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
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 230: Trusting the Prince
Unable to shake off the unsettling feeling from the whole breakfast ordeal, I pushed the remaining food on my plate around without any appetite.Paranoia had decided to take root, and every glance from the two of them felt like a potential trap.I felt used and ashamed. Why had I been so trusting when they clearly hadn't trusted me?I've let all of Kendrick's talk of respect cloud my judgment. I didn't know anything about the King or Prince, and now I was even more confused.The two of them seemed kind, funny, and even somewhat like a normal family.But now, after they admitted to poisoning me, there was no way I could trust them.Even if it didn't harm me, what if it would have? What would they have done then?Alex—no—Prince Alexander, he wasn't my friend. I wasn't going to address him as such anymore.Prince Alexander must have noticed my change in mood because I saw how he watched me carefully out of the corner of his eye. However, I refused to give in and make eye contact. He wasn
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 231: The Reason
As I sat in the opulent sitting room, I watched the Alpha King stir a sugar cube in his tea.It struck me as oddly normal, a simple action that seemed out of place in the midst of the circumstances surrounding our conversation.Prince Alexander sat next to his father with a bored expression on his face as he popped a small pastry into his mouth.There were a lot of delicious looking treats in front of us, and if James were here, he'd scold me for not eating any. However, after breakfast, I wasn't sure if I wanted to eat or drink anything else given to me."Are you still shaken up about breakfast?" The Alpha King asked bluntly, giving me an intense stare. "I hope you understand why I did what I had to do.""You don't trust me," I said plainly, not sure how else I could defend myself. "I've only been honest with you.""Yes, well, I've been deceived in the past. Once you've been burned, you'll do anything to make sure that doesn't happen again," he sighed, his gaze momentarily shifting t
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 232: The Future to Come
I nodded, absorbing the gravity of the King's words.He was right, of course.Eventually, people would find out what I was and life would get a million times more difficult for me. And as much as it felt like this was all about me, it wasn't.Being the White Wolf could never be a single, personal experience. I had a role to play.The burden of that knowledge intensified, and the realization dawned on me that my journey was about more than personal discovery.Who I am means something to people.The Alpha King leaned back in his chair, his gaze assessing me with a mix of wisdom and determination. "Your training, Shana, will cover a wide variety of goals. We aim to unlock the full potential of your abilities as the White Wolf. It's not just about physical strength. It's about mastering the intricate connection between your human and wolf forms."He gestured towards Prince Alexander, who sat across from me with an air of calm confidence."Alex has undergone rigorous training, and he'll be
