The Alpha King's deep voice resonated through the grand dining hall, and I couldn't help but feel a shiver run down my spine. "I must admit, you aren't what I expected, Shana, but you know what they say about unexpected things."His words hung in the air, leaving me uncertain about their meaning.The King, casually lounged at the head of the table. He seemed to notice my hesitation and addressed it directly. "Come now, my dear. We can't have you being all timid and quiet in front of me. I want you to feel comfortable here."I nodded, finding my voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Prince Alexander has been incredibly welcoming."I chanced a glance at the Prince, and our eyes met briefly.He was watching me carefully, a small, mysterious smile playing on his lips, his glass poised just below his mouth."Incredibly welcoming," he repeated the words back to me. "I'll remember such a lovely compliment."I wanted to snap at him and tell him not to get his hopes up, but I didn't want to make a

The final course was served, and as the dinner plates were cleared away, Liam discreetly reappeared through the entrance doors.He stood with a confident demeanor in the presence of the King. "Hello, Your Highness.""Liam," the King regarded him. "I'm sorry that you couldn't join us for dinner.""That's kind of you, sir. However, I've come to inform you that your presence is needed elsewhere." Liam kept his hands clasped in front of him professionally."Oh, but we were all just starting to warm up to one another," the King said with a slight pout to his lips. "Come join us, Liam.""I don't think that's such an excellent idea," Liam cautioned."Let loose, Liam. We have company.""Liam hasn't let loose since he escaped his mother's womb," Prince Alexander teased, leaning back in his chair as if he was lounging on a comfortable couch."I'll have you know that I let loose more often than not," Liam retorted, his ears turning a light shade of pink."Oh, really?" Prince Alexander asks, clea
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 224: A Royal Tour
The tour with Prince Alexander had felt like a long, intricate dance through the palace's many wings. I had to hand it to him, he was a pretty good tour guide, although I'd never admit it to him myself.He effortlessly blended humor with informative anecdotes, occasionally flashing one of his cheeky smiles that left me both intrigued and slightly uneasy. I wasn't sure if it was intentional or not, but he could turn his charm on so easily. I didn't want to fall into the trap like I'm sure many others have before me.The weight of his arm against mine felt peculiar. I couldn't tell what kind of body he had under his fine suit, but I'm sure it was impressive.As he guided me past the intricately designed training rooms, Prince Alexander casually mentioned that he often engaged in two or three training sessions a day."That sounds a bit excessive," I remarked, surveying the extensive array of top-notch training equipment that far surpassed Kendrick's modest facility. "Why would you ever n
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 225: The Secret Room
"Thank you for showing me this, Alex. It's... it's truly special," I admitted, my voice reflecting the sincerity of my words.He nodded, appreciating the sentiment. "I wanted you to see a different side of the palace, away from the things you expected and what others see."Prince Alexander flicked a switch, and the room burst into warm illumination.What I initially thought to be an ordinary space revealed itself to be anything but. Dark wooden bookshelves lined the walls, and in the center, a polished desk stood as the room's focal point.There were no windows, no fireplaces—just a chamber bathed in a gentle glow.It suddenly made perfect sense that Prince Alexander would have a room like this to get away from his every day tasks or responsibilities. Sometimes, it helped to decompress in solitude."So, what is this room?" I asked, turning to Prince Alexander, my eyes expressing the confusion that washed over me. "Besides your secret office."His gaze lingered on the room with a mix
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 226: Preparing for Another Royal Day
Alex's words sent a shiver down my spine. The weight of the responsibility he placed on me felt immense. Suddenly, everything felt like too much.Opening a magical book with a spell on it wasn't something I had ever imagined doing, let alone being the key to unlocking its secrets."I don't even know where to begin," I admitted, feeling a mix of apprehension and curiosity.Alex reached out, placing a hand on my shoulder. "I think I know how you can open it.""Really?" I questioned, feeling a flutter in the center of my stomach. "What?""Wait here," Alex said, walking to his office desk. He pulled out a drawer and took out a shiny, silver object. Upon further inspection, I noticed that he was holding a small knife with intricate carvings on it."A knife?" I asked, starting to grow a bit nervous. How was that supposed to help?"In order to open the book, we'll need your blood," Alex explained, rushing toward me with the blade.I jumped back in fear. "You're not cutting me open!""I'm sor
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 227: A Royal Breakfast
"Will Lucas or Kendrick be joining us for dinner?" I asked Miriam.She averted her gaze, declining to answer."Will we see them at least?" I questioned further."I'm sorry. I'm not sure, Miss Shana. I was just ordered to escort you to breakfast."I tried hard to hold back my tongue as Miriam opened my bedroom door and signaled for me to follow her.The sense of mystery and unease lingered as we walked through the grand halls.My palms felt clammy, and I absentmindedly wiped the sweat on the sides of my dress, a nervous habit I couldn't explain.Would dinner with the Prince and King be different without an audience of people? What was it that they wanted to discuss with me that Lucas or Kendrick couldn't be a part of?I swallowed, thinking back to my tour with Prince Alexander—Alex—last night.Did the King possibly know about the book's existence too?As we descended to the bottom floor, Miriam led me to the grand dining room.When she opened the doors, a bright light flooded the room.
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 228: The Alpha King, Prince, and Me
The King must've noticed the change in my demeanor and offered a kind smile. "Shana, I hope you enjoy the breakfast. It's a small token of our hospitality. We're thankful that you're here."I nodded, grateful for the gesture, but the absence of Lucas lingered in the back of my mind.Once my server completed putting items on my plate, I picked up my fork. I began to eat but found it difficult to fully savor the exquisite food spread out before me.Alexander leaned in slightly, his eyes searching mine. "Is something bothering you, Shana?"I hesitated for a moment before deciding to share my feelings. "I was just wondering where Lucas and Kendrick are. Won't they be joining us for breakfast?""No," the King answered simply. "They are off touring the ground of the Ethereal Palace with Liam. They've been up since dawn, and had breakfast much earlier this morning."I gave a tight smile, trying to hide my disappointment. It seemed everyone had a schedule, not just me.A whirlwind of emotions
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 229: A Taste of Sweetness
Prince Alexander leaned in slightly, his eyes locking with mine. "You seem to be enjoying the tea. It's a rare blend made from flowers found only in the palace gardens.""Really?" I replied, genuinely intrigued by the unique flavor. Maybe that's why I was enjoying it so much."It's one of my personal favorites," the King chimed in. "We thought you might appreciate it."The King's words snagged on my ears, and I couldn't help but look at his own glass. The liquid inside was a different shade, meaning he wasn't drinking the same thing as me.I looked at the Prince's glass and noticed the same thing.That's odd. If the King enjoyed the tea so much, why wasn't he drinking it himself?The server returned to my side, with a seemingly endless supply of the mysterious tea. He offered to refill my drink for a third time."I'm okay, thank you," I politely declined, but the server ignored my words and poured the drink anyway.I frowned, feeling a spike of anxiety all of a sudden. Why was the tea
