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
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 233: A Decision to Make
The notion of becoming a female warrior for the werewolf kingdom felt like an unexpected twist in my life's narrative. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, glancing between the Alpha King and Prince Alexander."Your Highnesses, I appreciate the offer, but I still need to finish high school. I can't just leave everything behind and become a warrior."The Alpha King's eyes scrutinized me, and for a moment, I thought I saw a glint of disappointment. "Shana, we can arrange for your education here. Consider this palace your university. We can provide you with the necessary resources, and you'll receive the finest education while training to become a formidable warrior."His words hung in the air, and I felt the weight of his expectation."I'm sorry, but I'm not just going to drop my entire life and start a new school when I only have a few months left at Shadow High," I said, my voice feeling shaky.Not only was the notion absurd, but I didn't trust the Alpha King after what he had done. If
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 234: The Royal Gardens
The Alpha King, with a curt nod, excused himself from our conversation, claiming pressing matters that require his attention.As he departed, I couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and lingering apprehension.Prince Alexander, ever the annoying and unserious host, stepped forward, "Well, I guess now is the perfect time for me to take you on a tour of the royal gardens."As much as I didn't want to go anywhere privately with the Prince, I wanted to experience the royal gardens for myself and see what the fuss was about. Glancing at the flowers out of the window just didn't seem like enough time to enjoy them."Shall we, Shana?" he says, extending his arm with an easy smile.I eyed his gesture cautiously, torn between skepticism and a reluctant acknowledgment of his charm. His green eyes were a mixture of mischief and playfulness.He eyed me skeptically, nudging for me to take his arm.After a moment's hesitation, I tentatively accepted, and we began to stroll toward the vibrant expan
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 235: Fate and the Locked Book
I tried to drown out my thoughts and burning questions, instead deciding to focus on the scenery around me.The royal garden embraced us with its symphony of colors and fragrances as Prince Alexander plucked a rose effortlessly from a nearby bush. I couldn't help but scold him for killing the delicate flower, my voice tinged with reproach."Must you destroy the beauty around you?" I asked, eyeing the plucked rose with a touch of sadness.Prince Alexander merely shrugged, twirling the rose stem between his fingers. "In the grand scheme of things, a single rose won't be missed. They bloom again, Shana. It isn't truly dead."I sighed, trying to ignore his poetic way of looking at things. It only reminded me that I was almost truly dead a mere two hours ago."What other tricks do you have planned for my visit?" I inquired with a hint of wariness in my voice. "I feel as if I need to walk around with eyes in the back of my head now.""Don't worry. Our tricks are done," he assured me. "Now,
