My Hockey Alpha Chapter 221: Learning Curve

I felt utterly hopeless. What was I supposed to do? Selena put some sort of hex on Luke to keep him from opening a portal, which was not only shocking as I wasn’t even sure how she knew that he was coming, but the rest of us also couldn’t open a portal.

“We’ll try again tomorrow, Nina,” Luke said gently. He reached out to squeeze my shoulder, but I flinched away. I was too angry for comfort, not at him, but at Selena.
