Off Ice: A Forbidden Rink Romance 62
𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐭My headache was getting worse.I had noticed it earlier, but I had ignored it because there was too much work sitting in front of me. Every time I tried to focus on one thing, another seemed to find its way onto my desk, and I was beginning to wonder if I would ever actually make it home before midnight.I leaned back in my chair and pressed my fingers against my temple, closing my eyes for a few seconds as I tried to ease the pressure building behind them. It didn't help much, so I let out a quiet breath and looked at the files again.I had been under serious stress all week, and my body was finally starting to remind me that I wasn't made of steel.At least our next match was still a few weeks away. That gave me enough time to get the team prepared, figure out what we were going to do without Malakai and hopefully get some rest myself. The thought of Malakai immediately brought the image of him lying on that hospital bed back into my mind, and I quickly pushed it awa

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐭Apparently, Malakai's dad was a jerk ass. That was the only conclusion I could come to after standing there and listening to the two of them argue like neither of them had any intention of backing down.I took a slow breath and looked at him. “Mr. Joslael, this isn't the time for this.”His eyes moved toward me, still carrying that same coldness he'd had since he walked into the room.I didn't give him a chance to interrupt.“If Malakai wants to process his withdrawal from the team, he'll have to go through the proper procedure. That can happen when he's fully recovered and able to make that decision without everyone standing over him.”His expression hardened. “I don't remember asking for your opinion.”“I know.”“Then don't give it.”I kept my voice calm even though my head was still pounding.“I'm not deciding what's best for your son. I'm speaking as his coach, and right now, his withdrawal from the team isn't something we're going to process in the middle of an arg

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐭“What?”For a moment, I just stared at him, certain I had misunderstood what he'd said. Malakai's father remained completely calm, as though telling me his son was quitting the hockey team was nothing more serious than asking me to change the practice schedule.“I said you should begin making the proper arrangements for Malakai's withdrawal from the team.”I looked at Malakai, and the expression on his face told me he was just as shocked as I was.“You can't be serious.”“I am.”“Mr. Joslael, he's one of the strongest players on this team. We had scouts at today's match, and one of them was specifically interested in Malakai's gameplay. Pulling him out now doesn't make any sense.”His father barely reacted. “I don't care about the scouts.”I frowned. “You should. They're looking at his future.”“I said I don't care.”His voice was cold enough to make me pause. “This is exactly what I've been trying to make him understand. He needs to let go of this obsession before it

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐭“I was wondering when you'd show up.”I opened the ward door and found Malakai already looking toward me, a small smile appearing on his face the moment our eyes met.“Hey.”I closed the door behind me and walked toward the bed, dropping my bag beside the chair before pulling it closer. “How are you feeling?”“Better now that you're here.”I couldn't help the small smile that crossed my face. “You're supposed to be resting.”“I am resting.”“You're flirting.”“Maybe I'm resting and flirting at the same time.”I shook my head, but the smile stayed as I sat down beside him. He looked better than he had when they first brought him in, though the brace around his injured leg was enough to remind me that he wasn't anywhere close to being fine yet.“We won the game,” I said.He raised an eyebrow. “You already told me that.”“Did I?”“Yeah.”I frowned, trying to remember exactly when I'd sent him the message, then remembered standing in the parking lot after Reyes drove away,

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐭“We need to rethink your priorities here.”Reyes's voice was cold enough to make me straighten despite how exhausted I was. I stood in the parking lot outside the arena, still wearing my team jacket, my bag hanging from one shoulder while the noise from inside slowly faded behind us. The game was over, and thankfully, we'd won, but it had been far from the clean victory I'd wanted. We had barely managed to pull it off after everything that happened with Malakai.I kept my eyes lowered.“I understand, sir. I'm sorry. It won't happen again.”Reyes stared at me for a few seconds, his expression giving nothing away. There was no sympathy in his face, no sign that he cared that one of his players had been injured right in front of me or that I'd spent the rest of the game trying to keep the team together after it happened.“You understand?” he asked.I nodded.“I don't think you do.” I slowly raised my eyes.“You're the coach of this team, Rivera. Not Malakai's personal c

𝑴𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒂𝒊"It's a Grade 2 MCL sprain. There's also a bone bruise and a small tear in the meniscus."I stared at the doctor for a moment, trying to process everything he had just said. My knee was still aching badly, and every little movement sent another reminder through my body that something wasn't right.My father was the first to speak."How long will it take him to recover?"I turned my head toward him, wondering again why he was even here. My parents had never been interested in coming to my games before, so seeing them sitting in my hospital room after my injury felt strange. Maybe my father had come to see how badly I had messed up this time. Maybe he'd come to remind me that he had warned me about hockey from the beginning.The doctor looked at him before answering."If he responds well to treatment, four to six weeks before he can return to full contact."Four to six weeks.I breathed out slowly, letting the number settle in my head. It wasn't great, but it wasn't the
