My Hockey Alpha Chapter 179

Through the Fog

Enzo

I knew I shouldn’t have hidden so close to Selena. She saw me instantly when she walked out of the witch’s hut, and her eyes fixed on me in the darkness like a hawk.

“Enzo?” she called out, frowning. “Is that you?”

There was no way that I could have gotten away at that point; even if I did get away, she would have only strengthened her security around my father — assuming he was still alive — and I would never be able to find him if I didn’t play into her little game. So, with a quiet sigh, I stood and came out from behind the bushes.

“Hello, Selena,” I said. “Didn’t think you’d see me again, huh?”

Selena’s eyes were wide, but a smile spread across her face in an almost childlike way. “You came back for me?” she asked, twirling a bit of hair around her finger. From behind her, the witch peered out of her hut at me with a confused expression on her face. I made sure to burn her face into my memory so I could find her later when I needed her to lift Nina’s curse.

“Of course I did,” I said. “I made a promise, didn’t I?”

“I… I thought you left to go be with her,” she replied, her voice low and almost bitter. “I was so mad at you.”

Of course I left Selena to be with Nina. I would never want to be with Selena; she was batshit crazy. But I couldn’t let her know that. I needed her to think that I was madly in love with her so that I could find my father and tell the Alpha King about Nina.

“Selena,” I lied, walking up to her and cupping her cheek with my hand, “I love you. Didn’t I tell you that already? I only left because I was worried about my friends.”

“Oh, Enzo…” she said in a sing-song voice. “I’m so glad you came back. We can
