Chapter 7 Jake’s POV My sister, whom I loved more than anything in life, was about to be attacked by two of the best warriors of the Black wolf pack. She could never keep her damn mouth shut. I was furious with her. I kept looking towards Alpha Blair, and I swear I could see a slight smug on his face. Was he enjoying this? The Alpha kept pacing back and forth on the ground and kept staring towards the direction of Sam and the warriors. I could only hope that I had trained her enough to don’t let anger take control of her. I don’t think anyone with our heritage could understand the difficulty of having two wolves that are both demanding and with their own will. Sam was strong, but she was also so broken, and for some reason, it got worse two years ago. The same year we won the evening games for the first time. After the finals, she got intoxicated and ran away. I don’t know what happened that night, but she was never the same after that. She hardly spoke to me. We used to be so clo
Sam’s POV The fight I guess losing someone does make you stronger. Ever since Blake left me, I didn’t fear pain. Instead, it became my drug, my only source that could remove the numbness I felt inside me. Sam didn’t exist anymore. She was long gone, and the only thing that still reminded me of who I used to be was my brother. A week after the last evening games I attended, I started my new job at one of the local clubs. I buried my old self, and since that day, I never existed anymore. Besides cunning people, for money, I started cage fighting, and I never lost one fight. I guess if you lose your will to live, you fight differently. I became known as the most reckless fighter in the city. Never afraid to take on a new opponent. I fought carelessly, didn’t care if I got beaten up badly, and all previous fighting techniques were gone. I enjoyed the pain. I always liked a good beating before I attacked the opponent. I allowed them to believe they had the up
Chapter 9 Blair’s POV That she-wolf is driving me crazy. I keep staring at her, entirely captivated by her, but something about her is off. The scent of her, for one, is slightly familiar but also mixed with several other males. Perhaps not yet fully mated? And the way she glares at me drives me insane. She is aggressive and somewhat reckless. A spoiled girl, perhaps. She takes what she wants and doesn’t give a fuck about anyone else. Well, I will show her. She is about to fight the twins of my pack, The black wolves pack, and she seems intrigued and somewhat uninterested. I had to stop her from taking off her fucking clothes, and I had never felt that form of jealousy before. It’s almost like that body of hers is only made for me. But it can’t be? She’s not my mate. I nearly lost it when she didn’t defend herself from the twin warriors. It was almost like she didn’t care about the beating. It was almost like she enjoyed it. I kept my fists closed, re
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
