My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 181
Ember's POVRebecca was sitting up.Not the propped-against-pillows version from my imagination during the eight days — actually sitting up, back straight, the specific posture of someone who had decided they had been horizontal long enough and were done with it. The bruising on her face had faded significantly. The dressing above her eyebrow was smaller than it had been. She looked like herself in a way she had not looked for eight days because for eight days she had not looked like anything except a person waiting to come back.She looked at me when I came through the door."Finally," she said.I sat down.And then I talked.I do not know exactly when I decided to tell her everything — it was not a decision so much as an inevitability, the specific relief of a person who has been carrying too much finding that the person they most trusted was available again and opening without being able to stop.I told her about James and the training. About the wardrobe and the strength that had
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 180
Ember's POVThe crowd dispersed the way crowds dispersed after something significant — slowly, in clusters, people talking to each other about what they had just seen and what it meant and what they were going to tell the people who had not been there. The roses were still on the field. Nobody seemed to know what to do with them now that the moment they had been arranged for was over.Knox and I stood in the center of them.I looked at the gate where Charlotte had been led out."She went too far," I said.Knox waited."I know that is obvious," I said. "I know it has been obvious for a while and I have been the one finding reasons to hold back because she is my sister and holding back felt like the right thing." I looked at the gate. "Arranging an attack that put Rebecca in a hospital for eight days—" I stopped. "That is not something I can hold back from. There is no version of family loyalty that covers that.""No," Knox said."I do not feel sorry for her," I said. "I want to be clea
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 179
Ember's POVThe field had been transformed.I did not know when he had done it or who had helped him do it — Knox was suspended and had limited campus access and had been spending most of his time at a hospital — but somehow between the training session with James and the text telling me to come here, the hockey field had become something else entirely.Roses. Red ones, arranged on the ground in the shape of a heart large enough to be visible from the edge of the field. Not dozens — hundreds, the kind of arrangement that required planning and time and the specific determination of someone who had decided to do something properly rather than halfway.Students had gathered at the edges.I did not know if Knox had told people or if the arrangement had drawn them the way arrangements like this always drew people — the specific gravitational pull of something romantic happening in a public space, the collective instinct to witness it.I saw Ethan at the far edge of the crowd before I saw K
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 178
Ember's POVJames was not what I had expected.I had built a version of him in my head from what Knox had described — a trainer, someone who worked with wolves and hybrids, someone serious enough that Knox's father had sent him specifically. I had expected someone like Marcus sounded — large, formal, the particular authority of someone who had been doing something important for a long time.James was none of those things visually. Medium height, somewhere in his forties, a calm face with the kind of lines that came from spending time outside rather than from age. He looked at me when Knox introduced us with the expression of someone taking stock — not invasive, just present. The way a doctor looked at a patient before asking the first question."I have heard about you," he said."From Knox?" I said."From Knox," he said. "And from what Knox described, I would have wanted to meet you regardless of the circumstances.""The circumstances being," I said."That your wolf is accelerating wi

Ember's POV"He does not have proof," Knox said.We were in the corridor just inside the main entrance, out of the car park cold, not yet back in the waiting room. He said it quietly and directly, the way he said things when he needed them to land without drama."He has a file," I said."He has readings he cannot explain," Knox said. "Numbers that are unusual. A story about a hereditary condition that he does not believe." He held my gaze. "None of that is proof of what we are. It is suggestive to someone who already suspects. To anyone else it is a patient with an unusual medical history." He paused. "He cannot do anything with what he has. Not yet.""Not yet," I said."Which is why we do not give him more," he said. "No more conversations, no more office visits, nothing that adds to the file." He looked at me. "Are you okay?"I thought about whether I was okay."No," I said honestly. "But I am functional. Which is what tonight needs."He nodded.We went back to the waiting room.---
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 176
Ember's POVKnox was outside the office door.Not outside the waiting room, not at the end of the corridor — directly outside the door, standing against the wall opposite it with his arms folded and his jacket on and the expression of someone who had arrived and found a situation he had not been briefed on and was waiting to be briefed.I stopped when I saw him.He looked at me. Then at the door behind me. Then at my face."How long have you been standing there?" I said."Long enough," he said."Did you hear—""No," he said. "The door is solid." He pushed off the wall. "But you were in there for twenty minutes and Claire said the nurse came to get you specifically and it was not about Rebecca." He looked at the door. "Who is in there?""Come with me," I said.I did not want to have this conversation in the corridor outside the office. I did not know if the doctor was on the other side of the door and I did not know what the acoustics of the corridor were doing and I had already had on
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Get Out
Ember's POV I woke up in the middle of the night and for about three seconds, I didn't know where I was. Then it all came back. The party. Ethan. The key. Knox's apartment and the trophies on every shelf and the way he had looked at me when I told him I had never done this before — not with pity
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Something About Her
Knox's POV I almost didn't go to the party. Parties were not really my thing, not in the way people thought they were. Everyone assumed that because I was the team captain and because girls always wanted to talk to me and because I had a reputation that followed me everywhere I went, I must love
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret The Worst Birthday Ever
Ember's POVTonight was supposed to be the best night of my life.I stood in front of the bathroom mirror and carefully lined my lips, taking my time the way I never usually did. I was the kind of girl who rushed through getting ready because there was always something more important waiting — a le
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 60
Ember's POVKnox showed me the note the next morning.He came to my room before breakfast, which he did not usually do, and I knew from the fact that he was there before eight that whatever he had to show me was not something he wanted to carry through a full day without telling me first.I opened
