All Chapters of Trapped Between Two Alpha Captains: Chapter 51 - Chapter 58

ELI..My eyes stayed glued to the bottle as it spun, clattering against the floor, hoping it wouldn’t stop at me.I told myself even if it did, we were all men here, mostly Alphas and Betas, so of course nobody would make any stupid requests. The bottle slowed as it approached me, and my chest tightened. But then loosened immediately, and it passed me.“Ha!” One of the hockey players clapped before pointing at the boy after Nathan. “Got you.”The boy groaned dragging his hand down his face. He didn’t even wait before he spoke. “Dare.”“Alright.” the hockey player grinned, eyes glinting. “Do that dumb dance I saw you doing in the locker room a few days ago.”The boy’s eyes widened. “Hell no.”Laughter erupted and so did our curiosity.“Do it!” They began to chant.It was almost like they forgot drinking was also an option.With a resigned sigh, he got up and began.It was awful.Funnily awful.Wild arm flailing, his hips rocking like his joints were out of oil.“Go, Timmy.” The ch

ZANE..One by one, everyone stopped running, they were now sitting, drinking water.But I kept running. Even when the air got thicker, even when the sweat trickling down my face, making me uncomfortable, I didn’t slow down. Didn’t stop.Couldn’t.“Take a break,” one of my teammates called from the sidelines.I ignored it, my feet slamming harder into the ground.Two days… two good days, and it still hadn’t left.John’s hand on Eli. The way he pulled him in, and kissed him.And Eli. He leaned into, melting into John, in a way he had never done with me. In a way, he would never do with me. That feeling returned. It wasn’t just my chest, it was everywhere. My heart, lungs, and stomach. It was like every organ was failing me.I pushed harder, pushing through another lap, and then another.But no matter how fast, how hard, I couldn’t outrun the memory.My knees buckled and I nearly stumbled over. I came to a halt, bending forward, hand bracing on my thighs as I forced air into my lung

ELI..I never knew silence could be this loud, could swallow the rustling of the leaves of the wind, until I sat beside Zane.Minutes had passed, and he hadn't said a word. Just kept his head down, fingers loosely clasped like he couldn't afford to tighten them.The more seconds stretched, the more the silence pressed against my ribs. I exhaled sharply. “Are you going to keep acting like I'm not here, or–”“Fine.”His words cut through me. I stilled.Zane dragged in a long breath, and not until he faced me did he release it. “I'll tell you,” he said, eyes boring into mine. “But we make a deal first.”I blinked. “A deal?”A dry laugh slipped out. “Of course, because the Lord forbids you to just talk like a normal person.” A beat of silence passed, and then I tilted my head, my voice softening. “Not everything is a business deal you know.”“If I don’t,” he said, “you won’t answer me.”His eyes lock onto mine, sharp and unyielding. But his brows dipped, turning control into somethin

ELI..“I had ruined it.”“I should’ve planned better.”The words echoed in my head as another car sped past without slowing. I clicked my tongue, stepping off the curb, hand half-raised before dropping it again.I glanced at the road again. The sun still burned our skin, too hot for 4 pm. Perfect.Without turning to face Zane. “We might have to walk forward,” I said.He didn't protest, just rose and followed. Zane was quiet, quieter than the road that stretched longer than I had expected. There were no other people, not many cars breezing by, nothing to distract me from his gaze burning into my skin.He must be judging me. I must have… I definitely ruined it for him. Imagine walking under this sun.We walked for a while before we finally caught a taxi.“Please, are you heading towards the sports campus?” I asked, already reaching for the door.Exhaling, my shoulders dropped as I rested against the backrest of the seat.The driver started talking almost immediately as the tires
