The Alpha’s War Prize: Hearts at War (Book 1) 33: Fists and Falls
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

Zion had approached me where I was seated in my favorite spot, under the tree and asked to talk in his office once again. We’ve been going to that place often and I didn’t have good memories of that place since we always had an argument when we were there. I haven’t forgiven him or forgotten about our argument three days back but he wasn’t going to tell me anything and it’ll be foolish of me to keep demanding he tell me what I wanted to know when it was obvious he wouldn’t. I have made a resolve to find out myself no matter what. I trailed slowly behind him, paying attention to the floor and watching as my feet crunched the dry leaves on the grass. I wouldn’t say I was nervous but my heart seems to pick up it’s pace whenever he was around and it made me uncomfortable how my body was always on alert when he was within a certain range or distance.It was unnerving how his presence caused a contradicting emotion within me, he made me nervous but he also calmed me when he was around. It

It's been ten days and five hours since he left and he had yet to call or talk to me through the mind link. I didn't mind one bit. It was just the mate bond trying to make me lose my mind. There was this desperate urge to see him and be near him but he wasn't here and I had to keep fighting this pull. It was draining and it was making me lose my temper. I couldn't focus long enough to do anything as well. Everything in my mind revolves around him no matter how hard I try to fight it. I had been fighting it since the first day he left and now I just felt like a crack addict except it wasn't cocaine or any hard drugs I needed but my mate. “Are you sure you're okay?” Emily asked because I kept bouncing my legs even though I was sitting. We were outside the pack supervising the small pups who were playing. Rather, Emily was supervising while I was in my head. When she told me she had to watch the pups this morning, I quickly volunteered to join her to keep my mind off him before I wou

I was fast asleep when I felt it. This intense pain passed through my whole body, especially on my back and left leg. It felt like someone was using a knife to cut me through my whole body. I jumped out of bed in a panic and raced to put on the light switch and began to examine my body, searching for where this pain was coming from. I searched everywhere but I couldn't find any sign that I was hurt so it made me confused why I was in such intense pain. I gasped as another wave of pain hit me and made me fall to the floor from how painful it was.If there was no sign of injury on my body, why was I in so much pain….? Zion. He was the one getting hurt.My heart began to race as I examined the pain I was in. If I was in such pain, he must be in a terrible condition.“Zion, are you there? What's wrong?” I asked through our mindlink and waited for an answer but none came.“Fucking answer me dammit” I yelled and my eyes began to water. I was freezing with fearWhen he still didn't answer m

Lily and Elena sat with me and we talked about different things the entire time or rather they talked and I listened because my mind was somewhere else and they had to keep snapping me out of my thoughts that I kept getting lost in.“Tell us what you were like in your old pack. How was things like over there?” Lily nudged me when she realized I was slipping again“It was fine I guess. We did things pretty normal” I say uninterested. My ears were perked up trying to catch any familiar sound that would tell me they were here but nothing “Come on. You can't tell me you did everything the same with us. There must have been things you guys did over there that we don't do here” Elena pushed. She came around to sit on my other side like Lily and now they were crowding me. I was almost at the point of ripping their necks if they didn't leave me alone ”Genny, you have to stop it. Don't let your mind wander. It's going to feel like forever if you keep listening and sniffing out the air to see

I was so tired but there was no way I could close my eyes. I was sitting on Zion’s bed with my right hand gripping his tightly as Elena and another pack doctor ran around the room doing whatever they do to make sure he was okay. “He is still unconscious” I pointed to Elena even though I knew she could already see that. I don’t even know why I pointed out the obvious but I couldn’t breathe properly because it scared me to see him so still even when I know he was alive.“He went through a lot tonight so his body is just recovering. He will be up and back to normal tomorrow morning, I promise” She walked over to me and placed a hand on my shoulders. She squeezed my shoulders in reassurance and I just patted her hands in return.“Why don’t you get some rest, you look like you’re about to pass out soon. Let me give you something to calm your nerves enough to sleep” Elena suggested but I was already shaking my head in refusal “No. I’m not leaving him in this state. I’ll stay here till he’

After my sudden statement, Zion had been shocked enough to let me go so I flew out of the bed and began pacing the room. I was on the verge of bursting into tears because of the emotions that were flooding me all at once. Pain, heartbreak, anger, relief, it was all too much. “You don't mean that” Zion spoke softly as if he was afraid of something. “You know I do. I have a lot of reasons to not hate you” he winced at my words“You are trying to hurt me intently” he pointed out “You were the one who kept me on edge for the entire week” I finally yelled out “no contact what so ever. You can't deny that you didn't feel it. It was your way of punishing me” I snapped. The urge to make him hurt was slowly growing past the relief I had that he was fine and here with me“It wasn't on purpose”“The hell it wasn't” I yelled “Calm down” He ordered but it only made me furious. “Let me explain” he added when he saw I was in no mood for whatever he had in mind“What explanation could you possibl

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
The Alpha’s War Prize: Hearts at War (Book 1) 83: A rare flower
`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
