The Alpha Games Chapter 122 - Plans and Schemes
Inga POV - There was a lot of fidgeting around her as Autumn brought in five mugs of steaming tea, three of which got immediately disregarded. Inga accepted hers gratefully and took a long slurp from its edge, enjoying stretching out each second as the eyes on her narrowed. She sighed as the liquid warmed her insides then went for a second sip. “Oh, for fucks sake.” Nala grumbled. Inga met her eyes over the rim and offered her a wink before handing her mug to Connor. “Could you hold this for me, Mr Dark Night? It’s difficult with my hands tied.” When he didn’t take it immediately, she shrugged. “I’ll start after its finished then.” Before the mug reached her lips a third time, he took it from her, his expression tight as she thanked him. Tension flickered in his jaw, and she found herself remembering the small smiles she had seen on his lips and wishing them to come back. She doubted she’d see them anytime soon, but the longer she dragged out the truth, the more his scowl wou
The Alpha Games Chapter 123 - The choice
Connor POV - The night air chilled against his skin, the open territory doing nothing to shield against the light breeze rolling over the land. It was late, or early, Connor wasn’t sure, but he could feel the hour weighing on him as much as the information Inga had shared. His head ached from the whiplash of their changing situation. His mind was trying to break apart everything he thought he knew and piece it back together again with the new truth. It felt like he had been flung back to the start again, with the last few days being a complete waste of time and new challenges set before him. Those challenges were the true reason him and Nala were at Grey Stone. Their chance to win the Luna Games, and gain an alliance, a lie that had been orchestrated by Inga to reel them in. He should be angry, he knew he should, but the feeling never came. Maybe it had been her honesty, the desperation in her voice when she asked for help, or the imploring gleam in her eyes, but he couldn’t
The Alpha Games Chapter 124 - Figuring her out
Connor POV - Connor’s stomach dropped, twisting in the face of her loss. An apology burned on his tongue, trying to figure out how to say such words without caring about the wolves that endangered his home when, suddenly, her hard look cracked, a giggle bubbling past her lips. “Your face.” She snorted. “So, they’re not dead?” He grumbled. “Oh no, they are.” She shrugged and waved off the issue “Don’t worry about it, though, they haven’t spoken to me for years. To them, me and my parents were tools to be used to keep their alliance to Red Dawn strong. Even now, after Red Dawn left them in the attack, they’ll still be their lap dogs, making whatever sacrifice they need.” She sneered. “They weren't real family. I don’t associate with spineless wolves.” Simple words helped to piece together more of the puzzle that was Inga. Grey Stone’s situation was much like Wild Shore’s, with their upper ranks making decisions that sacrificed their wolves to maintain a strong alliance. It
The Alpha Games Chapter 125 - The revolution
Connor POV - As promised, the meeting with the wolves, who supported Inga's revolution, and wanted change in the pack, was held the next day. It took more preparation from the Beta than Connor realised it would, but all he had to do was turn up at the right time and place. She had organised a distraction, security and got the word around about the spontaneous event. A small part of him felt guilty for making Inga rush to organise it. It was only a small part though; their timeline was shrinking by the second and they needed a plan. As he headed over to the designated meeting area, on the western side of the pack, Connor was intercepted by the security. Warriors had been placed at intervals, preventing any wolf from approaching without being seen. It was like their own personal border patrol protecting the meeting. Once he confirmed he was Inga’s friend, and they checked it with the Beta, he was allowed to pass by, but it was another quarter of a mile before he saw the convened gro
The Alpha Games Chapter 126 - Alex Stone
Connor POV-Inga concluded the meeting whilst a fiery determination was humming in every wolf’s veins. As one, the revolution dispersed, in small groups and in different directions, with the instructions to be careful and keep spreading the word. All in all, it had been good, and Connor had been glad to see Inga in her element. She had almost become a different wolf before him, far more comfortable than he had seen her before and dare he say.... Nurturing. Her concern hadn’t been power or pushing her ideas, but keeping the wolves calm and informed. She was a natural leader who had found her wolves to lead. Well, until Alex came along.
The Alpha Games Chapter 127 - Lazy stroll
With nowhere else to be, and their time frame for action ever shrinking, Connor and Inga used their stroll to discuss their next steps. Given their fake history, no one would question them if they were seen, and they’d have plenty of time to change their conversation if anyone tried to approach. For once, the territory was working in his favour, and Connor allowed himself to relax. It wasn’t often he could switch off his alert system while on enemy territory, but with Inga at his side, both their eyes on their surroundings, he felt as safe as he could be. With the unhurried pace that matched the slow drift of the afternoon sun, the pair wandered the open plains of Grey Stone. It was even more remarkably flat than Connor had first thought. Apart from a fe
The Alpha Games Chapter 128 - Snooping into trouble
Connor POV - Escaping the packhouse, to snoop around the territory, during the changeover of the guards was easy. Far easier than remaining in the building to search the upper ranks’ offices. Not only would the next shift of warriors take their place on each floor, and have to be avoided, but a lot of wolves were staying in the packhouse. All those partaking in the Luna Games, all the upper ranked wolves and their extended family. It only took one of those wolves to spot him and start asking questions to make a fuss and ruin his plans. It was risky but Connor had been in worse situations before and was confident in his ability to talk his way out of any stray questions. His options were also limited. Night was the only time of the day he had the chance to look around, and their time frame was shortening by the day. They had five days to figure out what Grey Stone was doing and seize control of the pack. It wasn't long, and he had to use every opportunity that presented itself. T
The Alpha Games Chapter 129 - A thread
Connor POV - The footsteps stopped outside the door, pausing for only a moment before the handle twisted. Connor gripped the knife tighter, his knuckles glowing white in the darkness. As the door edged open, slowly obscuring him from the view of the person entering, he prepared himself. He knew his presence wouldn’t be hidden. In that room, he could barely pick up Inga’s scent and yet his was fresh. He had planned to excuse the scent the next day claiming he had been searching for Inga, if anyone even bothered to ask. However, to be caught in the act, nosing around at night when she’d be at home, disregarded any excuse he had to be there. The wolf’s scent reached him, but its familiarity didn’t calm him. If anything, it made his muscles more taut. He was frozen, hoping the wolf would move on, that the thick dust in the air would hide his presence, but those hopes deflated as the wolf stepped inside and shut the door. “I know you’re in here.” Alex said, though he aimlessly loo
