My Hockey Alpha

Enzo

I woke up to the sun streaming through my window and the sound of the birds chirping outside. There was a soft smile on my face as I held the love of my life in my arms, and as I listened to her gentle breathing, I couldn’t help but bend down and kiss the dark hair on top of her head.

“Mmm… Enzo…”

Her voice was soft and gentle, like music to my ears. It made my smile widen, and I pushed myself up onto my elbow, planting a kiss on her nose. I watched her eyes flicker open below me, and she smiled up at me.

“Good morning, Selena,” I whispered.

Selena grinned. “Good morning, handsome.”

I planted another kiss on her forehead, then sat up fully and rubbed my tired eyes. Our wedding day was ticking closer, slowly but surely, and I couldn’t be more excited. This morning, we were supposed to meet with her father, the Alpha King, to discuss the mating ceremony.

“Did you sleep well?” she asked, sitting up and leaning her chin on my shoulder while her finger traced circles on my back, sending shivers down my spine.

I nodded. “I slept very well,” I said. “Although… I had a weird dream…”

“Hmm?” Selena responded, furrowing her brow. “Is everything okay?”

I fought, I only kept thinking about Selena’s beautiful face waiting for me, praying for me to come home safely. Sometimes, I got her eye color a little confused — I think it was just the stress from all of the fighting, but I sometimes pictured her as having brown eyes instead of blue eyes — and sometimes I accidentally messed up her name, thinking that she was called Nina. When I told her this after finally coming home, she only laughed and gave me a special tea that she said would help with the stress of the battle. When I drank it, I stopped making these mistakes for the most part, although I did occasionally have a strange dream here or there, or a moment where I thought that Selena was up to something sinister. I knew, however, that it was just from the fighting. I was only
