I screamed at the sight before me, Coach Lucien was standing before me, a strange presence around him, his eyes glowed a soft but bright gold. His teeth looked longer, like a vampire's.... His eyebrows were raised as if surprised to see me
The scream escaped before I could stop it, he turned as a lady dressed in white rushed in. Only when she touched the drip in my hands did I realise where I was. Why was I in the hospital?
Why did Lucien look like a beast a minute ago, the nurse looked shocked as she checked my vitals. She mumbled something to Lucien before rushing out as fast as she came in.
Coach didn't turn to face me, his back was stiff, I watched as he clenched and unclenched his fist. Was he angry?
Something throbbed painfully in my head, almost felt like a creature was trying to escape, it hurt at a point and I winced. Only then did Lucien turn to face me. His eyes were no longer gold but red like he'd been crying or high on drugs
"Are you okay?" His voice was hoarse
"I'm fine" I answered, my voice coming out in a croak. I still couldn't remember what happened, the last thing I remembered was playing on the ice and ..... Kiera!!!. The memory jolted me up and I say upright, startling Lucien. He frowned as he faced me .
"Kiera, it was on purpose!"
He looked at me like I had lost my mind, it hurt to talk and my chest hurt so badly, the place where I was hit itched and I reached up to itch it
"You shouldn't do that" Lucien said, pulling my hands away, he paused as he checked. "There's no bruising? What the heck? A while ago, you were said to be unconscious and you had so big a scar on your neck. How is it gone?"
Nothing he said made sense, what bruising?. I was about to ask when the nurse returned with a doctor looking as confused as she was..
He checked my vitals, mirroring the nurse's same expression. Did I die? I couldn't help but wondered. The rest of the day went in a blur, hushed communications, shocked expressions and a lot of whispers.
Nobody explained what happened, all member of the team except Kiera came to check on me and also looked shocked to see me okay. They all hugged me, promising to come back to see me.
Lucien didn't leave, I noticed. He also didn't talk to me, I caught him starting at a time and couldn't explain his expression. He was usually always cold and expressionless. It was even harder trying to figure out what was going through his mind.
The school's principal also stopped by with a few staffs assuring me the bills were going to be sorted and all I had to do was get better.
Nothing made sense and I must have slept off cause the next thing I knew, I was in a different room, someone was with me but I couldn't see their face because they stood with their back to me, facing the window which revealed a beach on the outside.
I sighed softly as I tried to get off the bed, the person turned as I made a sound and rushed towards .
The figure turned out to be a female and it was weird but she looked like me, she sat at the edge of the bed and held my hands in hers
"Lena, my baby. Are you okay?" She asked, her already puffy eyes watering up. She had been crying
"I'm okay. Who are you?" I asked, gently pulling my hands away from her hold.
She released my hands, her lips lowering sadly .. "I'm your mother. I'm sorry I've not been around. You've grown up to become a beautiful lady." As if on impulse, she brushed a strand of hair off my face.
I frowned and moved back, My mother? Where has she been all this while and why was she acting like I was to be comfortable around her. I didn't even know her. "My mother?"
"Yes Lena. I can't say much but your life would change now, so many things won't make sense but you can trust him" she said before pointing to a corner.
Only then did I see another person in the shadows, his figure was familiar, I was sure I had seen him somewhere.
"Who is he?" I asked, trying to see the face but to no avail m
"He's the one fated to you by the moon goddess. Let him help you" she stood up and began to walk away. I tried to call her but she walked away, the figure in the shadows also walked out.
"Mother!!!" I screamed and woke up. It was a dream.
The room was dark, I was still in the hospital. The Moon shine brightly into the room, it looked different tonight like it was calling out to me. I stood up and walked towards the window like a lamb to the slaughter. I pressed my face to the window and kept my gaze on the moon.
It was so beautiful, was it always like this? I picked up the scent of water which was odd. Water had no smell. My heart rate picked up as I sensed a presence in the room.
My body was reacting differently, I didn't sense people, my smell seemed to be heightened and I could hear heartbeat that wasn't mine
What was going on?
Whoever was in the room stood up and walked to the window. I was scared to turn but I caught a whiff of something, it was the coach.
I faced him and gasped, his naturally cold face now looked furious and I could swear it glowed, his face. He looked different, I could pick two heartbeats.
"What's going on?" I asked
He scoffed and moved closer. "I should ask you. What the hell are you and what are you planning?"

Crushed On The Rink: Falling For My Coldest Enemy Chapter 21
Lena’s POVI should have been exhausted, but sleep wouldn’t come. My mind kept replaying the scene in the hallway with Lucien, the way he’d loomed so close, the way his eyes had flashed gold, the way my breath had caught even though I hated him for humiliating me.It wasn’t fair. I should only feel anger. And I did, anger burned like acid, scorching every corner of me. But under it, buried deep, was something else. The memory of his scent clung to me, like winter air biting at my lungs. I hated how my body reacted. I hated that a part of me wanted to step closer instead of away. Why did I feel this way toward him, after all the humiliation, the sharp words, the way he made me feel small in front of everyone? It didn’t make sense. It felt wrong. And yet my chest still ached for answers only he seemed to hold.I pressed my palms into my eyes and groaned. “What is wrong with me?”Sarah glanced up from her desk, her pen tapping against her notebook. “You’ve got that face, like someone sna
Crushed On The Rink: Falling For My Coldest Enemy Chapter 20
Lena’s POVI tried to keep my face neutral, to just be Lena Brooklyn at hockey practice, but every sound was sharper, every movement in my peripheral vision felt like a potential threat. My body was a live wire, still humming from everything I’d learned. His eyes burned into me, unrelenting.Lucien was already on the ice, carving slow, powerful circles into the center. He wasn’t just brooding today; he was a storm cloud made of man.The moment I stepped through the gate, his gaze locked onto me, intense and unblinking. Like he knew I’d spent time with Collins. A shiver ran down my spine, sharp and inexplicable, as if something inside me recognized the danger before my mind could.He blew his whistle, the sound so sharp and sudden that half the team flinched. “Listen up.” His voice was a low growl that carried over the ice. Everyone immediately fell silent. “This is Elijah. He’s your new assistant coach.”My eyes followed his gesture to the guy standing beside him. Elijah looked young,
Crushed On The Rink: Falling For My Coldest Enemy Chapter 19
Lena’s POVThe heavy rink doors swung shut behind me, sealing off the world of polished ice and leaving me alone in the chill of the evening. Talking with Collins had left me feeling completely untethered, a messy knot of hope and confusion tightening in my gut. Part of me wanted to grab onto the lifeline he’d thrown me, but Lucian’s low and serious warning was a constant, ugly echo I couldn’t shake. I felt utterly alone with it all.I stopped on the sidewalk, digging my phone out of my pocket. Checking my student email was a useless habit, something I did when I was bored. It was never anything but university spam and reminders about deadlines I already knew. But tonight, a weird, nagging feeling pulled at me. I thumbed the app open.There it was. A new message from the university archives, sent just an hour ago. My breath hitched. The subject line read: “Re: Your inquiry about historical campus societies and private collections.”My blood ran cold. I had never sent that query. I kne
Crushed On The Rink: Falling For My Coldest Enemy Chapter 18
Lena’s POVThe nightmare didn’t end when I woke up.I jerked upright in bed, tangled in my sheets like I’d been fighting something all night. My chest heaved, my heart pounding so hard it felt like the whole room could hear it. I clutched at my throat, desperate to feel the cool weight of my pendant, but my fingers found nothing, just damp skin and the wild pulse beneath it.They’ll take it from you.My mother’s voice threaded through the silence, low and broken. It wasn’t a memory. It was more like she was still here, whispering from somewhere I couldn’t reach. The sound hollowed me out.Then the hunger hit.It wasn’t normal hunger. It was sharp and greedy, a twisting emptiness that no amount of food ever seemed to touch. I’d eaten more than enough at dinner, yet my stomach clawed for more. I slipped out of bed, my bare feet biting against the cold floor, and opened the mini-fridge. Sarah’s leftover pizza sat in a greasy box. I devoured two slices standing there in the dark, barely t
Crushed On The Rink: Falling For My Coldest Enemy Chapter 17
Lena’s POVBy the time Collins and I made it to the rink, the lights were already on, the sound of skates and sticks filling the air. I slowed when I saw him, Lucian. He was already there, standing near the bench, whistle hanging from his neck, arms folded across his chest.My heart lurched so hard it almost knocked the breath from me. What? How was he here? We had left him behind, outside Collins’s building, standing in the dark. I hadn’t spoken to him, hadn’t even looked back. And yet he was here now, in front of everyone, as if he’d been waiting all along. My stomach twisted, cold and hot at once. His eyes cut over me, unreadable, before he blew the whistle. “On the ice.”I hurried into gear, lacing skates with trembling fingers. Collins brushed my shoulder in silent reassurance before sliding onto the rink. I followed, the air biting cold against my cheeks.At first, practice went smoothly. I kept my focus sharp, my movements clean. Collins moved in sync with me, cutting passes, b
Crushed On The Rink: Falling For My Coldest Enemy Chapter 16
Lucien’s POVI told myself to walk away. To leave her alone for the night, let her breathe, let myself breathe. But my wolf didn’t believe me. He never did when it came to her.That was why I found myself standing outside Collins’s building, half-hidden in shadow, staring up at the window where I could feel her presence. Her heartbeat carried faintly through the night, quick and unsteady, every beat pulling at me. And his was there too—Collins’s rhythm, calm, intrusive, pressed too near to hers.My wolf growled low in my chest. He’s with her. He’s touching her. She is ours. Not his.I dragged in a breath of cold air, trying to ground myself, but it only carried their scents to me, hers sweet and sharp, his warm and smug. My fists tightened until the leather of my gloves creaked. I should leave. I should go back, pretend none of this mattered. But it did. It mattered too much.I pulled out my phone before I could stop myself. My thumb hovered, then pressed. She picked up fast, her voic
