Chapter 10 Sam’s POV “I’m sorry, Jake, I am.” Jake exhales the breath he’s been holding and sighs. He glances me over, looking for any wounds that need to be taken care of, and leans closer to me. He removes some hair stuck to my face due to my recent shower and smiles sadly. His eyes are penetrating my soul, my soul that has become dark and hollow. “You did well, but I need you to behave. We are here to win the evening games, not challenge the Alpha.” “I know. I’m sorry. Okay. Please forgive me”. Yeah, this didn’t go as planned. And what the hell was I doing with the Alpha. Letting him touch me in that way was never a part of the plan. I curse, and I can feel Lily and Lucy rolling their eyes. “It’s called the mate-bond, Lucy says. It’s hard to resist. Please don’t blame yourself, and come on; it felt amazing.” I’m just glad that no one saw us. I chuckle. Jake looks at me weirdly, and I stop. My cheeks are blushing. Shit, I need to contro
Chapter 11 Sam’s POV Day two of the evening games is finally over. That means no more training and no more meeting Mr. Alpha Blair. Bastard. Now I only need to keep a low profile and focus on my main task. Kill the Alphas father and then go rogue. Due to the stop of exercise and the beginning of the games, there will be a bonfire close to the only pub in this area. It will be an excellent way to get to know other warriors and perhaps have a good time. God, I need it. I feel bad for disappointing my brother repeatedly and becoming more distant toward him. But I believe that will make it easier for me to leave him behind. I have just come back to our room, and as soon as I open the door, I can smell the booze. “Drinking already, Brandon?” I wink at him. He gives me one of his beaming smiles and says: “Sure am, babe. Let’s get hammered!” “Then we will need more than just one of those bottles! “ Oh, I have plenty,” he grinned. Thre
Chapter 12Blair’s POVI never expected that I would find my mate like this or that she would try to resist me. It made more sense now why she run away that night two years ago when we first met. She must have known that I was her mate, even though she was young. I never expected to be so fucking broken from my loss. The last two years have been painful, heartbreaking, and uncertain. But now she is finally here in my room, sleeping in my bed, wearing my t-shirt.I can help myself from touching her legs, letting my eyes roam her perfect body. I can’t get enough of her. She is such a feisty, challenging, and nerve-racking she-wolf. After tasting her the other day, there was no going back.She’s mine. Only mine.When I saw her at the pub, she looked breathtakingly sexy. Black was pacing in my head, trying to convince me to take her with us, but I could tell by her mischievous look that she wouldn&rsq
Chapter 13 Blake’s POV Last night was a nightmare. I had decided that I would try to give Sam some time and make her realize that I was still here for her. I needed her as much as she needed me. It was evident that she had been in deep pain since I left, and I knew I was to blame. I did choose the easiest way out. By leaving my former pack, when I found my mate, I thought that it would be easier for both of us if we didn’t have to run into one another all the time. I always planned to go back to my original pack, and Jake knew that. Caroline was on board too. She said she would follow me anywhere, and I was grateful that she was my mate, sweet, caring Caroline, my true mate. I knew that Caroline had figured some things out on her own, so I decided to come clean with her. She was my mate, and I did love her. Caroline was not Sam, but she was a wonderful person, and I was glad to be paired with her. Sometimes the most powerful love isn’t the right one, she told me.
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
