All Chapters of FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

LyraMy head was spinning so hard it felt like the room had tilted beneath me. Memories, or maybe dreams, wolves clawed through my mind, flashing so fast I couldn’t catch them. Growls. Red eyes. My heart pounding in terror. My body swayed, and before I could steady myself, darkness swallowed me whole.When I opened my eyes again, pain lanced through my skull like knives. I groaned, pressing my palm against my temple.“Lyra…” Mirae’s voice came first, soft and shaky. She was sitting at the edge of the bed, her face pale with worry. Her eyes flickered over me like she was afraid I’d break apart again. “You scared me. I was so nervous when you fainted.”“I’m good now,” I murmured, forcing a small smile. My voice was rough, my throat dry. I shifted slightly, and then froze.Because he was there.Jay.Standing near the door, hands shoved in his pockets, his expression unreadable. His eyes flickered toward me once, then away, like he was pretending not to care.My chest tightened. “What is

Lyra“First day? Babe?”The words slipped out of me in a whisper, but he heard them.“Yes,” Nick said without hesitation, his voice calm, almost smug. “Our first day as a couple, darling…if that's what you prefer.” He said, biting his lower lips, his gaze fixed on my lips.The certainty in his tone made my skin flush with heat. My chest tightened, my breath catching as shame swept over me in waves. Couple? What the hell had I just done? My lips parted, but no sound came. My body remembered everything, every forbidden moment I had let happen.Oh God.I had given in to him. Not once, but twice.I felt my insides coil with panic and disbelief. This wasn’t me. This wasn’t who I was. I had surrendered to him, after finding out he wasn’t even human.I scrambled for my clothes, desperate to cover myself, to hide the evidence of what had just happened. My hands fumbled, shaking as I pulled at the fabric. My throat was so tight I could barely breathe.But before I could get my shirt over my h

Lyra“What are you trying to do?” My voice shook, my throat tight, tears streaming down my cheeks. I couldn’t stop trembling. My back was still pressed against the tree where he had cornered me. My chest rose and fell in frantic bursts, as if my lungs were rejecting the air around him.Nick froze, his raised clawed hand trembling in the air. His jaw tightened. His glowing eyes dimmed as though something inside him snapped back to reality. For a moment, he looked at his own hand like it belonged to someone else, like he was horrified by it.“You said you’d never hurt me,” I choked out, my voice breaking. “What about now? Did you forget so soon?” My words came out sharper than I intended, but I couldn’t stop them.His face twisted in pain, self-loathing flashing across his features. His claws retracted instantly, his hands curling into fists at his sides. He ripped his gaze away from me, his chest heaving, shame written all over him.“Lyra…” His voice cracked. He finally looked at me ag

LyraWhat’s going to happen now?My chest heaved as the officers dragged me forward, their grip rough against my arms. I twisted once, twice, but the cold bite of the cuffs kept me pinned. My eyes darted toward Rixa, my voice sharp with disbelief.“Rixa… where’d you get that necklace?”Her lips curved into a mocking smirk, her chin tilting up with superiority. The chain glinted against her collarbone.“I got it as a gift,” she said, her tone dripping with arrogance. “And it’s none of your business. Something you could never afford.” Her arms folded tighter against her chest, her smugness cutting into me deeper than the cuffs around my wrists.My stomach twisted. Her words stung, but it wasn’t her insult that gutted me, it was that necklace. That same cursed necklace Mirae had worn. The one from my vision.The officers shoved me harder toward the waiting van. Phones were out everywhere, faces glowing with excitement. Students and strangers lifted their devices high, recording the chaos

LyraNick didn’t even hear me. Or maybe he did and just chose not to.His grip on Rixa’s neck tightened, his knuckles paling as his fingers dug into her throat. She choked, clawing at his arm with her long manicured nails, her heels scraping frantically against the floor. Her face twisted with shock and panic, lips parted in a silent plea for air.The men around us stumbled back, fear flashing across their faces. Their eyes widened, their bravado shattering like glass.“He’s not human!” one of them shouted hoarsely before collapsing to the floor as if the very air had been ripped from his lungs. His body convulsed once, then stilled. The other man followed, falling with the same sickening thud, his eyes wide in frozen terror.Nick’s eyes weren’t normal anymore. They gleamed, predatory, inhuman, like a beast barely restrained inside him. Shadows rippled across his features, turning him into something terrifying and unrecognizable.“Nick… please.” My voice cracked. I begged him, tears s
