My Hockey Alpha

Chapter 273: The Strangers

Nina

The next morning, I somehow managed to get up early with Enzo to go to training despite the fact that I had been up studying so late the night before. After getting dressed and eating breakfast, we headed across campus to the athletic fields. A light snow had fallen once again and blanketed the field in a thin layer of white powder, but lately the recruits had been in much better spirits now that they had learned how to channel their wolves. In fact, when Enzo and I walked up to the recruits, a few of them were running around in their wolf forms and playing in the snow. I stifled a laugh as I watched them frantically look up and shift back, as though it was against the rules to be in their wolf forms.

“You guys can actually stay in your wolf forms,” Enzo said to the group as we approached. “You’re gonna be in your wolf forms for some agility training today.”

The recruits erupted into a chorus of excited cheers. It made me laugh to see how happy everyone was to be werewolves; it also made me wonder how many people would actually take the antidote once all of the fighting was over, if any of them even did. I couldn’t help but wonder, however, if it was irresponsible to create so many new werewolves so quickly. In a way, we were doing something very similar to the Crescents by turning more people into werewolves; although at least this was voluntary.

Enzo began his training session. He was much more empathetic and easy-going now, although he was still firm and commanding. I enjoyed watching him like that, however. Seeing him act as an Alpha turned me on, and as I watched him work with the recruits and saw the beads of sweat from running back and forth beginning to drip down the back of his muscular neck, I started to fantasize about him.

Lately, the sex between us had been almost nonstop. It felt as though every free moment we had alone together, we were spending it hooking up. And it was only getting better, too. As I sat and watched him, I remembered how he had dominated me first thing that morning, before the sun even rose. Just thinking about it made me wet, and I decided then and there that I was going to drag him off to the locker rooms after training later.

“Earth to Nina.”

A familiar voice came from behind me, breaking me out of my lustful fantasy. I felt my cheeks go red as I looked up to see Luke standing there, and hoped that he just thought that my red face was from the cold.

“Hey, Luke,” I said, clearing my throat and trying to quell the tingling in my panties. “Need something?”

“Did you not hear me just now?” Luke asked. I shook my head, and he sighed. “There’s a group of strangers that just came into town. They’re werewolves, but I don’t think they’re Crescents. And they keep saying that they know you.”
