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***

Chapter: Chapter 221. I can't stop
Alex turned the phone back toward himself. "His name is Zenith." Lucas repeated it quietly. "Zenith..." "So he didn't even tell you his name?" "No." Alex looked offended on Lucas's behalf. "He cornered you." Lucas opened his mouth. "He hugged you." Lucas sighed. "He touched you. How dare he" "Alex…" "And then he tried to convince an amnesia patient that they had some epic romance together." Lucas nearly laughed, because as Alex put it that way, it sounded ridiculous. Alex shook his head. "I think it's time somebody addresses his nonsense." Lucas immediately frowned. "What are you planning?" "Nothing illegal." "That answer makes me nervous." Alex grinned. "Good." Lucas groaned. "Alex…" Alex leaned closer. "I'm serious, baby. He is a bitch." His expression became more thoughtful. "If you genuinely don't remember him, then nobody should be pressuring you into accepting a relationship you can't recall. A relationship that

Lucas immediately tensed. "Please..." Zenith smiled sadly. "We cared about each other, Luc." Lucas tried gently removing Zenith’s arm from him. "I'm sorry." His voice was sincere. "I can't remember." "Then remember." Lucas shook his head. "It doesn't work like that." The atmosphere grew tense.Neither noticed the restroom door opening again. Until a voice came through. "Everything okay, boss?" Both men turned. Marvis stood in the doorway. His eyes immediately landed on Zenith's arm. Then on Lucas's expression. His face hardened. Lucas felt immediate relief."Yeah." He stepped away from Zenith."We're leaving." Marvis didn't move. His gaze remained fixed on Zenith. He wassuspicious, protective, and watching. Zenith slowly removed his arm.Holding both hands up. "No problem." But his eyes remained on Lucas. "Luc." Lucas paused. Zenith smiled. A little sadly. "A memory loss doesn't mean you get rid of me that easily."

Chapter: Chapter 219. Teasing him
It wasn't fear of Derby or fear of the divorce failing, but fear that while Lucas had been moving closer to him… Vince had also found a place in Lucas's heart. He didn't want him loving Vince, not minding that he was Vince. Alex pushed the thought away immediately, because it was ridiculous. Lucas liked him. Lucas waited for his calls. Lucas asked to see him.So why was he feeling like this? On the other end of the line, Lucas sighed. "Then why do you sound sad?" The question caught Alex off guard. He smiled despite himself.Trust Lucas to notice. Trust Lucas to always hear the things nobody else did. "I'm not sad." "You are bothered about something." "I'm not." "I can feel it. You are." Alex laughed. "You are impossible, Lucas." "And you're avoiding my question."Alex rubbed his forehead. For a moment he considered telling him that hearing about Vince bothered him. And that he was jealous of himself in Vince’s personality. And that the thought of Lu

Chapter: Chapter 218. Being ridiculous
The words escaped in a whisper.He stared ahead. His thoughts began crashing into each other. The kiss. The way he'd felt relieved seeing Vince last night. The way his heart reacted whenever Vince looked at him. The fact that he'd smiled three separate times while reading a simple note. His face slowly paled. "No." He immediately stood. Then sat back down. Then stood again and started pacing. "What is wrong with me?" He ran both hands through his hair.His thoughts spiraled. "What about Alex?" The question struck him hard. The person he'd been thinking about every night. The person whose goodnight calls he waited for. The person who made him feel safe. The person he'd kissed. The person that had expressed his true feelings to him in many ways. Lucas groaned and covered his face. "Oh my gosh, am I falling for Vince too? Why does his kiss make me feel the same way as Alex’s?” His voice echoed through the empty room. "What the fuck is wrong with my head?

Chapter: Chapter 217. Falling for Vince
Meanwhile, last night when Derby was getting drunk, the cottage had grown quiet. Outside, the night insects sang softly, while inside only the warm glow of a bulb illuminated the small living room. Vince glanced at the clock as Lucas checked his phone for the third time. “Is everything alright?” Lucas nodded absentmindedly.But instead of walking to the bed, he checked his phone again. Vince noticed, for the fourth time in ten minutes. A small smile tugged at his lips. "Waiting for someone’s call?" Lucas looked up. "Hmm?" "Your phone." Vince nodded toward it. "You keep checking it." Lucas immediately looked down at the screen again, still no message. A faint look of disappointment crossed his face before he hid it. Vince pretended not to know why."Why don't you call her instead of waiting for her to call?" Vince said as he walked over and climbed onto the bed. Lucas's head snapped up instantly. "No!" The answer came so fast that Vince

Chapter: Chapter 216. Fuck me
Jerry's expression tightened. The woman looked completely shattered. "Come on, ma'am," he said gently. "I'll take you to him." It was a lie, but it was the only thing he could think of to get her safely inside. The moment she heard those words, Derby nodded obediently."Okay." She allowed him to guide her toward the house. Every few steps she stumbled. Every few steps she mumbled Lucas's name. The sound became harder and harder to listen to. By the time they reached her bedroom, Jerry was exhausted. He pushed the door open. The room was dark, quiet and empty. Exactly the opposite of what Derby wanted. The moment they stepped inside, she looked around. Confusion appeared on her face. "Lucas?" No answer.Her eyes began filling with tears again. "Lucas..." Jerry carefully helped her sit on the edge of the bed. "Ma'am, you should get some rest." But Derby suddenly grabbed his wrist. The strength in her grip surprised him. "Don't leave, please fuck me."

Chapter: Chapter 42. They noticed
Noa immediately turned away. "I care about having a complete team." "Sure about that?" “You have no business in my concern, so beat it.” Noa replied , trying to keep his voice casual. “Sure, provided your concern wasn't anything personal. I'm sure you understand what I mean by that. Stick to your hockey rules and you won't have any problem. Leon is mine, don't forget that.” The sarcasm was impossible to miss, but before Noa could reply, he was gone. “Gaddamn it, he is suspecting me?” Noa’s heart pounded as that whisper escaped him. At that minute, the medical room door opened and Leon stepped out. A bandage wrapped tightly around his leg. The bleeding had stopped.Relief hit Noa so hard it nearly weakened his knees. Leon noticed, and smiled. That stupid smile that always made Noa’s chest feel strange. "Miss me already?" Noa immediately rolled his eyes. "There goes my sympathy." "Good. I was worried." Noa said. "About what?" Leon stepped close

Chapter: Chapter 41. Blood on ice
Leon melted into it, holding him tighter as their kisses deepened. When they pulled apart for air, Noa’s hand went down swiftly into Leon’s pants and grabbed his dick unexpectedly. “Oh fuck,” Leon gasped and his eyes widened in surprise as Noa held on. Noa smirked, “Why surprise? Don't you want me to do this?” He asked, stroking his dick gently. Leon swallowed, “I…I…” he stammered. “You what cutie, hmm?” he asked as he captured his lips in another kiss, while still stroking him. He pulled back and winced, “Damn it, I've always wanted you Leon. Right now, I want you more than anything. I so want to fuck you.” Unexpectedly, he held Leon’s hand and pulled him towards the bed. Then pushed him down into it. Leon fell into the bed, but came up in a sitting position. Eyes wide in surprise. “You want me too, right?” He asked without waiting for an answer as he climbed on top, straddling him. He pulled up his singlet and Leon lifted his hands to let it off him. Noa

Chapter: Chapter 40. Kiss me
Noa had seen it, and Leon knew he had. The realization sent a jolt through both of them. The tension became unbearable. Then suddenly from one of the apartment’s opened windows above them. "Will you two love birds kiss already?" “Yeah, do it. I hate suspense.” said another voice from another window. The voices echoed through the night. Both guys jumped apart instantly. “Oh, fuck you two joy killers.” The voice sounded disappointed as a window slammed shut. Then another window followed and another. Silence followed. Noa felt heat rush to his face. Leon looked equally horrified. For one ridiculous moment neither knew what to say or do. Finally Noa grabbed his bag. "I need sleep." Leon nodded. "Yeah, we should go inside." “Inside?” “Yeah, I told my Dad I couldn't make it home tonight. I've been waiting for you since after practice. You're gonna let me sleep out here?” Noa turned without responding and headed toward the entrance. Halfway to the door,

Chapter: Chapter 39. Misunderstood
As the voice echoed through the locker room. Both of them froze. “Nath’s voice followed. "Check one of the shower stalls," Leon reacted instantly. He stepped back and moved beneath a different showerhead, putting space between them before anyone could walk in and catch them together. "Cap, you there?" The guy shouted again. Noa cleared his throat, trying to steady his breathing. "Yeah. What do you want?" "Coach Finn said you're not answering your phone. He wants you to call him back when you're done." "Alright. I'll do that." "Okay." His footsteps faded away. Silence returned. Noa turned. Leon was already staring at him. The intensity in his eyes made Noa's heart race. Within seconds Leon had closed the distance between them again. "Noa," he whispered. Noa reached up and cupped his cheek gently. "What am I supposed to do about you, hmm?" For the first time since Leon came into the shower stall, he looked uncertain, and vulnerabl

Chapter: Chapter 38. Crack in hatred
With his last spoken words, the tension eased just a little. "Most people only see goals and assists. I see someone who could play at a much higher level someday." Leon's heart raced. Ever since he was a kid, professional hockey had been his dream. The possibility felt intoxicating. "That's a huge compliment." "It isn't a compliment." Sebastian's eyes remained fixed on him."It's the truth." Then Sebastian smiled and stepped back. "Think about the offer. I'll wait for your answer." Leon nodded. "Okay." The assistant coach turned and started down the stairs.Halfway down, he glanced back.For a brief moment, something unreadable flickered across his face.Something warm, almost affectionate, but then it disappeared. He licked his lips, smiled and waved. "Good night, Leon." "Good night." Sebastian left with him. Leon remained alone in the stands staring at the back of the man. “Why does that coach always look at me like that? Like he likes me.”

Chapter: Chapter 37. Tough comparison
He returned to Diamond's recording and replayed the first few seconds. Then back to Leon…then to Diamond. Then again to Leon. He ran both hands through his hair in frustration. Their voices had close similarities, not identical. But close enough to make his chest tighten. The same deep tone. The same slight pause before certain words.The same calm confidence. Noa leaned forward. His heart was beating faster now. "You're imagining things." He whispered. Then he played both recordings again. The longer he listened, the less certain he became. Maybe he was forcing the similarities. Maybe because Leon had occupied his thoughts far more than he wanted to admit. Everywhere he looked lately, he somehow found Leon. At training. In the locker room. At sports lectures.Even in his dreams. Especially in his dreams. Noa groaned and rubbed his face."This is getting unhealthy." He said loudly and yet he couldn't stop. He opened another recording from Diamond. Then an
