All Chapters of A Chance With The Hockey Alpha Captain: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

Cullen's POVGradually, I sensed resentment building up within.At first, it was not loud. It was still, regulated, resting beneath my chest like a fire not quite ignited. I battled to breathe through it. I reminded myself that she was terrified and that this was about fear rather than pride.But the more she discussed doing it alone, the more challenging staying composed became."You are making choices alone," I finally said, my tone strong but not forceful. “About something belongs to both of us.”She delayed reacting. She just stared at me with those steady eyes that showed so little.“The baby isn't only yours”. “It is my baby too”, I said to him.As I uttered the words aloud, they seemed weighty.“I know that”, she mumbled."Do you?" I asked, frustration creeping into my voice. “Because everything you are saying sounds like you already decided how this will go without me.”Her shoulders stiffened somewhat.“I'm not aiming at excluding you,” she answered.“But you did,” I said.Be

Cullen’s POVI stood in front of her and tried to steady my breathing. Everything between us felt fragile, like one wrong word would break it completely.“Selena,” I said quietly, “answer me honestly. Do you want me out of your life?”She looked at me, and for a second I thought she would say yes. Instead, she shook her head slowly.“That’s not what I said.”“Then what are you saying?” I asked. “Because it feels like you’re pushing me away.”She wrapped her arms around herself as if she was cold. “I told you already. I can’t follow you to Sweden.”“That’s not the same thing,” I replied. “I didn’t ask if you could follow me. I asked if you wanted me gone.”She sighed and looked down at the floor. “You’re twisting my words.”“I’m not twisting anything. I’m trying to understand you.”There was a pause between us. Students were walking past, but I barely noticed them. All I could focus on was her face and the distance in her eyes.“You have a future there,” she said after a while. “You’ve

Cullen’s POVI remained where she left me.For a few seconds after she turned around, I honestly believed she would stop. I thought she would slow down, hesitate, maybe turn back and say she did not mean it the way it sounded. I waited for that small sign. It never came.She kept walking.I felt my throat tighten as I watched her move farther away from me. I wanted to call her name. The urge was there, strong and immediate. I wanted to say, “Selena, wait,” and close the distance between us before it became permanent. But my voice did not cooperate. It was as if something inside me refused to release the sound.I stood there, staring at her back, trying to understand how we had reached this point.Part of me wanted to run after her without thinking. I imagined catching up to her, holding her wrist gently, turning her around, and telling her that none of this mattered more than her. I imagined saying that I would cancel Sweden, that I would send the email tonight, that I would choose he

Selena’s POVSpring had just begun when everything changed.That morning started like any other. I woke up feeling heavier than usual, shifting carefully on my bed before sitting up. My back had been aching the entire week, so when the first sharp pain tightened across my lower abdomen, I assumed it was the same discomfort.But this felt different.I stayed still, counting slowly in my head. The pain faded after a few seconds, leaving behind a strange awareness in my body. I placed my hand on my stomach and whispered, “Not yet. It’s too early in the day.”A few minutes later, it came again. Stronger.I inhaled slowly and exhaled through my mouth, just like the doctor had taught me.From the other side of the room, Ava looked up from where she was sitting.“You okay?” she asked.“I think…” I paused as another wave tightened through me. “…I think it’s time.”Her eyes widened immediately. “Time? Like, time, time?”I nodded, trying to stay calm even though fear had already begun creeping

Jake's POVCampus news moved fast. It always did.I didn't even have to ask straight. I only listened. Hallway little chats. Bits of rumors close to the lockers. Casual remarks casually tossed about seemed to mean nothing.Cullen had left for Sweden.Several months had passed. He had not come back either.I did not respond right away the first time I heard it. I just leaned back in my chair, pretending it was unimportant.Inside, though, something changed. He really left her. My lips had begun to form a smile before I even noticed it slowly.To me, that was the evidence. Evidence showing that I had always been correct.Proof that Selena had acted foolishly.She had supported him so strongly. Drove me away from him. Looked at me like I was the villain for pointing out what was obvious.And now he had left her. The reasons he left were unimportant. Before he boarded that aircraft, it made no difference what promises he made.What was important was the conclusion.He was not here. And s
