Aya’s POV

“I cannot stand this. Is Ayreil blackmailing you or something?”

The words cut sharper than I expected. They weren’t even loud. Just… careless. Tossed into the air like gossip always is—casual, cruel, and confident that it wouldn’t reach the wrong ears.

Mine.

The girl who said it—third row from the back, blonde braid, their pack house crest stitched too neatly onto her sleeve—folded her arms as if she were stating an obvious truth. As if I wasn’t standing right there. As if I wasn’t so

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    98 - The Bond It Feared

    Aya's POVSora’s roar did not sound human. It sounded like something came from underground and just been hauled back to the land of the living. It was loud enough that the entire palace trembled beneath it.The second my mother’s body hit the floor, something inside the mate bond snapped completely. Panic exploded through Johanis so violently that it drowned out everything else. Rage followed right after it.Not directed at me.Not even at the ritual.At the corruption..At the thing destroying everything it touched.The chamber erupted into chaos instantly.“Your Majesty!”Fairy guards rushed toward my mother while silver lights flickered wildly across the cracked walls. The glowing symbols beneath me continued malfunctioning, sparks of ancient magic snapping through the air like lightning.My breathing came out broken. Pire agony still burned beneath my skin. The corruption had not stopped moving after the ritual collapse. Instead, it felt even more violently angry now, like the fai

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    97 - A Catastrophe

    Aya's POVThe growl did not stop. If anything, it became worse. It became more dangerous. The kind of sound that made instinct scream run even if there was nowhere to run to.Sora stood between me and everyone else now, massive body rigid while his pheromones visibly curled violently around his paws. His golden eyes were locked onto the black veins spreading beneath my skin.Or maybe—Locked onto the corruption itself. Because every time the darkness beneath my skin moved, his lips peeled farther back from his teeth.Murderous.That was the only word for it.The entire chamber had gone deathly still around him. Fairy guards stood frozen near the glowing walls, clearly debating whether they should interfere or pray the wolf ignored them. Smart choice honestly.. Because Sora looked one second away from tearing apart anything that moved.“A wolf cannot interfere with ancient fairy extraction magic,” Mom warned carefully, though I could hear tension beneath her calm tone. “If he loses con

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    96 - Resurfaced Pain

    Aya's POVPain hit my chest so hard I thought it would cave in. Then Eros flashed through my mind again so I had to pretend and force myself to stay awake. But my body betrayed me even before my mind could say no. My fingers tightened around my mother instantly. “M-mom…”She immediately pulled back enough to look at me. Concern flooded her expression instantly. “What is it?”I couldn’t breathe properly. The words came out fractured. I have to at least say his name..“Eros.”She stilled.“A friend swapped his life for me,” I whispered. “He’s stuck in the forest…”Shock crossed her face instantly. Real shock.“What did you say?”“E-eros,” I repeated desperately. “Mom save him please..”Her expression changed. It was not only fear. But more than that.. it was as if she recognized him even though it was only a name..My stomach dropped instantly.. So, she knows him. The realization hit like lightning.Mom gulped visibly before trying to steady herself.“He’ll be fine,” she said carefully.

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    95 - Finally In Your Arms

    Aya's POVWarmth.That was the first thing I felt.Not the violent heat of corruption burning through my veins. Not the suffocating pull of the forest trying to slowly drag me back underground.Just… warmth.Heavy. Protective. Wrapped so tightly around me that for a few blissfully disoriented seconds, I forgot everything. Then my body shifted slightly. Pain immediately followed.A sharp breath escaped me as consciousness crashed fully back in. My stomach twisted violently while exhaustion dragged at every inch of me. Something beneath me moved at the same time.It was of course.. my mate. His wolf form so broad and strong that I feel comfort and just want to stay here forever.I blinked slowly.nDark trees blurred past my vision. Wind brushed against my face in cold uneven bursts while shadows moved rapidly beneath us.Johanis.. I was on his back.Blue and gold energy flickered faintly around us both, weaving through the air like threads of light. In my sleepy state, I thought of it as

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    94 - The One Remaining

    Aya's POV“No.”The word tore out of me instantly. Raw. Broken. Violent enough that my throat burned around it.But it wasn't me who spoke that.. it was the forest..The clearing had become absolute chaos. Wind screamed through the shattered trees while corruption slammed against it from every direction like something alive and furious. Shadows twisted across the forest floor, writhing between roots and broken branches. The entire forest was shaking now.Not angry anymore.Panicking.Because I was slipping away from it.. And apparently, it would rather destroy everything than let me go.“NOW!” Eros shouted.Silver wind exploded outward from him again, forming a violent barrier between us and the corruption surging forward. Blood hit the ground beneath him immediately after.Too much blood.Way too much fucking blood.Johanis moved before I could even process it. One second he was beside me.The next—A massive white-silver wolf tore through the clearing with enough force to crack the

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    93 - Eye Of The Storm

    Johanis' POVThe entire north felt wrong. Not quiet. Not calm..Wrong.The moment we crossed the border back into Bloodbury territory, the bond in my chest twisted so violently I nearly lost control of the damn motorcycle.Pain.Not mine.. not Sora's..Aya’s pain.Raw. Sharp. Burning through the mate bond in uneven waves that made my wolf slam against my ribs like a mad beast.Sora was losing his fucking mind.‘Mine.”The growl rattled through my skull hard enough to blur my vision for half a second.“I KNOW,” I snarled back.Ahead of me, Alaric moved through the forest at terrifying speed, the shadows around him bending unnaturally as he tore through the trees. Even from here, I could feel his rage.Not the loud kind, but the dangerous kind.. it was the kind that promised death.We had been moving nonstop since leaving the Frost Court of the North. No breaks. No slowing down. The queen’s words still echoed inside my head like a curse.“They wanted my power. My blood… I realized they

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    42 - Smoke without Fire

    Aya's POV The principal arrives like a storm that doesn’t bother knocking. The clinic door opens with a sharp crack, and the air seems to change immediately—thicker, heavier, like every molecule is bracing itself. Principal Reed steps inside with his hands clasped behind his back, posture rigid, e
