“Lyra, please—no. Don’t do this to me.”

The words rushed out of my mouth raw and unplanned, like I was afraid silence would seal her decision if I paused even for a second. She stood a few steps away from me, her resignation letter still between us like a thin white blade. Her shoulders were stiff, her chin lifted in that stubborn way I remembered too well. The way she looked when she had already decided something and nothing in the world could bend her back.

“You just came back into my life,” I went on, my voice lowering, rougher. “You don’t get to walk out again. I can’t let you leave me."

Her lips parted slightly, then pressed together. She let out a breath that sounded tired.

“Nick,” she said quietly, rubbing her forehead with her fingers as if she had a headache that never went away. “I really can’t do this. Seriously, I can’t.”

She finally looked at me then, and the look in her eyes almost undid me. It wasn’t anger. It wasn’t hatred. It was exhaustion. The kind that comes f

  • FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA    Chapter 113

    NickBen’s voice reached me before I even saw him.“Alpha… what exactly are you planning to do with her now that she’s here?”I was seated by the window, one leg crossed over the other, a glass of wine balanced loosely in my fingers. The city lights outside glowed softly, indifferent to everything happening inside these walls. I took a slow sip, letting the taste settle, letting the moment breathe.A smile curved on my lips before I answered.“What do you think I’m going to do with her?”I finally looked up.Ben stood a few steps inside the room, arms folded tightly across his chest. His jaw was tense, his eyes cautious, like he was standing in front of a bomb that could go off any second.“I don’t know, Alpha,” he said carefully. “But this… this isn’t right. This is kidnapping.”I chuckled under my breath, amused more than offended.“Kidnapping,” I repeated lazily, swirling the wine. “You make it sound so ugly.”“It is ugly,” Ben insisted. “What if she—”“Ben,” I cut in sharply, sett

    Lyra“What are you doing? Let go of me!”My voice tore out of my throat, sharp and wild, echoing off the walls as if the room itself was startled by my panic. Hands clamped around my arms, firm, unyielding. I twisted, kicked, clawed at the air, anything to get free.“Nick, let me go….please!” My plea cracked halfway through. I hated how desperate it sounded, how weak it made me feel. “Let go of me!”They didn’t.The men holding me were built like walls, their grips tightened every time I struggled, like my resistance was only convincing them to hold harder.“Nick” I screamed, my head snapping in his direction. “What the hell are you doing? I said let go of me!”My heart was slamming so hard against my ribs it hurt. Every breath felt jagged, uneven, like my lungs had forgotten how to work properly.“You shouldn’t force me to stay here,” I shouted, my voice hoarse now. “I don’t want to stay here! You don’t get to decide that!”Nick stepped closer. His eyes never left mine, dark and rest

    Nick“Are you crazy? Rixa…what are you doing? Drop that gun, now!.”My voice tore out of me louder than I expected, sharp enough to slice through the thick tension hanging in the room. But Rixa didn’t even flinch. Her hands shook, yes, but her grip on the pistol was tight and the wildness in her eyes made everything inside me clench.“I’m not going to drop the gun,” she fired back, breathing hard. “You think you can just toss me? You brought me here only to bring her here. And now you’re trying to toss me aside like I’m some kind of what? Some stray? Some spare part?” Her voice cracked, but her aim didn’t. “Do you really think I would let that happen? It’s not going to work. It’s either you choose me, or I shoot her.”Her words hit the room like stones.And the gun… God, the gun was pointed straight at Lyra.Lyra froze beside me, her breath catching, her fingers curling into her palms. Her eyes flicked from Rixa to me fear swirling in her eyes.I stepped in front of her instantly.“Go

    NickMy throat tightened the moment the words left her mouth.“What… how did you...?” The rest of my sentence died before it even formed. My voice just… collapsed. It was like my tongue forgot how to function because nothing made sense.But Rixa didn’t hesitate. She jumped in immediately, raising her voice like she had been waiting for this exact moment, like she had practiced this dramatic reveal in front of a mirror.“You thought I didn’t know?” she snapped, her chest rising quickly, her eyes wide. “I knew about everything, Nick. Everything. I knew how she was pregnant...”My body moved before my brain caught up.My hands shot straight to her neck.Not choking, just gripping, hard enough to stop her words, hard enough to show her she had crossed a line she wasn’t supposed to even know existed.Her eyes stretched, glossy with shock.My own eyes felt like they were falling out of their sockets.“What?” I croaked. “Pregnant?? How??”My voice cracked so sharply it felt like glass breaki

  • FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA    CHAPTER 108

    NickMy breath stopped.My eyes widened so fast it almost hurt, because standing right in front of me, right here, in the darkness I had been expecting someone else in, was Rixa.Rixa and not Lyra, not the person my stupid heart had been beating like a malfunctioning drum for.What the actual hell?My throat tightened, and before my brain could process anything, my mouth moved on its own.“What are you doing here?”The words came out sharp, almost cracking at the edges. It wasn’t anger alone, it was confusion swallowing me whole.Rixa stepped forward, her heels clicking softly against the concrete floor. Her expression flickered between nervousness and something performative. Her lips parted slightly, like she had rehearsed this moment.“Why…?” she started, lifting a trembling hand toward my shoulder.But instinct kicked in and I moved back quickly, catching her wrist mid-air. My grip was firm, more defensive than aggressive, and I saw it immediately….Her face shifted,her eyes widene
