Slap Shot Heart: The Carrillo Legacy CHAPTER 6
DOMINICMY MATE WAS THE MOST HONORABLE MALE I’D EVER KNOWN. Looking at him made me wish I’d entered our bond completely untouched, a blank slate, so that his scent would be the only one to ever mark my skin. The flickers of uncertainty that prowled through my mind were phantoms from my past—relics of the males I’d known before the moon chose us. My previous partner had been a jagged piece of work, never missing an opportunity to snarl if he thought I was becoming too soft or losing my athletic edge. He used to bark that if I lost my conditioning, he’d find a more 'streamlined' male to satisfy his inner wolf. He wanted a mate who felt like a weapon, not someone with a single ounce of give.After surviving a toxic dynamic like that, even for a short duration, it flooded my chest with a primal heat to hear my husband describe the ways he worshipped my form. Hearing him vow to cherish every shift and change as the seasons passed made my wolf want to howl in relief.There is no more potent

“Honey butter and apple preserves are already on the table. Grab the iced tea while I carry the rest.” That was the essence of my mate. He was hyper-aware of my needs. If he knew I favored something, he ensured it was within reach before the thought even crossed my mind. Whether it was physical comfort, food, or a specific suit for a summit, Aara had a sixth sense for providing it. He took care of me, pure and simple, even while managing his own professional sphere.There were moments I wondered how I’d earned such loyalty. In the grand scheme, him working overtime on a gala shouldn't trigger my hackles. The issue was that I was ready to sire a child, and it felt like the moment I committed to that path, he chose the most time-consuming distraction possible. It made me question if our internal compasses were still pointing the same way, or if this was his subconscious way of retreating from the next step.“You were made for me, Aara. You know that, right?”“I’m aware; and don’t you ev

DOMINICI WASN’T SURE WHAT TO ANTICIPATE WHEN I CROSSED THE THRESHOLD of the Carrillo Glass House after a grueling rotation at the arena. One of the players on the roster had been a complete nightmare to manage. They typically are once their jersey sales start to peak. Those once-humble rookies with stars in their eyes almost always transform into ego-driven divas the moment they get a taste of the spotlight. Usually, it’s a fleeting phase until a veteran checks them on the ice.With Harper Keaton, the transition to a prima donna attitude occurred practically overnight. She had one highlight-reel goal, but in her headspace, she was already the face of the league. Since I run the Carrillo Music Group HQ, the hands-on babysitting of talent is normally reserved for the agents, but she had become such a catastrophe that her lead representative refused to spend another second in her presence.“Hey, how did the training session go?” Aara asked, leaning his head around the corner of the kitc

DOMINICAARA WAS ALREADY PACING THE KITCHEN when I finally exited the training facility and navigated my way to the Cheshire estate we’d inhabited for nearly a decade. The scent of searing poultry and garlic hit me the moment I crossed the threshold; he was mid-prep on some elaborate pasta dish."Hey Aara, how was your rotation?""Stagnant, mostly," he muttered, his back remaining a rigid wall between us as he stirred a simmering pot. "Yours?""The usual grind. Tactical meetings, salary cap disputes, and cooling the heels of rookies who think they’re already Hall of Famers.""So, the same old circus, then?" The jab was delivered with a hint of his signature wit as Aara turned, offering a fleeting, dry kiss as a greeting."Sounds about right." I reached out, plunging a finger into the thick white sauce bubbling on the range. "Hell, that’s incredible.""I’m relieved you approve. This was the blueprint we practiced in the culinary seminar last weekend.""I completely blanked on the fact

DOMINIC"WHERE ON EARTH HAVE YOU BEEN LURKING SINCE DAWN?"The past several rotations had felt like I was drifting in a distorted reality where my mate wasn’t the same transparent, magnetic, and sincere man I’d been captivated by for the last decade. Aaron—the male who was once always waiting in our Cheshire den when my training at the ice rink concluded—suddenly wasn't. Not only was he absent more frequently than not, but he never bothered to project a mental link or send a ping regarding his destination.Exchanging our coordinates and full digital agendas had never been a formal pack law in our bond, but it was a courtesy we maintained to keep our scents aligned. Aaron had never given me a reason to let my inner wolf snarl in distrust before. Yet, his cryptic movements, muffled phone calls, and vague dismissals of late had begun to tear at the fabric of my faith in my mate. Our marriage was fraying in ways I never imagined possible in a modern pack dynamic.He had vanished again thi

AARA"ARE YOU PLANNING ON STAKING OUT THE ARENA THIS WEEKEND JUST TO ASSIST ME?""You're well aware I find digital pings far less intrusive," my husband’s premier defensive partner—who also happened to be his blood-cousin—shot back through the receiver."I’m cognizant of your preferences, Dominic," I countered, pacing the length of our Cheshire kitchen, "but I'll neglect to scrub the threads. If Dominic raids my cloud and uncovers the trail..." I allowed the threat of his alpha intuition to linger in the silence.Adrian exhaled, a heavy, static-filled sound. "Fair point. Daniela has some bridal pack ritual scheduled this weekend. She won't flag my absence for a few rotations. But what if he catches my scent in the district?""Improvise. Shift the narrative—tell him you felt a sudden pull to run with your parents at the old estate."Adrian let out a guttural, deep-chested chuckle. "As if he’d buy that pup-tier lie.""Do I need to transmit a reminder to Aunt Rosa and Uncle Tomas about h
