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
The Alpha Games Chapter 130 - A gift
Nala POV - After not sleeping the night before, Autumn had to apply a lot of makeup to Nala’s under eye to hide the dark circles that lingered there. “Did you spend the night with someone?” The eldest Stone sibling teased. Nala snorted but didn’t answer. Though Autumn was involved in the revolution, supplying information on the goings on within the upper ranks, she didn’t want to get her involved more than necessary. Of all of them she was taking the biggest risk, and Nala knew guilt would gnaw at her if it was her fault Autumn got caught. There wasn’t much to say anyway. Her search of the lower levels of the packhouse had revealed nothing except that there were a few more bitter wolves among the attendants than their silent, amiable demeanours suggested. Staying up to wait for the change of guards, searching for hours, and then being unable to catch a single wink of sleep on her return to bed had merely resulted in her being exhausted. It had all been for nothing. Or she as
The Alpha Games Chapter 131 - Rogue visit
Connor POV - It was an early start for Connor and, despite getting no sleep, he was wide awake as he weaved through the morning bustle of the Grey Stone pack. He had work to do. Sleep could come later. He didn’t even bother to wait for Nala to get up so he could get her up to speed. She had her task to stay in the Luna Games, and he trusted her to find a way to hold on as long as possible, just as he was sure she would trust him to get his tasks done. His new task was related to what he found out the night before, from the information Alex had shared and the files he had collected. The documents that backed up Alex’s theory were the ones containing the changes to the pack wolves, death records, births and newcomers, and the hospital admissions records. Whenever there was an influx of newcomers, the pack hospital was put under stress for weeks. It was a pattern. One he intended to follow. The other files he had grabbed were the dusty ones on Inga’s desk. He knew she wouldn’t have
