All Chapters of Trapped Between Two Alpha Captains: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

ZANE..The sharp thrill of the whistle sliced through the chill air of the arena.I pushed myself off, but instead of gliding, my skate cut deep into the ice. Not enough to make me fall, but enough to throw everything off. Trying to fix it, I lifted my legs, but the next stride dug in again, making my turn a second too late, and I almost missed the puck. I maneuvered through the heavy hesitation, and I tried to glide over the ice.With a sharp flick of my stick,” I sent the puck flying. As it clacked into the net, the red light flashed—a goal.A roar erupted from the crowd. But I barely heard it, my eyes dropped back to my skate. I tried to analyze what had gone wrong with it.I had used it a few days back and it was nothing like this. I remembered how John had behaved. He must have done something to it.The plate resumed before I could finish thinking. The opposing winger charged at me, his huge figure slicing through the air.Under normal circumstances, I’d bump into him and

ZANE..The cool air in my apartment did nothing to soothe the heat prickling beneath my skin as I stared at his text.ELI: Sorry, morning sickness. I need to rest some more.I tossed my phone on the spot beside me as I leaned back into the chair. “That’s it. I think he is avoiding me.”Across from me, Dempsey shifted his attention from the game to me. Who’s avoiding you? Eli?”My brows pulled together. “Who else?” A scowl formed on my face. “He’s definitely dodging me.” My voice came out firmer this time.“What did you do to him?” Dempsey let out a dry laugh, his fingers still working the game console. I wanted to say nothing. But there’s no way Eli would avoid me for no reason. And there’s only one thing that came to mind.“The only thing I can think of,” I began, “is that Eli met Amara.”“Your fiancée?” Dempsey’s voice dropped, his shoulders straightening. “Please don’t tell me you introduced her as your fiancée?”“I didn’t,” I said, voice flat.Dempsey began to exhale, until I a

ZANE..The road was still busy, I had passed the shorter route back, but the drive was quiet.Occasionally, my gaze would slide to the empty seat beside me. I’ll stare at it for a second too long.I remembered the way he had pouted when he admitted he didn’t want another man to have my number.That thought made the quiet drive bearable.Then another realization hit me.Dempsey is going to kill me.I pushed open the door of my apartment and I headed in.Dempsey was still on the couch, the game console still in his hand.“How did it go?” He didn’t take his eyes off the game.I slipped my shoes off and slid into my flip-flops. “Well, I hope he responds to my text from now on,” I said, heading into the kitchen and taking out a bottle of water.I stood before him. “You might’ve to pause your game for what I’m about to tell you.”Dempsey furrowed his brows. “Go ahead, I’m playing with my hands, not my ears.”“Someone might call you.”His attention was still not on the game. “Why?”“I ga

ELI..The first thing I did after waking up was to boil the herbs, the earthy aroma covering the four corners of the room.I’d read through the book last night—twice. And here I was, reading it again.Louis yawned as he stood behind me, rubbing his eyes. “You’re already making it?” he asked before speaking into his phone. “He’s already making it.”I turned to him. Louis ended the call. “She called to remind you to take the herb.” He let out another yawn.“I like your mother.” I smiled.“She likes you too,” Louis said, helping me with a mug. “Who knows she might finally stop talking me into having a baby?”That earned a laugh from me.After drinking the herbal tea, Louis and I had breakfast. Then I had my shower.Opening the wardrobe, I traced the rows of my oversized hoodies. I stopped at a light button shirt.Standing before the mirror, I buttoned up the shirt, my eyes tracing the gentle curve of my stomach, which was still there. Not obvious—just visible.For a moment, I left

ELI..An awkward silence filled the lounge with Zane rigid behind me.I shouldn’t have asked.I shouldn’t have said anything.It would be really nice if the Earth opened up and swallowed me whole at this point.I dug a nail into the cue stick, the insides of my hands itchy and growing moist.My heart hammered, so loud, it pulsed in my throat. With each second the silence grew longer, It worsened, my stomach twisting in multiple knots.Zane suddenly stepped away from behind me, and I had never felt so cold in my entire life.He leaned casually against the edge of the pool table. I couldn’t look at him—couldn’t dare to do that.Summoning some courage I glanced at him through the corner of my eye,“Have I ever wanted something so badly…” He rubbed at his chin. “…that I’d walk away from everything else just to have it?” He repeated my question.My chest squeezed tighter and tighter.“Walk away from everything just to have something I want so badly.” He repeated.My body stiffened.Zan
