The Alpha’s War Prize: Hearts at War (Book 1) 27: The mark is a must
There was panic in the entire pack because news have travelled that their Luna to be was sick and in the hospital so there was unease in the pack They knew about the tension between her and their alpha but now she was sick and it was serious, they wondered if she would survive and what would happen to them without their Luna.In the plain hospital room, Zion was agitated. He would not stand still and was pacing furiously around the room.“Zion calm down. Pacing like this won’t make her recover fast and you’re giving us all a headache with your constant growling” His mom snapped Emily sat down beside Geneva’s unconscious body on the bed. She had a bowl of hot water and a towel and was wiping down Geneva’s bodyShe had panicked when Lily and Jamie rushed into the hospital with an unconscious Geneva in Jamie’s arms.They tried everything they could but she wouldn’t wake up and Zion had to send for the seer of the pack and that’s who they were waiting for Zion’s head snapped to Geneva

GENEVA’s POVAll eyes snapped to me at the seer’s words but it wasn’t the mark that had bothered me. It was what she said earlier. I was keeping my pack from going on and finding peace after their death.I thought getting revenge on them and not being with my mate would make them feel justified but it was creating more damage than good.“I was holding them back. I’m so selfish. I didn’t even think of them” I whispered brokenly“Genny, don’t say that. Any daughter or child whose family were killed would do the same. If you didn’t, it would have been suspicious. But now, it’s time to let go and be happy. You deserve it” Emily spoke from where she was standing opposite me beside Zion who I’ve yet to face “Emily is right. Now that you know this, you can finally be happy. Don’t hold back anymore and don’t rob yourself of the happiness that is meant for you” Astrid added“I’ll try” I whispered because that’s all I could promise. I know she said my family wants me to be happy but it wouldn’

It was choking and overwhelming with just the two of us in the room and the tense silence was making everything so much worse.After the emotional draining talk with the girls, I made them call Zion so we could talk but the sight of him killed all the words in my throatI was struggling to come up with what to say and I couldn’t. My head was blank and I had no idea how to begin “You called for me?” He asked me, solving the problem of what would I say“No. Stay there” I practically shouted when he began moving inside the doorI was already going crazy with him on the other end of the room so I knew I wouldn’t be able to think if I allowed him to come further. “You know, I never thought there would be a day when I would willingly want to be in the same room as you but life’s unpredictable and that’s the most infuriating thing about it all. I hate that it’s so uncertain” I suck in a breathe desperate to get a hold of myself “Did I do something?” There was a edge to his voice but ther

I was startled awake by something but I didn’t know what. I laid in my bed, now in my room and not sure how I got here.Shame flooded my stomach remembering how I passed out after Zion bit me. I’m such a wuss. I wished it was a dream but the tingling sensation on my neck, in the space where my neck met my collar bone.I could feel the bond in place and it felt alive. I felt alive and like I finally belonged somewhere. I was no longer an outsider. I have a new family now. I could feel a gentle push that could be likened to a knock. Someone from the pack was trying to talk to me so I opened the link“Are you awake Luna?” Lily teased. “Regrettably So” I winced as I was attacked with an onslaught on headache “It’s normal, the headache will fade within a few hours” She said as if she could see the pain in my face“How did I get to my room? Thought I would still be in the pack clinic” my mouth opened wide and a yawn escaped from my lips making my mouth water “Who else? As if Zion would

I have been trying to avoid Zion and I think he noticed and decided to stay away from me but now I hate it. I hate not being able to see his face anymore. I hate that my heart skips a beat when I smell him around the corner and I hate that I’m on the verge of screaming when the scent suddenly disappears as if it was never there.“Earth to Geneva” Elena snapped her fingers in front of my face, bringing me out of my thoughts “You’ve been lost in thoughts since we got here. Are you sure you’re okay?” Lily asked with concern “Sorry. We promised to hang out today but I’m just so lost in my head” I mumbled embarrassed that I couldn’t get my shit together“Tell me, what’s going on in that head of yours. Is it a certain Alpha?” She teased “Maybe. I don’t know” I could feel his presence in my head, like he was wrapped around me like a blanket. It felt like we were one. The feeling is euphoric but alarming at the same time “I totally understand. It takes time to get used to someone lurking

It was a full moon today and just like every other full moon, I missed my pack dearly. I tried not to think of how I was living and mated with the same person who took them from meCurrently, I was laying on the grass near the stream and staring at the large expanse of stars in the skies. It was so beautiful and the moon shone so bright “The moon shines just like your eyes princess” Dad would tell me every full moon whenever we looked at them. I knew he was only saying it to make me feel better about not attending the run and it always worked Today however, there was no run and there was no one to make me feel better so I was hiding. Unlike my previous pack, the full moon meant nothing to the Valis pack. To them, it was just another day. They didn’t take relish in their heightened senses and just went about their daily activities like any other day “There’s no pack run or hunt today?” I remember asking Lily this morning when I saw how calm everyone was “What pack run?” She asked

It was very early in the morning when someone knocked on my door claiming to have training clothes for me and they were sent by the Alpha. I was surprised to open the door and see someone with a bag of clothes. “From the Alpha. He asked me to drop this here with you” the young girl had said before thrusting the bag into my hands and disappearing into the hallway before I could ask any questions.I moved back into my room and emptied the bag on the bed to find different training outfits laid out. “I don’t think I need this much” I mumbled in surprise “I didn’t know what you’d like so I just told them to grab one of everything they could find” Zion’s voice came through the mindlink“Thank you?” I don’t know why it sounded more of a question than a statement but I still found it skewed to talk to him especially through the mindlink. It was so strangely intimate and it made me feel weird“You’re welcome. Isaac is waiting for you at the training grounds. You know where that is right?”“

“I can see a great fighter approaching.” Lily teased as I joined them in the lounge. Today was one of the rare days when she didn’t have work to do. “You’re exaggerating. I basically had my ass whooped this morning” I moaned before dropping on the chair and laying my entire weight on her “I don’t doubt that” Elena said appearing through the door “Aren’t you supposed to be at the pack clinic?” I asked, pleasantly surprised. She was always working because people were always sick these days. “I took a day off. Isaac’s been grumbling about how less he sees me so I had to before he would kidnap me and won’t let me go to work again” she whined “He’ll definitely do that” Lily chuckled “So what are you doing here instead of being with your mate?” I teased “He claims I’m always busy but decides to train the entire warriors today of all days. It’s like he’s punishing me” she pouted and we burst into laughter “I can’t picture Isaac being vindictive” I told them and it was true. He was so

The Alpha’s War Prize: Hearts at War (Book 1) His War Prize
THREE YEARS LATER...I was taking a walk through the garden towards the back of the pack house because my feet hurt and I needed to visit Ethan. It was swollen and Elena advised that I took as many walks as I could to alleviate the pain.I was due to give birth any moment from now and was not supposed to wander too far from the pack house but Elaine was with me.“Mom, are you okay? Do you need to sit for a minute?” He asked worriedly as I wobbled for a minute.“No, I’m fine. I need to stop sitting down every time.” I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me.When we got to where Ethan was buried, Elaine wandered off with Indigo leaving me alone. There was a chair beside the grave from the last time I visited.“Hey, Ethan. I came to say goodbye. I’m going to have a baby soon and I’ve decided to let go of my past, including you. I should have listened to Zion about not burying you here in the pack house but then I was desperate and wanted to hold on to the only family
The Alpha’s War Prize: Hearts at War (Book 1) 85: is this the end?
My head was spinning. I didn’t want to believe the person looking back at me with so much hatred was Ethan. My brother who I thought was dead. No, Ethan can’t be alive.“Ethan? How is this possible? How are you alive?” I was losing my breath and Zion rushed over to my side to pick me up “I saw you die” I screamed.I saw Indigo tense on top of him and my eyes finds her claws on his neck, ready to rip it out if he even tried to move.“Indigo, stop it” I yelled, running towards her to push her off him “Let him go, he is not a threat” I cried out but she didn’t move. She saw him as a threat and she was not going to let him go.“Zion, tell her to get off him. She is going to hurt him” I ran to his side.“Geneva, please calm down and examine the situation. He is here with that woman. I think he is the one that has been trying to kill you all this time”“What are you saying? He is my brother, Zion. He would never try to harm me. I know it’s all a misunderstanding” I refused to believe that E

I pushed my food around in my plate, unable to eat a single bite. My insides were still trembling after the visit to Astrid. I know she told me not to worry but I couldn’t help but think of the part where she said the person had decided to finish what he started and very soon.I wasn’t ready at all. I know early I kind of boasted about my fighting skills but I was terrified. It felt like my insides were twisted in a painful manner and I couldn’t breathe well.“Genny” Lily called and I looked up from my plate to meet her concerned gaze “What’s wrong? Are you still thinking of what Astrid said?”I tried to smile at her but it came out as a grimace instead. We were having dinner in the pack kitchen and I could not find it in me to join in their little discussions.“Don’t worry about a thing. You have all of us, we would never let anything happen to you” Lily reached out to give my hand a little squeeze.“She is right, Gen. We will protect you. Have you forgotten we are the most powerful

`I clung to Zion’s arms as we walked towards Astrid’s hut. Indigo ran ahead of us as though she knew exactly where we were going. I was still shaken by the incident earlier and it made me so scared that the person who was trying to kill me had gotten so close without anyone noticing. We aren’t safe at all.Before we left, Zion had ordered for some warriors to be stationed outside our door but I refused. It would be too overwhelming to see them guarding the door. It was like a constant reminder that I wasn’t safe. We had argued about it but he finally relented and allowed me to have my way.I was no longer the weak girl that was taken from my pack. I was stronger and a better fighter. I wanted to believe that I would be able to take care of myself in case anything happened even though I hoped nothing would happen.I hoped that Astrid had some answers for us. She had been searching for answers on the poison that was used for so long and I was already close to giving up hope that she wou

It’s been just a few hours since Zion left with Elaine, leaving just me and Indigo in the house but she had already grown on me. It didn’t help that she kept trailing behind me wherever I went and it was funny. If I got out of her sight for a minute, she would come barrelling through the house, sniffing everywhere to know where I was. I looked behind at my new shadow where she laid sprawled on the kitchen floor as I did the dishes. I had to take her to Elena this morning so I missed out on training with Isaac so I could get a few things done before I took her to the pack clinic. “Are you going to follow me into the bathroom when it’s time for me to take a bath? Zion would kill you before that happen” I said playfully with a chuckle. I arranged the dishes into the racks and headed to my room so I could take a shower. When I entered the bathroom, Indigo attempted to follow me but I stopped her before she could get into the bathroom.“No, No, No, where do you think you are going? Sit”

I blinked open and felt a heavy weight on my chest. I looked down and shrieked in surprise to see the panther, Indigo laying on me and purring softly. I scrambled to the end of the bed in shock but the panther didn’t move from the spot and gave me a bored look before resting on its paws.I looked around the room and saw Elaine sitting on the floor beside the bed and he was busy playing with her tail and giggling.“You are so silly, Mummy. Indigo won’t hurt you. She is a good girl” He said and purred the animal who purred in response and even licked Elaine’s hand and he burst into another fit of giggles.“Stop, indie, it tickles”I sat back down hesitantly and looked at the animal who seemed to be better. It seems whatever Elena gave it was successful in helping it recover quickly but that didn’t explain why it was on my bed, on me.“Zion” I called out “Where is your daddy, baby?”“He is making breakfast in the kitchen” Elaine said happily and I understood why. We were used the kitchen

We were having dinner in the pack house’s kitchen and it was one of those rare days when Jamie, Isaac, Elena, Lily and even Zion was present. Things have been slow lately so everyone was less busy. The pack was peaceful and it gave us enough time to connect and do things together.“Where is Elaine?” Lily asked as she took a bite of the chicken Emily had grilled to perfection earlier.“He is playing with the other pups. I can’t get him to stay in one place even to eat” I complained and they all burst out laughing.“He takes after you. You are so difficult to handle” Elena comments and I throw the napkin beside me at her face.They’ve all come to accept Elaine as me and Zion’s pup naturally and sometimes they referred to him as though I gave birth to him, always claiming that he takes certain traits from me or Zion and it made me happy.Elaine has also settled in as being our pup too well. The room Zion made for him was beautiful and Elaine actually cried when he first saw it. Zion may

I knocked on Zion’s office door, my heart was pounding in my chest. I wanted to tell him immediately before I chickened out. Adopting Elaine out of the blue was something that would change our lives and I really want him to agree with my decision.“Come in” Zion called from the other side. I don’t even know why I knocked when I could have just gone in. I guessed I needed time to gather my thoughts.I pushed the door open with shaky hands and entered the office. Seeing his rugged look made me fall in love with him all over again. I missed him so much even though we slept in the same bed last night.His face lit up into a smile when he saw me. He closed the files he had been going through and stood up. I watched with a small smile as he walked over to me and pulled me into a hug.“Hey, beautiful. What brings you here? Are you okay?”He pressed his lips to mine in what was supposed to be a chaste kiss but I clung to him, deepening the kiss because I missed him so much. He had been too qu

“Elaine, stop running baby or you’ll hurt yourself” I yelled from where I sat under the huge tree and watched him run around the large field chasing butterflies with the other pups.There was a smile on my face as I watched him giggle and push the other pups lightly. We have been spending almost every day together since Zuri left since I wanted to give Zion and Emily the space they needed. Zion wasn’t taking Zuri’s leaving well. He had been moody, not to me but to the others. He doesn’t talk much or eat much.I wanted to comfort him but I knew he needed time and space to miss her and accept that the decision was the best for Zuri. Elaine was the perfect remedy to distract me from everything. He always made me laugh with his antics and he was annoyingly curious and was always in my face asking the weirdest questions.“You can take your eyes off him for a minute. He won’t disappear or get hurt if you continue reading that book in your lap” Lily said with a laugh and I turn to glare at h
