Fake Dating The Hockey Alpha Chapter 21: Tryout
Aria As I approach Vanessa and her crew, I feel Mia practically vibrating beside me, like she’s gearing up for a battle. Her forced smile is so fake it could qualify as plastic, but hey, we all play the game differently. Vanessa and her pack of mean girls are laughing, probably over some dumbass joke that wouldn’t even make it to the blooper reel of a bad sitcom.“Hello, Vanessa,” Mia says, voice dripping with fake sweetness.Vanessa turns, her perfectly arched brow rising like she’s the queen of the universe. “What the fuck is this?” Her eyes land on me, and she smirks. “Oh my god. You dyed your hair blonde.”A little smile tugs at my lips as I twirl a strand around my finger. “Yeah. I wanted a change, you know?”“Is that why you came over here?” “No, actually,” Mia interrupts before I can respond. “Aria’s here to join the cheerleading team.”And boom. Like clockwork, they all burst out laughing, and I swear one of them snorts like a pig. It takes everything in me not to roll my ey

AriaChristmas is just two days away, and the hall already smells like the season itself—peppermint, pine, and that cloyingly sweet sugar-cookie air freshener someone thought was a brilliant idea to pump through the vents. The air is crisp, carrying a slight chill, but the soft glow of Christmas lights strung everywhere adds a cozy warmth to the atmosphere.My dress, a festive piece Lucas picked out for me at the boutique, clings in all the right places. I hate to admit it, but the guy has an annoyingly impeccable sense of style.“I really didn’t want to come here this evening.” Lily sighs dramatically, flipping her blonde hair over her shoulder. “It’s only because of you guys. You know how much I hate scavenger hunts.”“Come on, Lil, loosen up,” I say, pouting for effect. “We’re gonna have so much fun.”She narrows her eyes. “Fine, I’ll try. But I’m really just waiting for the ‘find your mate’ thing to happen.” Her dreamy sigh makes me cringe.Mia rolls her eyes dramatically. “That’s

Mia“All right, so where do we start?” I ask, holding up the paper. My voice is already dripping with annoyance because, honestly, this guy just existing near me is fucking exhausting.“We can start by getting to know each other,” Damon says, flashing that stupid, cocky grin that probably works on every other girl but me.I ignore him and keep walking. “Mia Jackson, right? What a lovely name you got there.” His voice is so smug I can practically feel it.I stop dead in my tracks and whip around to glare at him. “How the hell do you know my last name?”“I did my research,” he says with a wink, like he’s in some movie where stalking is cute.“Stalker,” I mutter under my breath, turning back to the clue. I read it aloud: “I’m something sweet, striped red and white. Find me where stars shine bright.”Damon tilts his head like he’s thinking real hard—which, let’s be honest, is probably rare for him. “Hmmm. Got any ideas?”“Nope. But I do know one thing,” I glare at him. “You’re fucking an

Lucas I stride down the hallway with Lily keeping pace beside me. Honestly, I have no idea what we’re supposed to be looking for..Goddess knows, but I don’t care. My mind’s somewhere else.Or rather, on someone else.Aria.And that bastard, Ethan.I can’t stand the thought of him being anywhere near her. Leaving her alone with him feels like handing her over to a damn snake. If he so much as breathes wrong in her direction, I swear I’ll kill him. No hesitation. That fucking bastard doesn’t deserve to be in the same room as her.“Alpha Lucas, are you even listening?” Lily’s voice cuts through my haze, yanking me back to reality.“What?” I blink and glance at her.She pouts, her blue eyes doing that fluttery thing that I guess is supposed to be cute. “You haven’t said anything about the clue. Where are we going?”I roll my eyes, trying not to groan. “Sorry, puzzles aren’t really my thing.”“Let me see,” she says, holding out her hand.I raise the paper up instead, scanning the words: R

Aria “What the fuck is going on here?”I spin around so fast I nearly trip over my own feet. Lucas is standing there, arms crossed, gray eyes burning a hole straight through Ethan’s head. For the first time since this fucking scavenger hunt started, Ethan’s grip on my arm loosens.“It’s nothing. We were just talking,” Ethan says calmly. Then, he has the audacity to smirk at me. “Right, Aria?”Silly bastard. My blood boils, and I jerk my arm free.“What did you do to her, you bastard?” Lucas snaps, closing the distance between him and Ethan in two steps. His broad shoulders block out most of my view of Ethan, but I can see his smirk falter. “Why were your filthy hands on my girlfriend?”Girlfriend? Again?!Ethan holds up his hands like this is all some big misunderstanding. “Relax, man. Like I said, we were just talking.”But Lucas doesn’t back off. He squares his jaw, towering over Ethan like he’s ready to throw him overboard. Honestly, I wouldn’t stop him.I take a deep breath, forc

“Why can’t you just be mine?” he growls, his voice low and rough. “You used to be all over me, and now you’re with Lucas. You even dyed your hair blonde for him.”“Yes, I did. Because I don’t want anything to do with you,” I bite out, shoving at his chest.“You’re mine, Aria.”“Fuck you,” I spit. “Go back to Vanessa.”He laughs bitterly, shaking his head. “Don’t you get it? Vanessa will be my Luna. But you—you’ll be my little slut on the side.”My stomach twists with rage, and I try to slap him, but he catches my wrist, holding it tight.“Don’t act like you don’t want me,” he sneers, his breath hot against my ear. “Have you forgotten how loud you screamed my name when I fucked your tight cunt?”“I hate you,” I choke out, tears burning my eyes.“Oh, I know you do,” he says mockingly. “That’s why you’ll always be mine, no matter what. You’re not good enough to be anyone’s Luna—not mine, not Lucas’s.”Those words cut deeper than I want to admit. I feel my heart splintering all over again

Aria I take a shaky step back as Vanessa stalks toward me, her sharp heels clicking against the floor like a damn countdown to my doom. Her smile isn’t even a smile…it’s a fucking sneer, and her perfectly manicured nails, tap against her folded arms.“What do I want?” she repeats, mocking my earlier question. “Let’s see… what the fuck do you think you’re doing, Aria? Have you forgotten your place in the pack, you little shit?”I instinctively step back again, hitting the cold wall behind me. Great, nowhere to go. “What are you talking about, Vanessa?” I manage to say, though my voice sounds smaller than I want it to.Vanessa rolls her eyes dramatically, flipping her glossy hair over her shoulder. “You’re such a joke,” she spits, stepping closer and jabbing her finger into my chest, hard. “Who gave you the right to join my cheerleading team?”“Why can’t I?” My voice rises, shaky but defiant. “Why can’t I fucking join? Am I not a person like you?”Her laugh is sharp, cutting. “No, you’

Lucas My heart is pounding so hard it feels like it’s trying to break out of my chest as I rush into the medical center with Aria in my arms. She’s limp, ice-cold, and way too pale, but her heartbeat is still there—thank the Moon Goddess.Where the fuck is Ethan? If that bastard locked her in that freezer, I swear I’ll rip him apart.The moment I burst through the door, Maria, the resident doctor, practically sprints toward me.“Alpha Lucas, what happened?” “I don’t know. I found her like this,” I growl, laying Aria down on one of the beds. Maria’s hands are already working as I speak, pulling out equipment and checking her over.Her lips are blue, her skin is icy, and her blonde hair is frosted at the edges like she’s been through a blizzard. The sight makes something primal and angry claw at my chest. How the hell did this happen?“Her body is cold… her temperature’s dangerously low,” Maria mutters, frowning as she checks Aria’s pulse.“I found her passed out in the cold room,” I

Aria“So, what are we gonna do about this?” Mia glares at the box sitting like some cursed artifact in the trash can.I cross my arms, scowling at the damn thing. “I don’t know, but whoever’s doing this is seriously grinding my nerves.” I glance at the boutique behind us. “We were outside, then went in. Maybe they shoved it in there while we were distracted.”“Or when we stopped at the restaurant,” Lily chimes in, suspicious.I tug at my hair, frustration clawing at my scalp. “I don’t care where or when! All I know is this asshole is messing with us.”“No scent,’’ Mia sniffs the air like a bloodhound. “They definitely masked it. Smart, sneaky bastard.”Lily hugs herself, staring at the box like it’s a ticking bomb. “Aria, maybe we should just tell Alpha Lucas. Let him deal with this.”“No, not yet.” I grab the box and hug it to my chest. “We don’t need to bring him into this. I’ve got it under control.”Mia arches a brow so high it might’ve hit orbit. “Oh, yeah? How exactly, Einstein?
Fake Dating The Hockey Alpha Chapter 54: Suspect
Aria"Okay, everyone calm the hell down," I mutter, resting my elbow on the table and glancing around. The room’s buzzing with chatter, forks clinking against plates, and nobody seems to notice the chaos brewing at our table. “We have to be careful. The culprit might be here.”Mia leans forward, her eyes wide like fucking saucer. “That’s why this is so fucking crazy! We can’t just keep quiet about it, Aria. We need to report it.”“She’s right,” Lily adds, her fingers tightening around her coffee mug. “This is insane. I mean, it’s you. Aren’t you scared?”I let out a breath, running my hand through my hair. “Of course I’m scared! But I wanna figure out who did this shit first.” My voice drops to a whisper. “This isn’t just some prank.”“Uh, what about the finger? Like, what if someone finds it in the trash?” Lily sips her coffee like she didn’t just say the most horrifying thing ever.“Great,” Mia groans, pushing her plate away. “Now I’m imagining someone opening the trash and finding

MiaI can’t fucking believe what I’ve done. Like, seriously, what the actual fuck, Mia? I slept with Damon. DAMON.As I put on my shoes and throw on my gown, I feel my cheeks burn hotter than a stove. I bolt out of his room before he can even open his damn mouth to say anything. Nope, not today, Satan. No way I’m sticking around for his silly explanations or that infuriating smirk.By the time I reach my suite, I’m practically yanking at my hair. How am I gonna explain this to Lily? She’ll never let me live this down. I pause at the door, punching in the code and taking a deep breath. I just hope she’s still asleep…or, I don’t know, passed out drunk.The door slides open, and of course, the universe hates me because there they are… Lily and Aria, sitting on the bed, staring at me like they’re on the goddamn Supreme Court.“And she makes an appearance,” Lily chirps, crossing her arms. Aria? She looks like she’s trying not to laugh.“Alright, I can explain, so don’t give me that look.”
Fake Dating The Hockey Alpha Chapter 52: Christmas Blues
Aria The moment I see Lucas walking toward me, I let out a breath I didn’t even realize I was holding. A few minutes ago, he rushed in just as Ethan stormed off, looking pissed as all hell. Then Lily told him everything, what Ethan said, what he did….and Lucas didn’t even think twice before stomping off to confront him. We begged him not to, but you know Lucas. He never listens when he’s angry“Thank goddess you’re—” My words get cut off as Lucas pulls me into one of those hugs that melts your bones. His arms wrap around me like I’m the only thing anchoring him to Earth, and for a second, I forget how to breathe.“Lucas... are you okay?”He doesn’t answer right away, just buries his face in my neck. “Just a second,” he mutters, his voice muffled against my skin.I don’t argue. Instead, I wrap my arms around him, taking in his familiar scent, something warm and woodsy, like cedar and home.When he finally pulls back, he brushes a strand of hair out of my face, his gray eyes softer tha
Fake Dating The Hockey Alpha Chapter 51: I Will Get Her Back
Ethan Aria’s looking at me like she’s just waiting for me to explode, her green eyes burning with a fire that’s almost impressive. Almost. Has she lost her goddamn mind? Telling me to fight her….a fucking omega? But hell, she’s not backing down. It’s like she thinks she’s the queen of this little showdown."What are you waiting for? Cold feet already?" Her voice is sharp, mocking, and her eyes don’t leave mine for a second. "You’re nothing but a piece of shit, Ethan. Just look at her." She points to Vanessa, who’s still sprawled on the floor, looking like a kicked puppy. "You shoved your girlfriend. Real classy."My eyes flick to Vanessa, and yeah, she looks embarrassed as hell. I’d almost forgotten she was there. Not my fault...she should’ve left me alone when I warned her. I don’t do clingy.Aria kneels and extends a hand to Vanessa, but Vanessa bats it away and scrambles up on her own, her face red as a damn tomato."You have no right to talk about Alpha Ethan like that," Vanessa
Fake Dating The Hockey Alpha Chapter 50: Let's Fight
Aria One minute, I’m on cloud nine…Lucas spinning me around the dance floor like I’m the damn queen of the world. The next? Some girl strolls in, a walking, talking buzzkill, and decides to ruin everything. I don’t know who the hell she is, but from the look in Lucas’s eyes, I’ve got a bad feeling about this.I let out a frustrated growl, and just as I’m about to calm down, that bastard Ethan strides over to where I’m standing.I sigh, sipping my cocktail, trying to push the irritation down. Gail, my wolf, isn’t having it, though. She’s growling in my head, pacing like she’s ready to pounce, and honestly? I’m proud of her. That’s the energy I need for this fucking prick.“Wow, you must think you’re Cinderella or something,” he says, all smug and condescending. “You think this is gonna last forever? You really think Lucas will be there to save you when we get back to the pack?”I almost choke on my drink. “Shut the fuck up, you bastard.” I set my glass down with a thunk, glaring at hi
Fake Dating The Hockey Alpha Chapter 49: You're Not My Type
Lucas I freeze, my brain short-circuiting like someone yanked the Wi-Fi router mid-download. Things were going so well…Aria was smiling, laughing, trusting me. And then Serena. Fucking Serena. She just has to show up and ruin it.“Do you know her, Lucas?” Aria’s voice cuts through my mental meltdown sharply.I glance at her. She doesn’t look impressed. At all. In fact, she looks like she’s five seconds from shoving me off this ship, and, honestly, I’d probably deserve it. My chest tightens.“She’s nobody serious,” I mutter, my eyes still glued to Serena. But Aria? She scoffs, crossing her arms, and my heart sinks like a lead balloon.“Are you sure about that, Alpha Lucas?” Serena pipes up, her voice sugary sweet but sharp enough to upset me.My fists clench by my sides as I shoot Aria a pleading look. “Give me a second, okay? I’ll be right back.”Aria doesn’t answer. Her lips press into a thin, unimpressed line, and I know I’m walking on the thinnest of ice.“Aria,” I say softly, “pl
Fake Dating The Hockey Alpha Chapter 48: Who Are You?
Aria“Come on,” he says, scooping me up bridal style. “Let’s go shower.”And let’s just say the shower is far from innocent. We end up going another round before finally cleaning up.Back in the room, wrapped in towels, I grab my ruined dress with a sigh. No way I can wear this again.A knock at the door interrupts my thoughts. Lucas answers, cracking it open just enough to take something from whoever’s outside. When he turns around, he’s holding a cloth bag.“Who was that?” I ask.“Max,” he says, handing me the bag. “I asked him to bring you a new dress.”Wow! I pull the dress out of the bag, and my jaw just about hits the floor. It’s a pink ball gown, glittering with sequins and stones, catching the light like it’s straight out of a Disney princess movie. Like, I might as well be Cinderella, except I’m not rocking a glass slippers.“This is so fucking beautiful,” I breathe, running my fingers over the fabric like it’s made of literal magic.Lucas leans casually against the wall, arm
Fake Dating The Hockey Alpha Chapter 47: Marking Each Other
Aria "Aria... if you're not ready—""I'm ready," I cut him off firmly. "I mean, it's been days since we found out we're mates. Soon it's going to hurt if we don't mark each other."The second I tell Lucas I’m ready, something changes in his eyes. His gray gaze darkens, flickering with something intense, something raw. He strokes my cheek softly, making my heart flutter even though the back of my mind is screaming with doubt. What happens if he changes his mind later? If he rejects me? I’d be wrecked…shattered.But right now, I don’t care. I want this. I want him.The sharp sting of his teeth sinking into my neck snaps me out of my thoughts. The pain is fiery, but it’s so damn sweet. A shudder tears through my body, and I feel it…this undeniable, electrifying connection. It’s like we’re tied together now, bonded in a way that’s more than just physical. Wrapping my arms and legs around him, I pull him closer, wanting more, needing more.“I’m gonna mark you now,” I whisper in a shaky vo
