My Hockey Alpha

Chapter 219: Another Obstacle

Nina

Finally, I agreed to go to the werewolf realm with my friends.

But we needed to prepare first, and we had to hurry. Time was running short; there was no knowing what Selena had done by now. If her spell on Enzo was already this powerful, then I could only imagine how much more powerful it could be within this short period of time. Not only that, but if she had the Alpha King in her grasp as well, things could go south very quickly. I also couldn’t help but wonder if Richard, Enzo’s father, was being held captive too.

For right now, though, we needed to get Enzo away from her. Once we had Enzo back and we were able to break through Selena’s spell again, then he could help us save Richard and the Alpha King.

The five of us quickly ran home to gather some supplies. The sky was darkening quickly, and it would only be a matter of time before it was too dark to even traverse the forest to find the Alpha King’s mansion. None of us had ever been there before; only Luke knew vaguely where it was. The rest of us were useless when it came to navigating that place.

While Matt ran back to his dorm to pack a bag, Lori, Jessica and I ran up to our own dorm. The three of us flew into a frenzy, filling the dorm with the sounds of panicked packing and yelling; no doubt our neighbors hated us during those moments. I packed lightly, with only a change of clothes, a hunting knife, and some granola bars in case we took longer than expected. I hoped to get us in and out of there by the end of the next day at the most, but there was no knowing exactly how long it would take us. For all we knew, Selena would catch us and we would never make it home.

I came to that realization as I was zipping up my backpack.

If Selena caught us, then I would be putting all of my friends in danger.

I froze, my backpack still in my hand, as the worry washed over me. My palms began to sweat and my heart started to race, and I slowly looked up at my friends, who were currently arguing over whether to bring weapons or not.
