Aurel

The moment my eyes meet his across the club, my chest tightens so fast it almost knocks the air out of me.

Neylan.

For a second, I just stand there, frozen in the middle of everything, the noise of the club still loud around me but somehow not reaching me properly anymore. The lights are flashing, people are moving, music is blasting, but all I can focus on is him sitting there.

Looking straight at me.

Shit.

I turn my head immediately, like if I don’t look at him, he won’t be real. My hea

  • KNOTTING ON ICE: Scentless Obsession    Not A Chapter

    Okay... before some of you come for my neck. 😂 I need to disappear for about 5 days. I know, I know... that's a long time, especially now that we're getting close to the ending, but hear me out first. We have about 38 chapters left, and my goal is still to finish Knotting on Ice before the end of this month. To make that happen without randomly disappearing again, I want to use these few days to properly outline and draft the remaining chapters. Trust me, if I can get them drafted ahead of time, there won't be any more pauses until Aurel and Neylan finally bully us into the ending. 😂 And no, this doesn't automatically mean there'll be zero updates. If I manage to write enough while outlining, I'll still drop chapters during those five days. I'm just trying to prepare the final stretch so everything flows smoothly. I'm also hoping to use the time to get a head start on book 2, Knotting on Wheels. 👀 Yes, it's happening! I really want to have it cooking in the background so that o

  • KNOTTING ON ICE: Scentless Obsession    97. Bad luck?

    AurelThe scoreboard clock blinks zero. Overtime. The entire stadium is loud, the screaming fans turning into a solid wall of noise inside my ears.My lungs burn. The air tastes like copper.The puck squirts loose right into the center circle. It is right there. Floating.Neylan, my teammate Jax, and their defender all drop their shoulders and charge at the exact same split second. Their sticks hit together with a loud crack."I got it! Move!" Jax yells, his voice raw as he lunges forward."Not today Wraiths!" Neylan barks back, his shoulder slamming hard into Jax to clear the space.The space is too tight. It is a mess of moving arms and dark jerseys.I dig the edge of my left skate into the ice, throwing my weight forward to steal the puck before it slips away. My body is just moving on instinct.Bodies slam together. Skates cross and tangle in a knot of steel. The whole group shifts to the left at once.The puck pops free, sliding away from the cluster.I plant my right skate hard

  • KNOTTING ON ICE: Scentless Obsession    96. Face off

    NeylanThe ice skates slice the frozen ground, a sharp scraping sound echoing through the loud arena. The scoreboard above flashes bright red. We are up by two goals.My lungs burn. My fingers grip the hockey stick until my knuckles turn white inside the padded gloves. The stadium is a madhouse, thousands of fans screaming, but my brain registers none of it. There is a thick, sweet wave hitting the back of my throat. Warm honey melting over ripe peach cutting straight through the smell of rubber, sweat, and melting ice.Even with this heavy plastic helmet strapped tight to my jaw, the scent finds me. It fills my nose, making my chest tighten. My head snaps to the right, my teeth digging deep into my inner cheek. Where is he?A heavy shoulder slams into my ribs, throwing me off balance. My skates skid sideways, spraying ice against the plexiglass. The puck skitters away, sliding right past my blade because I am completely frozen, hunting for a ghost on the ice instead of watching the

  • KNOTTING ON ICE: Scentless Obsession    Ch.95 Let's Get married

    Neylan My head pounds like a bass drum against my skull.I blink hard, staring at the white ceiling of the hotel room. The air feels heavy, smelling like stale sweat and warm honey melting over ripe peach—. I roll over, my arm slamming into empty, cold sheets.Nothing. No one is here.Fuck me! Have I lost it?I drag a hand down my face, my skin hot. Did I seriously just dream about fucking Aurel all night? Go crazy over an Omega who isn't even mine? That fact suddenly makes me feel like shit.I sit up, checking the bed. No clothes on the floor. No scent left on the extra pillow. No traces of him anywhere in this stupid room.Ha! This is crazy. A total hallucination. The rut must have fried my brain cells if I’m inventing his voice, his screams, his walls locking around me.I swing my legs out of bed, my feet hitting the cold floorboards. I need to get my head back on track. I am an Alpha. I don't chase ghosts, and I don't lose sleep over people who don't matter. If there's no stain,

    AurelThe smell from the pharmacy counter hits the back of my throat. My fingers shake against the small foil packet. The woman behind the glass registers the box, her face blank. She doesn't care. To her, I am just another guy buying a morning-after pill at six in the morning.I slide the cash across the counter. My lower belly still aches with that deep, heavy bruising weight from last night.I left the hotel without a trace because I know Neylan won't remember. Alphas in a rut don't remember the details. It was really a goodbye for both of us.I pop the pill right there at the counter, swallowing it dry. The bitter taste scratches my throat. It is Danny's birthday, so I decided to show my family the secret I had kept for years. I had already planned with Hannah right after the wedding. Since they will be leaving soon, I wanted my family to know about him.My hands grip the steering wheel of Anthony's car tight as I pull into the driveway. Hannah sits in the passenger seat, holding

    AurelI manage to lift my wet lashes, hoping he'll look at me and listen to me as my hands clamp down hard on his shoulders.“Fuck! Can you hear me?”Neylan freezes for a moment, his eyes which had been shut tight open slightly. But they darken instantly as they fall on me. He bites down hard on his lower lip until a drop of blood spills out.His eyes flips into a sharp gold, I recognize them perfectly. The first night we had sex, his eyes had those colours.Shit! Is he going into a rut right now?"Neylan..." I cup his face quickly, trying to make him look at me again. "Look at me."Nothing.His breathing turns rough against my skin, every breath hotter than the last. Those golden eyes stay open, but they don't see me anymore. It's like I'm looking at somebody trapped inside his own body while instinct takes over everything else.Panic curls low in my stomach."Neylan, stop... can you hear me?"My voice barely reaches him. His tongue drags slowly over my belly before he captures my mo

    AurelI push off the bed, ignoring the faint wheeze in my head. I’m not even listening to whatever Treyvon is saying.But then… what am I even going to say to him?I walk down the hallway and see Harper approaching.“Hey, why are you up and bouncing like you’re heading into a wrestling ring?”I ign

    AurelShit! I want to push him off me, but I can't even lift a fucking muscle.Of all people that could have been here, it had to be this asshole.He pulls my head closer to his body, his scent calming my nerves, but it annoys me. I understand that because he's my Alpha, that's why my body is respo

    NeylanFuck! Her body is burning, mirroring the heat raging through mine.The more she presses her concealed ass against my dick, the more her pheromones choke the air, wrapping around my senses until I don't know where my rut starts and her heat does.Fuck, she must have gone into heat triggered b

    AurelAs the only Omega in an all-Alpha hockey team, the best thing to do is keep my shit together around the others.But I got lucky, I presented as a recessive. Still pathetic for a man, considering you don’t always find a male Omega, let alone a recessive one.Well, I don’t give a rat’s ass abou
