I hope you liked this chapter. I would love to read your comments.
When everyone calmed down, we agreed to come up with a plan to capture Anthony Reynolds alive. We have too many high-ranking men who want to see him suffer as he dies slowly and painfully.We also agreed to keep Lena guarded. She will not be left alone for even a minute. At night, she will have a warrior posted below her bedroom window. That warrior will not be allowed to move unless he has someone to take his place for a break.We agreed that we would leave it up to her if she feels safe going to school until Anthony is put in our cells and/or dead. If she chooses to stay home, then she can either come to work with me and Wendy can work on her homework on my couch, or she can stay home with Wendy and four other warriors in and around the house. She can do her homework at home.Isaac and I wanted to make sure she knows that she is not on lockdown. The warriors are not there as guards to keep her locked up. They are her bodyguards to keep her safe. If she wants to come to the pack house
I heard a man groan loudly and Wendy walked out of the closet, “The threat has been neutralized.” She placed her weapon on the dresser and walked back into the closet. When she emerged from the closet, she was dragging a screaming Anthony Reynolds, with a gunshot to his thigh, behind her and I heard a loud series of growls behind me.Apparently, I had been followed by Isaac and the rest of our guards. Isaac growled, “How did you find that door?” Anthony answered, “It’s not like it was very well concealed.” I walked to him and placed pressure onto his wound with my foot, “Who told you about that door?”Anthony growled in pain, “You fucking bitch!” I stomped hard on his leg, hearing bone break, “Tell the TRUTH!” He growled, “I knew your grandfather. He had me install the door before you came here from the hospital.” I shook my head, “It’s too bad that’s the last time you will remember it’s there.” I turned him to the warriors, “Take him to the cells.”I hurried to Lena and wrapped my arm
I woke the next morning to the sight of my mate’s nose gently rubbing against mine, “Good morning, my luna.” I chuckled, “Good morning, my alpha. What time is it?” He smiled, “It’s four a.m. Would you like to hit the gym for a while before our daughter wakes up?” I smiled, “I would love that.”I got out of bed, changed into a sports bra and leggings, then we walked hand-in-hand to our home gym. As we started our stretches, I asked, “So, what made you think of working out this morning?” He smiled, “I received a visit from the Goddess last night. She told me that you will be training Lena. I thought it would be a good idea for us to practice together and get back into our former routine.”I nodded, “I agree. I think that would be a really good idea.” He suggested, “Maybe we should think about going back to evening sparring practice too.” I consented, “I think Lena would love to practice sparring as a family. I would like to start our runs again, but I don’t want to risk Lena’s safety unt
Our daughter jumped in excitement and I asked, “Are you done eating breakfast?” She cringed, “Oops.” She sat down, “I can’t let this go to waste. It’s my favorite.” I smiled, “Plus, you will need the carbs and protein for your morning workout. We will practice sparring as a family in the evenings.”Lena smiled widely as she nodded, “That sounds like so much fun.” I added, “We’ll do strength and cardio training in the mornings. Okay?” She smiled, “I want to do that. I will never be weak again.” I smirked, “You tell them, sis!”After eating, Isaac went to the pack house to do some paperwork while I stayed to help Lena with her morning training. I spent time with her, coaching her on running, the weights, the dumbbells, the treadmill, the sit-up bench and the pull-up bar. By the time we were done, she was ready for a shower, but she looked more self-confident and happier.I asked, “What do think about this morning workout idea?” She fidgeted her feet, bouncing slightly, “It gives me more
Lena immediately looked at me with her eyes wide and her hand covering her mouth, “Sorry Gamma Alex!” Winnie and I looked at each other with amused expressions and started laughing wildly. I laughed, “Sweetie, that was awesome! Trust me, Alex can handle it.” I couldn’t stop laughing to save my life and neither could Queen Winnie.Alex approached us, “Well, is it safe to say you have found out what her current ability is?” We all started laughing all over again. I stopped, wiping a tear from my eyes, “Oh my Goddess. That was so funny. Yes. Her current ability is levitation.” Alex added, “And judging from what happened when I walked in, the objects she levitates have the potential to become projectiles.”We all started laughing and nodding. Alex just shook his head and grabbed a doughnut from the tray and went to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. I added, “I think we should take this somewhere else, but I don’t want her practicing where anyone can see her. I do not want the dark witches t
That evening, we were immediately tackled to the couch by our daughter, “Can we spar now? Please?” Isaac laughed, “That depends. What have you learned today?” She smiled proudly, stood up and raised her outstretched arms from her sides. Isaac and I immediately started floating into the air.I started chuckling while Isaac’s brows raised to his hairline, “Well, I would say you’ve come a long way today. We can definitely spar after we get changed.” She stepped back from us and squealed at an octave that had our wolves howling. Alex walked into the living room with his fingers in his ears, “Damn, where did that noise come from?”Lena cringed, “Sorry. I’m just excited to be able to spar tonight.” Alex laughed, “I’ll get dad over here. He can help us train.” I smiled, “That would be perfect.” I turned to Lena, “Alex’s dad was the one who trained all of us. He also trained me on techniques that the pack doesn’t know.” She gasped, “Do you think he’ll help me with that too?”Axel walked into t
It has been a rough week. Lena’s mother was buried the following day and Isaac and I spent the day with our daughter, expecting to comfort her. Instead, Lena decided to spend the day with us, celebrating her mother’s life by telling us stories of how funny her mother could be and how loving she was.Isaac and I were so happy to see how she chose not to mourn her mother’s death, but to celebrate her life in such a thoughtful way. It showed us that Lena was a lot like me. She was very mature for her age, just like I was. I just really hoped that didn’t mean she lost her childhood.The next day, we spoke with Winnie about the protection spells on Lena and her wolf. Winnie replied, “I was able to see her wolf when I met Lena. Her name is Opal. Opal was her mother’s wolf. Opal left her mother years ago because of Anthony, and that was what he wanted.“Opal knows what is to come and she said Selene gave her more abilities that she will need time to practice. Lena will shift for the first tim
Chapter 72The next day, Isaac and I went to the pack house early and let Lena sleep. We had been out late the night before and Lena was wired for sound with excitement when we got home. Wendy informed us that she didn’t go to sleep until four a.m. I laughed, “I did the same thing. The first shift and run in wolf form is a real adrenaline rush. She will probably sleep most of the day.”When I got to my office, Kyra knocked on the door and I invited her in. She stepped in and smiled, “I have a surprise for you.” I smiled, “I would love a surprise.” Kyra reached out her door and guided someone into my office. When Kyra stood aside, I gasped, “Elena! Oh. My. Goddess! You look beautiful!”Elena laughed as I suggested, “Please, have a seat on the couch. Would you like some coffee or tea?” Elena smiled, “I’ll take a coffee.” Kyra answered, “Same here.” I smiled, “Three coffees it is.” I filled three cups of coffee and put cream and sugar on the coffee table in front of the couch.I asked, “A
