Contract Marriage with My Hockey Alpha
Ryan Carter is a name the hockey world fears and worships in equal measure—the best player on the ice, the golden captain, the man every fan believes cannot be defeated.
To Scarlett Hayes, he is more than that.
He is the reason she fell in love with hockey in the first place. Her role model. Her secret crush. The one player she never imagined would ever exist in the same world as her, let alone stand on the opposite side of her future.
When she joins a new pack to pursue her hockey career, it feels like the escape she has always prayed for—a chance to run from a painful home and build a life of her own through ice, sweat, and determination.
But everything shatters when the final match is announced and fate places her on the ice against him.
Ryan Carter. Her opponent.
The moment they face each other, something inside her reacts in a way she cannot explain. Her wolf awakens, whispering a single dangerous word over and over again.
Mate. Mate. Mate.
It distracts her, unravels her focus. Breaks the control she has fought so hard to build and in a game where only strength survives…
She loses but losing the match is only the beginning because what comes after is far more dangerous than defeat.
A contract.
A bond and a a marriage to the one man she was never supposed to want…
Ryan Carter.

Chapter: The Hidden HeirCHAPTER SEVENTY Four The Place It All Began Scarlett’s POV The afternoon passed more quickly than I wanted. Ryan and I had spent hours walking through the town, laughing over little things that probably would not have mattered to anyone else. We talked about food, hockey, books, and the strange habits we had noticed about each other over the months. There was no pressure between us anymore. Neither of us was trying to explain the past or fix yesterday. We were simply enjoying today. As we walked back toward the car, I looked up at the sky. The sun had already started moving lower. I thought we were going back to the mansion. Instead, Ryan opened the passenger door for me and smiled. “We’re not done yet.” I looked at him curiously. “We’re not?” He shook his head. “I have one more place I want to show you.” I climbed into the car. “Where are we going?” “You’ll find out.” I laughed softly. “You’re not going to tell me?” “If I tell you now, it won’t b

Chapter: Our First DateCHAPTER SEVENTY Three Our First DateScarlett’s POVThe morning felt different from every other morning I had spent at the mansion. The air seemed lighter, the sunlight looked warmer, and for the first time in a long while, I woke up without a heavy feeling in my chest. Everything that had happened over the past few days still felt unbelievable, but instead of confusion, I felt peace. I had finally learned the truth about my past, and Ryan had finally stopped searching for someone who had been standing beside him all along.After getting dressed, I walked downstairs expecting another quiet breakfast. Instead, I found Ryan waiting in the living room. He was already dressed, but unlike his usual formal clothes, he wore a simple shirt and dark jeans. The relaxed look suited him, and for a moment I simply stood there looking at him.He noticed me and smiled.“You finally woke up.”I folded my arms with a playful smile.“I’ve been awake for a while.”“Then I owe you an apology.”I laughed

Chapter: A New MemoryCHAPTER SEVENTY OneA New MemoryScarlett’s POVThe morning sunlight slipped gently through the curtains and settled across my room, filling every corner with a soft golden glow. I opened my eyes slowly and stared at the ceiling for a long moment before sitting up in bed. My heart still felt strangely full after everything that had happened the day before. Even though I had slept through the night, it still felt as though I had only closed my eyes for a few minutes.I reached up and touched the necklace resting around my neck.My fingers traced its familiar shape.I had worn it for as long as I could remember.It had always been a part of me.Yesterday, I learned that it was also a part of Ryan.I still could not believe it.Every time I thought about his words, I felt as though I was living inside a dream.The person Ryan had searched for all those years…Had been me.A soft knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.Before I could answer, the door opened slowly.Ryan stood outside.

Chapter: The Promise I ForgotCHAPTER SEVENTY OneThe Promise I ForgotRyan’s POVThe mansion was unusually quiet that afternoon, yet the silence around me did nothing to calm the storm inside my heart. Ever since Gomez admitted the truth, I had been carrying the missing page, the old drawing, and the necklace with me as though I was afraid they might disappear if I let them out of my sight. For years, I believed those things would lead me to the person I had been searching for. Now they had finally done exactly that, yet I found myself wishing I had never needed them at all. If I had simply listened to my heart instead of chasing a broken memory, Scarlett would never have spent so many days believing she was standing behind someone else.I looked down at the drawing once more before folding it carefully and placing it inside the envelope. Every line on the paper felt heavier than before because I finally understood what it represented. It was not only a memory from the past. It was proof that fate had brought Sca

Chapter: The Missing PageCHAPTER Sixty NIn’sThe Missing PageRyan’s POVThe file remained open on my desk for hours.I had read every page.Every sentence, every detail but the more I learned, the less certain I became.The truth was no longer a straight path.It was a collection of broken pieces scattered across years of memories.I looked at the old records again.Gomez was there, that much was clear.Her name appeared in the documents, her presence was confirmed.But something was missing.The records never clearly said she was the child from my memory.They only said she was connected to that day.Connected.That word bothered me.Because for years, I had filled in the blanks myself.I had taken the pieces I knew and created the answer I wanted.I found a person.I found a name.I found a memory.And I stopped searching.But now I understood something.Finding someone was not the same as finding the truth.⸻I called my assistant into the office.He walked in carrying another folder.“You found somethin
