บททั้งหมดของ FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA : บทที่ 151 - บทที่ 160

Lyra“Are you sure about what you’re saying?” I asked quietly, my eyes locked on Rixa’s pale face. “Are you sure you’re willing to do anything to get Damian? Because you’re known for being dramatic, and I need to be certain this isn’t some twisted part of his plan.”The room was silent except for the faint beeping of the medical machine beside her bed.Rixa swallowed. Her lips trembled. Her fingers twitched weakly against the sheets.“Yes,” she whispered. “I’m willing to do anything. I don’t have a choice anymore. If I want to get well… if I want to live… I have to help you.”Her voice sounded hollow. Like something inside her had already broken. For a long moment, I just stared at her. And for the first time since I walked into that room, I believed her.The doctor stepped forward gently. “She needs to rest now.”Nick nodded immediately. “We understand.”I hesitated, still watching Rixa’s face. She looked exhausted, like fear had drained every ounce of strength from her body.“We’ll

Lyra“Nick… what the heck are you doing? This is insane!” My voice cracked, more from disbelief than fear, and I yanked my hands from his grasp. My heart hammered so hard I was sure he could hear it.He didn’t even flinch. His gaze pinned me, his jaw tight, lips curved in that maddening way that made my knees weaken.“I’m not insane,” he said, calm, but the intensity in his eyes made my stomach flip. “We need this. I need this. I need you.”He stepped closer. The smell of his cologne hit me, and my body betrayed me, leaning even an inch toward him.“Why don’t we just have another baby… right here, right now?” His voice dropped, dark and teasing, and his eyes narrowed to my chest.I recoiled, pushing against his chest. “Nick! Stop!” My hands trembled as they slid across his chest, trying to keep some distance. But he was faster, stronger. He looped his arms around my waist, pulling me back to him, the heat from his body pressing into mine.What is wrong with him? I thought, my pulse r

Nick“What?? The palace has been invaded by Damian?? What??”The words exploded in my ear, loud and distorted through the crackling line. Then the voice repeated it, sharper this time, more urgent.My heart slammed into my ribs. I shot to my feet so fast the chair scraped loudly against the deck. “What’s happening now?”Across from me, Lyra’s laughter faded. Her smile slipped as she saw my face. Her brows pulled together, eyes scanning me like she was trying to read something written on my skin.“Nick?” she said slowly. “Damian?”I turned away, pacing, the phone pressed hard to my ear. The sea breeze whipped against my wet hair, cold against my skin.“Say that again,” I snapped. “What do you mean invaded? How did he even get inside the palace?”But now it was static followed by, burst of voices. Then shouting in the background.“Hello?” I said, stopping near the rail. “Can you hear me?”The line went silent. I pulled the phone away, stared at the screen like it might magically explain

LyraMy heart twisted. “You can’t be serious right now,” I said, stepping in front of him. “You seriously cannot do that.”He lifted his eyes to me, those stubborn, reckless, determined eyes.“This is dangerous,” I continued. “I know we need to get Rixa back. I know she’s the key to bringing Damian down. But look at you, your chest, your strength, you can barely stand.”“I’m fine,” he said.He was lying. His lips were pale. His breathing was shallow. One hand kept drifting back to his chest like his body was begging him to slow down.“You’re not fine,” I snapped. “You’re not okay. You’re not well. And you think I’m just going to stand here and let you go get yourself killed?”Nick stared at me. His gaze softened for half a second. Then the Alpha came back.“I have to do this.”“No,” I said immediately. “You don’t.”“Yes, I do.”I shook my head. “No. You don’t.”He exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair. “Lyra, listen to me.”“No. You listen to me,” I said, stepping closer. “

LyraNick moved in a flash, one second his mother was on her knees, her hands clutching mine, her tears soaking into the stone floor, and the next, Nick had her by the arm, hauling her up with a strength that looked like it came straight from rage instead of his failing body.“Mom, stop this,” he shouted. The sudden force made her stumble. I reached out instinctively, but Nick was already in front of me, shielding me with his body like muscle memory had taken over.“Stop all this nonsense,” he went on, his voice sharp, shaking the walls. “Everything you’re saying is shit. Absolute crap.”“There is no way I’m leaving her,” he continued, chest heaving. “None. What you’re saying isn’t real, and I don’t believe in this bullshit.”His words echoed long after he stopped speaking. His mother stared at him, stunned for a second, then she laughed, full of exhaustion.“You don’t believe it?” she snapped, shaking her head. “That’s exactly why you’re in this mess.”She yanked her arm free and ste
