Semua Bab Timber Alpha: Bab 51 - Bab 60

I must have fallen asleep in his arms, when I woke up, I could feel the sparks of his skin on mine, and the warmth of the fireplace at my back as I squirmed in discomfort. His anger was similar to the night my arm was broken, but it was so steady it surrounded me, it felt uncomfortable and painful even."Kal..." I started groggily, my eyes shooting open as a sudden rush of worry mixed with relief lifted the anger a bit, "what's wrong?"His eyes were swirling the green flecks around as I ran my hand up his chest and wrapped it around his neck. "Your anger hurts Kal," I whined as a stinging sense of shock rolled over me.I turned my head slightly to see Eathen and Nicholi sitting in chairs across from where we were. I was so confused and disoriented as I turned my head back to Kal, "Where did you find me?""In bed Octavia," his voice was concerned but sounded frustrated, "where did you go?""I woke up outside..." I was trying to grasp at anything tha

When we got down to the training room Eathen and Nicholi were dressed much the same. Fully dressed they looked similar in size to Kal, a bit smaller, but looking at them now, I truly recognized what a beast Kal was, and it made me wonder when we went back to Moon Rising how small I would think Theo was in comparison.Kal’s arms were explosive, his shoulders and biceps are huge and bulky, making his arms rest away from his chest slightly, where Eathen and Nicholi's muscles were large but still fit within their frame.Eathen stood by me and talked through some basic self defence moves that Kal was going through with poor Nicholi, making alterations as we went through and explaining what to do differently if I was in wolf form. He assured me once I was comfortable in human form that Echo would take over with the info and know what to do, that she had her instincts to guide her, and if we were good at fighting in person, that our wolves would just be an extension of

As we walked into the training room Nicholi looked a little worried, while Eathen looked mischievously excited. I think Eathen agree with me that I needed to be trained, he knew Kal hated the idea, but to have a Luna untrained in a territory where everyone else was, was just asking for trouble.Kal paired me with Nicholi first, as him and Eathen modelled what to do. It was just going through the motions, but it felt like progress. Over the next few days the training graduated to a bit more hand to hand with less instruction, I could tell they were holding back as far as strength went, but I felt pretty fast in comparison.Kal always told me I was doing well, but he would say anything to make me satisfied enough with my training level to stop. It wasn't until I spent a day with Elle catching up, that I found out Eathen told her he was impressed with my progress. He would never tell me that in person, but knowing that, meant a lot to me.I kept pushing Kal to let

“Can you guys not feel other people’s emotions???" My heart was racing as I stared at Kal waiting on a reaction."Umm...." Nicholi interrupted, "I feel violated," he smirked at me as Eathen shoved him for making jokes.Kal stroked his hand down my face, drawing my attention back to him, his voice was deep but soft again, "I can feel the sparks,” he cupped my face with his hand, “just like I can feel your body react to mine.”He adjusted the ice on my ribs and I winced a little, “I can feel when you're in pain, like when you cracked a rib hitting the mat, or when your anger was painful to you.” I could feel his sadness wash over me gently as my own guilt grew, he was protecting me when I didn’t realize I fractured something, not hindering my training because of his emotions.He lifted my chin so I was looking at him again, his voice was softer than I had ever heard it be, his words came out cautiously like th

Kal covered my mouth with his hands and my heart sank, I knew this would be too much for him. I just stared into his eyes as he tried to process what I told him, my lungs felt as though they couldn't inhale as I waited to hear his voice and my tears streamed down, and over his hand against my lips.His chest rumbled beneath me and I could see Saber’s bright green hue’s trying to swirl in as Kal’s voice somehow came out steady, grounding me to a state of peace.“I will never leave you, and you will never be without me." His first words made me instantly cry harder in relief, his voice was so sure that I listened attentively for more."We will figure this out together and get through it together. We may have been drawn together by the mate bond, but that’s because we complete each other,” his face tensed, “even IF anything were to happen to that mate bond, you were still meant for me.”He lifted me up so that
