All Chapters of A Chance With The Hockey Alpha Captain: Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Selena’s POVI stopped walking because I wasn’t sure I wanted to go back home. But something inside me shifted.I needed to spend time with others instead of being by myself throughout the night.School has been good. Peaceful. People tend to overlook their fatigue when they experience peace after an extended period without rest.I turned in the opposite direction to prevent myself from changing my mind again.Cullen and I never planned to meet each other.As I approached his house, I felt a small smile tugging at my lips because of what I felt for him. I just wanted to meet him.I reached his door with my heart beating faster because I anticipated what would come next.I knocked twice.There was complete silence at first. The sound of footsteps reached my ears before the door opened.Cullen stood shirtless in his shorts as he appeared at the door. His hair looked disheveled because he had just run a hand through it. He blinked in surprise before smiling.“Selena?”I maintained a neu

Ava's POVI began seeing it a few weeks thereafter.Initially, I gave no thought.Selena was always happy now. She was glowing. She and Cullen were consistent, they always came and left together. She smiled more often. She laughed without much hesitation.Then, all of a sudden she started looking exhausted. I didn’t talk to her about it until one Monday morning."Late night?" I asked as we settled down in class.She smiled lightly. "Something like that."I didn't give it a second thought.But I still noticed the same exhaustion on her face in the following days. I started watching her more attentively. She began to sleep on the table in class.Initially, it looked like nothing. But only a girl exhausted from a hectic week.Then it evolved into an everyday thing.Selena's head would slowly sink until her cheek rested on her notebook, and the teacher would glance at her but wouldn’t say anything. One afternoon in class, I nudged Selena's elbow slightly. "You'll get in trouble."She m

Selena's POVI woke up heavier than I usually was the following day.For a brief few seconds, I lay still in my bed staring at the ceiling and trying to forget. Attempting to pretend I didn't know what I knew.But the memory returned straightaway. Three different tests but the same results.I was pregnant.My hand gradually moved to my stomach. It still looked the same. Nothing on the outside had changed. But inside me, everything had changed.I shut my eyes. Going to school was something I had to do.I needed to be normal. The day had to pass without any problems on my part.I stopped in front of the mirror after changing clothes. I rehearsed a little smile and pulled my shoulders back. The smile came across as bogus. I attempted it again, more subdued this time. It was much better.“No one can know,” I muttered to myself.If I remain calm, nobody would pick up on anything.Nobody would ask questions if I kept silent. That was exactly my plan.School felt noisier than it typically us

Selena’s POVI kept waiting for Cullen to tell me.My heart skipped every time his name appeared on my phone. I got ready to hear it, every time he peered at me like something was on his mind. I had anticipated him finally bringing up Sweden. I hoped he would discuss the offer I had overheard. I had hoped he would include me in a decision that would change everything.But, he had not said anything about it yet.Days went by and he brought up ordinary events. Training. School. Jokes about random things. He talked about how much he wanted me. He behaved much the same. He touched me in the same manner. He gazed at me with the same gentle way but still said nothing about his going to Sweden.And that silence started to hurt more than the truth would have.One evening, I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling, revisiting the time I heard his coach tell him about it. Cullen's voice had been really thrilled. For him, that chance meant everything. I had seen it in his eyes.Then why had he not

Selena’s POVI know I can’t keep avoiding him forever.But every time I see him, my chest tightens.It’s like my body reacts before my brain does. My heart starts beating too fast. My hands feel cold. My thoughts become loud and messy.I don’t trust myself to look into his eyes.Because if I do, I might break.After our conversation in the corridor, things felt worse.He said he would give me space.And he did.He stopped texting.He stopped calling.He stopped walking toward me.That should have made it easier.It didn’t.Now the silence feels real.Now it feels like we are actually drifting.During class, I tried to focus on the board. I copied notes I didn’t even read. My mind kept replaying his voice.“If you’re upset, tell me.”“I can’t fix something if I don’t know what’s broken.”The worst part is he sounded tired.Not angry.Tired.After class, I packed my bag slowly. I waited for most people to leave before I stood up.I told myself I would go straight home. No stopping. No l
