“Then fucking glue it,” I said.

I heard the horn blare and shake the arena.

“Goal,” I whispered.

I caught myself grinning.

We tied it up.

But now they needed me more than ever.

To protect the ice. To protect Jago.

I made the decision for myself then and there. I walked out of the trainer’s room and went back to the ice.

After three minutes of some of the fastest hockey I ever experienced, we pulled out a huge win.

And while it was worth celebrating that game by itself, we had just snapped a five-game losing streak.

Whatever it was about theSola Empire, we couldn’t win the way we should.

But tonight we won.

I noticed the guys all waiting for me in the tunnel.

Coach Denny -Detom- did a quick interview for the local sports network, praising our determination to never give up.

Then he stood in the tunnel too.

Rome had no poker face.

Something was happening.

Henry took the chance by standing next to me. “Sorry, brother. We had to do this.”

“Do what?” I asked.

“Come on,” Joe bellowed. “I need a drink and a shower.”

He stomped his way down tunnel and opened the door to the locker room.

He motioned for me and I gritted my teeth the entire way.

Everyone followed me.

I really had no idea what to expect.

What the hell am I walking into here?

I turned to go into the locker room and I froze.

Behind me, all the guys pushed me into the locker room.

As soon as I saw one thing pink, I curled my lip and growled.

Did they really throw a baby shower for me?

My locker was decoratedthe most.
