Lyra

He’s really something else.

My chest rose and fell sharply as I stared at him, Nick, standing there like he’d just declared war on the entire world. My pulse hammered, and my heart did a strange, painful twist. The officers, still stunned from his punch, scrambled clumsily to their feet. Their uniforms looked less intimidating now, their composure cracked, but one finally stepped forward, jaw clenched.

“Since that’s what you want…” the officer muttered through his teeth. He yanked Nick’s arms forward and snapped the cuffs around his wrists. The metallic click echoed sharply in the still air. “You’re under arrest.”

Nick didn’t resist. He didn’t even flinch. Instead, he tilted his head toward me, lips curving into a smile that sent a storm of emotions tearing through my chest. He let the officer shove him toward the van and slid in beside me, the metal of his cuffs brushing against mine.

When his eyes met mine, they gleamed with something reckless, something dangerous. “I’m with yo

  • FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA    Chapter 57 - I want you tonight

    LyraI danced into the shared room, unable to stop the grin stretched across my face. My cheeks hurt from smiling, but I didn’t care. The air felt different around me, light, electric.Mirae froze mid-motion, the knife still in her hand, the fruit she was cutting forgotten. Her brows shot up in shock.“Did something good happen?” she asked, her tone cautious but curious. She held a slice of mango, juice dripping onto her fingers, staring at me like I had completely lost it.I rushed over to her and hugged her tightly, laughter spilling out of me. “Yes, Mirae! Something more than good. Thank you for calling Nick! You’re seriously the best.”Her body stiffened in my arms. “What’s gotten into you? You’re making me uncomfortable.” She tried to squirm away, but I held on for a second longer before letting go.I bit my lip, my heart fluttering all over again. I couldn’t tell her everything, the truth about Jay, about how it wasn’t him all this while. She’d never believe me. Still, I couldn

  • FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA    Chapter 56 - First day together?

    Lyra“Suck me!”The words burst out of me before I could stop them. My voice cracked, desperate, trembling.Nick’s eyes, red, wild, like molten fire, snapped up to mine. For a heartbeat, he froze, staring at me as if I had just punched the air out of him. His chest rose and fell raggedly, his lips quivering like he was fighting something inside.I was supposed to run. That was what he wanted. That was what he begged me to do. But my legs never moved. How could I leave him here, breaking apart, when I knew he’d die without me?His eyes twitched, the red burning brighter, and for a terrifying moment, I thought he would actually do it, that he would sink his fangs into me, drink until I crumbled in his arms.He leaned closer, his lips hovering above the blood seeping from my palm. I held my breath, closed my eyes, bracing myself. My heart pounded so hard I thought it might burst.But instead of the sharp sting I expected, I felt something else, warm, careful, tender.I gasped and opened

    Nick“What? Love?” Damian spat, his voice sharp, mocking, cutting through the air like glass. His lips curled in disdain as he took a step closer. “Do you even know what love is? Huh?” His tone dripped with venom, eyes narrowing like daggers aimed straight at me.Rage swelled inside me, burning through my chest. My hands clenched into fists so tight my claws almost pierced my own palms. Love? He had no right to even utter that word. This man, this monster, didn’t know the first thing about it.He abandoned us, he abandoned me. He abused my mother until she broke, until she had no choice but to run. And yet she still carried me inside her, the child of that same monster who now stood before me, mocking everything I had ever protected.I could still hear her voice when she told me the truth. The way her eyes welled up when she admitted how he used to hurt her, how she endured his cruelty until she couldn’t anymore. And this… this was the man who had cursed me. My curse wasn’t some rand

  • FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA    Chapter 54 – Bloodlines of Curse

    Lyra“Nick, please… save me!” My voice tore out of me, broken and desperate, my palms clapped tightly together as if prayer alone could bring him.But the silence mocked me.Now I regretted everything. Every doubt. Every cruel word. Every time I didn’t believe him. Nick wasn’t the killer werewolf… he never was. And yet here I was, trapped in this nightmare, staring into the twisted smile of a monster who had worn Jay’s face like a mask. My mind screamed, trying to make sense of it, Jay wasn’t Jay. He was never Jay. He was this. Damian.His breath ghosted over my skin, hot and vile, his fangs already grazing the side of my neck. My body stiffened, my pulse screaming in terror.“No!” With every ounce of strength I had, I jerked forward, ramming my forehead into his temple. His growl ripped through the silence, low and furious.“Ouch…” Damian’s head tilted back, his hand clutching at his temple.I didn’t wait. My legs moved before my brain caught up. I ran. I ran like a madwoman, like th

  • FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA    Chapter 53 – Shadows in Disguise

    Lyra“Are you there?” The officer’s voice rang out from the other end of the phone, sharp and official.My throat closed. No. This can’t be happening. My stomach twisted violently. My Nick… what if he was in danger because of this? I couldn’t let that happen.“I—” my voice cracked, but before I could speak again, the officer continued, his tone heavy with suspicion.“We would need to recheck the clothes you gave us that day. Please return them so we can analyze again… or do you know who owned those clothes?”The world stopped spinning for a moment. My lungs froze, but then, relief. They didn’t know. They weren’t sure. I exhaled shakily, my shoulders sagging as the tension bled out of me.Before I could answer, Mirae snatched the phone on the floor, her eyes wide, her jaw tight. “We just found that coat on the floor,” she said smoothly, though her tone shook with impatience. “And we’ve thrown it away. We don’t have it anymore.”She didn’t wait for their response. Her thumb hit the scre

  • FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA    Chapter 52 – Collision

    LyraJay was sprawled on the bed beside me, breathing softly, his lips curved into a faint smile as if he were having the best dream of his life. That stupid smile only fueled my rage. My chest tightened, heat rising in my veins until it spilled out of me.With a sharp growl, I grabbed a fistful of his hair and yanked hard.His eyes shot open wide, startled, his body jerking upright. “What the—what’s going on?” His voice was rough, confused, as he blinked rapidly at me.“What did you do to me?” I snapped, my voice breaking under the weight of fury and fear. “You bastard! People like you can’t be trusted.” My fists trembled as I pointed at him. “You took advantage of me last night, didn’t you? How dare you!”Before he could answer, I lunged forward and slammed my forehead into his nose. The crack was sickening. Blood gushed instantly as he cried out, staggering back, clutching his face. His eyes fluttered, rolling unfocused, and then his body collapsed against the bed with a dull thud.
