My Hockey Alpha by Eve Above Story PDF

Chapter 0354 Enzo ha At the last moment, Nina shoved me through the portal before I had the chance to try to stay behind. I knew, logically, that Selena was completely and utterly lying when she said that she would let my father and my friends live if I went with her. But my judgment was so clouded from the grief of my father’s imminent death that I wasn’t thinking straight, and if it weren't for Nina’s quick thinking, I would have made the worst decision of my life.

But at the same time, for the briefest of moments, I resented her for that. I wished that I could have tried, even if it failed. Even then, however, I loved her

all the same, and I knew that she did the right thing in pushing me through that portal. = My father and I didn’t always get along, especially after my mother died years before. That didn’t mean, however, that I didn’t love him. In fact, quite the opposite was true: I loved my father dearly. I just wished that had realized that before it was too late.

And now, I was out of time.

I fell to the ground on the other side of the portal along with my friends. Nina came through just seconds after me and fell down to the ground beside me, panting heavily. The force of our fall caused me to drop my father, and when I came to my senses on the forest floor, I looked up to see him lying on the ground a few feet away. His body was

so frail and limp, and I instantly felt panic rise up in my throat as I wondered if the impact was enough to kill him. I scrambled over to him on my hands and knees and grabbed his shoulder, rolling him onto his back.

His eyes were open and blinking, and he was breathing. But he wouldn't be for long.

I scooped my father up into my lap as he stared up at me. I had always heard that people would often have moments of lucidity right before death, almost as though death was giving them the chance to say goodbye. Someone who could barely breathe and was basically a living corpse just moments earlier could suddenly sit up and have a full conversation with their loved ones.

My father was too weak to sit up, but I knew that he was fully lucid as he looked up at me.

“Enzo,” he said quietly, his voice sounding cracked and dry. “You're a good kid. I'm sorry I never told you that sooner.” “It’s okay, dad,” I replied, feeling the pit of dread in my stomach open even wider. Around me, my friends were groaning and coming to their senses. I could hear Matt, Lori, and Jessica speak in confused, but hushed, tones.

Suddenly, my father’s voice sputtered, and he coughed. A bit of spit foamed at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes rolled back for a moment. I knew that he wasn’t going to last for much longer, and
