Aya's POV

The 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 hear

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    113 - What We Have Left

    Aya's POVI should've known something was up when Mom invited us to dinner.Not because dinner itself was unusual but it was the way she'd said it. "Come to dinner tonight. All of you."All of you.That included me, Johanis, Dad—and Eros, although Eros was currently asleep in the healing chamber and probably wouldn't wake up even if someone decided to start a cat fight outside his room.So naturally, I spent the entire walk to the dining hall wondering what the hell Mom wanted."You've been quiet," Johanis murmured beside me. I looked at him. "I'm thinking because mom's a lil bit weird.."He hummed and agreed with me. “Well stop with the frowning or else I'll kiss you here.”I hated how easily he could make me want to smile when I was trying to be annoyed. I chuckled with him and lightly bumped my shoulder against his arm. "You're getting brave."The doors to the dining hall opened before we reached them, and the warmth inside immediately washed over us. Mom and Dad were already there

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    112 - Together, Whole

    Aya's POVHome.I didn't realize how much I had missed that word until the portal opened. After everything that happened in Bloodbury, I honestly thought the journey back to Cladbridge would feel longer.Thank the Moon Goddess, it didn't.Maybe because Eros was with us, tehee. Or maybe because every few minutes, I still found myself looking over my shoulder just to make sure he was actually there.We were finally going home. All of us, safe and sound.The portal shimmered in front of us, silver and gold magic twisting together until the familiar crystal city appeared on the other side.Cladbridge, the fairy realm.I almost cried again. I was getting really tired of crying.."Don't," Johanis murmured beside me. I turned my head towards him. "Don't what?"His golden eyes flicked toward my face. He looked at me with so much adoration. “Don't cry, my love. Or at least, not now. We can cuddle later and I'll soothe you, okay?”I gulped and blushed and just simply nodded. He smiled and gave

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    111 - The Heir Comes Home?

    Aya's POV"I am!" I grunted but my mate just calmly replied, "Not like that."He pointed at Eros. "His body was connected to the forest for days. His life force is still trying to return to it." Then he added, "Don't think about controlling the forest, my love. Don't force it."I swallowed hard. Behind us, the battle erupted again. Mom's golden magic tore through the darkness, illuminating the entire clearing. Dad's pheromones crashed against the Ancient Hunter with enough force to make the earth tremble. Johanis should have been fighting beside them.Instead, he was kneeling beside me. All because Eros wasn't breathing.Because I couldn't make him breathe."I don't know what to do.""Yes, you do.""I don't!" My voice broke. "I don't know how to do this, Joha!”"Aya." His voice was so soft that it felt as if he was afraid to break a fragile thing.Then I understood. He wasn't asking me to heal Eros. He was asking me to call him back. So I did, or at least I tried to. "Eros.."I placed

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    110 - Final Root

    Aya's POVFor a few seconds, nobody actually moved. Not Mom.Not Dad.Not Johanis.Not even the Ancient Fairy Hunter itself..The forest seemed to hold its breath with us. Then the Hunter's crimson eyes narrowed. "This is getting actually old."Mom's wings spread wider. Dad's claws flexed. And somehow, despite the fact that I was exhausted, injured, and currently standing beside an unconscious-looking cousin whose heartbeat was literally connected to the forest—I felt a tiny, stupid smile tug at my lips.Because Mom and Dad had arrived.And for the first time since entering Bloodbury, I didn't feel like we were fighting something impossible by ourselves.Mom's gaze never left the Hunter. "You've been chasing my bloodline for centuries. So yeah, as you say, this is honestly getting a bit too old, y'know?"Her voice was quiet. Way too quiet.. Like someone who is simply mad. Actually no, mad is too light of a word to describe my mother's aura. She is absolutely livid."And you still ha

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    109 - Bloodline of Light

    Aya's POVSo this is why the forest was hesitant to show us the way a while ago. They were protecting him from the Ancient Fairy Hunter.It was probably Eros who convinced them to let us pass. He must have sensed us the moment we entered Bloodbury. The forest listened to him... just enough to open a path.But then why? Why were they draining his powers? Why were they replacing his heartbeat with theirs?Why were they making it impossible for him to survive outside the forest?My thoughts spiraled until the Ancient Fairy Hunter laughed. It was a sound so deep and creepily ancient that the air itself seemed to rot around it."You worms have helped me greatly." The crimson eyes burned brighter. "This cursed forest refused to reveal my vessel. Though I corrupted much of it... the remaining heart still clung to its loyalty."Its enormous hand gestured lazily toward Eros. "So they imprisoned him themselves."My breathing stopped. The forest… It hadn't been imprisoning him. It had been hidin

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    108 - The Forest Guardian

    Aya's POV"Eros!"I didn't wait.The moment his voice reached me again, my legs moved before my brain could even catch up. Branches whipped across my face as Johanis and I sprinted through this damned Bloodbury Forest, the trees blurring together around us."...Aya..."The voice came again. Weak. So fuckin weak but at the very least, I know it was real."He’s this way!" I shouted. Johanis stayed close beside me, one hand never more than a few inches away as if prepared to catch me if I stumbled."I'm with you."Sora remained surfaced beneath our bond. 'Almost close..’His certainty steadied my pounding heart. So, we ran over twisted roots. Around enormous ancient trees that I swore weren't here when I was the one trapped. And go over across streams that glowed faintly.The deeper we traveled, the stranger the forest became. Nothing looked natural anymore.. Entire cliffs floated upside down. Roots grew into the sky. Rivers flowed sideways.It was as though reality itself had forgotten

  • Saved, Then Rejected by my Ice Hockey Mate    40 - The Stone

    Aya's POV I want to cover for my mate.I want to say something—anything—that will redirect Elder Odin’s attention away from Johanis, away from the impossible blue fire, away from the truth sitting in my chest like a live wire.But I don’t know what on earth my response is supposed to be. So I just

Then suddenly— I could no longer hear murmurs nor whispers. It was..
