~Lucy~

The room is dimly lit, quiet, and unnervingly neat, but I can feel him here. The smell of alcohol hangs thick in the air, like it’s been his only companion since he got home.

Why is it so dark? Is this his way of mourning his brother, keeping the house swallowed in darkness? It’s not just dark; it’s… unsettling.

“Rhett?” I call again for what feels like the billionth time, but still nothing.

I had knocked, rung the bell, waited but no answer. And the door was unlocked, so I let myself in, only to be met with this silence and the heavy scent of liquor. Sadness swells in my chest. This moment must be hard for him and for reasons I really can't explain I want to be here for him.

I follow the smell into his study. He’s there, sitting in the dark, a glass of something strong clutched in his hand. His veins are taut, his jaw clenched. But it’s his eyes that stop me cold, they're no longer the rare silver-green I know, but a deep, glowing gold, burning with rage. I gasp. The sight se

    The bridesmaids gather, buzzing with anticipation as the bride turns her back. My heart pounds as the bouquet sails through the air and straight into my hands.Cheers erupt all around me, voices rising in excitement. I should be happy. I should be thrilled. I had dreamed of this moment, even willed it into existence. I wanted Rhett to see it, to see how determined I am, how much I want this future with him.But when I look at him, my chest tightens. He isn't smiling. There’s no joy, no spark in his eyes, all I see is that disturbing discomfort written across his face.He doesn’t like it. He doesn’t like people assuming we’ll get married.The cheers feel empty. The bouquet feels heavy in my hands. I thought this day, this glorious event would make me the happiest woman in the world, instead, it has brought my fears face to face with me.Rhett suddenly walks over and pulls me into his arms. Together we accept the praises, the congratulations, and of course Aunt Sarah’s relentless teasin

  • Fake Dating My Hockey Alpha    Chapter 34: Fears Slapping Me

    ~Lucy~The past few weeks have been nothing short of perfect, it's been filled with love, peace and joy. We go out on dates, take silly pictures, visit our favorite places and have sex whenever, wherever and however we want.I’ve never known happiness like this before. Rhett makes me feel seen, cherished, wanted. And yet… it still feels incomplete. Something is missing.What we have is beautiful, but it isn’t defined. I’ve carried this fear, that maybe Rhett doesn’t feel the same way, that maybe this is just passion to him, nothing more. But then, the way he holds me, the way his eyes soften when he looks at me, tells me otherwise. It tells me it’s only a matter of time before he says the words I’ve been aching to hear.But I can’t wait anymore. I need him to know. I need this to be more.That’s why I can’t wait for the next few hours to pass. I’ve never been this excited about someone’s wedding before.Because tonight, I’m going to use it as the moment. The moment where Rhett finally

    “This has to be the best game ever!” Freya screams, clapping wildly. Rhett’s team had just scored again, but with my thoughts tangled up in him, I barely noticed.Snapping back to the moment, I join Freya’s cheers, clapping along. The energy in the arena is electric. Before we can even settle into the thrill of one goal, Rhett’s team scores another and then another.The crowd erupts in a thunderous applause. Victory is theirs.Reporters and fans swarm the players, shouting questions, cameras flashing, but Rhett and his teammates rush off toward the locker room before they can be cornered.~Rhett~Hockey has never been my dream. Sure, I’m passionate about the sport and I enjoy playing it, and with my werewolf abilities, it’s always been easy to stand out, to earn the reputation I have today. But my real dream, the only dream that matters is to guide my pack, to become the Alpha I was born to be. That’s why I’m here.But then seeing Lucy cheer for me, pride blazing in her eyes, she's so

  • Fake Dating My Hockey Alpha    Chapter 32: My Bratty Little Tease

    ~Rhett~I miss Lucy like hell. The calls, the pictures, the teasing messages are just not enough. I crave her body pressed against mine, her sweet scent filling my lungs, the way she melts when I tease her… and the way I claim her until she forgets her own name.Tonight, I had it all planned out. I was going to surprise her. With my abilities, slipping between worlds and straight into her room would’ve been easy. After finishing up the youth clinic, I would be in her arms where I belong.But of course not, that plan crashed the moment they dragged me into another interview. I tried to excuse myself, I tried to leave, but no, apparently, I’m the face they can’t do without. So here I am, stuck, boiling in frustration while every damn second feels like an eternity.I was counting down the minutes to freedom when my phone buzzed. A notification from Lucy. A sharp breath escaped from my lungs when the video played. Thank fuck she muted it. She knew what she was doing. She always does.Her

  • Fake Dating My Hockey Alpha    Chapter 31: Touch me, Miss me

    ~Lucy~As you can imagine, my night was absolutely wonderful, and so is my morning. I wake up refreshed, ready to embrace whatever the days ahead might bring. I’m in love with Rhett Lawson. I shouldn’t be. This was supposed to be fake, just a few months of pretending. Yet only weeks in, I’ve fallen for him.He warned me it would happen. He said I’d fall for him, and I laughed it off, denied it. When Freya hinted at it, I shut her down, refusing to even entertain the thought. But now, I can’t lie to myself. The way Rhett treats me, the way his eyes linger on me, the way he protects me, it leaves no room for doubt.A part of me, a huge part, believes I’m not making a mistake. I feel it in my bones that this will turn out right that our paths were meant to cross, that we were meant to find each other. What started as fake dating feels real in every way. Everything about Rhett is genuine, and even if he doesn’t love me yet, I believe with every bit of me that he will.The doorbell rings,

  • Fake Dating My Hockey Alpha    Chapter 30: The Sweetest Evening

    ~Rhett~ “Rhett, you almost lost control earlier. What the fuck is wrong with you?” Khair’s growl rumbles through my head sharply, his voice is accusing but I don't care.“That was risky Rhett,” he repeats, but I don’t answer him. For the first time, I don’t even know what to say to my wolf.Because he’s right. I did almost lose control. I don’t know what came over me, but seeing Lucy scared, seeing those damn paparazzi getting too close to her, it lit something inside me I couldn’t leash.You might think it’s no big deal, using my Alpha aura to put them in their place. But it is a very big deal. Every time I let that power slip in the human world, I risk exposing my secret. There are werewolves hiding in plain sight, living disguised among humans. If one of them had been there tonight… they would have recognized me instantly.And not every Alpha can command humans. Only those born from certain clans. Only those special.
