I groaned and looked around, noticing now that the rest of the hockey team was also bent over me and looking equally as worried. It took a few moments for my head to clear, but then I remembered that I had passed out during the Claiming ceremony.

Enzo helped me up. I looked around at everyone, then searched for Cora’s presence inside of me to ask her if she managed to do it — but she was asleep. It seemed that the ceremony drained her energy, too.

Suddenly, one of the teammates, Bryce, doubled over. The rest of the team huddled around him in shock.

“Bryce, are you okay?” Enzo asked, furrowing his brow and going over to Bryce. I watched as Enzo put his hand on his teammate’s back with concern drawn across his face, and for a moment, I forgot that I was supposed to be angry with him for breaking my heart just a few days ago.
