What do you think about the story so far? 😉
Chapter 14 Sam’s POV The walk back to the bunkers was quiet. Jake had his arm around my shoulders, and I could tell how nervous he was. The big mansions that served as accommodation for the alphas and betas began to disappear from our view as we came closer to the old, dark forest. The place deceives you; Almost no sun could shine through the thick woodland. It was late morning, but everything around us felt dark as night. Perhaps it was also my terrible hangover that kept my head spinning; maybe it was dread knowing that I needed to return to the packhouse later. “I’m okay, Jake. I can get out of this. Don’t worry.” “No, Sam, it’s not okay. This was not supposed to happen. I won’t let you go back to him; I rather have us discharged from the games.” “No, Jake, I can’t deal with the resentment from my fellow pack members if I cause us to be expelled again. Please hear me out, okay?” Blake had remained quiet throughout the walk before he suddenly stoppe
Chapter 15 Blair’s POV After Sam left, my father mind linked me to meet him in his room. I wanted to share my good news with him and was eager to tell him that I had finally found my Luna. I enter his bedroom and find him sitting at the big oak desk that is situated right in front of the window “Yes, son, you have some news for me,” he asks and turns his chair to face me. “That is correct, father. I wanted to tell you that I have finally found my Luna!” He looks surprised before he answers: “So you have finally found the girl that has been avoiding you for the last two years,” he says with a mocking voice. “And how does she feel about you, son? Is she willing to share your life, duties, and responsibilities with our pack?” “She is my Luna; she will learn,” I tell him with a blank face. “I see, and when will I meet her?” “You will meet her tonight, father, after the tournament.” “Fine. I hope that she will be worthy of running this pack
Chapter 16 Sam’s POV I want to hate Blake, but I can’t do that. The way he was looking at me when he made his proposal was heartbreaking. It was sincere and just fucking annoying. Could I consider that to be a genuine proposal? I’m not sure about Caroline; what sort of person would want to share their mate? It doesn’t make sense. After talking to Brandon, I decide to mind link Jake, but I can’t seem to get through. He never blocks me out, unless… he has found his mate?! Can that be true? I need to know, and I am slightly worried about why he doesn’t answer. I run out of my room, leaving Brandon troubled again, and rush to the bunkers where I know Jake is staying. In the big bunker, all the pack warriors are there except Jake. “Hey, guys! Do you know where Jake is?” I ask them, slightly anxious. No one seems to know. And that makes me concerned. Jake never leaves without informing where he is going. What the hell? Okay, I try to reassure myself; ma
Chapter 17 Alpha Blair’s POV I was living through a nightmare. After finally finding my mate after so long, she was not only resisting me; she was sleeping with other people. The fucking sex-good only belongs to me. Mine. The possessiveness I felt around her was slowly eating me alive. She was mine. Only mine, but she made it impossible for me to have her. After she left, I snuck into Natasha’s room and fucked her. It wasn’t anything special, but I needed release. After I left Natasha’s room, I felt the urge to find Sam, but she wasn’t in her room in the bunkers. Instead, I found her in a steamy meeting with that fucking Beta and his mate. What the hell was wrong with this woman? She could be with me, but why she had to make it so god damn tricky, I can't understand. It was apparent that she had some relationship with the Beta, and I needed him out of my way. I needed her brother out of my way too. If I would take her home with me to my pack, I needed to
Chapter 18 Sam’s POV I shouldn’t be surprised that things are not going the way I planned. Trouble follows me wherever I go. I seem to be attracted to danger. I have tried so many times to change, to blend in, but I can’t seem to be able to manage that. When Blake was still in my life, he was my anchor that helped me tame Lily, but he didn’t either know the whole story. Only Jake does. And we promised each other for our safety that we should keep it that way. As descendants of the Desert Forest pack, we’re an easy target if anyone finds out about us. So Blake only knew I had two wolves, and that was it. He knew nothing more. Lily loved Blake and his wolf Austin, and the feeling was mutual; I knew that, but when he met his true mate, he made a choice. I felt betrayed, knowing that he could be my mate if Lily chose him to be mine, and Lucy didn’t seem to mind about Blake, thinking he was probably the second-best choice if she couldn’t meet her true mate. After
Chapter 19 Sam’s POV I thought the tournaments would be held at the same spot as the training grounds, but boy was I wrong. I get it now; why they choose this location it’s obvious. I’m standing in front of a massive arena; it could easily be said to be a gladiator arena from the Roman empire, except for the fact that this is not old at all; it’s a modern construction. The building is enormous. It could easily contain 10 000 people, and as we ascend the stairs, I can tell by the view that the structure is not round around a green area; instead, it’s lines of constructions facing each other with open access to both east and west. “Amazing, huh?” Blair whispers in my ear. The sudden closeness makes me shiver, and I can only nod as a reply. “It was specially built for the 100th evening games, they tell me,” he says and sighs loudly. “Now that I found you, I don’t care about this nonsense anymore, but I still need to do my part.” I look at the surroundings, a
Chapter 20 Alpha Blair’s POV I knew something was off about Sam. She was no ordinary she-wolf. First of all, she was trying to resist me, which made no sense since many she-wolves found me attractive, and I was an Alpha, meaning I had power. But she was immune to my charm and seemed to be involved with other people, so I had to remove the competition. I had agreed with my Beta Drake that he would make sure to challenge that Beta of hers to a fight to the death. I didn’t intend to kill him, it may sound a bit drastic, but I wanted to see with my own eyes if she did love him or not. Brandon, her roommate, was gay and was out of the picture, but also her brother was a problem for me. By changing the rules in the tournament, I decided to make the fights more exciting and to make sure that the beta and her brother surrendered, which would make her realize that to spare their lives, she would come to me, and agree to be with me. That was the plan. I could quick
Chapter 21 Sam’s POV Lily was going crazy; she was snapping her fangs and wanted to kill them all. More and more warriors were filling the arena. Lily was panting, shaking with anger, and wanted blood. I knew that Lily adored Austin and Blake, but the thought that Caroline was not Blake’s true mate made me confused. She was still very protective of them both, but I could also feel her sadness for something. Lily was pacing around Blake and Caroline, stopping anyone from coming closer. She lunged at a warrior and took him around the neck, and snapped it just like that. It made me shiver, but I also knew there was no other way to handle this. It was life or death. Many memories came to life about Blake and me. The love that still was present and the hurt also. “Tell me, Lily, why would you say something like Caroline is not his true mate?” “Because it’s the truth. She is not. Blake has chosen her. She is his chosen mate.” “But that doesn’t make any sens
Chapter 39/ Epilogue Five years later Foxy’s POV It’s like my past is a dream. A dream of things that seem so distant from the life I’m living now. I can’t imagine living without Blair and our twin sons, Blade and Austin, and it looks like I finally found my happy ending. I love my little family, and Blair and I are happily mated. It was a struggle the first couple of months when we returned to the pack. My new pack. I was accepted, of course, but Logan and Blake had some real issues with letting me go. I heard the story about the threat to Blake and how he was forced pretty much to mate with Caroline. I also listened to the story of the setup for Logan with his mate that he did not want. And I forgave Ace at the end. I mean, he did take care of me all this time, but in the future, I did choose my mate, Alpha Blair. The guys even attended our ceremony even though every single one of them tried to make me leave with them. In the end, I knew they were happy for me, and when we annou
Chapter 38 Foxy’s POV “Lily,” I Whisper. “Lily, Are you there?” The silence is devastating. “Lucy, are you with me, girl?”. Nothing, just silence in return. I glance around in the restaurant, and there is a huge fucking mess. People hide behind tables, screaming and shouting for someone to call the police. There is nothing I can do now. I made my choice, and I need to stick to it. I crawl towards Alpha Blair, but his eyes are closed, and I can hardly breathe. Am I too late? Did I not react fast enough? My heart is breaking. “please, please, be okay.” My tears are falling, and I’m trying to undress his shirt so I can examine the damage. Just two inches above his heart is the silver bullet. I can still see it. I quickly dig my fingers into the bloody wound and remove the bullet. Still nothing from Blair. He is silent and barely breathing. I need to help him. I need to be strong. I look over my shoulder, and there are bodies everywhere. The rage of Lily, protecting what is hers. Tear
Alpha Blairs POV “ When is the wedding?” Ace asks suddenly. I look up to see Sam watching both Micki and me. Her eyes linger on my face, and I swear I can see some emotion in her, even though she tries to hide it. God, she is beautiful. A warrior princess, goodness, a walking bombshell. Sam is mine, and it kills me to try to pretend something is going on with her friend Micki. “We haven’t set a date yet,” I answer Ace, but my eyes are on Sam. “Actually…” Micki chirps, “ we are getting married in a few weeks.” What. The. Hell. Micki. The girl is crazy for interfering in my plans. “Actually…” I say, looking at Micki with annoyance, “nothing is decided yet.” Yet. Never. “Uh, “ Micki tries to save face, but I don’t care anymore. To hell with these lies. Sam still feels something for me, and I can’t be bothered lying anymore. “We are not getting married,” I blurt out. Micki gasps. Sam looks surprised, but I swear I see some other emotions pass in her lingering gaze. Maybe relief.
Chapter 36 Foxy’s POV I’m no longer Sam. I feel it so clearly as we walk to the table where Alpha Blair and my old friend Micki are waiting. Sam would never betray Micki by hooking up with her fiancé behind her back. Shit. What was I thinking? I didn’t know that was for sure. And, of course, the Alpha didn’t resist me either. If not, he welcomed my advances. I’m Foxy, and that will never change. I won’t dwell on the past anymore. I will continue my journey to my independence, but I need to be wise regarding what the Alpha can do for me. I need my wolves. It doesn’t matter how great Ace is; he can’t make me completely whole. I need more. I give Micki a hugh, but I feel like a traitor. She looks happy to see me again, but something still lingers in her gaze when she watches me. Can it be jealousy? She knows about my past with Blair, and perhaps that’s it. She knows how strong the mate bond can be, which may be the ultimate test of their relationship. “So, how did you two meet?” I ask
Chapter 35 Sam’s POV “Shit,” I curse out loud. That was probably the stupidest idea ever. Why the hell did I go to Blair’s room? I already know the answer, though. It’s the mate bond. As soon as I met him in the park, I could feel Lucy stir inside me. The beautiful wolf that I had missed dearly. They have been in hibernation pretty much since I enter the human realm due to heartbreak but also because I’m a lone wolf. Wolves urge energy and strength from the pack, and since I know I have no one, I guess it’s true. The wolf inside you will slowly die. And being with Alpha Blair made me understand something. I need him even though I don’t fucking want to. I don’t want to lose my lovely wolves. But at the same time, I want to be with Ace. Ace. Shit. Fucking hell. I cheated on him with the man I swore I would hate for the rest of my life. But the funny thing is that time does put things in perspective. I know that I load what the men in my life have done to me. Cheating, deceiving
Chapter 34 Ace’s POV One year. One year of peace and endless love. That was it. Shit. I knew the deal with werewolves and their mates, and it’s not as simple as one can think. I also know how hard Scar has tried to move on. She has changed her appearance and her name and has moved to the human realm to have a life with me. I know she is serious about us, I know that, but I can be almost fucking sure that the Alpha has something up his sleeve. I shouldn’t have just ended the call, but jealousy hit me hard and heavy. I need to stop this nonsense. I need to claim Scar as my woman. She is mine. But I also know that love can be challenging. The mate thing is a big fucking problem, and all I can hope for is that the Alpha is severe in love with Scar's friend. I quickly get freshen up. I text Scar that I Love her and’m sorry for hanging up. She doesn’t respond and probably because she is busy working. I put on some nice clothes, dark ripped jeans, a plain t-shirt, and some cologne th
Chapter 33 Alpha Blair’s POV “That went well.” “You think?” Micki asks and looks at me, not convinced “Yeah, she bought it,” I answer her and sweep a glance over her. Micki is a lovely girl for sure, but I have this horrible feeling that she is starting to like me. Yesterday I heard her talking to her mum on the phone that she was happy and soon had some big news to share with them. What the hell, lady? This relationship is just for show. And she was very clingy when we met Sam. I mean, I’m all for “fake it until you make it,” but even after Sam left, she stroked my back and talked about our future wedding. It will never get that far. Get a grip, Micki. I need to talk to her about that, but at the same time, I need her to pretend actually to make this work. “So… I was thinking,” Micki tells me and stands in front of me. Her hands are at her hips, and she is smiling at me. She continues: “Maybe we should try some stuff to make sure our connecti
Chapter 32 Sam’s POV For the first time in years, I felt at ease with everything. I had a job, I had friends, and I also had a wonderful boyfriend. Dating in the human realm was different than in the werewolf community. The men were less possessive and much more understanding of their feelings as such. Still, the sex was incredible. Ace was a giver in all aspects, and it was enough for her. She would sometimes think about the family and friends she had left behind. Every so often, her thoughts would be filled with the memory of past lovers. People who had betrayed and hurt her deeply. But that was in the past. She missed her brother Jake deeply, but he had made his choice when he decided to gang up on her with her exes. Shit, what a douche he was. He wanted to help her, but just like the other males, he had his ideas and reasons for what he thought was the best for her. Being in the human realm made everything seem much more manageable. Every morning was pret
Chapter 31 Alpha Blair “Are you kidding me?” “What..?” “It’s that your plan? It seems kind of lame. You don’t know the girl, she may be your mate, but as far as I remember, she doesn’t really like you.” “Well, that was before Drake. I’m a new, changed man. I’m nothing like my father, and I need to prove that to her. I need to make her want me.” “And you plan to make her jealous? Sounds kind of stupid to me, Alpha.” “ When I saw her at the restaurant, she looked more human than a werewolf; it’s almost like her wolves are gone. She didn’t even sense me there. Something is wrong, and I need to fix it.” “I think it sounds like she doesn’t want anything to do with the werewolf community anymore and is trying to be as human as possible. Maybe this time, you should give up. She has been running from you for almost five years.” “I’m a persistent man. I can wait a lifetime to be with her. Soon she will realize that she belongs with me and not that stup
