All Chapters of The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

The abrupt halt of the SUV left me disoriented, my surroundings blurred for a moment before snapping into focus. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks as I saw Kendrick sitting in the vehicle, his eyes locked onto mine with a sinister intensity.I pushed my hair out of my fair, going into a sitting position when I noticed movement from beside Kendrick. Lucas sat there, his blue eyes piercing and displaying a wide range of emotions. Anger, confusion, worry.I couldn't help but blurt out my thoughts."What the hell is going on?" I exclaimed, my voice edged with a mix of confusion and fear.As I turned, my gaze met Lucas's again, and the knot in my stomach tightened. Why was he in this SUV with his father, and why had they thrown me in here like this?I had just left my meeting with the relator. It had been difficult to go through the house, room by room and recounting all of the memories that I would be saying goodbye to.As hard as it was, I knew it had to be done. Once the house

Kendrick dropped the bombshell, leaving Lucas and me staring at each other in disbelief.A plan? That was never a good thing coming from Kendrick."What kind of plan?" Lucas questioned his father, throwing a curious glance in his direction."We need to leave as soon as possible. We can't keep the King waiting. That means the two of you will need to miss school in the process," Kendrick explained."We?" I asked, looking between him and Lucas. "Who's 'we' exactly?""You, Lucas, and I are going to the palace." Kendrick blinked at me. "I'll also be bringing my entire security personnel and assistants."The Alpha King's palace? It sounded like something out of a fantastical story, not a destination for an ordinary girl like me."The palace..." My voice trailed off as I thought about what my next few days could look like. "But, what about school? We can't just miss it."I'd been out of school for a week now due to the passing of my father, and I knew the dean was fine with that. However, I

The airport sprawled before us as Kendrick's SUV glided through a discreet entrance. The road led us to a sleek private jet that awaited our departure.The private jet was more massive than I could have imagined, a true sign of the wealth that Kendrick had amassed.Sometimes, I forgot just how rich Lucas's father was. I forgot that he belonged to one of the wealthiest alpha families.It must've been because Lucas carried himself so differently than one would expect. He never flaunted his wealth, and instead, chose to act like a normal teenager.Kendrick, on the other hand, was every bit the businessman, and nobody would ever mistake him for being a commoner. He practically oozed luxury.As we stepped out of the car, the plane's staff immediately went to retrieve our luggage.They bowed their heads, greeting us with practiced courtesy.I felt a little uncomfortable by their welcome. They were treating us as if we were royalty.Lucas must've noticed my hesitation because he put a hand o

My gaze shifted away from the window as I felt eyes on me.Kendrick took a sip of his alcohol glass, his eyes locked with mine. "The Alpha King has requested private time with you, Shana. You must make a good impression."My stomach fluttered nervously at the mention of being alone with the Alpha King. What did he want to discuss in private? What could he possibly see in me that required one-on-one attention?Lucas, sensing my unease, jumped in. "What does the Alpha King want with Shana?"Kendrick glanced at his son, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. "He isn't looking for a wife, Lucas. You can relax.""Well, then why does he need to spend alone time with her?" Lucas asked. "Whatever he needs to talk to Shana about, he can do in front of me.""If the King wishes to speak with Shana alone, then so be it." Kendrick swirled his glass around in his hand.Lucas's protective gaze lingered on me, his jaw tense. "I don't want her spending time alone with him."The intensity in Lucas's voic

As another hour passed, Kendrick retreated to the back of the plane for a series of phone calls.It finally allowed a chance for Lucas and I to delve into our thoughts and emotions without having Kendrick breathing down our necks or keeping a close eye on us."I feel like I'm in a dream," I admitted to Lucas, my voice a hushed whisper amidst the subdued ambiance of the private jet. "Everything is happening so fast. It's like a whirlwind after my father's passing, and now... all this."Lucas sighed, a heavy burden etched across his face. "I'm sorry, Shana. My father shouldn't have immediately taken your information to the Alpha King. It's all too much, too soon."Despite the turmoil within me, I found myself offering a small smile. "You don't have to apologize for your father. I know how he is, and I shouldn't have expected anything less. I knew this would all come out eventually.""You've had to deal with so much lately, you didn't need another thing added to your plate.""I know he h
