My Hockey Alpha



Chapter 0599

"That's wonderful," I said, genuinely happy for them. "Congratulations."

He beamed at me and extended his hand. "Thank you," he said. "And I wish you the best of luck with your pregnancy."

I shook his hand, a warm feeling spreading through me. "Thank you," I replied, touched by his kind words. "I could use all the luck I can get."

With a final nod and a friendly smile, we parted ways, and I continued on my path back to Jessica's room. The encounter with the man had left me feeling a bit lighter, a glimmer of hope amidst the uncertainty.

When I returned to the room, the door was open. I strode in, and my breath caught in my throat. There she was, sitting up, a smile plastered across her face. There was a tray of food sitting across her lap, and she was eating hungrily while Lori watched in awe.

In that moment, I knew for certain: she was a werewolf. I could sense it, I could smell it on her, I could see it in the way she ate so ravenously to heal her body.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

And in that moment, I felt more connected to my best friend than ever.

"Jessica," I murmured, rushing forward. She held her arms out for me, and I practically threw myself into her, tears streaming down my cheeks. "We were so worried."

"I know," she said, burying her face in my hair.

When we pulled away, I couldn't help but chuckle. "Your hair..."

"Don't even mention it," she said, running her hand along her shaved head. "I might need a wig."

"I think you can rock the bald style," Lori chimed in with a laugh. "It suits you."

Jessica stuck her tongue out, and I couldn't help but laugh. "It's good to see you awake. Really."

She nodded. "You know, I was just telling Lori, I remember seeing a dog jump out into the road... I swerved into the oncoming lane, and didn't see the truck barreling toward me. But I don't remember anything after that."

As Jessica spoke, I felt my stomach do a flip. A dog... It brought me back to last night, when I saw that strange yellow-eyed werewolf in the road.

It wasn't possible that it was the same werewolf, right?

"What did the dog look like?" I blurted out without even thinking. "Was it big, or...?"

Jessica furrowed her brow, shooting me a confused look. "I don't remember," she admitted. "Why does it matter? It was a dog. Little shit almost got me killed."

I shook my head, my false smile masking my concem. "Oh, no reason," I lied. "I was just curious, that's all." Jessica and Lori both shot me a somewhat confused look, but said nothing. Leaning her head back on her pillow, Jessica took a deep breath and shut her eyes for the moment. "Doctor says I'll need to stay for a few more days just to be 'safe'," she said with a slight laugh. "But it's funny, I actually feel great. Like... better than ever, actually."

At that moment, Lori and I exchanged looks, and I knew that Lori hadn't mentioned anything yet; probably waiting for me. She gave me a brief nod, and I knew it was time.

Finally, the moment had come to share the truth with Jessica, and I took a deep breath. "Jess," I began, my voice steady, "I think there's something you deserve to know. Something that I... Something that I did while you were asleep."

She opened her eyes and looked at me with curiosity, her gaze wide and expectant. "What is it, Nina?"

I met her gaze, my heart pounding in my chest.

"Jessica," I said, "you're a werewolf now."
