My Hockey Alpha



Chapter 0617

As I started helping, my mother introduced me to some of the servants, who were diligently working to make everything perfect for the festival. One of them, in particular, caught my attention.

"Nina, this is Pally," my mother said, gesturing to a young woman with a friendly smile. "She started working with us not long ago, so I don't think you've met. And she's your age!"

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at my mother essentially trying to set up a playdate for me, but I smiled nonetheless. "Hi, Polly."

"Hi, Nina," Polly said, extending her hand. "Nice to meet you."

I shook her hand and returned her smile. "You too, Polly," I said, then thought for a minute, seeing that my mother had already scurried away on some other task. "So, um, have you attended the Moon Goddess Festival before?"

Polly chuckled as she arranged some candles on a table. "All the time," she said. "You?"

My cheeks flushed a slight shade of red and I shook my head, grabbing some decorations from a nearby box and getting to work. "No," I admitted. "Actually, I've never heard of it before."

*Really?" Polly shot me a quizzical look. "But you're the Alpha King's daughter."

I shrugged, running a nervous hand through my hair. "It's... a long story," I said vaguely. "But I didn't grow up in the werewolf realm, so I don't know much about the traditions."

Polly giggled in response. "Well, I'll have to tell you all about it, then," she began. And with that, before I knew it, Polly had delved into a monologue about not only the Moon Goddess Festival, but other traditions as well.

And as I listened to Polly's stories, I felt a growing sense of belonging here.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

It was easy to see that there was more to this realm than I had initially thought. Maybe, just maybe, I could find my place here, even if I hadn't grown up here.

And then, at one point, I looked up to see my father passing through the room. He had a jovial look on his face, and was dressed in a suit-he had a meeting, I assumed.

But then I saw Enzo behind him, dressed neatly as well in a suit of his own. I couldn't help but furrow my brow as I looked at him, taken aback by his appearance.

Seeing Enzo in a suit was a far cry from his usual flannel and jeans or hockey uniform, and it caused me to stop, nearly dropping the glass vase I had been holding. Time seemed to slow as he passed through the room, and our eyes caught each other across the distance.

At that moment, I saw a side of Enzo that I didn't see often as he followed my father through the room. I saw the perfect picture of a young Alpha-not only the leader of a ragtag group of misfits back in Mountainview, but a true leader, a commander just like my father.

And in that moment, I felt my heart pound in my chest, and I couldn't tear my eyes away until he had disappeared from the room.

I didn't know where Enzo was going with my father or what he was doing, but whatever it was, I was intrigued. And during those moments, I felt even more attracted to him than ever.

Polly's voice asking for help pulled me back to the present, but as I continued to help her, it got me thinking. Here Enzo and I were, seemingly just coming for a visit...

But at the same time, I couldn't deny the fact that it seemed as though there was more tying us to the werewolf realm than I previously thought.

Did we have a future here, away from our quiet town of Mountainview?
