Lucas POV

Victoria and I fell silent as the three parents re-entered the room. I wasn't surprised to see that the anger hadn't dissipated. If anything, they looked even more disappointed now than before.

The sharp edge to their smiles betrayed their true feelings.

"Lucas, sweetie, let's think about the benefits of keeping this engagement intact," Victoria's mother's voice was honeyed, laced with calculated kindness. "We realized that we may have been a bit harsh with you from the start. If that's what all of this is about, then we're willing to accommodate things."

A bit harsh? That was the understatement of the century.

Victoria's parents haven't liked me from the start, that much was clear, and they weren't going to start liking me now either.

I knew they were only making this offer because they needed my father's name and business more than we needed theirs. This marriage contract benefits their business more than ours.

I exchanged a glance with Victoria who was wearing an expressi

    Shana POV"He's still not here yet?" James asked as he entered the cozy little coffee shop the next morning.I was currently nursing a cup of warm coffee, and anxiously looking toward the front door for a few seconds."No, he's not here yet," I said, taking a sip of my coffee. "He's probably running a bit late."James sighed, pulling out the chair across from me. "Well, he better hurry up. I'm dying to hear what happened."James and I spent the whole night worrying about Lucas and waiting for some kind of news. After he called me, he called James, and then James texted me immediately: WTF???!!!All of us had a restless night, worrying and wondering what was going on in Lucas's world.As if he'd just heard us talking about him, the door to the coffee shop jingled, and there he was. Lucas walked inside with his usual cool swagger, but if you knew him well—like I did—you'd be able to see the turmoil that was beneath the surface."Dude, we were just talking about you," James said as Lucas

    I jumped, surprised that Kendrick had heard us coming.He wore a permanent glare as his eyes skimmed over James and I. When his eyes met Lucas's, they hardened even further."Didn't I tell you I didn't want you here?" Kendrick's voice dripped with anger and disgust. "You've got some nerve to show your face here again.""I forgot something," Lucas explained, keeping his body tight. "I'll be out of your hands in the blink of an eye."It was clear that he was trying to appear unaffected by his father's overwhelming power.Kendrick sneered and I watched as his fingers tightened around the doorframe. "Why did you bring them with you?""Dad—" Lucas started to say, but his father cut him off with a low growl."Were these two a part of your little rebellious plan to ruin your entire future?" He shook his head. "I told you to avoid them. I told you to spend your time with better—more important friends. Not these rodents..."I stiffened in shock, stealing a glance at James who was flaring his n

    Lucas POVThe days leading up to the hockey game against the Serpents had been a lot of hard work and preparation.I couldn't even remember the last time our team had worked this hard to ensure a win.My team, the Dragons, were more united than ever. And I couldn't help but think a small part of that was due to the sudden shift in my life.Practices were intense, with every player giving their all. I took pride in watching my teammates improve, stepping up their game, and contributing their best efforts.As their captain, I couldn't have been prouder. I also couldn't believe that we could've always been this way if I would've learned to stand up for myself earlier on...I stood on the sidelines, watching the practice unfold."Great job, Sam! Keep up the momentum!" I shouted, my voice carrying over the ice. Sam, one of our smallest, had just executed a perfect slap shot that had our goalie diving to make a save.If you would've seen him play a month or two ago, he would've never been a

    The day of the game against the Dragons and the Serpents had finally arrived. Excitement bubbled within me as I pulled on my Dragons jersey, the one that had Lucas's name and number on the back.The anticipation was killing me, and it seemed to be reflected in the charged energy around me as I walked inside the hockey stadium at Hollow High.This was the game that would determine the Dragon's place in the championships, and I had no doubt that Shadow High's team, led by Lucas, would give it their all.My phone buzzed with a text notification, and I glanced down to see it was from Lucas.Lucas: I'll be a bit late for the game. See you there!I frowned, wondering why he wasn't with the other players yet. Lucas was never late. I didn't think too much about it, and sent him a simple reply of, "See you at the game!" and headed to the arena with James.As the minutes ticked by and the game time drew closer, I began to feel a sense of unease.Lucas not showing up was unlike him, especially f

But it wouldn't be enough to stop me.With all my strength, I lunged forward, my fists a blur of precision and power. The impact of my blows reverberated through the door, and I could practically feel the surge of energy coursing through my veins.I'd been training for most of my life. There's no way I couldn't get through this.With one final push, the door gave in and opened... Or more like it fell apart.The guard stumbled back, surprise and fear evident in his eyes. But I didn't allow him a chance to regain his composure.I quickly got to my feet and kicked the bottom of his feet to bring him crashing to the ground.

But I don't think anyone was as excited as James."Hell yeah! Drinks on me tonight, guys!" James cheered for his teammates.All of them began to holler before Lucas stepped in, making all of them go silent."Nobody is drinking anything tonight," Lucas said like a stern father. All the players booed him."Come on, captain!" One of the guys pouted. "We just kicked ass out there!""Yeah, we all deserve to celebrate!" Sam shouted. "Especially you, Lucas. You're the one who helped us get there."They all batted their lashes and kept chanting 'please' before Lucas finally caved in."Okay, okay. Fine, you guys can go," Lucas said, leaving all the players cheering.James high-fived Sam just as Lucas said, "Except for you, James."James sagged his shoulders, stomping hi

    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

    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

    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

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

    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

    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

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

    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
