JOURNEE'S POVThe streaks of sunlight piercing through the windows was what woke me up. It was so bright it nearly blinded me even though my eyes were closed.It was too bright. Harsh. Piercing through my eyelids like tiny knives.I groaned, rolling over, pressing my face into the pillow to reduce the impact of the light. That was when I noticed how unusually soft the pillow was. Too soft. The pillow in my room was ... lumpy and ... sad.But this was different. This was nice. This was- Wait.My eyes snapped open.And the large hockey helmet opposite me was the first thing I saw.What the- I immediately jolted from lying down and proceeded to sit upright. Facing me now was a huge jersey shirt with the back facing me-a number 7 and a capital letter J plastered on the back, placed in a picture portrait.Hell, there was no way this was my room.This wasn't my room. How did I -?I hurriedly crawled out of the bed, my heart racing. When I finally got out, my feet landing on the floor, my ey

JOURNEE'S POVI was still smiling when I rounded the corner.The memory of Kingston's laugh, the way he'd looked at me when I asked if we'd slept together, the warmth in his voice when he said "Anytime"-it was all still playing on a loop in my head.I pressed my palms against my cheeks, trying to cool them down."Get it together, Journee. You're acting like a lovesick teenager."I whispered to myself as I walked down the hallway.Was this whole situation pathetic? Yes. But could I stop myself from smiling? No.I was so lost in my own head that I didn't see her until it was too late.Silver.She was standing in the middle of the hallway with two of her cheerleader friends-Kimberly and another girl whose name I couldn't remember. They were blocking the path, arms crossed, expressions smug. It felt like they'd been waiting for me all morning with the way their lips curled in a mischievous smile the moment their eyes met mine.And of course, my smile instantly faded, my walking slowing do

JOURNEE'S POVTWO WEEKS LATER ...The sound of celebratory trumpets, drums, and excited boys yelling over and over echoed loud in the hallways-so loud that I could hear it from my room, even though I'd been fast asleep.It was the noise that woke me up that morning.After repeated rehearsals, trainings, fights, and pointless arguments that stretched for hours between teammates in the past two weeks, the D-day was finally here.It was the morning of the semi-finals.I was staring through my window, watching the hockey players from Crestview chant on the large square below, forming a circle as they chanted.The energy from all the hockey players-Crestview and others-was through the roof. Today was the day only two teams would qualify for the finals, and among the ten teams, each and every one of them was sure they were going to make it.And that was exactly why each and every team was doing pre-celebratory rituals.It seemed like they were all trying to proclaim their 'victory' into exi

JOURNEE'S POV"Because you're mine. And I can't stand the thought of anyone else having you."The words hung in the air between us, heavy and electric.I almost didn't believe he'd just said that.He'd just called me his, like it was the most normal thing. If I had heard him say it over the phone, I could have called it bluff-that he was just casually saying it to keep me interested in his silly 'game' as Silver had called it earlier. But seeing him say it in person?It felt real. Too real. With the look in his eyes, the slight crack in his voice, the warmth in his touch ... it was too clear that he meant every word.I stared at him, my heart pounding so hard I could feel it in my throat. He was looking at me like I was the only thing in the world that mattered. Like everything else-the game, his father, Silver, his mate, all of it-had faded away."Then make me yours, Kingston." The words came out before I could stop them. "If you can't stand anyone else having me, then make me yours.

JOURNEE'S POV:I didn't even realize when my mouth dropped open as the visitors came from the backstage to the main stage.The whole crowd began screaming as they made their way on stage-people yelling at the very top of their voices, people climbing their chairs in excitement, and some hockey team players pulling their shirts and swinging them in the air as Coach ushered them on stage.Honestly, it was the last thing I was expecting.Coach had invited the rest of Crestview University.And the first person that came onto the stage was her.My best friend. Marley.She walked through the back door and onto the stage like she owned the place,-typical Marley-her eyes scanning the crowd like she was looking for a particular someone.And I knew that someone was me.She hadn't yet realized I was sitting at the front row, just next to Kingston.To be honest, I didn't know how to feel when I saw her. I was supposed to be happy my best friend was here, right? I was supposed to be happy I'd now h
