All Chapters of The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

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 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

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,

As we entered my room, the atmosphere shifted. The afternoon sun was shining through the window, making the room bright. It was a complete contrast to the way I was feeling on the inside.I closed the door behind us, muffling any potential eavesdropping from the guards standing just outside."Now, tell us what happened during breakfast," Lucas urged, his eyes fixed on mine.I took a deep breath, about to recount the events that had unfolded earlier when there was a loud knock at my door.I jumped, turning to see who had interrupted us.The door to my room creaked open, revealing Miriam standing in the hallway. She raised an eyebrow at me as she looked at Kendrick and Lucas standing in my room."Miss Shana, is everything alright?" she asked curiously.I nodded, "Yes, Miriam. Everything is fine. Could you please give us some privacy?" I requested, hoping that she would oblige.She nodded, her expression guarded. "Of course, miss. If you need anything, just call."As the door closed behi

There was another knock at my door and Miriam's head peaked in, interrupting our quiet moment."I apologize Miss Shana, but the King has requested to see you again," Miriam said, her eyes looking between Lucas and I.I couldn't help but frown, confused as to why the King would want another meeting with me so soon, but I agreed.I turned to Lucas with a small smile and he leaned in, giving me a lingering kiss goodbye."Be careful," he whispered against my lips, quiet enough so that Miriam wouldn't hear.I nodded and got up to follow Miriam downstairs.This time, Miriam led me in a different direction, guiding me toward the North Wing where the royal family resided. My footsteps echoed through the empty halls, and I couldn't shake the feeling of entering a realm shrouded in mystery.I knew that many people weren't allowed to travel in this wing, and I felt like an intruder.Miriam was silent as she walked ahead of me down a long hallway adorned with intricate tapestries.
