All Chapters of FIRST NIGHT WITH THE HOCKEY ALPHA : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

LyraI didn’t even realize when the tears began spilling down my face. They came hot, streaming uncontrollably, stinging as if my skin itself rejected the betrayal. I had come here to surrender, to accept him, even after knowing the truth of what he was, after knowing what danger his existence carried. I had told myself love was enough, that I could take the risk, that maybe being with him was worth burning for.But this… this was what I walked into.My knees buckled, trembling so hard I almost collapsed on the spot. My vision swam in watery blurs as I staggered back, trying to find the doorway, trying to escape the suffocating image etched into my mind.Nick.Nick with another woman.But before I could make it out, his hand clamped tightly around my wrist.“Let go of me!” I screamed, my voice cracking under the weight of my pain. My free hand flew up and beat against his chest, fists weak and desperate. The thud against his muscles only made me feel smaller, more powerless.“Lyra, it

Lyra“Are you there?” The officer’s voice rang out from the other end of the phone, sharp and official.My throat closed. No. This can’t be happening. My stomach twisted violently. My Nick… what if he was in danger because of this? I couldn’t let that happen.“I—” my voice cracked, but before I could speak again, the officer continued, his tone heavy with suspicion.“We would need to recheck the clothes you gave us that day. Please return them so we can analyze again… or do you know who owned those clothes?”The world stopped spinning for a moment. My lungs froze, but then, relief. They didn’t know. They weren’t sure. I exhaled shakily, my shoulders sagging as the tension bled out of me.Before I could answer, Mirae snatched the phone on the floor, her eyes wide, her jaw tight. “We just found that coat on the floor,” she said smoothly, though her tone shook with impatience. “And we’ve thrown it away. We don’t have it anymore.”She didn’t wait for their response. Her thumb hit the scre

Nick“What? Love?” Damian spat, his voice sharp, mocking, cutting through the air like glass. His lips curled in disdain as he took a step closer. “Do you even know what love is? Huh?” His tone dripped with venom, eyes narrowing like daggers aimed straight at me.Rage swelled inside me, burning through my chest. My hands clenched into fists so tight my claws almost pierced my own palms. Love? He had no right to even utter that word. This man, this monster, didn’t know the first thing about it.He abandoned us, he abandoned me. He abused my mother until she broke, until she had no choice but to run. And yet she still carried me inside her, the child of that same monster who now stood before me, mocking everything I had ever protected.I could still hear her voice when she told me the truth. The way her eyes welled up when she admitted how he used to hurt her, how she endured his cruelty until she couldn’t anymore. And this… this was the man who had cursed me. My curse wasn’t some rand

LyraI danced into the shared room, unable to stop the grin stretched across my face. My cheeks hurt from smiling, but I didn’t care. The air felt different around me, light, electric.Mirae froze mid-motion, the knife still in her hand, the fruit she was cutting forgotten. Her brows shot up in shock.“Did something good happen?” she asked, her tone cautious but curious. She held a slice of mango, juice dripping onto her fingers, staring at me like I had completely lost it.I rushed over to her and hugged her tightly, laughter spilling out of me. “Yes, Mirae! Something more than good. Thank you for calling Nick! You’re seriously the best.”Her body stiffened in my arms. “What’s gotten into you? You’re making me uncomfortable.” She tried to squirm away, but I held on for a second longer before letting go.I bit my lip, my heart fluttering all over again. I couldn’t tell her everything, the truth about Jay, about how it wasn’t him all this while. She’d never believe me. Still, I couldn

Alpha DamianThe pain in my chest was unbearable, a sharp burn that wouldn’t let go. My hand pressed hard against it as if sheer force could keep my heart from tearing apart. Every breath came ragged, shallow, making the air in the dim room feel too heavy. My vision blurred, rage and agony blinding me together.“What about the boy?” My voice broke, guttural, edged with both pain and fury. I leaned forward in my chair, my chest rising and falling unevenly.Silas, my beta, stood at my side with that infuriating calmness he always carried. He adjusted the cuff of his dark jacket, lips tugging into a smirk, as if my torment amused him. “We let him go,” he said smoothly, tilting his head slightly, “but right now he’s in the hospital… because of the stab wound. And we did something amazing in the human world.”His eyes gleamed when he said it. Even through the fog of pain, I caught it, that smug, dangerous glint.I narrowed my eyes, clutching my chest tighter. “What… did you do?”Silas lean
