All Chapters of The Hockey Alpha's Rejection : Chapter 41 - Chapter 48

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO POV: Damon I stood near the entrance of the main dining room inside my father's mansion at seven o'clock on Tuesday evening, adjusting the cuffs of my suit jacket while staring at the long table set for twenty high-ranking pack members and elders who had gathered for a mandatory pack dinner. My father had sent two guards to my apartment earlier in the afternoon to make sure I showed up in proper clothes, and as I watched the guests talking and sipping their drinks around the room, my wolf was pacing angrily inside my chest because I knew my father was setting up another public trap for me. The heavy double doors of the dining room opened, and my father walked in alongside Elder Thomas and a wealthy pack leader named Howard, who was accompanied by his daughter, Chloe, a tall girl wearing a formal red dress with a sharp smile on her face. "Sit down at the head table next to Chloe right now, Damon," my father ordered, stepping up to my side and pointing toward the e

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR POV: Raina I stood behind the wooden podium inside the central pack council hall at ten o'clock on Thursday morning, adjusting the sleeves of my suit jacket while staring up at the five senior pack elders sitting behind a long elevated table at the front of the room. Reign was sitting right behind me in the second row of spectator chairs, holding two thick white folders containing all of our team's financial records, while Beatrice and Arthur sat across the aisle alongside their son Ethan, glaring at me with dark, bitter expressions on their faces. The heavy double doors at the back of the hall clicked shut, and Head Elder Thomas tapped his wooden gavel twice against the table, bringing the entire room to complete silence as he adjusted his glasses to look down at the legal papers spread out in front of him. "We are gathered here today to review the formal character and operational complaint filed against Raina and her sports franchise," Head Elder Thomas anno

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX POV: Ethan I sat at the small table in the corner of my father's private office at ten o'clock on Friday morning, tapping my pen against my leather pad while watching my father pace back and forth across the rug with a furious expression on his face. The news of the pack council issuing a two-week observation period instead of stripping Raina's franchise license had reached every major house in the territory, and my parents had been arguing non-stop since breakfast about how Head Elder Thomas let Raina walk out of the hall without a single penalty. The double entrance doors opened up, and my mother walked in, slamming a thick stack of newspaper clippings onto the table, her face bright red with anger as she stared directly at my father and me. "Are we just going to sit here in this room and watch that woman run her hockey team for two whole weeks while the council inspector sits in her VIP booth like a honored guest?" my mother asked, her voice sharp and loud as

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT POV: Raina I stood near the glass window of the elevated control booth at eight o'clock on Friday night, keeping my headset adjusted against my ear while looking down at the packed ice rink below where our team was leading three to two in the middle of the second period. The stadium was filled with thousands of cheering fans, and sitting right in the center VIP box was the council inspector, taking notes on his pad, while Reign’s security guards moved quietly through the concourse corridors to secure every exit. Reign had briefed me thoroughly about the covert sting operation late yesterday afternoon after installing hidden cameras in the basement utility room, so even though my heart was beating fast inside my chest, I stayed completely calm and kept my right hand resting flat against the main microphone console, waiting for the signal from the basement. "Raina, do you copy me from the control booth?" Reign's deep voice spoke through my headset earpiece, soundi
