I can’t think straight. I just needed someone to know who won’t automatically think the worst of me.”

“Everyone’s labeling me as the guy who lost his temper. They think I just acted out, so I’m getting reprimanded left and right. And then when I’m on the ice I have to look at him, and it’s like I’m right back there again.

They’ve only ever seen the cleaner version of her. Not the messy, ugly, broken parts. He doesn’t think he has the right to taint that image unless she decides it herself. “I just” his eyes drop for a moment as his nails scrape lightly along the table, then lift back to Hannah’s.

Yeah. Garrett is a lucky bastard. When she asks if anyone on the team knows, he shakes his head. “It was never my story to tell.” It has always belonged to Summer. The guys like Logan, Garrett, Tucker, Beau they all know his little sister.

and he’d snapped spectacularly. Her thumb rubs a slow, soothing circle along the back of his hand, and by some small miracle it actually grounds him. This is what he wishes he could have with Allie. To be this raw, this exposed, and still be met with quiet comfort instead of distance.

that she understands the outburst and why the rage had poured out of him the way it did. Maybe he could have handled it better. He’d like to believe anyone in that position wouldn’t have been thinking straight either. Someone from his past had walked back into his life,

and suddenly gets it why Garrett seeks her out the way he does. She’s good at this. When she says his name, the weight behind it makes his eyes lift to hers. A quiet breath of relief leaves him when she tells him she’s on his side,

It’s a lot to process he knows that. Eventually she reaches across the table and settles her hand over his still clenched fist. The simple softness of the touch is enough to pull him back into the present. He flicks his gaze down to where her fingers rest against his knuckles

She metaphorically steps closer to his side without even having to say it. He can feel it in the way she’s looking at him now, like every piece is locking into place and she’s seeing it crystal clear from his perspective. He doesn’t speak. He just sits there and lets it settle between them.

𝘿𝙀𝘼𝙉 𝘿𝙄 𝙇𝘼𝙐𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙎 @puckandcharm.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

It’s amazing how a different set of words can shift someone’s entire opinion in a heartbeat. At first, he understands why Hannah is siding with Logan because she doesn’t have the full context behind his rage. But the second he drops the real reason, he watches the change hit her face.

and his voice drops into something low and dangerous, almost shaking with the force of what he’s holding back. “He was the reason my sister almost took her life.”

“That night, when I saw him walk through those doors acting like some goddamn savior…” His voice roughens. “All I saw was red. Pure, blinding red. Every rational thought just gone. I wanted to beat the shit out of him. I did. Even when the guys were hauling me off, every

His fingers unlace from where they’d been locked together. He reaches for the mug and grips it hard enough that his knuckles bleach white. The ceramic is warm, but it does nothing to cut through the cold, anger coiling tighter in his chest.

𝘿𝙀𝘼𝙉 𝘿𝙄 𝙇𝘼𝙐𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙎 @puckandcharm.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I made it crystal clear crystal fucking clear that I didn’t want Davenport anywhere near this team. When your own teammate looks you in the eye and tells you he doesn’t want someone there, you listen. You don’t have to understand the reason. You just respect it.”

𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘯? The answer should be simple. It isn’t. “Guess I’m experiencing my first wellness session with Wellsy,” he says, forcing a weak laugh. How the hell does he even begin? Awkwardly, he shifts in the booth and brings his hands together

𝘿𝙀𝘼𝙉 𝘿𝙄 𝙇𝘼𝙐𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙎 @puckandcharm.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

He gives a curt nod, then turns almost robotically and heads for the corner booth. He slides in and watches as Hannah settles across from him. She sets a mug in front of him. He reaches for it, sliding it closer, but makes no move to drink.

𝘿𝙀𝘼𝙉 𝘿𝙄 𝙇𝘼𝙐𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙎 @puckandcharm.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

reassuring pat against his arm should ease the stiffness in his posture, yet he doesn’t budge. Silently, he hopes the lack of reaction is enough for her to see he isn’t okay. When she suggests they take a seat, his reluctant little “okay” comes out quiet.

𝘿𝙀𝘼𝙉 𝘿𝙄 𝙇𝘼𝙐𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙎 @puckandcharm.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

“Then I’ll take some shifts here or do some work around the place. I need to take responsibility for this, because I did this.” Hearing Hannah’s soft quip should be enough to pull even the smallest smile from him, but his lips don’t so much as twitch. The gentle,

𝘿𝙀𝘼𝙉 𝘿𝙄 𝙇𝘼𝙐𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙎 @puckandcharm.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

away for fifty bucks. The fact that his family name is once again shielding him only makes him more determined. “I want a real total,” he says, voice firm. “And I want to pay it. If she won’t accept that, then…” He searches for something that actually feels like accountability.

𝘿𝙀𝘼𝙉 𝘿𝙄 𝙇𝘼𝙐𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙎 @puckandcharm.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

he shakes his head hard. “No. Absolutely not. I did way more than fifty dollars’ worth of damage.” He isn’t an idiot. Della knows this isn’t who he is, and she’s cutting him slack because of it. But this is her business, and there is no way in hell he is walking

time he has ever felt real shame. When Hannah casually adds that he should stay clear of Della for a while, another heavy layer of guilt settles over him. He waits with bated breath while she tallies the damage, but when she tells him Della is only asking for fifty dollars,

As Hannah clears away the wreckage his outburst left behind, Dean’s stomach drops again and again. Whatever thin mask of composure he has been holding onto fades almost instantly. People usually write him off as a manwhore, sometimes a dumb jock, but this is the first

He stares at the menu above the counter, then forces himself to meet her eyes. “I really need someone to talk to.”

𝘿𝙀𝘼𝙉 𝘿𝙄 𝙇𝘼𝙐𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙎 @puckandcharm.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

His voice comes out embarrassingly soft. “I know I’m not your favorite person right now, but is there any chance you could pause the resentment and disappointment for a minute because…”

credit card onto the counter. He could write a check too, but that isn’t his main concern. His eyes shift away from Hannah. Della isn’t even here yet. Good, somewhat calm before the storm. She must have opened up early for them. “Hey, Wellsy?”

𝘿𝙀𝘼𝙉 𝘿𝙄 𝙇𝘼𝙐𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙎 @puckandcharm.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

shame hitting him again. Fuck. What happened to him? He knows the answer. Slowly, his gaze returns to her. “And every apology card currently housed at Hallmark.” A weak attempt at dry humor slips out anyway. Quietly, he pulls his wallet from his back pocket and slides his

She probably thinks it’s just to make things right, which it is but he also needs someone to talk to right now. And right now, the team isn’t it. He steps inside. Shame and guilt slam into him full force as his eyes sweep over the damage. 𝘗𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘬𝘪𝘥 he

mess he left at Malone’s. He’ll cover the property damage and apologize profusely to Della. He has probably lost his spot as her favorite customer after that stunt. The truth is, coming to Malone’s is partly a cover. He had texted Hannah earlier, asking if they could meet.

Keeping up appearances, right? In the end, he had turned his back on all of them and walked away. What followed after was an intervention, a heated confrontation, and now the consequences. The smoke has cleared, and he knows he needs to fix things. Starting with the

The cool night air did nothing to calm him. His anger spiked again at for going behind his back and bringing Davenport in. Throughout the confrontation, his eyes kept drifting to Allie. She hadn’t said a damn word.

𝘿𝙀𝘼𝙉 𝘿𝙄 𝙇𝘼𝙐𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙎 @puckandcharm.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

drowned everything out. Every instinct screamed at him to beat the shit out of the guy. The shouts of his teammates, the sensible voice in his own head but none of it broke through the roar. Eventually, after a lot of effort they had herded him outside like some form of cattle.

𝘿𝙀𝘼𝙉 𝘿𝙄 𝙇𝘼𝙐𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙏𝙄𝙎 @puckandcharm.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

this deep, blood-red fury that propelled him forward like something feral. His teammates had struggled to hold him back. He remembers fragments: Jules whipping out a phone, pulling up Fifth Line and going live. Warning bells should have been ringing by then but the sight of Davenport

That’s when the universe decided things weren’t bad enough and let Hunter Davenport saunter back into his life, dropping two unpleasant truths, Logan had brought him in and this prick had been the one Allie slept with. Red. That’s all he had seen,

wanted her. He had been eager to tell her, hoping she felt the same. Instead, hope got crushed under repeated stomps. Unlike him, she had completed the assignment and he had been forced to swallow down the disappointment and try to nurse his first real heartbreak.

She was supposed to be a one-time rider, casual, no strings, just the way they had both agreed from the start. He had been fine with that. More than fine. Until feelings crept in. Until he found himself ignoring her ridiculous “sexy homework” assignment because he didn’t want anyone else. He only

Standing at the entrance of Malone’s, the weight of the previous night pressing down on him like a bad check into the boards. Life has decided to take a massive crap on him lately. Maybe the universe figured he had been skating through things too easily and needed a shake-up. Enter Allie Hayes.

his brow lifts when she mentions the future because causal doesn’t usually leans towards a future but he’s not fleeing when he hears it, in fact, he smiles softly. “So, not only will I have the task of holding your purse, but also an Oscar, yeah, I can live with that.”

for her royal highness to be with someone lowranking like him. Hell, maybe her parents have already betrothed her to someone else. Some weak, pathetic, not willing to experiment Prince. Oh shit, he doesn’t condone cheating but damn the scenario in his head

The one who will answer her call always, go to battle for her without blinking and serve her in and out of her bedroom quarters. Heh, just imagining it makes him smirk, because even in this scenerio they’d start off with sneaking around because, gasp, it would be forbidden

taking the role of whoever he currently desires, Allie is the leading lady. So while she lets herself dream about ruling the Kingdom with him, he’s cast himself in a different role. She’s the Princess, or the Queen, really it doesn’t matter, but, instead of having a crown, he’s the Knight.

That fantasy Allie currently is envisioning in her head? Yeah, he has no idea but they’re pretty much sharing the same wavelength. Most had deemed him a lost cause when it came to taming him. They’d get on, have a good ride but eventually he’d buck them off. Allie however managed to put the saddle
