My Hockey Alpha novel Chapter 247

Nina

Selena groaned miserably as she sat on the forest floor with her back propped up against a tree. Enzo and I threw each other a concerned glance before both of us stared down at her. I didn’t see any other injuries aside from where she hit her head when the Luna pushed her, and my gut told me that she was exaggerating her pain. Whatever the Luna was doing to us earlier, I realized now that we were safe and free of pain, was purely psychological. Theoretically, Selena shouldn’t have any pain other than what was in her head, but the way that she kept rubbing and wincing all over her body made me think otherwise.

I still didn’t know exactly why she came along with us, but as my wolf slowly returned to consciousness after her long coma, she explained it to me; and my suspicions about the twin bond were right.

“She must have tagged along when you two teleported,” Cora explained. “I didn’t do it on purpose. It was because of your twin bond. Although…”

“It’s better this way,” I responded mentally as I continued to stare down at my whining twin sister. “It’s better if she’s here, with me, where the Luna can’t kill her and thus kill both of us.”

Suddenly, however, Selena seemed to be out of control of her maturity and decided that she was too angry to sit around any longer. She suddenly scrambled to her feet and tried to make a run for it, causing Enzo and I to just stare after her incredulously for a moment as she tried to run through the dark forest. With a sigh, Enzo walked after her — she wasn’t very fast as a human — and grabbed her shoulder, causing her to scream.

“Get away from me!” she shrieked, wrenching her shoulder away from Enzo. “Murderer!

Traitor!”

“Calm down!” Enzo replied, holding his hands up in surrender. “No one is trying to hurt you. You’re going to hurt yourself, though, if you keep acting like this with that head injury.”

“Don’t tell me what to do or how to react,” Selena snarled, jabbing her finger into Enzo’s chest. “I’ll scream if I want to!” Selena then opened her mouth to scream, but before she could, Enzo sighed once more and poked his thumb into the center of her forehead. Before she could even react, his touch made her eyes flutter closed and her knees buckle beneath her. Enzo caught her before she fell onto the ground, then looked over at me with confusion written across his face.

“Maybe we should take her somewhere to keep an eye on her until she calms down,” I said, passing a hand over my tired face. “She’s only going to get herself — both of us, actually — hurt.”

Enzo nodded and scooped her up in a fireman carry, then walked over to me. “We’ll have the pack keep an eye on her.”
