What do you think about the story so far? 😉
Chapter 14 Sam’s POV The walk back to the bunkers was quiet. Jake had his arm around my shoulders, and I could tell how nervous he was. The big mansions that served as accommodation for the alphas and betas began to disappear from our view as we came closer to the old, dark forest. The place deceives you; Almost no sun could shine through the thick woodland. It was late morning, but everything around us felt dark as night. Perhaps it was also my terrible hangover that kept my head spinning; maybe it was dread knowing that I needed to return to the packhouse later. “I’m okay, Jake. I can get out of this. Don’t worry.” “No, Sam, it’s not okay. This was not supposed to happen. I won’t let you go back to him; I rather have us discharged from the games.” “No, Jake, I can’t deal with the resentment from my fellow pack members if I cause us to be expelled again. Please hear me out, okay?” Blake had remained quiet throughout the walk before he suddenly stoppe
Chapter 15 Blair’s POV After Sam left, my father mind linked me to meet him in his room. I wanted to share my good news with him and was eager to tell him that I had finally found my Luna. I enter his bedroom and find him sitting at the big oak desk that is situated right in front of the window “Yes, son, you have some news for me,” he asks and turns his chair to face me. “That is correct, father. I wanted to tell you that I have finally found my Luna!” He looks surprised before he answers: “So you have finally found the girl that has been avoiding you for the last two years,” he says with a mocking voice. “And how does she feel about you, son? Is she willing to share your life, duties, and responsibilities with our pack?” “She is my Luna; she will learn,” I tell him with a blank face. “I see, and when will I meet her?” “You will meet her tonight, father, after the tournament.” “Fine. I hope that she will be worthy of running this pack
Chapter 16 Sam’s POV I want to hate Blake, but I can’t do that. The way he was looking at me when he made his proposal was heartbreaking. It was sincere and just fucking annoying. Could I consider that to be a genuine proposal? I’m not sure about Caroline; what sort of person would want to share their mate? It doesn’t make sense. After talking to Brandon, I decide to mind link Jake, but I can’t seem to get through. He never blocks me out, unless… he has found his mate?! Can that be true? I need to know, and I am slightly worried about why he doesn’t answer. I run out of my room, leaving Brandon troubled again, and rush to the bunkers where I know Jake is staying. In the big bunker, all the pack warriors are there except Jake. “Hey, guys! Do you know where Jake is?” I ask them, slightly anxious. No one seems to know. And that makes me concerned. Jake never leaves without informing where he is going. What the hell? Okay, I try to reassure myself; ma
Chapter 17 Alpha Blair’s POV I was living through a nightmare. After finally finding my mate after so long, she was not only resisting me; she was sleeping with other people. The fucking sex-good only belongs to me. Mine. The possessiveness I felt around her was slowly eating me alive. She was mine. Only mine, but she made it impossible for me to have her. After she left, I snuck into Natasha’s room and fucked her. It wasn’t anything special, but I needed release. After I left Natasha’s room, I felt the urge to find Sam, but she wasn’t in her room in the bunkers. Instead, I found her in a steamy meeting with that fucking Beta and his mate. What the hell was wrong with this woman? She could be with me, but why she had to make it so god damn tricky, I can't understand. It was apparent that she had some relationship with the Beta, and I needed him out of my way. I needed her brother out of my way too. If I would take her home with me to my pack, I needed to
Chapter 18 Sam’s POV I shouldn’t be surprised that things are not going the way I planned. Trouble follows me wherever I go. I seem to be attracted to danger. I have tried so many times to change, to blend in, but I can’t seem to be able to manage that. When Blake was still in my life, he was my anchor that helped me tame Lily, but he didn’t either know the whole story. Only Jake does. And we promised each other for our safety that we should keep it that way. As descendants of the Desert Forest pack, we’re an easy target if anyone finds out about us. So Blake only knew I had two wolves, and that was it. He knew nothing more. Lily loved Blake and his wolf Austin, and the feeling was mutual; I knew that, but when he met his true mate, he made a choice. I felt betrayed, knowing that he could be my mate if Lily chose him to be mine, and Lucy didn’t seem to mind about Blake, thinking he was probably the second-best choice if she couldn’t meet her true mate. After
Chapter 19 Sam’s POV I thought the tournaments would be held at the same spot as the training grounds, but boy was I wrong. I get it now; why they choose this location it’s obvious. I’m standing in front of a massive arena; it could easily be said to be a gladiator arena from the Roman empire, except for the fact that this is not old at all; it’s a modern construction. The building is enormous. It could easily contain 10 000 people, and as we ascend the stairs, I can tell by the view that the structure is not round around a green area; instead, it’s lines of constructions facing each other with open access to both east and west. “Amazing, huh?” Blair whispers in my ear. The sudden closeness makes me shiver, and I can only nod as a reply. “It was specially built for the 100th evening games, they tell me,” he says and sighs loudly. “Now that I found you, I don’t care about this nonsense anymore, but I still need to do my part.” I look at the surroundings, a
Chapter 20 Alpha Blair’s POV I knew something was off about Sam. She was no ordinary she-wolf. First of all, she was trying to resist me, which made no sense since many she-wolves found me attractive, and I was an Alpha, meaning I had power. But she was immune to my charm and seemed to be involved with other people, so I had to remove the competition. I had agreed with my Beta Drake that he would make sure to challenge that Beta of hers to a fight to the death. I didn’t intend to kill him, it may sound a bit drastic, but I wanted to see with my own eyes if she did love him or not. Brandon, her roommate, was gay and was out of the picture, but also her brother was a problem for me. By changing the rules in the tournament, I decided to make the fights more exciting and to make sure that the beta and her brother surrendered, which would make her realize that to spare their lives, she would come to me, and agree to be with me. That was the plan. I could quick
Chapter 21 Sam’s POV Lily was going crazy; she was snapping her fangs and wanted to kill them all. More and more warriors were filling the arena. Lily was panting, shaking with anger, and wanted blood. I knew that Lily adored Austin and Blake, but the thought that Caroline was not Blake’s true mate made me confused. She was still very protective of them both, but I could also feel her sadness for something. Lily was pacing around Blake and Caroline, stopping anyone from coming closer. She lunged at a warrior and took him around the neck, and snapped it just like that. It made me shiver, but I also knew there was no other way to handle this. It was life or death. Many memories came to life about Blake and me. The love that still was present and the hurt also. “Tell me, Lily, why would you say something like Caroline is not his true mate?” “Because it’s the truth. She is not. Blake has chosen her. She is his chosen mate.” “But that doesn’t make any sens
