My Hockey Alpha

Chapter 31: Pity Party

Nina

I knew sleeping with Enzo again would have been a mistake. He didn’t even care about me enough to stay for the entire duration. Clearly he got what he wanted and realized that I wasn’t worth his time, so he bailed. When I got dressed and left the cabin, I didn’t see him anywhere at the party; he must have run off.

I jumped down the stairs and started to walk back toward the party so I could find Jessica and Lori and tell them that I was going home, but stopped when I overheard two of Lisa’s friends talking.

“Have you seen Lisa?” one said.

“Yeah,” the other replied. “She walked into the woods a little while ago. I just saw Enzo go that way, too.”

“Ooh!” the first girl said excitedly. “Do you think they’re getting back together?”

The second girl giggled. “Obviously. Have you seen the way he’s been looking at her lately? Clearly he regrets messing around with that weirdo Nina and realizes that he’ll never do any better than Lisa.”

I didn’t want to stick around to hear any more as tears started to well up in my eyes. I just wanted to go home.

I ran down the trail that led back to campus. I kept running until I could no longer see or hear the people at the cabins. The waning moon was just a crescent in the sky, no longer illuminating the forest like it did the other night, so I pulled out my phone and turned on the flashlight so I could see.

Eventually, I heard footsteps behind me and whipped my flashlight around to see Luke approaching.

“I figured you’d follow me,” I said annoyedly, turning back in the direction I was going and continuing to walk.

“I couldn’t let you walk through the woods alone,” he replied. “There could be-”

“Werewolves, I know,” I interrupted.

Luke was silent for a moment before speaking again. “Not just werewolves. Other shifters, too.”
