Friday night lights washed over the Northgate Arena, turning the ice to a sheet of white fire. The championship game hung in the air, a brutal, beautiful dance of bodies and sticks. But for Asher Kane, the roar of the crowd had become a distant murmur. His focus drifted from the hard-checking defensemen to the sidelines, where the cheer captain stood like a general surveying her troops. She moved with a fierce grace, her voice a sharp blade cutting through the arena’s pulse. Around him, Declan, Griffin, and Tate joked and speculated, but Asher stayed silent, his jaw set, his eyes locked on the woman who commanded the chaos. The game was over. The real contest was just beginning.
