My Hockey Alpha

Enzo

“Come with me, Enzo,” my father said after stepping out of the portal.

I frowned, taking a step back. How did he even find me? “I’m not going anywhere until I find out where Nina is,” I said.

My father looked concerned, but said nothing about Nina. Instead, he only sighed and said, “Everything will be alright. Just come with me. Please. You’ve been summoned.”

“Summoned by who?”

“The Alpha King.”

I felt my eyes widen. The Alpha King summoned me already? Why now? “But the campus—”

“The campus will be taken care of,” my father said. “Our men are preparing to clean it up as we speak. With the Alpha King’s men, I’m confident that we’ll have the campus back to normal in no time.” He gestured then for me to follow, and I did; not because I particularly trusted wherever he was leading me to, but instead because something seemed to be telling me that this would lead me to Nina. Fio seemed to be certain of it. We walked through the woods for a few minutes in silence, which was only broken by the sound of the leaves and twigs crunching under our feet, before my father led me to another road. A black car that I didn’t recognize was waiting for us there. He opened the door and got in, then I got in behind him after a few moments of nervous hesitation.

“Ronan—” I began, thinking back to Ronan and Lisa’s plan to execute me on camera as the car started to drive away.

“I know,” he interrupted solemnly. “Your friends did well in apprehending him and the girl, and we’ve taken them both into our custody. I knew that his father would pull something like this; I just didn’t think it would be so soon. I thought that he would at least give the tournament a chance first, but I was wrong about him once again. I was naive to think he’d changed somehow.”

I still only cared about finding Nina, but if this was my link to finding her, then so be it. Even if I would have to mark the Alpha King’s daughter before I could find Nina, I would do it if it meant bringing her to safety. As we pulled up the long, winding driveway to the mansion, I felt a pit form in my stomach. The two
