The Quarterback's Redemption Novels & Stories

my words came out shaky as I fight to keep the tears at bay. “I know it feels that way, but I promise you that you are still the same beautiful, strong and amazing Stephanie Malloy I’ve known since I was 6. Nothing I mean nothing can change that,” she reassured with a strong voice, causing me to smile slightly. “Now let’s get this show on the road” she said almost immediately as the driver arrived. The driver came down and rounded the corner to open the door. Sebastian Torez. Fuck those green eyes. “Miss Isa-” He started but stopped short as those deep emerald eyes fell on my face, recognition and confusion flickering through them. “ Miss Stephanie?” Comes the very confused voice that I was

“They want to apologise.” Apologise. A word that tasted like metal on my tongue. “What are you up to, Gordon?” My voice was low, not accusing, yet alert. He exhaled shakily. “I’m a man who desperately wants to win back the only woman I ever loved, but mistreated,” he said with raw earnestness. “Do you think I’d jeopardise my best chance at redemption?” In his eyes, a genuine longing I’d once craved. But I wasn’t here to be won back. I was here to survive, uncover the truth, and hold accountable those who believed they stood above consequences.

He only stooped and took me by the shoulders, his callused hands steady and absolutely alive with something that could have been gratitude or fear or the raw, unspoken relief of having something he’d feared lost found again. “You okay?” he asked, his voice barely a rasp. I let a quiet laugh escape me, the sound rough. “Alive,” I said. The words were small, like stepping stones across a river. “You?” He nodded, then met my gaze. There were hollows under his eyes and dust in his hair and something like shame tucked into the lines of his mouth. “We bought time,” he said finally. “Not freedom.”

He was the leader of a new rival gang in my territory, that had been causing so much trouble for us. I couldn't believe he would turn on me like this. The thought of him once being my underboss filled me with anger and frustration. I never thought he would betray me like this. I trusted him with my life, and now he was trying to ruin me. It was a cruel reminder of how cruel this world can be, and how easily people could turn on you. I could feel the hatred boiling inside me, but I knew I had to keep it under control. I couldn't let him get the best of me. I'd show him who's boss.

Fury flared in Jane at the old man’s ungracious reprimand. What about how his younger son treated others? There was no way Toby would have been oblivious to the incident with the guards when they first arrived. Accustomed to his father’s attitude towards him, Ethan coughed and replied, “With the state I’m in, it makes no matter if my brain is rotted or not, there’s nothing redeeming about my physical condition anymore, but I still occasionally take it upon myself to help others cleanse their brains”.

I was head over heels in love with him and still am. Carson and I brought him the necessary peace. He could finally let go of his past and truly live his life. One filled with love. We were what he needed. We both were his redemption. The Alpha’s redemption. ---The end---

I hadn't played ten games in the last season and the way I was feeling, I didn't know if I would play again. I was going to be one of those quarterbacks that re-tired early. Shit, I was only twenty-eight, yet I felt like an old man. Too scared to run, pass, or do anything in case something else snapped. The guys were acting nice about it. Telling me to get a grip and that it was all about the game, but I was so fucking scared of doing anything, including sex! "You need to get back out there. What happened to Casanova Sebastian?" Mason said as he passed me another beer.

The sight of him standing on that stage, speaking passionately about his desire to change the lives of others, sparked a flicker of hope within Katie's heart. Watching Jacob, she realized that redemption wasn't a one-time event but a continuous journey. He had made mistakes, but he was willing to confront them and work towards a better future. Katie understood that forgiveness wasn't an act of weakness, but a choice to let go of the pain and embrace the possibility of love.

This was something that was weighing on him, it seemed and I realized that he might need to get this out and talk about it. “So, game night comes and we get out to a big lead early on. Being the quarterback, I don’t usually have a lot of jawing and arguing back and forth with the other team unless they can get close enough to sack me. Our team is so strong that it is very rare if that happens. Well, we’re up twenty-one to three and we have just came back from halftime. On the first snap of the second half, I can’t find anyone clear and don’t throw the ball off in time and I get sacked. He hits me pretty hard and I go down and we take a five yard loss. As he’s getting up, he looks me dead in

he asked. I looked around for Lisa and she seemed so happy I didn’t want to ruin it for her. I decided to dance with the guy but I made sure I moved closer to Lisa. I didn’t really trust this guy so I wanted to be close in case he tried something. We were all having a good time dancing, I was starting to feel a little more relaxed. We all went back to the table to have another drink. By the time the night was almost over I couldn’t hardly think straight. I needed to get some air, I told Lisa to come with me but the blonde guy named Jason said he’d walk me out. When we got outside I felt a lot better, my head was starting to clear a little. Jason was talking about something I couldn’t really
