My Hockey Alpha

Enzo, Luke and I led Jason and his team over to the athletic fields to meet the new recruits.

"I used my power of Claiming to turn all of these people," I said as we approached, "It was voluntary, of course. They can take the antidote when this is all over if they want to shift back."

Jason nodded slowly as he took in the scene in front of him. It had appeared as though the recruits decided not to take a break after all, and were now playing an intense game of touch football. I couldn't help but smile as I watched them zoom around the athletic field, using their newfound werewolf abilities to run faster, jump higher, and be more agile. They all seemed to be having a lot of fun.

"So," Jason said, turning to look at me, "you have the power of Claiming, huh?"

I nodded, then glanced over at his team. They had all been human when I met them before, and I was sure that they were all human now unless they had found another way to be turned. Judging from the way they watched the new recruits run around with such freedom, it appeared as though they were still human. The awe on their faces gave it away, and therefore I knew what Jason would ask next.

"Would you be interested in turning my team?"

My eyebrows raised. Jason's team looked at me intently with smiles on their faces.

"I mean... Sure, if you guys want," I said, glancing up at Enzo, who gave me a silent look of mild approval. "We can have another Claiming ceremony, I guess."

Jason's team got excited by the thought of that. I decided that it was best to keep the whole ceremony under wraps though, unlike last time; with the progress I had made with Selena, I didn't want her to find out that I was Claiming more people and excluding her once again. We came up with a plan to hold the ceremony at the cabins, but to disguise it as a small party with only the two hockey teams and our close friends in attendance.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

That night, we held the Claiming ceremony, followed by a small party. It felt just like the party we had at the lodge when we first met Jason and his team, and maybe all of us got a little too drunk. We spent the night dancing to loud music by the fire, playing drinking games, and talking. I quickly discovered that Jason and his team had done their best to protect their small town against the Crescents when the rogues first began to spread, but there were too many rogues for them to keep up with. It wasn't until the antidote started being passed around that their town managed to keep its head above water. And apparently, that was the case with a lot of towns on the island. But the good news was that the antidote was working, which was keeping the Crescents at bay. Only a few towns were left completely overtaken by the Crescents, and apparently the Crescents had taken up their main residence in a town on the other side of the island for the time being. I knew, however, that it would only be a matter of time before the Crescents were aided by the Luna's genetically engineered rogues, and I hoped to keep that from happening. But I needed more information first. Cóntent belongs to NovélDráma. Org

A few more days passed, and it turned out that Jason and his team were a huge help. Between the two hockey teams, proud Mountainview citizens and the new recruits, the town of Mountainview was being patrolled constantly and felt safer than ever. Luke's spies kept an eye on the surrounding area and watched nearby towns to check for any Crescent action as well as to spread the word that it was safe in Mountainview, and soon the town was seeing an influx of people who were coming to wait out the storm and join in the fight. People who had previously been holed up in hiding returned to Mountainview, and refugees filled up all of the local motels, bed and breakfasts, and camping areas. By the end of the week, it felt as though absolutely nothing was out of the ordinary. I hoped that it could stay that way; maybe the Crescents would see that we were stronger in Mountainview and they would be more hesitant to attack. Now, all I needed was to focus on taking down the Luna. Hopefully then, this would all be over.
