Hockey Alphas - Pawns For Pucks 51. Just Being There
The ice shimmered under the bright arena lights as I skated hard down the rink, pushing the team forward. A defender from the opposing team almost collided me, but Bear crashed into him with such force that the guy sprawled into the boards. I aimed quickly, sending a shot hurtling toward the goal. The goalie stretched desperately to block it, but the puck slipped right between his legs. The crowd erupted, a sea of cheers echoing off the rink's walls. I skated around the goal, my stick held high, adrenaline pumping through my veins. I loved this. This feeling. This moment right here. His eyes met mine as I passed the goalie, and I froze. They weren't just blue. They glowed a vivid and electric blue that popped from under his helmet. Startled, I glanced up at the stands and saw more faces with those same glowing blue eyes staring back at me. I gasped, and the crowd fell silent. I startled awake, drenched in sweat and gasping for air. I realized I was alone in Adrien's

I ended up staying awake for the rest of the night. Partly to ensure Adrien stayed in bed and partly because I was trying to avoid another nightmare. They'd been happening more frequently, and the vivid images of glowing blue eyes still lingered in my mind.Adrien finally stirred around the time the sun started peeking through the curtains. He opened his eyes, giving me the strangest look before rolling over, burying his face in the pillow I'd been using.He mumbled, his voice muffled through the pillow, "Did you stay awake all night or something?"I laughed. "Well, yeah. After finding you in the bathtub, I didn't want to risk waking up and finding you on the roof or something."He rolled over with a puzzled look. "Bathtub?"He didn't remember any of that? I opened my mouth to explain, but he flashed me a grin. "Just kidding."I playfully punched him on the arm, and he yelped dramatically. "Whatever, I didn't hurt you."Adrien sat up, rubbing his head. "Damn, I have the worst heada
Hockey Alphas - Pawns For Pucks 53. Starving
After the unexpected situation in the communal showers, I headed back to my room. They had continued their activities as if I wasn't even there. I rushed through the shower and took a chance not putting my binder on before darting back down the hall to my dorm. I didn't want to be in the shower anymore. They needed their privacy, even if they didn't care enough for it themselves. I tossed my bag onto the floor and flopped on Alec's mattress. I inhaled deeply, then I grabbed one of his pillows and buried my face in it. Alec's distinct scent filled my senses. I hadn't realized how much I'd missed it until that moment. When Alec finally let his guard down, I really started enjoying just being near him. It had all become so routine, a rhythm I'd grown accustomed to even when we occasionally butted heads. Something reassuring about his presence kept me level, even when things got messy. I rolled onto my back, staring up at the bottom of my mattress, the pillow still pressed agains

I got up from Alec's bed, smoothing the sheets and pulling everything tight in the meticulous way he always did. The last thing I wanted was for him to know I'd been rolling around on his bed while he was gone.Jules and I headed down to the dining hall. A few guys were milling around, but the hall was mostly dead. Jules piled his plate high while I grabbed a bowl of cereal and some fruit. We sat across from each other.Jules eyed my plate. "Dude, you're never hungry," he said.I laughed. "Well, you eat enough for both of us."He shrugged, digging into his food. "Yeah, well, I feel like I'm growing a damn inch a day. This shit is crazy."He was talking about puberty, which was still a work in progress it seemed. He was one of the ones actively going through it, and I made a mental note to watch his behavior. While his desires wouldn't precisely mirror the others', maybe I could learn a thing or two. I needed to start figuring out how I was going to fake male puberty while secretly go

Adrien and I bundled up as best we could before heading out into the storm, but as soon as we stepped outside, the icy wind lashed against us, the snow whipping through the air like a wall of white. Adrien grabbed my arm firmly and pulled me along. "Come on, this way!" he called. I squinted against the stinging flakes and kept close, trusting Adrien's familiarity with the path to guide us through the blinding snow. It felt like an eternity before we finally reached the dining hall, shivering and covered in a thick layer of frost. We stomped the snow from our boots and shed our layers, our faces flushed from the cold as we made our way to the buffet. We loaded up our trays, Adrien filling his plate high again. He sat beside me, and as I picked at my salad, I noticed that he had eaten just as much as he had earlier that day. After finishing our meals, we headed to the rink together, braving the snowstorm again. Adrien immediately grabbed my arm this time, pulling me through the b

Jules barged into the room, dropping Bear's bedding on his lap before claiming the spare bed. Bear huffed dramatically, tossing the blankets onto the floor and setting up his makeshift bed there. Meanwhile, I was caught in the middle of a dilemma. Adrien's bed or Jules's? Or should I just crash on the floor next to Bear? They all seemed to want me nearby. I decided to sit on Adrien's bed, where I'd slept the night before. My pillows were already there, and it seemed like the path of least resistance. Jules stretched out on his newly claimed bed, his grin wide as he quipped, "Wow, all this room just for little ole' me. Another perk, thanks to my 'proclivities.' My mom would be so proud!" He winked at me. "I just d..on't want to hurt your arm d...ick," Bear huffed. Jules just smiled and said, "Say dick again, please. It'll make my night." Bear threw a pillow at him and repeated "DICK" far louder and far more clear. Jules pretended to swoon. "Damn, I love it when you talk di
Hockey Alphas - Pawns For Pucks 57. Really Confused
"Yeah, I don't think that's the case, but who am I to judge? I'm not sure why you think that," I said as we walked into the shower stalls. Jules chose the one across from me, not the one beside mine, as I totally figured he would do. But as I started to strip off my clothes, I noticed that he left his door slightly ajar, clearly intending to keep the conversation going. He leaned out, pulled mine open, and looked directly at me. "Well, you sleeping in his bed with him was my first hint." I sighed and shut my door tightly, quickly stripping off my clothes and binder. I needed to finish this shower quickly. The last thing I wanted was for Jules to catch on to anything. He was the one person in here I'm sure would pay attention to me as I showered. I decided to put a stop to this as best I could. Jules was curious and would only let this go once I gave him a definitive answer. "Jules, I don't think Adrien is gay," I said firmly, hoping my words would squash his curiosity. "I s
Hockey Alphas - Pawns For Pucks 58. Aim For Checkmate
Jules and I gathered some essentials from my dorm and headed back down the hall to Adrien's room. The plan was to regroup, enjoy each other's company, and just relax for the evening. But as soon as we walked through the door, we both froze.Cam was already there, camped out on the floor next to Bear, grinning at us like he belonged."Oh, hell no," Jules muttered. He stepped back, but Cam waved his hands in mock surrender."Listen, man, I'm not doing anything. I'm literally just fucking sitting here. Chill out, you're the one freaking out, not me."Adrien stepped in, trying to mediate. "Come on, man. He's back on the team next game. You two have to get past this."But it wasn't just Jules and Cam. It was me too, and Adrien had to understand that. He couldn't keep pretending everything was fine.I walked in, my eyes locked on Adrien. "Well, it's been fun, I guess. Thanks for the gifts guys, goodnight." I started gathering the chessboards, stacking them in my arms before heading to the d
