All Chapters of The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

"My father knows you're the most important thing to me," Lucas explained as the car moved down the road quickly, "I needed to convince him that I was serious about wanting to return, and that it wasn't just for you."I furrowed my brow, the complexity of this situation making it difficult for me to see the full picture. "How are you going to be able to convince him of that?""That's exactly why I told him I wanted to move back home, so that he could keep a closer eye on me. That part was all my idea," Lucas said, a hint of determination in his voice.As we drove on, I couldn't help but try to view the situation through Kendrick's perspective. If he wanted to regain control over Lucas, he would need him close and free from any distractions, like Grandma Jo, me, or hockey.I couldn't lie, it sounded like a solid plan. Or at least, a solid start."Tell me your plan," I urged, needing to understand his reasoning more clearly."My father thinks I'll end our relationship, but we'll just kee

The school days had blurred together into a frustrating, mundane rhythm.It had already been a week since Lucas had moved back in with Kendrick. It was a week filled with distance and silence.I hadn't seen much of Lucas since he was trying not to be seen with me at school if fear of his father finding out. It was as if he had vanished into thin air. The only time we talked anymore was over the phone, a few texts here and there.I wanted to call him last night, but he didn't want to risk his father hearing us. It was frustrating and annoying being unable to actually communicate with him. And even though Lucas was doing all of this for me, it felt like he was slowly slipping away.It felt like we were losing what we had just gained.It seemed as if the whole school had taken notice in our relationship shift as well. I couldn't help but feel that everyone at school had already assumed we'd broken up, and that irritated me to no end.They would still stare and whisper, but this time it w

"No, Shana, you're the first person I've told." James shook his head at my question, his eyes filling with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. "We want to keep it under wraps for now. I don't even know if Victoria told Emily."Emily was Victoria's best friend who had also been at the beach house with us.Still, James's revelation left me feeling overly excited, and naturally, a whirlwind of questions filled my mind.I couldn't help but ask, my analytical nature got the better of me as I pressed James for details."So," I said. "Spill the beans. I want to know everything. How did it happen?""What?" James frowned. "The kiss?""Yes!" I exclaimed. "The kiss. I want to know every single detail. When did it happen? How was it? Did it happen more than once? Did—""Shana... slow down." James put a hand on either side of my shoulders, steadying me."I'm sorry, I'm just so excited for you! This is big news.""I know, and I'm so glad you're being a good supportive friend, but you're asking

Feeling extremely uncomfortable by the strange man, I tried to assert myself and move out of his way, but he followed me.When I went to move again, he grabbed ahold of my shoulders pushing me to the side of the building where the shadows provided a bit more privacy."Let me go!" I shouted, trying to free myself from his grasp, but his grip was too tight.He shoved me roughly into the hard wall and kept his hands on me to make sure that I wouldn't turn back and run.A sense of panic took over me as I wondered what this man wanted to do with me. I had done nothing wrong, and it didn't seem like he worked for Kendrick.I wasn't even sure if he knew who I was.But maybe, just maybe... Kendrick had hired someone to keep an eye on me. What if this was his way of trying to keep me and Lucas apart? What if this man was trying to stop me from talking to Lucas?As I gazed up at the man, his blue eyes pierced into my soul and I felt a shiver creep down my spine, making me feel slightly on edge.

"I don't know what you're planning, but please, leave Lucas out of it," I pleaded again, hoping Edwin would listen to me for once. "Trust me, he's been through enough already, and I don't want to see him get hurt."Edwin's laughter was cold and hollow as he responded, "You don't need to worry about Lucas, Shana. He's an alpha male. He's perfectly capable of taking care of himself... Just remember to watch your own back. Wolfless need the most help."With that, he turned and walked away, disappearing back toward the parking lot as if he were never there in the first place.I was left standing alone in the dimly lit alley, my thoughts in a wild turmoil.I didn't want to admit it, but Edwin's comments had let doubt and uncertainty fester within me. I couldn't help but question what it all meant.I was a firm believer in things happening for a reason. So, why would Edwin's warning benefit me? Did I really need to be wary of Lucas and his family?But speculating things wasn't going to get
