GINGER:

My heart thumps in my chest as the taxi comes to a halt in front of the house. I take a deep breath before getting out of the car, then slowly make my way to the front door. Just as my hand reaches for the handle, my mother pulls the door open, her brows wrinkled.

“Hey, Ginger’s back!” she announces before I can say a word.

I swallow hard as I hear Caspian’s voice in the background. My mother shifts to the side, allowing me to step inside while keeping her eyes on me, making it clear I’m in trouble. The moment I walk in, I spot Caspian by the living room door.

“Hey,” he says in a low tone, cupping my face. I look into his eyes, trying to convince myself he deserves what he got for the way he treated me.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, Ginger, are you okay?” my mother asks, her tone laced with anger, making me grab Caspian’s hand as I lead him toward the stairs.

“Let me grab my backpack,” he says, stopping me halfway. As he walks to the couch to pick it up, I stare at my mother, who has

    HU:The thought of Ginger and Caspian together makes my blood boil. As I pull up in front of my house, I spot Caspian walking back into hers. That should be me, but I decided to screw it up with my issues. Fuck, I hate my life, and I would give anything to be him.As I drive into the compound, my phone rings, and I glance at the screen to see Ruby’s name. Angrily, I shut it off and park my car. I get out, slamming the door as I march toward the house.I spot my mum in the living room as I walk in, but I ignore her and head straight for the stairs.“Good afternoon to you too, Hu,” she says, and I groan, turning briefly.“Good afternoon, Mother,” I say, then make my way upstairs before she can say anything else or engage me in an unwanted conversation. I rush to my room, shut the door, and walk to my bed.Ginger’s window is open, which makes me believe nothing inappropriate is going on. I lie down, shutting my eyes, trying hard to drift to sleep, but it’s almost impossible.At that mome

    GINGER:Waking up with Caspian by my side feels right. I am not insanely attracted to him like I am to Hu, but I think I love it this way. There is no second-guessing if he loves me because, clearly, he cannot do without me, and he would do anything for me.His arms wrapped around me make me feel safe, and I would give anything to let this moment last.“Good morning, sleepyheads.” I hear my mother’s voice, causing me to flip my eyes open to see her standing by the door with a smug smile on her lips.I open my eyes properly, looking around to see that pillows are lined between Caspian and me. The feeling of him spooning me was just the pillows against my butt. His hands are on me, but he withdraws them as soon as he opens his eyes.We both sit up, and I glare at my mom, my brows wrinkled.“Good morning, Anna,” Caspian says, and my eyes widen. They’re on a first-name basis now? I know I disobeyed her, but she is trying hard to get to me, and, god, it’s working.“Good morning, Caspian.”

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   I LOVE YOU

    GINGER:The events from the hallway keep playing in my mind as the geography teacher blabs in front of the board. Hana hasn’t returned, and it’s been over thirty minutes, which makes me worried. Suddenly, the door opens, and Hana walks in with a red face. I can tell she has been crying, and it makes my heart drop. If Hu knows his actions hurt people, then why does he keep doing it?Silently, she gets into her seat in front of me. I itch to ask her about Hu, but I cannot, because that would raise suspicions. So I sit there painfully until the class is over, then I reach out for her.“Are you okay?” I ask, and she turns around, giving me a slight nod before letting out a sigh.“I don’t know why he keeps doing this. He knows it will cost him a lot if a teacher sees him that way, but he doesn’t care. No one knows the reason for this, because he won’t talk. He says we don’t care about him, but he doesn’t make it easy either way.” The crack in her voice makes me realize how much she cares f

    GINGER:“What in the Moon Goddess’s name is going on here?” Mother’s voice rings through the room, making Hu and I pull away from each other instantly.I stare at her, my face drained of color as she glares at me, her brows furrowing. Hu and I stay silent.“Is anyone going to explain what the hell I just walked into?” she demands, then suddenly slaps her forehead with both hands, letting out a dry chuckle. “Oh, I know—this is a dream. I’ll just shut this door, wait a second, and when I open it again, none of this will be real.”I open my mouth to speak, but before I can, she shuts the door. I sigh.“We’re in trouble, aren’t we?” Hu mutters. I glance at him, my brows knitted.We wait in silence for my mother to finish her dramatic pause. When the door swings open again, she’s wearing a forced smile.“So, I’m not dreaming, and the Alpha Prince is really in my daughter’s room.” Her voice is eerily calm before her expression darkens. She shuts the door behind her with a loud thud and lean

    Hu:It’s been a week since I told Ginger I loved her. I can’t tell how I’ve been holding back, but today, it feels like my heart will explode. I’ve noticed she’s been avoiding me. When I see her at school, she won’t meet my eyes, and she always walks in groups, making sure I don’t get the chance to pull her aside. She knows exactly what she’s doing, and it’s killing me.She said she still thinks about that night too, so why is she acting like I’m some kind of disease? It’s like she’s messing with my head, and it’s fucking working. I want to go to her house, but I’m wary of her mom, and her curtains have been shut for an entire week.“You need to wait for her to come to you,” I tell myself, tossing a ball against the wall in front of me.At first, the steady rhythm soothes me, but the more I think about her, the more it grates on my nerves. When the ball bounces back toward me, I catch it and crush it in my hand. Sitting up, I swing my legs off the bed and let my hands hang between my

    GINGER:I didn’t mean any of the things I said to Hu, and I never would. After my mother told me to choose wisely, I wrote out the pros and cons of both Hu and Caspian. Unfortunately, Caspian has never hurt me, but Hu—that night will forever stay in my mind, and it breaks my heart. I wanted to tell him I loved him back, but I couldn’t.After successfully holding back my tears, I lock my windows and make my way downstairs. Caspian is seated in the living room with my sister, Daisy, and my mother. Daisy is making weird faces, and he’s returning the gesture, but the moment he sees me, he stops.“Can we go now?” he asks. I nod, and he gets up. I glance at my mother before heading upstairs with Caspian behind me, holding my hand.As we walk, I try to ground myself, focusing on the fact that Caspian makes me feel safe. That should be the only thing that matters right now. I shouldn’t care about Hu because he probably just wants sex from me. Even though I know that’s not true, I try to convi

    GINGER: For a moment, I try to convince myself that nothing bad has happened to Hu and that he is probably at his apartment, needing space to process what I said to him. “Ginger, are you there?” Hana’s voice snaps me back to reality. “Please put Caspian on. I’ve been calling him, but he isn’t answering. Hiram went to Hu’s apartment in town, but he’s not there. Everyone is worried, and I don’t understand why he keeps doing this.” Her voice cracks, and I can feel her pain. “Hold on, please,” I say, my mouth barely able to form the words. I tap Caspian’s arm lightly, causing him to stir. “Babe,” he groans. I roll my eyes with a sigh and tap him harder, making his eyes snap open. “Hana wants to speak with you. Hu is missing.” His body shoots upright like a robot given a command. He grabs the phone from me and brings it to his ear. As I watch him take the call, a sinking realization settles in—I am the villain in this story, and there is no sugarcoating it. I shouldn’t have come to

    GINGER:“I want her.” The words replay in my head like I’m in a movie as we all file out of the room.I know he’s trying to get back at me, but a part of me doesn’t want to see it that way because that would be selfish—thinking everything revolves around me. I hate what he’s doing to me, and knowing Ruby will be the one seeing him while he’s in that condition makes me feel… jealous.“At least he’s okay, even if I have to watch that monster walk into my house every single day,” Hana says, and I try to keep a straight face as we make it to the general living room.I sit there, waiting for Caspian, who is still in the room with Hu. Guilt presses down on me, and honestly, I want to let it out. I want to tell someone that I caused his accident, that I’m sorry and never meant to hurt him, but they will never see it that way. So instead, I sit quietly, saying nothing.Shortly after, Caspian comes out of the room, and Hana gets to her feet, walking toward him.“Thank you so much for coming,”

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   TRUTH

    HU’S POV:It’s been weeks of pretending like my whole fucking life isn’t falling apart. Seeing Ginger bond with Caspian makes me want to kill myself. I question the goddess every single day to make it make sense to me. Sure, I am passionate about things, but not people. Ginger just makes everything different, and worse, I can no longer concentrate on my studies without her help.I want to lie close to her every day, because hearing her voice is the only thing I long for, even if she is teaching the most boring subject. As long as she is the one talking, I would listen.Here I am in this hall, staring at my test papers, writing faster than a lightning bolt, because as I stare at it, her soothing voice echoes in my head, telling me what to do, and what not to do.“You are doing great.” I hear her voice in my head as I get to the end of my question.As soon as I finish, I take

    GINGER:Caspian’s lips against mine are soft and heartwarming. It feels like old times. I feel my body opening up to him as he nibbles gently, pleading for entrance, which I grant him without thinking twice. My wolf has been starved of touches from any of her mates for two months now, and I am the only barrier stopping her from undoing Caspian’s clothes and taking him here in public.After what feels like an eternity, Caspian pulls away, both of us panting. My mind is still afloat as he speaks.“I’ve missed this,” he says, drawing me back to reality. Then he stares into my eyes, causing my chest to thump fast, making me regret kissing him.Before I can react, the words I dread fall from his lips. “I want you, Ginger.”Air leaves my lungs as I stay still, wondering whether to pull away or not. I do not want to lead him on again. I mean, I love him as a person, my

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   LIKE OLD TIMES

    GINGER:It’s been two weeks since my last encounter with Hu. Hearing him confirm his love for me was needed, but even at that, I do not know what to do with it. I am certain he is my one true mate, but he seems like he is in his head, and he hasn’t for once tried to make a move on me.Our learning period has been platonic, even on the days my mum is away, and we have the chance to make out, or even go deeper than that — he just sits there, listening to me teach him. I am proud of him for his progress since then, and knowing his concentration only stems from being taught by me makes me feel special for holding such an important place in his heart, but then the thoughts of wanting more slip into my mind now and then.I do not want to spoil anything, so I stay back, watching his relationship with Caspian blossom again. Caspian, on the other hand, has become closer to me, and it is safe to say

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   I MEANT EVERYTHING

    GINGER:It is the first day of school after the match, and the halls are silent with praise for me. No one is giving me a disgusted look, and the people who hate me so much have their lips shut as I walk down the hallway.The feeling is great, I must admit, but there are more pressing issues. I get to my locker, put my stuff away, take out the things I need, and then shut it just in time to see Hu walking towards the classroom halls. I go after him.“Hu!” I call out, and he comes to a halt without turning to face me. I make my way to his front, standing before him, and even now, he has his face down. He is making this more difficult for both of us, and I wish he would just speak to me, but it doesn’t look like he will be doing that anytime soon.“Is everything okay?” I question, and he glances up at me with his expression neutral.“Yes, everything is

    Ginger:The arena is a frenzy of cheers, clapping, and blurry bodies moving in celebration, but all I can think about is Hu. My eyes dart from face to face as I search the crowd, my heart pounding louder than the echo of the victory horn. Seeing him fall scared the shit out of me, but then he stood up like nothing happened. I know he’s probably hurt, and I feel the need to be there for him—like he’s always been there for me.“Excuse me—sorry!” I murmur, weaving through fans waving the Shadow Pelt flag, looking for that familiar, stubborn face. He’ll say he doesn’t need help, and he’s probably somewhere trying to soothe his pain.I don’t see him anywhere near the bench or the sidelines. Not even among the players being lifted and hugged. My chest tightens as I try to keep my feelings in check. I shouldn’t panic. This is Hu, who doesn’t give a shit about m

    Hu:Coach Greg’s voice slices through the locker room as he marches in, blowing his whistle multiple times, clapping his hands to get the rowdy locker room to come to a halt. I know the girls did well yesterday, but the fact we won’t have a shot at the finals if we fail is where the pressure is. We are the only shot needed to save face for our pack. Although we have never lost to any team, there is still need for preparation.“Hu!” He shoots me a commanding look, and I jog up to him, standing beside him. Then he faces the rest of the team.“I don’t care how good the Blue Shadow boys are. I don’t care if they’ve got players with ice for blood. We are Shadow Pelt!” he growls, pacing in front of us. “Yesterday, they took victory from our girls, and it is our duty to protect them, so we must restore their dignity!”Every guy in the team stands straighter, and I can see the raw burn of revenge in their eyes. Well, it is mostly because some boys have taken a liking to the girls. The team is

    GINGER:Ginger’s breath comes in ragged gasps as she rushes down the hallway, her vision blurred with unshed tears. The echo of the crowd’s cheers for the Blue Shadow Pack rings in her ears, each sound amplifying the shame tightening in her chest. She cost them the game. She fell at the most critical moment.She doesn’t stop until she reaches the empty corridor leading to the locker rooms, but heavy footsteps pound behind her, gaining on her fast.“Ginger!” Hu calls out, but she doesn’t slow down.She clenches her fists, trying to ignore him, but within seconds, he is beside her. His longer strides close the distance between them, and before she can pull away, his hand curls gently around her wrist, forcing her to stop.“Leave me alone, Hu,” she whispers, her voice cracking.He doesn’t let go. “Why are you beating yourself up?”

    GINGER:The locker room is buzzing with high energy as we prepare for the match against the Blue Shadow Pack. Everyone is talking over one another, debating who should go on the field first. I sit on the edge of the bench, tying my skates, trying to block out the noise. Then I see a pair of familiar shoes walking toward me, stopping inches away.Ruby speaks before I can look up. “She shouldn’t play.” Her tone is laced with disgust. “She’s too fat, and she’ll slow us down and make us lose.”My fingers freeze over my laces as I lift my head to see her standing with her hands on her waist.Silence falls for a brief second before a few girls start giggling, while others shift uncomfortably. My chest tightens as heat rises to my face, and I will myself to look unaffected, but my nails dig into my palm.“Ruby might be right,” someone says

    GINGER:I push the door open, my body still damp from the pool, Hu’s oversized shirt clinging to me. My heart sinks the moment I step inside and find Janet’s side of the bed empty. Worse, my property is all over the place. My clothes are on the ground, and they are wet.A shaky breath escapes me as I scan the room. I walk over to one of my shirts, lifting it off the ground, watching as water drips from it. Tears well up in my eyes, and I try so hard to ground myself, but they keep falling. I know I hurt someone, but this is too much karma for my sins. A choked sob slips out, and suddenly, I sink onto the cold floor, pulling my knees to my chest.I try to breathe, but it feels like I’m suffocating. Like the walls are closing in. And then it happens before I can stop it. The darkness I dread envelops me, pulling me under like quicksand, dragging me back to a place I never want to be.The room fades, and it is just me, standing with my father, watching him p
