Injuries, as much as they are part of the natural order of life, disrupt the growth and development of a football player.
This is the reality of James Wilson, who, after being touted as the next National Gem alongside Nicholas Hart and Patrick Watson, injured his ACL and had to step away from the pitch for a year, thereby missing out on a big move.
Now he's back, and the road to being the player he is meant to be will not be easy, but he will not give up until he becomes a top player and the National Gem he is meant to be. This should be possible after all with Lauren Hart by his side.

FREE STORY. PAID BONUS CHAPTERS. DANGEROUS. BEAUTIFUL. SURREAL. Those were the words Jodie Henning used to describe the man she fell in love with, the first time she met him. HAZEL. BLACK. CRIMSON. Those were the colors she associated with his bright eyes, his long dark waves of hair and the scars on his back and upper chest. GUTTURAL. PRIMAL. SELFLESS. Those were the words she used to describe her time in bed with him, a time that edged itself into her memory, a time she continued to dream about for days and months afterwards. PAIN. HURT. RED. Those were everything she felt on his wedding day; throat closing, on the verge of tears, overwhelming sadness and pure pain. A SADDENING GLIMPSE OF HOPE That was what she felt when he came up behind her and whispered Shakespearean promises into her yearning ear. ALEXANDER MATEO HIDALGO III also known as Alex Clayton, number 77, left forward for the Seattle Kraken. But that changed since he got married, he barely shows up for shows or red carpets.
