Born Rogue Chapter 25
As days passed, Tyler and I found ourselves sleeping together every night. Some nights, I couldn’t fall asleep. Other nights, he couldn’t fall asleep. Two weeks after I moved into the pack house, Tyler suggested that I move into his room with him. I informed him that I would move in with him when I was officially declared Luna to the pack. Tyler thought that was agreeable and began to prepare for the ceremony. Throughout my stay at the pack, I gradually met more of the pack members so the ceremony was more for show than an actual introduction. Tyler set the date for a month after I moved in. That morning I woke up in Tyler’s arms, as per usual. He had joined me in my bed last night, having been unable to fall asleep on his own. I start to wiggle my way down and out of his arms. I am only able to move a couple of inches before Tyler’s arms tighten around me, forcing me to stop moving. I peer up at him and catch him grinning down at me. “This is the last time we will be

A loud growl rings in my ears as Tyler expresses his displeasure at the she-wolf’s disrespect towards me. “Warriors–” Tyler begins to shout, but falls silent when I raise my hand. I watch as the men who responded to his call stop moving and look at me. I wait until the crowd falls silent before responding. I stare straight into the she-wolf’s eyes as I speak. “I accept your challenge.” Chaos erupts as I finish my statement. All of the pack members are talking loudly amongst themselves. I feel a hand grab my arm and swing me around until I am face to face with Tyler, who looks angry. “What are you doing?” he growls in a whisper. “You can’t fight. You could get hurt and then I will lose you.” I study his face and notice his eyes growing glassy. “It’s alright,” I tell him, pulling him into a hug. “I can’t lose you again,” he mumbles as he cries into my shoulder. “You won’t lose me,” I reassure him as I gently rub his back. “Besides, I couldn’t turn down her

My paws pound against the concrete underneath me as I run to the center of the cage. I notice Kira running towards me and halt my approach about ten feet from her. She does the same. For a few tense minutes we circle each other, trying to judge what the other’s weakness was. Kira breaks the tension and makes the first move. She dashes straight at me. Upon reaching my snout, she begins to drop lower. Noticing her intentions of sliding underneath me, I jump over her. I land several feet away from her and growl furiously. That move is very dangerous. The attacker slides underneath their opponent and slices open their stomach. While this move can be used to simply threaten your opponent, a careless swipe of your claws can easily kill them. Why that little-, Enar begins. Enough. I’m angry, too. That move is not meant to be used to test someone’s skill, but that doesn’t mean you get to kill her for it, I tell Enar. I will win this fight and show Kira her mistake. F

I step out of the bathroom and spot Tyler sitting on the edge of his bed with his elbows on his thighs. The party ended an hour ago. Tyler left to get ready for bed shortly after it finished. I decided to stay a little longer to wrap up my conversation with Kira and Stella. Tyler was ready for bed by the time I made it up to his room. Sorry. Our room. As of this morning, I am officially sharing a room with Tyler. “We need to talk,” Tyler says as I walk closer to him. “Why is your wolf so big and how are you so good at fighting?” I sigh and take a seat on the bed next to him. “My wolf is actually standard size for a lycan,” I remark. “A lycan?” Tyler asks. “I thought lycans were just legends.” “I certainly hope I am not a legend,” I joke before growing serious. I flop back onto the bed as I explain. “Both of my parents were lycans. The last two of their kind, as far as I know. They were searching for an acceptable werewolf pack to join, but couldn’t find one.

The gym falls silent as Tyler and I walk in. On our way here, Tyler explained to me what they do for training. All wolves meet in the same gym where I fought Kira before training starts. The lead trainers and alpha give them instructions as to what they will be doing. Then the wolves are split into groups and sent to train. Tyler leads me over to an older man, probably in his late thirties or early forties. “This is Eric. He is the lead trainer and is in charge of creating training plans,” Tyler explains. “Nice to meet you, Luna,” Eric says, bowing his head slightly. “It’s nice to meet you as well,” I respectfully reply. “I came to see Moonfang’s training regimen, and to train with a sparring partner.” “I don’t think you will have any trouble completing the workouts,” Eric replies. “Especially if you perform as well as you did during your welcoming ceremony. Now if you will excuse me, I need to get today’s training started.” Eric walks away from us and towa

I hold my pace steady as I run around the track. Even though I finished my twenty laps, I don’t stop. I keep running, feeling each movement of my muscles. I notice Tyler walk over to the sidelines and sit down. He seems to be done. I can feel him watching me as I run. One by one, the other runners finish their twenty laps. I wait until the last runner is seated before joining the group. “Did you enjoy your run?” Tyler asks. “Yeah. I usually run twice that far, but it was a nice warmup,” I reply. Tyler looks surprised. He opens his mouth to speak, but closes it when the instructor starts talking first. “Your next station is core. Meet your core instructor in the smallest weight room within the next fifteen minutes,” he instructs. Our group gathers together before walking there. It looks like we will be staying with the two groups that joined ours. The smallest weight room is located along the far side of the training facility. In order to get there, we had to

A knock sounds from the study door, drawing my attention as well as Tyler’s. We have been working together more often as I deal with my work remotely rather than commuting to the office. “Come in,” Tyler calls. The door swings open to reveal Cole with a thin stack of papers. “We have a slight issue,” Cole states. “What do you mean?” Tyler asks. “The rogue attacks have been growing more frequent. We don’t know the cause of them, but here are the reports on each attack for you to look over,” Cole explains. “Thank you,” Tyler says, taking the papers from Cole. “Have there been any casualties?” “None as of this time. Our warriors only sustained minor injuries. All attacking rogues were either killed by our warriors or killed themselves in our cells. We haven’t been able to get any of them to talk before they are found dead,” Cole replies. “Alright. Arielle and I will look over everything and make a decision. Thank you for reporting this to us,” Ty

Tyler’s plan is far more complicated than mine. He is going to call our neighboring packs to ask for assistance in fighting the rogues. His goal is to be able to join forces and wipe out all of the rogues in the surrounding area. "Alright. Thank you. See you soon," Tyler says. The phone clacks as he returns it to the receiver. He sighs and rubs his forehead with his hand. "How did it go?" I ask. "Pretty well," Tyler replies. "Five out of the seven packs agreed to meet with us to discuss our plan." "Why did two of the packs refuse?" "The one is at odds with our pack. We have disagreed many times in the past and they are refusing to cooperate once again. The other wants nothing to do with the rogues. Their alpha believes that helping us will increase the attacks against them," he explains. "That's stupid," I comment. "The rogues will probably attack them anyway. Their best bet is to work with us to prepare for that." "I agree, but they made the
