All Chapters of The Alpha’s War Prize: Hearts at War (Book 1): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

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 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?”“

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

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

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’
