Novel & Cerita The Hockey Star's Remorse

Chapter 13 Adele Wilson I walked inside the ice hockey arena at exactly 5:30 A.M. My legs halted forcefully as I spotted Jason on the ice rink, skating. Fingers curled tightly around the hockey stick as he moved the puck speedily across the rink. I had pictured everything in my mind. How beautiful and perfect I would be after Jason helped me lose some weight as he had promised, but I couldn't bring myself to continue this. Not when my father's life is in jeopardy.

Jack hastened towards me and grabbed my hand, turning me around towards him. The look on his face was unrecognizable. He wasn’t angry, at least he didn’t look angry. But what was there was remorse and sadness and maybe a little guilt. “I’m sorry, Anna.” He said softly as his eyes cast to the floor. “You’re right. I shouldn’t have acted that way. I just don’t want to relive my past constantly and I don’t want people, especially you to think that my past defines who I am now.”

I cross my arms over my chest and throw my head to the side. He clears his throat. “I'm sorry for everything that has happened between us, Lira,” he begins softly. “I shouldn't have treated you the way I did. All you did was love, care and want me to be a free man again but I misunderstood everything. Can you please forgive me?” His words have a calming effect on my heart. “It's fine. I have forgiven you.” His brows narrow in surprise. Then he drops his helmet and hockey stick on the seat nearby. “Are you for real?” He pulls me to an embrace, buries his mouth in my neck while whispering, “Thank you.”

"I wish I could forget. Those memories are simply too painful for me, yet every scar reminds me that I can't." Karina was about to continue, but Nicholas couldn't bear to listen any longer. His Adam's apple bobbed as everything he had planned to say before coming was swallowed back down by the weight of each scar. What else could he say? All the words he had prepared now boiled down to just one sentence. "I'm sorry. I didn't know. I truly didn't know. I was deceived too." Karina felt even more disappointed. "You keep saying you've repented, but you still don't understand where you went wrong. Rowena is indeed despicable, but none of you are innocent either."

I got the truth out of him without having to say too much. I smiled, unable to help it. “Relax. I’m just checking.” He exhaled, long and shaky, finally dropping the tough-guy act. His shoulders sagged. “It hurts,” he admitted. Then, quieter—almost embarrassed—“…I was scared.” I looked at him. I became concerned. Too concerned for a stranger. “What do you mean scared?” He looked down. Like even the thought of it made him sad. “That it might be so bad, I would never have the chance to play hockey again.”

His eyes traced the road to the Arena. He reached for a sealed scroll, one that bore the wax insignia of an old enemy, and burned it in the fire. "Let the games begin," he said quietly, a twisted smile hidden behind his mask. The wind outside screamed louder, as if warning the world of what was to come. ****************************************** Sasha *** Still in her room with kael*** “ yes I was once into hockey but not anymore” I said keeping my face away from him. “ so what made you quit hockey "

"My Luna doesn't need my protection; she can handle those flies herself." "But I'm still really annoyed." He suddenly pinned me to the sofa, his wolf eyes reflecting my image. "So tonight, you're going to compensate me double." Before I could react, his kiss was already overwhelming me. Late at night, I snuggled in Damian's arms, listening to his steady heartbeat. "Damian." "Hmm?" "Caleb looked so pained today." Damian's hand tightened around my waist. "Are you feeling sorry for him?" "No," I shook my head. "I just think… he might truly regret it."

I shook my head and crouched in front of Dad. "Dad, I don't blame you. I've become a star now. When you miss me, just look up at the stars!" Dad’s tears poured down like a storm. Everything had finally become peaceful once more.
