Summary

"You keep watching her like that, and people might start getting the wrong idea," Alex said casually, unwrapping the tape from his hands. His smirk was lazy, confident—unchallenged. Ethan’s jaw tightened. "She’s my best friend. I don’t need to explain myself to you." Alex chuckled, shaking his head. "Best friend. Right. That’s what you tell yourself, huh?" He stood up, towering over Ethan. "But let’s get one thing straight—Aurora is mine. Has been for three years. And I don’t share." Ethan met his gaze, unflinching. "She’s not something you own, Alex." Silence stretched between them, thick with unspoken words, a battle neither of them would admit to fighting. Across the rink, Aurora laughed at something Isla said, her smile bright, unaware of the silent war waged over her. Alex smirked, patting Ethan’s shoulder "Keep telling yourself that, buddy. But don’t forget—she always chooses me."

Introduction

Aurora, a 22-year-old with a free spirit and a heart full of dreams, is the kind of woman who leaves a lasting impression. With her soft features, expressive eyes, and an effortless grace, she carries both innocence and quiet strength. Growing up surrounded by love, she values loyalty and kindness above all. A passionate artist, she finds solace in painting, using colors to express the emotions she often struggles to put into words. For the past three years, she has been in a relationship with Alex, drawn to his intensity and charm, yet unaware of how much control he holds over her life.

At 26, Alex is a dominant force both on and off the ice. A star hockey player with a sculpted physique, sharp jawline, and piercing gaze, he exudes confidence and control. Competitive to the core, he doesn’t just play to win—he needs to. Every move is calculated, every decision final. He thrives on power, refusing to let anyone dictate his path. Charismatic yet ruthless, Alex takes what he wants without hesitation, and once he sets his sights on something, there’s no stopping him.

Ethan, 25, is the complete opposite of Alex—gentle, kind, and effortlessly charming. With his soft brown eyes and an easygoing smile, he carries a warmth that draws people in. As a skilled hockey strategist rather than a player, he values teamwork over dominance. His lean yet athletic build speaks of quiet strength, but his real power lies in his patience and understanding. Unlike Alex, Ethan doesn’t believe in control—he believes in choice, in earning trust rather than demanding it. Yet beneath his calm nature is a quiet resilience, a willingness to fight for what truly matters to him.He has been Aurora’s childhood friend, always by her side, offering her comfort, support, and a love so steady it feels like home.

Isla, 22, is Aurora’s closest friend and the one person who sees through everything, including Alex’s controlling nature. Fiercely independent and outspoken, she never hesitates to challenge Aurora’s choices, especially when she senses trouble. With a sharp wit and a heart that always looks out for her best friend, Isla is the one who pushes Aurora to question what she truly wants. She’s not afraid to call out Alex’s behavior or point out the way Ethan looks at Aurora, even when Aurora refuses to see it herself. Whether it’s cheering her up after a tough day or forcing her to face the truth, Isla is the friend who won’t let Aurora lose herself.

Half-Claimed

Bargara4670: Half-Claimed was easy to read with a well-thought-out plot that kept me interested throughout. Many of these revenge stories seem to have the abused heroine turning into a vicious harpy who I end up disliking as much as her abusers. I like to feel empathy with the main characters, and I found that I...
