UNCHARTED PATH

UNCHARTED PATH

Lucas and Alex were born differently, but Lucas lived with a secret, more specific and intriguing. Betrayed twice by James, Alex became broken, cold, and depressed. He decided to end it all, but Lucas stepped in with kind words and pulled him out from his darkest edge, and left him with a good luck charm. Alex swore off love and locked his heart away. He became a man with one motive...rejection of love proposals. Any gender that crossed his path was used and dumped. His only desire was to meet his lucky charm guy (Lucas) again. Two years later, they met, and his love bloomed. As the feelings grew, so did Alex’s fear and, with it, his anger. How could he love again when the past still haunted him? Out of jealousy, his love for Lucas suddenly turned to hatred. Why did he hate the one person who made him feel alive again? Can Alex overcome his fear of betrayal, or will he destroy the very love that could heal him completely? What secret did Lucas live with? Could they navigate it and bond again, or would they fall apart? ***MM Romance***

Alex sighed. "You make everything difficult." A grin appeared instantly. “Isn't that one of the reasons you love me?" Alex rolled his eyes. Unfortunately, he couldn't stop smiling.Lucas smiled. "There it is." "What?" "That sweet smile that drives me insane." "You're impossible." Lucas laughed. Then he leaned in and kissed Alex again. Moving his hands straight to his dick. “Baby,” Alex gasped. Raised his hands to caress his cheek. “You're getting naughty these days.” “Well, I have a good teacher and I guess he deserves some sugar, right.” He whispered to his ear iving him a bite. Alex gasped at the feeling that action gave him, and smiled. Then wrapped his arms around him. “Okay, I will take the risk, I want some sugar, baby. I hope your wife won't set this house on fire.” “Nah, she loves the mansion. It's a gift from her father. But if she decided to, then let's burn together.” “Youre not just getting naughty, you're getting crazy too.” Ale

Chapter: Chapter 228. Don't leave
Derby kept drinking. One glass became two. Two became half the bottle. Half the bottle became nearly all of it. Within an hour, her movements had grown unsteady. Her cheeks were flushed, and her thoughts were spilling freely from her lips. She wandered around the living room, bottle in hand, muttering to herself. The mansion felt too quiet, empty, and full of thoughts she didn't want to have. The front door opened.Jerry stepped inside and immediately noticed her condition. His eyes widened. "Ma'am?" Derby turned toward him. "Oh." She laughed. "Jerry." He approached carefully. "Do you need help getting to bed?" Derby stared at him for several seconds before suddenly chuckling."Ohhh..." She pointed at him with the bottle."Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Jerry blinked. "What could that be, ma'am?" Derby's smile disappeared. "He is sleeping with him, Jerry." "Who is sleeping with who?" "My Lucas." Her voice cracked. "My Lucas is with Al

Chapter: Chapter 227. Caught? No regret
For the past three days, Lucas had practically been living at the mansion, at Alex's insistence. "Until the divorce is finalized, it's safer this way," Alex had told him. "If people notice we're spending too much time together, they'll start asking questions." Lucas had reluctantly agreed.The arrangement wasn't exactly difficult. Every morning, they shared breakfast. Every evening, they stole moments together whenever they could. And every night, Lucas found himself falling asleep with a smile he couldn't seem to get rid of. Unfortunately, happiness had a way of making people careless.Three days later, Derby was supposed to be halfway to another city for a business trip. Instead, she sat in the backseat of a taxi, frustrated beyond belief.A technical issue at the airport had delayed her flight long enough for her to miss it completely. The airline had rebooked her for the following day. Which meant she was going home unexpectedly. The mansion came into view.

Chapter: Chapter 226. Please, don't stop
Alex smiled as he brushed his thumb across Lucas's cheek."Yes, baby. We eat together, we shower together, we play together, we fight together, and we sleep together." Lucas's eyes softened as he listened. Alex leaned closer, their foreheads touching. "We don't hide things from each other. We share everything."A teasing grin tugged at the corner of his lips. "Yes, we even give each other some sugar." He punctuated the statement with a playful wink. Lucas laughed, the sound warm and genuine. The sight alone made Alex's heart swell.It had been so long since he'd heard that laugh. "So we practically do everything lovers do?" Lucas asked. Alex's eyes sparkled."Pretty much." He pressed a quick kiss to Lucas's lips."Everything without reserve. We even get naughty sometimes." Lucas raised an eyebrow."Even me getting naughty? Really?" Alex burst out laughing. "Oh, absolutely yes." "Hey, I'm serious." Alex pointed at himself proudly. "I'm definitely the

Chapter: Chapter 225. Missed your touch
In my memory flash, you kissed me in a walk in fridge" He stared at him for seconds and whispered again, “You’re not Vince, you're my Alex, right?” For a moment Alex couldn't speak.Couldn't breathe, couldn't even think.Everything he'd wanted to hear.Everything he'd dreamed of hearing.And now it was finally happening. His own eyes began to sting. A shaky laugh escaped him. Half joy, and half relief. He lifted a trembling hand and brushed away Lucas's tears.Then rested his forehead against his.Their breaths mingling. Their hearts racing together. "Yeah." His voice broke completely."Yeah, baby." A tear slid down his own cheek. "It's me, your Alex." Lucas let out a sob. The sound shattered whatever restraint Alex had left. He pulled him back into his arms. Holding him fiercely, and protectively. Like he'd never let go again. Lucas clung to him just as tightly.Because after all the confusion, thinking his heart was falling for Vince. His heart was never

Chapter: Chapter 224. Couldn't lie
The room felt suffocatingly quiet.Alex's phone had already betrayed him. The ringtone still echoed in both their minds. Lucas stood frozen. The phone screen is the same. The pendant similarities. Everything was crashing together. And now, he was staring directly at Vince, waiting and demanding for answers. That question gripped Alex harder than anything else. Not because Lucas thought he was a thief. But because the question revealed something far more dangerous. Lucas was suspecting the truth. Not consciously, but the pieces were beginning to connect. Alex swallowed. His throat suddenly felt dry. "I'm not a thief." His voice came out lower than intended. Lucas didn't blink, he didn't move or even look away. The silence stretched. Then Lucas nodded slowly. "You're not a thief."His eyes remained fixed on him.Searching, studying, and almost pleading. His voice softened. "Are you wearing lenses?"Alex's heart slammed painfully hard against his ribs. Fo

Chapter: Chapter 50. No choice
The final whistle echoed through the rink. "That's it for today!" Coach Finn called out. "Good work. Everybody to center ice." The players skated in, breathing hard after nearly two hours of practice. Some leaned on their sticks while others pulled off their helmets, grateful for the break. Coach Finn stood before them with his arms folded. His expression was serious. The chatter gradually died down. "I've got an important announcement." Every player straightened instinctively. "There has been a change of plans." He paused. "We will not be leaving for Mountain Bay tomorrow morning." "What?" A wave of whispers spread through the team. "No way..." "I already packed for tomorrow." "Did the match get canceled?" Coach Finn raised a hand, silencing the murmurs. "I know this is short notice, and I'm sorry about the late information." He looked around at every face."But if you intend to become professional athletes someday, you'd better get used to adaptin

Chapter: Chapter 49. Hard game
His voice trembled. "Do you know what I called him? Do you know how many times I shoved him? How many times I have humiliated him in front of everyone?" He covered his face with both hands. "And the worst part..." His voice broke completely. "He still tried to cooperate and do things with me." Leon’s emotion rose as he recalled their private moments, the stolen kisses, their free smiles. “Damn it, your lies made me lose his trust. How do I fucking make up, hmm.” Max frowned at his brother's reaction. Leon slowly lowered his hands. "When everyone else saw a nice captain, I saw an enemy that needed to suffer. I...I…" He stopped, unable to finish.The memory of Noa flashed through his mind. Starting from the rivalry to late-night conversations. The concern hidden beneath their arguments. The kisses, and the romances. His chest tightened. "I don't even know where to begin making this right." Max walked closer. "We'll figure it out together." Leon shook his he

Chapter: Chapter 48. The truth
It was indeed Max, he muttered “Talking about the devil.” He watched as other teammates gathered around, greeting him and asking how he was getting on. Leon smiled faintly, skated over and hugged him. “I didn't know you're coming to visit.” “Surprise,” Max said teasingly. Max returned the teammates greetings, though his smile looked forced. He hadn't expected to see Noa. Noa hadn't expected to see him either. He stared from the center of ice looking at Max. As their eyes locked, the warmth drained from Noa's face. His stick tightened in his grip, and Leon noticed it. Before anyone could react, Noa pushed off. His skates sliced across the ice with purpose. He headed straight toward Max. Every conversation in the rink died because they knew something was off. "Noa?" Nath called, but Noa ignored him. He stopped inches in front of Max. "So..." His voice carried across the silent arena. "You finally decided to show your face." Max swallowed. “Hey Cap

Chapter: Chapter 47. Rink conflict
In the next thirty minutes, they were in for practice. They hadn't gone five minutes inside the rink when Coach cursed for the third time. “What the heck is wrong today?” The blast of the whistle echoed through the rink. "Again!" The coach roared. The team sprang into motion, skates carving across the ice as the puck flew from stick to stick. "Transition drill! Keep it moving!" Noa pushed off hard, collecting the puck along the boards. His head was up, eyes scanning the ice. Leon was completely open for the puck. "Here!" Leon shouted, tapping his stick. Noa didn't even look his way, instead, he fired a crisp pass across the ice to Nath. Nath barely caught it before redirecting it down the line. Leon slowed. Maybe Noa hadn't seen him. The whistle blew again. "Reset!" Another rush. This time Leon deliberately positioned himself in the center lane, exactly where the drill required the puck to go. "Noa!" The call echoed across the rink. Noa s

Chapter: Chapter 46. Cracked desires
“You like that, don't you?” He released him and roamed his body, with his hands caressing him up to chest. His fingers stopped at his nipples teasing him while his dick kept poking his ass. Noa tilted his head back, his eyes fluttering close as Leon whispered to his ear. “Tell me you want me because I so fucking want to fuck you. I want to bury my dick inside you.” Noa’s eyes opened immediately. He turned to look at him because he was hoping he would be the top. “Leon, I'm top, so you can't…” He started to talk but Leon didn't let him finish as he shut his mouth with kisses. Noa didn't resist. He leaned into it, unleashing all the hunger within him. His hands caressing Leon’s back. When they pulled back for air. Their breathing was uneven as their heart raced. Their eyes locked for seconds before Leon leaned in with another kiss, his fingers teasing his nipples. When he pulled back he grabbed his nipple with his mouth. “Oh Leon…” Noa gasped as Leon’s name es

Chapter: Chapter 45. Let's practice
Noa stood inside the stall, barely breathing, until the restroom door finally clicked shut. The silence that followed felt louder than the kiss itself. He pressed both palms against the cold partition and squeezed his eyes shut. "Fuck." The curse slipped out in a whisper. His hand robbed on his dick as it throbbed beneath his pants. His lips still tingled. His heart was still racing. Every nerve in his body seemed determined to replay the last few minutes on an endless loop.Leon had kissed him, again, and the worst part? He had kissed him back. He dragged a shaky hand through his hair and let his forehead rest against the metal wall. Oh, fuck, Noa. His own thoughts were merciless as they ran in his mind. Damn it, Leon isn't making this any easier.The image of Leon's face flashed through his mind…the determination in his eyes, the way he'd grabbed his wrist, the desperation behind that kiss. Noa groaned softly. "You need to talk to him." The voice in
