My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 191
Ember's POVRita put her phone in her pocket.The call with my father was gone and what was left was the living room with its four occupants and the specific shifted air of a situation that had just reorganized itself around new information.Rita looked at Charlotte.Then at Ethan.Then at me.I watched it happen. The calculation running behind her eyes — the evidence she had, the version she had been building, the new configuration she was deciding how to fit it into. It took approximately four seconds.Then she made her decision."Charlotte," she said. Her voice had changed — the anger from before redirected, the sharp edges of it pointing somewhere new. "Come here."Charlotte crossed to her mother.Rita put her hand on Charlotte's arm. Not possessive — protective. The specific placement of a person drawing a line around what was theirs.She looked at Ethan."You must be tired from the journey," she said. "There is food in the kitchen if you are hungry."Ethan looked at Rita with th
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 190
Ember's POVThe front door had not fully closed.I heard it — the movement of it, the creak that the hinge made, the specific sound of a door that had been pulled but not latched. And then, instead of the click of it closing properly, the sound of it opening again.Not Ethan coming back.Charlotte came in.She was in her coat, bag on her shoulder, the specific energy of someone who had been somewhere else and had arrived home without knowing what they were arriving into. She looked at Rita first — the automatic orientation of a daughter coming home, the mother check.Then she saw Ethan.He had stopped in the hallway. He had not gone as far as I thought — had gotten as far as the hallway and had paused there, whether because he had heard the door or because he had not been in as much of a hurry to leave as he had appeared.Charlotte looked at him.Something moved across her face.Not surprise — or not only surprise. Something that had more history in it. The look of someone seeing a pe
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 189
Ember's POVI sat down on the arm of the couch.Not a decision — my legs made it and I went with it. I sat on the arm of the couch and held the cushion beside me and listened to Rita talk to my father.She was good at this.I had always known she was good at this — the specific skill of presenting a version of events that was technically adjacent to the truth while being constructed to produce a particular impression. She did not lie outright. She did not need to. She selected details and arranged them and delivered them in the order that built the picture she wanted built.The picture she was building now was of a daughter who had invited a boy to her father's house while he was away. Who had been conducting herself however she pleased at school all semester. Who was standing in the living room right now showing disrespect and attitude.My father's voice came through the phone.Not the words — Rita had the phone at her ear and his voice was at the distance where I could hear the tone
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 188
Ember's POVRita's expression completed its journey.The company version — the managed, presentable version she had been maintaining since Ethan walked through the door — dropped in the specific way it dropped when something had overridden the management. What was underneath it was not company appropriate."You invited him here," she said.I turned to look at her. "I did not—""You invited a boy to this house," Rita said. "To your father's house. While he is away." She looked at Ethan, who was still standing in the center of the living room with the unruffled ease of someone watching a scene he had created and was not responsible for. "You had the audacity—""I did not invite him," I said. "I did not know he was coming. I did not give him this address." I kept my voice level. "He should not be here.""She is telling the truth," Ethan said pleasantly. "She did not invite me. I came on my own."Rita looked at him.Then at me.The look said she did not believe either of us."Your boyfrie
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 187
Ember's POV"The park," Knox said. "Saturday. I will find something good.""You do not have to find something good," I said. "You just have to be there.""I am going to find something good," he said. "That is not negotiable.""Knox—""Ember." The specific tone he used when he had decided something and the decision was not going to be reopened. "Saturday. I will text you the time.""Fine," I said."Fine," he said back, and there was something in it that was not actually fine-as-in-resigned — it was fine-as-in-good, the warmth of it underneath the word.We talked for another twenty minutes. He told me about Marcus — not everything, just the shape of the conversation and the weight of what his father had said about the hunters and the mate search. I listened and asked the right questions and did not push past where he was comfortable and he did the same for me and that was what the conversation was — two people in two different houses choosing each other's company over the quiet of a sum
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Chapter 186
Ember's POVI wiped my face with the back of my hand before I answered.Then I cleared my throat.Then I answered."Hi," I said. My voice came out mostly normal. Slightly lower than usual, slightly more controlled than usual, the specific quality of a voice that has been doing something and has been asked to stop doing it and is in the transition between the two."Hi," Knox said. "How was the journey?""Fine," I said. "Long. Fine."A pause."Are you okay?" he said."Yes," I said. "Tired. It was a long day."Another pause. Longer."Ember," he said."Yes.""Have you been crying?"I looked at the dark ceiling."No," I said."Ember."I pressed my lips together.The thing about Knox was that he had spent months learning to read me — not the performing version, not the fine version, the actual version. He had been in too many rooms with me during too many difficult things to be managed by the surface now."Yes," I said.He did not say anything immediately. He gave it a moment, the way he ga
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret Something Is Wrong With Me
Ember's POVAfter Knox left, the three of us stood in the room and Jessica was going on about the way he had supposedly been looking at her, and Kimberly was shaking her head saying no, she had watched the whole thing and Knox had barely taken his eyes off me for a second, and I was standing there
My Hockey Alpha Deadly Secret The Curse
Knox's POVThe moment the door clicked shut behind her, I lost the fight. I had been holding it back since the second I turned from the window and saw her eyes open in the dark, through all of her questions and all of her anger and all of the things she said that I knew I deserved. I had stood ther
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
