The Alpha Games Chapter 141 - Confronting the truth
Connor POV - For the second time, Connor didn’t stop to knock as he reached Inga’s door and walked straight inside. However, unlike the night before, she wasn’t sitting in the kitchen dressing a wound. The Beta, or maybe she wasn’t the Beta anymore, was pacing in the front room, chewing her thumb nail to a nub. She didn’t look up when he entered, nor did she stop moving. He hadn’t seen her like that before. He could almost feel her agitation bothering the air around them, scratching at his skin, urging him to soothe her. Connor denied the instinct. Not only was he not trying to get himself killed by touching her, but he also wanted her to face this. She had kept their connection from him. He had flared his pheromones in her presence before, so she knew they were true mates, but she hadn’t told him. Connor felt that like a blow to the gut. After the night Inga had told them all about the revolution and her lies to get them to Grey Stone, he had hoped they’d be honest moving forwa
The Alpha Games Chapter 142 - Promises
Connor POV - Words didn’t come to him straight away. No, Connor didn’t know about Alpha Jonathan’s past with the current Red Dawn Luna, but it was a puzzle piece that connected others and began to answer the original question of ‘why’. Just hearing that new part of the origins of their war cast his thoughts into a spiderweb of ideas and plans and conclusions he immediately wanted to air or take to his brother. In battle, all information would add to one’s power and he could see how the small nugget of truth could be of use. However, Connor stopped his swirling mind as abruptly as her words had kicked it off. It was more information Inga had kept from him, but he wasn’t bothered about that. He was bothered by why she was telling him now. “No.” He huffed. “Are you calling me a liar?” She growled. Her arm still stretched between them, her fingers splayed over his chest, curling to dig into his skin at the accusation. “Not at all. I believe you, but I don’t care. The war, our pac
The Alpha Games Chapter 143 - Preparation
Connor POV - Connor knew it was probably bad form to be standing in a battle strategy meeting with a stupid ass grin on his face, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't compose himself. Everyone had noticed and, by the way Inga blushed every time she looked at him, it was no secret why he was smiling so much. However, at least she managed to stay focused. He couldn’t even attempt to be serious when his mind kept wandering to their evening together. There hadn’t been much to it. They shared a drink, they talked, they went to sleep, but, somehow, it was simply perfect. Lying at her side, listening to her soft breaths, feeling them play across his chest as he held her. He could’ve stayed there forever. If it wasn’t for his brother’s nagging mindlink that morning he would’ve. Though Connor wasn’t adding anything of use to the meeting, Inga was. Among the Alphas, Betas and warriors in the office, she had wrestled her way to the front, determined to have her say. With Autumn new t
The Alpha Games Chapter 144 - Not alone
Maddie POV - The carpet beneath her feet was worn from how much Maddie had been pacing for the past day. She had kept herself busy when Michael had first left for Grey Stone, but now she couldn’t fight the rising anxiety bubbling within her. The only thing that seemed to calm it was pacing the length of her room, over and over. It was the place his scent was the strongest on the entire territory, but even that was beginning to fade. If she stopped for even a moment, her thoughts began to twist, tormenting her with questions of the unknown and planting false answers in her mind. In the week since her Luna ceremony, Michael had been at her side constantly. They had so much to deal with as soon as they took over leadership of Silver Night, but they had done it together. In Michael’s battle strategy meetings, she was there sharing her thoughts. In Maddie’s pack expansion meeting, he was there providing the knowledge on the Dark Night wolves so they could construct them homes they’d
The Alpha Games Chapter 145 - Last stop before war
Inga POV - “That’s good, Jamie. Really good.” Connor praised; his smile far too bright for Inga’s liking. She scowled at him through the rear-view mirror, but his attention was fully on the rogue. He must’ve felt her glare, she was sure of it, but he didn’t so much as blink or glance in her direction. Inga’s grip on the steering wheel tightened, her knuckles white, her foot pressing down on the accelerator. However, neither of which cooled her souring mood. It was bad enough knowing the four of them were headed into enemy territory to start a war, and they’d be one slip up away from imprisonment, or worse, but to spend their last moments together sitting beside other wolves sucked. However, with Connor coaching the rogue on how to keep her expression neutral and intentions hidden, Inga was close to bailing on the mission all together. If the lives of so many wolves weren’t at stake, she might’ve done, just to see his face. “Erm, guys, perhaps this is a good place to stop.”
The Alpha Games Chapter 146 - Infiltrating the enemy
Inga POV - Goddess, she wished Connor was in the front of the car with her, but Inga knew that would be foolish. How could she drive onto Red Dawn’s territory claiming to be their ally if she was reaching for him for support. It was his own stupid fault. She had been fine only needing herself to get through the shitty situations life threw at her, but he had to come along and be sweet and kind and funny and strong and so fucking gorgeous. The same cocky grin that made her melt, could also become a simple smile that offered her nothing but understanding. He had promised her everything whereas she had barely managed to promise to try, yet he was happy with that. How could the same man who teased and flirted with her, been okay to just hold her all night. Connor had been right, that night on the couch had been the best sleep of her life. Well, until last night. She had never used someone’s chest as a pillow before and now she didn’t think she’d ever be able to sleep with anything
The Alpha Games Chapter 147 - Maintaining the act
Inga POV - It had been hours since she had seen Connor. Hours since they had arrived at Red Dawn and he had been taken to his cell. Apart from Jamie returning to her side and confirming him and Lewis were locked up, she hadn’t heard anything about him since. The not knowing itched at her, stealing her attention, nagging at her thoughts when she needed to be focused. Despite being bound with silver, Inga’s role was far more dangerous than his. Where he was locked away waiting for his role to come, Inga had to keep her cover, plant false information and play to Red Dawn’s tune without raising suspicions. Unfortunately, that included joining Luna Eleanor, Daniel and the Alpha for dinner. Inga hadn’t packed for such an event, but Eleanor graciously offered her a dress to wear. The fabric was binding, black and stark against her skin, wrapping her from her neck to her knees. She felt like she was being squeezed from every angle. Not only was it a horrible dress, but it restricted her m
The Alpha Games Chapter 148 - Not the plan
Connor POV - Despite their success in planting the false information to fool Luna Eleanor, Connor couldn’t help but grumble in his cell. It wasn’t the tender wounds still healing over his body, after Jacobs beat the crap out of him, or the burning silver in his system, that made his veins feel like lava. No, it was Daniel. The bastard had touched Inga. There was no way the touch was invited or wanted, and yet he had his hand on her throat, caressing below her lip. The cell had seemed small and uncomfortable before, but now it felt like a true prison. She was out there, somewhere in the packhouse, with that creep roaming around. Connor hated not knowing if his mate was safe. Maybe his focus should’ve been on his own survival given he had lost the feeling in his wrists many hours ago and felt like a year of fatigue was weighing him down, but he didn’t care about himself. Not with his mate among the enemy. His back was pressed tight to the cool stone wall. Lewis had told him it w
