Rebounding With The Alpha Hockey Star CHAPTER 63
WILLOW“What’s this?” I ask, even as I take it from him. “It’s a sleep repressant,” he explains. “It’s meant to keep you up at night. I have one exactly like this. It helps out whenever I want to pull an all-nighter.”“Ah. I see.” I wear it on my left wrist. “Where did you get such a resourceful object?”“A witch,” he leaves it at that. I don’t press for more. I thank him for the band. And he bids me farewell. “See ya.” He waves. And for a moment, I think his eyes gleam. It’s gone in a flash. Maybe I imagined it. What a great day it’s been. I’m feeling light. Light enough to make some time for Aiden tomorrow.I’m not oblivious enough not to have noticed that I’ve been avoiding him all day. Not because I’m wary or tired of him. Something just keeps propelling me to stay away from him. To avoid him. It’s never happened before. Until now. I can’t explain why.***There’s a guest visiting the manor when I get home. He’s a friend of my dad’s and according to aunt Helen, he’s going to b

WILLOW The next couple of hours fly by pretty fast. Rowan covers all the basics. I’m thinking that mere coffee isn’t enough to show my appreciation. What else could I offer him for all his help?“That’s the last of it.” He exhales, leaning away from the desk. He stretches his arms above his head. “Wow. I think we covered all your courses.”“Yeah. We did,” I giggle. “I actually feel more confident now that I’ve been brought up to speed on everything I missed.”“I’m glad you feel that way.”“You should let me treat you to dinner.” I stare at my watch. It’s nine pm. Most of the nice restaurants off campus are usually packed around this time of night. Hopefully, we can manage to get a nice seat. “You want to buy me a meal?” he shakes his head. “I’m afraid I’m going to have to decline.”“Why?” I pout, batting my lashes at him. “Come on, you have to accept. It’s the least I could do.”“Sorry. It’s not like I don’t want to eat with you.” He gives me a sheepish look. “It’s just, I’m heading

WILLOW“Your dad didn’t tell you?” Vincent clears his throat. “I’m sorry miss Thompson but I’m not at liberty to say. If he didn’t say anything, then he’s got to have his reasons for not saying anything yet.”“Of course.” I roll my eyes. “Go ahead and keep it a secret. It’s not like you’re the ones being used as bait.”“No one is going to use you as bait ever again. Not when I’m here.”“That’s very reassuring.” My tone is dry. We get to the cafe. Vincent gets the door. I mumble an equally dry ‘thanks.’The cafe is busy with the evening crowd. There are students sitting around, drinking coffee and eating pastries. They sit in groups. There are a few couples that seem to be on a date. In the far corner of the room, I spot Rowan. His head is bent over a book, his brows furrowed in total concentration. I smile at the sight of him. I’ll be honest. I am pleasantly surprised to know that this new guy, with the piercings and the shredded black T-shirts is a core nerd. He doesn’t look the p

WILLOWOur new member, the one I’ve been hearing about, turns out to be Lauren Thanos. I’m surprised by this but I’m quick to hide it. The girls are pleased to have her. Apparently, Lauren is popular with the sorority girls from both houses. On top of that, she’s a natural talent. She passes trial with ease. Tessa and Jane show up for practice and it’s a tense affair, with everyone looking between us, watching to see who’s going to be the first one to stir up trouble. Thankfully, everyone keeps their claws hidden and we have a drama-free practice. There’s a hockey game coming up and we have a routine to perfect. Lauren gets a hang of the steps on the first try and I have no choice but to make some rotations, putting her in front.No one objects to the rotations. Not even Tessa. She’s been suspiciously mellow today, it’s unnerving. I can’t help but wonder what tricks she’s got up her sleeves for me. Perhaps she has none. Perhaps she’s finally decided to get along for the sake of the

WILLOW“I’m not going to have Tessa suspended from the squad,” I announce. “I know that’s what you’re all expecting me to do but I won’t. There’s been enough in-fighting. It’s time we put that aside and try to work together for the sake of the team.”“That’s not what Tessa said you’d do,” someone says. Her name is Vanessa. She’s in Tessa’s house. “She said you would try to kick her off the team.”“I won’t,” I assure her. “Now that I’m back, I’m going to make sure we all get along. It’s my duty as captain.”“Keeping the peace.” Ginny smiles. “I like it.”“Same,” Violet winks at me. Everyone else nods. I can feel the ice thawing around us. We order our breakfast. While we eat, the girls chatter, filling me in on house gossip. Who’s dating who. Upcoming house events. After breakfast, we head our separate ways. I’ve got my writing class to get to. Vincent offers to go get the car but I stop him. I prefer to walk. So, we end up walking together.People say hello to me on the way. They sta

WILLOWCary asks for us to go car shopping after breakfast. It’s the kind of request he slips in during breakfast, like it’s no big deal that he’s about to spend over a hundred grand on a car for me.“I don’t know why Vincent can’t keep driving me around the way he is now.” Again, I try to plead my case. “I don’t need a car dad. I’m fine with the way things are right now.”“Willow is right,” Helen says, siding with me the way she usually does. I grimace at the sound of her voice. I’ve been acting awkward around her ever since she told me about her history with Spencer. Not because I resent her for it. It just feels weird being in the middle of it all. “She should want to get a car when she feels like it. Not when you say she should.”“But she’s a Thompson,” dad insists. Then, he sighs. “I’ll let the matter drop for now but eventually, you’re going to have to let me buy you a car, Willow.”I know my dad. Once he sets his mind on something, he sees it through to the end. “Fine.” I agre

WILLOWI wouldn’t go as far as to call myself the kind of girl who goes out seeking danger. I know there are people out there, who get off on trying all kinds of exhilarating, dangerous stuff, but not me.Somehow though, I’ve ventured into the last place I thought I would ever go to. An illegal fi

WILLOWI wake up to the sound of my phone buzzing. At first, I think it’s just my alarm but it’s not. Tate Mccrae blasts at full volume and Violet groans in her sleep.“Ugh! Willow. Will you answer that already?” She grunts. “Some of us are trying to sleep here.”Blindly, I search for my phone, dis

WILLOW“Willow!” The best phrase to describe Jane Keller is “cunt licker.” She’s the kind of girl that would do anything to get in Tessa’s good graces. Rumor has it that she’s being in love with Tessa since freshman year. That’s got to be the reason why she’s so devoted to her.If she’s trying to t

WILLOW“We’re not breaking up,” Aiden says it like that’s final and I wish I could share his confidence, calling Theo’s bluff so easily and throwing caution to the wind.The sun is blazing and Aiden’s hair keeps getting in his eyes, amplifying that roguish glint in said eyes. Those same eyes are fi
