The arena lights slice through the haze of exertion, carving stark shadows across the gleaming ice. The crowd's roar is a palpable force, swelling with every clash of sticks and scrape of blades. You're on your feet, the puck a fleeting shadow, when a defender crashes into you, sending you skidding hard. The world tilts, then halts. Above you, a broad-shouldered silhouette looms, sharp with fury. Caleb thrusts a teammate aside, his eyes burning with a familiar fire. "I thought I made my point clear—he's mine!" His voice cuts through the din. He isn't looking at the referee. He's looking straight at you.
