My Hockey Alpha



Chapter 0367

Maybe Enzo was right. Maybe we would have to wait and come back when they relaxed their security. Either that, or we would have to wait for Selena to come to us, assuming she hadn't given up on trying to make Enzo her mate.

However, as I crouched behind the bushes and chewed my lip nervously, I suddenly had another idea.

It wasn't so much an idea as it was a feeling. It was the same instinctual feeling that I had when I felt the rogues coming earlier. It was the same feeling that I had when I originally went through the portal, and felt as though I just suddenly knew what had to be done. Whatever this feeling was.... It was just like that.

When I suddenly stood, Enzo's eyes widened and his hand shot out to grab my arm.

"Nina! What are you doing?!" he hissed.

"Just trust me," I whispered. Although, if I was being honest, I didn't even feel as though could trust myself at that moment. For some reason, I felt as though I had to put my trust into something intangible, some unknown force that I still didn't understand.

I felt something surge through me. A lightning bolt flashed in the distant sky, and at the same time it felt as though another lightning bolt flashed through me, giving me power. I didn't know what was happening as I slowly stepped out from behind the bushes, ignoring Enzo's pleas for me to come back.

The guards began to notice my presence. I heard them shouting at each other, and several of them raised their guns. But I kept going.

Something happened inside of me at that point. I couldn't explain it, but I knew that all I had to do was focus my energy, and so I did.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

I focused as hard as I could, imagining that there was a ball of light inside of me, and I imagined that I could control that light.

Several of the guards ran closer, their guns raised and trained on me.

"Put your hands up!" one of them yelled.

"Nina!" Enzo shouted. He jumped out from behind the bush and ran after me, causing the guards to train their guns on him next as he put himself between me and the guards with his arms outstretched.

"Get down! We'll shoot!" another guard yelled.

Meanwhile, I kept focusing my energy. I squeezed my eyes shut, blocking out the guards' commands. And then...

Silence.

I opened my eyes.

The guards had lowered their guns, and were now staring at us with blank, wide-eyed expressions. One of them even dropped his gun, as though his hands didn't even work

anymore. Behind them, the other guards that had been coming after us had also stopped in their tracks, and stood in the same dumbfounded positions. Their bodies looked slack, like puppets with no puppet master.

Enzo turned to face me, his eyes wide.

"What did you do?"

I shrugged and shook my head at the same time, just as shocked as he was. "I... I don't know," I said. I walked up to one of the guards and waved my hand in front of his face. He blinked, but that was it.

Somehow, I managed to daze all of the guards at once. There were at least thirty spread across the front lawn to the mansion, and all of them looked equally as out of it. I didn't know how I did it, or how long it would last.

But I did know one thing: I had just given us a chance to get inside of the mansion.

And as we ran across the lawn, pushing our legs to carry us as fast as we could possibly go, I only hoped that I didn't just prematurely give away our location to Selena.
