My Hockey Alpha novel Chapter 182

Enzo

After Selena touched me, I blacked out. I didn’t wake up again until much later, when the sun was shining through my window.

My head was still stuck in a thick fog as it reeled dizzily. Once the dizziness began to pass, I groaned and pushed myself up to a seated position as I took in my surroundings; slowly, I began to recognize the room I was in now as the bedroom I had been given the last time I was at the Alpha King’s mansion. There was a pounding in my head, however, leaving me wondering how I even got in this room. The last thing I remembered was leaving the Alpha King’s study with Selena. I remembered that my father had been acting strange, as though he didn’t even know how or why I left and had no recollection of helping me escape, and when I tried to say something about it, Selena must have used some sort of spell on me to keep me from speaking.

Suddenly, as I slowly came to my senses, I began to notice something shifting beside me in the bed. I slowly turned my head, my eyes widening. Selena was lying next to me.

How did she get here? I didn’t remember anything after she touched my forehead with her thumb, right after we left the Alpha King’s study…

Almost as though she hadn’t even been sleeping at all, her eyes suddenly shot open and looked straight at me. A lazy smile spread across her face and she stretched, showing off her midriff in her shirt, and rolled over onto her side to look at me.

“Good morning, handsome,” she cooed, her voice low and thick like molasses. “That was amazing.”

I frowned as I tried to rack my brain. “What are you talking about?” I asked, feeling myself begin to panic ever so slightly despite how hard I tried to keep myself calm. “What was amazing?”

Selena chuckled. “Well, last night, of course!” she replied with a wry chuckle. “Don’t you remember, silly? I thought you wanted to wait until marriage… What changed your mind?”

My eyes widened. No… I couldn’t have had sex with Selena. I didn’t remember anything from the night before. I quickly jumped up and backed away from the bed, shaking my head vigorously. “We didn’t have sex,” I said, feeling my heart begin to race and my stomach start to turn. “We couldn’t have.”

Selena’s smile turned into a pout. She pushed her lower lip out like a child and batted her eyelashes. “You… You really don’t remember?” she said, her voice quivering theatrically. “It was our first time. I thought it was special…”

I paused. I couldn’t believe that I would have been unfaithful to Nina. No… I simply wouldn’t believe it. But I also couldn’t alert Selena to anything being awry, so once again, I had to play into her game. I furrowed my brow as though I was thinking, then forced a smile and approached the bed again.

“You know what?” I said, sitting on the edge of the bed. “I do remember. I’m sorry… I’m just tired.”

Selena grinned once more and sat up. She was wearing a tight little shirt and shorts that practically looked like underwear, and I hated to say it, but she looked… hot. In fact, the longer I looked at her, the less Nina’s face showed clearly in my mind.
