Chapter 82: Friends in unlikely Places

I woke up early the next morning with a

yawn as the sunlight streamed in through the open window, and nuzzled down into the warm arms around me, only for my eyes to shoot open and for me to jump out of bed. I didn’t

remember going to sleep with Enzo the night before, but it seemed that we had slept together.

As I looked down at myself, I realized that I was still fully clothed and began to remember that I had asked Enzo to keep me company the night before. We had fallen asleep far apart on the bed, not touching one another, but must have rolled closer in the night.

Enzo was still sound asleep, even snoring lightly, so I decided to take my opportunity to sneak out of the room and go to my own room to get ready for the day.

“Alright, everyone. This is just the first game out of six in this tournament I know we’re missing Justin, but you guys have all been training really hard lately and I’m proud of you. This team thought they could throw us off our game, but they couldn’t be more wrong. Let’s get out there and start this tournament off on a high note!”

Enzo’s short speech in the locker room right before the hockey match was met with whoops and hollers from the team members. I stood on the sidelines, avoiding Enzo’s gaze, as they began to file out into the arena. A surprisingly small crowd had gathered in the stands, I’d expected this team to have lots of fans since Enzo said that they were well-known, but as I walked out to the bleachers and noticed all of the empty spots, I realized that he was wrong.

What was even more surprising was how poorly the other team performed.Enzo had told me all of the ins and outs of the Half-Moon Tournament, wasn’t each team supposed to have a werewolf captain? Why was this captain. performing so poorly?

Enzo and his teammates quickly defeated the other team, resulting in at short game. I watched as the other team left on their side of the rink at the end, looking utterly exhausted.
