The Alphas Prize

#Chapter1I laid there in the soft grass, staring up at the sky, watching as the clouds swirled around and the birds soared with the wind. I groaned internally at my wounded pride. "That was a bitch move, you know!" I said to my brother Gunnar. My brother and I are currently having a one-on-one training session, as I want to up my game, but man, he can be challenging at times.He looked down at me with a stern appearance and a tone to match his expression. "Yes, it was, but remember Freja, your opponents won't always fight fair. They will fight dirty and use whatever tactic they can in order to take you out. So you need to be prepared for such moves, whether it's a bitch move or not!" I growled at him and rolled my eyes, even though as much as I hate to admit it, he was right. The Rogues are dirty fighters, and they don't care whether you are male or female; they will do whatever it takes to win the battle. My brother stood there looming over me, with a cheeky smile plastered

#Chapter3After erasing my insane thoughts, I stood up from the ground, remembering the howl released throughout the forest; my mind began to race with negative thoughts now. What if dad was hurt? What if Gunnar was hurt? I began to run as fast as my feet would take me, searching for familiar faces. Finally, I came to a sudden halt when I saw Erik's familiar and welcoming face! I raced towards him and jumped into his arms. “Are you ok? Are you injured? Where are the others? Did the rogues retreat?” He raised a finger and placed it on my lips, ceasing my rambling. He stared deep into my eyes with a half-smile; he then removed his finger and began to caress my cheek. I closed my eyes, leaning into his touch; he always knew how to calm my overactive nerves. “I’m fine, Freja, a few scratches and bruises, but otherwise still alive.” He chuckled, and I breathed a sigh of relief. “You are the first person I have found, and it seems as though the rogues have retreated, but I am not su

#Chapter5As morning approached, the sun began to engulf my room, causing me to let out a frustrated groan. Closing my eyes tightly, I pulled my blanket up and over my head in an attempt to shield myself from the blinding light. I barely slept; my mind raced all night from everything that had happened the previous day. Thoughts of the battle surged through my brain, Mikael’s death, the Dead pack retreating, but mostly I thought about Alpha Cain and our encounter. I thought about how attractive he was, how his closeness made me wet and caused tingles to shoot through my whole body. I thought about his words, his threats and especially how he had let me go, but not before telling me that we would meet again; what did he mean by that? Also, why did he want to propose a treaty? That was the biggest unanswered question. Pushing aside my endless thoughts, I got up from the bed and headed for the bathroom. First, I took a nice long shower, washing everything away. I then got out, brushed

#Chapter7I gasped and stumbled back a bit; no, this can’t be possible; that monster cannot be my mate.I shook my head furiously. “No, that’s not possible, I refuse to believe that, and even if it is true, I will not go with him,” I said firmly.Dad ground his teeth. “I don’t like this any more than you do, but Alpha Cain has made it clear that he wants you. He informed me that if you go with him, he will end the war and sign a peace treaty between the packs.” He looked to be pained saying this.“No, I won’t do it, dad! I will not go with him!” Anger was flowing through me now, like a never-ending river. Dad pinched the bridge of his nose. “Freja, you need to understand the situation. Alpha Cain has made it crystal clear that he will come and destroy the pack if you do not go with him. Leaving no one and nothing behind, and then he will take you by force. Either way, he will get what he wants.” He replied, raising his voice. “So, then we fight, we recruit other packs to stand

#Chapter9I peered down at the floor, and my chest began to tighten. I couldn’t believe Erik left without saying goodbye; that hurt. I took in a deep breath and rubbed my face with my hands.“Alpha Cain is here; he is waiting outside for me to take me……back to his territory. I just came in to say goodbye to everyone.” I said as my voice cracked with sadness.Mom began to cry and whimper; then, she engulfed me in a tight, comforting hug. “Everything will be alright, sweetheart; I’m sure he will allow you to visit or us to visit you.” She was trying to reassure me of things and make me feel better about the whole situation. I loved her even more for that because we both knew I was fucked! I looked at Adela and reached out to hug her. She began sobbing silently, and I rubbed her back, trying to comfort her. “It’s ok, Adela, I’ll be fine,” I said, trying to reassure her. “I know you will be; it just isn’t fair,” She replied between sobs. I pulled back from her and wiped her te
