Alle Kapitel von Forbidden obsession ; She’ll be the death of me : Kapitel 21 – Kapitel 30

ZANE’s POV. Coach Reed suspended me for three games.Three fucking games.I sat on the bench outside his office, staring at the floor while he finished explaining everything I had already heard.“Three games, Jaxon. No practices with the team until I clear you for full participation. You’ll still attend team meetings and conditioning, but you’re not stepping onto the ice for the next three games.”My jaw tightened.All because I let one stupid asshole piss me off the last time.I hated sitting out.Hockey had always been the one place where I could shut everything else out. No classes. No drama. No expectations. Just the ice, the puck, the noise of the crowd and the game.Now I was stuck watching from the sidelines because I couldn’t control my temper for one damn night.And the worst part?I knew exactly why I’d lost control.Alessia.She’d been on my mind lately, fucking everything up for me. And just like a spell, I couldn’t let her go. I didn’t even have to think about it anymore

ALESSIA’s POVI couldn’t sleep throughout the night. I had spent most of it staring at my ceiling, turning from one side of the bed to the other while my mind replayed everything that had happened in the cafeteria.Adrian’s expression.The fight.Most of all, the fight.Zane had walked out without so much as a glance in my direction, and my heart sank even further.Adrian had really injured him, despite the wounds he had already gotten from the previous match.I had called Zane more times than I wanted to admit, but his phone had been switched off throughout the night. I was worried about him. I tried calling Mason too because they had left together, but the idiot was online, saw my messages, and still didn’t respond or return my calls.That only made me worry more.What had happened to Zane after he left?I checked my phone again.Nothing.I placed it beside my pillow and closed my eyes.Five minutes later, I picked it up again.Still nothing.By the time morning came, I felt like I

ALESSIA’s POV. I sighted Mason in a corner, teasing the student waitress, and from the blush on her face, it looked like she had fallen for one of his creepy jokes. I couldn’t blame her, though. Mason had a very striking look and blue eyes.He looked towards the door and smiled when he saw me.I walked over to him and gave him a sad smile. He winked at the girl and led us to a corner where we sat.“Do you ever take a break from flirting around?” I teased, and he puffed out his chest.“Not at all. And I’m actually interested in that one. Her name is Maya,” he said, looking at her with love in his eyes.My jaw dropped.Mason.Interested.In a girl?!Oh, the others had to hear this.I looked at the redhead. She was beautiful. Petite and also had blue eyes. No wonder Mason fell for her.I raised my brows at him, and he frowned.“Don’t, Alessia. Don’t tell anyone. They won’t let me see the break of daylight if they hear.” He warned, and I laughed.“Sure. Our little secret, then,” I said,

ALESSIA’s POV. The rest of the ride was painfully quiet.Not the comfortable kind of silence I had gotten used to with Zane. This one felt different. Heavy. Tense. Like there were a hundred things sitting between us, and neither of us knew which one to say first.I kept my eyes on the window, watching the buildings pass by without actually seeing any of them. My mind was still stuck on the questions I’d asked him.Am I just another chick to you?I hated that I’d asked it.I hated even more that he hadn’t answered.I swallowed hard and shifted in my seat, stealing a quick glance at him. His hands were still tight around the steering wheel, his jaw clenched as he stared ahead.He looked angry.Or maybe he was just trying not to say something he’d regret.I turned back to the window.For some reason, that hurt even more.I had expected him to laugh at me. Maybe call me crazy for thinking he’d leave me after a few months. I would have taken anything over that silence.Because silence cou

ALESSIA’s POV. I woke up the next day feeling weak and tired from all the crying last night. I didn’t even eat anything after I returned to my dorm from the hockey arena. Everything flashed into my head like a movie, especially the way Zane had nonchalantly replied to my brother like he didn’t give a damn about me anymore.I stared at the ceiling for a long time. I had a class in an hour, but I couldn’t go. Not when I felt like shit. I couldn’t feel my face, and my body couldn’t feel itself. I felt stuck in one place.Zane also didn’t even bother to check up on me after yesterday, and that suddenly made me hate myself when I realized the bitter truth.I had fallen for Zane Jaxon.I had really fallen deep for him. And right now, he didn’t even want to have anything to do with me. I was going to end up ruining his reputation.The thought of it made me smile sadly at the ceiling, then I heard my phone ring again. I didn’t need to know who it was. It was Adrian. He’d been calling since y
