes, "Marcus and his coaches are extremely angry after losing yesterday's board hearing, so they are going to play as dirty as possible tonight to hurt us on the ice." "We aren't
