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
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 213: Just a Dream
I snapped awake due to the sound of shouting beside me.The echo of Shana's distressed voice continued to ring in my ears, slicing through the hum of the plane's engines.I jumped from my seat, watching as she writhed in her sleep."Shana? Shana? Wake up!" I urged, gently shaking her shoulders, my eyes scanning her for any signs of distress.She appeared to be having some kind of nightmare and whatever fear she was experiencing in her dream was translating into reality."Shana!" I called again.She blinked into wakefulness, confusion clouding her gaze. She sat up, holding a hand to her chest as she tried to slow her breathing.As she slowly came to, I watched as she adjusted to the abrupt shift from her chaotic dream to the confined reality of the jet. She looked disoriented and anxious."Are you alright?" I asked, my concern evident as her fingers sought reassurance, clutching onto my arm as if confirming that I was real and unharmed. "What happened?"She kept pawing at me as if tryi

Lucas suggested I try to go to sleep again, but the turbulence from my nightmare lingered. I was still unsettled, and I refused to return to whatever dream I had just escaped from.Instead, I decided to distract myself by staring out the small window, allowing the scenery around me to take my mind off of things.The plane had lowered in the sky, and now instead of clouds, I was able to see a breathtaking scene. There was a large expanse of water surrounded by lush greenery and majestic mountains covered in thick, dense forests.Some parts of it reminded me of the place Lucas and I called home, but I knew we were much farther away than that.The sight left me in awe and strangely comforted me, allowing me to relax.However, every so often, my thoughts would remind me that our arrival was near and that the peace wouldn't last."We'll be landing soon," Kendrick said across from Lucas and I. There was a coffee mug in his hand that had probably gone cold by now. "Once we land, I've been in
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 215: Through the Portal
The drive through the mystical forest toward the portal to the Ethereal Palace was a short journey just as Liam had mentioned.I was distracted by the lush greenery, towering trees, and the ambient sounds of nature created an otherworldly atmosphere. It looked like any other forest, but something about it felt different. The energy felt charged with something magical.I gazed out the window, absorbing the breathtaking scenery as everyone else talked in the limousine."Does the palace get many visitors?" Kendrick asked, keen to get some insight."Oh, no frequently," Liam said. "Unless the palace is having a celebration, we don't often allow visitors. It's quite difficult to get onto palace grounds as is. The king likes to prevent such things. After his travels, he values his alone time.""Sorry," Liam interrupted his thoughts, his tone taking on a curiosity. "I'm not sure if all of us have been properly acquainted. You're Kendrick, yes? And this man beside you is your son, Lucas?""Yes
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 216: Fit for Royalty
The elegance of the castle's main foyer left me utterly breathless.Towering columns adorned with intricate carvings framed the entrance, and a sparkling chandelier hung from the ceiling, casting a cascade of light across the polished marble floor.The air carried a subtle scent of history and magic, a heady mix that heightened the surreal experience.Behind me, I heard the footfalls of Lucas, Kendrick, and all of Kendrick's guards. When I turned to see all of their reactions to the castle, they looked around in awe.Lucas's eyes met mine, the light from the chandelier made his eyes appear even more blue."Crazy," he mouthed to me and I didn't know what else to say, so I nodded back."Yes, it's quite impressive," Liam drawled in a proud tone. "The Etheral Palace has stood for centuries, a testament to the enduring legacy of our realm.""It's magnificent," Kendrick noted, no lie hidden behind his words."The king has tried to make this place feel otherworldly, but also warm and comfort
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 217: Mystery Gift
The dress laid out on the bed was nothing short of elegant, its fabric whispering against my fingertips.I hesitated for a moment, the weight of the Alpha King's gesture lingering in the room.If this was his choice, I couldn't disrespect him, not in his palace.However, another part of me felt uncomfortable wearing something that he had picked out specifically for me.A discreet knock echoed in the room, jolting me from my thoughts. Miriam's voice, muffled through the thick wooden door, followed the knock. "Miss Shana? Are the accommodations to your liking?"The sudden interruption made me jump, and I hastily responded, "Uh- yes! Everything is fine. Thank you, Miriam.""Excellent. I will be just outside the door if you shall need me."The silence that ensued felt almost stifling. I waited a few beats before exhaling deeply.Now that I knew Miriam was lingering just beyond the door, a sense of surveillance crept in.I felt a bit suffocated as if I couldn't freely explore my room witho
