Alle Kapitel von Rejected By The Hockey Captain, Claimed By His Coach : Kapitel 31 – Kapitel 40

Dante DominicThe balcony of my study was the only place in this house where I could have time for myself without getting disturbed by my mother and her obsession about the Northern Stewards.“I know they are reclusive and all… But we are still family, do you get? We need to meet these people and bond that way…” She had said to me after I escorted Lori back to our room.“Mom…” I told her tiredly. “Can you drop it already? I had a long day at work today, and tonight's theft event has gotten me more drained…”“I've told you a thousand times to quit that stupid hockey thing you've been doing!” She had snapped at me. “The CEO position is still open in your father's company. I know you guys have a strained relationship, but he will always be ready to accept you back into the company. You're his only son… And the heir to his pack. He is getting ill with all the work he is carrying on his shoulders, and now would be a great time to quit this hobby of yours and focus on things that really mat

MilaThe kettle whistled on the stove as I brewed the tea the way Lori loved it... with a splash of milk, no sugar and chamomile which was really good for nausea, or so she claimed. Her "nausea" wasn't just pregnancy. It was the universe's way of rejecting her. She didn't belong here. She didn't belong in Mr. Dominic's house, in his bed, carrying children that weren't even his."How is it going with you?" Miss Renée peeped into the kitchen with her usual lovely smile, and a small clutch in her hands. "How are you enjoying your promotion?"A big smile spread on my face as I hopped towards her with glee. "The boss recognized me, Miss Renée." I giggled when I remembered him calling me aside to his study, and it was just two of us... Just me and him in his space like it should have always been. "He made me the head of the maids and demoted Sarah over the stealing incident. I'm so grateful to you, Miss Renée. By now, I would have still been miserable and cleaning up after Sarah. Now, her w

Lori StewardThe drive home was silent, my mind still reeling at today's events. Dante's knuckles had stopped bleeding, but the skin was split and raw."What about tomorrow's game? Wouldn't you be going to check on Silas first?" I asked, a little worried, hoping and praying that Silas was alright even though I hated him. I know I wanted to take my revenge on him after giving birth, but I didn't want it like this."Well..." Dante's mouth tightened at the corners. "I'll be withdrawing the team from tomorrow's games. That will teach them a lesson not to test my patience every single time."My heart skipped a beat at that. This was just going to make things worse. "Dante... They will only grow resentful towards me. This isn't the right way to handle this.""Not the right way?" He chuckled and shook his head. "There is no right way for anything. Besides, they all know who is the champion of all our games, and at this moment, he is in the hospital. Even as a coach, I'm embarrassed to say th

Lori Steward"No one is going to pick on you, Lori." Dante was assuring me as we were both hurrying out of the house and into the rink. "I had made sure to drill it in their heads. So..."I was still worried as we both got into the car. Today was one of those days where I would be alone in the rink with players while Dante attended an emergency meeting in his father's company."Ma'am! You forgot this!" I turned around to find Mila rushing out of the house behind me with a beautiful packaged bag in her hands. "You forgot to take your lunch with you."I smiled brightly and thanked her before turning my attention back to Dante. "You know it's more than just being picked on by them. The children are going to drop anytime soon, and I need you to be there in case anything happens."I knew it was quite a selfish request because he wasn't the one responsible for my pregnancy in the first place. But Dante didn't act like I had said something foolish."Then, you can stay back home and have Mila

Lori StewardI felt a sharp pain in my abdomen when I took the fourth spoon of the vegetable filled noodles that Mila prepared for me. I paused, the fork hovering near my lips, and waited for the pain to pass. It could be the braxton hicks that my doctor warned me about. He had told me that it was perfectly normal and nothing to worry about because they were just false labour pains, and I would be experiencing them more as I was in the final weeks.Then the second cramp came, sharper than the first, and I felt something wet between my thighs."No," I whispered. "Not now. Not here."My water had broken, and I felt my entire body freeze because I knew right now, that I was alone in the rink. Dante was at his father's company, the players were currently taking a break, and the nearest hospital was twenty minutes away. I fumbled for my phone, nearly dropping it twice before I managed to unlock the screen and find Dante's number.It rang for a long time and Dante wasn't picking up, instead
