My Hockey Alpha

Chapter 251: A New Life

Nina

The next morning, after spending the night in Enzo’s apartment, I woke up feeling filled with a new sense of life. Despite all of my sleep deprivation, I surprisingly jumped out of bed before my alarm even went off. Enzo found me a little while later in the kitchen, making coffee and breakfast.

“You’re up already?” Enzo asked, rubbing his eyes sleepily. “And dressed, too?”

I nodded and smiled as I plopped two pieces of toast onto a plate and began to spread butter on them. “I’m going to class,” I said.

Enzo raised his eyebrows. I knew that he was surprised that I wanted to get back to class so soon, and he immediately voiced his concerns.

“Are you sure you don’t want to rest first?” he asked. “Everything has been so hectic. I’m sure the dean and your professors will understand if you need to miss a couple more days.”

I shook my head vehemently. “Nope. I’m going to class. I just want to feel like a normal person again, and I’ve already missed too much class this semester.”

Enzo stared at me for a while, but he said nothing. Instead, he finally seemed to give up and came over to pour himself a cup of coffee. He wrapped his arms around me and planted a kiss on the top of my head as he passed, then stole a bite of my toast with a cheeky grin before pouring his coffee. It made me smile; if I just pretended that I didn’t still need to deal with the Luna at some point, and if I pretended that the Crescents weren’t planning on taking over the world along with her, then I could imagine that we were just a regular couple getting ready to start our day. Someday, I hoped that we could live with that sense of normalcy. Once all of this was over, I was certain that could happen.

“Well, just don’t burn yourself out,” Enzo finally said. “I’ll walk you to class.”

I gave him a deep, passionate kiss before I went in, ignoring the disgusted looks from other students over our blatant public display of affection, and sat down
