Booktok Hockey Controversy Novels & Stories

Close enough that I did not have to raise my voice. "Who did you tell?" I said. Knox pulled a towel from the boards and looked at me. "Tell what?" "Don't do that. Don't look at me like you have no idea what I'm talking about." I kept my voice low because his teammates were still on the ice thirty feet away. "The whole campus is saying we have been sleeping together. It is in the group chats. It is on people's pages. Someone posted about it this morning and by now everyone has seen it. So who did you tell?"

"And I'm not kicking her out. She pays rent, she keeps to herself, and she’s the only reason I’m not failing Con Law." "She's a distraction," Elise counters, her eyes narrowing. "And people are talking. Do you know what happens when people talk, Aurel? The athletic board hears about it. They already hate that you got benched for a fight. How do you think they’ll react if they find out the hockey captain is keeping a freshman girl in his basement and paying her 'rent' under the table?" The hallway suddenly feels very cold. I stare at her, my pulse hammering against my ribs. "What are you talking about?"

She gave him everything; her fortune, her loyalty and her heart. But he repaid her with betrayal. Adriana Montgomery was born with wealth and power, but she gave it all up for love. She stood by Ethan Blake, her hockey star husband, after a career-ending accident left him in a wheelchair. She was his strength, his anchor and his biggest believer. Until tragedy struck. After losing their baby due to his neglect and distrust, Adriana discovered Ethan’s darkest secret. He was cheating on her this whole time… with his doctor. Shattered, Adriana walks away, tossing divorce papers in his face. But she doesn’t just leave, she strikes back. Behind the scenes, she is ready for revenge, se

I used to know all his tells. “You never said anything before,” I continued, the words coming out sharper than I meant. “You never told them to stop. You never even looked at me.” Silence stretched between us. His gaze dropped to the floor again, jaw clenched so tight I could see the muscle jump. “I know,” he said. Just that. No excuses. No easy defense. And somehow that made it worse. I hugged my books closer to my chest. “So why should I believe this isn’t just another way for me to get humiliated?”

"He's saying the slap came first and out of nowhere. That he reacted. That Jaxon overstepped because he doesn't understand what really happened between you two." The burn came back. Different from yesterday, less raw, more tired. The specific exhaustion of realizing that even the things that happened to you could be taken from you and rearranged into something unrecognizable. "Does anyone believe him?" I asked. "Some people." She said it plainly. "The people who already wanted to believe the worst about you. And the people who don't want trouble with a visiting Alpha, so they're deciding the least complicated version of events is the one where you started it." She paused. "But there were pho

“Get the fuck out of my face, or I'll scream right here and let everyone know, how much of an insecure bitch you are.” “What?” He asked, eyes widening. I shrugged, glancing past him and he stepped aside. I let out a heavy sigh as I walked past him, and headed towards my dorm. ***THREE DAYS LATER*** I was in the library studying, when a notification popped into my phone from the school's page. It was a joint charity and student leadership program always held before the annual Winter Classic rivalry. Every major sports team participates, in order to improve relations between schools before the nationally televised game.

"And I'll recommend that the league drop the investigation." "Thank you." "Don't thank me yet." Dr. Chen pulled something out of her desk drawer. A book manuscript. Thick. Printed. The cover page read: "Love on Ice: The True Story of Hockey's Most Controversial Couple. By Emily Chen, Ph.D." Damian's blood ran cold. "What is that?" "My book." Dr. Chen set the manuscript on the coffee table. "I've been writing it for six months. Interviews. Research. Analysis. It covers everything—your rivalry, your relationship, the blackmail, the shooting, the wedding."

It’s fascinating how quickly this campus pretends to care about the hockey team whenever there’s a scandal attached. Last week everyone was busy posting selfies in the stands. This week those same people suddenly became sports analysts. My grip tightens on the phone. “Apparently Hazel Rivers has been promoted from quiet student to mastermind villain overnight. Congratulations to the rumor committee for this creative storyline. The sarcasm drips from every sentence. Let’s review the facts for a second. The captain gets injured during a game. Instead of asking why one of his own teammates slammed him into the boards like that, half the campus decides the girl sitting in the stands must somehow

It’s embarrassing. “Am I actually seeing this?” I mutter more to myself than anyone, but from the way Knox nods in agreement, I know he heard me. “I wish we weren’t.” He pauses, and we trade a quick glance. “We gotta do something about this, man. Or we’re gonna be in for a long season.” “Like what? It’s not like we can just impeach him or something. Hockey isn't a democracy.” “It fucking should be.” He makes a point.

I lay back and looked at the ceiling, my hands supporting my head as I waited patiently for what seemed like ten minutes. "This is pointless—" I sat up. Hori's eyes were wide as she stared at the screen like she had just seen a ghost. I waited a while for her to say something but she didn't. "Hori." She turned the laptop around slowly, her gaze shifting to my face. HOCKEY PROSPECT KYRIAN MADDOX SUED FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT—SCANDAL RAISES QUESTION ABOUT HIS FUTURE IN HOCKEY. My heart dropped. I knew the bastard was cancerous, but this…this is way worse.
