My Hockey Alpha Chapter 143

No Way Out

Nina

“No,” Enzo said soberly. “I know that now. He was talking about winning a battle.”

A knot formed in the very depths of my stomach. I should have known; of course Ronan was still after me. But this entire attack couldn’t possibly be completely centered around me, right? I lowered my head and kept walking, biting my lip as I thought about the possibilities.

“Is this all my fault, then?” I asked quietly as we walked.

Enzo stopped suddenly and grabbed me by my shoulders, turning me so that I was facing him. My skin raised into goosebumps at his touch, sending a slight chill down my spine. “Of course not,” he said softly. “Ultimately, this is between the Fullmoons and the Crescents. Although, I do think that he saw this distraction as the perfect opportunity to try and kidnap you, but I won’t let that happen. I promise.”

“What if something happens and you can’t protect me?” I whispered. “What if Ronan takes me?” I was afraid, more afraid now than I had ever been in my life. Not only was my campus, my home, in peril, but so was my life. Not just my life, but my friends’ lives. For all I knew, Lori and Jessica, James and Matt, Luke and Justin… For all I knew, they were all dead or changed forever now. Even if we did come out of this victorious and Tiffany’s antidote was able to save everyone, the scars were still there. The rogue that Enzo killed to protect me was still dead. And, without a doubt, Ronan would get away.

If I gave myself up, would my friends be safe? Could things go back to normal for them if I was no longer in the picture?

I felt a tear roll down my cheek. Enzo sighed and gently pulled me closer, wrapping his strong arms around me. His warmth emanated throughout my body, and for the briefest of moments, I felt genuinely safe. As long as Enzo was with me, I knew that everything would be okay. In that moment, the looming arranged marriage no longer existed, and as his scent filled my senses, I knew that we would get through this.
