I shot back. “Or consequences for acting like a drugged Kangaroo on camera?” His eyes narrowed. “Says the twenty one year old who dumped her drink down my back and called me a talentless pretty boy riding Daddy’s draft pick.” “Real mature.”He scoffed “You deserved worse,” I hissed. “You’ve been undermining me since my debut.” “Every interview, every presser, ‘She’s flashy but soft,’ ‘Women’s hockey isn’t ready for prime time.’ Now you need me to save your precious captaincy? Irony is delicious.”

The star winger of the hockey team pushed through the crowd with powerful strides, his broad shoulders cutting through the sea of phones and staring faces. "Asher?" I murmured. He was Kai's closest teammate, I could recall. His golden hair tumbled messily across his forehead, still glistening from morning practice, while his snug team jacket strained over a powerful chest honed by countless explosive shots and punishing hits. Asher was tall, confident, and moved like he owned every inch of space he walked into. He caught Natalie's wrist mid-swing, stopping her slap cold. His grip was firm but controlled and his eyes locked on her with zero patience.

(Adeline’s POV) “Dwarf, hurry up!” Juan’s voice thundered from downstairs. Irritation laces every word. I rolled my eyes while struggling to clasp the back of my dress. It was already 7 p.m., and clearly, he was getting impatient. Let him wait. He was the one who dragged me to his hockey team’s victory celebration. I could’ve stayed home, ordered takeout, and watched trashy reality TV. Finally, done. I grabbed my purse and headed downstairs.

“And you don’t want that to happen.” “I don’t want that to happen with a gun pointed at us.” Her arms crossed, that beautiful defensive instinct. “You know too much for a hockey team captain. Things no one else even understands.” “Side talent.” I glanced at the clock. Callum should’ve been on the perimeter by now. “Listen.” I leaned in. “I’ll say this once: whatever you’ve been feeling lately—exploding emotions, weird sensations, wounds healing faster—it’s not because you’re crazy. Your body’s not broken. Your body remembers something that was put to sleep.”

But still. My stomach did a stupid flip every time I saw him. Like my body was betraying me. Like my cells hadn’t gotten the memo that I was supposed to be done with him. And now there was a whole school-wide countdown to the big hockey match against Ravenshore High. The team we apparently hated with our whole souls. Everyone was wearing jerseys. Even teachers were talking about it. And of course, Dominic was at the center of it all. Every time I passed the gym, I saw him practicing like his life depended on it. Throwing pucks so hard into the net it echoed down the halls. He was so angry and so focused it was like the air around him shook.

END OF BOOK 2 The Mitchell-Volkov family's story continues in Book 3: "CHAMPIONSHIP ICE" - where new challenges in New York will test everything they've built, while Franklin's legacy influences decisions from afar and unexpected opportunities arise for Emma in women's hockey development.

JUNO HAYES “Rhett, look this way!” the photographer called, snapping his fingers as the camera shutter clicked in rapid bursts. Rhett adjusted his grip on the hockey stick, tilting his body just so, the bright arena lights bouncing off his helmet and pads. The whole setup screamed polished—logo placements on the boards, gleaming skates, perfect posture. This was an ad for a major sports brand, and everyone in the rink knew he was the centerpiece.

"The university boosters are watching your personal life closely this season, Hayes. We have scouts from the NHL flying in for the Stanford game next month. The athletic board is already hyperventilating about the family name, and I cannot afford a massive scandal breaking apart my crew. You are the captain of this team. Do you know what that means?" "It means I score goals and keep the defense tight," I said flatly, leaning my hip against the edge of his filing cabinet. "My personal business doesn't affect my game. I'm on the ice six days a week, and I'm playing harder than anyone else on this roster. What I do outside the rink is my own damn problem."

"Twice. You didn't pick up." I pulled off my gloves and dropped them on the desk. "I was on the ice." "I know where you were." She set the leather folder on the desk and opened it without ceremony. "Sit down, Luca." I sat… She laid three printed pages in front of me. The first was a screenshot collection, fan accounts and sports commentary, all circling the same exhibition game footage I had been trying to stop thinking about for four days. The second was a social media analytics report with certain sections highlighted in yellow. The third was an article from a mid-tier sports culture site with the headline underlined in red pen: *Devereaux and Calloway: Hockey Rivalry or Something Else?*

he said finally, and there was a grudging in his voice that caught her off guard. “You do this a lot? Making people feel less of themselves?” She snapped. “Whenever I can,” he admitted. “It’s how I don’t make sense of things.” “Well, my drawing is perfect and I don’t care what you think.” She added. He nodded, his gaze lingering on her for a beat too long. “Hockey’s like that for me,” he said, almost to himself. “The hockey rink’s the only place that makes sense sometimes. No bullshit, just the game.”
