Wooed Back By The Hockey Star 소설 & 이야기

"Since freshman year. I was the one who made sure the scouts saw you. I was the one who talked you up to the seniors. Maybe with your dad involved but I did everything to get you to notice me, Liam. I thought if you became the star, you’d finally see me. You’d realize I was the only one who really had your back." He took a step closer, his eyes wet and wide. "And then Jax showed up. Out of nowhere. A transfer with a flashy shot and a smile that makes everyone forget their own names. I watched you look at him. I watched the way you two moved on the ice. Every time I saw you together, it was like a knife in my chest."

"He had one." "So he had a condom ready." She raised her eyebrows. "In his nightstand. That's definitely not weird." "Roxie, he's on the hockey team." I gave her a flat look. "What exactly were you expecting? Virgins?" She opened her mouth. Something shifted on her face. "I mean..." "They're all like that." I tilted my head. "Every single one of them. Their captain literally blackmailed my best friend into a fake relationship. The bar is underground."

she asks tentatively. Coach Johnson raises an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips. "Do you want to be the one to tell her?" he challenges. Ari shakes her head fervently, silently praying for Miller and Owen’s safety. Without warning, Leia swings the hockey stick, connecting solidly with Owen’s back. He jolts awake, a pained expression crossing his face as he gingerly massages his injured back. The rest of us wince in sympathy, grateful that we're not the ones on the receiving end of Leia's wrath.

He wasn’t touching me, yet I felt suddenly conscious of him. “You think you’re the only one carrying scars?” he finally said, his voice quieter now. I turned to look at him, blinking through tears. He pointed at the faint, jagged line running along his shoulders. It was long and deep, faded with time but impossible to miss. “What… what happened? How come I didn't notice it earlier” I asked softly. “Hockey,” he chuckled “It happened in Highschool, I had a terrible fall during one of my practice. It's one of the worst hits of my life. I went through twelve stitches and I thought it was going to be the end of hockey for me."

Ophelia POV I never imagined that saving my husband's life would be the reason he left me for another woman. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Most Valuable Player of this season and the newest star of professional hockey, Landon Hayes!" The roar of the crowd filled the elegant ballroom as cameras flashed and reporters surged forward. I smiled from my seat at the front table, watching my husband stride confidently to the podium. His dark hair was perfectly styled, his charming smile lighting up the room as he adjusted the microphone. This was his moment – the moment we had both worked so hard for.

Hayden darted forward, catching me by the elbows before I could hit the ice. “Hey,easy,” he said, steadying me. “You’re not auditioning for the Winter Olympics so let's not go feeling cocky just yet.” I tried to keep my balance, which was hard when he was this close. “You’re enjoying this way too much and it's getting on my nerves. Don't think I'm just going to let this go.” “I told you, it’s payback.” “For what?” “For giving me that shit nickname. ‘Hockey Nerd’ really?”

The annual Intercollegiate Hockey Championship, hosted by my school, Willow-Hills High, had been a triumph from the moment it began. For the first time in our pack’s history, we’d clawed our way into the finals, a feat that filled me with pride. My boyfriend, Ryder Willson—son of the Pack’s Alpha and the fearless captain of our hockey team—had thrown a house party to celebrate our success, inviting elites from every school that had battled on the ice. The thought of it all made my chest swell with joy. That morning, I could hardly believe my luck. At twenty-one, I was just an ordinary Omega, yet here I was, mated to the Alpha’s son, standing in the most breathtaking room I’d ever laid eyes o

A tall figure in a letter jacket, sweaty dark hair, intense eyes that seem to be looking right at us. Axel Cross. The star quarterback. The guy every girl wants and every guy wants to be. He's supposed to be at practice. What's he doing here? Our eyes meet through the glass, and something in his expression changes. His jaw tightens. His hands clench into fists at his sides. He can see Professor West's hand on mine. He can see how scared I am. He can see everything. Professor West follows my gaze and quickly drops his hand, stepping back with a smile that doesn't reach his eyes.

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

My hands still remembered the warmth of his palm yesterday, the way his fingers had laced through mine like it was the most natural thing. I’d spent half the night staring at the ceiling, replaying that moment until my brain felt raw. Protection. That’s all this was. A shield wrapped in his popularity. Nothing more. I spotted him near the big oak tree, leaning against the trunk with that effortless hockey-player stance — shoulders relaxed, one foot crossed over the other. His dark hair caught the weak sunlight, and when he saw me, he straightened, a small nod pulling me forward. My steps slowed as I got closer. He looked… different in daylight. Less guarded than in the hallway.
