Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 184: Facing the World
Alex’s POVI woke before the sun did. The room was still grey and quiet, and for a second that old familiar tightness gripped my chest — the cold twist of anxiety, the voice that used to tell me I wasn’t enough, that I’d mess it all up, that I’d never really be free. Then I felt it: Emily’s hand resting over mine, warm and solid, her breathing soft and steady beside me. And the tightness softened. Not gone — not entirely — but shared.I shifted gently, careful not to wake her, but her eyes fluttered open anyway. “You’re up.” Her voice was thick with sleep, soft and calm.“Couldn’t sleep,” I admitted, sitting up and scrubbing a hand over my face. “My mind kept running. Replaying every conversation, every lie, every moment I was afraid to speak up. What if I stumble? What if I get it wrong?”She sat up too, turning toward me, and cupped my face in her hands — warm, steady, sure. “Listen to me. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be honest. And you don’t have to do it alone. I
Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 183: Growing Light
Emily’s POVSome days, I still stand in front of the mirror just to stare. To make sure it’s real. That this is happening — that after everything, after all the lies and the cages and the nights I thought I’d lose it all, I’m here, safe, happy, growing a life. My belly has rounded out, soft and warm and undeniable, a gentle curve that shows more every morning when I wake up. It’s not just a feeling anymore. It’s not just a possibility. It’s them. Our baby.And Alex? He’s completely, beautifully obsessed.It started small — a hand resting low on my back when we walked, a palm pressed gently to my side while we watched TV, his thumb moving in slow, steady circles like he was memorizing every change. But lately? It’s constant. He wakes up and the first thing he does is rest his hand over my bump and say good morning. He talks to the baby while he makes coffee, while we eat dinner, while we sit on the porch watching the sunset. He stops at every little shop in town whenever we drive into
Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 182: The Question
Alex’s POVThe evening air smelled like jasmine and charcoal when Kara and Pierre pulled up the driveway. I’d been standing on the porch for ten minutes, watching the road, suddenly nervous in a way that didn’t make sense — like this was the first real, normal thing we’d ever done, and I was terrified of messing it up. Emily came up behind me, slipping her arms around my waist, and rested her cheek against my back.“Relax,” she said, laughing softly. “It’s just dinner. They’re our friends. Not the league board.”“I know. It’s just… it feels different, doesn’t it? No secrets. No one hiding anything. Just people we love, coming over to see us.”She turned me around, adjusting the collar of my shirt with gentle fingers. “That’s because it is different. This is what normal feels like, Alex. People showing up because they want to. Not because they have to.”Their car door opened, and Pierre stepped out with a bottle of wine in one hand and a paper bag full of something that smelled like ga
Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 181: Soft Days
Alex’s POVThe first thing I noticed was the silence. Not the heavy, empty kind that used to fill the locker room at 2 AM — the kind that felt like waiting for something to break. This silence was soft. Warm. It wrapped around the cottage like sunlight through curtains, and for the first time in as long as I could remember, I didn’t feel the need to fill it.I woke up slowly, no alarm, no sharp knock at the door, no voice telling me where to be and when. Just the morning light filtering through the window, and Emily curled against my side, her head resting on my chest, her hand splayed gently over her bump. Her breathing was steady and soft, and I lay there for a long time, just watching her, memorizing the way the light touched her face, the way her eyelashes brushed her cheek when she shifted in her sleep.It was strange — this quiet. For years, every day had been scheduled, measured, owned. Every minute accounted for, every choice made for me. Now? Now we had nothing but minutes. H
Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 180: The Beginning
Alex’s POVThe official notice arrived on a Tuesday morning, plain white paper, league letterhead at the top, and I read it three times before the words actually settled in my chest. It wasn’t stamped in red ink. There were no sirens, no breaking news alerts blaring from every device in the room. It just sat there on the kitchen table, quiet and final, spelling out the end of everything Will had built — and the beginning of whatever came next.Effective immediately, William Sterling is suspended from all league activities pending full independent investigation. All personal and business assets tied to the league and the gallery are frozen. The City Hockey Club has been placed into independent trusteeship. No player contracts, sponsorship agreements, or financial transfers may be executed or altered without unanimous board approval.I set it down slowly. My hand didn’t shake. It just felt… heavy. Like holding something I’d spent months reaching for, only to realize once I had it, it wa
Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 179: What Julian Left
Alex’s POVThe knock came just after dawn — soft, deliberate, three quick raps against the door. Not urgent, not demanding. Just there.I was on my feet before anyone else had fully woken up, crossing the quiet living room in three long strides. Kara looked up from where she’d been sorting through printed statements, eyebrows raised. “Expecting someone?”“No.” I reached the door, but didn’t unlock it right away. “Stay back. All of you.”I peered through the small window beside the door — the porch was empty. No car, no figure waiting, nothing but the damp morning grass and the mist still clinging to the trees. On the step, sitting exactly in the center, wrapped in plain brown parcel paper and tied with thin twine, was a box. No label. No name. No return address. Just sitting there, like it had appeared out of the quiet itself.I unlocked the door and stepped outside, scanning the street, the tree line, the road leading up to the cottage. Nothing. Silence. Stillness. Whoever had left i
Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 4: Collision Course
Emily’s POVMy legs felt loose and heavy at the same time as I stumbled back toward the bar. The music pulsed louder in my ears, each beat slamming against my skull. Kara’s warning from moments ago still rang in my head, but I pushed it away. “Another one,” I told the bartender, slapping my hand
Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 3: The Dangerous Request
Emily’s POVMy body moved on its own, hips swaying harder than I ever had before, arms raised like I could push the pain out through my fingertips. The bass thumped inside my chest, matching the angry beat of my pulse. Sweat clung to my skin. The black dress rode up my thighs with every sharp turn
Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 2: Girls’ Night Gone Wrong
Emily’s POVI stared at myself in the mirror and barely recognized the girl looking back.The tight black dress Kara lent me hugged every curve, short enough to make me tug at the hem nervously. My eyes were still puffy from crying, but I’d managed to cover most of the redness with makeup. Lip glo
Accidentally Yours, Hockey Captain Chapter 1: The Kiss That Broke Everything
Emily’s POVMy laughter died the second I pushed open the café door.There he was, Lucas, my boyfriend of thirteen months with another girl on his lap, kissing her like he was starving.His hands gripped her waist exactly the way they used to grip mine. Her long chestnut hair spilled over his shoul
