All Chapters of Fake Dating The Alpha Hockey Captain: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

SIERRAI was going to kill my father."Absolutely not," I said, crossing my arms. "Dad, you can't be serious."Coach Bennett, my father sighed and set down his coffee mug. We were in his office at the Blackpine arena, the smell of ice and sweat lingering in the air. Through the window, I could see the team running drills."Sierra, it's one dinner. Maybe a few public appearances. That's it.""You want me to fake date Asher Kane. Your captain. The alpha of the Blackpine pack." I laughed, but it came out slightly hysterical. "Do you hear how insane that sounds?""The elders are breathing down his neck. They want him mated and settled. If he doesn't show he's working on it, they'll force an arranged pairing." Dad ran a hand through his graying hair. "Asher asked for my help. He trusts you.""He barely knows me.""You've been around the team since you were eight years old. He knows you well enough."I stared out the window. Asher was on the ice, moving with that effortless grace that made

SIERRADad's office felt smaller than usual with Asher, my mom, and me crammed inside.Mom had rushed over from work the moment I had called, still wearing her scrubs from the hospital. She sat beside me, her hand gripping mine, while Dad paced behind his desk."Let me get this straight," Dad said. "You're not human. You're a wolf. A late bloomer and you're Asher's, true mate.""Yes," I said quietly."And you found this out two days ago.""Yes.""And instead of telling us immediately, you decided to play hockey and make bets with Sebastian Crane?""That part wasn't planned," Asher interjected. "Sebastian forced my hand."Dad rounded on him. "You brought my daughter into pack politics. You let her onto the ice knowing she's a target.""She's safer with me than anywhere else.""That's not your call to make!""Actually, it is." Asher's voice went hard, alpha command bleeding through. "She's my mate. My responsibility and my priority."The air crackled with tension. Two alphas facing off,

SIERRAThe arena was filled.I have never seen this many people at a college hockey game. Both sets of bleachers were filled, the crowd split between Blackpine blue and Silvermoon silver. The energy was electric, aggressive, like everyone knew this was more than just hockey."You good?" Asher asked, skating up beside me during warm-ups."Terrified, but good." I took a shot at the net, missing by a mile. My hands were shaking."Hey." He moved closer, his voice low enough that only I could hear. "Remember what we practiced. Stay with me, watch for cross-checks, and don't engage with Sebastian.""What if he says something?""Ignore him. He's trying to get in your head." Asher's eyes flashed gold. "That's my job."I laughed despite my nerves. "Territorial much?""Always."The ref blew the whistle. Game time.Dad gave us a final pep talk in the locker room, but I barely heard it. My wolf was awake and restless, sensing danger. When we took the ice for the national anthem, I scanned the Sil

SIERRAThe room reeked of antiseptic and leather, the distant buzz of the ice arena out in the hallways still rattling the walls. Asher sat on the corner of Dad’s office desk, one knee iced, the other tapping out a rhythm of impatience. "I mean it," I said, my voice low. “It’s because I picked you. I want to do this because I’m choosing you. Not because of pack law, not because of politics, not because Mom lied."He regarded me for a long moment, brow knitting, jaw clenched. “Are you sure?”I didn’t think twice. “Terrified, yes. “More terrified of dying than I am of losing you.”Asher’s lips twitched, almost a smile. Then he bent forward and his hand touched mine now, hotter than ever. Heat spread through my chest. “Then we do it right,” he said. “Full ceremony. Witnesses, parents, proper bond. No shortcuts.”I swallowed hard, nodding. “Okay. Let’s get this over with before Sebastian decides to come early.”Dad cleared his throat behind us. “We’ll prepare The team will witness. Cl

Sierra The sun was setting over Blackpine.The air was brisk, and I could see my breath as I exhaled in little puffs while trailing Asher down the deserted lanes to the store he’d assured me was “the best ice cream in town.”I raised an eyebrow. “You really want me to believe this has to do with ice cream and not some secret alpha bonding ritual disguised as dessert?”He smiled that lazy, infuriating smile that makes my stomach flip. “It’s so much about the ice cream. You just wait.”It felt…normal. Cozy. The kind of place I never pictured myself found in the midst of a wolf pack saga, but maybe that was just what I needed.I looked around. There were only a few people inside few students clustered under a couple of milkshakes. The pink neon sign behind the counter buzzed: Sundaes & Smiles. I rolled my eyes at the cheesiness but smiled anyway. Asher led the way and held the door for me, like a proper gentleman, and my heart did that thing where it just… skipped.“So,” I said as I s
