My Hockey Alpha

Nina

We watched for an hour through that window with bated breath, almost unblinking as we waited to see what would happen when the Crescents and the rogues finally came out. No one said a word that entire time, too alert and frightened that the rogues and the Crescents would come out of that building and come to ours next. At one point, I felt Enzo’s arm slide protectively around my shoulders, and I didn’t resist. I leaned into him, letting him support me after the hell we’d been through.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the first Crescent came strutting out of Enzo’s dorm building. We watched as she stood on the quad, looking all around while the other Crescents and the rogues slowly filed out. Then, one of the other Crescents came up to her; they spoke for a few moments before seemingly coming to an agreement and, thankfully, led the group in another direction entirely.

“Oh, thank god,” Jessica whimpered as she clung to Lori for dear life. “Can we sleep now?”

Matt nodded. “I think so,” he said. “They’re not gonna come back here again tonight, not with dawn coming soon.”

“I can keep watch,” Enzo said, but Matt stopped him and shook his head.

“Get some rest,” Matt insisted, then looked over at me. “You, too, Nina. Both of you.”

I glanced up at Enzo. His jaw was clenched hard, but his arm remained around my shoulders. Finally, he nodded and let me lead him to my room.

“Um… Do you need to shower?” I asked, to which Enzo surprisingly shook his head. He kept his eyes glued on the window, as though he expected a Crescent to come flying through it at any moment. “Well… I need a shower,” I said finally, looking down at my filthy, bloody clothes. “I’ll be right back.”

I brought my hand up to touch his cheek and he nuzzled gently into my palm.
