"What… are you?" I whispered, my voice barely a breath, shaking like a leaf caught in a storm.

Nick stared down at me, his eyes still glowing, icy, sharp, unreadable. His chest rose and fell with a wild rhythm, and his lips, those same lips that had kissed me like they needed me were brushing against mine again. My body tensed. I wanted to fight, to push him away, but the heat of his mouth on mine melted my resistance.

No. No, no, no—

I tried to move, to scream, but everything started spinning. My vision flickered like a faulty light bulb. His face blurred. My legs gave out.

And then… nothing.

~~~

“Lyra! Lyra!”

A familiar voice echoed in the distance, frantic and cracking with emotion.

My eyelids fluttered open.

Bright lights, then a face, Mirae’s, hovering over me, tears streaming down her cheeks like she’d been crying for hours. Her eyes were wide and bloodshot, panic dancing in them.

“Why are you crying?” I croaked, throat dry. I reached up weakly to touch her face.

  • FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA    Chapter 116

    LyraGet a grip of yourself, Lyra.That was the first thing running through my head, even though my heart was behaving like it had completely resigned from its job. It was pounding so hard I felt like it wanted to climb out of my chest, run away, and leave me behind to deal with this insanity alone.Nick’s arms were still around me, carrying me like I weighed nothing. My entire body was tense, like someone had poured electricity into my veins. My words came out shaky, scattered, messy, just like my brain.“Drop me down now, please,” I whispered, trying to sound calm, but my voice betrayed me. It wobbled like a sick cartoon character.Nick didn’t even blink.Instead, he leaned closer.So close his breath warmed the side of my face, so close I could count each dark lash framing his eyes, so close my heart basically stopped beating for a while.“I’m never dropping you,” he murmured, voice deep enough to scramble my entire nervous system. “Do not talk....anymore.”The way he said it… slow

    Lyra“Caught you! Now you can’t run away from me.”Nick’s voice sliced through the air behind me. The moment I heard it, my entire body locked up like someone had pressed pause on me. My leg literally froze mid-step. I couldn’t move, not even an inch.Panic exploded through my chest.Shit. What am I going to do? What am I going to do?!I needed to leave immediately. I forced my leg forward, one shaky step, trying to keep going, pretending I didn’t hear him.“STOP RIGHT THERE!”His voice thundered again, louder this time, sharp enough that people in the hospital corridor jerked around to look at him.Then he added, loud enough to echo off the walls:“If you move an inch, I’m going to kiss you!”My head snapped around so fast I could’ve sworn something cracked in my neck.Every single person around us went silent.And I, like an idiot, just turned.I don’t even know why. Reflex? Madness? Curiosity? Stupidity?Probably all of the above.“Oh my God,” I whispered under my breath. “This gu

    LyraMy chest burned.Not the sharp, stabbing kind of pain, this was worse. This was panic, desperation, fear, all tangled together and squeezing my lungs until every breath felt too small. I clutched my hands against my chest as I bent forward slightly, gasping, my shoulders shaking as I tried to steady myself.I had been running.Running without looking back.Now I was pressed against the cold white wall of a hospital corridor, hidden just enough behind the corner, my bare feet stinging against the icy tiles. The fluorescent lights above hummed softly, mocking how calm everything looked compared to the storm ripping through me.Oh, thank God.He didn’t catch me.A shaky breath slipped out of me, half a laugh, half a sob. My head fell back against the wall, eyes squeezing shut as my heart slammed wildly against my ribs.I did it....I actually did it.He’s so dumb.The thought came unfiltered, bitter and sharp, and for a brief second, it made me smile. A crooked, exhausted smile that

    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“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
