Hu:

“What the hell was that, Hu?”

Ruby comes after me as I make my way towards my car, and her voice does nothing but grate on every nerve in my body.

“You think you can just waltz in here, have sex with me, and leave, making me feel used?!”

I want to stuff something in her mouth to make her shut the fuck up, but I don’t. Instead, I turn around, grabbing her.

I pull her closer, then look into her eyes, which burn with fury. Without hesitation, I press my lips against hers. Softly kissing her, I pull away almost immediately.

“It wasn’t my intention to leave that way. I was in the middle of something, then I thought of you and came over.”

Her lips curve, and in no time, she is grinning like a child.

She throws her arms around me, pressing her chest hard against mine. This feels like a prison, and I want nothing more than to leave at once. But I also signed up for this, so complaining will do me no good.

“I love you, babe. Sorry I overreact sometimes, but I just keep thinking of

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   SHOW ME

    GINGER:Truth be told, I’m kind of worked up about Hu. His behavior is driving me insane—in a bad way. And not the kind of insane where you’re secretly in love with him. Since he was being a total douchebag, I got Caspian to teach me instead, and honestly? It was the easiest thing ever. Hu looked normal when he walked in, but then, out of nowhere, Mr. Nice just disappeared.I stand there for a moment, watching as he disappears into the locker area. I make up my mind not to confront him because it only seems to fuel whatever demon lives inside him.Then, suddenly, he walks back out, holding a stick and a puck.“I see you’re advanced in your skills, so maybe it’s time to incorporate these,” he says, approaching me.I study him carefully—from the twitching of his fingers to the wrinkle in his brow, to his face, which refuses to relax.Is he mad I took lessons from Caspian? Shouldn’t that make his job easier?I don’t know why I’m even questioning myself. I mean, it’s Hu. The only thing he

    GINGER:“What?” I ask in a low voice, staring into his eyes.“Show me,” he shrugs, his arms still folded and brows furrowed. “We could sit if you want,” he adds, and I nod, running a hand down the back of my neck.I close the space between us, staring into his notebook. “I don’t think we need to because it’s just a minor mistake, and…” I pause as I realize how that sounds.“I don’t mean that you do…” I try to find a word that doesn’t insinuate that he isn’t bright. “Never mind, I’ll just show you.”I trace my hand over the notebook to where he used a negative sign instead of a positive one.“So, you misplaced the signs. When negatives multiply, they become positive. It’s a simple rule, but we tend to forget it sometimes,” I say, then look up to catch his gaze on me. He shifts it immediately back to his notebook, his brows furrowing even more.He stares into the book for a moment, then takes a step back, walking to the bench and looking into it while I stand there, unsure of what to do

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   I CAN DO THIS

    HU:I know I shouldn’t be here. She asked me not to come, but today felt different. Today with her felt really good. For a moment, I forgot how shitty my life was. She’s so smart, so pretty, so bad at hockey—my fucking dream girl.I can’t remember the last time I felt this happy. Even when I tried to sound serious, she would find a joke to lighten the mood, like she couldn’t stand to see me upset.After a lot of hesitation, I throw on my clothes and rush to her house. When I get to her window, I realize it’s shut, so I tap on the glass.She turns, her mouth parting. “Ar—” She starts to scream, but then slaps a hand over her lips, her brows furrowing as she recognizes me.I pray she doesn’t turn me away.She hesitates before walking to the window and unlocking it, sliding it up.“Can I come in?” I ask.She rolls her eyes but steps back, giving me just enough space to squeeze through. Once I’m inside, I close the window and turn to face her.“What are you doing here, Hu?” she whispers,

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   SILENT OBSESSION

    Hu:“Everyone has problems, Hu, and having someone to talk to about it is what makes it easier to cope.” I hear a crack in her voice, which makes me curious about what’s weighing her down. I want to know who or what hurt her, so I can teach them a lesson and protect her from whatever it is.“I know what it feels like, so I’m ready to be your comfort if you want me to.”I try to push away the thoughts of her being hurt, but they linger.My hands form a fist, and she reaches for it, sliding her fingers into mine, making me loosen up as she straightens them. Maybe if I get through my shit, she’ll tell me hers.“Continue, please,” she says, and I nod, swallowing hard as I try to steady my mind.“When I woke up, my mother wasn’t in the best shape. I was taken to rehab, and I hated my stay there. It was hell. I was forced to do a lot of things in the name of therapy. Worse, I had an outburst and injured someone.” I pause, forcing myself to breathe. “I hate my life most of the time, and it h

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   THE DAY AFTER

    GINGER:Something hard and warm presses against me, the steady rise and fall beneath my cheek soothing in a way I don’t want to question. The scent is familiar, and before my mind fully wakes, I run my hand over it, letting my fingers trace the shape beneath me. It is hard yet soft in a way that my body enjoys.Then a low groan rumbles beneath my palm, causing my eyes to snap open. I am lying on Hu’s chest, my hand caressing his face.Panic strikes my chest, and I jerk up, scrambling away from him so fast that my back nearly hits the other side of the bed. My heart pounds as I stare at him. His hair is a hot mess, his lips slightly parted from sleep, but he looks so hot. Fuck, did I just say that?Oh, god.I bury my face in my hands, cursing myself. Why couldn’t I keep my hands to myself? Worse, why did it feel so good? I don’t even want to know if he was awake for it, because that would make me want to kill myself more than I already do.Caspian crosses my mind, and I slap my forehea

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   A GETAWAY

    GINGER:“She’s really the coolest. My mom would send a driver or make Hu drive me home,” Hana says, and I force a smile at the mention of Hu’s name.“You don’t have to worry. I’ll help you get your bag,” she adds, and both Wendy and I glance at her.“So that you can meet my mom?” I ask, raising a brow.She shakes her head with her face contorting. “Because you’re my friend, and you need my help.” She throws an arm around my shoulders.“Just admit you have a huge crush on her mom and be done with it,” Wendy says, crossing her arms, her brows furrowed.“It’s not a crush! She just inspires me so much. She’s so young, badass, and coooool!” She drags out the last word dramatically, pressing down on my shoulders until I yelp in pain.“Sorry, sorry,” she apologizes quickly, pulling her hands away.“Her mom will be here any minute, and we should get back to class. Also, I hate restrooms,” Wendy mutters, making her way toward the door. Hana hooks her arm through mine, pulling me along with her

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   NURSE HU

    HU:I know I have broken every code among guys, and to be honest, I don’t feel bad about it. The moment I saw Ginger’s text to Caspian, I knew I had to do something. Classes are busy today, but I would give anything to make her feel better. Talking with her yesterday made me feel good, and I am not necessarily repaying her, but knowing she is in pain makes me uneasy.I have no idea how Caspian can sit through the entire school day with this information. Well, he doesn’t have sisters, but I do, and they are never in the best mood during their cycle. The first time Hana got hers, she rained down on the entire house. That same week, she was so emotional that everything at home made her cry. It’s a good thing I have two sisters because I know exactly what to do for Ginger, even though I have never helped mine—because no one would trust the dysfunctional child to administer care.“Thank you,” she mutters, and I look up to meet her eyes.She walks to the bed, sitting on it before I turn to

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   SNEAKING AROUND

    GINGER:I know Hu is like a ticking bomb, but I believe he is capable of so much more. He is just hurt, and he needs the right people—or person—to help him. I will not say I am the right person to help him, but I will try my best because I know how it feels. If I didn’t have Caspian, I do not know what I would be doing at this point because he keeps the ill thoughts of harming myself away.“Yes, we are friends,” he replies as his grip on the chopsticks loosens. My heart calms a bit, and I think of the best way to keep his mind away from whatever is bothering him.My mind keeps telling me to open up about my own problems, but I do not want him to freak out or tell my mum that I am hurting myself. It would weigh her down, as she has already been through a lot.The room remains silent for a while, and after a moment, I inhale sharply, then I speak.“Last night, you opened up to me about yourself, and I think it would be unfair if I said nothing to you.” He keeps his gaze on me without sa

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   SHE WANTS YOU

    GINGER:Ginger’s breath comes in ragged gasps as she rushes down the hallway, her vision blurred with unshed tears. The echo of the crowd’s cheers for the Blue Shadow Pack rings in her ears, each sound amplifying the shame tightening in her chest. She cost them the game. She fell at the most critical moment.She doesn’t stop until she reaches the empty corridor leading to the locker rooms, but heavy footsteps pound behind her, gaining on her fast.“Ginger!” Hu calls out, but she doesn’t slow down.She clenches her fists, trying to ignore him, but within seconds, he is beside her. His longer strides close the distance between them, and before she can pull away, his hand curls gently around her wrist, forcing her to stop.“Leave me alone, Hu,” she whispers, her voice cracking.He doesn’t let go. “Why are you beating yourself up?”

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   FEMALE HOCKEY

    GINGER:The locker room is buzzing with high energy as we prepare for the match against the Blue Shadow Pack. Everyone is talking over one another, debating who should go on the field first. I sit on the edge of the bench, tying my skates, trying to block out the noise. Then I see a pair of familiar shoes walking toward me, stopping inches away.Ruby speaks before I can look up. “She shouldn’t play.” Her tone is laced with disgust. “She’s too fat, and she’ll slow us down and make us lose.”My fingers freeze over my laces as I lift my head to see her standing with her hands on her waist.Silence falls for a brief second before a few girls start giggling, while others shift uncomfortably. My chest tightens as heat rises to my face, and I will myself to look unaffected, but my nails dig into my palm.“Ruby might be right,” someone says

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   BUSTED

    GINGER:I push the door open, my body still damp from the pool, Hu’s oversized shirt clinging to me. My heart sinks the moment I step inside and find Janet’s side of the bed empty. Worse, my property is all over the place. My clothes are on the ground, and they are wet.A shaky breath escapes me as I scan the room. I walk over to one of my shirts, lifting it off the ground, watching as water drips from it. Tears well up in my eyes, and I try so hard to ground myself, but they keep falling. I know I hurt someone, but this is too much karma for my sins. A choked sob slips out, and suddenly, I sink onto the cold floor, pulling my knees to my chest.I try to breathe, but it feels like I’m suffocating. Like the walls are closing in. And then it happens before I can stop it. The darkness I dread envelops me, pulling me under like quicksand, dragging me back to a place I never want to be.The room fades, and it is just me, standing with my father, watching him p

    GINGER:“Hey! Stop!” I call out to Janet as she catwalks away toward the pool exit.I cannot believe I bought into her nerdy girl nonsense because, looking at her now, I can barely see that. She is the typical mean girl—the ones who spend their entire lives investing in heavy skincare, starving themselves to have an enviable build. She is… Ruby!“Hey! Stop!” I try again, pushing myself against the edge of the pool, but she only laughs, tilting her head.“Why?” she taunts. Then she pauses, a smile curling on her lips as we hear the voices of approaching students. “You better stay in there because I doubt anyone wants to see your mom tits.” She glares at my bra. “I cannot believe those boys are fighting over this. Ew.”I suck in a shaky breath, trying to hold myself together. “Don’t do this, please. It isn’t fair.&r

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   EVIL JANET

    GINGER:Janet and I swim around for a while, splashing each other and floating lazily in the cool water. The sun shines down on us, warming my skin despite the chill of the pool. It’s peaceful having just the two of us here, and a part of me dreads that this will soon end when the other students arrive.Janet swims closer, resting her arms on the edge of the pool. “You know,” she starts, her voice softer than before, “I just want to say… I’m really sorry for everything. The bullying, the rumors, all of it. You don’t deserve that.”Hearing her say this doesn’t make me feel better about myself, because a part of me feels like I deserve it. I hurt Caspian, and this is probably my karma.I shake my head at her.“I know I can’t change what’s happened,” she continues, “but I just want you to know that I’m here for you,

  • HOCKEY ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN AFFAIR   JANET AND I

    Ginger:The blare of a loud alarm sends both Janet and me flying from our beds. I land back on the bed on my butt. It hurts a bit, so I rub it slightly while Janet tries to stand on the ground where she has fallen.“Attention, students! This is Coach Billy, and I am here to officially welcome all of you.” I groan at his voice, which scratches my ears as it blares through the speakers. “I know I met some of you yesterday, but on behalf of the Red Pack students who arrived late, I am welcoming you guys once more.”The Red Pack is here? I question myself.I had no idea my pack had a hockey team now in high school. I pray silently that I do not see anyone I know, because I do not want to answer questions.“The first match is tomorrow, but for today, you can mingle, make friends, and have fun together because it is a Sunday.” He yells a slogan that I can barely make out. &

    GINGER:Sometimes I wonder why Hu will not just leave me alone, and other times I am kind of glad. If he did not care about what his actions did to me, then I probably would have killed myself.Today, the hockey team is traveling to the Blue Shadow Pack. My luggage is almost empty, because over the past two weeks, I have put on a lot of weight. As I stare at myself in the mirror, all I feel is disgust. My arms look flabby, and I cannot help but pull at the bulging fat on my back. I have stress-eaten so much that I did not realize it until now. No wonder I have been getting bullied so much.My heart aches as I think of the best way to mask the fat. I rush to my wardrobe, pulling out a tape. Drawing out a long streak, I place the end on my left armpit, then wrap it around, looking at the mirror. It looks good, so I continue until I feel comfortable. Then I grab my shirt, draping it over my body. Examining myself in the mirror,

    HU:The days go by fast, and with each passing second, my life keeps crashing down. Every day is torture, watching Ginger get bullied because of my stupid ass, but I always make sure to go after whoever is responsible. Yet, they never seem to stop. Worse, I cannot even tell who is behind it. It could be Ruby or even Hana. I want to confront them, but I don’t even know what to say.It’s been two weeks, and it feels like hell. Today is Friday, the last day of school before we travel for the hockey match. I am in my room packing, and I cannot help but stare at Ginger’s window. I wish we were still on good terms because we would be talking by now. Maybe I would send her a pic of my room and how horribly packing is going. Then I would probably sneak into her room to help her with hers, sleep over, and end up hurriedly packing the next day.The thought of it sends heat through my core as a smile forms on my face. Her curtains are shut, but I can picture her perfectly.“I can’t believe that

    GINGER:I don’t wait after practice is over. The moment Coach Greg dismisses us, I grab my bag and head straight for the exit. A lot of thoughts swirl in my head, especially the coldness I saw in Caspian’s eyes when I expected him to defend me. I know I did him wrong, but god, it fucking hurts, and I wish there was something I could do to make it stop.I barely make it down the hallway when a hand grabs my wrist, yanking me into the janitor’s closet. I know it is Hu, and the moment he flicks the lights on, I stare at him, my brows crumpling.“What the hell is wrong with you?” I ask when our eyes meet. His eyes look troubled, but I remind myself that it is not my place to comfort him, especially considering the fact that he acted like an asshole.“Ginger, please,” he says in a low voice, and I hold his gaze for a moment. “I am sorry for what happened at the wedding. I wasn’t in the right state of mind, and believe me, the last thing I want is for you to be hurt.”Not even an ounce of p
