My Hockey Alpha

Nina

The infirmary was dimly lit and quiet when I woke up. It took a few long moments for my eyes to adjust before I finally realized where I was and what had happened. My mind felt foggy, although not nearly as foggy as it did when Edward gave me my medicine.

“Nina,” Enzo said softly, squeezing my hand. I looked up at him, a smile twitching at my lips, but as I opened my mouth to speak I quickly realized that my voice was too hoarse to get a word out.

“It’s okay,” he said. “You don’t have to talk. Tiffany is here and she’ll take care of you.”

I nodded weakly before looking up to see Tiffany approaching from behind Enzo. Her eyebrows were knit together with worry.

“Hey there,” she said softly. “I’m sorry this happened to you. I promise we’ll find Edward and bring him to justice… Enzo was just filling me in on everything.”

I looked over at Enzo once more, my own brows knit together now as I wondered if he had told her about werewolves. Realizing this, Enzo nodded. “Tiffany knows about werewolves. She has all along, apparently.”

“I’ll tell you all about it when you’re feeling a bit better. For now, just get some rest, okay? Your body is healing at an accelerated rate, so you’ll be right as rain in no time.”

I wasn’t sure exactly what Tiffany meant; I knew I had a wolf now, but she still hadn’t emerged completely, and I wasn’t sure if she ever would after all of the poison Edward gave me. But Tiffany was right — now was not the time for questions. I had to rest.

By now, I was already feeling well enough to walk on my own, and was able to let go of their arms — but I still chose to hold Enzo’s arm as we walked, just because I needed to feel his warmth. “The Crescents wanted to

Eventually, the hockey club began to split up as the members of each faction felt loyalty toward the two boys who were
