My Hockey Alpha

Chapter 265: New Recruits

As we walked back to town, it seemed that what Luke and the others had said was true after all. All of the rogues had left when their leader howled, and thankfully, not much damage was done. People seemed shaken up, but other than that, no one was severely injured.

“If anyone needs medical attention, come to the infirmary,” I said, addressing the group of townspeople that still remained at our original meeting point. “I’ll help anyone who needs it. The town is safe for now, though, so you can rest easy tonight.”

“What if they come back?” a middle-aged woman asked, her voice shaking slightly as she held on tightly to her husband’s arm. “They could come back at any point.”

“If they come back, we’ll be prepared,” Enzo said, stepping in. “The hockey team will be patrolling the perimeter of the town, and we have people posted in various places to watch for any returning rogues. For now, it looks like they ran off to regroup, and they probably won’t be back anytime soon.”

Unfortunately, however, it seemed as though the townspeople didn’t believe Enzo. I didn’t blame them, either. The rogues were unpredictable, and whatever tactics they used earlier to sneak past our defenses were unlike anything that I had seen before. It was true that they could come back at any point, and with so few werewolves in town to fight, we wouldn’t stand much of a chance if the rogues returned in greater numbers.

As we walked back to campus, I was silent. I kept trying to think of ways that we could prepare, because the rogues were bound to come back. And until we figured out how to stop both the Luna and the Crescents entirely, which very well could take a long time, we needed to know that our town was being protected in the meantime. At the end of the day, we simply didn’t have enough werewolves to defend ourselves.

However, I suddenly had an idea. As we were crossing the athletic field to head back to the infirmary, I suddenly stopped and whirled around to face Enzo and the others.

“I have an idea,” I said. “It’s crazy, but it would help us stand a chance against the Luna and the Crescents.”
