Washing her hands in the sink, Blayne wondered what was it about her that attracted the sociopaths. Her father didn’t call her Miss Black Etiquette of the East Coast for nothing. She’d feel bad for Novikov if she wasn’t convinced he was a serial killer. No wonder every team he’s been on hates him. He looked ready to pee his pants when Novikov skated up to him, glaring down at the poor jackal like he was moments from eating the kid’s face off before devouring his young.Īnd, as she’d heard about his on-ice attitude, Novikov had let the kid have it with a verbal assault that even Marine drill sergeants would think was harsh. Did he even know how to smile? Was he physically capable?

A man who didn’t look happy at all about the win or anything else. They were finally hitting their stride and making their way to the playoffs for the first time in years and Blayne was ecstatic for all of the guys. Blayne was happy because the Carnivores had won against another top-tier team.
