My Hockey Alpha

Chapter 103 Echoes of the Wolf

Nina

Edward left and didn’t come back for a long time. I laid on the bed, trapped there in my restraints as I waited for him to come back.

Eventually, the medicine stopped making me fade in and out of consciousness so much. I knew that that meant that Edward would return soon to give me more, and I craved it; I knew that the more I took his medicine, the closer I was to getting better.

At some point, I fell asleep from pure exhaustion and boredom rather than from the medicine. I slipped back into the dream with the wolf. It was almost as if she was waiting for me.

“Are you ready to wake up?” she asked.

“I just fell asleep.”

“Not like that,” she replied, her dark eyes fixed on me as her voice echoed all around me. “I mean, are you ready to wake up to your true nature? I can give you a little bit of my power, and you can get free. I can only give you a tiny bit, though; I’m still weak.”

I frowned and shook my head. “No,” I said. “I know you’re not real. I need to get better so I can go home, and if I keep talking to you, then I won’t get better.”

“Fine, then,” the wolf replied. “I’ll wait.”

I watched as she lowered herself down onto her belly and laid her head on her paws. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

I paced around for a while, unsure of what to do. I didn’t want to wake up from this oddly realistic dream because it only meant that I would be laying in the bed again, unable to move from the leather straps around my wrists and ankles, but at the same time I couldn’t leave this clearing — and all the while, the wolf slept.

Finally, I grew bored. I sat down in the grass across from the wolf and stared at her.
