My Hockey Alpha

Nina

The sound of the rogues echoed closer. Enzo gave me one final shove up the ladder; I had no choice. I climbed up the rest of the way and crawled out onto the forest floor, sobbing as Enzo reached up and yanked the hatch shut behind me. The last thing I heard as the hatch shut was the sound of the rogues advancing on Enzo and the low, deep growl that rumbled in his throat as he shifted.

That sound was immediately replaced by the sound of frightened gasps, shrieks, and running footsteps through the woods.

I looked up to see that the students had scattered, because we were surrounded.

Ronan and Lisa stood in front of me. On either side, they were flanked by their werewolf minions in their wolf forms; Ronan’s hockey team.

“Hello, Nina,” Ronan said with a grin, approaching me.

Suddenly, Tiffany jumped in front of me, arms outstretched. “You stay away from her,” she snarled protectively.

Ronan merely rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers. In the blink of an eye, two werewolves pounced on Tiffany. I watched in horror as she was knocked to the side. My view of her was blocked, but I heard a scream, a sickening crunch, and then silence.

There wasn’t even enough time for a sob to escape my throat before Ronan stormed toward me and grabbed me by my arm, yanking me to my feet.

“Why are you doing this?” I begged. Meanwhile, Lisa only stood behind him with a grim smirk on her face. “Lisa, you knew Tiffany!” I screamed, struggling against Ronan’s grip to no avail. “She was your school doctor! How could you let this happen?!”

Lisa didn’t answer.

I managed to wrench myself free somehow and sprinted back toward the hatch, lunging for it with the hopes of opening it so Enzo could at least see that something was wrong, but I suddenly felt something slam into my back and throw me to the ground. Ronan grumbled something behind me that I couldn’t quite make out, and then I felt him pick me up and throw me over his shoulder. He began to walk with Lisa

She was such a pretty girl, but… Not my type, as you well know.” He paused, then gestured to the hockey player again. The hockey player released his grip on the dean and allowed her to run over to me. I immediately reached out and untied her wrists, then pulled the gag out of her mouth.
