All Chapters of The Hockey Alpha I Shouldn't Crave: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

♡♡ HYLARA ♡♡ "TURN IT OFF!" The disgusting photo of me barely covered and standing by my dresser stayed plastered on the rink's Jumbotron. My heartbeat thuds in my ears, my clammy hands trembling over my mouth as I stared unblinking at the all-too-familiar face with slightly closed eyes and dazzling smile on the big screen. This had to be a nightmare because there was no way a thousand pairs of eyes were ogling my exposed body barely covered by the thin strands of my golden hair. My hip had shifted just enough to conceal the crest-shaped scar below my belly button. But, the rest of my body was still exposed as if humiliation were part of the night's entertainment. Heat crawled beneath my skin as shame took over every shred of dignity I had. My chest clenched as hundreds of phones shot in the air, cameras flashing as everyone scrambled to capture my nightmare before it vanished. "DAMN! Who knew Hylara Hart looked so hot?" I cringed the moment the intern's breathy comment broke t

♡♡ HYLARA ♡♡ "You're late!" Creed stood by his locker in the empty locker room, his broad back turned to me, a thick heavy towel loosely wrapped around his waist. Water from his shower beaded on his spine, trailing down the ridges of his toned muscles. His dark brown hair was damp and spiky, and the delicious essence of his soap lingered on him making me want to dab his skin with my tongue. "With the way you're devouring me with your eyes, I'd think you've never seen a shirtless man." He scoffed without glancing my way, his voice dripping with disdain. I gulped, heat pricking my skin at having been caught ogling. "Maybe if you weren't living in your head, you'd realize I was waiting for you to wrap up whatever you're doing." I defended. There was something about him that made me act rashly with him. Slamming his locker shut, he turned towards me, a pair of black Tom Ford boxer briefs in his hand, his arrogant smirk not missing. My lips turned dry as the sharp V at his low

♡♡ HYLARA ♡♡ "HYLARA FREAKING HART! Wake up right this instant." I jolted up from the impact of my two roomies bursting through my door. "What? Can't a girl have her beauty sleep in peace?" I groaned, falling back into bed. "No can do my little conniving vixen." Samantha pulled me back up, a huge smile plastered across her round face, her ombre hair pulled into a messy bun. "That's right, you don't get to sleep peacefully after what you did behind our backs." Valerie gushed, her fingers patting my cheeks to ward off every trace of sleep as if her yellow pajamas weren't bright enough to keep me awake. "It's not even six o'clock yet, what did I do now?" I moaned, slapping her hands away before gently rubbing my eyes. "Right. You made our dorm proud, you kinda deserve to sleep all day—" Sam was cut off mid-sentence by a hyperactive Valerie. "Only after you fill us in on the details." Pointing a warning finger in my face, "You leave nothing behind." "What are you two talking a

♡✯HYLARA✯♡My spine straightened instinctively and I became painfully aware of my outfit, the way I wore my hair, and my posture.Was Kristen right about my appearance?My fingers on the table twitched and I resisted the urge to pull the band holding my blonde curls in a messy bun and let them fall.I hadn't seen him since the day he dumped my ass on ice. And now, I wanted more than anything for him to realize he'd made a terrible mistake and beg for my forgiveness.When Declan came to a stop by my table, my stomach dropped as his arm slipped possessively around Cassandra's slim waist. He didn't once look my way and that hurt more than I should have let it. What was wrong with me? Why the hell was I still reacting to a man who'd made his choice and was already living it?"Declan," Cassandra purred, pulling him in by the nape for a kiss. My stomach churned at the sight of them sucking the life out of each other like there was no one else in the cafeteria.Blinking away the tears that

009 - HIS ANGER ♡♡ HYLARA ♡♡ "Are you waiting for me to carry you in?" Heat crawled up my ears at how deep and gruff his voice sounded. Exactly ten minutes later, Creed's black Porsche pulled to a stop by the side of the park, but I didn't bother going to him.How did he know where to find me so quickly? I thought if I didn't reveal my location he'd give up on whatever he was planning. "What are you doing here?" Clutching the phone a little tighter, my voice faded towards the end. "How did you?""I don't have the luxury of time to waste on you, get in." Without waiting for my response, he hung up. As soon as the car door was shut, Creed set the car in motion into the heart of the city which was still full of life."Where are we going?" "The gala is in a few days.""Can I not go?" I needed a little break from the unwanted spotlight and going to that gala with Creed was like jumping into a pack of hungry wolves. Besides, I didn't have any dress and I wasn't about to break my savi
