Pucking Forbidden Claim Unexpected Guest
Kade’s POVThe press conference is tomorrow, and I still don’t know if I’m going.Hockey has always been my life. The dream. The thing I built my entire fucking existence around. But now? Now, I don’t know if I even want it anymore. Every time I lace up my skates, every time I step onto the ice, there’s this weight pressing down on me, this constant reminder that nothing is the same. I can’t focus, can’t play the way I used to, and the thought of spending the rest of the season like this makes me fucking sick.For the first time, I’m considering walking away. Leaving behind the money, the sponsorships, the so-called easy life, and going back home to my mother.Back to the trailer. Back to nothing. Back to a life where every dollar matters, where I’d be working some dead-end job just to scrape by. It sounds like hell.But it also sounds like freedom.Freedom from him.The only reason I haven’t packed my shit and left already is because my mom has been calling me nonstop all week. And I

Kade POVAmelia finally lifts her head, her eyes locking onto mine with something desperate, something pleading.“Why are you here, Amelia?” My voice is quieter now, but I already know I’m not going to like the answer.She hesitates, then swallows hard. “Because you know people.”I frown. “What the hell does that mean?”“You can find someone,” she says, gripping the baby carrier like it’s the only thing keeping her from breaking. “Someone to take care of her.”The words send a jolt through my chest, my entire body going rigid.“You want me to give your baby away?” My voice comes out sharper than I intend, but I can’t help it. The whole thing feels too fucking surreal.Her lower lip trembles, but she straightens, jaw clenched. “I don’t have a choice.”I stare at her for a long moment, then let out a breath and laugh because what the fuck else am I supposed to do? “Amelia, I don’t know shit about babies. I have no idea what to do here. The only thing I can offer is sending more money ho

Kade POVI stand there, staring at my phone, my entire body stiff with shock and fury.This can’t be happening.This can’t be fucking happening.The baby’s cries don’t stop. If anything, they just get louder, more urgent, more frantic.My pulse is pounding in my ears as I run a hand down my face, trying to think. My body feels like lead, exhaustion pressing into my bones, but I can’t ignore her. I can’t just leave her there screaming.Groaning, I crouch down, hesitating for half a second before reaching into the baby carrier. My hands feel awkward, too big, too rough, but I manage to scoop her up, holding her against my chest. She’s tiny, way smaller than I expected, her little face scrunched up and red as she wails.“Okay, okay, I got you,” I mutter, even though I have no fucking clue what I’m doing.I bounce her slightly, adjusting my grip. Nothing. The crying doesn’t stop. If anything, she just gets louder. Moving towards the kitchen, I open the diaper bag Amelia left behind. There

Rook’s POVI stare at the baby carrier, then at Mercer, and then back at the baby carrier.A slow grin spreads across my face, and before I can stop myself, I let out a short laugh. “So when exactly did you manage to get a woman pregnant?”Mercer shoots me a glare so sharp it could cut glass. “Fuck off, Rook,” he mutters, shifting the carrier onto the table and unfastening the straps.The second the buckle clicks, the baby lets out a scream, one that practically bounces off the walls. Mercer groans, rubbing a hand down his face before lifting her out, cradling her against his chest in a way that’s both awkward and surprisingly careful.“She’s not mine,” he says through gritted teeth, as if that explains anything.Nikolai steps closer, eyeing the baby with a calculating look before raising an eyebrow. “She has your eyes.”Mercer’s head snaps up so fast I think he might get whiplash. “She has my sister’s eyes,” he practically growls, his exhaustion making him more volatile than usual.I

Rook POVBefore Mercer can respond, my dad finally speaks up, his voice calm but firm. “It’s too late for that.”Mercer and I both turn to him. He’s watching us, his usual unreadable expression in place, but there’s something in his eyes that makes my stomach tighten.“What do you mean too late?” Mercer asks, and I already know he’s not going to like the answer.Dad exhales, crossing his arms. “The second you stepped out of that car with the baby, the media caught it. Pictures are already spreading.” He pulls out his phone, swipes a few times, then turns the screen toward us. “They’re already making assumptions.”Mercer steps forward, snatching the phone and staring at whatever’s on the screen. His jaw tightens, his fingers clenching around the edges. “What the fuck,” he mutters.Curious, I lean over to take a look, and the second I do, I can’t help but laugh.There it is. Crystal-clear shots of Mercer stepping out of his car, baby carrier in hand, looking like he’s barely holding it

Rook POVMercer runs a hand through his hair, his knee bouncing like he’s barely keeping himself together. I can practically see the gears turning in his head, running through every possible scenario, every potential fallout.“This isn’t going away, Mercer. We have to give them something to answer for the pictures.”Mercer leans against the table, arms crossed over his chest, looking like he wants to be anywhere but here. “I don’t care what we say,” he mutters. “Make something up. Tell them whatever the fuck you want.”I let out a sharp laugh. “Really? You don’t care? Because last I checked, you were the one ready to rip my head off when the pictures showed up.”His glare is instant. “That was different.”“Was it?” I push, stepping closer. “You say you don’t care, but we both know you do. So let’s figure this shit out now before we get in front of the cameras and you start losing your temper again.”Mercer exhales sharply, pinching the bridge of his nose. ”Fine,” he mutters. “We say i

Rook POVMercer lifts his chin, eyes burning into mine, and I don’t know which one of us does it first, if it’s him, or if it’s me, or if it was always going to happen. But suddenly, we’re kissing.It’s not soft. It’s not careful.It’s months of anger, weeks of tension, days of regret, all crashing together at once.His hands fist in my shirt, yanking me closer, and my fingers dig into his sides, pulling him in so fucking tight there’s no space left between us. He bites my lip, and I groan into his mouth, and it’s chaos, it’s war, it’s us.And for the first time since I lost him, since I let him walk away, I feel like I can fucking breathe again.His mouth is still on mine, hungry, desperate, like he’s trying to prove something, like he’s still fighting, even now. And maybe he is. Maybe this is just another battle in whatever the hell this thing between us is.I don’t care. My hands grip his waist, pulling him closer, and Mercer doesn’t stop me. Instead, he pushes back, his fingers ta

Kade’s POVI’m fucking exhausted. I got so used to having Rook beside me that sleeping without him was virtually impossible. I don’t know if I’m hungover from drinking last night before Amelia showed up, if I’m still running on fumes, or if I’m just that fucking drained from everything happening at once.Either that, or I’m still drunk, and when I finally get some sleep and wake up, I’ll have to ask my dumbass, drunk self what the fuck I did.“You’re arguing with yourself,” Rook mutters, his voice laced with amusement.I glance at him, already annoyed. “What?”“I can tell,” he says, shrugging. “Just forget whatever it is. First, we do the press conference, right?”Sighing, I nod. “Fine, but then I need a fucking drink.”“I think you’ve had enough. I can still taste it on your mouth,” he winks.I groan, rubbing my face. “You’re not funny.”He smirks, clearly enjoying himself. “I’m hilarious.”I don’t bother arguing. My head is already pounding, and I don’t have the energy to deal with

Pucking Forbidden Claim Feeling Like Us
Rook POVThe last few days have been good. Kade has barely worked, giving himself real time to heal. I’ve purposely gone to train, making sure he has time alone with Harlow.He needs it. So every now and then, I fake that I have to train and head to the rink. Sure, I train, but not every single day. This is about giving him time with her, time they both need.“Have you decided?” My dad walks in, looking between us.“Does it really make a difference?” I ask. To me, it doesn’t matter whether Kade and I arrive together or not.“You’ve got to consider it. Are you going there together, as partners? Or are you showing up separately, like the rivals you’ve always been?”Kade smirks. “Maybe separate cars. Something tells me Rook won’t handle losing well.”He has no fucking idea.“Plus, I’m not sure I’ll want to sit in a car
Pucking Forbidden Claim My Prize
Kade POVRook walks beside me, his hands are shoved in his pockets, and he has that smug little smirk still on his face. “You really thought they wouldn’t bring up our marriage?” he teases.I huff. “I don’t know why they care so much. It’s not like you’re some fucking trophy wife.”He gasps dramatically. “Excuse you, I am a fucking prize.”I roll my eyes, but I don’t fight the grin tugging at my lips.As we reach the doors leading to the ice rink, I hear the sound of skates carving into the ice. Laughter echoes, followed by Rose’s voice giving encouragement. I step inside, and my eyes immediately find Harlow.She’s on the ice, her tiny form skating with ease, stick in hand, guiding the puck forward.I stop walking.Rook keeps going, not noticing until he glances back at me. “What?”I gesture toward the rink. “She’s... ac
Pucking Forbidden Claim Press Release
Kade POVI walk into the stadium, Rook right beside me. We brought Harlow along, and she and Rose are going to skate for a bit. It gives her something to do, and afterward, we can join her as well.“So, no punching people, right?” Rook glances at me.“You are telling me?” I scoff. “I am pretty sure you would be the one to punch a reporter, not me.”His head tilts slightly, a smirk playing on his lips. “I don’t know. You have always hated them, but now you can punch them, and it doesn’t even matter. You’re quitting, what are they going to do? Force you to play more as punishment?”Rolling my eyes, I shove him, but he barely moves. Instead, he wraps his arms around me, pulling me in tight.“I’m offended, Mercer. Look at you, shoving me,” he teases, his grip tightening. “You should be glad the cameras didn’t catch it... Abuse. Damn,
Pucking Forbidden Claim Movie Day
Rook POVI lean back, pulling him with me until we’re both lying down, my arm wrapped around him, his head resting against my chest.“She doesn’t deserve you,” I whisper.“I know,” he murmurs.“But you still won’t let her die alone. You love her, she's your mom, that doesn't change.”He doesn’t answer, but he doesn’t have to. I already know.The sound of muffled giggling pulls me from sleep, followed by the unmistakable rustling of movement on the bed. I blink my eyes open, groggy and disoriented, only to find two pairs of eyes staring right at me, one mischievous, the other excited.Harlow is sitting cross-legged at the foot of the bed, balancing a plate on her lap, while Kade leans back against the pillows with a tray in front of him, looking way too pleased with himself for this early in the morning.I glance between them, rubbing a hand over my face. “W
Pucking Forbidden Claim His Choices
Rook POVI don’t say anything, I just reach for his wrist and guide him toward our room. He doesn’t fight me or try to pull away. His breathing is steady, but I can feel the tension in the way he moves, in the way his fingers flex like he’s trying to keep control of himself.The second we step inside, I shut the door behind us, locking out the rest of the world. Kade stands there for a moment, staring at nothing, clearly lost in his own head.I walk over to him and place my hands on his shoulders. He still doesn’t move, so I squeeze lightly, grounding him. “You did the right thing,” I say quietly.He lets out a breath, a slow, shaky one that tells me just how much this is weighing on him. “I don’t know if it was the right thing,” he mutters. “I just know sending her away wouldn’t have changed anything.”Nodding, I step closer. “That’s the right thin
Pucking Forbidden Claim Speaking To Her
Kade POVI let out a sharp laugh. “What’s there to deal with? She didn't care, she used me for money and tried to gain more. She made her choices. She doesn’t get to come back now just because she’s running out of time.”“You don’t have to forgive her,” he says, leaning forward against the desk. “But you’re going to regret it if you don’t talk to her before it’s too late.”I scoff, shaking my head. “No, I won’t.”“You will.”The certainty in his tone pisses me off more than anything else. “You don’t know that.”“I do, because I’ve seen it before,” he counters, voice sharp now. “I’ve watched men in this life lose people they swore they didn’t care about, and then I’ve watched them drown in the weight of it after they were gone.”I shake my head, refusing to listen.
Pucking Forbidden Claim Not Welcome
Kade POVHarlow is relentless. She’s covering me in pink plasters, wrapping me in bandages, and holding ice directly against my skin. Not an ice pack, not wrapped in a towel, literal chunks of ice.Rook, of course, is grinning like this is the best thing he’s ever seen.I don’t complain, though. At least I get to see her, spend time with her, even if it means enduring her questionable medical care. She sticks another plaster onto my arm, nowhere near the actual injuries, and I can’t help but wonder why.“Daddy Rook,” she nudges him, her little voice full of authority. “Daddy Mercer needs ice cream.”Oh, this is good. I lean back more, smirking. “Yeah, Daddy Rook, I need ice cream.”Rook glares at me before turning back to her. “We don’t have any, princess. You finished it before we left.”She gasps dramatically. “No! Not our ice cream, Gelato Heave
Pucking Forbidden Claim A Plan
Rook POVFacing her, I decide to ease into it. “So, I spoke to Daddy Mercer,” I say, watching as her eyes light up instantly.“Is he having fun with Aunt Amelia?” she asks, tilting her head.“He was,” I say, dragging out the word before shaking my head like I’m disappointed.Her little brows furrow. “What did Daddy Mercer do now?” she exclaims, throwing her hands up like she already knows it’s going to be something ridiculous.I sigh dramatically. “Well, he went to play hockey.”She blinks at me. “That’s not stupid. Daddy Mercer does stupid stuff.”Snorting, I nod. “True, but him trying to check someone and instead tripping over his own feet, slamming into the ice, and smashing his face definitely was.”She gasps before bursting into laughter, her giggles so loud even the soldiers and capo glance over. She clutches her stomach, barely able to catch her breath. “He fell?” she wheezes between laughs.“Flat on his
Pucking Forbidden Claim Breakfast
Rook POVWhen I wake, I’m still in bed with Rook wrapped around me. My eyes fall on the ring, and I’m glad I gave it to him. Even if the whole thing was hard. We need something so that I don’t have to stay locked in this bedroom, avoiding Harlow.If I’m going to be home resting, I should get to spend time with her. But I also know I have no idea my mom is still here. Courtesy of my father. Not today. For today, I can stay in the bedroom, and Rook will figure out something to tell Harlow to explain the bruises and broken fingers.Sliding out of bed, I go downstairs, and she’s already in the kitchen with Rose.“Let me guess, pancakes?”“No!” Harlow smiles at me.“Wait, no? You can’t go changing the routine, I want pancakes!” I joke, and she laughs.“She’s discovered the waffle maker.”Oh... “Well, I’m on board with waffles as well.”Standing here, we make waffles, and she talks away. After, I grab a plate and take them up
