The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 67: Beach Day
Our makeshift beach camp was a sight for all to behold—beach towels, umbrellas, and an array of snacks and drinks sprawled out in a perfect semi-circle.I was ready to soak in the sun and close my eyes while listening to the waves, but the moment Victoria's voice piped up, my anticipation clashed with my insecurities."Lucas, could you be a dear and help me by putting some sunscreen on my back?" Victoria's voice dripped with sugary sweetness.I sat up from the towel I had just laid down on, using my hand as a visor to cover the sun from my gaze.My eyes involuntarily darted to Lucas, who agreed to Victoria's request with a polite smile.My stomach churned with a strange mix of envy and annoyance.Ugh, I didn't want to watch this.I quickly averted my eyes, pretending to be fascinated by the seagulls flying above me instead.Jealousy was not a trait I was proud of, and I wasn't about to show it.But I was a little hard to ignore when the two of them were standing right next to me.Cou
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 68: Making New Friends
"Alright, don't take this the wrong way," Victoria began, her tone curiously measured, "but I'm a little surprised that you've been friends with James and Lucas since childhood."Emily chimed in, a knowing smile curving her lips. "Yeah, with most of my childhood friends—well—besides Victoria, of course, I've lost touch with all of them."I chuckled, shifting my gaze between the two of them."Well, it's actually a funny story," I said, reminiscing about the crazy twists and turns that had brought Lucas and me back together.We'd been chatting for a while now, and I realized that time had slipped away.The boys had been playing with the ball, lost in their world of competitiveness, while we were deep into a more comfortable web of conversation.It was interesting—what they had said earlier about the difference in talking with a group of girls versus boys was proving to be quite true.It was so much more fun with girls.No offense to James and Lucas, of course.There are only so many ti
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 69: Girl Power
The store was only a short walk down the beach, and the sun was slowly starting to set.As it painted the horizon with hues of dark orange and pink, our laughter echoed as we strolled along the sandy path to a nearby grocery store."You almost hit him in the eye!" Emily giggled as we talked about James's face from moments ago. "He looked terrified.""Ugh, only for a second!" Victoria whined. "Stupid Alpha males and their quick reflexes.""Hey, I think you just got James on a good day," I commented. "Usually, his reflections are subpar.""Oh trust me," Victoria said with an evil smile forming on her face. "I plan to get my revenge.""Please don't make that face," Emily whispered, hiding behind me. "It scares me when you're angry.""I'm not angry, just determined." Victoria swung her hair over her shoulder as she strutted in front of us.Emily turned to me, shaking her head before following after her. I smiled as I tagged along.When we finally reached the grocery store, I realized that
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 70: Business Builds Fake Relationships
The next day, we decided to go to the beach and hopefully forget all about the day before.I still felt so horrible about what had happened to Victoria, and I could tell she was just trying to forget all about it, so I didn't bring it up.Thankfully, the beach was the perfect distraction.It stretched out before us like an endless canvas, the sound of waves providing calmness to our day. The sun was out, but it wasn't too hot outside. It was as if we were blessed with the perfect weather today.Everything seemed to feel that way until the tension slowly crept into our midst.Lucas's phone buzzed, shattering the calm like a rock thrown into a still pond.When he glanced down at his phone, his face shifted from unbothered to concerned. He frowned as he picked up the phone, "Hello?"As he listened to the voice on the other end, his frown only deepened. "Yes, sir. I'm sorry."Immediately, I realized it was Kendrick. No wonder his face had turned so sour.A cloud seemed to form over his fe
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 71: The Alpha-Wars
James's idea for everyone to drink ended up being one of the best ideas he'd ever had.By the time the sun was beginning to decline into the horizon, we were all feeling comfortably content.Everything was funny and stories floated out of our mouths carelessly.It was safe to assume that everyone was buzzed, especially James who became even more talkative and bubbly -- if that's even possible."Should we head back?" Lucas asked, pointing out how the sky was starting to turn golden orange. "I'm starving.""Hey!" Lucas jumped up, slinging an arm over Lucas's shoulder. "That's my line!"Our laughter from the beach still echoed in the air as we packed up our things and walked back to the beach house.I couldn't wait to get all the sand off my body, shower, and put on clean clothes. There really was no better feeling than spending all day in the sun and cleaning yourself afterward.I was already imagining the amazing sleep I would get tonight.Lucas unlocked the back door as we filtered in
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 72: Sun, Beach, and Sand
The next morning, I woke to the sun blinding my eyes through the open blinds. However, I didn't mind.How could I when the view outside my window was crystal blue water and pearly white sand?I wished I could wake up to a view like this forever. I guess James had a point when he said he'd want to buy a house like this someday. It was the perfect place to escape from reality and just feel completely at peace.As I gazed out at the clear waves, I realized that two days had already passed by and I still hadn't spent any time catching up with Lucas.I mean, don't get me wrong, we'd hung out in a group with everyone else on the beach or at the beach house during meals... but we haven't had any quality time together just the two of us.We were only here for another three days and I wasn't sure if there'd be any opportunity for us to spend that time together.I decided that I would make it my mission today to steal a moment with Lucas, away from everyone else.Yesterday, he seemed tense afte
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 73: Finding True Love
For dinner later that day, we decided to visit the busy little beach town. It was bustling with activity as we stepped into the lively restaurant, and I was surprised to see so many people out.Everyone was dressed in breathable clothing, like flowy summer dresses or white linens.I was looking forward to enjoying a delicious dinner with all of my friends, old and new. As much as I loved James's cooking over the past few days, I was ready to just have a meal where all of us could relax without dirtying up the kitchen.We found a cozy corner table, and as fate would have it, the seating arrangements hadn't changed. James was once again next to Victoria and Emily, and I couldn't help but wonder if their conversations would result in another clash.After their movie this morning, I thought that they had settled their differences once and for all, but unsurprisingly, the two of them got into another argument. Except then, they were fighting over the remote.After about forty-five minutes
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 74: The Hiking Challenge
At the restaurant last night, we overheard multiple locals mentioning a nearby trail with waterfalls and stunning views of the ocean.So today, the five of us decided to take a break from the beach and go on a hike.It was midday, the hottest time of the day, and we weren't even five minutes into the hike when James started complaining about his sore muscles."Ugh, why does this hike have to be uphill?" he whined, pouting excessively. "My thighs are killing me.""It's not even that bad," Victoria rolled her eyes at him. "This is what you get for eating all our food and not exercising after.""Are you calling me fat, Vic?" James fake gasped, clutching a hand at his chest.Although, the gasp might've been real due to the way he was currently struggling to breathe from walking so much.Thinking about Victoria's comment, I figured that there's she actually thought that James was overweight. Despite eating like an entire family of four, James was incredibly in shape. It was almost unfair h

TWO MONTHS LATERThe sun cast a warm glow over the royal gardens of the Ethereal Palace as Lucas and I stood across from each other, ready to exchange our vows in front of our closest friends and family.Grandma Jo, Victoria, and James stood by our sides, along with King Alex, Professor Black, and Liam. Alex actually insisted on officiating our wedding which took some convincing. Lucas wasn't too keen on the idea."Imagine being able to tell people that the Alpha King was the one who married you two," Alex had said, wiggling his eyebrows at Lucas. "Doesn't that make for a good story?"Lucas rolled his eyes playfully. "Yeah, a story we'd have to explain for the rest of our lives. No thanks."I chuckled, patting Alex on the shoulder. "I think it's a fantastic idea, Your Majesty."Alex grinned, his eyes twinkling with mischief. "I know, isn't it? I do love a good story. Perhaps I'll write a book about it."Lucas shot me a sideways glance, a playful glint in his eye. "I don't know about y
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 298: Forever and Ever
I had the brilliant idea of surprising Lucas will all the new skills I had learned.I'd been so busy study, that I was always too tired when I got home.Showing him the magic I had learned was the best way for me to show him just how much I had grown. With a quick spell and a flick of my wrist, I conjured a portal right in our living room, ready to transport myself back home.As I stepped through the portal, the familiar rush of energy enveloped me, and with a flourish, I emerged in our cozy living room."Lucas?" I called out, unable to contain my excitement.Lucas, who had been engrossed in studying for his upcoming exams, jumped in surprise at the sound of my voice. "Shana? What... How did you... What's going on?"I couldn't help but laugh at his bewildered expression. "Surprise!" I exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear.His eyes widened in disbelief as he took in the sight of me standing there, a portal shimmering behind me. "Shana, that's incredible! How did you do that?""I've been
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 297: Spells, Magic, and Portals
Studying the ancient text of the White Wolf book became my daily ritual.With each passing day, I delved deeper into its pages, absorbing the knowledge and wisdom it held within.When I had told Lucas that the book was finally unlocked, he was ecstatic, and recommended that Professor Black teach me more.Thanks to Lucas, Professor Black had become somewhat of a teacher, helping me decipher the intricate spells and teachings hidden within its ancient script.Even though he couldn't see the pages himself, I practiced rewriting and retracing everything for him to the best of my ability so that he could help me."Professor Black, I need your help with this passage," I'd say, flipping through the pages of the book as he leaned in to listen attentively. Together, we would dissect the ancient text, discussing its implications and applications in our world.His involvement in my studies caused him to visit the palace much more frequently.Alex quickly recognized the value of having Professor
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 296: The Future for a White Wolf
I stood before the locked White Wolf book, a sense of determination washed over me.This was the moment I had been waiting for—a chance to unlock the secrets hidden within its pages and delve into the mysteries of my life.This book had the ability to tell me more about who I was and what I was meant to do.Suddenly, all the trials and tribulations that I had been through in the past year felt worth it for this moment. I deserved this. I deserved to know who I was.With Alex by my side, I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what was to come. This was no ordinary book—it held the key to unlocking my true potential as the chosen White Wolf."Are you ready?" Alex asked, his voice filled with anticipation.I nodded, my heart pounding with excitement."You've got this, Shana," he said, his voice filled with confidence. "You were born for this moment.""Let's do this."With a steady hand, Alex pricked his finger, drawing a small drop of blood. I did the same, allowing a single tear to f
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 295: The Best Surprise
As I stepped into the grand halls of the palace, I couldn't shake the feeling of anticipation swirling within me.King Alexander had called me here, promising a surprise, and I couldn't help but wonder what it could be.It wasn't unusual for him to call me to the palace, but what he had said over the phone had me nervous."Liam's going to come pick you up to take you to the palace. I have a huge surprise for you," he had said."I hate surprises," I replied, already starting to chew on my bottom lip."Too bad," Alex said and I could practically see the smile that was on his lips. "See you soon!"As I awaited Liam's arrival, my mind raced with nervousness.Surprises were not my forte, especially when they involved King Alexander.He was a wild card and always seemed to be up to no good.Yet, despite my apprehension and hesitation, there was a flicker of excitement building within me.What could Alex have planned for me that needed to be such a secret?When Liam finally arrived, I couldn
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 294: New Role in the Palace
A FEW MONTHS LATERThe warm breeze brushed against my skin as I made my way through the palace gardens, the vibrant colors of the flowers blooming all around me.Even though Alex had called the royal gardens overrated, it was my favorite place here.I always found myself walking through the rows and bushes of flowers.It had been a few months since the tumultuous events that had changed the course of our lives, and yet, the memories still felt fresh in my mind.Despite not moving into the palace, I found myself spending more and more time there, drawn by the sense of duty and responsibility that now rested on my shoulders.As King Alexander's right hand, along with Liam, I had taken on a new role within the kingdom, providing support and guidance to the young monarch as he navigated the challenges of ruling a kingdom.The transition hadn't been easy, but together, we had managed to weather the storm, leaning on each other for support as we forged ahead.As White Wolf, I commanded a le

I rushed through the hospital corridors, my heart pounding in my chest as I navigated my way to the room where Lucas and Kendrick were.The sound of my footsteps echoed off the sterile walls, each step bringing me closer to the moment I had been anxiously awaiting.Finally, I reached the door and pushed it open, stepping inside to find Lucas sitting beside his father's bed.Relief flooded through me as I saw Kendrick. His eyes were closed, but I could tell that he was just asleep and not completely unconscious as the machines beeped steadily."Lucas, I'm here," I said softly, crossing the room to stand beside him. "I got your text. How's he doing?"Lucas looked up at me, a grateful smile spreading across his face as he stood up. "Shana? What are you doing here?""What do you mean?" I asked with a frown. "I had to come as soon as I could once I found out he was awake. Are you okay?""I'm so glad you're here," he replied, his voice filled with emotion. He pulled me into a hug and I sque
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 292: Reconnecting with Family
LUCAS POV "Graduation is almost here and I want to go to Hawking University to play hockey. It's what I've always wanted," I continued, hoping my father could finally understand things from my point of view.But my father's expression darkened, a shadow of disappointment crossing his features as he shook his head slowly."Lucas, I've spent my life building this company," he said, his voice tinged with frustration. "I thought I could count on you to carry on the legacy."I couldn't help feeling a surge of guilt wash over me as I struggled to find the right words to express my feelings."I appreciate your confidence in me, father," I replied, my voice trembling slightly. "It's been difficult navigating everything since you've been gone, but I feel as though I was able to handle it because of everything you've taught me. But having this experience, I'm not sure if I'm fully ready to commit to such a big responsibility."My father listened as I poured out my heart, his expression unreada
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 291: Awake and Healthy
LUCAS POV My phone rang with an unfamiliar number, and my heart skipped a beat as I answered it, the anticipation clawing at the edges of my mind.I had gotten used to answering unknown callers over the past few weeks ever since I took over the business for my father. He got far more calls than I imagined, and many of them were scammers trying to steal information from him.I was already exhausted, ready to go home for the day. I didn't want to deal with any more problems today, and that included talking to a stranger on the phone that just wanted to play games with me."Hello?" I said, my voice tight with apprehension."L-Lucas?" came the hesitant voice on the other end of the line. The voice cleared. "Hello, is this Lucas Busch?""This is he," I replied, ready to give this person a piece of my mind. "Is there something I can help you with?""Yes, I'm your father's doctor and I have some news to share with you."I stilled, hearing the words, hoping that it wasn't a prank.My father
