My Hockey Alpha

Chapter 259: The Waiting Game

Nina

After our shared passion in the shower, Enzo and I quickly dried off and got dressed. In my flustered state, I almost forgot that I had hidden vials of the antidote in my jacket; it wasn’t until I heard them clinking against each other from my haste that I realized that I had almost given myself away, and slower down so as not to reveal my plan to Enzo; if he found out, he would surely not let me go through with the plan. Thankfully, he didn’t notice the sound of the vials clinking together.

Something about having to take on the role of Alpha made Enzo more dominant in the shower, but I loved every moment of it. After we got dressed, however, he pulled me close and planted a kiss on my forehead.

“I hope you liked that,” he whispered. “I hope it wasn’t too much.”

I shook my head and blushed deeply. “I… I think I like that side of you,” I admitted. Since I had only ever had sex with Enzo, my experiences weren’t varied. It made me happy that we could try new things together, and I hoped that I would get to see more of this side of him. Something about it made my wolf react strongly too, and as we met up with our friends and made our way to the edge of town to wait for the rogues, I felt her bristling with excitement inside of me.

“Took you guys long enough,” Matt said as we made our way to the edge of town. “Everything okay?”

Enzo nodded. I stared down at the ground to hide the fact that my face was turning red again, but when I looked up, I saw Lori giving me a knowing glance with a smirk on her face.

We arrived at the edge of town, where the rest of the hockey team was waiting. As we approached, I noticed that there were a lot of other people there as well. Bryce, from the hockey team, jogged up to us.

“A bunch of the townspeople want to fight,” he said. “We told them they could hide in the tunnels, but they insisted.”

I glanced over at Bryce’s shoulder at the crowd of people who had gathered. Pickup trucks lined the entrance of the town like a barricade, and dozens of people — men and women — with shotguns and other homemade weapons patrolled the road. As I looked at the crowd, I instantly recognized a familiar pickup truck.

“It’s alright,” Enzo said to Bryce. “We could use the— Nina, where are you going?”
