All Chapters of Twin Aces: Claimed by the Alpha Captain (MM Romance): Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Orion POV The heavy wooden door to the master bedroom was the only thing standing between me and the storm.I stood in the dim hallway of my penthouse, holding a fresh silver tray loaded with bottles of cold water, medical cooling packs, and clean linen cloths. My face was still pale from the long night at the arena, but my mind was focused on keeping my star playmaker safe. I had forced myself to step away for just five minutes to gather these supplies, trying to maintain my signature control.But the moment my large hand gripped the bronze handle and pushed the door open, that control was completely shattered.An absolute, invisible wall of pure biological force crashed straight into my face. The medical air filtration system was running on a closed loop, trapping every single molecule of air inside the massive suite. The space was completely filled with the thick scent of pure vanilla and fresh honey. It wasn't a soft hint or a subtle trace anymore. It was a roaring, sweet fire of

Lucian POV The heavy gray shadows in the room told me that days had passed, but time meant absolutely nothing anymore.I woke up right in the middle of my three-day heat cycle, my mind floating in a thick, warm haze of pure happiness and deep comfort. The terrifying panic about Game Two, the fear of the league bosses, and the ghost of Thomas Vance had completely vanished from my brain. My entire body felt incredibly heavy, soft, and totally melted into the mattress. I felt completely safe locked away in this room with him, tucked far away from the cameras and the loud crowds.The dangerous fever was still humming beneath my skin, but it didn't feel like a destructive fire anymore. It felt like a deep, comfortable glow.I opened my dazed eyes slowly, trying to look through the sweet mist of my own pheromones. The air inside the closed bedroom was incredibly warm, filled with the thick, delicious scent of vanilla, fresh honey, and Orion’s heavy cedar wood. The two smells had completely

Lucian POVThe heavy, warm haze that had clouded my brain for three days was completely gone.When my eyes slowly opened, everything was perfectly sharp and clear. I didn't feel the suffocating, fiery heat of the fever anymore, nor did I feel the freezing numbness that usually followed a big dose of blockers. For the first time in six years, my mind felt incredibly light, and my body felt beautifully balanced.I sat up slowly in the middle of the bed, preparing myself for the usual sharp sting in my lower spine.But as I straightened my shoulders, I gasped in pure shock. The severe pain from Fenrir Vane’s late hit was entirely gone. The bruise along my lower back was still a little tender to the touch, but the swelling had vanished. Without the toxic pills stunting my biology, my natural healing had worked at double its normal speed, fully repairing my muscles while I slept inside the nest.I felt stronger, faster, and more alive than I ever had since joining the professional hockey l

Lucian POVThe arena lights were really bright. They were shining down on the wet ice. Even though it was freezing inside the stadium, my blood felt hot with excitement.The stadium was very loud. There were thousands of screaming fans, flashing cameras, and loud drums. We were back in the arena for Game Four against the Ironclaw Titans. This was the most important game of the season. The people on television who talk about sports have been wrong. They said the series was tied with two wins for each team. But last night, Thomas Vance told us the truth. We did not win Game Three. The league had changed the records. We were officially facing total elimination tonight.If we lost this game, our playoff run was over. The people who own the league would destroy our lives.I looked across the red center line. I saw Fenrir Vane standing on the other side. He was the mean player who had slammed me into the wall and hurt my body before. He stared at me through his dark visor with a cruel smile.

Lucian POVThe cold morning air inside the empty arena usually made me feel sharp, fast, and completely alive. Today was Game Five, the final, winner-takes-all battle for the championship. The stadium was silent, devoid of the twenty thousand screaming fans who would fill the seats in just a few hours. The only sounds were the sharp echo of hockey pucks hitting the boards and the rhythmic scraping of skates on fresh ice. After our victory in Game Four, the Titans buzzed with high-stakes energy. We had proven that when Orion and I played together, the Ironclaw Titans couldn’t touch us.My body felt stronger and more balanced than during my six years on synthetic blockers. My Omega healing had repaired the deep bruise on my spine, leaving me feeling fast, light, and ready to face Fenrir Vane’s threats. I had trained harder than ever, pushing beyond limits I thought I knew, preparing myself for this moment."Let’s run the first-line breakout drill one more time," Orion’s deep voice boome
