My Hockey Alpha



Chapter 0703

I chewed on my fingernails, exchanging another terrified glance with Luke. "So she thinks you're her own personal stallion, basically," I said. "You're right. That is madness."

"yeah, well, she'll have to kill me first before I father anything for her," Enzo hissed, leaning his head back on the wall.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps interrupted our conversation. We all froze, turning, and that was when we saw her. Mila swept into the room in a flash of green silk, flanked by two guards dressed in all black. Just seeing her made me sick.

"I should've known you would have gotten your pretty little self involved," she growled, her red eyes flashing with fury as she stared down her nose at me.

I frowned. "You stole my husband," I retorted. "Of course I'd get involved."noveldrama

"Luckily for you, I was prepared. Enjoying your cage?"

Her cutting words dripped with mocking venom. Enzo suddenly stood, crossing his cell, and banged on the bars with his fist. But then he recoiled slightly in pain, wincing and cursing under his breath.

"Tsk, tsk," Mila said, turning to him. "So spirited. I'd be scared of you, if it weren't for the fact that a little silver is all it takes to subdue you."

Her burning gaze shifted aside to glare at me once more. "Take her," she said. "I need to be sure."

Guards instantly burst into my cell and seized me, ignoring Enzo's desperate roars echoing down the hall. I shrieked, but my cries fell on deaf ears.

I wrapped my arms tighter around myself as I returned to the dungeon with what dignity I had left. Enzo, still banging on the bars of his cage, rushed over to the door and shoved his hands through the gaps.

"Nina," he cried out, "are you okay? What did they do to you?"

"Don't worry," Mila said. "It was just a gynecological exam. She's fine."

One of the guards suddenly thrust a spear through Enzo's cage, causing him to back up. Then, another guard swung the door open just enough to let me through into Enzo's cell.

Instantly, both of us rushed forward to collide in the center of the cell. Enzo's warm arms enveloped me, pulling me tight. In that moment, I didn't care whether the guards behind us were locking us in or if they ever let us out again; I was just happy to be in his arms.

"So, it's true," Mila said with a scoff. "I'll be honest; when I first heard that you were pregnant, I assumed that the little thing wouldn't make it. The blood of the dragon is, after all, rather powerful; almost impossible for a little waif like you to bear."

Mila sighed, circling around our cage. Enzo and I continued to hold each other, unfazed by the silver burning our skin. "But, here we are," Mila said. "The baby lives, and here you come, strutting into my kingdom. Commendable, if I may say so myself."

I pulled away from Enzo just enough to glare at Mila. "So you'll let us go," I said. "You should be glad, that the blood of the dragon is spreading; let us raise our child in peace, then."

"Oh, no no no," Mila giggled. "Dragon tradition says otherwise, and besides... I'd be unsatisfied if I didn't get to watch you suffer. You have, after all, bewitched my mate."

"He's not your mate. He's mine."

Mila clicked her tongue. "No matter," she said, waving her hand dismissively. "Here is how it's going to play out: tomorrow, you two will fight-as per Dragon tradition."

Enzo and I paused, looking warily at each other. And then, Mila's eyes flashed, a mocking laugh escaping her lips.

"To the death, might I add," she hissed.
