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.
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 60: Making Up
After school, I decided to wait for Lucas during his hockey practice, hoping to catch him before he could disappear again.As the final whistle blew and the Dragon players started to come out of the rink, I spotted Lucas talking to James.My heart pounded with nervousness as I approached the two of them, not knowing what to expect."Hey, Lucas," I said, trying to sound casual, though my nerves were telling me otherwise. I tried to remain strong. "Can we talk for a second?"He looked a bit surprised to see me there. His eyes flickered over to James before panning back over to me."What for?" Lucas asked, his voice cold and empty. "I thought you said you didn't need a friend like me."Hearing him repeat the words made it feel as though a knife had been trusted into my chest.James looked as though he was uncomfortable to be standing in the middle of our conversation. It looked as if he wanted to say something, but I beat him to it."Lucas, I'm so sorry for saying that," I tried to get t
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 61: A Father’s Rule
Lucas POVHearing my father bring up Victoria made me mentally roll my eyes. He just had to mention her while Shana was sitting right next to me. I knew this conversation would upset her, given how she reacted when she found out Victoria was my fiancée.Shana was still upset with me for listening to my father’s commands and requests, and rightfully so.I understood why she would be upset, but she also doesn't understand what it was like to live in my shoes.She didn’t know my father like I did.He was a powerful and influential figure in our society, and his expectations weighed heavily on me.It wasn't easy being an Alpha, especially one who was expected to uphold the family's legacy and protect the Busch's name.“I don't need a friend who hides things from me and doesn't trust me enough with what's going on in their life," Shana's words echoed in my mind, causing me to worry.She would be angry with me if I just accepted my father’s command. But going against him was easier said tha
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 62: The King Alpha
Kendrick turned so quickly if I wouldn’t have blinked, I would’ve missed it. His mouth opened and closed in shock as he processed Lucas’s question.The tension in the room was palpable, and I almost wanted to laugh at how enraged he looked. It was obvious that Lucas never questioned his father—let alone challenged him.The tables were turning, and I couldn’t be prouder of Lucas for finally growing a backbone and saying something to his father.But honestly, I was just as surprised as Kendrick. I never thought Lucas would be capable of talking back to his father.I shot a glance at James who was looking back and forth between Kendrick and Lucas with wide eyes.His eyes locked on mine, and he mouthed, “Did he actually just do that?”I nodded slightly, mouthing, “I think he did. Oh my God!” equally shocked by Lucas's boldness.The only thing missing from this moment was a bag of popcorn to enjoy the scene that was about to unfold.As bad as it was to say that, there was an undeniable se
The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart #Chapter 63: The Invitation
Once Kendrick declared that last statement, he finally left the restaurant. The tension between the three of us was palpable, and I could practically feel the anger radiating off of Lucas.James probably sensed it too because he was staring at Lucas with concern and caution, as if Lucas might explode into a million pieces. "You okay, bro?"When Lucas didn't answer and kept looking at the door Kendrick just walked out of, James's eyes fell on me. He widened them at me, silently urging me to say or do something -- like he was beckoning me to comfort Lucas."Lucas?" I asked, gently placing a hand on his arm.My gentle touch seemed to snap him out of whatever trance he was in. His gaze split from the front entrance and returned to us.The way his eyebrows bunched together on his forehead strangely made him look similar to his father.I swallowed, suddenly worried by what Lucas was thinking."Dude?" James asked Lucas again, trying to capture his attention for a second time."What?" Lucas's
