My Hockey Alpha
#Chapter 175: Last Goodbye

Enzo

I hardly slept at all that night. Even as I held Nina, feeling her sleeping peacefully in my arms, I couldn't seem to relax for even a moment. My mind raced nonstop over what was to come; what would I do when I returned to the werewolf realm? I couldn't just walk into the Alpha King's mansion, but I knew the only way I would find out what happened to my father was by going there in one way or another. But if Selena found me, I was certain that she would do something horrible and vindictive to force me to stay. It made me almost sick thinking about the prospect of becoming her mate.

It was a relief to know that the two sisters would share the same fated mate, which explained why my bond with Nina was so strong, but Nina's wolf had also been missing since Selena put her in that strange prison. I couldn't pick up Nina's scent, and Fio couldnt sense her wolf at all. Not only that, but she'd lost her powers entirely and couldn't even heal herself. I knew that James’ claim that the silver bullet had killed off her wolf was most likely a lie, as it wasn't anything that I had ever heard of before, but I couldnt shake the feeling that Selena did something to make Nina's wolf go away so that I would have no choice but to mark Selena in the end. If I did somehow manage to save my father, I would also have to be sure to do it in such a way that Nina would get her wolf back when this was all over. There must have been some sort of spell on her, but spells could be broken... Or at least, I hoped they could.

As the hours ticked on and the sun slowly began to rise over the mountains, I finally couldn't sleep anymore. Taking care not to wake Nina, I quietly climbed out of bed and got into the shower to at least try to relax a little and enjoy some comforts just in case something bad happened. However, even the scalding hot water couldn't ease my anxieties.

When I got out of the shower, Nina was awake and sitting up in bed with a somewhat scared look on her face.

“I thought you left already,” she said, letting out a sigh of relief. She almost looked like a little child who had a bad dream, and it made my heart ache to leave her like this.

“I wouldn't just leave you like that,” I murmured as I quickly walked over to her and sat down on the edge of the bed, still in my towel. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her closer.

We sat like that for a little while, just holding each other. But then, as I felt her hand travel up inside my towel, I looked down and saw a hint of mischief in her eyes

"One last time?” she whispered, stroking me beneath the towel with her sleepy, yet sultry, eyes staring up at me.

Of course I couldn't resist. In one swift movement, I pushed her down on the bed and pulled the blankets down, climbing between her legs. She was only wearing my t-shirt and a pair of panties. I moved her damp panties aside and watched her face as I began to stroke her clit.

I didn't want to take my eyes off of her. If this was going to be the last time I would ever see her, then I wanted her face to be burned into my memory. I didn’t want to ever close my eyes again without picturing her with her head on the pillow, her eyes rolling back as I pleasured her.

I kissed her down there too, relishing in the sounds of her quiet moans as I swirled my tongue around, tasting her. She was soft and wet, and when I looked up, I saw her gazing down at me with her lips parted and her hand up her shirt, cupping her breasts.

Eventually, I couldn't contain myself anymore. I had to fuck her.

I moved up between her legs and rubbed a bit of spit on my cock before thrusting into her. She took me now so easily compared to the first time we slept together, and I was able to work myself in without any struggle. As I felt her tight pussy wrap around me, I felt myself throb. I took a deep breath, willing myself not to come. The wolf inside of me wanted to breed her instantly, but I pushed that feeling down for the sake of making Nina feel good one last time before I left.

The sounds that came out of Nina's mouth as I thrust myself into her already left me on the verge of finishing, but I held myself back as I began to work my way into her, just focusing on making her feel good one last time. With each twist of our hips together, I felt her become more wet, as though her body was begging me to go deeper.

“Enzo,” she moaned, digging her fingernails into the flesh of my back as I thrust myself into her, her eyes rolling back in pleasure, “I love you.”

“I love you too, Nina,” I whispered. I leaned down to suck on the soft skin of her neck, relishing in the feeling of her wrapped around me and the feeling of her nails digging into my back. I just wished that I could stay like this forever. I could live inside of her.

I scooped my arms under her arched back then and pulled her up, lifting her shirt off over her head so I could see her slender waist and her plump breasts. She held onto my neck as we moved together, twisting against me until we were both on the edge.

Finally, I couldn't hold it in any longer. “Come with me,” I whispered, fucking her harder and more deeply as I felt my cock begin to swell.

We came together. I watched her intently as I came inside of her, letting the image of her face, with her eyes rolled back and her lips parted, melt into my brain.

I knew, as we collapsed in a tangled mess beneath the sheets, that I would hold onto this last memory until I could see Nina again.

A few hours later, it was time for me to leave. I said my goodbyes to my new pack in the apartment. "We'll see you soon, Enzo,” Matt said, clapping me on the back. “Real soon.”

I nodded. Even though a huge part of me still felt as though I would never return, my friends seemed firmly set on the idea, and it brought me a bit of comfort. With that, we said our final goodbyes, and Nina walked me to the woods. One of my father's pack promised to meet us there to open a portal for me; someone who didn't particularly sympathize with Lewis’ sudden power trip. It felt good to know that I still had some members of the Fullmoons who didn't see me as a total failure for wanting to break off and make my own pack.

Just as promised, the Fullmoon was there when we arrived. Myra.

"Are you ready?” she asked, leaning against one of the big pine trees with her arms folded across her chest.

“Just give us a minute,” I said. Myra nodded and turned away to give Nina and I some privacy. There were already tears in Nina's eyes as I turned to face her.

“I don’t want you to go,” she whispered, her voice choked.

“I know.” I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close, shutting my eyes as I felt her body pressed up against mine and her quiet sobs into my shirt. When we finally pulled apart, I leaned down to meet her tearful gaze and held her firmly by both shoulders. “I promised I would come back, wouldn't 1?” I asked

Nina nodded. “Yes. But... What if you don't?”

“I will,” I insisted, although I didn’t know if I quite believed it myself. “I promise I'll be back before you even notice I'm gone.”

“Let me come with you,” she said, her face twisting into a sob.

“Nina... You have to stay here,” I replied. “Someone has to be the school doctor. Someone has to make Tiffany's antidote. And besides... It's too dangerous. We don’t know what Selena will do if she sees you again.”

Nina was silent as she stared at the forest floor, but she finally nodded after a while.

Neither of us spoke as I pulled her close again. We held each other for several long minutes, just swaying back and forth with the breeze, until Myra finally shot me a look over Nina's shoulder. It was time to go.

I pulled away again, leaning down to kiss Nina one last, sweet time. “It's time,” I whispered.

Nina nodded. I took her hand and walked over to meet Myra, who opened the swirling portal in one fluid, circular motion. Nina and I stared into it for a few moments, my heart pounding in my chest, before she turned to look up at me with a stern look on her face.

"Enzo Rivers,” she said, her voice quivering but fiercer than ever, “if you don't come back... I'm gonna come after you and you're gonna get it.”

I couldn't help but smile at Nina's words. But the portal was beginning to close, and I had to go. With one last kiss on her forehead, I stepped through the portal, holding onto Nina's hand until the last moment.
