Chapter 86: The Whole Truth

Enzo

When Nina first suggested that I tell my team about my true nature, I thought she was utterly insane.

But as I lay awake that night, staring at the ceiling and trying to figure out how I was going to both explain Lisa’s sudden appearance as well as keep her from shifting in front of everyone or telling the truth herself, I realized that Nina was right.

It had been years since I started attending Mountainview University, and equally as long since I had started being the hockey captain. I had known most of my teammates for that entire time, and considered many of them to be my closest friends… And now, with Justin gone because of his werewolf curse, I knew it was only right to tell them.

I just hoped that they would believe me, and that I could trust them not to tell a soul about this.

I woke up first thing in the morning, just after dawn. Lisa was still soundly asleep under the dazing spell I had put on her, and would remain asleep for the next few hours which meant that I had enough time to figure out the best way to tell my team about werewolves.

By the time I got dressed and headed downstairs, Jason and his team were already awake and were getting ready to leave.

Jason smiled when he saw me.” Morning,” he said with a friendly smile. “Enzo, can I talk to you outside?”

I nodded and followed the Crescent hockey captain out to the back deck, watching as he closed the sliding door behind us so we could speak privately He came over when he was done and leaned on the railing, looking at the ground for a moment before looking back at me.
