#Chapter 135: Running with the Wolves

Nina When I came to, the first thing I saw was Enzo’s concerned face. “Are you okay?” he asked, his eyes wrought with worry. I groaned and looked around, noticing now that the rest of the hockey team was also bent over me and looking equally as worried. It took a few moments for my head to clear, but then I remembered that I had passed out during the Claiming ceremony. “I’m fine…” I sat up, rubbing my throbbing head. “Did it work?” Enzo paused, then looked around at his teammates, who all shrugged. “I feel a little different,” one of them said. “Me, too,” another chimed in, looking at his hands with an expression of awe on his face. Enzo helped me up. I looked around at everyone, then searched for Cora’s presence inside of me to ask her if she managed to do it -- but she was asleep. It seemed that the ceremony drained her energy, too. Suddenly, one of the teammates, Bryce, doubled over. The rest of the team huddled around him in shock.
