My Hockey Alpha

Enzo

After dinner and my brief conversation with my father, I decided to go back to my room for the remainder of the night where I could plan out my escape in peace. I spent some time pacing back and forth in my dark room, wondering how I could get out of this mansion and find someone who could open a portal for me.

I wasn’t in my room for long, however, when I heard a knock on the door. Someone tried the handle before I could even answer, but it was locked. Then, suddenly, I heard a key slide into the door. The door came unlocked and opened, revealing Selena standing there.

She was still in her red dress with her hair perfectly styled. Without a word, she stormed across the room and shoved me down on the bed, taking me by surprise, then lifted her skirt and climbed on top of me. I hardly had any time to even react before she began kissing me roughly.

“You’re so hot when you stand up to my daddy like that,” she moaned, kissing my ear and my neck. “I love a man who has so much self confidence.”

Gulping, I gently pushed Selena off of me and wriggled away from her, causing her to frown.

“What’s wrong?” she asked, pushing her lower lip out in a pout. “You’re not seriously still thinking about her, are you?”

Truthfully, of course I was only thinking about Nina… But I shook my head and sat up, taking Selena’s hand in mine. “Of course not,” I lied. “I promised I would love you… I’m just not ready quite yet to take things further.”

Selena was silent for a moment, glowering at me. “You’re saving yourself until marriage?” she asked.

I nodded. “Yes.” Another lie.

Maybe I could even find Luke and we could go home together. I was confident that he was still alive, somehow, and decided that I would

When I got a little ways away from the mansion, I would shift so I could run faster. But for now, I couldn’t shift until I was certain no one would see me. If anyone saw me shifting, it would certainly raise the

My eyes widened in surprise; why was he here? Was he trying to help me hide, or was he trying to stop me from escaping? Either way, we both stayed silent as the guard approached. Thankfully, the guard turned down another hallway before crossing our path and we both let out a sigh of relief. My father released his grip on me and I stumbled away from
