All Chapters of FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA : Chapter 111 - Chapter 116

Nick“Lyra, please—no. Don’t do this to me.”The words rushed out of my mouth raw and unplanned, like I was afraid silence would seal her decision if I paused even for a second. She stood a few steps away from me, her resignation letter still between us like a thin white blade. Her shoulders were stiff, her chin lifted in that stubborn way I remembered too well. The way she looked when she had already decided something and nothing in the world could bend her back.“You just came back into my life,” I went on, my voice lowering, rougher. “You don’t get to walk out again. I can’t let you leave me."Her lips parted slightly, then pressed together. She let out a breath that sounded tired.“Nick,” she said quietly, rubbing her forehead with her fingers as if she had a headache that never went away. “I really can’t do this. Seriously, I can’t.”She finally looked at me then, and the look in her eyes almost undid me. It wasn’t anger. It wasn’t hatred. It was exhaustion. The kind that comes f

NickBen’s voice reached me before I even saw him.“Alpha… what exactly are you planning to do with her now that she’s here?”I was seated by the window, one leg crossed over the other, a glass of wine balanced loosely in my fingers. The city lights outside glowed softly, indifferent to everything happening inside these walls. I took a slow sip, letting the taste settle, letting the moment breathe.A smile curved on my lips before I answered.“What do you think I’m going to do with her?”I finally looked up.Ben stood a few steps inside the room, arms folded tightly across his chest. His jaw was tense, his eyes cautious, like he was standing in front of a bomb that could go off any second.“I don’t know, Alpha,” he said carefully. “But this… this isn’t right. This is kidnapping.”I chuckled under my breath, amused more than offended.“Kidnapping,” I repeated lazily, swirling the wine. “You make it sound so ugly.”“It is ugly,” Ben insisted. “What if she—”“Ben,” I cut in sharply, sett

Lyra“Caught you! Now you can’t run away from me.”Nick’s voice sliced through the air behind me. The moment I heard it, my entire body locked up like someone had pressed pause on me. My leg literally froze mid-step. I couldn’t move, not even an inch.Panic exploded through my chest.Shit. What am I going to do? What am I going to do?!I needed to leave immediately. I forced my leg forward, one shaky step, trying to keep going, pretending I didn’t hear him.“STOP RIGHT THERE!”His voice thundered again, louder this time, sharp enough that people in the hospital corridor jerked around to look at him.Then he added, loud enough to echo off the walls:“If you move an inch, I’m going to kiss you!”My head snapped around so fast I could’ve sworn something cracked in my neck.Every single person around us went silent.And I, like an idiot, just turned.I don’t even know why. Reflex? Madness? Curiosity? Stupidity?Probably all of the above.“Oh my God,” I whispered under my breath. “This gu
