Sian FlemingThis chapter got way too long so I've split it in two. Hopefully the next part will be up soon. :)

Connor POV - Words didn’t come to him straight away. No, Connor didn’t know about Alpha Jonathan’s past with the current Red Dawn Luna, but it was a puzzle piece that connected others and began to answer the original question of ‘why’. Just hearing that new part of the origins of their war cast his thoughts into a spiderweb of ideas and plans and conclusions he immediately wanted to air or take to his brother. In battle, all information would add to one’s power and he could see how the small nugget of truth could be of use. However, Connor stopped his swirling mind as abruptly as her words had kicked it off. It was more information Inga had kept from him, but he wasn’t bothered about that. He was bothered by why she was telling him now. “No.” He huffed. “Are you calling me a liar?” She growled. Her arm still stretched between them, her fingers splayed over his chest, curling to dig into his skin at the accusation. “Not at all. I believe you, but I don’t care. The war, our pac
The Alpha Games Chapter 143 - Preparation
Connor POV - Connor knew it was probably bad form to be standing in a battle strategy meeting with a stupid ass grin on his face, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't compose himself. Everyone had noticed and, by the way Inga blushed every time she looked at him, it was no secret why he was smiling so much. However, at least she managed to stay focused. He couldn’t even attempt to be serious when his mind kept wandering to their evening together. There hadn’t been much to it. They shared a drink, they talked, they went to sleep, but, somehow, it was simply perfect. Lying at her side, listening to her soft breaths, feeling them play across his chest as he held her. He could’ve stayed there forever. If it wasn’t for his brother’s nagging mindlink that morning he would’ve. Though Connor wasn’t adding anything of use to the meeting, Inga was. Among the Alphas, Betas and warriors in the office, she had wrestled her way to the front, determined to have her say. With Autumn new t
The Alpha Games Chapter 144 - Not alone
Maddie POV - The carpet beneath her feet was worn from how much Maddie had been pacing for the past day. She had kept herself busy when Michael had first left for Grey Stone, but now she couldn’t fight the rising anxiety bubbling within her. The only thing that seemed to calm it was pacing the length of her room, over and over. It was the place his scent was the strongest on the entire territory, but even that was beginning to fade. If she stopped for even a moment, her thoughts began to twist, tormenting her with questions of the unknown and planting false answers in her mind. In the week since her Luna ceremony, Michael had been at her side constantly. They had so much to deal with as soon as they took over leadership of Silver Night, but they had done it together. In Michael’s battle strategy meetings, she was there sharing her thoughts. In Maddie’s pack expansion meeting, he was there providing the knowledge on the Dark Night wolves so they could construct them homes they’d
The Alpha Games Chapter 145 - Last stop before war
Inga POV - “That’s good, Jamie. Really good.” Connor praised; his smile far too bright for Inga’s liking. She scowled at him through the rear-view mirror, but his attention was fully on the rogue. He must’ve felt her glare, she was sure of it, but he didn’t so much as blink or glance in her direction. Inga’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, her knuckles white, her foot pressing down on the accelerator. However, neither of which cooled her souring mood. It was bad enough knowing the four of them were headed into enemy territory to start a war, and they’d be one slip up away from imprisonment, or worse, but to spend their last moments together sitting beside other wolves sucked. However, with Connor coaching the rogue on how to keep her expression neutral and intentions hidden, Inga was close to bailing on the mission all together. If the lives of so many wolves weren’t at stake, she might’ve done, just to see his face. “Erm, guys, perhaps this is a good place to stop.”
The Alpha Games Chapter 146 - Infiltrating the enemy
Inga POV - Goddess, she wished Connor was in the front of the car with her, but Inga knew that would be foolish. How could she drive onto Red Dawn’s territory claiming to be their ally if she was reaching for him for support. It was his own stupid fault. She had been fine only needing herself to get through the shitty situations life threw at her, but he had to come along and be sweet and kind and funny and strong and so fucking gorgeous. The same cocky grin that made her melt, could also become a simple smile that offered her nothing but understanding. He had promised her everything whereas she had barely managed to promise to try, yet he was happy with that. How could the same man who teased and flirted with her, been okay to just hold her all night. Connor had been right, that night on the couch had been the best sleep of her life. Well, until last night. She had never used someone’s chest as a pillow before and now she didn’t think she’d ever be able to sleep with anything
The Alpha Games Chapter 147 - Maintaining the act
Inga POV - It had been hours since she had seen Connor. Hours since they had arrived at Red Dawn and he had been taken to his cell. Apart from Jamie returning to her side and confirming him and Lewis were locked up, she hadn’t heard anything about him since. The not knowing itched at her, stealing her attention, nagging at her thoughts when she needed to be focused. Despite being bound with silver, Inga’s role was far more dangerous than his. Where he was locked away waiting for his role to come, Inga had to keep her cover, plant false information and play to Red Dawn’s tune without raising suspicions. Unfortunately, that included joining Luna Eleanor, Daniel and the Alpha for dinner. Inga hadn’t packed for such an event, but Eleanor graciously offered her a dress to wear. The fabric was binding, black and stark against her skin, wrapping her from her neck to her knees. She felt like she was being squeezed from every angle. Not only was it a horrible dress, but it restricted her m
The Alpha Games Chapter 148 - Not the plan
Connor POV - Despite their success in planting the false information to fool Luna Eleanor, Connor couldn’t help but grumble in his cell. It wasn’t the tender wounds still healing over his body, after Jacobs beat the crap out of him, or the burning silver in his system, that made his veins feel like lava. No, it was Daniel. The bastard had touched Inga. There was no way the touch was invited or wanted, and yet he had his hand on her throat, caressing below her lip. The cell had seemed small and uncomfortable before, but now it felt like a true prison. She was out there, somewhere in the packhouse, with that creep roaming around. Connor hated not knowing if his mate was safe. Maybe his focus should’ve been on his own survival given he had lost the feeling in his wrists many hours ago and felt like a year of fatigue was weighing him down, but he didn’t care about himself. Not with his mate among the enemy. His back was pressed tight to the cool stone wall. Lewis had told him it w
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

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
The Alpha Games Epilogue - Home
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
