Hate to love you: The star's forbidden obsession
There are only three things Zayden Mercer cares about:
Winning.
Protecting his younger brother.
And never letting anyone discover what he really is.
As captain of the Arctic Wolves, Zayden has built himself into UCLA’s perfect hockey prince. Disciplined. Untouchable. Admired.
A lie held together by pressure, fear, and self-control.
Then there’s Ronan Devereaux.
The Northstars captain is everything Zayden despises—arrogant, beautiful, filthy rich, and born an S-class alpha without even trying. Wherever Ronan goes, attention follows. Omegas fall at his feet. Coaches worship him.
And worst of all?
Ronan enjoys breaking Zayden apart.
When Ronan discovers Zayden’s twisted secret obsession, their rivalry turns into something darker. More intimate. More dangerous.
Because Ronan doesn’t expose him, he keeps him.
What starts as blackmail spirals into a brutal game of control, humiliation, obsession, and desire neither of them can escape.
And somewhere between the fights, the blood, and the lies, Zayden realizes the person ruining his life may also be the only one who truly sees him.
