My Hockey Alpha

Chapter 252: A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way

Enzo

As if I wasn’t already shocked enough by Nina’s sudden high energy and motivation, she then told the rest of us about her plans to help Selena get enrolled in some classes.

At first, I had to admit that I was pretty angry by this decision. I wished that she had mentioned it to me ahead of time; Selena had, after all, made our lives a living hell for weeks. She had brainwashed me, poisoned my father, tried to kill me, and tried to keep Nina as a prisoner.

But, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that Selena really was just the Luna’s puppet after all. She was a frightened little girl who was being manipulated by someone who was far worse, and although it didn’t absolve her of her crimes, it did help me understand why she did what she did a little bit better. And besides: we needed Selena’s cooperation if we were going to take down the Luna. Selena was the only one who knew about the Luna’s real plans. The Alpha King was stuck in the Luna’s grasp, and it would only be a matter of time before she accomplished her goal of cleansing the earth of all humans. In fact, I was already fairly certain that she was working with the Crescents all along and that her plan was already underway.

So, when Nina showed her kind hearted yet brilliant nature and decided to let Selena enroll in school here, I finally had to admit that it was a good idea.

After all, I couldn’t crush Nina’s spirit. Her kind heartedness was one of the biggest things that I loved about her, and I didn’t want that light to go out. If she was so certain that her plan would make Selena join our side, then I was willing to support her until the very end. I loved her, and soon, she would be my mate.

“I hope it’s going okay in there,” Luke said, subtly peering in through the infirmary window. I followed his gaze to see that Selena was now sitting up and glaring at Nina. Nina was standing in front of her with her arms folded across her chest. She looked confident, which made me confident.

“I’m sure it’ll be fine,” I said. “Selena did enjoy being a student here. And who knows; maybe this really will make her trust us a bit more.”

Matt stared at me for a moment with a dark look on his face before speaking. “After everything she did, are you really sure that we even want her help?”
