Azrielle's POV

"What kind of nonsense." Mireille was still ranting the second our feet hit the pavement outside the bus. "Who does she think she is? Does she even know who you are? I am so pissed off right now."

"Wow." I glanced at her. "That's new. I don't think I've ever seen you this irritated."

"You're smiling." She narrowed her eyes at me, her hands waving wildly as we walked. "Uh-uh. Don't do that. Nobody messes with my best friend and gets off scot-free. I could've hit her in the face ju

  • Carrying the Hockey Prince's Secret child    Chapter 32: You Came

    Declan's POVWe were still jubilating our win in the hallway, adrenaline humming through my veins, when a deafening outburst shattered the noise from the far side of the arena.The floor shuddered beneath our skates. Shouts turned into frantic screams as people began running in every direction, a tide of panic sweeping through the corridor. My heart dropped straight into my stomach. The first and only thought that hit my brain was her.Azrielle.A venue worker rushed toward our group, waving his arms wildly. "This way! Follow me through the side exit—now!"He pushed open an emergency door leading outside, but I barely felt my feet moving. I just wanted to get out, to get into the open air and see if Azrielle was fine. We spilled out into the cold night among the surging crowd, and my eyes frantically swept the area, searching desperately to catch even a single glimpse of her.No. No, God, no. I couldn't bear to lose her again. I hadn't even gotten to tell her the truth. I hadn't apolo

  • Carrying the Hockey Prince's Secret child    Chapter 31: Fire

    Azrielle's POVOh my heavens, what just happened?His arm was wrapped around my waist like a steel band, holding me so firmly to his lap it felt like he never wanted to let go. We just sat there, frozen in time, staring into each other's eyes. His dark, wild gaze pulled me in so intensely, so dangerously, that for one terrifying, insane second, I felt the overwhelming urge to lean down and place my lips on his.I was still completely lost in my own dreamland when a sharp, screeching voice shattered the air."What the hell, you fucking bitch?!" Skye roared.The harsh sound snapped me straight back to reality. I regained my senses instantly, my face burning as I practically jumped off him, scrambling back onto my feet in the narrow aisle.Every single pair of eyes on the bus was glued to me. Jeez. I flicked my gaze toward the front and of course, my eyes landed straight on Mireille. She was leaning back in her seat, practically glowing with pure, unadulterated entertainment. She was enj

  • Carrying the Hockey Prince's Secret child    Chapter 30: What the Fuck

    Azrielle's POVI was still turning over Arthur's letter in my head, the same seven words looping without mercy like a static hiss in my mind.Declan intentionally lost the game to target you."He wouldn't purposefully throw a game just to get my attention," I said out loud, my voice tight as we crossed the damp pavement. "That's—no. That's absurd. I don't buy it.""Well." Mireille didn't even look up from her phone, her thumb flicking rhythmically across the glowing glass. "It sounds like something he’d do if he was desperate enough.""Give me one reason he would ruin his own stats for a stunt like that.""I can't." She held both hands up in mock surrender, her eyes sparkling with that infuriating, knowing look. "But I also can't give you a single reason Arthur would lie to you about it either."That was the exact thought making my throat tight. Arthur didn't deal in idle theories, and he certainly didn't send me hunches dressed up as fact. Whatever he'd written in that file, he'd wri

  • Carrying the Hockey Prince's Secret child    Chapter 29: The Warning

    Declan's POV"Declan, you won't do that." Marcus's voice chased me down the hallway of the club as I stormed toward the back room, my hands already curling into fists at my sides."You think so?" I spun to face him, my boots scraping hard against the polished floorboards. "I knew he was up to something, but this? Dragging her name into a scandal like this? Skye owes me an explanation, and so does my father.""Declan, you need to calm down. Seriously." He caught up, stepping directly in front of me, placing both hands flat against my chest to block the path forward. "If you go in swinging right now, you're going to mess up everything you've spent years building.""Mess up?" I laughed, a short, humorless sound that scraped against my raw throat. I shoved his hands off me, but I stopped moving. "Marcus, it's already messed up. Can't you see that? Everything I've built for five years—every single ounce of it—has been built out of guilt."I kicked a trash bin sitting by the wall, sending i

  • Carrying the Hockey Prince's Secret child    Chapter 28: Careful

    Azrielle's POVI don't know why I wanted to hear his answer to Mireille's question so badly.Some part of me had been leaning forward without realizing it, waiting on a single word he never got to say, before the synchronized chime of a dozen phones going off at once shattered whatever had been building in that silence.I pulled mine out and looked.The headline itself didn't bother me — SOURCES CLAIM CONSULTANT IS CAUSING TEAM SLUMP — that was noise, cheap and predictable, the kind of story that wrote itself the second a woman showed up somewhere a man used to be uncomplicated. What actually stopped me cold was the photo underneath it.I stared at it longer than I should have, running through every possible explanation my mind could produce, angle, timing, some trick of framing that made it look worse than it was. Photoshop, maybe. A candid caught at the exact wrong half-second.Except there was no explaining away a mouth pressed to a mouth. And from the way his hand hung there, rais

  • Carrying the Hockey Prince's Secret child    Chapter 27: Truth or Dare

    Declan's POV"You don't get to do that," I whispered, my voice dropping low, meant only for her. "You don't get to step in front of a punch for me, call me by my name, and then act like you're just a consultant."I reached out, my hand hovering an inch from her face, my knuckles almost brushing her cheek."Who are you really, Azrielle?" I asked softly, searching her eyes, trying to find anything familiar behind them. "Because if you're just a ghost... stop haunting me."Her breath hitched for half a second, but the cold wall came right back up."You're standing too close, Captain," she said, her voice completely even. "And you smell like you've had one drink too many.""I haven't had a drop tonight." I leaned in half an inch closer, holding her gaze with a sudden, reckless edge. "Look me in the eye and tell me you don't know who I am. Tell me I'm crazy."Azrielle didn't flinch, but her jaw set tight. "Looks like your captain is drunk," she said, raising her voice just enough to shatte
