Stealing Alpha's Heart Chapter 15: Her Past
RYDER'S P.O.V:I sat up on the bed panting, sweat plastering my cotton shirt to my chest. Ruby, beside me, was taking in short gasps of breath, her hands pressed firmly to the sides of her head. Her red hair was matted and tangled around her shoulders. Her chest heaved rapidly, her eyes narrowed as she focused on the end of her bed.Thinking fast, I reached over to her and grabbed her arm, my fingers easily wrapping around her slender wrist. Her shaking stopped almost instantly and she relaxed, taking in a deep, shaky breath."Thanks. I think that was from- from the, uh, dream," her voice was quivering as she looked at me, "What time is it? The dodgeball tournament should start any minute now."Looking over at the clock, it read eight-o-clock. I looked back at Ruby and gave her a reassuring smile and said, "No need to worry. It's only eight. You have four hours to get ready.""Oh, alright," she sank back into the bed, her head lolling on the pillow. Her eyes were half lidded with exha
Stealing Alpha's Heart Chapter 16: Axel
RUBY'S P.O.VIt's been about two hours since Ryder woke me up, one hour since Brandy left, and about twenty minutes since my panic attack ended. It was about time for me to get ready, so I padded over to the bathroom, wincing as my feet touched the cold floor.In the bathroom, I changed into a baggy shirt that was supposed to be for sleeping but I always fell asleep in my clothes, and a pair of elastic shorts that clung to my waist without the drawstring. I put on running shoes, pulled my hair back into a loose ponytail, and picked up the necklace I got from the doctor after Dawn died. It was cool between my fingers, the chain slipping through the gaps between my fingers. Quickly, I clipped it into place and glanced at myself for a moment. I looked tired, but despite my internal feelings, I walked out of the bathroom, grabbing a sweatshirt and my room key on my way out the door.As I walked down the semi-filled hallways, I got looks of all kinds - mostly negative, some sympathetic. I
Stealing Alpha's Heart Chapter 17: Dodgeball
Axel and I chatted for what seemed like hours until he warned me that the games would be starting soon, so we should make our way to the field the game was going to be played on. We cleaned up our trays and made our way down the deserted halls, a few stragglers hurrying toward the lobby. Axel and I hurried down the hallway, giggling at how late we were, ignoring the venomous glares I received from the few remaining people. I knew it'd be fine if I snuck in late, but people would surely notice if one of the Deltas was missing.When the lobby doors opened in front of us, a wave of cool air washed over my heated skin. Axel and I raced across the parking lot to the back of the mansion, the field coming into view, people milling around lazily, waiting for the competition to start. Axel gave me a quick goodbye and raced over to where the other Deltas and Beta Broddi were chatting. I looked back at the ground and began my lonely trek to the field, glares and vicious jeers awaiting me.As I p
Stealing Alpha's Heart Chapter 18: Let The Games Begin
Everyone in the group cheered, even Bryce, as we all exchanged fist bumps and happy jeers of positivity and eagerness. We actually found the name just in time, because as soon as we calmed down, the Luna was back on the stage, instantly silencing everyone in the crowd, all of us slowly falling silent one by one. Finally, after a signature menacing glare, Luna Celestia cleared her throat, and spoke up. "Alright, all teams, go over there," she thrust a finger in the direction of the end of the field where I could see Mrs. Lockstern and the Alpha waiting with clipboards and pens, "and get you and your team members written down, the team name alongside it too."At once, people were thrown into action, skittering around one another to get to the clipboards with their team. We had a smaller group of young wolves to mate this year, one hundred twenty to one hundred thirty, so there'd be twelve or thirteen teams. Around me, our whole team began to run in the direction everyone else was, hopin
Stealing Alpha's Heart Chapter 19: The Moon Goddess
We'd all walked- more like sprinting- to field two and quickly meet Team Three, only saying a quick, 'good luck,' to the other team. Settling into our positions, the throwers on the front line and the dodgers nestled safely in the back ranks, Luna Celestia stomped over after starting the game between Teams One and Two. She raised a stiff hand, almost soldier-like, and brought it down, signaling the beginning of the game.Instantly, the throwers on each team charged to the dividing line where the rubber, red dodge balls lay motionless for the moment. I saw the bulkiest person on the other team, a woman with dark hair that was tied back in braids, grab a ball with absurdly large hands, and chuck it at the first person she saw; Bryce.Bryce dodged it, but only by a slim fraction and snarled at the woman, his lips pulling back to reveal his pointed teeth. He had a ball in his hands, so instead of surrendering and retreating further away from the line where it was safe, he pulled his arm b
Stealing Alpha's Heart Chapter 20: Injured
I awoke with a slight start, pressing the backs of my hands to my eyes. My surroundings felt unfamiliar, and my wolf felt uneasy even though I still knew I was at the pack house. Almost instantly, a pair of warm, slim arms wrapped around my torso, pulling me sideways on the bed I was sitting atop. I looked over and Brandy's head was resting on my shoulder, her hair tickling my nose and causing me to sneeze."We were so worried about you," Brandy giggled, sitting back in the plastic chair that was beside the bed"Who's we?" I asked, putting finger quotations around the word, 'we.'"Ryder and I," Brandy paused for a second, chewing on her lip as if she was debating telling me something. Finally she spoke again, "And Raven and Grey.""Is that it," I rolled my eyes, though internally, my heart beat quicker at the thought of Raven or Grey being anywhere near me when I was unconscious."I know you think people don't like you, but-,""Don't like me? People hate me! They pelted me with dodgeb
Stealing Alpha's Heart Chapter 21: Deep Conversations
Doctor Moore fitted me with a cast, not bothering to ask me what color I wanted and giving me a dull black one– I would have enjoyed a happy blue or lightening pink). It was tight on my arm, but the pressure helped the pain subside slightly. She shooed us out, seemingly eager to have us leave, and Ryder helped me back to my room, giving everyone who passed us in the halls a vial glare. I almost giggled at how protective he was for only knowing me for three days, but I knew he'd take my teasing seriously."How bad does it hurt on a scale of one to ten?" Ryder asked, turning to me."Seven," I admitted, "But it was an eleven before.""Well that's good," Ryder nodded, growling slightly as a pair of girls giggled and pointed at me, "I won't go on the run tomorrow, so I can hang out with you.""No - no," I said, shaking my head and gaining a sharp pain in the side of my head from the action, "You said it was the most liked event and I don't want you to miss it.""I want you to have company
Stealing Alpha's Heart Chapter 22: Wolf
I opened my eyes, once again being comforted by the warm feeling of the sun on my back - the way it had felt when I visited the Moon Goddess, "Ruby! Get off your lazy ass!"I looked around, wondering who had called me, since I didn't recognize the voice, "Who's there?"Suddenly, a figure materialized out of thin air, a sassy smirk on its face and its arms folded over its chest. It was a she-wolf, or at least that's what she looked like. She had red hair that wrapped around her head in an intricate braid and hung at her waist. Her eyes were grey - the color my eyes changed to when I was a wolf - that were taking me in, looking me up and down. She was about as tall as me, something pretty rare, but with the heels she had on, she had to be a good two to three inches taller. After neither of us spoke, she gave me a sly grin and asked, "Are you going to ask who I am? Rude, if I might add.""S-sorry," I said, mesmerized by her voice. Earlier it sounded odd and unfamiliar, but now it sounde
