The Alpha’s War Prize: Hearts at War (Book 1) 9. Mate?!
My eyes fluttered open against my will so I glared at the annoying sunlight streaming inside the room from the opened windows, uninvited. I felt better than I did in days and I knew it was because I finally ate and slept on a good bed for once. I wanted to be grateful that I felt better but the guilt that I was so comfortable with kept lingering in my mind and I didn’t know how to move on from the death of the people I had known my whole life. I kept telling myself that I am doing all these to be strong enough to take my revenge but I don’t know if I even believe myself anymore. I had run out of tears and words to scream so I just sat on the bed staring outside, my glare softening as my mind travelled in thoughts. My nose picked up the smell from my pits and my nose scrunched up in disgust at the terrible smell. I had not taken a bath in two days. I reluctantly dragged myself from the bed to the bathroom. I had washed the clothes I was wearing when I came here and it was hanging

My hatred for the man could not overpower the bond that we shared. I figured it was because I was in so much pain, anger and hunger that I had not recognized him as my mate and only did when my head was in the right place Ever since he left the room, I can’t get him out of my head. There was a contrast in emotion between my head and my heart. My head couldn’t and didn’t want to accept the fact that Zion was our mate but my heart was fighting us on it. It had accepted that he was our mate and because of that, my thoughts always trailed back to how amazing he smelled and how good he looked. It was dangerous to me, these unwanted feelings I kept having. I despised that I was starting to desire such a man against my will. I was scared and worried out of my mind. I couldn’t risk rejecting him and dying because I was so stubborn. I would not be able to get my revenge but the main question that kept lingering at the back of my head was if I would be able to kill this man that was now bou

I didn’t know there was a window pane that had a comfortable cushion on it till last night. I felt dead and I am sure I looked the same way I felt. I couldn’t bring myself to sleep a wink last night. My head was busy and my thoughts were so loud, I couldn’t find a single peace or quiet that would have allowed me to sleep. I thought hard and long but as usual I ended up with nothing and just more rage in my system than the previous day. I wanted to give myself a little bit of hope and say that I could break the bond but deep down I knew it was just a wish upon a star. “Are you still mad at me?” Violet whispered timidly and it made me feel bad. “I could never stay mad at you and you know that. We are one and right now, we only have each other so how could I possibly be mad at you?” I sighed “What are we going to do now? What’s the plan?” I would be lying if I said I knew, Yesterday’s event had complicated everything “I don’t know Val. I am so confused and I feel so pathetic that I

I was once again in my starving phase and it was not on purpose. I was so angry, I couldn’t find it in myself to eat. It was two days ago that those two decided to come and spoil my mood and I’ve not been able to eat. I swallowed the lump in my throat and curled more into myself. I could not even sleep a wink. Everytime, I closed my eyes, I could see the life I had lost and it was a scary feeling knowing I would never get it back. The day was crawling and the time was so slow. I didn’t know what to do and I was tired of just sitting all day waiting for whatever horrible fate awaits me. I knew but I didn’t want to admit it. I would just keep my eyes closed and remained ignorant to the harsh reality that was knocking at my door incessantly. In the last two days, I had cleaned with a cloth I found, arranged the already organised room and even jumped around so that I wouldn’t lose my mind. “I’m tired of staying indoors Genny, how long are we going to be kept here?” Violet whined an
Last Updated : 2023-04-27The Alpha’s War Prize: Hearts at War (Book 1) 13. Make it Work
ZION’S POV I was being punished for every evil deed I had committed to get my revenge. I stood by my window that overlooked the large field in front of the pack house and watched my pack members go about their daily activities. They finally looked so relaxed now that we had gotten the revenge we deserved for the cruelty that was done to us. If only I could be as happy as they were but I had to pay the price for the actions we had to take to get to where we were. We didn’t become one of the most powerful packs by playing nice. Power never comes easy but if I was given the choice, I would do it all over again if it meant I could kill those bastards. Those bastards that housed the very core of my life, my mate. I never imagined that I would find her there. We are already doomed before we could start. I can never forget the hatred in her eyes as she spat on my feet. My groin hardened as I thought about the fire in her hazel eyes. My girl was a force to be reckoned with and it made m

“It’s all over Violet. We are stuck here and we are never getting out, are we? I can’t believe my life is about to be ruined like this. I must have done a lot of terrible things in my previous life. Maybe I was a rogue who killed lots of innocent people or an Alpha who was a tyrant” I mutter with my millionth sight since I woke up My anger had now become dormant, only boiling beneath the surface. I could not even get angry anymore and now I was just numb and tired, struggling to mentally accept that my fate had been sealed and the moon goddess wasn’t making any changes “You are going to get mad but I’ll say it anyway. This could be the plan the moon goddess has for us. We may be happy here. We just need to find out the real truth because I don’t believe that someone would kill an entire pack for no reason at all. You heard the Luna that night, your father did something really bad and you can’t continue to deny it and push it behind you because you are unwilling to accept that fact” S

With a prompt from Violet, I decided to freshen up before Lily arrived. For some reason unknown to me , I didn’t want to look so lesser than the beauty that was coming on my request. As if on cue, there was a knock on the door the moment I dropped my towel on the chair beside the bathroom door. I took a look at myself in the baggy pants and oversized t-shirt that still had the distinguished smell of Zion even though obvious effort was put into getting rid of it. He didn’t want me to know that the clothes were his, maybe because he thought I wouldn’t wear them and he would have been right if I had other options. I felt more at ease wearing his clothes but I didn’t dwell on it because I knew it was just the mate bond acting up. “Come In” I called out when I realised that I had yet to answer “It’s not like I can open the door from inside” I muttered sarcastically “We know you can’t open the door but we had to knock for respect. You are our Luna after all” Lily remarked as she st

I let out an exhausted breath but made no move to remove myself from Elena’s arms as we sat on the floor beside the bed. I was tired and I doubt I could stand on my feet if I tried. It was as if I unravelled everything and now there was nothing holding me together. “How do you feel now?” Lily asked after a long time, breaking me out from the trance I found myself stuck in. “I think I am” I felt so relieved after so long and it was all thanks to these two ladies who I don’t even know. I cleaned the invisible tear under my eyes and felt the bags that were there. They had grown bigger with my breakdown but I felt better and that topped everything now “I’m sorry about what happened earlier. I didn’t even realise that you had so much bottled up” Elena apologised from behind me but I shook my head in protest “Don’t. I can’t believe I am about to say this but none of it is your fault so I shouldn’t have taken it out on you” I told her “No, don’t try to do that. We were wrong. We

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
