LOGINAxel's povMy entire body went rigid, my eyes snapping to the guys on the bench. Dylan had his phone, staring at the screen while two other guys leaned over to look too. Their mouths were parted in shock.I guess coach hadn't noticed he brought his phone because usually he'd get an earful right about now. But Dylan didn't seem to care since he was benched for the season anyway."Holy shit. She has a perfect ass," Holland hoots low.I skated quickly to the bench, ignoring that I had some more rounds to do. Each scrape of my blades against the ice echoed through the arena.I removed my helmet and asked tightly. "What the fuck are you three one about?"Ashton had stopped skating too but hadn't followed me. Just stared, confused.'What's going on?' He mind linked.Dylan lifted his eyes from the phone, smirking as he turned the screen to face me. "Now I see why you did her.Who would've thought Winter had such a hot body underneath all those sweats?"There practically glaring at me is Wint
Axel's povThe sharp scrape of skates against ice echoed throughout the rink as I shot the puck across the surface. It slammed against the boards and I growl under my breath."Someone's wolf is on edge," Ashton grumbled.I ignored him and skated after it as the cold air burned my lungs. Normally hockey helped me get out my frustrations and calmed me down but not tonight. Tonight it wasn't doing a damn thing.Because every time I closed my eyes, I saw Winter. Every single fucking second I think of her. Her smile, her scent hell even the way she glares at me.Crossing that line by fucking her sparked that bond and now it was becoming more difficult to stay away. The moon goddess was sick for giving me a mate I couldn't claim."Ayo Storme, pass it!" One of the guys on the team shouted to get my attention. It pulled me out of the thoughts of Winter for a split second. It was enough to pass him the puck."Your heads not in the game," Ashton said beside me. I glanced at him. He was skating
Winter's povMy blood ran cold."Wh-at?" I stuttered.Jane laughed beside Masha. "You heard her...pipsqueak," she mocked the name Axel gave me.Masha's gaze drifted toward the stage again. "I mean, you're already working in a strip club," she shrugged. "You might as well make yourself useful."My face burned. Not with embarrassment but with anger and frustration. Masha and Jane had never been this bad and cruel to me before. This was all Axel's doing.If he hadn't come into that room last night...."No," I replied firmly and Masha blinks then looked over at Jane who smirked. Jane nodded and moved off the stool before disappearing into the crowd. My brows furrowed.I know for a fact they would never make me go this easily.My fingers twitch to grab my phone in my pocket and as if knowing who I was about to call, Masha places her hand on the counter and extends her claws threateningly.It glinted beneath the flashing club lights, reminding me what she was and exactly what I am.My finge
Winter's povThe music blares through the speakers as the bass vibrated through the floor beneath my feet. I didn't quite like working behind the bar at one of the most popular strip clubs in Boston but I had no choice.My stepdad liked to gamble and mom refused to leave him. It didn't help that he would rather spend money on alcohol than buy baby formula for Sophia. Every little cent I made went to Sophia.I sighed, trying to drown out the noise as I jot down some notes. Multitasking wasn't my strong suits but it had to be done, especially if I want to keep my scholarship.I groaned and crossed out a line that didn't make sense. I was having a hard time focusing and it wasn't because of the music blaring or the lights of every shade of blue and red painting across the paper. It was because of him. Axel Storme.Every time I reached for a bottle, I thought about him and every time I saw dark hair in the crowd, my stupid heart skipped a beat. It was kind of pathetic if you ask me becaus
Winter's povHe rejected me again. After kissing me....making me feel all those things, he walked away like it meant nothing. Hell, he even apologized like it was some kind of mistake.Because it was for him....My heart tore and Ashton's eyes softened on me. "Win-I shook my head. "It meant nothing," I lied, walking past him to the door so I could close it. However my eyes caught something I didn't want to see in the hallway.Masha's nasty lips on Axel's cheek.A whimper escaped my throat before I could stop it. When he turned around and his eyes caught mine, I forgot how to breathe. Ashamed that he perhaps heard me, I slammed the door shut. Hard."You should stay away from him you know," Ashton said behind me. I had completely forgotten he was in the room.I turn around slowly as I try to relax my racing heart. "Weren't you the one who always tried to push us to be friends?" I asked sarcastically as I try to play it cool.Ashton scoffed. "Clearly you two got a little too friendly la
Axel's povGive her the necklace and leave. Give her the necklace and leave.I repeated those words over and over in my head as I looked at Winter across the room. Her scent was intoxicating and made my wolf Hunter stir.'Taste her again,' he pleaded. 'One more taste. One more.''We can't,' I groaned, my cock stiffening when her pretty eyes glared at me and stormed towards me to grasp the necklace from my hold.The second our fingers touched and I felt the sharp tingles, I knew I was done for. I know I should've left then because I was treading on dangerous waters but then my eyes caught the book on the floor and I decided to pick them up.The least I could do was help her clean up. It wasn't out of pity. Nor was it out of wanting her to forgive me for last night. I just wanted to help.But then being the clumsy girl that she was, she cut her finger on the sharp glass. I didn't know what came over me then, but all the control I had which had already been a little....snapped.Especiall
Evie's povThe second Ryan turned his back...something in my chest twisted. It was my heart. It hurt, painfully at that too.I hated it, the feeling. I hated that even after everything...my body still reacted to him. Still noticed him. Still-No. Stop Evie. You promised you wouldn't care. Not anymo
Evie's povThe impact clashed in the air with loud growls and roars.A surprised gasp tore from my throat as the two massive wolves collided, teeth snapping, claws tearing into dirt and flesh to draw blood. The sound alone, loud snarls, vicious growls, the mere crack of force, has the warriors look
Ryan's povA low, furious growl ripped from my chest before I even realized it. The sound was loud and harsh, causing the birds in the trees to fly out of the trees out of fear. Some of my warriors that had been running around froze, staring at me in fear. 'Mine.' Apex pushed forward violently, cl
Evie's povThe world seems to stop and for a heartbeat, I couldn't seem to remember how to breathe.Kim's face twists in disbelief, her eyes shadowing with anger and hurt. Her hand, which had been clutching Ryan's arm, drop to her side like she had been scorched.My stomach flips."How how could yo
