The hockey world was small and memories were long and it took less than an hour for someone to connect the dots publicly. My phone buzzed, it was Patricia. "Elena." Her voice was strained. "I just saw the news. Please tell me you know what you are doing." "I know what I am doing," I said. "Alexander St. James." She paused. "Damien's biggest rival." "I know who he is, Patricia."

Zed asked "Yes we met" answered Mya "Okay, now that the question is settled, let's talk about the debate" said Frédéric. "You know if the results send us all to the final it's going to be your party girls we're not going to give you presents." “Oh we neither huh” said Vania. "Zed my darling if fate makes you and me opponents in the final forgive me for the beating I'm going to give you in front of the public." "Oh no if we ever find ourselves in the final my darling Vania, excuse me for the slap I'm going to slap you because the trophy is ours" replied Zed

he grumbled. The competition began, and family after family was eliminated. To everyone's surprise, both our teams—Lucian with Ethan and Julian with Leo—kept advancing. Soon, we were the only ones left. "And now we have our final competitors!" the pack teacher announced. "This has become quite the family rivalry!" "The dominant Alpha moves to the northern territory," Ethan called out. Almost simultaneously, Leo shouted, "No, eastern territory first, then sweep north!"

The words were more devastating than any punch. They severed a decade of friendship, shared struggles, building an empire. But I didn't back down. I held his gaze.

I say to them “After what you did to my friend, I don’t think I believe you.” Jace says unclenching his fingers and flexing it. “They’re rivals, they’ve been since they were little and the only reason is because of hockey, I would gouge my eyes out before I witness Aidan fighting with Sylas because of YOU.” I am about to speak when someone walks into the cafe.

“Get up!” But anyone could see that the fight was over. There was no way in hell that Jun was beating Raleigh, not with that broken arm at least. “Gio was my friend, you fucker,” Raleigh practically spit at the fallen, Jun.
