My Hockey Alpha novel Chapter 453

“You see it now, don’t you?” Mila asked with a chuckle. “You see the truth now?”

I swallowed, if I could even swallow in this strange mindscape. “I think so.”

“So what are you going to do about it?”

“I don’t know.” My head whirled with possibilities. I didn’t want to leave Nina, but… if she was cheating on me, then I had no choice. I wouldn’t lower myself like that.

“You know what you need to do,” Mila said with a surprising amount of calmness in her voice. “Leave her. Come to me instead.”

“But-”

“It’s non-negotiable, Enzo.” Her voice deepened a little; it didn’t get louder, but rather sank further into my mind, as though settling itself into the folds in my brain. “Our psychic connection has already been established. We’re connected now, Enzo.”

“Connected?” I asked.

Mila chuckled in a mocking way, but it was oddly soothing as though she were gently stroking the depths of my mind with her voice. Like she was petting me.

“Once a dragon has chosen its mate, the psychic connection cannot be broken,” she said. “You are mine. And I am yours. But that cannot be so unless you get her out of the picture.”

“And if I say no?” I asked.

“Simple. I will use our connection to drive you mad; and then you will kill her yourself. With your own bare hands. After that, you will come to me.”

I felt my mind shudder at her words. Killing Nina… I couldn’t kill her. No matter how angry and hurt I was, I couldn’t harm her. Even as I saw her protecting Matt’s body, holding her hand out to stop me, it had halted me in my rage.

momentarily before a soft, soothing sensation washed through my mind.

“Bide your time,” Mila’s voice echoed in the back of my mind, as though her presence had replaced that of my wolf. ” Don’t panic…”

I drew in a deep breath, absorbing her words. Yes. I couldn’t panic…

But when I felt the pressure on my lap, I couldn’t help but look down. Nina’s head lay there, fast asleep.

And seeing her filled me with fury.
