The Alpha’s War Prize: Hearts at War (Book 1)

The cold was even worse on this dreadful night. I was shivering so badly, and my brother tried his best to shield me from the harsh weather, but he needed the warmth he was trying to provide way more than I did. I felt terrible, but I was also aware that there was nothing I could do to make him change his mind, so I just kept quiet and burrowed myself deeper into his arms and the little warmth he provided. The monsters who did this to us were glaring at us, but they had not yet uttered a word to any of us after they brought us here.I dared to look back at the pack house and could not stop the whimpers that left my lips as I took in the sight of our once beautiful pack house now brought to rumbles and ashes as it burned behind us. I silently prayed to the moon goddess to save us from this disaster, but it seemed she wasn’t listening to any of us today. Has she turned her back on one of her own? Did we commit a great sin against her, and now she was punishing us? I quickly dragge

I woke up with a dull ache somewhere in my head, and I tried to get a bearing of where I was as though the humming of the car I was seated in wasn’t enough proof that I was not at home anymore, but I was desperate for it not to be true. I was awake, but my eyes were not open yet because I didn’t want them to know I had regained consciousness. I wished it were one of those times where I would wake up with no memory of what had just happened, or it would all be a dream, but this was reality, and reality didn’t work like fantasies. When I finally decided to open my eyes since I couldn’t keep them closed for much longer, my vision was sleep-blurred, and I had to wait for a few minutes before my eyes finally adjusted to the space I was in. I almost jumped back in shock when I found someone already staring at me from the passenger’s seat. I shrank into myself when I realised who was staring back at me. It was the same brunette who had handled me so roughly. But now, as I stared at him

The name of the alpha rang in my head like a loud church bell. Alpha Zion Kincaid of the Valis pack. Everyone knew that name, even if they didn’t know who he was in person. Very little is known about the man, and for someone like me, I knew less than the others.Dad, for reasons unknown to me till this day, had put a ban on that name, so we couldn’t freely talk about the alpha or anything that had to do with the pack, but that didn’t mean that I didn’t hear enough about him from people who carried gossip but that also meant I knew practically next to nothing except baseless rumors.He was known as the Blood Alpha because he enjoyed bathing in the blood of his enemies, but I didn’t believe that a person could be so terrifying, so I always laughed off the exaggerated adjectives that were used to describe him.It was said that he became the Alpha of a small pack after a tragedy that took his father, the previous alpha and within the space of five years, he had grown that small pack into o

This time, when the plate of food was brought into my room, I didn’t throw it away but gulped down the food like a starving animal, which I technically was.The girl who brought the food was startled by the way I had ripped the plate of food from her before she could place the tray down and began eating, but she didn’t wait around. She flew out of the door as I settled on the floor, ripping the grilled meat with my hands and teeth.“She is eating,” I heard the girl gasp out to the guard at the door the moment she left the room.“You’re joking,” Marcus told her. I could hear the disbelief in his voice, and I didn’t blame him. I would too if I were in his shoes.“Would I joke about something like that? I’m off. I need to tell Alpha Zion that she finally ate” The girl told Marus. She made a move to leave, but he stopped her.“Seems the Alpha’s visit was the nudge she needed to start eating. I was getting worried she was going to die at that rate. I’m glad he visited her”“The Alpha visite

My hatred for the man could not overpower the bond that we shared.I figured it was because I was in so much pain, anger and hunger that I had not recognised him as my mate, and only did when my head was in the right place. Ever since he left the room, I couldn't get him out of my head. There was a contrast in emotion between my head and my heart. My head couldn’t and didn’t want to accept the fact that Zion was our mate, but my heart was fighting me on it. It had accepted that he was our mate, and because of that, my thoughts always trailed back to how amazing he smelled and how good he looked.It was dangerous to me, these unwanted feelings I kept having. I despised that I was starting to desire such a man against my will. I was scared and worried out of my mind. I couldn’t risk rejecting him and dying because I was so stubborn. I would not be able to get my revenge, but the main question that kept lingering at the back of my head was if I would be able to kill this man that was
