All Chapters of The Alphas Prize: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

#Chapter61Adela pursed her lips and appeared to be considering my offer, but then she started to roar out with laughter. “Not going to happen, but nice try. I will not walk away from the opportunity to watch your blood spill all over this forest floor.” She growled. Thunder was now starting to boom around us, and lightning lit up the night sky, signs of an impending storm. Just like the one that we now faced, a storm between siblings. She smiled broadly. “Goodbye Freja, I won’t miss you.” I closed my eyes, readying myself for the plunge of the blade, but it never came, and suddenly, I was released, collapsing onto the ground. My eyes shot open, and I looked around me, wondering what was going on. Adela lay on the ground, her hand to her head and all three of the vampires were battling it out with none other than my dear brother, Gunnar. I was surprised by his arrival and curious as to how he knew that I needed him but relieved that he was here, here to save my ass. Gu

#Chapter63I stood there, hovering over Adela’s lifeless body and gazed into her soulless eyes, wishing I could have done more to save her from the pain she felt. I crouched down beside her body and closed her eyes shut before kissing her cheek, then I whispered. “I will always love you, Adela, and I forgive you.” I wiped away the wayward tear that streamed down my face and stood back up. Glancing around at my surroundings, I could no longer see Gunnar or Cain or anyone else for that matter. I started to walk North, hoping I would find someone, and I did, but it was the last person I expected to see here. I came to a dead stop, blinking rapidly and thinking that I was imagining things as I stared into those familiar eyes. “Erik?” I said aloud. He rushed over to me and engulfed me in a longing hug. “I have missed you so much, Freja,” Erik whispered sweetly, and I had missed him too. I reared back, “What are you doing here?” I asked him, baffled by his presence. Erik released me but

#Chapter65Fear and panic began to rise within me as I stared down at the knife that had struck Cain in the back, just below his shoulder. The blade didn’t appear to be embedded too deep, but blood was now pooling around the wound. I didn’t know what to do, and my frazzled nerves were getting the better of me as my wolf howled with sorrow at the sight of our fallen mate. I leaned down and placed my ear to his back, listening for a heartbeat, and I almost cried at the relief I felt when I heard the faint sound of a beating heart. Reeling back, I did the only thing I could think of and pulled the knife from his back, then tore pieces of my shirt off and tried my best to wrap his wound, hoping to stop the bleeding or at least slow it down enough to get him home. After I had horribly wrapped him up, I stood to my feet and realized that Erik was still here. He was just standing there, appearing to be half dazed, but he also had a look of satisfaction in his eyes. My upper lip twitched, a

#Chapter67My eyes fluttered open, but I couldn’t see anything. I was surrounded by darkness and deafening silence as a foul smell invaded my nostrils. My head was pounding, and my body ached like I was tossed around for hours. I slowly sat up, rubbing my forehead and glanced around me, but there was nothing except darkness. I didn’t know where I was, and dread began to rise within me at the possible threats that could be closing in on me. I tried to channel my wolf, hoping to see things through her eyes. However, something seemed off; it was as if she was being suppressed. I could feel her, but not like usual, and it felt like she was fighting to stay with me; this sparked even more apprehension. I closed my eyes, trying to reel her back in, but the more I tried, the deeper she went inside my head and further away from me. Finally, I stopped, afraid that if I continued to reach out for her, I would push her to the point of no return. I inhaled and exhaled heavily, and when I opened

#Chapter69Her honesty hit me like a train, right in the chest. I felt like I couldn’t breathe, like a piece of me had been shattered. But, I wasn’t ready to lose Cain, to lose the man I was just starting to truly, get to know. The man that had stolen a piece of my soul and my heart. I looked up at her. “Is he suffering? Is there a way to save him?” I asked her, desperation in my tone. Rose looked away from me. “I can’t give you an answer as to whether or not if the Alpha is suffering, as we don’t know.” She met my gaze and inhaled deeply before continuing. “There are tales of a cure, but there is no actual proof that it really exists or if it would even work.” She said wistfully. I stood to my feet and faced her. “What cure? Rose, if there is a chance, even the slightest possibility, I am taking it. I will do whatever it takes to try and save his life.” I told her, meaning every single word. She took a step back and pinched the bridge of her nose, reluctance etching her featu
