My Hockey Alpha Chapter 246: All the Power
Nina
“Hello, Nina,” the Luna said.
She wore all white. Even her hair, her eyelashes, and her eyebrows were pure white, and her skin was
as pale as a ghost. The only bit of color on her were her red eyes, staring out at me with disdain. But
while her eyes glared coldly at me, there was a smile on her face. I felt as though I was looking into the
face of someone who wanted nothing more than to kill me.
“M-Mother!” Selena yelled, scrambling to her feet. She scurried over to the Luna, blubbering and
whining over the fact that she was a human now. But the Luna only grimaced and, much to my
surprise, shoved Selena away.
With the force of the Luna’s shove, Selena fell backwards down the small set of stairs that led up to the
throne, where the Alpha King still sat with a blank expression on his face. Selena crumpled to the floor
and continued to sob quietly, curled up in a fetal position. With an agitated sigh, the Luna picked up her
skirt and slowly walked down the steps, then placed her shoe on Selena’s head and rubbed it into
Selena’s temple.
“You’re pathetic,” the Luna growled. “I can’t believe you let yourself turn into a filthy human… You’re
useless, and I never should have trusted you with this job.”
“M-Mother, I’m sorry!” Selena whined, clawing at the Luna’s skirt with her hands and begging. “Please
turn me back! I promise I’ll do better this time!”

The Luna only rolled her eyes and stepped over Selena. Enzo and I began to back away, but the Luna
just followed us. She raised her hand and snapped, and I heard the doors to the throne room slam shut
behind us. I heard the sound of a large, heavy deadbolt clicking into place from the other side; we were
locked in here with her.
“Who are you?” I said. “What do you want?”
The Luna stopped, staring at me for a moment. I felt as though she was appraising me as she looked
me up and down, like an animal up for auction.
“You really are your father’s daughter,” she said, rolling her eyes once more. “The stupidity must run in
the family.” She turned away then and walked back up to the throne. Enzo and I looked at each other
and seemed to come to the conclusion that we both needed to make a run for it. I lifted my hand to
open a portal, hoping to do it before the Luna turned back around, but without even looking at me she
seemed to know what I was doing and snapped her fingers again. In that instant, I felt another invisible
force shove me to the ground. It was even stronger than the spell that Selena cast earlier, and both
mine and Enzo’s knees buckled beneath us. I felt as though I couldn’t even breathe.
The Luna walked up to the Alpha King, who still sat staring blankly ahead. I wanted to plead with him to
come to his senses, but I couldn’t. The invisible force weighed heavily on my throat, and it took all of
my strength just to suck in lungfuls of air. All I could do was watch as the Luna stopped beside him and
stroked his hair, almost like he was a pet, while she stared down at all three of us on the floor.
“You were supposed to be the smarter one, the more powerful one,” the Luna said, staring down her
nose at me. From this angle, she looked enormous and even more terrifying. “And I suppose, you are.
But you’re too obsessed with those filthy humans, and that will be your downfall.”
I furrowed my brow. What was she talking about? What did she mean when she said that I was
supposed to be the smarter and more powerful one? Did she mean… That I wasn’t supposed to be the
one who was stolen? That it was supposed to be Selena, and that I was meant to stay behind and be
her puppet?
But even then, I still couldn’t ask any of these questions. The pressure on my body was too great. I felt
as though I would sink through the floor, down into the earth. It began to burn, too, even more than the
burning that I felt earlier when the antidote was running its course in Selena’s body. I began to writhe in
agony, and so did Selena, just from my pain alone. Enzo began to squirm and grunt beside me as well;
I felt his fingers brush mine, and I latched onto them.
The burning became even more intense. A choked scream escaped my throat as I felt as though my
body would turn inside out and dissolve into embers. I squeezed my eyes shut, feeling tears
immediately begin to stream down my cheeks.
“If you would only realize that I’m just looking out for the best of our species, then I would let you live,”
the Luna said, sounding incredibly nonchalant for someone who was torturing three people. She raised
her voice to speak over Selena’s screams, like her screams were nothing but a whistling tea kettle. “But
now, I’ve had to realize something of my own. And what I’ve realized is that your godforsaken family is
only going to stand in the way of my plans. I can’t have that.”
“W-What are you talking about?” I groaned, somehow managing to speak through the pain even
though it felt like I was vomiting up hot coals. “W-what plans?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Luna laughed. When she did, it sounded light and airy, like a summer breeze. It didn’t at all sound
like the laugh of a villain; but when I looked up at her, her red eyes were still cold and emotionless.
Beside her, the Alpha King only appeared even more out of it. How long would it be before he met the
same fate as Richard?
“Surely you’re not serious?” the Luna laughed. “Can’t you tell already? I want to cleanse the world of
the filthy creatures that destroyed our species!”
My eyes widened as another wave of pain washed over me. I let out another involuntary scream; I was
going to die from this pain. I was sure of it. There was no escaping it. The Luna was too powerful, and
no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get up or make the pain stop.
All I could do was close my eyes and squeeze Enzo’s hand as I waited for death to take all of
us.xo.com fast update
But then…
Silence. The pain disappeared, and the sounds of our screams were replaced by the sounds of the
wind blowing through the trees and the crickets twittering in the night.
I slowly opened my eyes, and found myself laying in the center of the forest clearing; the same clearing
that we left through last time. Beside me, Enzo groaned and sat up. I sat up alongside him, my pain
feeling like a distant memory now, and furrowed my brow as we stared incredulously at each other.
“Are… Are we dead?” I whispered.
Enzo shook his head, and looked at his hands.
“No,” he replied, looking up at the sky. “We’re home.
