Alpha Games

Chapter 27- Entering the Desert

After the fight, everyone fussed over taking care of me. Mom filled the tube with ice water and insisted i get in to help the healing and take off the swelling. I risked a look in the mirror and my reflection scared me. I was covered in blood, the streaks of tears down my cheeks were the only visible color of my skin. Multiple bruises battered my body and i defiantly couldn't ignore the broken rib, although i knew it would heal in a few more hours. Perks of being supernatural, our healing is rather quick.

Slipping into the ice bath my breath hitched, that is seriously cold. The cubes floating around had my focus as i forced my body lower, the initial sting turned to a numbing and i found that the pain was completely gone and i was felt as if i was getting a high from it. My thoughts where immediately calmed one with the cold, a blank, numb cold. Why have i never tried this before, as i sighed happily the warm hand brought me out of my bliss. 

"Sarah honey its time to get out n get cleaned up. We leave for the Desert wolves in an hour, your father is more than ready to leave." My mother Serena patted my cheek as she left the room. I could still hear my father in the other room. He must have been on the phone since every now and then he would raise his voice a little but i never heard another word from anyone else. 

Pulling myself out of the water i dried myself with the towel, being careful around my rib since i could feel the dull throb coming back. After getting changed into skinny dark jeans, white v-neck shirt and my flats i opened the bathroom door to find everyone in my room. Bags where all stacked neatly on a cart by the door, they had even packed my things as well. 

"So i take it yall are ready to go then?" i asked with my eyebrow raised still holding the door handle.  Sophie spoke up first " Yeah, more than ready apparently your public castration of a beta did not go unnoticed and even though most approved it was still not allowed." i rolled my eyes at her.

Before i could continue my father interjected " Sarah, while i most definitely would have done it, being a princess doing it has rather upset the council. Obviously he more than deserved his death as well but you also told a king to clean his pack up." He laughed at the last part shaking his head. "You are most definitely my fire and rice wrapped up in my little trouble making package, I don't believe there is an alpha ballsy enough to claim you at this point." 

Smiling at his words, a pang in my heart as i heard them. That is the same thing Max calls me, i needed him." Daddy, does that mean we can call off the Alpha Games now and i can me an Alpha Queen ruling alone?" I smiled hopefully. If that happens i would choose Max and this whole thing would be over. Bruce was wonderful but he already had a mate and i knew that, my wolf wouldn't allow us to be second loved for sure. We were both greedy and needed our mates all, physically and emotionally.

Samuel's response made my shoulders slump " Ha, i would love to say so but your little display has more than we ever imagined wanting you as a mate! You now have more than 15 males vying for your hand and ready to kill for it." He smiled so big at the last part, he obviously was beyond proud of me at this point. whether or not i liked it, i guess this was a good thing. Now i have more than enough choices in a mate, i knew i wanted the strongest i could get and even though i wanted max, my wolf wasn't so sure. 

Finally making our way onto the plane, i flopped down in my seat. Lifting my phone up to my ear i wanted to hear from home. Three rings and Millie's voice was loud and shrill " You crazy, amazing, psychotic, alpha wolf! I am so proud of you! Your like all anyone can talk about! You as big a hit as Carrie Underwood!" I laughed at her shaking my head. I slid over to watch out the window as the last of our bags where loaded up. 

"Thanks Mils, i did what we all thought of a hundred times but when i heard about his daughters i couldn't control myself or Sadie, he deserved to never hurt anyone else. As for the king well there is a reason they are called shadows i suppose." Her laughing on the other end warmed my heart. I missed home and couldn't wait to be back.
