Nick’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.

  • 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

    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 "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
