Contract With My Hockey Alpha CHAPTER 9
RUBY I could sense the atmosphere around us shifting, as if something new was awakening when I looked deep into his dark eyes. It was almost unnoticeable, but then it hit me— a scent. His scent. I had always noticed it before, but now it seemed… different. More intense, more intoxicating, like fresh rain mixed with something warm and inviting. It wrapped around me like a blanket, and I found myself leaning into it, drawn to him in a way that startled me. My breath hitched as I took in his features; sharp jawline, tousled brown hair, and those eyes, deep and dark like the night sky. He looked more handsome than I’d ever allowed myself to admit before.What was happening to me?We were supposed to be pretending. This wasn’t real. And yet, in this moment, with his strong arms around my waist and his eyes locked on mine, it felt real. Too real.My thoughts were jumbled, swimming between reality and the overwhelming emotions of the moment.“You’re beautiful,” a voice said, breaking throu

SEBASTIAN I never felt so hungry for lips before but tonight I was. Since the dance with Ruby, I had been battling with everything inside me not to devour her mouth as my wolf reminded me of how her lips tasted the first time I kissed her at the school night party. I was drunk that night but I couldn't forget her taste.Even now as my gaze dropped to her lips, I fucking wanted to taste her. Her breath hitched the moment she realized where I was staring at and Immediately she snapped her head to look out the window. I smirked, licking my lips as I focused back on the road.I could still feel the warmth of her body from the dance. There was something about holding Ruby close that made it feel... less fake.There was something different about her, something I hadn’t felt with any other girl, but I knew she wasn’t my mate. If Ruby were, I should’ve felt the undeniable bond sparking between us. But there was nothing. Just emptiness where that connection should be.Why was I even thinkin

SEBASTIAN Annalisa had always been strong, but in this moment, she seemed fragile, and my heart squeezed. I had hurt her. “I’m sorry,” I whispered, though I wasn’t sure what I was apologizing for exactly. For hurting her? For not loving her the way she wanted me to? Or maybe for the lie I’d just got myself into with Ruby.When her sobs started to quiet, she pulled back just enough to look up at me, her hands still gripping the fabric of my shirt. Her eyes, red and puffy, flickered between my lips and my eyes.“Sebastian… I love you. I mean it. I fucking love you. I’ve wished my whole life that the goddess will destiny us as mates,” she whispered, her voice shaky, filled with so much longing and hope that it broke something inside me."Annalisa, we..." I began, but before I finished, she leaned up and kissed me.I froze for a second, my heart thumping away. I knew I shouldn’t. But as her lips pressed against mine, I kissed her back. I didn't know if it was because of the familiari

RUBYFor the past few minutes, my annoying alarm clock had been ringing, urging me to get ready for school, but I didn’t move from my bed. Instead, I groaned, curling deeper under my blanket as last night’s events replayed in my mind. Suddenly, my body shuddered with fear, gripped by familiar trauma as Sebastian's voice asking about my wolf rang in my ears.No. No. No. I couldn’t let myself think about the past. I threw off the blanket, sitting upright in bed and gasping for air.Just then, my phone buzzed beside the alarm clock on my nightstand. Shit! I’d forgotten to turn it off after using it in the mid-night during the power outage.Groaning, I reached for it. The screen lit up with a notification."You've just received $150,000 from Sebastian Kings."I gasped, my hand almost covering my mouth. I had never seen that much money in my entire life. My mind raced, trying to process the shocking amount.Before I could make sense of it, another message appeared."Thank you, Ruby" Seba

RUBYAs Annalisa approached, the lively buzz in the air began to die down. Even the hockey boys, who had been singing just moments ago, lowered their voices to a murmur. Everyone knew or at least assumed that the goddess would bond Annalisa and Sebastian as mates. But now, the tables had seemingly turned.The thought hovered over the crowd like a dark cloud, stirring uneasy whispers through the courtyard.I stood still, my breath shallow, trying not to let the awkwardness overwhelm me."Uh-oh, looks like a storm’s heading our way," Cassie whispered beside me.My stomach twisted with nerves, but my eyes never left Annalisa, whose every stride felt like it trampled my heart. I had never crossed path with her before or seen her anywhere bullying omegas like others but I refused to believe she was different from them. "She must be losing it because of the news. After all, everyone thought she’d end up with Sebastian, but now it's..." Cassie trailed off as Annalisa reached usShe stoppe

RUBY"Don’t stress about Aiden," Cassie said, squeezing my arm. "He might not be Sebastian’s biggest fan, but he’ll get over it. He cares about you, you know."Of course, Aiden cared about me. I was scared he would even confront or hit Sebastian if he saw him flirting with other girls, now that we were supposedly mates.I forced a smile, pushing the feeling aside. "And hey," Cassie added, her brows lifting playfully. "You’ve got your school fees now, right?"I nodded, hoping she’d leave it there. But Cassie’s eyes narrowed as she studied my face, suspicion flickering in her gaze."Wait a minute…" She grabbed my shoulders, giving me a little shake like she always did if she wanted to know the truth. But that was just her own superstition. "Sebastian sent you the money, didn’t he?" She asked.I shifted nervously, glancing around before answering."Yes," I whispered.Cassie’s eyes lit up as she let go my shoulders, her triumphant gasp loud enough to draw a few curious glances."I kn

RUBYI stepped back quickly, confusion flickering across my face. Aiden stared at me, disappointment flickering in his eyes, mixed with something close to the pain of rejection. His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but then he pressed them shut as I took another step back.He was always hard to read, but this time, I knew exactly what I saw or was I imagining things?“I... I’m sorry, Ruby. I wouldn’t have reacted like that if your mate isn’t Sebastian. He’s an asshole, you know that,” Aiden said with a sigh, dragging his fingers through his hair.I let out a bitter chuckle, anger still simmering, though not as sharp as before.“I know what Sebastian is like. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to reject him. I mean... it’s not like I had a choice. The Goddess chose him for me,” I said, my stomach twisting at how easily the lie slipped off my tongue.“Would you reject your mate just because of their past?” I asked, meeting Aiden’s gaze.He opened his mouth, then shu

SEBASTIANThe hockey rink echoed with the sharp slice of skates on ice, the clash of sticks, and the shouts of encouragement from our coach, Brody. He stood on the sidelines, watching us intently, assessing every move like he always did.Today’s practice was going smoothly, much better than before, when Brody would blow his whistle every five seconds, frustrated with my lack of focus.Back then, my mind had been tangled with my father’s expectations, and the constant pressure was throwing me off.The fact that I couldn’t find my fated mate had me worried sick. The pressure was suffocating, making me feel like there was no way out.But thanks to Ruby, I managed to pull through, even though what connected us wasn’t the bond of the Goddess. And now, everyone believed it was.I hadn’t expected my teammates to come out earlier, holding a banner with photos of Ruby and me from last night. I was really surprised to see them cheering for us. They’d been rooting for me, hoping the Goddess wou

LIZZYThe moment my phone buzzed, I hesitated before walking to the bed and checking the message. I wasn’t sure if I was ready to face the consequences of what I had done. But when I read the texts on my screen, a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding escaped my lips."Alpha Maximus has ordered that you should stay in school. Thanks to Dr. Sam, you will not be expelled. But the school head wants to see you in his office tomorrow morning."I reread the message Mrs. Whitewoods had just sent to me again, my fingers gripping my phone tightly. I should have felt grateful that I wasn’t going back to my pack.That I wasn’t going to face my parents’ disappointment. Sure, two of them would look at me like another problem added to their already miserable lives.I wasn’t ready to see them, or hear whatever lecture my father had prepared about what it meant to be the daughter of an Alpha, the expectations I had failed to meet.Maybe a part of me was grateful for all that, but it was buried beneat

ANNALISA "Why did you save her?" My voice was thick with anger as I stepped into the dimly lit room, the air heavy with the stench of alcohol and cigarette smoke.Even though my skin burned with rage, a cold sweat ran down my back the moment the door closed behind me.Warren sat on a stool, his back to me, lazily exhaling a cloud of smoke as he stared at his reflection in the grimy mirror. The wall beside it was covered in brutal red notes and pinned-up pictures of people, the knives securing them gleaming under the flickering light.A chill ran down my spine.I didn't coming here to meet Warren but after I tried calling him countless times and he ignored every call. I had no choice. My body boiled with anger at the memory of that damn video I watched earlier. The way Warren had jumped in to save Ruby from the pool. Warren didn't respond, but I heard the sound of his throat as he swallowed his drink, the glass settling onto the table with a dull thud.I growled, stepping forward, d

SEBASTIANMy blood was already boiling when I pulled into the driveway. The moment I saw Graham standing at the entrance with Ruby, I let out a low growl, my wolf stirring inside me.What was he fucking doing here?I was already fucking furious. The second Kiara called me earlier, telling me that my father had ordered Lizzy to stay in school, I knew something—or someone—had gotten to him. And when I arrived at the packhouse, I saw Doctor Sam just getting into his car.I didn’t know what the hell Doctor Sam had said, but whatever it was, it made my father refuse to hear a damn word from me.Not even my mother could sway him, and that pissed her off badly. I had never seen my father dismiss her like that before. It surprised me, making me wonder what kind of deal Doctor Sam had made with him.He hadn't even let me speak before shutting his office door in my face.I had stormed out of there in a rage. And now, coming home to find Doctor Sam’s son in my house?With Ruby?What was he fucki

RUBY"Are you not okay with this?" Sebastian said softly as he studied my face."Of course... I'm okay. Lizzy got what she deserved," I flashed a small smile. From the corner of my eye, I could see Cassie staring at us before she focused back on her phone.I wasn’t sure if I was truly okay with Lizzy leaving the school, considering her mother’s situation. I didn't know the specifics of her health condition, but from what I’d heard, she had been suffering for a long time.Maybe a different punishment would have been better than expulsion."She will serve as a lesson to anyone else who dares to treat you like shit. And if she tries anything after this, I'll do worse than what she got now," Sebastian cupped my face in his hands. His jaw clenched, and I could tell he wasn’t just punishing Lizzy for what she did to me, he had his own reasons for wanting her gone.But could Lizzy really hate Sebastian for no reason? He had told me to be careful around her but...Could it be that Sebastian

RUBY After soaking in the warm bath for a while, I finally stepped out, wrapping myself in a thick towel. The heat had eased the ache in my muscles, but my thoughts remained tangled. I dried myself off, walked into the bedroom, and picked up the cup of tea Noelle had left on the nightstand. It was still warm, and I took slow sips, letting the herbal scent soothe me. Dropping the cup down, I walked into the closet, and grabbed the thickest sweater I could find, along with some sweatpants. As I pulled them on, my mind drifted to Aiden and Cassie. They must have been worried sick about me. I wanted to call and tell them I was fine when I remembered my phone was inside my bag… which was still in my locker at school. I sighed, pulling the sweater over my head. As I tied my hair into a loose ponytail and stepped out of the closet, the door to my room swung open. “Ruby!” Cassie rushed in and hugged me tightly, nearly knocking the air out of my lungs. “I’m fine, Cass,” I said, patting h

RUBY "You okay?" Sebastian glanced over at me. It wasn’t the first time he had asked. In fact, I had lost count of how many times he had checked on me. I had a headache, but I forced a smile. "Yea." When his eyes diverted to Warren’s jacket beside me, his lips parted as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t. Instead, he refocused on the road. I sighed. The warmth of the car’s heater eased the cold from my skin, but it did nothing to dull the pounding in my head. When I smelled another scent mixed with Sebastian's as he carried me out of the pool area, I knew instantly that it belonged to Warren. Even though it was faint, I could tell it irritated Sebastian. Sebastian had never given me cold glares before until today. That's why I didn't hesitate to shrug off warren's jacket. He was jealous. And I didn’t think it was just an act anymore. For a while, I had convinced myself that everything was part of the contract. That he was just playing his role, pretending to be pos

SEBASTIAN I tightened my grip around Ruby, my arms securing her close to my chest as I stepped out of the exit. The whispers of the students faded into the background, but my mind kept replaying that moment I walked in and saw fucking Warren crouched in front of her.That bastard had his hand in her hair, pulling it back from her face. Worse, he was looking from her eyes to her lips like he wanted her. Like he was tempted to do something he had no fucking right to. My wolf growled as anger boiled inside me. He had the fucking guts to touch what was mine and then smirk at me, opening his damn mouth to say, "It’s not like I kissed her. Though, she does have soft lips."Hearing that, I nearly lost it. My wolf snarled in my head, ready to rip him apart. Ruby may not have been my fated mate, but as long as the contract between us hadn’t expired, she was mine.How dare he?How dare he speak to me like that?How dare he talk about my Ruby like she was some casual prize he could toy with

RUBY I couldn’t breathe.The water swallowed me whole.The pool’s icy grip tightened around my body as I thrashed, my limbs burning with exhaustion. Panic clawed at my chest as I fought to surface, but I didn’t know how to swim. I couldn’t swim.My lungs screamed for air. My vision blurred. Was this how it would end?Sebastian...I reached for him through the mind-link, my silent plea laced with desperation."Ruby! What's happening? Where are you? Answer me!" His voice was sharp with fear, but I couldn’t respond. My body was growing weaker. The darkness at the edges of my vision stretched, consuming me.Then, just as I was slipping away, strong arms wrapped around me.A force yanked me upward, breaking through the suffocating depths. Cold air rushed against my skin as my body was hauled onto solid ground, laid on the cold tiles, but I barely noticed. My chest convulsed, and water spilled from my mouth as I coughed violently, my entire body trembling.My eyes were still closed but I w

RUBYIt had been three weeks since the night I told Sebastian about my past. Sometimes, the nightmares still came, but they didn’t choke me with the same kind of fear anymore.I didn't know if it was because of Sebastian, all I knew was that whenever he fell asleep beside me, I slept like a baby. But he didn’t always stay.Sometimes, when the dreams became too much, I mindlinked him to come over.Other times, I wouldn’t even have to call him. I’d wake from the terror only to find him beside me, wrapping himself around me as if he just knew I needed him.I always wished Sebastian could sleep in my room every night, but he wouldn’t.He told me he couldn’t trust himself to be in the same bed with me every night. And I believed him because I felt the same. I wasn’t sure I could be around him without something happening between us.There were moments when we caught ourselves making out, satisfying our desires with nothing but our hands, as if we couldn’t help it. And when reality hit, we’d
