Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Claimed By His Coach Chapter 23–The Family Dinner
Lori Steward“So, Lori…” Eleanor Dominic, Dante's mother, set down her wine glass on the glass dinning table. “Tell me about your family… Where did you grow up?”We were currently seating in Dante's massive dinning table, the one I questioned why he even had it in the first place, until all seven of us were seated around it.Dante's mother sat at the other head of the table, and she had her daughters sitting around her. Vivian, and the twins whose names I learned were Celeste and Colette. Renée had managed to secure a seat near the middle of the table and her eyes were narrowed in my direction, even though she pretended like she found her food much more interesting.Now, back to the question that Mrs. Eleanor asked… There was something in her tone that I couldn't quite place, but it was like she was scrutinizing me and my life to be certain if I was someone she was going to like.Dante, who was sitting beside me, had his hand resting on my thigh beneath the table in what was supposed
Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Claimed By His Coach Chapter 22–The Fear inside
Janie CraneThe moment Silas left the room, I realized that I had been holding my breath throughout everything. My hands were shaking from fear. The look in his eyes, when I asked him if he still had feelings for Lori, haunted me. It was like I was slowly losing him. He didn't even take into consideration that Lori had tried to kill our child? And he was asking me if I was really certain that was what Lori did. Fear gripped my chest when I thought of one possibility… What if he knows? What if he's trying to see how my reaction will be to all these things. But then again, if he knew what I had done, I probably wouldn't be alive now. If he knew about the pills, the baby that wasn't even his, he would have killed me already because Silas was anything but subtle.I looked over at the wall clock hanging above my head, checking if the time was okay to call her. The only person I could confide in and ask for help because Silas was looking suspicious which was almost as dangerous.I threw of
Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Claimed By His Coach Chapter 21– The Council's Question
Silas CraneIt was three in the morning when I received the summoning from the werewolf council which consisted of the greedy twelve elders of the Glendale Pack who were never satisfied no matter what I did for them or the amount of salaries I placed them on. They always wanted to find one way or the other to ask for a raise.I tried really hard to keep my heart steady so they wouldn't smell my fear and anxiety. Had they found out about Janie's pregnancy? I hoped to the moon goddess that their summons were for another reason entirely.“You called, elders.” I kept my voice calm as I made my way towards my designated seat in my chambers. “Is there a particular reason why?”“Alpha Silas.” Elder Marcus, the oldest and most powerful of the council, leaned forward in his chair, and his next words would have made my legs give out if I wasn't seated. “We have heard troubling news.”“I assumed as much,” I said evenly. “Given the ungodly hour of this meeting.”They were not fazed a bit by my tr
Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Claimed By His Coach Chapter 20– Practice Makes Perfect
Lori StewardIt was quite early in the morning when I decided to seek Dante out concerning last night. I wanted to change from the flimsy pink nightgown I wore that was now showing my baby bump, into something more appropriate to wear when I heard a knock on my door.“Lori? Are you awake yet?” Dante's deep voice reached my ears and I hurried towards the door to open it, because I knew that even with the clothes I wore, it didn't look seductive. Dante wouldn't find a woman like me who was pregnant with another man's child, seductive.“Good morning.” I greeted him, and his eyes stayed on my face as he nodded in response.“You look terrible…” Those were the first words out of his mouth, and I felt myself beginning to shrink from him, wondering why I hadn't even paid attention to what I wore or even washed my face to look the least presentable.“I'm sorry… I'll go change…” I bowed my head in apology and was about to close the door and work on the way I looked when his hands held the door,
Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Claimed By His Coach Chapter 19– The Tension
Lori Steward I took a sip of my water, letting the silence stretch. Then I looked at her with the most bored expression I could muster."That's interesting," I said slowly. "But you're standing directly in my line of sight, and I'm trying to watch my husband on stage. Could you shift to the left? You're blocking my view."Renée's face went red. "Excuse me?""You heard me." I smiled sweetly. "Shift. To. The. Left."She stared at me for a long moment, her mouth opening and closing like a fish. Then she turned on her heel and stalked away without another word.*Dante came up beside me as soon as she had left, placing his hands on my waist and handing me a glass of champagne."I saw her talking to you. What did she say?" He asked, and I could feel the nervousness in his tone when his eyes darted to where Renée stood, exchanging pleasantries with other guests."Well..." I shrugged, a little jealous that this woman had a place in Dante's heart. "She's just certain you'll come back to her.
Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Claimed By His Coach Chapter 18– The Other Woman
Lori StewardIn the car, Dante hadn't spoken a single word. Instead he slipped out a photograph from his breast pocket and handed it over to me."Make sure you don't fold when she comes over to your side." He said coldly. "This is where our real contract starts, Lori." He held my gaze before he slipped the photo back into his pocket."Who is she?" I couldn't help but ask because that was the most beautiful woman I had ever laid my eyes on, and in the picture, she was smiling elegantly with a glass of champagne in between her fingers. "She's really beautiful."His jaw tightened, and the car was coming to a halt in front of the grand hotel where the charity gala was going to be held. "Just a golddigger. That's all you need to know about her."I didn't ask any more questions because I knew I wasn't going to get any answers with how his mood had just turned sour. And not only that, but my mind was on Janie. I hated that I was wondering how she was doing and if they had been able to save t

Lori's POVSilence filled the room instantly, and I had hug myself to keep my feelings under control because Dante's words had been so cold and devoid of any form of emotion. Silas' face morphed between shock to a series of emotions I couldn't name.Dante's words carried so much weight because ever

Lori's POVI couldn't stop thinking about him, even after practice was over and we went back home in separate cars. And every time his face came up at the back of my mind, I always felt my heart racing for no reason at all. Maybe there was a reason... Maybe it was because of the memory of his finge
Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Claimed By His Coach Chapter 6– Mark Me
Lori's POV I stood there like a fool with my heart cracking open all over again, watching Silas press Janie against the boards of the rink like she was the only woman in the world who had ever mattered to him, his hands roaming the swell of her hips while her fingers tangled in his hair, and I fel
