My Hockey Alpha novel Chapter 266

Nina

I woke up the next morning in the cabin to the sound of the birds chirping outside and Enzo moving around quietly. When I opened my eyes, I saw that Enzo was already awake and seemed to be getting dressed.

We had spent the entire night having sex, and I could feel the effects of it on my body now that it was morning. I was sore, but it was a good kind of soreness that was fading quickly thanks to my newfound werewolf healing abilities, and a smile spread across my face when I saw Enzo.

“Morning, hot stuff,” he said with a smile as he pulled his pants on. He came over to kiss me. I sat up, revealing my bare breasts, and covered myself with a yelp before anyone saw me through the window. Enzo just laughed.

“So… Is that what it’s like to have sex with your mate?” I asked, feeling a bit sheepish as I got up and started to get dressed.

Enzo chuckled. “I wouldn’t know. You’re my first and only mate.”

I blushed a bit at Enzo’s words. I felt a little silly, but not in an uncomfortable way. We finished getting dressed before we headed back to campus, and after a quick stop at the dining hall for a large breakfast to satisfy our raging appetites, Enzo suddenly stood and nodded to himself.

“Training begins today,” he said, glancing at his watch. “Are you coming?”

I looked up at Enzo with wide eyes. My cheeks were still full of pancakes, and I swallowed quickly before answering. “Right now?”

Enzo nodded and seemed a little sarcastic. “Yeah. Of course.”

I stood quickly and nodded in response. “Okay,” I said. “Let’s get started, then.”

…

Once we had gathered everyone at the athletic field, Enzo began his rundown of the grueling training session he had in store. Many of the new recruits were hungover from the party, but Enzo didn’t seem to care, and just kept reiterating the fact that the Crescents wouldn’t care if anyone was hungover.

The training session began with a several-mile long run through the running trails in the forest. Enzo and I led the group of groaning recruits while he shouted at them like a drill sergeant.

“You just think that you’re uncomfortable, but you’re not,” Enzo said to the new recruits. “Werewolves can run way longer than this. You have to let go of the mindset you had as a human.”

After the run, he led drills on the athletic field. The new recruits did sprints, agility courses, and calisthenics. A few of the girls had to stop at one point, and I thought I even saw one of them throw up from the exertion. That was when I had had enough; as a doctor, I couldn’t just allow Enzo to make students sick from training, and by now it had been hours of nonstop exercise.

“You’re going too hard on them,” I said as I walked up to Enzo while he was yelling at the new recruits to sprint faster during a relay race. “You’re practically abusing them.”

Enzo glanced at me for a moment with his stopwatch in his hand and simply shrugged. “They’re werewolves now,” he said, sounding too nonchalant for my tastes. “They’ll be fine.”

I frowned deeply and folded my arms across my chest. “A girl just threw up from all of the exertion!” I said. “At least let them take a break.”
