All Chapters of A Rival for the Hockey Alpha : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

SkyThe final whistle was a sweet sound in my ear. Our team had still won. Even though I was… well, suspended from the game. All because of that jerk. I wasn't exactly happy that I would have to be picking pucks for the next two games. No, I wasn't happy at all. Because That was one hell of a job. But somehow, I was happy because I wasn't going down alone. I was going down with the one arrogant dude who caused it. Such a tedious task was a perfect punishment for someone with that much pride.My eyes went up and I saw him. Riven. He was standing by the other end of the rink with his hands folded across his chest, his jaw tight, and his shoulders pulled so far back that he looked like a statue made of pure rage. I could see the humiliation that was dancing around on his face. Perfect. That was all I needed to pay him back for that nonsense back in the suite this morning. And don't even ask me why I wanted to pay him back for whatever went on with the ‘Luna chick’, because I had no answe

RivenMy heart was beating so loud that if anyone else was in this room, they could use the beat to dance and the sound would not fade. My whole body was so rigid. But I managed to take a shaky step back, and then another, until I felt the cold metal of a locker door against my spine. I leaned on it hard, the cold a sharp contrast to the heat on my face. I released a breath I didn't know I was holding all this while, forcing it out of my lungs.Sky was gone. He had walked out without looking back and had left me standing here like a fucking fool.I didn't know what to say now. Like… where— what do I start thinking?No. No. No.It couldn't be. Right?Yes, it couldn't be at all. It couldn't be that I was just… letting him do that. Letting him put his mouth on mine while I stood there like a damned moron, frozen and doing nothing.I moved, dragging my legs one at a time to the bench in front of my locker and sat down. The bench was cold as I sat on it, but I could barely feel it. All I f

RivenI finally managed to get myself to the dorm after hours of contemplating how I would get to stay with a man I had kissed in the same house. My brain wasn't helping me at all and I would be lying if I said I would get over this soon. Because I wouldn't, and I knew my brain and Ford would make sure of that.I got to the door of my suite and my hand stopped on the door’s handle. I didn't turn it, not yet. I took a deep breath, closing my eyes. How do I face Sky now? Maybe I should just keep a serious face. Act like nothing happened.After a few seconds of standing there and deliberating with myself, I summoned the last piece of courage that was left in my guts and I opened the door while keeping a tight serious face. Just in case he was there in the sitting room, I wouldn't want him to see me looking like I was affected by that rubbish that happened back there in the locker room.I pushed the door open like I was bursting in, expecting to see him. But as I stepped inside, I met… an

RivenTalk about the worst two hours of one’s life. I just experienced mine. For any reason best known to the Goddess of Jinx, she had decided to glue Sky to my path. He was now like a plague that I couldn't avoid.Because tell me why this guy would be in this class. I had escaped him from the suite and my main purpose for going to that marriage course nonsense was because I wanted to get rid of him. But there he was. Again. Like a shadow. Like… how was he here? Just how could he be here? He wasn't even a Council member.Hold up.Or is he the son of any council member? Is his father a member of the council? Whose son would he be?Fuck! What was I thinking? This guy was here on transfer. I pray I don’t go mad before I figure out how to get rid of this jerk from my life.The lessons had finally ended after two torturous hours of both Lara and Sky throwing subtle shades at me.Lara had dragged me out of the class with her, obviously she was happy. For all she knew, I was here because of

SkyIt was morning already and everywhere was as busy as it usually was in the college . Students were walking from one end of the hallways to the other.I spotted Grey coming towards my direction. He waved at me even before I could.With a half-smile on his face, he walked up to me.“Hey, Sky,” he greeted, “what’s up, man? I have been waiting.”Oh fuck! I had totally forgotten that I had asked Grey to wait when he called this morning. I guess we could blame it on my wandering mind.I scratched my head. “Damn. Believe me, I had totally forgot. I just remembered now.”He laughed. “What class do you have this morning?”I scoffed. “History.”Grey’s brow furrowed. “Why are you sounding like that? You don't like it?”I turned to him. “Like what? I would rather pick pucks in practice than attend history classes if I was given a choice.”Speaking of pucks, I immediately remembered Riven, and the fact that I actually had pucks to pick for the next two practices.“But I do love history.
