Catherine's POV

I don’t stop hitting the door.

My fists burn, the sound dull and useless against the thick metal, like the room is swallowing everything I give it. I shout too, though my voice already feels thin, like it doesn’t belong to me anymore. Nothing comes back. No echo. No footsteps. Nothing.

So I move.

I jump. I pace. I stomp my feet, arms wrapped tight around myself, doing anything I can think of to keep the cold from settling deeper into my bones. It already feels too deep. Like it

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    135. The Night I Saved Monsters

    Catherine's POV I close my eyes because I can't watch them tear him apart any longer.The sounds alone are enough.Growls. Flesh ripping. Bodies slamming against the ground hard enough to shake the dirt beneath my feet.Then another growl rises behind me.Low.Close.My eyes open slowly.And my heart nearly stops.Two wolves stand a few feet away from me, one to my left and the other to my right. Their eyes stay fixed on me without blinking, huge bodies tense beneath dark fur stained with blood that probably doesn't belong to them alone.I try to move.Nothing happens.My legs feel frozen in place.For one stupid second, I actually think maybe if I stay still enough, they won't attack me, but then one takes a slow step forward and I realize how ridiculous that thought is.These things kill people.I've seen it with my own eyes tonight.I turn back toward Clinton before panic completely takes over me.He's still fighting.Still trying.But the longer I watch, the clearer it becomes th

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    134. The Battlefield

    Catherine's POV My head hurts before I even open my eyes.The pain sits heavy at the back of my skull, pulsing slowly. I can smell sweat. Cigarette smoke. Leather seats warmed by too many bodies.A car.I'm inside a car.The realization settles quietly, and my stomach tightens.I keep my eyes closed and listen instead.The engine hums beneath me. Tires scrape against the rough road every few seconds. Someone coughs from the front seat. Another person taps impatient fingers against the door beside me.Then memory comes rushing back so fast my chest hurts.The motel.God, I was so stupid.One of them knocked on my door and said he was the hotel manager. Said there was an issue with my room that needed immediate attention.I remember opening the door halfway, still annoyed because I had barely slept after crying half the night over Clinton. Then I saw them standing there.Three huge men.I didn't even get the chance to ask what was happening before one of them punched me so hard everyth

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    133. Under Attack

    Clinton's POV I move closer to him, staring at the way his shoulders seem heavier than they did a few minutes ago. The room suddenly feels smaller, too quiet except for the sound of his breathing.“What do you mean we're doomed?”He drags a hand over his face and leans back in the chair. For a moment, he says nothing.“A prophecy came right after you were born.”My stomach tightens.I already hate where this is going.Black shifts uneasily inside me.“It said your first mate...” His voice trails off.I wait.Something cold crawls slowly down my spine.“What about her?”His eyes finally meet mine. “The prophecy says she'll be the little witch.”I close my eyes for a second and rub the back of my neck, already exhausted. Every day, something new appears from nowhere just to make this whole thing worse.“Does she know about the prophecy?”He nods immediately.I don't even need to say my stepmother's name. We both already know who I'm talking about.Black shifts uneasily inside me.She m

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    132. She’s My Mate

    Clinton's POV I leave Danny's room before my stepmother can start digging deeper into whatever nonsense excuse he plans to give her.I don't even look back.The hallway feels too quiet as I walk away, but my mind is louder than everything around me. Catherine's face keeps flashing inside my head over and over again. The fear in her eyes. The way she kept stepping away from me earlier as if I was some monster about to rip her apart.I reach the staircase and stop halfway up.Something feels wrong.Not normal wrong. Worse.The image of my stepmother standing outside Danny's room comes back again. That small smile on her face. Calm. Patient. Interested.I know that look.She's suspicious.And once she starts suspecting something, she never stops until she tears the truth out with her bare hands.We don't have time for this, Black says, pacing hard inside my head now. Go to your father.I exhale slowly and force myself to move again.Dad's study sits at the end of the hallway, the double

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    131. A Talisman Isn’t Supposed to Leave

    Clinton's POV After watching Catherine disappear down the road, I sit inside my car for a long time with both hands gripping the steering wheel so hard my knuckles start hurting. Black keeps pacing inside my head, restless and angry, throwing the same thought at me over and over again.Go after her.As if I don't already want to.Every instinct inside me is screaming to track her down, drag her somewhere safe, and keep her there until all this madness passes, but that isn't how Catherine works. The second she feels cornered, she runs harder. I know her. I know the way her mind works when she's hurt. Push too much and she shuts down completely.Still, watching her walk away from me feels wrong in a way I can't explain.The empty passenger seat beside me makes my chest ache.I start the engine before I lose my mind completely and drive straight to the mansion. The road passes in a blur under the headlights while Richard's face keeps flashing through my head without warning. One second

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    130. Farther

    Catherine's POV I don’t even know where I’m going anymore.I just keep moving.One bus turns into another, then another after that. I sit beside strangers, press my forehead against cold windows, and watch unfamiliar streets blur past while the sky slowly darkens above me.Every time the bus stops at the last station, I grab my bag, get down, and enter another one before my thoughts can settle properly.Farther.That’s the only thing my mind keeps repeating.Farther away from Woodblock City.Farther away from the Red Moon pack.Farther away from Clinton.The funny thing is, I keep expecting him to come after me anyway. Every time a bus door opens, part of me looks up, expecting to see him standing there with that intense stare of his, breathing hard after searching everywhere for me.But he never comes.By the time I finally stop moving, it’s already past one in the morning.I stand outside a small roadside motel with flickering lights hanging over the entrance and stare up at the si

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    70. A Step Too Close

    Clinton's POV Slowly, I turn back to him. “What about her?” I try to sound calm, but my voice cracks just enough to betray me.“Is there something you’d like to tell me about her?”That suspicion I’ve been chewing on all night is right there, mirrored in his eyes, waiting for me to confirm it.I s

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    64. Waiting for a Call

    Catherine's POV I keep staring at my phone, hoping, praying it will ring. Why isn’t Amy calling me like she promised? I did exactly what she asked. I got a new phone, retrieved my line, and it’s already past one in the afternoon. Still nothing.The teacher’s voice yanks me back to reality, but I c

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    59. Loyalty on Trial

    Clinton's POV I sit on the floor beside the door, staring at the Rovin in my hand.It feels heavier than it should…like it knows what’s at stake.“She’s so stubborn,” I mutter, squeezing it.A cold weight settles in my chest as I imagine her collapsing somewhere, alone, gasping for air while I sit

  • My Ex's Brother Is the Hockey Alpha    58. What the Doctors Can’t See

    Catherine's POV Just before I reach the door, something inside me changes.It happens so fast that I don’t even understand it.One second, I’m angry and ready to storm out like a boss. The next… it feels like my whole body is on fire from the inside. It’s not something I can explain, no matter how
