All Chapters of Rejected By The Hockey Star: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

KaelSerena had thrown a tantrum, and I caved in to her demands the minute Aria had left.I just wanted to be alone, but I didn't know how to say it to Serena. The whole thing was a lot, and when she left, the bathroom became my sanctuary.The cold water ran down my body, streaming down my head and clashing on the tiled floor. The sound of the water washing down eased some of the nerves tightened around my shoulders.I didn't want to think about her, yet she's been occupying my thoughts constantly. The way her body would hug me. The way she smiles, even while uncomfortable. The movement of her body, even while clumsy. And how much she tried not to be affected. But I know she's hurt. I so much despise how my heart tightens just by staring at how uncomfortable she is.Serena was being too much. She was pressing on her intentionally; I could pick that up. But I was in a dilemma. I couldn't pick Aria, notwithstanding the fact that she's my best friend's sister, over my mate. Serena would

AriaSerena was fuming beside me, and I was feeling giddy on my feet. It felt satisfying to watch her face contort with anger. After I drank the water, another thought crossed my mind.Kael had been silent all this while. He hadn't said anything; he was just standing there in silence. I found myself counting every passing second, wondering what his response would be.Would he pick her side as always? Would he walk out of the gym with her and put an end to whatever this training was supposed to be?But when he finally spoke, I was perplexed."Let's continue the training."He turned towards the door, opened it, and then faced Serena with a neutral expression."Go back to the dorms, Serena, Kael said, his voice dropping into a flat, unyielding command. “I'll join you when I'm finished here."For a second, the gym went dead silent. Serena's jaw dropped in absolute shock, her eyes flashing with pure venom before she spun on her heel and stormed out , slamming the heavy door hard enough to

AriaI felt a banging sound in my head as I lay on the bed. I hadn't opened my eyes yet, but my head was screaming loudly with voices. I felt as if someone was beside me, whispering and saying things in my ear. It felt so loud that I had to freeze, open my eyes, and look at my surroundings.I turned slightly, feeling a backache, and my leg felt heavy. It might just be due to the training. Yes, my body was still adapting, after all; it was my first time. But the noise in my head was getting louder. I felt a buzz. I didn't know where it was coming from.I glanced towards Mallory. She was still asleep. I flickered my gaze around and saw that it was still dark, more like early morning, with no sunlight out yet. Then where was the voice coming from? I didn't understand.The voices tore through the quiet of the room—harsh, furious whispers echoing directly inside my skull. It sounded like two people screaming right beside my pillow, their boots stomping against the floorboards with a violen

Kael Ryder was agitated, standing with his eyebrows furrowed into a crease. His brows were knit tightly together as he stood outside, holding back from barging in. But I knew that meant things were bad. Most of the time, he would have brushed past me into my room by now. So, him standing there looking at me made my heart itch. What was he here for? Had he picked up on what was going to happen between Aria and me? If he had, what would be his reaction? Was it going to lead to a full-blown fight, which I obviously did not need right now? I did not want anything to damage our friendship beyond what it already was. I was trying to make amends as much as possible, even without informing him about training Aria, his sister. I felt that this was my way of making up for the things that I had done. Looking at him, I felt my heart squeeze. If he found out from someone else, what would his feelings be? What would his final reaction be? Would he blame me? Would he say that I was causing more

AriaI checked the post, and by now, the fear had left my body. It turned out it was nothing to be that concerned about. It was a post about a party, a welcome party for the hockey team's new players.And the venue for the party, I was trying to zoom in on, before someone threw the door open and barged in.I turned instantly as Mallory screamed into the room like she wanted to bring down the building. Mallory was strolling towards me, a phone in one hand, with a smile plastered on her face. Mallory did a dramatic dance while saying “it is finally here.”I was baffled. Apparently, Mallory was happy beyond reasonable doubt."What do you mean? What was here? Why did you just barge in like that? You could just wake someone calmly asleep. I berated , even though my voice came out shallow “Who in the hell should still be asleep by now? I'm sure they all left the rooms to rink, to watch Kael. He's currently performing, and we need to leave now. Mallory rolled her eyes.“Is that the reaso
