My Hockey Alpha by Eve Above Story PDF

at the moment to fear the Alpha King.

"Not now, Aldric," | said, attempting to sidestep around him. "My wife needsafter what you just said to her."

But Aldric's gaze didn't waver, and he was unyielding in his stance. "She'll be fine," he said." You and | need to

have a talk, Man to man."

Nina's mother, who had been a silent spectator throughout all of this, scowled at Aldric and cursed under her

breath. "You were too harsh on her just now," she muttered, her voice filled with frustration. "And you know it,

Aldric."

Aldric's eyes flicked briefly to Nina's mother, but he still didn't waver despite her biting gaze." Nina is old enough

to hear the truth, Angelica," he said firmly. "It's about tshe leams that she needs to grow up and take some

accountability."

Nina's mother let out an exasperated sigh and, with a final scowl in Aldric's direction and a curse under her

breath, she stormed out of the room, likely in search of Nina.

Once we were alone, my anger finally bubbled to the surface, and | couldn't contain it any longer. "You had no

right to keepfrom my wife," | snapped, my voice low and filled with frustration. "She needsright now."

However, despite my fury, Aldric met my anger with a calm demeanor. "Enzo, It's tyou faced shard

truths," he said sternly. "And after tonight, | can't put off speaking with you about it for any longer."

| frowned. "What 'hard truths' could you possibly be referring to, Aldric?" | hissed.

Aldric's eyes flashed with anger. "You do not speak toin such an insolent tone, boy!" he boomed, his low,

gravelly voice filling the room. He almost seemed grow in size, towering overlike a giant. "You will speak to

the Alpha King with respect!"

His words, his sudden anger, lefttaken aback. He was normally so jovial, kind, and informal. It was clear that

the events of tonight had struck a chord with him, and | found myself falling silent out of an inherent respect; |

could even feel my own wolf stirring inside

of me, cowering beneath the Alpha King's stem gaze.

Finally, after several long moments of silence, Aldric spoke again. "You call yourself an Alpha," he said, his voice

quieter now, "and yet you have made reckless, childish decisions without even once considering the

consequences."

My frustration flared, and my momentary fear of him was replaced with anger. | took a step closer to him, my

voice trembling with indignation. "All | wanted was our pack to be taken seriously," | argued, my hands still

clenched into tight fists at my sides. "To prove that we're not just children."

Aldric's gaze bore into mine, unyielding as ever. "Earning respect and trust isn't squick fix, Enzo," he said

firmly. "You need to prove your capability and maturity over time, not make hasty decisions, thinking that one

visit to the werewolf realm with a human will change everything."

"But Aldric, we saved you," | hissed. "It was our pack who stood up against the Luna and her army. It was our

pack who drove the Crescents out of Mountainview. It was your daughter who created the antidote that cured an

entire population of rogues!"

"Yes," Aldric said, his eyes softening ever so slightly, "and those actions are commendable. But there was a world

of shit to clean up in the wake of that mess. And no matter how you cut it, you are still kids. Kids who never

should have had to do any of that."

"So what are you saying?" | scoffed, throwing my hands up in the air. "You're right; we shouldn't have had to do

any of that, but we did. Why, then, are we not deserving of your respect?"

"Because," Aldric said in a low tone of voice, "you still have a horribly long way to go. There is much you don't

understand, Enzo. There is much that your father never taught you; or perhaps you simply didn't listen."

His words struck a chord, and | looked away, feeling a sense of embarrassment wash over me. Aldric was right,

and it stung to admit it. | had been reckless, and my actions had put Nina and our friends in danger.

Aldric's tone softened slightly, but his message remained firm. "As an Alpha, your priority should be the safety

and well-being of your pack," he continued. "Especially as the husband of the Alpha King's daughter... and as

Richard's son."

The mention of my father's nfelt like a knife in my throat. | swallowed the lump that began to grow, my gaze

still averted. It was as if | could still see the light leaving my father's eyes, as if | could still feel his frail body in

my arms after what the Luna had done to him. The very mention of him sentreeling.

| opened my mouth to speak, but before | could, Aldric continued. "Your father, as | told you the other day, was

my closest and most trusted partner," he said softly. "All he ever wanted was to see you succeed, Enzo. And if he

knew about your recklessness, if he knew about your immature actions... He would be rolling in his grave."
