My Hockey Alpha

“If you’re only going to get in the way with that, then… I’ll have to kill you, too.”

As James spoke, his voice was dark and sinister. He slowly backed me into a corner, leaving me nowhere to go. I felt a slight chuckle escape my lips, wondering if he was just joking… But he wasn’t. As I looked into James’ dark, grim face, I knew now that he was being one hundred percent serious, and suddenly the knot in my throat grew so large I could hardly breathe.

“J-James…” I stammered, pressing my back up against the wall, “…This isn’t you. I know you don’t want to hurt me.”

“You’re right,” he responded in a low, even voice. “But you’re leaving me no choice. I can’t let you leave here if you’re just planning on helping those dirty, disgusting monsters.”

“I-I won’t do anything,” I pleaded. “Please. I’m on your side.”

James chuckled. “I’m not stupid, Nina. I know you’re full of shit. Enzo sent you here, didn’t he? Are you his little minion?”

As he spoke, his voice hissed through his teeth and his hand shot out. He grabbed my wrist tightly, pinning it against the wall and making me cry out in unexpected pain.

“James!” I said as I wriggled beneath his grip. “Enzo didn’t send me. I swear. You can trust me.”

He still didn’t believe me. His grip only tightened around my wrist while his other hand worked its way up to my throat. I tried to kick him as I thrashed to get free, but he was suddenly much stronger than I ever imagined and I felt so weak beneath his touch. Where was my wolf’s strength when I needed her? Ever since I met Selena, I couldn’t feel my wolf’s presence at all.
