The Alpha Games Chapter 106 - The next plan
Nala POV - Maddie ran forward, at Michael’s side as soon as he was back on his feet again, while Jess moved to stand by Erik. All eyes were on Nala, wary and alert, but it was the sheen of pity in them that pissed her off. Her fists clenched tight at her side, one aching, the other jealous and itching for its own time to shine. No one spoke a word, the silence thick in the air as if a mountain fog had descended and swept them up in its blanket. Then, Connor entered the office with an ice pack in hand, clearing the tension with the click of the door. The Dark Night Beta looked around the room, his attention lingering on Erik, then his brother, then, finally, settling on Nala. Just like his brother, he immediately strode toward her, except he made it to her side without feeling the force of her fury. “I saw your face downstairs, figured this might help.” He handed her the ice pack and made her smile for the first time in at least a week. “Why doesn’t he get punched too?” Micha
The Alpha Games Chapter 107 - Arriving at Grey Stone
Connor POV - Even leaving Silver Night at first light, it took Connor and Nala all day to get to the Grey Stone pack. Neither of them had been there before, but both had been to Red Dawn. As Inga had told them during their negotiations, their territories were close, less than a twenty-minute drive between them. It was odd for packs to be that close, and it made sense for them to be allies; both could come to the other’s aid in a heartbeat. However, it would also be a good base to launch an attack on Red Dawn if the alliance between Silver Night and Grey Stone could be secured. Nala sat very still in the passenger seat. At first glance, there wasn't a single trace of nerves around her, but Connor could see the whitening grip of her knuckle as her hands clenched together in her lap. Her gaze was fixed out of the window, but her stare was far from vacant. It was critical, searching, gathering information. They were the eyes of a warrior headed into enemy territory and that’s exactl
The Alpha Games Chapter 108 - Compatibility
Nala POV - “Just go in there and wait until someone comes.” Inga pointed at the navy rusty door embedded into the side of the packhouse wall. Nala had to wonder if the Beta knew what she was pointing at, considering her attention was fixed to the path they had just tottered down to reach this entrance. Frustration lined the woman's brow, getting more impatient with each second Nala hesitated to follow the order, like she had somewhere better to be. The Mountain Forest wolf eyed the door. It was hardly the grand entrance she expected to meet the heir. In fact, it looked more like the entrance to the basement or a dungeon. With the Beta’s uninterested pushing to get her through the door, her intentions felt far from threatening, so Nala shrugged and tottered the last steps to the door. Even with the daggers being taken, she was a formidable fighter without them and would be a challenge to any wolf that attempted to hurt her. Semi-abusive training and years of war would do that to a
The Alpha Games Chapter 109 - The first presentation
Nala POV - What the fuck. Nala paced the small room. Back and forth, like each step would subdue a piece of her frustration. What she wanted to do was charge out of the room and demand answers. She wanted to grab the heir and show him just how strong she was and how fit she was to be in any position of leadership. Not only was the act itself not Luna-like, but it would make her situation even rockier. With her need to form the alliance much more desperate than Grey Stone’s, she had to be careful. She couldn’t jeopardise her position. Without knowing the full situation, storming from the room would be a one-way ticket to being kicked off the territory and thrust into war. It was possible that it was a performance, a way to test her. She was a stranger in their pack, someone chosen by the enemy to bridge the gap between their packs and form their alliance. However, even with Maddie’s tips, it was clear Nala wasn’t a natural Luna. She was a warrior through and through. Could that
The Alpha Games Chapter 110 - Close watch
Connor POV-“Shit.” Connor hissed, as Alpha Phelan announced the start of the Luna Games.His unease had grown with every woman paraded in front of the pack announcing themselves to the Grey Stone upper ranks but now he knew they were well and truly fucked. He followed Nala across the room with his eyes, a part of him relieved just to see she was okay and had kept to the plan despite the sudden blow. He didn’t know what he would’ve done if she hadn’t. Chased her down? Forced her to continue? No. There’s no way he would’ve done that. Not a single part of him could’ve.He should’ve known something was going on, that they were being set up. He had found it odd exploring the small pack and finding it busier than Silver Night on a regular day. It had given him a great cover to be able to gather information on the general layout of the pack without drawing suspicion, but he had passed by many wolves who were looking around as if they were in unfamiliar territory too. He had considered Grey
The Alpha Games Chapter 111 - Helpful escort
Connor POV - “You do know that I’ve already been to our rooms, right? I can show Nala the way.” When Nala clocked the Beta on his arm, he had given her a quick shake of his head, warding off any comments, but the longer Inga stayed latched to him, the stranger it felt. The only benefit was the way the lingering Grey Stone wolves parted for them. Connor thought it was to steer clear of him and Nala, but he noticed their attention was on Inga. No one even bothered more than a glance toward him. It was like she shielded them from the scrutiny he had been expecting. However, once they were out of the crowds and headed up to their rooms, he no longer saw a need to be locked together. “I don’t know.” She toyed the words on her tongue. “You seemed rather lost earlier when you wandered the pack. You must’ve gone down every single side street. Twice.” She peered up at him, her false innocence not as charming as she seemed to think. He’d much prefer for her to speak straight to him and
The Alpha Games Chapter 112 - The distraction trial
Nala POV - Nala couldn’t help but half-ass the usual warm up routine she did before any bout of training. It would usually take a good thirty minutes of stretching and light cardio to loosen her muscles and get her blood pumping enough to be ready to take on the strenuous exercise that followed. However, she was the only one doing anything. All the other Luna Candidates stood on the training field, clumped together, all dressed in brightly coloured sweat suits and twirling a water bottle on their fingers. It took Nala a lot of effort not to scoff when she first saw them. Never before had she seen such naivety in a group of wolves about to spar. Not even new warriors were that wet behind the ears. Lots of looks were thrown her way as she arrived in some baggy grey shorts and a dark t-shirt. The chill of the afternoon air brushed her skin, but she knew she’d warm up soon. She also knew the other Luna candidates would be burning their asses off as soon as the sparring began. Nala s
The Alpha Games Chapter 113 - True intentions
Connor POV - Sneaking away from the crowd of Grey Stone wolves was easier than he expected. At every turn he waited for a warrior to spot him, but he seamlessly slipped away from the strength trial without so much as an eye batted in his direction. He had arrived with Nala, but only watched her join the other Luna candidates before leaving. She looked sorely out of place and pissed off to be fighting the other women, but the sight got him moving. He was reminded his priority was to get the three of them out of the territory safely and get them back home. He had to find Lewis to make that happen, however he was also looking for ways to take down the pack. A break in their defences, a way to cause friction between them and Red Dawn, anything to act in their favour when it came to war. Connor moved against the flow of wolves, heading back to the centre of the pack. Though he remained alert of every glance thrown his way or any footstep shadowing his, he was left alone. The freedom was
