My Hockey Alpha by Eve Above Story PDF

Chapter 0582

Enzo

Practice was just about finishing up, and the hockey team was running through one final mock scrimmage before I let them go for the day.

I was leaning against the pillar next to the rink, wearing my plain clothes today, I didn't want to be on the ice today in case there was an emergency call from Nina, which Tim understood.

But right now, instead of coaching, I was zoning out. My hand kept drifting to my phone to check on a call from Nina, but there was none. She should have landed by now, it was only a few hours by plane back to Mountainview. In fact, she should have been in the supernatural realm by now.

I figured, though, that maybe she was just caught up with family. She was going to stay with her parents and brother, after all; maybe they were in a frenzy because she told them about the fortune teller, or maybe they were just sharing a family meal and she hadn't had a chance to look at her phone yet.

However, it didn't fully ease the anxiety inside of me. My wife was in another realm entirely, literally worlds away from me, and I hadn't heard from her. For all I knew, something horrible was going down right now, and I had no way of knowing unless she called me.

Just as I was about to give in and call her, Mila suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She had a determined look in her eyes, her dark hair pulled back into a tight bun.

"Enzo, there you are," she said, her voice urgent. "Do you have a moment? I could really use your help with something.

I pocketed my phone, temporarily setting aside my worries about Nina. "Sure, Mila. What do you need?" Mila motioned toward a nearby room filled with heavy medical equipment. "I'm preparing for the upcoming physical exams, and I need to move some of this equipment around. It's too heavy for me to handle on my own."

I took a glance back at the hockey team, who were still engaged in their scrimmage. "I don't know if I should just walk away," I said, gesturing over my shoulder toward them with my thumb. "Practice isn't over for another twenty minutes."

"Please?" Mila asked, almost begging. "It won't take long. I promise. Ten minutes, max."
