Wolf vs wolf “Aida!” Lance tries to snap me out of my sadistic mood but my wolf is dancing around in my head and she will get what I promised her. Revenge! Hong releases me but doesn’t move away from me. “You two, here!” The Alpha clicks his fingers at us. He was clearly irritated with our werewolf ways but he can’t change centuries of rituals in one afternoon. I’m not really sure what is happening around me. I don’t notice the other trainees sparring, all I see is Hong, all I want is Hong. He charges at me and I have to act fast. I let him catch me and throw me to the ground because as I roll him I manage to end up on top. I punch him in the jaw with quite a lot of force and his head whips from the impact. He pushes me off him in my chest, which throws me back and winds me for a second. He jumps back up rubbing his jaw that is already starting to show signs of bruising. For the next twenty minutes we continue to punch, push, elbow jab, kick and growl. I’m bruised, I’m bleeding,
Movie night “Report to me at my office 7am sharp!” Alpha orders at me before leaving, following Lance out the door. Doctor Wessex takes a step forward and clears his throat, because the room has turned extremely quiet. “Aida, is it okay if I check you over?” He asks. “Erm sure!” I respond looking at Blake for help. I didn’t want to lift my T-shirt again in front of the men. “Use the bedroom Doctor, Aida will feel more at ease with some privacy.” I felt like a child! I can’t believe she worded it like that.I follow Doctor Wessex to Lance’s bedroom and close the door behind me. It is a tidy bedroom with grey linen on the bed, a grey carpet, a dark walnut wood bed frame and matching furniture. It was minimalistic which led me to believe that this wasn’t actually Lance’s home. Just a place to stay when training or maybe his hook up place. My wolf growls at me for making such a suggestion. “Take a seat Aida!” Doctor Wessex gestures for me to sit on the end of the bed. The bed has a
Flashing Lights The way that Mav, Tucker, Axel and Blake were around Lance last night confirmed my suspicions that he was a Head Trainer, if not part of the close warrior team sworn in to directly protect the King and Royal family. Most of my intel is gained from when people think I am asleep! It was 6.30am and I had slept quite well considering my upcoming jail time in thirty minutes. Lance must have slept on the couch as the bed was cold on the side I hadn’t slept on. I hear a faint knock on the apartment door and hear Lance’s foot steps on the floor of his apartment. I very carefully walk over to his bedroom door and slightly open it ajar to find out who is visiting him so early in the morning. “Yes?” He grunts as he opens the door. “Sir, we are here for Aida Sagar! Orders from the Alpha!” I hear a male voice. The Alpha had the nerve of questioning my honour, of questioning whether I would attend my own punishment! Irritated by the insult on my character, I storm out of the b
The tidy up. I manage to move myself back under the table. I’d rather the world melted me away at this moment. I’m assuming the ransom girl was me, why did the rogue want me and who would they think would pay the ransom. My brother certainly wouldn’t, and if I paid the ransom myself, I’d have no money to buy my own place to escape to. They must have heard a pack princess was here, which meant someone from inside was leaking information to the rebels. The cell door unlocks with a thud and is slowly pushed open. Five pair of shoes, Blake unbelievably wearing heels even in battle, walk into the cell. “Aida?” Axel calls my name in a hushed tone. “Check the bathroom!” Lance orders. “I’m here!” I bleakly respond from under the table. All heads whip around and all eyes focus on me under the table. They all tilt their heads to the side, in that sympathetic look which grates on me every time. Lance takes a step towards me and crouches down to match my height level on the floor. “Are you h
A mind never forgets. My mind becomes conscious before I have the chance to open my eyes. I awake to the sound of beeping and at first I wonder if I am still in the cell with the intruder pack alarm blurring. As I open my eyes the white sterile ceiling does nothing to tell me where I am. The cell, the canteen, the training base hospital are all very similar in their design. As I focus more on the noise I realise the bleeping sound is coming from a monitor next to me. I look down to see myself laying on a hospital bed, in a private hospital room. The tubes that are travelling from the monitor to me, are linked up to my hand and arm. I pull all tubes out which results in a red flashing light and alarm coming from the machine. Heavy footsteps race down the corridor outside and barge into my room. Lance, Axel and Doctor Wessex all stare at me with sheer panic in their eyes. “They are there for a reason!” Doctor Wessex tuts me as he walks over as he mutes the monitor. “What happened?” I
Missing a Lycan! Lance and Axel didn’t leave my sight once. It was now later that day and tomorrow was Wednesday, and Lance had to leave for the King’s trip to the Hansen Pack. “Maybe I shouldn’t go?” Lance stops mid packing, hesitating once again. “Lance, I’ll be fine. Doctor Wessex said I was good to leave the hospital.” I reassure him. I am sat on Lance’s bed watching him pack, my wolf already pining for him and he hasn’t even left yet. I pouted when he packed a tux for the traditional Alpha ball on the Saturday, the last night of hosting. I hadn’t been to an Alpha ball but I had heard plenty about them. Everyone was to attend, even the omegas. Supposedly it was to thank everyone for hosting the King but I wasn’t as fooled. I think it was so the King could continue to find his mate. The thought of Lance dancing with pretty dressed up she-wolves was really agitating me. I hear his apartment front door open and Axel walks into Lance’s bedroom dumping a black holdall on the floor.
Sleeping in the trunk! I finally manage to cut the seatbelt and push the seat forward. I try to angle my way out of the boot but the gap is too small. I even try to dislocate my shoulder, with a lot of pain, but I still can’t fit through. I try to pick the trunk door’s lock but after twenty minutes of trying my arms hurt, especially with the dislocated shoulder. Clearly I was going to have to spend the night in the car boot, at least I was somewhat comfy, at least I was dry and safe. I haven’t heard any voices or evidence of a camp being near by. All I can hear is the regular hooting of an owl nearby and nocturnal animals busying themselves in the woodlands that must be nearby. The majestic glow from the full moon high in the night’s sky provides a low light to me in the back of the car. I can make out the moon’s ethereal glow through the gap into the front of the car. The Sagar pack, my home pack, will be enjoying a night time wolf run right about now. It’s something my father encour
You never forget…This is all very overwhelming for me. These Lycan friends of mine were trained for a world I hadn’t yet been exposed to…witches! What was I actually doing here? What did I expect to achieve? A medal saying well done for passing Lycan training and that Henri would welcome me back to the pack with open arms. That Caleb would reject Skylar and be with me. I was working towards a future that didn’t exist for me anymore. I didn’t need to prove my skill for anyone but myself. Combat training won’t be an advantage for me when working in the human world. So why was I still here? I had got swept up with my new group of friends. But once they complete training they won’t have space in their lives for me. Lance might not be mated yet, but he wouldn’t accept a she-wolf as a life partner. His family, wouldn’t accept me, why would they? What have I got to offer? He’ll be destined for a she-Lycan and I can’t just live a life waiting for it to be shattered. “Are you still awake? You
