Winner Takes All Novels & Stories

Their conversation was disrupted when Walter called for everyone’s attention. “I would like to thank everyone who participated in this year’s tournament. Despite not reaching the finals, you are all winners. In today’s final game, we had two players, and the winner is Mary Dallas. It’s a very special moment because it’s the first time since we started this wedding that a female has won this competition,” Walter said, and the crowd screamed in joy.

The other two players seemed relatively confident, but I had my hidden advantage. The voice called out saying, “Winner takes it all. If you're pleased with your winning so far, drop forty percent of your total winnings and walk away.” Each player looked at the other and the young woman said, “Today's my lucky day and I better keep my luck running. “ The other player got up and made his way out. The house would take twenty percent of everything a winner forfeited and the rest would be put on for whoever won to take home. The needed number for the game to pull through was three, and here we were two players on.

It was coming from all around us. Thistle flinched and Thor swore under his breath. “The win condition has been updated.” My breath caught in my throat. The win condition? Changed? But how could that be? The games had always been the same, ever since they started. The last person left alive was the winner. Simple. Cut and dry. “Senna,” Thor clutched my arm. “I don’t like this.” “The first person to reach and touch the Spire will be declared the victor.”

She always is. But me? I’m not so sure. "In recognition of their groundbreaking proposal," the judge continues, "and their dedication to the prosperity of the kingdom as a whole, we are pleased to announce that this year’s winner is…" He pauses, and the entire room seems to hold its breath. "…Windhowl Pack." The words hit like a thunderclap, I turn away, my heart pounding. This isn’t over. Not by a long shot. But for now, I’ll take the victory. For my pack. For Windhowl. For me.

He starts tapping the ground with his surrender but that isn’t enough for me. “SAY IT!” I yelled. He didn’t want to, so I kept hitting him. “SAY IT, OR THIS MATCH ISN’T OVER!” Finally, he calls out, “I YIELD!” Crane caught it all on camera and announced, “Ethan Walters is the winner. Alpha Perry Harper has admitted defeat. Congratulations to Ethan.”

It seemed there was a division in their camp, but hands went up, two at first then five, then six,and seven. My hands dug into my thigh, because everyone knew the other side had more members than I did, before another went up making it eight, a tie. My hands clenched even tighter at the thought that I had lost it all when the door cranked open and Nortia walked in. “ I guess that makes Alexis the winner, I am here instead of Edward's corporation, does it ring a bell?”

“Hold on! But we do have a winner for something else. Come on, MC. Please wear Kehlani Cole the crown.” I blinked. “What's going on? Maddie, what is this all about? What the hell is wrong with you?” I was standing, shy, embarrassed and so fucking lame. I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me. The MC from my back placed a crown on my head and I tried to push him but I was guarded hard not to make a move. My heart starts beating fast. “Ladies and gentlemen. I present to you, winner of all hackers. Anonymous X!”

"The rule also states that whoever wins the most is the winner. Please accept your destiny and marry me. I promise to take care of you." He snatched my right hand and kissed it. So I had to call Nora to sanitize it by pouring holy water in front of this jerk. "I would only accept my defeat if you played fair and square." "Are you accusing the Prince of Tozia?! How dare you, Young Lady!" The King's quality of voice was comparable to a microphone. Such a great tone in it. The tweet of the audience didn't help either. I should demand a part of earnings from this event. "Alright, since I am a gentleman and I am the guy who respects her future wife's opinion, we would play the last round with a t

“Her brother sleeps with a bitch that isn’t a wolf. She’s a fucking omega. Useful just to play with and discard.” Jake and Stacey growled behind me, and I had to check myself before I launched myself at Matty’s throat. Kimia just smiled sweetly at the bastards. “I’ll tell you what, gentlemen. One game. If I win, you have to get a tattoo that says Insan Sevenler over your heart. If you win, I’ll leave your genitals intact.” Matty just smirked. “If I win, you owe me a date.” Kimi just held her hand out. “Deal.” Shit.

Lara excitedly said while hopping on her feet. “So, the royal princes and princesses will play games, just a fun activity really, but they could become competitive as well. Whoever wins will do anything they desire. Be it a property, a position, marriage, and many more.” “That sounds like it's only fun for them. Why are you guys so happy?”I asked while washing my paint brushes to prepare for the game tomorrow. “Because if the prince or princess we serve wins, we get our own rewards, too! Last year, Prince Kraven won and his servants were rewarded as well. They won money and vacations!”
