My Hockey Alpha

Chapter 218: The Sacrificial Lamb

Enzo

My brain felt so foggy. No matter how hard I tried, it almost felt as though my eyes were constantly out of focus, like I was walking through a thick mist that was obstructing everything in front of me. That strange girl that looked almost exactly like Selena came running out of the woods, and she tackled Selena, sending her to the ground. They grappled there for a few moments in a shrieking, clawing heap while I stood in complete and utter shock, before I finally came to my senses and pulled her off of Selena.

The girl kept saying strange things. She kept talking as though we knew each other, but I didn’t know her. I didn’t even know where I was. It felt like there was something at the very back of my mind that thought that maybe she was familiar, and that maybe I did know her somehow, but that didn’t make any sense.

And so, when Selena opened a portal and took my hand, I went along with her.

When we stepped out on the other side, we weren’t far from the Alpha King’s mansion. Selena seemed angry, and for good reason; that girl had muddied Selena’s clothes and wrecked her perfect hair during their fight, and I knew that Selena didn’t like getting dirty. But there was something else that I noticed, too, as she took me by the hand and pulled me toward the mansion. She kept muttering to herself about the other girl.

“That bitch… Thinks she can pull a fast one on me… I’m his mate, not her.”

I frowned as I listened to Selena. I thought back to what Selena had told the other girl. She had said “See? He doesn’t even remember you!”

It was as if Selena knew the girl, but I didn’t know her for some reason. How could this be? I was so confused.

I saw a flash of something through the window that caught my eye and broke me out of my train of thought. I bolted over to the window to look out, and I caught a glimpse of what looked like Selena running across the road in a cloak. She was fast, like a bolt of lightning, and she looked over her shoulder as though she was

I cursed under my breath as I paced the room, trying to think of a way to escape. My eyes fell on the window once again, and I tried to lift the window frame. It slid up easily; in Selena’s haste, she hadn’t blocked
