My Hockey Alpha Chapter 158

Dangerous Indifference

I hardly even had time to process what had just happened before the portal closed and Selena suddenly grabbed my arm, yanking me out of my stupor as she opened another portal nearby.

“Come on,” she snarled as her nails dug into the skin of my arm. I felt so numb at this point that I couldn’t even feel it. “Let’s go. It’s almost time for dinner and you’re filthy.”

I couldn’t say a word as we stepped through the new portal she opened and wound up back in my room at the mansion. It felt as though the world was spinning around me. My mind scrambled already to think of ways that I could get back to Nina, but without the knowledge of how to open a portal on my own, I would be stuck here until I could find someone who knew how. At the very least, I took some solace in the fact that Nina was smart and strong and that she could take care of herself until either the Fullmoons or I came to her rescue.

“Here,” Selena said, pulling me over to the bathroom and turning on the faucet to fill up the tub. Then, her eyes darkened into a sultry expression and she smirked up at me. “Do you need some help bathing?”

“Um— No, thanks,” I said. I really wanted to yell at her to get the hell away from me and that I’d never want her to touch my naked body, but I knew that it would only make matters worse. If I wanted to get back to Nina, I would have to keep things friendly with Selena and make her believe that I wasn’t going to leave; if she didn’t believe me, I was certain that she would find a way to trap me here, being as powerful and as rich as she was.

Selena frowned. “Fine,” she said with a huff, turning on her heel and storming off toward the door. “Dinner is in an hour. If you’re not presentable by then, you’re going to be in trouble… So I’d advise hurrying up with your bath. There are clean clothes in the closet, and you can throw the ones you’re wearing away, because they’re disgusting.”

“Alright,” I said, restraining the urge to snap at her once more. “Thanks. I’ll see you in an hour.”
