Briella POV
After almost fainting from all the laps dad made me do, my body feels like jello. I was going to take Ethan up on his offer to carry me back to the back yard for hand to hand combat, but of course the boss said no. Sitting on the ground I wait for him to call names, and start pairing people. But he didn’t say anything till Alpha Erik stepped out of the house with his two goons following behind him. Okay what the hell is he doing here? I had enough of him and dealing with his constant staring at me at the meeting. I watched as he looked around the field till his eyes landed on mine. He scanned me as if I was his prey. Gross. Groaning, looking away from him, getting up and walking over to Ethan and Samantha.
“ Can you believe who's here?” I mocked
“ ooo do I hear hostility in your voice? Maybe Mr. big bad and handsome wants to watch his mate train.” sam chuckled
“ He sounds like a glorified douch-bag to me.” Ethan huffed
“ oh you are just jealous she isn’t your mate Ethan. Get over it neither of us will be.” she shook her head as he gasped all dramatic as if he’s staring in a school play and he’s the lead
“ You two are ridiculous, I don’t care what he says, he's not my mate.” I sigh rolling my eyes
“ ATTENTION!” my father yells causes everyone here to go silent
“ This is Alpha Erik, he is going to be overlooking training for now on. For reasons to be explained in the future, you are to show him just as much respect as you do me. Now pair up and begin hand to hand combat. I want to see improvement. Anymore who doesn’t seem to be improving will start private sessions with me or Alpha Erik.” he announces
“ Sam, please be my partner! Ethan can choose one of the guys.” I pouted
“ Fine, but you are getting your ass kicked.” she giggled jumping in place
“ Aww no fair, you know none of these guys like me.” Ethan pouts
“ get over it!” I groan
“ you owe me big time!” he hisses before walking away.
Just as I looked back at sam she was already coming at me with punches
Dodging her, i step to my left and get her right on her left side and chest
“ Aww look at you thinking you can hurt me.” she fake pouts poking her lips out.
We jump around in a circle before I kick both her legs out from under her and she lands on the ground. Laughing she wastes no time to do the same.
Laughing at how we now have muddy butts we stand up and throw more punches. Me and her are top ranked in our training class so we’ve gotten used to just fucking around while everyone else gets there asses handed to them.
“ you shouldn’t go easy on her. That won’t make her better.” A deep voice says behind me making me jump causing sam to get a bow to my stomach
“ Gosh you are like a leech that won’t get off my back.’’ I growled punching sam in the chest than another on the stomach
“ Oh I’m a leech now? How clever of you.”
“ don’t you have other students to be watching over, not just stalking me.” I groaned.
“ She's done, you may go get cleaned up” he says to sam, who instead of sticking by me she bow her head and walks off.
“ what the fuck was that for training just started?” I yelled
“ Punch me as hard as you can.”
“ what?”
“ You heard what I said.”
“ yeah I’m not doing that.”
“ why”
“ because I’ll hurt you.” i rolled my eyes
“ do it then.”
Sighing I walk in front of him without giving him eye contact and punch him right in the stomach making him step back a little.
“ alright you might be a little bit stronger than I expected.” he smirks
“ Yeah you think” I mocked
“ do it again.”
“ Are you on drugs? I’m not hitting you again.”
“ do it.”
“No”
“ do it”
“No”
“Now”
And with that I landed a punch not to his stomach again but his face. Shock crosses his face and others around me but then he smiled all creepy like and walked closer
“ You are strong, but you can be stronger. You will train with me tomorrow.” he whispers before walking away
Like hell I am.
“ What makes you think you can come here and boss me around? Huh! Dammit! I’m strong! Stronger than everyone here!” I yelled releasing my wings
“ BRIELLA!” My dad yells but all I can focus on was the anger building up inside of me.
“ I’m sick of people telling me “ oh your not good enough” or “ oh your good but not that good” I hear enough shit at school. The last thing I need is to hear it at home too.” I screamed walking closer to him. But he didn’t back away he didn’t move a muscle
“ You are nothing to me, you understand that!? Nothing! You don’t get to just walk up in my life and think you own it! I’m going to be the strongest alpha female our world has ever seen!” Pointing at him I can feel my whole body begging to heat up like a wolf fire.
“ Briella your eyes..” he whispered and with that I flew away. Away to the only place that makes me feel okay.
“ Of course father. Let’s talk.” Aurther hissed“ Please you guys can have a private conversation in my office.” Erik announced making his voice louder than theirs. Andrew and Hunter showed them to Erik’s office I waited until the kitchen door closed behind them before turning my eyes back on Erik.“ what? Why are you giving me that look?“ he sighed knowing already what I was going to say.“Really do you need me to explain? You just gave him up as if you didn’t care what was going to happen next.” I yelled throwing my hands up in the air“ Whatever he would of did to Aurther would of been a lot better than him taking his anger out of our pack” he admitted
I woke up this morning enjoying the two bundles of joy inside my stomach. I woke up this morning happy. We picked out our house and I love it, it’s huge and has plenty of room for everyone. Then reality sets in. James is on his way here. I don’t know what he is going to do or if everyone here will make it out alive after it’s all over. What if he is coming for war? And the talk he wants to have with me and Erik is just a distraction. But what if he doesn’t want to fight and we push him towards it by throwing Amanda in his face? How do I know what I’m doing is the right thing? Pushing myself out of bed I freeze. I freeze with my feet pressed against the ground.“ He’s here” rings through my head. I repeat this to myself over and over again as if I can’t seem to let it sink in the way it should.&l
“ sir? What do you want us to?” He asked me over and over again but I wasn’t quite sure how I wanted to go about this. If Aurther is alive and kicking would Liam be? No, that's impossible. I buried him myself. Rubbing the back of my neck with my hand I paced back and forth in my office. I can’t help but wonder what all Aurther heard. Has he been able to read mh thoughts all these years? I remember what happened that night Liam died. And that night Aurther ran away for good. He was so angry with me without letting me explain. His foolishness ended with his brother's death. Not that I’m surprised he’s never cared about this pack or anyone else other than himself. Stopping in one spot by the book case when the office door opens up and my head warrior walks in again probably to ask what we are doing. “ trucks are ready sir” was all he said. I’ll admit I was kind of surprised they took matters into their
“ YOU DID WHAT??” He yelled at me over and over again. I don’t think he meant it in a way to hurt my feelings more or in a way to show how angry he was about me telling Aurther to alert his father without discussing it with him first. I just sat here listening to everything he had to say. All his worries and concerns. He even expressed to me how he was worried that if I did get hurt in battle I'd even notice because of my reaction from the glass cutting my stomach. And if I’m being completely honest I haven’t thought about that at all. It was odd that I didn’t notice, maybe it was because of the twins' powers. I haven’t even considered them in the situation of getting hurt either. I know that has to make me sound like a bad mom. But with the way they are protecting themselves I’m sure they will be fine. Right? But I also believe even being this far along that I can still protect myself. I haven’t h
Later that yesterday afternoon, Erik and I decided we needed to move out of the pack house. With two kids coming we knew they would be trouble and the pack house is made for business. After deciding this I couldn’t stop thinking about it, honestly I haven’t been shopping for the babies at all either. I mean I’ve gotten a few things here and there when we go to the store for other things but I haven’t been really shopping for them for all the big things. He agreed that we would go and look at houses after all of this is over, so I might ask to go shopping some as well. Sitting in the bathroom on the toilet I work up the courage to get up on my own. Only being a few months pregnant they are already twice the size a normal baby would be by now. One loves to press against my bladder at all ends of the night. Pulling my pants up I wobble over to the sink to wash my hands and face. My face is all broken out and my feet are so swollen
“ So what's the plan?” Amanda asked, holding an ice pack to her face. Just a few minutes Alora saw her flirting it up with one of the pack members and didn’t hesitate to let her know how she felt about it. It’s been years since they’ve been together but obviously Alora isn’t over it even though she was married to Liam. I wonder if she actually loved Liam then?“ Aurther still has a connection to his father, but he says he has a wall up so his father has no idea. Just hearing from Aurther like that could make him furious. Which will spark the flame and lead him right here. That’s where you come in.” I answered by passing over a cup of coffee to her. With getting punched in the face by her ex I felt like they needed it. Her hair is bright red and skin is fair. Her eyes are bright light brown color almost like honey. I let her borrow some clothes from girl
