FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA EPILOGUE
LyraIf someone had told me I would stand here one day, wearing white, about to promise my life to someone I once forgot, I wouldn’t have believed them.Not because I didn’t believe in love…but because I knew what it felt like to lose it.And yet…here I am.I stared at my reflection, my fingers lightly touching the edge of my dress, smoothing nothing just to have something to do. The ring on my finger caught the light, and for a second, my chest tightened.This was real.“You’re doing it again.”Mirae’s voice came from behind me. I met her eyes in the mirror, she was leaning against the door, arms crossed, already dressed, already watching me like she knew exactly what was going on in my head.“What now?” I asked softly.“That look,” she said. “Like you’re about to run.”I let out a quiet breath. “I’m not running.”She pushed herself off the door and walked closer, stopping beside me.“Good,” she said. “Because I already wore heels for this. I’m not wasting it.”That made me smile. I

LyraI swallowed, my fingers tightening slightly at my sides as I forced myself to speak.“For us to feel this…” I started, my voice quieter now but steadier. “This pull… this connection… all of this—”I gestured weakly between us. “It means there’s something.”His eyes didn’t leave mine. Not even for a second.“We need to find out what that is.”The words had barely settled when….Something hit me hard.A sharp, sudden pressure in my head.My breath caught.“—Lyra?”But I couldn’t answer. Because suddenly…..Images, came out of nowhere fast and blinding in my head.My body froze. My eyes widened.My hand flew to my head instinctively as I gasped.“Ah—!”“Hey—what’s wrong?” Nick stepped forward immediately, his voice filled with panic.But I couldn’t hear him properly anymore.Because I was seeing….Everything.Me and him so close.My arms wrapped around him….holding him tightly like I was afraid to let go.His hands on my waist, his lips on mine.His laugh…..My laugh.His voice calling

Lyra“Hey—hey… can you hear me? Open your eyes. Wake up.”The voices came in pieces, blurred and overlapping.Like they were fighting to reach me at the same time. My head throbbed.A dull, heavy ache that made it hard to think, hard to breathe properly. My lashes fluttered, and for a second, everything was just light and shadow.I gasped.My eyes snapped open. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar.I blinked rapidly, my chest rising and falling unevenly as I tried to focus.Shapes slowly formed.A figure on the floor in front of me.Huge and still.“What—”I jerked slightly, my body reacting before my mind could catch up. My heart pounded as I pushed myself up just a little, my hands pressing into the surface beneath me.“What the heck—”“Lyra!”The voice snapped me out of it, I turned.And I saw Mirae. And..Him…Nick.They were both standing close, their faces filled with fear.“What happened to me?” I asked, my voice hoarse, my brows pulling together.“You fainted,” Mirae said quickl

Lyra“…Why does this hurt?” I whispered, my voice barely holding together.Mirae turned to me immediately, she noticed. Her expression shifted so fast it made my chest tighten, her playful smile gone, replaced with something sharp, worried… real.“Hey…hey.” Her hands came up quickly, resting on my arms, steadying me. “Are you okay, Lyra?”Lyra.The name felt… distant. Like it belonged to someone else.“You’ve been acting weird since you woke up,” she continued, her brows pulling together as her eyes searched mine, trying to understand something I couldn’t even explain. “And now you’re crying just by seeing Nick?”Her voice softened.“Talk to me. Please.”I swallowed hard.My throat felt dry, tight, like the words didn’t want to come out.“I…” My voice cracked slightly. “I don’t know what’s happening.”Her grip on me tightened just a little.“What do you mean?”“I don’t know anything,” I said, shaking my head slowly, my fingers curling into the fabric of my outfit like I needed somethi

Lyra“Booo!”A loud voice exploded right beside my ear, dragging me out of whatever fog I had been trapped in.I jerked violently, my body snapping upright as my hand flew to my chest, my heart racing like I had just been chased.“What the—”“Finally!” the voice groaned dramatically.I blinked, my vision slowly focusing.A girl stood right in front of me.She had one hand on her waist, the other holding what looked like a makeup brush. Her outfit was… bold. A skin-tight skirt hugging her curves and a cropped top that showed just enough to make it clear she knew she looked good.She tilted her head, studying me like I was the strange one here.“What’s wrong with you?” she asked, raising a brow. “Why are you still in bed? Aren’t you going to class today?”I just stared at her. My mind was blank.“...Who are you?”The words slipped out before I could stop them.Her expression froze. Then twisted.“Excuse me?”I swallowed slowly, my fingers tightening around the sheets.“I asked… who are

LyraThis time… I didn’t hesitate. My arm lifted higher, the dagger trembling above my chest, the sharp tip hovering just over my skin. My breath came in slow.Like everything inside me had already accepted it.If this is what it takes… then fine.I tightened my grip and drove the blade down….But before it could touch me, a body slammed into mine.A sharp, sickening sound followed. The dagger slipped from my hand instantly, clattering to the ground.My eyes dropped and my heart shattered.“...Rixa?”Blood spread across her chest, dark and fast, soaking through her clothes like it couldn’t be contained. It dripped down, staining the ground beneath her.My hands shot forward, grabbing her shoulders before she could fall.“Rixa…?” My voice came out broken, barely holding together. “What….what did you do?!”No…Not what she did.What I did.My hands began to shake violently as the realization slammed into me.“I…” My lips trembled. “I didn’t…I wasn’t trying to…”My gaze dropped to the bloo

LyraDamn.“I want more…”My voice came out breathless, shaky, and Nick didn’t waste a second. His lips crashed into mine again, hard, hungry. My hands pressed into his hair, pulling him closer, needing more, craving it.His hands fumbled at my body while his mouth did the real damage, teasing, suc

LyraHis body went rigid, in shock, like my words had slammed into him harder than any slap ever could.“I want you.”The silence that followed was loud, Nick slowly turned around, like he was afraid I’d vanish if he moved too fast. His brows pulled together, lips parting slightly, eyes scanning my

NickI couldn’t stop pacing back and forth.The room felt too small, like the walls were inching closer every second. My footsteps echoed sharply against the floor, matching the frantic rhythm of my breathing. The ring was still in my hand, I hadn’t even realized I’d slipped it back onto my finger.

LyraThe moment he pulled away, the room seemed to tilt, I was still breathing hard, chest rising too fast, my legs trembling beneath me like they didn’t remember how to hold weight anymore. My fingers curled instinctively into the edge of the counter, knuckles pale, as if letting go would make eve
