The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 205: Kendrick's Plan
Once our bags were packed, we returned to Kendrick's black SUV. The atmosphere inside was tense, the weight of uncertainty hanging in the air."Took you long enough," Kendrick mumbled, not bothering to look up from his phone.He spat out a location to his chauffeur and the SUV began to move again.I found myself leaning closer to Lucas as we drove, trying to find some kind of comfort.He noticed and placed a warm, gentle hand on my thigh.Just when I thought Kendrick was finished ordering us around, he wasted no time briefing us about our journey's next leg. "To reach the palace, we'll need to cover a distance beyond what a car can manage. I've arranged for a private jet. It'll be a 15-hour flight."A private jet? I'd never been on a plane before, let alone a private jet.The nervous fluttering in my stomach intensified."15 hours?" I questioned. "That's awfully long... How will we sleep and eat?"Finally, Kendrick looked up from his phone, giving me a puzzling stare. "Have you never
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 206: Rules for Royalty
The airport sprawled before us as Kendrick's SUV glided through a discreet entrance. The road led us to a sleek private jet that awaited our departure.The private jet was more massive than I could have imagined, a true sign of the wealth that Kendrick had amassed.Sometimes, I forgot just how rich Lucas's father was. I forgot that he belonged to one of the wealthiest alpha families.It must've been because Lucas carried himself so differently than one would expect. He never flaunted his wealth, and instead, chose to act like a normal teenager.Kendrick, on the other hand, was every bit the businessman, and nobody would ever mistake him for being a commoner. He practically oozed luxury.As we stepped out of the car, the plane's staff immediately went to retrieve our luggage.They bowed their heads, greeting us with practiced courtesy.I felt a little uncomfortable by their welcome. They were treating us as if we were royalty.Lucas must've noticed my hesitation because he put a hand o

The plane's engines roared as we ascended into the sky, the subtle vibration coursing through the cabin.Looking outside of the window and seeing us soar amongst the clouds was an almost surreal feeling.It felt like I was worlds away from the struggles I'd faced just days ago. Soon, I'd be setting foot in a real palace. A place full of history and wonder.It was hard to process and I had to remind myself that this wasn't some kind of fantasy.To ground myself, as well as feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness, I reached for Lucas's hand.The unfamiliar sensation of being so high up in the sky made my ears pop, and I squeezed his hand for comfort.He shot me a reassuring smile, understanding the mix of emotions churning within me.Lucas's blue eyes met mine, concern evident in his gaze."Did your ears pop, too?" he asked, his attention shifting from the view outside the window to my face.I nodded, a small frown forming. "How do I make it go away?"He offered a reassuring smile.

My gaze shifted away from the window as I felt eyes on me.Kendrick took a sip of his alcohol glass, his eyes locked with mine. "The Alpha King has requested private time with you, Shana. You must make a good impression."My stomach fluttered nervously at the mention of being alone with the Alpha King. What did he want to discuss in private? What could he possibly see in me that required one-on-one attention?Lucas, sensing my unease, jumped in. "What does the Alpha King want with Shana?"Kendrick glanced at his son, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. "He isn't looking for a wife, Lucas. You can relax.""Well, then why does he need to spend alone time with her?" Lucas asked. "Whatever he needs to talk to Shana about, he can do in front of me.""If the King wishes to speak with Shana alone, then so be it." Kendrick swirled his glass around in his hand.Lucas's protective gaze lingered on me, his jaw tense. "I don't want her spending time alone with him."The intensity in Lucas's voic

His words struck a chord in me, and I appreciated the offer despite the lingering uncertainty about Kendrick's true motives.It was a stark contrast to the man who had dragged me into this supernatural world against my will.My mouth fell open in surprise as I was unsure of what to say.I couldn't shake off the nagging confusion about Kendrick's sudden display of kindness. How could he flip from being the stern, manipulative figure to wanting to play the role of a fatherly figure?Was it because he felt bad for me? Or did he just want something from me now that he knew I was the White Wolf?"I know things have been difficult between us," Kendrick began as if sensing my internal struggle. "But introducing you to the Alpha King has changed the game. I feel a sense of responsibility now. I want to ensure the right choices are made. Don't forget, I've opened the door to possibilities for you."His words hung in the air, carrying an undercurrent that felt like a subtle form of blackmail.W

As another hour passed, Kendrick retreated to the back of the plane for a series of phone calls.It finally allowed a chance for Lucas and I to delve into our thoughts and emotions without having Kendrick breathing down our necks or keeping a close eye on us."I feel like I'm in a dream," I admitted to Lucas, my voice a hushed whisper amidst the subdued ambiance of the private jet. "Everything is happening so fast. It's like a whirlwind after my father's passing, and now... all this."Lucas sighed, a heavy burden etched across his face. "I'm sorry, Shana. My father shouldn't have immediately taken your information to the Alpha King. It's all too much, too soon."Despite the turmoil within me, I found myself offering a small smile. "You don't have to apologize for your father. I know how he is, and I shouldn't have expected anything less. I knew this would all come out eventually.""You've had to deal with so much lately, you didn't need another thing added to your plate.""I know he h
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 211: Meal in the Sky
As the evening set in, the hum of the engines became a soothing background noise.The aroma of the freshly served meal lingered in the air, surprising me with its rich and delectable flavors.I'm not exactly sure how they were able to cook a full meal for us on the jet, but I wasn't complaining.The scent of the freshly cooked meal filled the cabin, making my stomach growl in anticipation."What's that smell?" I inquired, detecting a hint of tomatoes in the air.Lucas, with a mischievous grin, replied, "Probably pasta. They must be making us something delicious."Considering it had been hours since our last meal, the prospect of food was particularly enticing. I couldn't help but remark, "It's a good thing James isn't here. He'd be losing his mind over the wait."Lucas chuckled, "Nah, he would've raided all the snacks by now. You know how he is, always hungry."Once the flight attendants finished arranging the trays in front of us, we were presented with a delightful spread of pasta,
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 212: An Unexpected Arrival
As the private jet touched down, the anticipation in the air grew palpable, settling into the pit of my stomach like a heavyweight. The jet engines hummed their final lullaby, signaling the end of our journey and the beginning of an unknown chapter."Did you sleep well?" Lucas inquired, a gentle smile playing on his lips as I rubbed away the remnants of sleep from my eyes."Surprisingly, yes," I replied, taking in my surroundings. "Did I really sleep through the rest of the flight?""You did. I figured you needed the rest, so I let you be. You looked too peaceful to disturb." He bent down, planting a soft kiss on my lips.Anxiously, my gaze darted around to locate Kendrick, only to find him sitting across from us, seemingly engrossed in his own thoughts."PDA in front of your dad?" I teased with skepticism. "Are you trying to provoke him?""I don't care. You're my girlfriend, and for the next four days, I won't be able to kiss or touch you whenever I want." He bent down for another ki
