Lyra

“Wh…at? How?”

The words tumbled out of my mouth before I could stop them. My eyes widened as the figure came closer into view. My heart stuttered.

“You!” I blurted, half in shock, half in disbelief.

The guy froze mid-step. He wasn’t even dressed properly, just a boxer clinging low on his waist, his bare chest gleaming with sweat as if he’d just stepped out of a workout or rolled out of bed. His sharp features tightened when his eyes met mine, and for a split second, he looked like a deer caught in headlights.

And then, just like that, he spun on his heel and bolted, disappearing down the hallway as fast as his legs could carry him..

A small, nervous chuckle slipped from my lips. I couldn’t help it. “Did that… just happen?”

Beside me, Mirae stood frozen, her mouth hanging open, eyes stretched wide in shock. She looked like a statue, completely locked in place.

Nick, still kneeling on the floor from moments ago, twisted his head toward me, his expression a mix of confusion and disb

  • FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA    Chapter 76 – The sacrifice

    Lyra“Sacrificed?” The word ripped out of me like a scream I couldn’t control. My whole body shook. “What does that mean?”Mirae just stood there, her face calm, her eyes empty. She didn’t look like the Mirae I knew, the one who used to laugh so loudly, who would sneak snacks into our dorm room, who always brushed things off like nothing ever touched her. No, this Mirae looked… tamed. Controlled. Like something inside her had been switched off.“What the hell is going on?” My voice cracked. My chest felt tight, my throat burning.She tilted her head slightly, almost like she pitied me. “It means you’ll be cut into two. Your blood will be poured out before everyone. And our lord, Alpha Damian, will drink it.”I froze. My stomach churned violently, bile rising up my throat. “What do you mean—your lord?”The way she said it was too casual, like she was describing the weather.“Mirae…” My words broke, my hands trembling as I pressed them against the iron bars. “Are you sure you’re okay? Y

  • FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA    Chapter 75 – Reason for her death

    MiraeMy whole body shook as I stood behind Damian. My hands were clammy, my knees weak, but I had no choice. To Lyra, I must have looked like a frightened girl caught in the wrong place, but deep down I knew the truth. I wasn’t who she thought I was. I had never been.Damian was my savior, or at least that’s what I was raised to believe. From the moment I was pulled into his world, I owed him everything, including my loyalty, my silence, and my body. The life Lyra thought I lived, the parents she thought I had, it was all a lie. Everything about me was crafted to make me fit into the role of his weapon.And Lyra… she was never just my friend. She was my mission.I remembered how it began. They said the Alpha was sick, cursed, dying. The prophecy spoke of a human girl who could save him. I volunteered before anyone else could. I wanted to be the one to find her. To earn her trust. To hand her over when the time came.So I did. I walked into her life like a gift, treated her like a sis

  • FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA    Chapter 74 – The dagger to the heart

    Lyra“I’m having a party this Saturday. I’m inviting you.” Rixa’s voice was light, almost playful, as she leaned from the front seat, handing out little invitation cards to Nick and Jasper.Her smile was too sweet for my liking, like sugar hiding poison. She pushed the card into Nick’s hand, then slipped one toward Jasper, who was sitting beside me.“What’s with your face?” she asked Jasper, her eyes flicking over the bruises scattered across his cheek and jaw. Her tone carried fake concern, but her grin lingered like she was enjoying the sight.Jasper’s jaw tightened. He shifted in his seat, avoiding her gaze. Nick must’ve taught him a lesson.But I wasn’t even there with them. My mind was far away, lost in the storm of Mirae’s face when she screamed those words at me. I hate you. The sound still rang in my ears, louder than anything else.I pulled out my phone, my hands trembling as I dialed Mirae’s number. My heart pounded, desperate for her to pick up. But all I got was the cold,

  • FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA    Chapter 73–Break!

    Lyra“Isn’t that…?” Nick's voice cracked as I tugged him away from the spot where Mirae had been. My chest felt tight, my head spinning. I kept replaying the image of her walking toward that silhouette, covered from head to toe. Who the hell was that?Nick’s grip on me was firm, grounding. His eyes searched my face, sharp with concern as we walked back. “Are you okay? You’ve been quiet.” His voice was steady, but his brows pinched, and I could tell he didn’t believe any answer I might give.“Yes, of course.” The lie slipped out on a sigh, my throat heavy. I tried to force a smile, but it didn’t reach my eyes. My chest still carried that sting of unease.“You are n—” Nick’s words cut short as we both turned. A wave of students burst down the hallway, running in every direction, their voices panicked and sharp.My heart leapt. “What’s going on?” I asked, panic rising in my voice.Nick pulled me close, his hand tight around mine. “It must be the cops,” he said quickly, scanning the chaos

  • FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA    Chapter 72- The unknown

    LyraI couldn’t see who was coming, only heard the soft, uneven crunch of footsteps echoing toward me. My chest tightened. My hand flew to my mouth to stifle a scream. Whoever, or whatever—it was, was moving faster now.I spotted a loose plank nearby. Instinct took over. I grabbed it, gripping it tightly, my muscles tense. As a shadow grew in front of me, I swung with all my strength.“Ahhh!” The figure yelped, hitting the floor. Relief washed over me, but it was fleeting, the person scrambled up, chasing me.“Lyra!”Nick’s voice shattered the panic. He was suddenly there, grabbing me, his arms tight around me in a grip that almost made my heart stop.“W…what…” I stammered, words failing me.“I didn't know it was you…I was so scared, I thought I was being followed by Damian…sorry for hitting you.”“Shh…” he whispered, pulling me closer. His chest pressed against mine, warm and solid. I could feel his heartbeat against my own, steady, grounding.“I saw a dead body,” I breathed, pointin

  • FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA    Chapter 71 - The trail

    LyraNick’s eyes narrowed as they locked on mine. “What is it? Why are you staring at me like that?” His hand reached toward me, worry etched in his brows.I froze. Nick still doesn't know that after that night I started seeing things..things that will happen in the future.So how could I tell him what I’d just seen? The blood at the corner of his mouth… the sign. That It meant death was coming for him. I couldn’t say it. So I forced a laugh and shook my head.“I was just staring at how handsome you look.” That wasn't partly a lie. Nick's always looking good.His ears flushed pink, and he looked down shyly. That was the first time I’d ever seen him shy. All because of my words. Something about it made me smile, though a heavy ache pressed in my chest.“You both should come and eat before the food gets cold,” Jasper’s voice cut in, snapping the moment.We sat down. Nick had cooked. I couldn’t wait to taste his food, not just because I was hungry, but because it was him.He pushed a dis
