-
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

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
The Alpha Games Chapter 132 - A new touch
Connor POV - Connor didn’t think twice before he walked into Inga’s house. He didn’t even bother to knock. He knew she was home. Her scent was fresh at the door, and, for once, she hadn’t randomly turned up while he was investigating, so he was sure there wasn’t anywhere else she could be. When he opened the front door however, he didn’t expect the scent of blood to be laced in the air. Immediately, he was on guard. A rush of urgency flew through his veins as he locked onto the soft noises in the house, trying to find her, but his mind scrambled as panic flooded him. “Inga?” He shouted; his voice breathy, his heart rate rocketing. “Inga!” “Urgh, shut up would you.” A voice groaned from the kitchen. Connor moved, darting down the tight hallway and bursting into the small kitchen. Inga was at the table, but it wasn’t lunch spread on its surface. A first aid kit had been emptied, its contents spilling around the table. There were three items brought to the front; a needl
The Alpha Games Chapter 133 - Taking watch
Connor POV - Despite her protests, Connor was the one who made them a warm cup of tea and finished tidying the table, while she settled on the couch in the front room. Inga had been adamantly against it at first but, once he threatened to carry her to the living room, she quickly backed down and hobbled off. He had no doubt she would’ve forced herself to do everything otherwise, and was certain she’d get it done, even if her stitches burst and he’d have to patch her up again. Though, maybe she wouldn’t let him a second time. The way she had stared at his touch, accepting but wary, made him think of a wild animal who was only used to being shunned. “Thank you for the files. I’ll put them to good use.” He told her, as he carried in their drinks and forced some biscuits into her hands. She had lost a lot of blood; it was a surprise she hadn’t passed out. Inga grunted a thank you but tucked in like a ravenous beast. He let her, taking a seat at the opposite end of the couch, rath
The Alpha Games Chapter 134 - Ambush
Nala POV - By the next morning, Nala was starting to feel a prickle of unease scurry over her skin. She still hadn’t seen Connor and, worse, he hadn’t returned to his room the previous night. She had waited up, hoping for a chance to talk to him, but when the early hours ticked over, she gave up, needing to get some rest. When morning came, she was glad she had done. There was no sign he had been to his room or even entered the packhouse the previous evening. There was no fresh scent to catch anywhere, and Nala was about to search the rest of the territory when Autumn collared her. An urgent call for the next presentation had been announced. Rather than the usual thirty-minute head start, she only had ten. Autumn had tried pulling her up the stairs, but Nala was happy to miss the event if it meant making sure Connor was okay. Her friend had smirked then and reassured her he was safe and happy. Rather than give any more details, she instead chose to run up the stairs, giggling as N

The Alpha Games Bonus Chapter 3 - Connor and Inga
Inga POV - There had been few moments in Inga’s life when she had stopped to simply observe the world around her. There had always been something she needed to do, every single action having a purpose towards her goal to liberate Grey Stone of their leadership and break free from Red Dawn. Each step forward she had carried that responsibility, that burden, but it was finally gone. Eleanor was dead, Autumn was the Grey Stone Alpha, and she was no longer a Beta. Well, she was in name, but she was free of the role’s duties during her and Connor’s break. The moment she had recovered from the war, Silver Night had been their first stop to confirm their decision with Alpha Michael, and then they were off. Connor didn’t waste any time taking her away from everything, carving out a small piece of the kingdom just for them. He took her to the one place he knew better than anywhere, a place where they could be alone. Dark Night was beautiful in a tragic way. The years of battle had scarred t
The Alpha Games Bonus Chapter 2 - Nala and Autumn
Nala POV - “Do you give up?” Nala growled in Autumn’s ear, nipping the soft flesh beneath it. Her mate squealed and wiggled beneath her. Nala smiled as she managed to squirm her legs free and wrapped them around her waist, giving her the purchase to roll them over. She could’ve stopped it, but why would she when it gave her such a great view. Autumn sat astride her waist, pinning her arms to her side with her thighs, a victorious grin on her perfect mouth. Her chest heaved with each pant, and she watched a bead of sweat fall from her chin and slide into her cleavage. Nala's tongue flicked across her lips, a pang of heat swelling in her core. “Ha!” The Alpha shouted, letting her head fall back, her red hair falling around her in wave after wave of beautiful curls. Nala’s fingers twitched at the memory of their softness. “I did it. I finally pinned you.” She laughed, the sound spreading across the empty training field. Nala took the opportunity to look over her mate’s form, gr
The Alpha Games Bonus Chapter 1 - Maddie and Michael
Michael POV - “That could’ve been us.” Nala snorted, elbowing him in the gut with a force that almost winded him. It was almost horrifying to picture being mated to his friend. He thought as much as he rubbed his side, already feeling a bruise forming, but didn't get a chance to respond as she turned back to Alpha Autumn. The Grey Stone wolf leaned in to hear Nala's whispers and immediately bloomed a stark red. She fumbled for something to say and ended up thrusting their pup into the warrior's arms instead. Nala lifted the pup to her shoulders, letting him wave widely at the couple on the stage, though it didn't stop her from leaving a hand on Autumn's thigh.Michael chuckled. It was a good thing she had vehemently denied becoming his mate to broker a stronger alliance between their packs. He shuddered to consider it now, but it was easier to laugh about it when they both sat beside their mates, watching the rightful leaders of the pack take their positions.“Mountain Forest, I giv

Inga POV - When one closes their eyes for what they think will be the last time, it’s odd when they open them again. Though everything was blurry and bright, Inga was sure it wasn’t a dream or her imagination playing tricks on her. The pain lancing through her skull could attest for that. Sound came first. The rustling of material beside her, followed by a few sharp shouts that were blaringly loud, as if right beside her ear, but far too muffled for any word to be clear. Her frustration bubbled like hot water beneath her skin, her drive to understand what was going on far greater than her submission to the pain or fatigue trying to pull her back into slumber. She blinked open her eyelids, wincing through the blur of colours that moulded into oddly shaped blobs. One particular blob leaned in close, too close, and her body reacted on its own. Her arm jerked up; her fist semi clenched as her muscles ignored her instincts. She punched the blob, or more like tapped it with her fis
The Alpha Games Chapter 153 - Time to rest
Inga POV - It may have only been two stories, but after the day she had had, the week, hitting the ground felt like hitting a wall that punched the words of giving up to her tongue. Inga swallowed them, her mouth dry, clawing to hold onto her surrender. Every inch of her ached. The impact jarred through her body, making her head ring and her vision dizzy. At least she had managed to push Luna Eleanor off her while they fell. Inga didn’t want to think about the additional pain she’d be in if that bitch had landed on her. If luck was with her, hopefully the Luna had fallen on her face or, better yet, a knife. The night sky was a blanket of black spread out above her, dotted with stars, like glitter threaded into a plush blanket. She was so tired that the paved road at her back felt comfier than her bed back at Grey Stone. Just thinking of that bed made her remember her last night in it, cuddled at Connor’s side, in disbelief and awe that he was there. He made her feel safe, he made h
The Alpha Games Chapter 152 - Failed protection
Inga POV - Inga didn’t so much as flinch when the door cracked hard enough against the wall that it dented the plaster. She didn’t blink when six wolves barrelled inside. She didn’t hesitate as one of the warriors felt gutsy and charged her before the others. She didn’t give him the chance to attack. He had asked for her attention; he had unknowingly drawn the short straw. She lunged. Her body protested as she forced it to shift, but it obeyed. The glare she pinned to the wolf as she moved towards him, made him freeze with the instinct of prey already caught by the predator. It was his lack of discipline to refine his reflexes that was his downfall. The warrior didn’t so much as jerk as her jaws latched onto his arm, her canines digging deep into his flesh. The familiar warm, metallic, taste of blood pooled on her tongue, a wave of feral victory washing through her. With no time to bask in its glow, she twisted her head until she heard the bone snap, before letting the wolf go and re
The Alpha Games Chapter 151 - Final stand
Inga POV - “Okay. Just stand back, there’s wounded in here.” Lewis raised his voice through the door, then waited, listening for the slow shuffle of feet. Inga listened too, trying to catch any small whispers of deceit among the crowd of Red Dawn warriors waiting for them. “We’re coming out.” The trio shared one final nod, before the Beta twisted the handle and the door swung open. Her stomach was in knots looking out at the wolves watching them, waiting, their eyes predatory. There were at least six; enough to block the corridor that stretched directly from the door towards the stairs, but Inga was certain there were others. She spotted the Red Dawn Alpha and Daniel standing behind their warriors, the leadership safe except for Luna Eleanor. She had the balls to stand at the front. Inga didn’t have to fake the way her face paled as she locked gazes with the Luna. The gleam in her eyes was malicious, her lips lifting as she took in Inga’s hunched form, leaning so far onto Jami
The Alpha Games Chapter 150 - Determination to fight
Inga POV - Clawing at Lewis’ arms did nothing. The man was pure muscle and resilience, ignoring her cries for Connor, ignoring her curses, ignoring her pleas for him to stop. Against the Red Dawn warriors, she doubted she’d be much good anyway. Her body felt heavy, like her veins were filled with lead, every muscle protesting her orders. She couldn’t even lift the arm where Luna Eleanor had stabbed her. Even wiggling her fingers sent shooting pains all through her body. Inga had been stabbed before, most warriors had, but it felt different. Her energy, her strength, was sapped. It was like the blade was draining her. However, none of that mattered. Connor was her mate; she couldn’t leave him behind to face all those warriors alone. She had to try and help him. Again, Inga pounded on Lewis’ chest, each impact jarring her, but none of them made the Silver Night warrior even flinch. It was like she was a fly bumping against a window, the force hurting her and not even smearing his s
The Alpha Games Chapter 149 - First blood
Connor POV - He was sure his heart stopped, freezing time for the span of a breath, as Inga tipped on the stairs. Her body shifted backward, falling with only the hard stairs to catch her. The silver blade in her shoulder caught the light as she became airborne. Its flash shot through Connor’s mind, jerking him back to his body, forcing a fresh dose of adrenaline through his system. He charged forward, reaching with desperate hands to catch her, to soften her fall, to protect her. He wasn’t sure if it was a miracle, or a divine gift from the Moon Goddess, but the moment he felt her back push against his fingertips, the panic eased, relief chased it away. He was allowed a breath, but the brief moment of calm was crushed as Inga crashed into him. Connor was off balance. His only goal had been to soften her fall, but he didn’t have time to catch her. Her weight pushed him back, forcing him to join her fall, but he wrapped his arms tight around her, curling into her, protecting he
