ALYSSAA mate and a brother. She had never been more perturbed in her life. She knew Ethan's strength but she didn't know Ace's. She didn't know who would win and deep down she had a premonition that Ethan could fail.But if he did win, she wouldn't dare watch the game on the field because Ace will definitely see her.“What makes you think you can beat the Alpha though?” Alyssa asks because her brother appeared too optimistic. There wasn't a trace of doubt in his words.He smiled and nudged her in the arm. “Because I'm prepared.”“You don't feel scared?” Alyssa inquired.He shrugged. “It's just the Alpha’s son. Nothing else.”She patted him in the back, “I believe you baby brother. But still don't be overly positive. Also believe things may not go your way.”Ethan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at his sister. He was bewildered. Did she think he would fail?“Are you saying all of these because it's the Alpha’s son? You always believed in me. Why are you so doubtful now?”Aly
Axel and Alyssa sat on the couch after dinner while Ethan excused himself. Ever since their conversation about the Beta,he had been looking for ways to get them together again. But one thing was certain; she could never end up with the Beta.He was fun and the way his eyes lit up like a thousand torches whenever he spoke about things he was passionate about made her heart race and she found herself smiling at everything he said.“Alyssa, would you go to mines?” He asked, locking eyes with her.Her smiles gradually wore off till all that was left was a thin line. “Huh?” I asked.“The thing is you're really skilled. You're a strong person and very ambitious too,” he said, gesturing with his hands. “But still, you need training.”She scoffed, “I don't think so. I know enough to protect myself. I don't think I need something more.”“If you're determined to stay within a circle you'll never find your way out. You'll just keep going and going but there won't be any progress,” He said.Alyss
ALYSSAAs quickly as it came, sadly it was gone. Her weekend was over and she had to return back to the Alpha’s house. Her brother and her had barely said anything to themselves and she had to be the bigger person against her will.Although he didn't understand, she told him the best way she could and if he wasn't still going to understand, he could deal with it himself.She settled in and changed into her work clothes and got to work. She had no idea if Axel was around and even if he was, she was unsure of how to face him. She would apologise for asking him to leave. He was still the Alpha regardless of the mate bond. His absence gave her a sense of security and relief.She quickly did the chores and the butler's job. The task assigned to her by Lydia. She was slowly doing everyone's task. Whenever Lydia decided she didn't want a worker in the house and chased them, Alyssa was the one to take up their position.She finished her work on time so she could steal away into the yard. She
Lydia froze in the spot, her eyes wife with rage as she glared at Alssa. Ace swallowed as he watched in silence while Alyssa stood still, unsure of what to do. She was covered in sweat from working and the two appeared to have been returning from somewhere.“What are you doing here?” Lydia demanded through gritted teeth. She looked scary.“Cleaning,” Alyssa said as she slowly retreated.“Where is your veil?” She demanded, each word dripping like venom.That was when it occurred to Alyssa. Again she had fucked up. This time she wasn't going to be spared. Alyssa bowed her head, “I'm sorry,” she said and sprinted.Lydia's heart thumped loudly. That coward had betrayed her. She had revealed her identity. Now Ace would know she was a beautiful person and that she had lied about the eye infection. How was she going to explain to him now? He wouldn't even believe her.“Um, I should go now,” Lydia whispered in a shaky voice .“Why?” Ace inquired. “I thought we were supposed to spend the whole
When Lydia and Ace returned to their bedroom, Lydia wrapped her arms around him and planted a kiss on his lips but Ace seemed like he wasn't there at all. Lydia noticed his reluctance and stopped.She shot him a glare. “Hey, What's on your mind?” She asked,her brow furrowing with concern.“It's nothing sweetie,” he said and planted a kiss on her forehead. “I'm just tired from all that training. It gets to me everytime.”“You've been exhausting yourself way too much. Haven't you?” She inquired.Ace sighed. “The people we are competing with are really strong so the harder we practise, the better.”Lydia didn't get mad. Rather, she smiled and whispered, “it's okay. I understand.”“Thank you,” Ace whispered sleepily.Ace turned and Lydia started massaging his back. A vicious look formed on her face as thoughts of Alyssa occupied her mind.Her father's assurance kept her going and she was sure now that nothing and no one could take Ace from her. Her father always ensured he gave her everyt
The clash of combats echoed through the arena and the energy grew intense. The Alpha sons of the rival tribes sat unnoticed amidst the fervour of the crowd.They watched the first match and the crowd went wild. It was a blend of cheering and booing as the fighters battled it out. Ace soaked in the excitement, knowing soon that theirs would come.While the spectators roared and cheered, Ace leaned in to explain the competition, his voice barely audible over the din of excitement. Ebsy's eyes lit up with every word as he learned about the rewards that came with the game.Meanwhile, seated on the other side of the Arena was Alyssa. She hid herself with a long dress, a veil and a hat so she would go unnoticed. Her gaze was fixed on the floor as she watched the fighters with a keen eye, scrutinising and taking note of each of their weaknesses and strengths. She knew that knowledge was power in combat and either of the winners could be Ethan's opponent. So why not use the advantage to tip t
Ebsy pushed through the crowd of unfamiliar faces, his gaze darting frantically, searching for the elusive figure that he had seen from the sidelines. But the crowd pressed in around him like a solid wall, blocking his path as cheers erupted around him.Ethan's perfect sidekick knocked his opponent to the ground. His victory echoed throughout the arena and the crowd crazed with excitement. Ebsy tried desperately to squeeze out with his eyes fixed on the person he wanted to meet.Or perhaps, catch.At that moment, Alyssa and Axel who were hiding in the darkness had just found their spot. Alyssa gasped for breath loudly, her heart pounding in her chest. She had been rooting for her brother and was now exhausted. Axel's hand found hers, and she took it and held him tightly. Axel stared at her with smiles in his eyes.They watched Ethan's game with bated breath and the champion kept going. He had been knocked down a couple of times but he refused to back down and he also had some injurie
Ace was sitting silently in the audience, watching with intense eyes and listening to everything that was happening around him. He saw Ebsy vanish into the swirling mass of spectators and Ace's eyes followed his every move, a knot of unease forming in the pit of his stomach.Everything had been well but the Alpha from Blue Bane had been acting weird ever since he saw Ethan. Ace decided he was going to look into Ethan and find out how he was related to Ebsy.Ace dipped his hand into his pocket and reached for his phone. He dialled Axel's number but he wasn't picking up.He needed Axel to dig into him but he wasn't taking his calls yet.He watched as Ebsy searched desperately for someone, weaving his way through the crowd with a look of doubt on his face. Ace's heart raced faster than a sports car as his attention was divided.Then, just as Alyssa was about to duck and hide, Ace's gaze locked onto her familiar form. If not anything, the veil she wore gave her away. He sat upright as his
