Sharon Carter Captain America Novels & Stories

"No regrets costs thousands. Maybe millions. Your clean image sold jerseys. Now fans debate if you are hero or hothead." "Hero to my team," I said. "Hothead to outsiders. I live with it. You spin it positive. Captain stands up. That sells too." "Spin takes time," Christian answered. "Right now frenzy is bad. Social media explodes. Clips of blood on ice. Your punches. Comments call you fake all along." "Fake?" I laughed once. "Good. Fake never won real games. This outburst showed real. Kade knows. Team knows." Christian stood again. "Team knows but sponsors do not care. One big one said no more captain on billboards. Too risky. All for protecting a dirty Russian."

I felt sorry for him, being a captain of a great football team entails a lot of responsibilities, commitment and expectations from what I've seen. "I really admire your strength and like you said 'you won't trade it for anything' So just keep doing your thing and enjoying it, cause there comes a time when you can't do it anymore, and I'm sure you won't regret it, okay?" I tried to be comforting and encouraging which I'm not good at. Ugh. I hope I made sense though. "Yea. Listening to you speak is a good feeling too" he said which made me smile and I felt a little hopeful

One in particular caught my eye. Dante Kade. Captain. Number 17. Ice-blue eyes. A name that came with a hundred headlines and at least five fangirl forums I pretended not to browse. He looked lethal. The kind of lethal that made smart girls run and stupid girls fall. I wasn’t here to do either. I tore my eyes away from the poster and squared my shoulders. The heel of my boot clicked against the tile with more attitude than I felt. I could fake it. I’d faked worse.

“Yeah. That about sums it up.” I let out a low whistle. “That’s epic.” It really was. Mason Reed getting his shit comprehensively rocked by the girl he’d treated like disposable entertainment felt like the universe finally correcting a long-overdue imbalance. I almost wished I’d gotten out of the car and helped. Elara’s phone lit up in her lap. The screen was cracked in a dense spiderweb, but still bright enough that I caught the notification in one glance before she could tilt it away. Something about a payment overdue. The name attached to it wasn’t a bank. It had that aggressive, all-caps energy loan sharks used when they wanted you to feel the threat through the screen.

After I quit my job to become a full-time househusband, my wife, Brooke Lowell, left me with nothing but a bank card capped at 1,000 dollars a month. She said children had to be raised with hardship to grow up strong, and was always worried I might secretly give our daughter special treatment. But 1,000 dollars was nowhere near enough to cover a household's monthly expenses. Every time the kindergarten asked for nutrition fees, I could only swallow my pride and beg for leniency. "She's just a child. Why does she need that much money? You've got some nerve, living so comfortably on 1,000 a month." I had thought Brooke's harshness was meant to temper our daughter's character. That illusion

She didn't even feel the pain. This b*tch was doing it on purpose. Deliberately humiliating her. The metallic tang of blood filled her mouth. Even Carter seemed to lose his patience. "Sharon, I'd advise you to be a little more restrained. Otherwise… karma tends to come back around." But Sharon didn't flinch. Her smile was arrogant and defiant. "Sure. I'll be waiting for the day it does." A flash of icy sharpness sparked in Carter's eyes. He wasn't someone who argued. He only gave Sharon one last, deep look—then said nothing more.

The person who had attacked Ashton a moment ago shifted back to his human form and shouted at Ashton. When Leonard saw who he was, he was not surprised. "You have gone against our values and attacked our alpha, the crime that you have committed requires you to face execution at the first light, right in front of the whole pack," Kevin shouted at the top of his lungs. Although he was talking, he seemed to be sending out signals. The wounds on Kelly had already healed and his subordinates had already brought him clothes. Ashton was still healing because his super healing abilities came from his wolf who was still under the effect of the wolfbane.

"Look at her, roaring like a shrew. Compared to the international superstar she was before. I have to say GK Pictures' taste is terrible. How can such an incompetent person be praised as an international superstar?" Another round of unpleasant discussions went around. Sharon's eyes were filled with rage, "What are you talking about? What happened to someone like me? Ah? I'm an international superstar, what's wrong with that?" She was ready to pounce on those who commented about her. Carolyn hurriedly grabbed her and whispered to her, "Have you gone mad? Do you still want your image or not? Hurry up and follow me home." "Image? What image do I even have when I look like this? I'm going to fig

Rain poured over the dark, empty windows as Damon parked his car deep in the shadows of the abandoned ambulance bay. "This is completely horrifying," I muttered, staring up at the pitch-black structure. Damon looked at me, raising an eyebrow. "You're the one who didn't want to stay in the car." "I didn't expect it to look like the set of a horror movie." A low laugh escaped his chest. "What, Captain Hayes's fake girlfriend is scared?" "I am sensible," I corrected, stepping out into the pouring rain. "There’s a difference." "I'll protect you, Carter," he said, taking my hand as we sprinted through the downpour toward a rusted side entrance.

Elara's eyes filled with fear. "To the person Lucian has been preparing for." A door at the far end of the laboratory slowly opened. A young woman stepped through. She looked no older than twenty. Her eyes were silver. Her scent filled the room. Rei immediately recognized it. It was almost identical to hers. The woman looked directly at Dominic. Then smiled. "Hello, Alpha." Dominic's face hardened. "Who are you?" The woman looked at Rei. Then back at him. "I'm the Omega Blackthorn created before they found her."
