FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA Chapter 195
LyraMy fingers tightened around the dagger.The weight of it felt heavier than it should, like it carried every choice I had ever made… and every consequence waiting on the other side of this moment.My body trembled as I stepped forward.One step……then another.The ground beneath my boots felt uneven, like it might give way at any second, but I didn’t stop. Damien saw me coming and for the first time since I had known him, the arrogance on his face cracked.His lips parted slightly, his brows pulling together just enough to betray him, and something cold slid through my chest at the sight.My grip tightened.Do it.The healer’s voice cut through my head, sharp and unyielding.Go ahead, don’t hesitate to end it now.My heartbeat pounded in my ears, loud, uneven.If you stop now… everything we’ve done will mean nothing.The words echoed, over and over, pressing into me, pushing me forward.Drive it into his chest.My hand lifted slightly. The blade caught the light.Damien’s eyes fl
FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA Chapter 194
LyraWhat's Nick doing here? I hope nothing bad happens to him tonight...... he's not supposed to be here in his current state right now.“Good,” Damien's voice snapped me from my thoughts. “That makes this more fun.”The words barely settled before his expression shifted. He tightened his grip around my throat just enough to make my breath hitch, just enough to remind me I was still in his hand.Then his gaze slid past me….straight to Nick.A smile crept back onto his face, thinner this time, sharper.“Well,” he said, voice smooth as glass. “It’s good to have you all here.”My stomach twisted. “All of you,” he repeated, glancing briefly toward where Jay and the healer stood, unmoving, watching.Then his eyes returned to Nick.“And now…” His fingers flexed slightly against my throat, making my pulse spike. “…I can finish this. Right here and right now.”Nick didn’t react immediately. That scared me more than if he had shouted. He just stood there.“What are you doing?” Damien added,
FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA Chapter 193
Lyra“How dare you—!” The words tore out of me before I could stop them. I barely registered moving. One second I was standing in the clearing, staring at Damien with my heart clawing against my ribs, and the next I was lunging forward, straight toward him, straight into his space, straight into his trap.The healer’s grip snapped out too late. Something invisible hit me mid-step, hard enough to knock the breath from my lungs. My feet left the ground. My body jerked upward like I’d been yanked by unseen chains.A strangled gasp escaped me as I hung there….suspended.“What the—?”My limbs jerked instinctively, trying to find balance, something to push against, anything. There was nothing. Just emptiness under my boots and a pressure wrapping around my body, tightening like a fist.Below me, Damien didn’t even flinch. He didn’t look surprised, instead he looked… entertained.A slow, amused laugh rolled out of him, low and rich, like he’d been waiting for this exact moment.“Oh,” he sai
FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA Chapter 192
LyraMy pulse pounded so hard it felt like it might burst through my chest.The forest had gone completely silent except for Damien’s voice echoing through the trees and the faint rustle of wind against the leaves.“I know you’re here!” Damien shouted again.His voice carried easily through the night, sharp and confident, like a hunter who already knew where his prey was hiding.I stood frozen behind the thick trunk of a tree, my breath shallow. My eyes stayed locked on the scene in front of us.Rixa lay crumpled on the stone steps.Blood soaked the sleeve of her shirt and dripped slowly onto the ground beneath her. One side of her face was swollen badly, her lip split open. Her chest moved weakly with shallow breaths.Jay’s body stiffened beside me. “Damn it…” he muttered under his breath.The healer stood on my other side, completely still, his hands folded behind his back like he was observing a lecture instead of a nightmare.Damien rolled his neck slowly, like he had all the pati
FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA Chapter 191
Lyra“You need to get this right and get your shit together! Got it!” The healer’s voice cracked through the room like a whip.I could feel the words still hanging in the air, heavy and sharp. My chest rose slowly as I breathed in, but it felt like the air had turned thick.Nick stood beside me, silent. I turned my head and looked at him.His jaw was tight. Not the usual annoyed kind of tight, but the kind that meant he was holding something in. His fingers curled slowly into fists at his sides.A dull ache twisted in my stomach.I forced myself to look away before guilt swallowed me whole.“Do you get this, Nick?” I asked quietly. My voice sounded steadier than I felt.Nick’s head turned toward me immediately. His eyes searched my face like he was trying to read something I wasn’t saying.“I don’t know why you keep letting us go through the same argument,” I continued, folding my arms across my chest to keep my hands from shaking. “We’ve been over this a thousand times.”Nick’s brows
FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA Chapter 190
LyraCan I really trust this man? “What about me?” Jay’s voice cut across the silence. It echoed through the room so suddenly that I blinked in surprise.Right……Jay.For a moment I had completely forgotten he was there. He had been leaning against the far wall, half hidden in the shadows like someone watching a play unfold. His arms were crossed, one shoulder resting lazily against the wooden beam behind him.Now he straightened.My thoughts about the healer scattered instantly.Of course Jay was here.How did I forget that?The healer turned toward him slowly. His eyes narrowed slightly, like he had expected the interruption.“We will need you later,” the healer said calmly.Jay raised a brow. “Later?” he repeated.“You already told us some of the weaknesses,” the healer continued, folding the map back into his coat. “But you haven’t told us everything.”Jay’s expression sharpened.“You’ll explain the rest to Lyra,” the healer added. “When she meets Alpha Damian. She'll need to know
FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA Chapter 22 – I like it red
LyraThe bathroom was quiet except for the faint hum of the fan, but inside me, everything was loud. My heartbeat thudded in my ears, matching the dull ache in my stomach. I leaned against the sink for balance, staring at my reflection. My cheeks were red, blushing, even in pain, and I didn’t know

Lyra“Eemmm…” My voice cracked before I could even form a full sentence. My throat felt dry, my tongue heavy. How could I possibly tell them I saw it all in a dream? That I’d seen the man’s death before anyone told me? They’d think I was insane. Or worse… they’d think I was involved.So I shut my m

Lyra My eyes widened like saucers the moment I heard it."My woman."Those words echoed in my head, crashing against every wall of my chest, bouncing off my ribs like they were trying to anchor themselves into my heart.He said it like he meant it. Like I wasn’t just some broken girl with a tickin

LyraFor a moment, I just stared at the screen, completely still, my breath caught somewhere between disbelief and hope. My chest rose and fell as I read the message again and again. “Nothing was found. It’s a miracle. You’re healed.”I wanted to scream. To cry. To laugh. I almost jumped right the
