My Hockey Alpha

Chapter 222: High Speed Chase

Enzo

Even though my wolf woke up finally, I still didn’t have the strength to shift just yet. Thankfully, however, I was able to run fast, and my night vision was better than it was just minutes before. As I ran through the forest, I didn’t know exactly where I was going; all I knew was that I needed to get away before Selena and the witch did something horrible.

I still couldn’t fathom exactly what was going on. I knew that Selena put some sort of spell on me, but I didn’t know what it was or why she did it. Whatever it was, her intentions were extremely dark and sinister. I knew that much.

However, I didn’t have the time to stop and think about any of what was going on. Selena and the witch were both hot on my heels. They ran at inhuman speeds through the woods; even the witch, who looked old and crippled, ran like a bolt of lightning. Every time I glanced over my shoulders, I could see them getting closer and closer. All I could do was urge my legs to push me faster through the forest and hope that they wouldn’t catch me, because I knew that they would kill me if they did.

“Come back here, Enzo!” I heard Selena shout behind me. “I promise I won’t hurt you too badly! It’ll just be a little cut, and then it will all be over!”

I cursed under my breath at Selena’s words, and pushed myself faster. I leaped over rocks and tree roots, dodged around trees and bushes, and crashed through the underbrush. I didn’t care that thorns and branches were scratching up my skin and causing me to bleed. The only thing that was important was getting Selena and the witch off of my trail. They had to give up soon, once they realized that I wouldn’t stop… Right?

But they didn’t stop.

At one point, I heard Selena’s footsteps approaching too close for comfort, and I swore that I even felt her hand brush the back of my neck. I dodged out of the way at the last second before she could catch me, my heart racing a mile a minute.
