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

RUBYThe morning greeted me with a comforting heaviness. My body aching was a proof to how much fun I had yesterday. Memories of the outing filled my thoughts, and for once, they weren’t overshadowed by regret.Kiara had been a breath of fresh air, full of energy and excitement to have me as her brother's mate. She dragged us to places I had only seen on TV or through the windows of passing street buses: a quaint diner with milkshakes and the best pancakes I’d ever tasted, a lively carnival Mom once promised we’d visit together, and a serene park adorned with fairy lights.For the first time in years, I let myself enjoy the moment and allowed my wolf to communicate with me freely. I laughed without restraint, and my wolf felt giddy with excitement as she guided me to win games at the carnival. For once, I forgot the weight of my reality.Yesterday felt like a dream, I didn’t want to end.But now, as I shifted in bed, exhaustion clung to me like a second skin. I buried my face deeper i

SEBASTIAN Ruby’s laughter was light, melodic, and completely out of place in the moment. Even though I was confused, I couldn’t deny the pull her laugh had on my heart. It was sweet, almost addictive, and so contagious that I felt the corners of my lips twitching. I wanted to laugh along with her, but bursting into laughter without knowing why would be ridiculous. I blinked, trying to piece together what had just happened as Ruby laughed uncontrollably, her hand nearly covering her mouth. Why was she laughing? Was it because I told her my wolf wanted to fvk her? No. Ruby couldn’t be laughing because of that... could she? I glanced at her in confusion, then quickly looked down at myself as I leaned back in my seat. My shirt? Clean. No weird stains. My jeans? Intact. What could possibly be so funny? I even checked my reflection in the rearview mirror. Nothing out of the ordinary. My confusion deepened as I turned back to look at her, my brow furrowing. My patience was

SEBASTIAN“Can you grant me access to your wolf?” I asked, staring into her striking blue eyes.Ruby flinched, her breath hitching as the uncomfortable look I was becoming too familiar with washed over her.I barely remembered I was driving when I furrowed my brows slightly, staring deeper into her eyes as though the answer lay within them. My wolf, unhelpful as ever, flashed a vivid image of Ruby in her thin nightwear from last night and a tingling sensation danced through me. Noticing a slight movement of her lips, I shifted my gaze from her eyes to her trembling lips as they parted slightly as though she was about to speak.But before a word escaped her, a loud crash jolted us both.The car lurched forward violently, and Ruby was thrown toward the dashboard.“Ruby!” I growled, one hand gripping the steering wheel while the other shot out to stop her from hitting her head.Quickly steadying the car, I pulled over to the side of the road, letting the idiot behind us pass. My heart

RUBYEvery fiber of my being screamed at me to turn around and avoid a confrontation I might regret, but something inside refused to let me back down. I wasn’t going to let anyone make me feel small anymore.The strap of my bag slipped down my shoulder, and I jerked it back into place, my eyes never leaving Annalisa. She was approaching with her arms crossed, her blonde hair styled into two sleek braids, and her short purple dress radiating luxury. Her icy eyes took me in with a look of disdain.Once again, my mind went back to the nightmare, and a shiver ran down my spine. But I quickly pushed it aside.It was just a dream. Annalisa may hate me now, but I didn’t believe she’d go as far as trying to kill me. It was just one year, I would leave Sebastian.I took a steadying breath, forcing myself to meet her frosty stare as my heart hammered in my chest."As far as I know, Omegas are only meant to be one of two things: pup carriers or playthings for wolves who don’t want anything ser

RUBY It took me a moment to realize why my heart had jolted. I glanced over at Aiden, and my mind flashed back to him leaning closer to my face just moments ago. Aiden was looking at me with a slight frown as he took another slow bite of his sandwich.My eyes dropped to his lips and my stomach fluttered with nerves. Immediately I looked away.Would he really have kissed me if Sebastian hadn’t called just then? And if I could remember this will be the second time Aiden was making attempt to kiss me. Why this sudden change from him?“Ruby?” Sebastian’s voice on the other end of the phone was loud and concerned.“Yea..." I said, unsure of what to say."I said to wait for me there. I’ll come pick you up.”"Okay,” I replied sharply.As Sebastian ended the call, I began gathering my things, slipping my notes into my bag. Part of me knew Sebastian wouldn’t mind seeing me with Aiden. After all, Aiden was just my friend. But knowing he’d almost kissed me left me feeling strangely unsettle

RUBYI cried myself to sleep last night... After Sebastian left, I scolded my wolf for pushing him against the wall.She claimed she was trying to protect me because I seemed to be afraid of how he was touching me, and she said she didn’t mean to act so violently but...But what? Did I ask her for that? To act out of control, like I had that night, five years ago?The memory flooded back and a wave of guilt washed over me. Tears burned my eyes as I thought of how Mom had shielded me, burying my mistake that night to protect me. The guilt, mixed with the ache of losing her, felt raw with each memory. It was as if I could hear her voice, feel her arms around me, smoothing my hair and soothing me with her laughter. I hugged her photo frame to my chest, letting myself fall apart just a little longer.When I awoke the next day, my heart felt a little lighter, though my eyes were heavy as lead."I'm sorry, I no longer work there," I told a customer on the phone who wanted to order coffee

SEBASTIANRuby had done something strange to me. I thought I could keep my wolf under control, suppressing the cravings for sex to protect our fake bond.But since that intense moment with her last night that I smelled her arousal, my control began slippingMy wolf had gone wild, fierce and restless. I’d fought against the pull all day, trying to shake the sensations gnawing at me.But the moment I stepped into Lex Club with Robert, where one of our teammates was celebrating his birthday, the last thread of control snapped. The heavy scent of alcohol filled the air, laced with a faint, unmistakable smell of sex. That slight trace should’ve been easy to ignore, but it hit me hard, igniting something feral within me."I want to go," I whispered into Robert’s ear.He snapped his head up, confusion settling on his face under the glittering lights. "We just got here. What changed?" he asked, his voice barely cutting through the loud music.I wished I could tell him the truth, but I coul

RUBY"Lizzy is the Queen K leader. If I join, I’ll be under her. I doubt she’ll accept me easily, not after looking down on me for so long," I said, watching Cassie wave down a cab to take us back to the dorms.She paused, looking at me like I’d said something unbelievable."People in power rarely change, especially someone like Lizzy. She treats bullying Omegas like it’s her life’s mission.""Come on, Ruby, you’re in a higher position now," Cassie said, smirking."If Lizzy tries shit, just remind her of her place. She might be an Alpha’s daughter, but you’re the future Luna of this pack. This isn’t her father’s territory."I knew my new position meant no one would dare mess with me now. But this role was temporary, and I didn’t want to draw unnecessary attention. I had to be careful with every move I made here, knowing Sebastian and I would part ways by this time next year."Getting back at Lizzy would make me just as cruel as her, and that’s the last thing I want," I said, tucking a

RUBY The next day, I woke up late for school for the first time. As loud as my annoying alarm was, I didn’t even know when it rang and went off. After Sebastian dropped me off last night, I’d climbed into bed after a shower, hoping to drift off immediately but sleep wouldn’t come. Instead, everything that had happened at the packhouse kept playing in my head, scene after scene, refusing to let me rest. And the kiss with Sebastian… that was the worst part, looping through my mind like a glitching reel, something I couldn’t turn off no matter how hard I tried. I tossed and turned, even whispering a quick prayer to the goddess to let me sleep. Eventually, sleep must have crept in without me realizing it, because the next thing I knew, I was jerking awake, breathless and sweating. The image of Annalisa’s wolf with blazing eyes, seared through my mind. In the nightmare, she lunged at me, slashing her claws down my side when she saw me with Sebastian. I shuddered as the dream fl
