Aya's POV

“I’m still talking to her, you know.” Eros frowned. Looking at Johanis as if the man had offended him. But said man doesn't pay him any attention as he grabbed my wrist and whisked me away. He was about to wolf out but Eros stopped him. “Trying to escape?”

“She needs to rest. Talk to her tomorrow after classes.” Johanis hid me behind him.

“I’m going back to Bloodbury now. I still have lots of things to deal with once I come back home.” Eros facepalmed but then Joha just shrugged. “Th

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    71 - Bound To Break

    Aya's POVThe footsteps outside grew louder. Faster. Closer..My heart leaped into my throat.My mate.. He was coming.I could feel it through the bond—wild, sharp, almost violent in the way it surged through me. It wasn’t just awareness anymore.It was urgency.Rage.Fear.For me.The Blackmoor captain tilted his head slightly, as if listening to it too. That same calm expression remained on his face..Like this was all expected.Like everything was going exactly the way he wanted.“Perfect timing,” he murmured.“Stay back,” I snapped, pulling Lily closer to me. She was still weak, her weight leaning slightly against my side.“Aya… what’s going on?” she whispered.“I don’t know,” I admitted.But that wasn’t entirely true. Because deep down—I did. This was a trap. And we walked right into it.The footsteps stopped right outside the door.For one split second, everything went still. And then…BANG.The door slammed open so hard it hit the wall with a deafening crack.Johanis stood the

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    70 - Never About..

    Aya’s POVThe game started like a storm. It was really fast and relentless. Both sides were unforgiving to one another..From the moment the puck dropped, the energy in the arena exploded. The clash between Woodhill University and Blackmoor wasn’t just a match—it felt like a collision.Two forces.Two intentions.Two teams that refused to back down.I sat beside Lily, my hands clasped tightly together, eyes locked onto the ice. Johanis moved like he always did. But this time.. his movements seem much more precise ad controlled, but still so damn deadly.Every movement calculated, every pass sharp, every shift purposeful. Ryan and Finn kept up the pressure, pushing forward again and again, while Leon and Brooks held the defensive line like a wall.And for a moment—Everything felt normal. The crowd roared. The ice rang with the sound of skates and sticks. The scoreboard shifted.1–0. Woodhill.Cheers erupted around us. Lily grabbed my arm. “They’re doing so good!”I nodded, a small smi

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    69 - The Calm Before The Finals

    Aya's POVSilence.A dangerous kind of silence.“They’re still here,” I continued. “They haven’t left. Well, I think they left by now though..”Behind him, I could feel the shift. Ryan, Finn and the others. They were all listening and watching.“And their captain—” I hesitated. Johanis’ eyes darkened slightly. “What the fuck did he do?”I shook my head quickly. “He didn’t—he just—”Why was this so hard to explain?“He said…” I exhaled shakily. “He said I should leave before they come back.”The air stilled completely.“And?” Johanis pressed. I hesitated again, then forced the words out. “He said something bad might happen.”The silence was so oppressive and heavy. Ryan swore under his breath. Finn’s expression hardened. “What the hell does that mean?” he muttered. Johanis didn’t say anything. But I felt it. That shift again. Not like last night.Not explosive.But colder. More controlled..Which somehow felt worse.His thumb brushed lightly against my arm. “You’re not leaving my side

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    68 - A Warning..

    Aya's POVWe should be okay, right?We each have the unlinking stone. And I am literally on my way there.We are just minutes behind each other…Right?My fingers tightened slightly around the strap of my bag as I walked faster down the hallway, my steps echoing faintly against the polished floor.Everything felt… off.Not wrong in a way I could explain. Just—This feeling that I cannot quite explain. It's heavy and suffocating..Like something was waiting.I exhaled slowly, trying to calm myself. ‘You’re overthinking,’ I told myself.It had just been a weird morning. That’s all. The tension from last night hadn’t completely faded yet, and Johanis being so strangely insistent earlier—That must’ve been what was getting to me. Nothing more.I turned the corner. And stopped. Because I wasn’t alone.Black uniforms.Dark.Unmistakable.Blackmoor.They were standing near the exit corridor, bags slung over their shoulders, a few of them talking casually like they didn’t just radiate the ki

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    67 - Unease

    Aya’s POVThe arena was still roaring.Woodhill players were celebrating on the ice. The stands shook with cheers, stomping feet, and the echo of thousands of voices shouting at once.But somehow—None of that mattered anymore.. All I could hear was him.Johanis.Or more specifically—What I felt from him.The moment the captain of Blackmoor started clapping and mocking Tavian, something inside the bond shifted. Not anger.Not exactly.Something far more sharper. Something that made my chest tighten painfully. Before I even realized what I was doing, I was already standing.“Aya?” Lily called behind me. But I was already moving. Then running.Fast.Down the steps of the stands, past rows of startled students still celebrating Woodhill’s victory. My heart pounded against my ribs as the bond tugged harder.I didn’t know why.I just knew I had to get there.Now.The closer I got to the rink entrance, the louder the voices became.Blackmoor.Their laughter was cold. Sharp and mocking. “…l

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    66 - Sudden Death

    Aya's POVThe word overtime echoed in my head like a warning bell. Three full periods of relentless hockey had pushed both teams to their limits.And now—They had to keep going.Beside me, Lily leaned forward, staring at the scoreboard as if it had personally betrayed her.“Overtime,” she muttered weakly.“Yeah,” I said.“Sudden death overtime.”“Yes..”She slowly turned toward me. “I’m going to pass out.”“Please don't..”“I will...”“You say that every five minutes.”“That’s because my heart keeps trying to leave my body.”Honestly, mine felt the same.The arena buzzed with nervous energy. Thousands of people talking at once, the sound rising and falling like waves crashing against the walls. Because everyone knew what overtime meant.One goal.Just one.And the game would be over.Winner moves to the finals.Loser goes home.I swallowed hard and looked down at the ice again.Woodhill gathered around their bench while the coach spoke quickly, gesturing across the rink. Ryan leaned

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    23 - Crumpled Up

    Aya’s POVWe were all excited and pumped to leave. I mean, who wouldn't be? After everything that happened today.. The stimulating place, overwhelming meeting with the elders, and with what happened to Lily.And yet the girl still has so much energy to spare. I am so amazed with her to the point th

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    22 - Worries We Share

    Aya's POV Lily pushed herself up fully, leaning back against the wall with one hand pressed to her shoulder, and fixed her brother with a glare that could rival any elder’s. “Stop embarrassing me! In front of everyone, really?”Johanis’s rigid posture softened immediately, though his jaw was still

    Aya’s POV You know it's quite serious when Lily and Johanis said that the Elders nitpick almost about everything.. and yet right now, they aren't even looking at our clothes but instead at our faces and how many we are right now. “Are you hiding those Bloodbury brats?” That same elder asked again

    Aya’s POVI couldn't even begin to read his expression. The moonlight cast half his face in silver, the other in deep shadow – hiding whatever thoughts were playing across his features as my question hung in the air between us. For a heartbeat, his lips parted as if he was about to speak, and I lea
