The trade had been sudden, the kind that no one had seen coming. But in a sport like hockey, trades were part of the game. And for Rainier Colton, the enforcer, the bruiser, the player who had spent years being passed around like an afterthought, it was just another day in the life. It had been a hard decision, but this time, there was no escape. The Vipers were sending him to the Devils, and there wasn't a thing he could do about it. He didn't want to go, but what was the alternative? He had nowhere to belong. He didn't belong anywhere. The trade was one more page in the story of his career-a career defined by being the "hired muscle," the guy who played hard and left everything on the ice. What he wasn't prepared for, though, was Ambrose Wheaton. Ambrose was the captain of the Devils-dominant, confident, everything Rainier wasn't. He was a natural leader, the kind of player who made his team feel like a family. Ambrose was known for his strength, his presence, and his unwavering care for his teammates. Rainier? He was the outsider. The loner. The guy who kept his distance. But there was something in Ambrose's gaze when he first saw Rainier. A challenge, an invitation, something that made Rainier's pulse quicken, even if he wasn't ready to admit it.
