The Alpha’s War Prize: Hearts at War (Book 1) 49: Get out
My head is aching and the people that keep coming in and out of my room were not helping either. Emily sat beside me, wrapping me in her embrace while the pack warriors kept sniffing all over my room as if a miraculous answer or the girl would pop out from thin air.“Did you see what direction she went in?” Jamie asks again and my annoyance level goes up to a maximum “No, Jamie. I was busy getting a plate of hot soup off my face” I snapped because this is the fourth time he was asking me the same question.“Sorry. I'm just frustrated and angry. There are no traces, not even a small one and I doubt she is a member of the pack if Emily can't recognise her” He pushes his hands through his hair, frustration evident in his rigid form.“What about Zion? Has he been told?” Emily asks Jamie while I lean more into her arms. She tighten her hold around me and used her free arms to brush my hair to calm me down.“Yes, he’s on his way now” Jamie answers before throwing me one concerned look befo

“Do you think I was too hard on him? I admit I may have gone overboard but I couldn’t control myself. We had a fight earlier and then the incident happened. Everything was so overwhelming and I took it out on him when he was just trying to help. But it was also his fault, he is keeping secrets from me, what did he expect? Am I wrong?” Emily sat on the chair with a wide smile on her face as she listened to me rant on and on about my feelings without interrupting which I was more than grateful for. “I don’t even know what I feel. If it’s guilt or anger but anger towards who? Me? Zion? The girl who tried to poison me?” I paused pacing and took a seat beside Emily. I was so frustrated and didn’t know what to do. Zion was hurting wherever he was and it was ripping me into two. I didn’t mean to but I didn’t want to apologize too. “You need to take a walk. Walk with me, come” Emily stood up from the bed and took my hand in hers.“Emily, this is not the time for a walk. I don’t feel like

I open my eyes to see a little girl. She was squatting and peering at me with curiosity. I was about to sit up when I felt something heavy on my chest. I looked down a little surprised to see Elaine still on my lap and he wasn't asleep anymore. I sat up and adjusted him properly since the little guy didn't seem eager to get off me. I turn my attention back to the little girl whose attention was now on Elaine.“Why are you hugging the Luna? She isn't your mummy” I don't think she meant to be rude but the little man took it personally and glared at her real hard before bursting into tears“Why are you crying? I only asked you a question?” She was genuinely curious and didn't mean to hurt him.“What's your name?” I ask her instead when Elaine won't stop crying.“Mila. Why is he crying?”“Elaine is a soft boy so he cries easily. It's okay to hug me too. I don't need to be his mom to hold him. Don't you hug Luna Emily too?”“Yes, but she does so to all the kids. You don't” She was such a

It took a little over three hours to get today's training out of the way and my muscles burned like a bitch. Isaac had been reluctant to let me go, claiming I still needed a lot of work. I had begged him and was able to convince him that I wouldn't be able to get better in just one day if I was on the brink of death.I know I was getting a little better and soon, I'll be ploughing Isaac into the ground, I just need maybe a year to do that. When Isaac finally decided to let me go, I dragged myself achingly to the room hoping to sleep the pain off after a long shower but the day wasn't going the way I wanted at all.I found Lily and Emily waiting in front of my door. They claimed we haven't hung out together in a while and now they were both free, I couldn't escape it.Thankfully, they let me take a shower before dragging me off to Lily’s room. As soon as we entered their apartment, I snatched the blanket hanging from a chair and tucked myself in the coach and thankfully, they let me b

I stopped knocking on Zion’s door a long time ago and today was no different, not with something I had been itching to get my hands on behind these doors. I push the door open and my eyes immediately start to scan the room for the familiar yet foreign face of the young girl but she wasn't present. Instead, Zion, Jamie and Isaac were all staring at me with cautious gazes, not to mention the visible chip on their shoulders, something was wrong. “Where is she? Didn't you say you found her already?” My eyes were on Zion as I approached him. He was seated behind that annoying desk of his that made him look impenetrable which was what he was. “We did but you won't like what we found” I glance towards Jamie and Isaac but they avoided my eyes so I focused on Zion instead.“Go ahead and tell me. What did you find? Wasn't it the girl? Did you lie to me?” I asked all at once but it wasn't my fault. “We did find her but she isn't alive. Someone got to her before we did” Zion explained and my

I barely see Zion these days since the dungeon. He was avoiding me and it's not like I could blame him. I turned the other way the moment I see him and he had gotten the message except now I was the one slowly going crazy. I needed him and now I felt like a crack addict which was why I am on my way to his office right now. Some people tried to say hi to me but I paid them no attention. I had one goal in mind and that was my only focus. My heart was beating faster as Zion’s office came into focus. I was a little disoriented and the mate bond was choking me up. I knew it would probably be worse for Zion but he won't try to make me uncomfortable so he'll try to bear it alone.I push the door open, almost ripping it from its hinges. Zion was alone and he sat up with my entrance, a hitched brow and a ghost smirk on that annoying handsome face.He pushed his chair back and watched me approach him with fury in my eyes.I straddle his lap and his hands went around my waist instinctively. My

I wake up to the sound of knocking on my door. My eyes fly to the other end of the bed to find it empty. Zion had carried me back to my room and we had sex again, maybe multiple times before we fell asleep together. I looked outside the window to find it a little dark and checked the time to see it was 5 am. The room still reeked of sex so I opened the windows first, even though it would be of little help. My body ached but I guess even a werewolf had body aches after a night of rough sex from an Alpha.The knocks came again, startling me a little this time because I managed to forget why I was up in the first place. I walk to the door and pull it open, surprised to see Elaine's little frame blocking the entrance. His nose wrinkled and he looked past me into my room before looking up at me.“What's that smell Genva?” My cheeks flame up in embarrassment at his question. Of course, he could smell the sex even though he was too little to understand what it was.“Some bad food. I forgot

My heart was thumping in my chest while I waited for Zion in front of the pack house. It was time for him to leave on his one day trip.While I was eager for him to go so I could go back to that forest and check it out, I also started missing him badly. He was in his office going over some last minute plans with Jamie and Isaac. We argued earlier for him to take more men than the two he was travelling with but he was so persistent on being stubborn. He claimed he was strong enough to protect himself and was only taking the two guards because Jamie and Isaac had insisted which I was also grateful for. “I told you not to wait outside” I turn to see Zion walking towards me with Jamie, Isaac and two other warriors. The ones who would be joining him on the trip.“Are you ready to leave now?” My voice came out shaky, the opposite of what I wanted. He looked towards the guys with him and gave a silent command to them. They gave me a curt nod before leaving the lounge so it was just me and

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
