Unbreakable

Alex McCabe is a force of nature. A powerhouse in midfield for Arsenal Women and the Ireland Women's National Team, she is known for her brutal strength, unmatched skill, and an attitude that makes even the fiercest of opponents think twice before crossing her. Built like a brick wall from relentless hours in the gym, her body is a canvas of ink, tattoos covering her from head to toe, each one telling a story she rarely shares. Her presence alone is enough to silence a room. Her reputation? Infamous.
Fearless on the pitch and reckless off it, Alex has long lived a life of no consequences. She moves through the world as if nothing can touch her, and maybe nothing ever has. Every nightclub is her hunting ground, every woman she meets a potential conquest. She doesn't do love. She doesn't do attachments. And she definitely doesn't do guilt. Cheating, lying, and running from emotions? That's all just part of the Alex McCabe experience. Because when you're one of the best footballers in the world, people look the other way.
Her teammates know her as an enigma, someone they admire for her skill but fear for her unpredictability. Everyone keeps their distance-except for two people: Katie McCabe, her older sister and the only person who has ever truly known her, and Leah Williamson, England captain and Arsenal's golden girl, who knows every inch of Alex's body just as well as she knows her own.
Alex and Leah's relationship is complicated-if you can even call it a relationship. It's sex. It's comfort. It's late nights after games, tangled sheets, and bodies pressed together in the dark. It's something unspoken, something that neither of them acknowledges when the sun rises. They don't talk about it, because talking would make it real, and real is something Alex has never been good at handling. Leah understands that. She never asks for more. She never expects anything. That's why it works.
