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: She leftCHAPTER NINETY-TWOThe Night She LeftScarlett’s POVI stood outside Eleanor’s room with Ryan beside me, holding the note we had found in my mother’s old bedroom, while the words written across the paper continued to bother me because whoever had left it had not simply wanted us to discover a secret, they had wanted us to question Eleanor, and that made me wonder whether the person behind everything was trying to separate me from the few people who were still helping me uncover the truth.Ryan looked at me carefully.“You don’t have to do this tonight.”I shook my head.“If I wait, I might lose the courage.”He nodded.“Then I’ll stay with you.”I knocked on the door.Eleanor’s voice came from inside.“Come in.”We entered.She was sitting beside the window, reading a book, but the moment she saw the expression on my face, she slowly placed it on the table.“You found something.”It was not a question.I placed the note in front of her.Her eyes moved across the words, and the color s

Chapter: Someone InCHAPTER Eighty EightSomeone Inside the HouseScarlett’s POVThe message stayed on my phone long after I had stopped reading it, because even though the words were simple, I could feel the warning behind them, and the fact that someone knew we were searching for Gabriel meant that whoever had been hiding the truth was beginning to realize that Ryan and I were no longer willing to accept the stories we had been given.Ryan stood beside me, staring at the screen.“We need to find out who sent this.”“I agree.”He looked at me.“But we have to be careful.”“I know.”Before he could say anything else, we heard the sound of a car stopping outside the mansion.Eleanor looked toward the front door.A few moments later, the door opened.Gabriel walked inside.Ryan immediately became tense.“What are you doing here?”Gabriel looked at him before turning toward me.“I need to speak with Scarlett.”Ryan stepped forward.“You could have called.”“I did not think a phone call would be safe.”That

Chapter: The Secret She KeptCHAPTER Eighty SevenThe Secret She KeptScarlett’s POVI barely spoke during the drive back to the mansion because my aunt’s words were still running through my mind, and although I finally understood why she had stayed away from me, I still could not completely accept that the people I had spent years blaming had been trying to protect me in their own way.Ryan sat beside me, watching me quietly.“You don’t have to think about everything tonight,” he said.I gave him a tired smile.“I know, but my mind doesn’t seem to understand that.”He laughed softly.“Then let it think for a while.”I turned toward him.“You really think my aunt was telling the truth?”“I think she believes what she told you.”“That’s not the same thing.”“No, it isn’t.”He took my hand.“That’s why we keep looking.”I nodded.When we arrived at the mansion, we walked inside together, but before we could reach the stairs, Eleanor was already waiting for us.She looked at the letter in my hand.“You spoke to her.

Chapter: You Are Looking In The Wrong PlaceCHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHTYou Are Looking in the Wrong PlaceScarlett’s POVThe journey back from Adeline’s house felt completely different from the journey there because when we had left the mansion earlier that evening, I had been carrying questions that had followed me for years, while now I was carrying something much heavier and much more precious, because for the first time since I was a child, I had heard my mother’s voice clearly enough to understand that she had never stopped loving me, even though knowing that she had wanted to come back only made the years without her feel more painful.I sat beside Ryan in the back seat while the lights from the road passed across his face, and neither of us spoke for several minutes because there were moments when words were simply not enough to explain what was happening inside us.My mother’s voice was still in my head.I never abandoned you.I closed my eyes and rested my head against the window.I wanted to believe those words completely,

Chapter: The Name In The PhotographCHAPTER EIGHTY FiveThe Name in the PhotographScarlett’s POVFor several seconds after Adeline spoke the name, I could not move, because the sound of it seemed to fill the entire room while my mind struggled to connect it to the face in the photograph, and even though I had never personally known the man standing beside my mother, something about his name felt familiar enough to make the back of my neck grow cold.“Gabriel,” Adeline repeated quietly, watching my face carefully as though she already knew how difficult the truth would be for us to accept.Ryan stared at her.“Gabriel what?”Adeline took a slow breath.“Gabriel Hart.”Ryan’s expression changed immediately.I turned toward him.“You know him?”He remained silent for a moment before finally nodding.“I knew him when I was younger.”Adeline looked at him.“Your father trusted him.”Ryan’s jaw tightened.“My father trusted a lot of people.”“Gabriel was more than a friend.”“What was he?”“Your father’s business partner.”R

Chapter: She LeftCHAPTER EIGHTY Five The Woman Who LeftScarlett’s POVThe address on Ryan’s phone remained on the screen for several seconds, and even though it was only a collection of numbers and a street name, I could not explain why looking at it made my heart beat faster, as if some part of me already knew that whatever waited at the end of that road would change everything we thought we understood about my past.Ryan stood beside the table with his phone still in his hand, his expression serious as he read the message again, while Eleanor remained near the window with her walking stick resting against her leg, and Mr. Alden looked more worried than I had ever seen him before.I looked at all of them before finally speaking.“Who lives there?”Mr. Alden took a slow breath before answering.“Nobody, at least not officially.”Ryan looked at him.“What does that mean?”“The property belongs to an old friend of mine, but it has been empty for years, although someone has been maintaining it from a d
