All Chapters of Game of hearts: The Ruthless Alpha and his warrior bride : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

EDGAR One and a half decades ago I was jolted awake by the sound of horses neighing wildly. The air was thick with smoke and something sharp, medicine, maybe. My throat burned when I tried to swallow, and my body ached like it had been sewn back together with fire. I glanced around, only to find I was in some kind of tent. I jolted up, realizing I wasn't dead after all. I patted every part of my body, searching for where that red soldier had cut me–as the last thing I saw was my life flash before my eyes in the form of a red soldier's blade–but there was nothing. I was alive… but how? Or maybe I was dead, and this was the first stage of rebirth… maybe any moment now an angel would take me to my final resting place or to the river Styx to be reincarnated. “You’re awake.” A small voice came from the entrance of the tent, startling me. For a second, I was frozen in one spot. Just a couple of feet away was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my life. “Don't be afraid,

Celeste The events of the next couple of days involved me planning and unplanning my next move with no successful or concrete plan. I had received another letter from my parents, asking more questions about what was going on and why my cousins were not yet released. I was too ashamed to tell them the actual reason was because I hadn’t slept with my supposed husband yet, and it wasn't from the lack of trying. I hadn’t seen much of Edgar since that awkward morning. He was always on official duties, and meetings with his council. Meetings I couldn’t be part of. It didn’t stop me from trying to eavesdrop though. One afternoon, I had tried to barge in, but Maverick had stopped me with that irritated slithering patronizing smile of his. Every time I tried to ask him, his answers were vague, and he just stirred the conversation with his usual annoying charm by making inappropriate jokes. Today, however was different, he had walked into my room very early in the morning wearing his armo

CELESTE I held onto my sword, watching Edgar closely. Ever since, he began this ridiculous sparring bonding exeeciss with me.He had been happier.The fact he thought it was better than intercourse was laughable.Did he honestly believe that or was it just another game of his to seduce me?I concluded that it was. Whatever attraction he felt for me was starting to get on my very last nerve.Sure I could exploit it, but it still made me mad that he had the right to like me or just over me.“You look like you’re about to kill me,” he muttered, shifting his stance.I gave him a dead look.“Maybe I am,” I said, twirling my blade lazily. “Wouldn’t that make your day more thrilling?”He gave a crooked smile. “It would make it shorter.”“Then hold your tongue and defend yourself. You wanted to spar, don't waste my time. I lunged forward without warning. Our swords clashed, the impact ringing through the quiet courtyard. I pushed, twisting my wrist sharply and nearly disarming him.He reco

Edgar A decade and a half ago. I wasn't sure what type of sorcery she had placed on me, but everytime I stared at her, I was mesmerized. She was currently practicing her swordsmanship and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. She was only fourteen yet she fought like she was a seasoned veteran. “What are you looking at, boy?” Her guard or as she kept saying “Uncle” asked. I had been here for a total of two days, and I had learnt a whole deal about Eloise. Not only was she really quiet and angelic, and made me want to forget about my mission for revenge, she also seemed to be of noble birth even though she kept downplaying it. She was some kind of noble that wanted to be a soldier. I found it laughable at first, but quickly realized she was not joking about her ambition. There were a few women I had seen that were excellent soldiers, even my sister before she died practiced a whole lot of swordsmanship despite my father's warning. Most female soldiers ne

Celeste“This is amazing,” Selene said beside me. I glared at her.“Or not.”The music was loud and boisterous. The orchestra was really worth its salt.Edgar was beside me, talking to a couple of his Alpha’s friends.He towered over them all easily and drew everyone’s attention without trying.I didn’t want to be here, but I had no choice but to be.“Get me something to drink,” I whispered to Selene. She nodded.I watched as she walked off to the nearest table to fetch me a drink.Then my eyes landed on two women who were walking towards me. Celia and Alice. They were both in a conversation with none other than Gloria.What was she even doing here? My eyes travelled across the room, and there a familiar figure stood watching me from across.Candor.I stepped away from Edgar, who was involved in a deep conversation with his fellow alphas, and made my way towards him.As soon as he noticed me, he stepped away from the ladies around him and made his way towards me.“Candor.
