Hockey Obsessions: Bound by Ice Chapter 20
Mila’s POVSomething felt off before the game even started.Mila stood near the bench with her arms folded, watching warm-ups like she always did. Same routine. Same movements. Same players running drills they had done a hundred times before. But today, everything felt different.“You’re doing that thing again.”She didn’t look at Jace. “What thing?”“The staring like you can predict the future,” he said, skating closer. “It’s unsettling.”“I’m observing.”“You’re judging.”“I’m assessing risk.”“That sounds worse.”She finally glanced at him. “Stretch properly.”“I did.”“You didn’t.”“I stretched perfectly,” he grumbled like a child.Despite herself, she almost smiled, but it didn’t last.“Go,” she said, nodding toward the ice.Jace saluted like he was being sent into battle. “If I fall, tell everyone I was heroic.”“You won’

Mila's POV Jace broke the silence first.“Okay, I’m officially famous. Someone asked me if I had a skincare routine.”She set her bag down, quietly as they stepped into the suite. “You don’t.”“I could,” he said. “I have potential.”“You have distractions.”“That’s harsh.”“It’s accurate.”He pointed at her like she’d just insulted his entire existence. “You’re meaner after the media.”“I’m realistic after the media.”Kai moved past them without reacting. He set his things down carefully, too carefully, like he was organizing more than just his bag. “Keep your phones away tonight,” he said. “No more checking comments.”“That sounds like control,” Jace said.“That sounds like prevention,” Kai corrected.Mila didn’t argue, because he wasn’t wrong. The last thing she needed was another video, another headline, another version of something she couldn’t control anymore.Across the room, Luka stood near the window again, watching the reflection instead of the view outside. It wasn’t subtle

Mila’s POVBy the time media day hit, Mila already knew things weren’t staying contained. The shift had started before the game, small changes in behavior that didn’t look like much unless you were paying attention. And she was. What she didn’t expect was to be part of it.She found out five minutes before everything started, right when she was still going over notes and trying to stay in her lane.“You’re needed for post-game media.”Mila looked up, blinking once. “I’m… what?”The staff member gave her a tight smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “They requested medical staff presence. Something about team stability and injury management.”That sounded polite, but it didn’t take much to hear what was underneath it.They wanted a closer look.Mila exhaled slowly. “Of course they did.”Across the room, Jace turned immediately, interest written all over his face. “Wait, you’re doing interviews too?”“That’s what needed usually means,” she scoffed.“This is amazing,” he said, already too e
Hockey Obsessions: Bound by Ice Chapter 17
Mila’s POV By the next morning, Mila was done pretending nothing had changed. Because something had, and pretending otherwise would only make it worse. Everyone felt it, but no one had said it. Until now. The practice rink carried that same tension when she walked in. Conversations dipped just slightly when she passed. Movements slowed to register her presence. It wasn’t obvious unless you were paying attention. Mila was. Her grip tightened slightly around her clipboard as she stepped further in, her gaze moving across the ice automatically, reading the room the same way she read injuries. Kai was already there, running warm-ups without raising his voice. Everything about him was efficient. But even in that, his attention flicked toward her the moment she entered, quick and deliberate before returning to the team. Ryder was already moving,

Mila’s POV Mila knew the suite was a mistake the moment the door opened and all of them walked in together. It wasn’t the size of the space—it was the lack of distance. The living area was wide, clean, neutral, like it was designed for comfort. One couch. One table. Two bedrooms. Everything neat, everything balanced… except them. Too many personalities. She stepped in first anyway, setting her bag down slowly, already bracing herself. “Alright, we are setting rules.” Ryder leaned against the wall like he had no intention of following any of them. “Definitely has to be good.” Kai stayed near the door, composed, observing everything without moving much. Luka moved quietly deeper into the room, scanning the layout in that subtle way of his. Jace dropped his bag on the couch like he was claiming territory and immediately stretched out like he owned it.

Mila’s POVThe bus felt… off.Mila noticed it the second she stepped on. Usually, the team settled quickly—music in someone’s headphones, low conversations, the occasional argument over nothing serious. Today, everything felt sharper, like people were paying attention to things they normally ignored.Seats filled fast like everyone had somewhere specific to be.Mila paused halfway down the aisle, adjusting her grip on her bag. Her eyes flicked across the rows, picking up small details—Ryder already seated, leaning back like he owned the space; Kai sitting a few seats ahead, calm but watchful; Luka across the aisle, still and observant; Jace hovering, clearly undecided but pretending he wasn’t.Yeah. This wasn’t random.“Looking for a seat?”Kai’s voice was calm, steady, like always. He didn’t move much, just shifted slightly to make space beside him.Before Mila
