The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 52: Rumor Busting
Lucas gently took my hand and led me away from the dance floor, guiding me through the crowded dance floor toward a more secluded area.As we walked, I could feel the warmth of his hand in mine which offered some comfort amidst the swirling emotions inside of me.Finally finding a quieter spot, Lucas pulled me close, wrapping his arms around me in a comforting embrace."You can tell me anything, Shana," he whispered, his voice filled with concern. "I hate seeing you upset."I took a deep breath, trying to steady myself. I didn't want to burden him with the hurtful words I had overheard, but I also knew that keeping it to myself would only weigh me down further."There were some girls in the restroom, and they were talking about me," I admitted, my voice trembling slightly. "They said horrible things--""What did they say?" Lucas asked his grip on me tightening as he listened to my words."Just bringing up that I'm wolfless, as usual. But they were also questioning why you would be wit
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 53: Uncomfortable Speeches
As Lucas made his way to the stage, I watched him with admiration. A wall of nerves hit me as he took the stage, but it was short-lived. Once he approached the microphone, he looked completely confident.A hush fell over the crowd as everyone was suddenly eager to hear what the school's star athlete and son of a top billionaire Alpha had to say."Good evening, everyone," Lucas began, his voice projecting authority. "I'm sure most of you know that I'm the student body representative, and holding such a title requires me to make a speech for you tonight."My eyes turned to look at the dean who was standing off to the side of the stage. He was watching Lucas carefully, and I wondered if he thought Lucas would say something to get the school in further trouble.But I didn't think Lucas would say anything about the events from the past week since the situation with Jessica had already been handled."Tonight, I stand before you not just as an Alpha, but as someone who deeply cares about thi
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 54: An Unexpected Encounter
Just as everything felt like it would be unbearable, James appeared in the sea of people, making his way over to us."Oh, there's James!" I said to Lucas, hitting his arm to get his attention.James waved at us as he made his way over to our table. He wore a sleek, black suit that fit him perfectly, and I couldn't help but be shocked at how polished and professional he looked.It was weird in a good way – a stark contrast to his usual laid-back and goofy demeanor."Hey, guys!" he greeted us with a grin. "Dang, you both clean up pretty nicely."Lucas chuckled and replied, "Thanks, James. You're looking sharp yourself.""Yeah, who knew James could rock a suit so well?" I teased, earning a playful glare from him."I clean up nicely when I want to," James said, feigning seriousness before breaking into a grin.We all laughed, and the tension from earlier seemed to dissipate. It felt good to be around friends who could always bring a sense of lightness to an otherwise overwhelming night."
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 55: An Unexpected Encounter
My heart sank as I processed the shocking revelation.Lucas had a fiancée, and it seemed like he hadn't mentioned her to either James or me. The surprise on James's face mirrored my own.Shocked, confused, and a little bit angry."Hi, I'm James," he introduced himself, extending his hand to Victoria.It was so like James to still be kind to people even if he wasn't exactly in a good mood at the moment.But Lucas's fiancée barely glanced at him, her attention was solely fixed on Lucas. "What have you been up to? I haven't seen you at any of the Alpha parties or events."Lucas's smile was strained as he said, "I've been busy, Victoria."Victoria? So, that was her name...I tried to think if I'd ever heard her name before, but it didn't ring any bells.And she was also from an Alpha family. I wondered what school she went to."Is it because of hockey?" Victoria asked. "I'm sure it's difficult being in charge of an entire team of wolves."Her laugh was deep and sensual as she said, "Boys
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 56: The Other Woman
“It’s just that Lucas doesn’t like girls who are all skin and bones.” Victoria’s words played in my mind on repeat.The sting of embarrassment on my cheeks is impossible to hide.As Victoria's cruel words hung in the air, James couldn't hold back any longer.As Victoria's awful words hung in the air, James wasn't able to hold back any longer. He stepped forward, moving to stand beside me, his voice firm and unwavering."That's enough!" he said, his eyes locked with Victoria's. "You've been nothing but horrible the second you walked over here, and I won't let you talk to Shana like that."Victoria scoffed, brushing off his comment as if it didn't matter. "Oh, lighten up, James! I was just having some fun," she said, not bothered by the tension she had caused. "Besides, Shana doesn't look too bothered by my observation, do you?"I glared at her, feeling my fists tightened in my lap. As much as I didn't want to admit that her words hurt-- they did.And how well did she even know Lucas to
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 57: Arranged Fiancée
Listening to Lucas's explanation, I couldn't help but feel sympathy for him. I had no idea what it was like to be in his shoes, and I could only imagine the intense pressure he felt every day having the Busch name attached to him."Would you really accept a marriage like that?" I asked him. "I mean, you still have free will. Your father can't control every single aspect of your life."Lucas fidgeted at my question, clearly not knowing how to answer it. I started to grow worried about his response.It looked as if he was having an internal battle with himself on what was right and what was wrong.I wondered if his behavior was a result of his father's commands and twisted parenting styles. Lucas always looked like he was double-checking to make sure that his actions aligned with what his father would want. He was afraid to fall out of line."Of course, I don't want to marry Victoria," Lucas admitted, half torn and half nervous to continue. "I'd have to be out of mind if I actually want
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 58: Lies and Secrets
As Lucas repeated his assurance that James and I would always be his best friends, frustration bubbled within me, taking over my train of thought.I couldn't bear to hear him say those similar words again—it was as if he was using them as a shield, a way to justify his actions without considering how they affected us."Stop saying that," I blurted the words out, unable to hold back my emotions any longer.Lucas looked taken aback by my outburst, a frown crossing his face."Shana, what's wrong now?" he asked, his voice tinged with concern. "I'm just—""No, Lucas." I stopped him from saying anything else.I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts."It's just... It's not fair, Lucas," I said, my voice trembling with emotion. "You're willing to trade your own lifetime happiness for status and money... I can't understand that."Lucas sighed, "Shana, it's not that simple. It's not like I want things to be this way," he said, his eyes pleading for my understanding. "My father is...
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 59: Newfound Feelings
“Of course, I’m not jealous, don’t be ridiculous,” I said, trying to sound casual, but my own words felt off as soon as they left my lips. It felt like I was deceiving not only James but also myself.With a forced scoff, I attempted to hide my unease, pretending to be nonchalant as I stared at the dirt under my nails. "Besides, what would I have to be jealous of, right? I'm definitely not the jealous type."James gave me a small smile, tilting his head as he observed me. "You keep repeating that word, 'jealous.'"It was obvious that I wasn't convincing him. Hell, I wasn't even able to convince myself that I wasn't jealous.God. This was not good.Is that what this feeling is? Jealousy?Is that why I said something so harsh and cruel to Lucas? To hurt him back because I was... jealous?"No!" I blurted out loud, even though I meant to keep it to myself. My true emotions escaped my attempts to keep them hidden."No?" James asked. He was staring at me harder than he was a few seconds ago.
