CHAPTER TWENT Three – The New Player

Stella’s POV

The ice felt different today.

Maybe it was because I had barely slept.

Maybe it was because everything that had happened with my diary was still fresh in my mind.

Or maybe it was because I had finally decided that I wasn’t going to let fear control me anymore.

I tightened the laces on my skates before stepping onto the rink.

Cold air rushed against my face as I glided across the ice.

Around me, the rest of Ryan’s team had already started warming

    CHAPTER TWENTY Eight – CracksStella’s POVThe entire arena remained silent.Ryan was still lying against the boards where Chase had slammed into him.My heart pounded so hard that I could barely hear anything else.The referee skated toward the scene while several players rushed between Ryan and Chase before the situation could become even worse.“What was that?”“You weren’t even going for the puck!”Chase pulled his gloves tighter and threw both hands into the air.“It was clean.”“No, it wasn’t.”“It was part of the game.”Ryan slowly pushed himself into a sitting position.The team’s medical staff hurried onto the ice.One of them knelt beside him. “Ryan, stay still.”“I’m fine.”“You don’t know that yet.”The doctor carefully checked his shoulder before helping him to his feet. The crowd applauded as Ryan stood, even from where I was standing, I could see the pain he was trying so hard to hide.He rolled his shoulder once before picking up his hockey stick.The referee skated t

  • My Plus-Sized Hockey Luna   The Meeting

    Chapter Twenty SevenStella’s POVMy legs felt heavier with every step I took.The official walked ahead of me without saying a word, leading me through a quiet hallway that was separated from the rest of the arena.The cheers from the crowd became softer the farther we walked.Soon, they were nothing more than distant echoes.We stopped in front of a large wooden door.The official knocked gently.A calm voice came from inside. “Come in.”The official opened the door before stepping aside. “The player is here, Commissioner.”“Thank you.”I stood at the entrance without moving. The room was larger than I expected.Several officials stood around a long table covered with documents and tablets displaying match statistics.The Commissioner stood beside the large glass window overlooking the rink.His hands rested behind his back.For a few seconds, neither of us spoke.He finally turned toward the others. “Leave us.”The officials exchanged surprised looks. “Sir?”“I said leave us.”Nobo

  • My Plus-Sized Hockey Luna   Championship Day

    CHAPTER TWENTY Six – Championship DayStella’s POVSleep never came.I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling while the clock beside me seemed to move slower than usual.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the same things. Chase’s confident smile.Amber’s warning.Ryan standing in front of me without hesitation.Tomorrow had finally become today.The championship was here, I gave up trying to sleep and slowly sat up.The room was still dark, the rest of the pack house was completely silent.I changed into my training clothes, tied my hair into a ponytail, and quietly walked downstairs.The kitchen was empty, I poured myself a glass of water and stood by the window.The sky outside was only beginning to brighten, my stomach felt tight.I had played hockey before, I had competed before but never like this.Never with thousands of people watching.Never with cameras following every move.Never with Chase waiting on the other side.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.“You’ve been awake

  • My Plus-Sized Hockey Luna   Before The Championship

    CHAPTER TWENTY Five – Before the ChampionshipStella’s POVThe atmosphere inside the training arena felt completely different.Nobody laughed as loudly as they usually did, nobody wasted time standing around talking.Every player understood what tomorrow meant.Tomorrow was the beginning of the championship.Months of training, sacrifice, and hard work would finally be put to the test.I tightened the straps on my gloves before stepping onto the ice.Cold air rushed against my face as I slowly skated toward the center of the rink.Ryan was already there.He stood with the rest of the team while the coach explained the schedule for tomorrow.Everyone listened carefully. “There will be no second chances,” the coach said firmly. “Tomorrow begins the championship, and every match from this point forward matters.”He looked around at every player before continuing. “I don’t care how talented you are, I don’t care how famous you are, I only care about one thing. Play for your team.”The pl

    CHAPTER TWENTY Four – Why Are You Here? Stella’s POV Training finally came to an end. The sharp sound of the whistle echoed across the arena, and everyone slowly began skating toward the benches. I bent down to untie my skates, but my hands would not stop shaking, I had tried my best to focus during practice, I had told myself that Amber was only another player. I had told myself that I could ignore her. I had failed. Every time I looked up, I caught her watching me.Every time our eyes met, she smiled as if we shared a wonderful childhood together. Nobody else noticed how fake that smile was. They only saw two sisters who had been reunited. I packed my equipment into my hockey bag and stood up. Around me, the players laughed as they talked about today’s training. Some of them walked over to Amber to welcome her properly. She thanked every one of them politely, she knew exactly how to make people like her. Ryan walked over to the group and exchanged a few words w
