After a day of rest and being intimate, they did feel much better and invigorated.She spent another week of training and made an unexpected discovery. She quickly informed Caleb of it.“Huh, is that so?” He took on a serious expression as he contemplated.“Well, then, just order them to sit down. I want to see.”“Alright.” Alice realized she can still order others without saying the words. As long as they’re staring at her eyes, she can bid them to do anything. It’s all good.Caleb watched them closely this time and one by one, Alice has made them sit on the ground. He realized it was a bizarre sight and they shouldn’t have done it in plain sight.“That’s enough. You all can take a rest. I’ll bring Alice to see my brother.” He looked around and saw the confusion in the eyes of some. Clearly, not everyone was looking at them and minding their own business. Still… it wasn’t good. He should’ve been more aware of the place.“I already know that I can also order them while in wolf form. I
“You’re probably doing it unconsciously, but Caleb was convinced your training partners could easily dodge half of your attacks but they don’t. They have more years of training than you. This is hindering your progress. So, I’ll be training with you this week.”She was stunned for a while and he could tell the exact moment in clicked in her mind. Then, she looked guilty.“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.”He simply smiled at her. “I know. Even though that’s the reality for you and you can fight that way, the training was for you to hone your other skills. Since it doesn’t work on me, I’ll train with you.”His mate looked at him while biting her lower lip.“Isn’t it a bother? You have other things to do, right? I’m sorry.”“Alice…” Conrad sighed, standing in front of her and holding her shoulders.“This is only temporary. Just for this week. This is actually great for me. I get to escape my boring and stressful work in the office.”She still looked doubtful.“You’ve probably made a habit o
Conrad held her hand as they walked around the pack territory. He decided every fighter they have must know how Alice looks like. He’s reintroducing her to everyone. After that, he brought her to meet other people holding important positions in the pack. She’s familiar with Lucas and Marco. She felt a little guilty upon seeing the people she used to runaway with. Some of them remained in Snow Mountain and adapted well. Others moved on to other territories. The elderly woman stayed and was happy to see her again.“You’ve been so busy. I didn’t want to bother you. It’s nice to see you again.”“Thank you. I’m sorry I haven’t gone to see you sooner. I just have too much on my mind.” Alice apologized after they hugged each other.“I know, sweetheart. You have too much on your shoulders. I know you can do it.”Alice showed her a puzzled expression, to which the older woman smiled warmly.“Everyone knows. And almost everyone sympathizes with you. When I heard you left, I was tempted to follo
She grew up in a family of Alphas, so she’s aware of the responsibilities. She might not have enough training from Silver Crescent, but she has awareness.Alice just couldn’t face them all without apologizing for the trouble she brought with her. In front of everyone, she promised to become stronger and that if given the opportunity, she will deal with Alpha Walter herself. She’s sorry for the things that has already happened and she could only make up for it by ensuring she avenges everyone.“I’ll do my best to be the Luna you all deserved, one you wouldn’t need to protect, but one who would be able to protect you instead. Someone who can stand on equal footing with your Alpha right here.” She managed a small smile and bowed her head, quickly looking at Conrad.He knew just how nervous she was and he could distinguish the tremors in her voice as she spoke earlier.In front of everyone, he pecked her lips and whispered, “You did well.”She nervously chuckled only for him to hear and h
“Should we wait for them to attack?”, Caleb asked.“It's not as if we can go and attack them, can we?”, Conrad asked back.His brother shrugged. He's got a point. They're not equipped to travel then fight. Who knew where the members of Silver Crescent have roamed? They continued to train and waited with vigilance.Initially, the men from other packs wanted to test Alice. But with the Alpha there, they didn’t dare to do anything out of line. They saw her diligence and determination. It’s admirable. It does make your perspective change a bit.To be loathed for the mere fact one of your parents isn’t a werewolf. You haven’t done anything yet and others already want your head.Selene helped in making their stay as comfortable as possible. They trained with the men of Snow Mountain every day. Overall, they’re an additional fighting force. Over a hundred of them from six other packs. It’s better than nothing and truthfully, they might not be able to house more.There were a couple of happy
Everything suddenly became a blur to her, which is bad. She’s moving on instinct and not truly aware of her surroundings and who she’s attacking. She fiercely growled before stalking behind a tree and calming herself. Both Caleb and Conrad told her how important it is for her to be fully conscious of her every action.Someone dared to sneak up on her and she mercilessly fought back. At this time, her nervousness died down, no longer rushing her and making her impatient. That’s good enough for her. She crouched down, laying low as she surveyed her surroundings again. The wolf within her began to feel agitated the longer they stay still.She began moving, pouncing on an enemy and sinking her fangs on their necks. She clawed at their bodies, striking them repeatedly until they no longer move. Whimpers and growls filled the air. Almost no one in sight is in their human form. This time she moved with purpose, methodically attacking one after another. Only by looking at her red eyes were wo
Conrad wouldn’t waste the opportunity. He knew such an action from Walter wasn’t natural. He could guess Alice has something to do with it.He clamped hard against his neck and ravaged him, tearing his flesh. There was a howl of pain and Alice struck him across the face. He told her to never position herself below an enemy, exposing her neck to vulnerability. He’s proud of how she’s applying the things she learned in real life.But it’s not that easy. Walter resisted and struggled, managing to swipe Alice away with such force that she was pushed back a few feet away. Conrad also persisted and wouldn’t let go of him. He was almost hugging the other wolf, keeping him in place. Alice returned within a minute and attacked his body. She wouldn’t dare hit him on the head, lest Conrad’s bite on him loosens. It became a matter of perseverance. Who would last longer? Who would tire out first? She could tell Conrad is already exhausted. He must have fought others earlier even before this bastar
Conrad wanted to be quick. He doesn’t want to leave Alice for too long. This time, he wanted to be there for her, to be with her as they go through this loss and grieve. But alas, he couldn’t just not do any of his responsibilities as Alpha of the pack. Everyone who needed rest, he told them to take a break. Those who can still move around began the clean-up. They first dealt with their comrades, giving aid to those who are badly injured and in need of medical attention. Priorities. Marco brought Walter’s body deeper into the woods and began digging. They would set him on fire and witness his ruin before burying him. It has to be done. Otherwise, they can’t be sure if he planned some hocus-pocus or if his minions would. After their own were tended to, the rest went to gather the dead bodies. Their fallen members go in one side and the enemies go in another. Sure, they were cruder in handling the bastards’ bodies. There were cries and wailing as family members find their loved ones am
