I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I would love to read your comments.
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
Six Months LaterI woke up that morning feeling like I had been hit by a truck. Lena’s fighting skills are on another level. She and I sparred last night because we weren’t sleepy. I have never come so close to having my ass handed to me. Only six months of training, and we are almost equal in fighting strength.I laid in bed and stretched, groaning as I felt every single sore muscle. I reached to the other side of the bed and found my mate was not there. I did, however, smell coffee. Like a lifesaving elixir, I was drawn to it. But, first, I needed a shower and to get dressed.After taking my shower, brushing my teeth and putting on a white tank top and light blue jeans. I put on my Nike trainers and went to the kitchen.I poured a cup of coffee for myself and went to the living room. I walked out the front door and sat on the porch swing, with my coffee in hand, lost in thought.Isaac stepped onto the porch and sat next to me. He put his arm over my shoulders and pulled me close, “Wh
As we finished eating breakfast, I noticed that Lena had a faraway look in her eyes. I nudged my mate and mind linked, “It looks like our daughter is having an oracle moment.” I put a notebook in front of her and a pen in her hand. I asked, “Would you like to write it down?”Lena gripped the pen and touched it to the paper. She started writing, still in a trance-like state. I watched as she continued to fill three pages of paper, then it was all over. She silently read what she wrote and her face became pale. She lowered her gaze and I watched a tear fall from her eyes and land somewhere in her lap.I asked, “What is it, sweetheart?” She shook her head, “Mom, I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you or dad. It has to do with your future and I am not allowed to tell you anything that will change your destiny. I want you both to live a long and happy life with me and my brothers and sisters.” I gaped at her while my mate chuckled, “Are you saying we will adopt more children?” She smiled and nodd
Delphine sneered back at Queen Winnie, “Winnie, I should’ve recognized your work. Nice job controlling my rogues.” Winnie laughed, “That’s child’s play. Move and I will sic the whole lot of them on you.” She smiled, “You know you will not stop me from getting what I want.” Winnie shrugged, “I will do everything in my power to make sure you won’t.”Back in the safe room, Lena and I were watching the events unfold at the gate when the movement on another camera caught my eye. I looked more closely and found that we had more witches approaching from the forest behind my house! I sent a mind link to Kenny, “Kenny! Isaac is at the gate with a dark witch and we have more approaching from the forest behind our house.”Kenny was about to answer when I watched as the witches being levitated and carried to join Delphine on the other side of our gate. Our daughter carried them to the area and lowered them to a reasonable distance off the ground and dropped them roughly. They landed with an “oomp
