LOGINAEXANDER. They are Lena’s kids. She never told me she had kids. Never.Shit. No wonder I felt connected to them just like I did with their mother. She never put it in her files that she was a mother. Was she ashamed of them? But who would be ashamed of kids as beautiful and smart as them? Where the hell was their father? “Lena likes Royce. She wants Royce and not you. Why do you care about them? Do you actually want to be their father? ” My subconscious uttered in the back of my head, reminding me how she had chosen to work with Royce and not me. A voice pulled me back to reality, “It is you.” Lucia's eyes lifted with excitement and then she stretched her hand toward me which I took instantly. “Yes Granny, and he won the game!” Isna chimed in, her voice soft and calm. She sounded so excited and for some reason I was truly glad about her excitement. “Really?” Lucia smiled at me. “She’s been on about you. They have never won the game. How did you win against the brutal Alphas?
ALEXANDER. According to the rule that governs all school games, violence was one of the things that was forbidden. “Looks like you didn’t win despite trying to be a smart ass.” Ken walked over, hands in his pockets and a grin on his face. I chuckled. “You didn't think I was competitive and smart?” “Are you?” He raised his brows, mockingly. I stepped closer, my face a few inches away from his. “You really think I would let you punch me in front of my little ones without retaliating for nothing?” My tone came out clipped. His eyes flickered, putting him in a state of quandary. I let him. Stepping back as the referee came up with the microphone. “Looks like there is no winner,” he said. “There was violence!” A voice yelled from the crowd. It was tiny, the kind that only a child could produce. However, it was firm, hard… one that could only be from a brave kid. As expected it was Israel. He pointed at Ken from where he stood.“He punched my dad and violence especially when ki
ALEXANDER. Lans gave me a long stare, raising his brows at me. Bro had questions but I wasn’t ready to answer until the team was gathered. We had five minutes to talk before the game began. “Okay, what's your big idea, man?” Lans asked.“Math,” I said… with excitement.However, they were the opposite, glancing at each other before they turned to me. “Math what?” Lans asked. Always the first to speak.“We defeat them using math. They might be fast but they are definitely not smarter.” Lans laughed mockingly. “And you think we are smart?” “You don’t have to be smart, we have to be strategic.” Lans raised his brows. “Strategic against Alphas that are way stronger than we are?”“So you want us to give up? Adams, I saw the way you run - super fast, and being little, gives you an advantage. Every Alpha right here has a huge body, twice as big as you are. You can easily slip through, grab a ball, and sweep pass without them noticing.” Adam nodded, getting the whole idea “Lans,
LENA. Pain jolted through my spine, a reminder of the darkness I was plunged into. I must have passed out from bleeding. The smell of ashes filled the air, exuding the incense of burnt medicine. I stirred, forcing myself to open my eyes. When I did, there was a woman a few feet away from the bed that I was on. She sat on the bare floor, her legs folded in front of her. Her eyes were shut. Her red hair was in dreads and it suited her face. She looked young, about my age. She was lost chanting some words to herself. Looking around, there was no one else except for the two of us. Great, I could escape. I gently lifted myself off the bed, getting to my feet before I started to tiptoe toward the door. It was a wooden door. It was quite obvious that it led outside. It was a wooden cabin. I had to make my way through to the door and run as fast as my legs could carry me. Even though I was weak and my wolf had refused to come back to me since the incident with Alexander. Three more step
The game began before we could even formulate a strategy. And goodness, these men were strong. None of us was able to steal their balls. None. I tried but I was slammed to the floor by Ken, he laid his elbow on my back and waved at the audience. I couldn't look at the kids out of shame. They would be so disappointed in me now. I could only imagine how Israel was now glaring at me. The Alphas were stronger than all of us put together. I had the aura, but never the strength. “Team A has now taken half of Team B’s ball!” The announcer uttered over the microphone. His words pierced through the air reminding me of our failure. As much as I tried, I was not able to raise my head to face the kids. I couldn’t look in their face. It felt like I had deeply let them down. Lans ran over to me with a handkerchief, which I collected and wiped my face with. Then, he placed his hand over my shoulder. We were on a break now. “I told you those bastards were strong.” He chuckled. I noticed L
LENA.“Don’t…Don’t touch me!” I yelled, pulling back on my butt. Hot tears ran down my cheeks. My palm was bruised now because I was not on a smooth floor. It was a fucking gravel with broken branches that tore at my flesh and my hands hurt like shit. But this scary man in front of me kept stalking towar me, trying to catch me. Fucking Royce. I had fallen when I was running from him. Now I was trapped in the forest. Now, he was walking toward me with those predatory steps and murderous eyes. Stay away from me, please. Stay away!Tears streamed down my cheeks, My body was trembling with intense fear. My body was tired and about to give up on me. “Nobody is going to save you now, Lena. Nobody.” He laughed … his deep laughter seeped through. Penetrated every part of me. Sick. Dangerous. I could barely even look in his eyes. He was evil. He hid all this darkness behind his playfulness. Who would have thought he was such an evil man? My body had already given up on me at this time. I
