My Hockey Alpha



My eyes widened. The premonition... It was a curse. All along, it was a curse.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

But curses could be broken.

"W-Why?" I muttered, somehow managing to speak through the weight on my chest.

Selena simply shrugged. "I'm just fulfilling the duty that our ancestors should have fulfilled long ago," she said. "It's about time we cleanse the world of those disgusting humans, sister. But you keep trying to get in my way... I knew you would, ever since the beginning. Ever since I was old enough to think for myself, I could feel your presence lcoming over me. The moment I saw you in the flesh, I knew that the curse had to be real; if it wasn't real, the Crescents would have murdered you when you were a baby, just like they should have done." "Y-You don't need to do this," I whimpered. "There's no need for... violence..."

This seemed to anger Selena. She stood abruptly and stormed over to Enzo, who had been slowly inching his way toward me. She crouched to his level and grabbed his hair, and at the same time she held up her free hand as though she was about to cast a spell.

"Violence is the only thing I know, sister," she growled. "I was willing to change when I discovered him, but then you took him from me. And maybe now, if I show you how it feels to have something you love taken from you for good, you'll join me. Think about how strong we could be together."

Selena paused, her eyes searching Enzo's face. She bent down and planted a kiss on his frozen lips as though she was saying goodbye.

But Selena didn't see what was in Enzo's hand.

Something blue.

I knew what needed to be done. Frank was right; there was a way to stop this without anyone dying. I still didn't know if it would work, but I had to try.

I squeezed my eyes shut and searched for my wolf. She was in there; I was sure of it. If I could just find a tiny spark, a flicker of life, I knew that I could gain the strength to move...

There it was. It was faint, but it was there.

When I opened my eyes, Selena was looking up at me with a grin.

"What?" she asked, laughing. "Don't wanna watch?" She snapped her fingers, and suddenly I couldn't blink; but it didn't matter. I gathered the strength, thanks to my wolf, and pulled the knife out of my sleeve. I sat up, and held it to my wrist.

Selena's eyes widened as I began to dig the blade into my flesh. Red beads of hot blood began to gather on my skin, and at the same time, Selena's wrist began to drip red too.

She gasped and yanked her hands away, holding her bloody wrist tightly.

"W-What are you doing?!" she shrieked.

I gritted my teeth and dug the knife a little deeper. "I'll do it," I said. Medical school had taught me exactly which vein to cut to make me bleed the most, and if I did it, I would be dead within minutes. So would Selena.

Selena let out a whimper and lunged for me, dripping blood on the floor, but I jerked away and dug the knife a little deeper.

"If you hurt Enzo, I'll kill us both, "I growled. "Neither twin can live without the other, after all."
