All Chapters of FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

NickI couldn’t sit down, no matter how many times they asked, no matter how calm they tried to sound, my body refused to cooperate. I paced the room like a restless animal, my steps uneven, my hands running through my hair over and over again.“Alpha, please…” one of the workers tried gently. “We need you seated.”I ignored him, my heart was beating too fast, too loud, like it was trying to escape my chest. My palms were damp. My thoughts were everywhere, colliding, overlapping, refusing to slow down.I’m getting married.The realization hit me again, sharp and unreal.I’m marrying Lyra, the woman I never thought I’d have. The woman I’d chased, lost, hurt, nearly destroyed, and somehow still loved me enough to stand at the edge of this madness.It felt impossible, like a dream my mind had created just to torture me.Is this real?Am I actually doing this?I laughed under my breath, shaking my head.“Oh no,” I muttered. “This has to be a dream.”“Alpha.”Ben’s voice cut through my tho

NickWhat do I do?? Shit! This is bad!Ben and the elder were just staring at me once again..“Alpha…what are you thinking? Just say yes and let's move on…please…the plane will soon be landing.” Ben pleaaded…but I knew this was my decision to make…The ball was in my court.Do I say yes or no??“No. I don’t.” The words escaped my mouth before I could soften them, before I could protect anyone’s feelingsHer face…Lyra’s face..twisted instantly. The softness vanished, replaced by something sharp, something ugly. Her eyes darkened, blazing with rage, anger rushed through her expression so fast it startled me.“What?” she hissed, then she snapped.“How dare you reject me?” she screamed. “I said I’m Lyra!”That was it, that single sentence, the voice cracked, enough for me to hear it and my instincts finally clicked into place, my breath hitched.That voice…It wasn’t Lyra’s anymore, It was Rixa’s, the realization struck me like a blow to the chest.So this was it, she had mimicked Lyra, her

Nick“Where the heck is Rixa?” My voice cracked as I shouted it again, my chest heaving like I’d just run miles. The entire plane shook slightly beneath my feet as the pilot’s voice came through the speakers.“We’re landing now.” The words barely registered.The moment the wheels touched the ground, I felt the heavy pull of gravity, the violent finality of it. The plane slowed, but my heart didn’t. It slammed against my ribs like it wanted out.Where is Rixa? I turned sharply, scanning every face, every corner, every shadow. My fingers curled into fists so tight my knuckles burned.“She was here,” I muttered. “Alpha,” Ben said quickly, stepping closer, his voice calm but strained. “Please…please calm down.”I whipped around to face him, fury blazing in my eyes. “Calm down?” I snapped. “You want me to calm down?”He raised his hands slowly, trying to ground me. “Some of our men already jumped down with parachutes,” he explained carefully. “They’ll find her. I promise you.”“What if the

NickBen dropped to his knees immediately, the sound echoed in the room, fear carved itself across his face, draining it of color. His hands pressed flat against the floor, his shoulders shaking as he bowed so low his forehead nearly touched the ground. The sword was still at his neck. I hadn’t moved it yet “I’m sorry, Alpha,” Ben said, his voice trembling. “Please forgive me. Please… show mercy.”I stared down at him, my grip tight, my arm steady. The blade rested against his skin like a promise waiting to be fulfilled. I watched every twitch of his jaw, every swallow, every breath he struggled to control, one wrong word…..just one.“I’m sure she isn’t dead yet,” Ben rushed out, desperation thick in his voice. “I’ll call a doctor. I swear. I’ll get the best one.”Something inside me shifted, just slightly and I exhaled slowly, the sword slipped from my hand and hit the floor with a sharp clatter, the sound slicing through the tension. Ben flinched as if he’d been struck, gasping li

Nick“Alpha… be careful so you don’t fall..” Ben’s voice came from behind me, strained and breathless, but I didn’t slow down. I didn’t even hear the rest of what he said. At that moment, the floor could crack open beneath my feet and I still wouldn’t care.My hand slammed against the door, pushing it open so hard it hit the wall with a dull thud, I rushed in, she was still lying on the bed.For half a second, my heart dropped again, hard and violent, like it had been doing for days. Her body was still, her face pale against the white sheets, lashes resting quietly against her cheeks.Then…her fingers moved as Ben had said, I had seen it now with my own eyes, I froze.My breath caught painfully in my throat, like my lungs forgot how to work. My eyes stayed glued to her hand, afraid that if I blinked, it would stop again and I’d lose my mind completely.“She moved,” I whispered, my voice cracking without permission.I started pacing, my steps uneven, my hands running through my hair o
