Lila Morgan thought she understood why her fiancé liked things quiet. No posts. No interviews. No public affection. Ethan Cole, star forward of Silvercrest University’s hockey team, always said he wanted their relationship protected. Then the championship game ended. The jumbotron cut to Ethan as the crowd roared. He was laughing, flushed from the win. Then he pulled someone into his arms and kissed her. The camera zoomed in. It was Lila’s sister, Trisha. In front of thousands of people, she understood everything. He was not private. He was hiding her. She left the arena before the screen could switch away. An hour later, she was in a bar near campus, still hearing the crowd in her head. That is where she met Callum Reid, captain of the hockey team. Ethan’s captain. The one with a bad reputation and a sharp mouth. He had seen the kiss too. Lila did not want comfort. She wanted control. So she made a reckless decision and went home with the captain. What she did not know was that Callum was not just the face of Silvercrest hockey. He was a werewolf. And the second their paths crossed, fate decided she would be his.
