AZALEA'S POV"So you're in this position," His slow whispers tickling the hairs on my neck and ear. I nod, focusing on my breathing instead of the way my stomach plummet or the way my heart raced or the way a million sparks and goosebumps covers my skin each time he touches me. I wonder if becoming stronger is as easy as he said with my current distracted state. I shake out of my own thoughts and focus on the training at hand. Its just the two of us once again in the dark training ground. "My right arm around your neck and possibly a weapon to your head, what you do is you to take this your left arm and will angle out your elbow and make a fist then you take your right hand over that fist to make a really strong powerful jab to the side of the person.""Yeah I got it. So I do this?." I ask."When your opponent is monetarily disarmed, you grab his right arm that was around your neck and twist it all the way to his back." He said demonstrating slowly, till my right arm was touching my
HENRY'S POVI spent the better part of the night planning a new defense formation against the Rogue attack and the Black Lotus packs. It was difficult dealing with such inexperienced group of fighters unlike my seasoned soldiers, but it had to be done.And I am sure I have made it abundantly clear multiple times that everyone had a responsibility to keep themselves alive. I can not be every body's savior even if I wanted to.I sigh to myself again, recounting the night's troubles. Failing to detect the Rogue in time was definitely a problem, one I took full responsibility for. After all I was the alpha, but it made me question many things I thought I knew.I decided to forget sleep and do another lap round the entire camp to look for clues. I made my way back to the camp fire where Lexa had been attacked and sat for a while, beckoning on the help of my ancestors to at least find an answer or I would run mad.I was so close to giving up when I caught the whiff of something, - it was ver
AZALEA'S POV"Welcome Survivors!. " Alpha Henry's stern voice fills the air immediately I arrive, startling the sleep out of me. We all scurry into lines to listen as he takes his position on the huge rock."Today will be our last day in this camp as we advance once more, the mountains will only get steeper from here, and the night colder. I don't know what stories you've heard about the north before now, but take that and double it."People began to murmur."So no more slacking, this is war, you need to prepared, most of your training till now has been in human." he takes a dramatic pause, letting the tension build."As you know Black Lotus does not fight in human form, that means we will soon begin training with your wolves.""So why have we been doing all these stupid ass training if we are fighting as wolves?." Reid shouts from the crowd and others begin to whisper in agreement."I'm glad you asked." Alpha Henry jumps down from his rock and walks to Reid, the whole training ground
HENRY'S POVI got off the transmitter with Eli back home telling him our plans and resume my tinkering. While the counsel of elders think my years in the human world have clouded my judgement, I managed to get a degree in Robotics and Machine learning which has been a huge blessing these past years.Back then I didn't know what I needed it for but it was the most exciting thing I could find to fill time when I returned to pack life and began crafting other measures for safety.Only Eli, Cedric and Ryder know about this, but I have been experimenting building a stronger electromagnetic field around the park land and perimeters able to not just prevent entry, but launch attacks on its own. The problem with this is the vast area of the alliance packs. We would have to build several grids in ten different areas.Our pack is wealthy, but the type of money needed is huge. Pack life thrives in the wild, concealed in deep dark unspoiled forests, building these magnetic grids might also jeopard
AZALEA'S POVThe whole camp were whispering around me as I walked. I hated being the center of attraction like this, but its what it had come to. I didn't really care, I cared that I had impressed Alpha Henry who thought I was weak. But the consequence that comes with impressing him. Sigh."Just the woman I was looking for." Ryder announces with a rather loud voice as he walked up to me and Justin."Looking for?." I ask."Yes, you made quite a spectacle today, I wanted to personally congratulate you." He says with a laugh. Justin join in on the laugh."She is always making a spectacle, she's a total badass." Justin chimes and I send him a frown."I knew I liked you for a reason, miss gold." He says. I see why Alpha Henry trusts Ryder so much, he is the only one who has seen my wolf and has never mentioned it, I used to be worried that he would. He was also the second person to notice how new I was to my wolf.The first being my mate."I have never seen anyone get that close to Alpha He
HENRY'S POV"Ryder might be on to something." Cedric says to me as soon as we leave the training grounds."About?." I ask with a scoff. Ryder might be a great fighter and wing man, but he is not exactly known for bright ideas."Azalea."I turn to him confused. "What about, Azalea?." I ask, pausing on her name. It sounds a bit odd as I say it out. I am used to other nick names for her. He looks around for a while before pulling me into the tent, "Your highness, you can keep using yourself as the test subject." He whispers.I fold my arms, staring at him, hoping he'd just get to the point."I am too old, Ryder reacted to the last prototype as well, his wolf is too wild.""Get to the fucking point Ced." I urge, scratching my eyebrow."Azalea is…….different, like you, I can feel it. She is also the only person in camp with the weakest wolf." He reasons. My stomach churns at the thought. I knew where he was headed, but I didn't like it.Her wolf isn't weak, she is just not active yet, for
AZALEA'S POVLike most times when he speaks, his words keep repeating itself in my head."….voluntarily gets taken."More questions grow on my mind as much as I thought it over, but I had been too dazed earlier to form any of those questions to him.Conspiracy theories began swirling in my head as I lay still. On one hand is the implanting the chip, on another is getting captured. It didn't seem right. I don't want to think of the possibility that this might have been his plan all along, attack our pack, kill our Alpha and Beta force us into soldiers for him with the chip in the pretense of ending Black Lotus. And we all foolishly think that he's some kind of savior. I can't remember when or how I fall asleep, but I wake like a clock work the next morning for training. During training I make sure I stay far away from Alpha Henry as possible. But his glares and frowns almost getting deadlier as we begin.There are many things I'm scared of, Black Lotus attacking once more. If Alpha He
AZALEA'S POV"Why me?." I ask him. His eyes linger on my face for a second too long before he gives me a reply."Because your wolf is less present." He says. I nod.'He means weak' "You mean weak." I hiss."No, flower, You are not weak, but your wolf, she's far, so the chip would be safe from her strength." He tries to explain.It made a little sense, but I still couldn't bring myself to say yes right away."Is it dangerous?." I ask and he lets out a laugh."Danger is inevitable, this is war.""Still….." I would not be doing anything that would further endanger myself, Lexa and Justin needed me."It has, risks. And I know, your siblings come first, but this can change the entire course of the war.""I'm sorry, I -."I didn't know who or what to trust at the moment even if I wanted to end Black Lotus. I knew so little about this device that would be implanted in my body, I knew even more little about the man who was suggesting it to me.I watch as his eyes mist over for a small second
AZALEA'S POVI still dread these new found abilities, but Alpha Henry seems rather happy about it. Maybe because it made us similar in a way or because he always wanted to teach someone things he had learnt with his abilities, but until now it was not heard of.Even after so much practice, the only thing I am capable of is blooming flowers. That doesn't seem like a very useful ability unless Black Lotus were deathly allergic. He says he can see my powers swirl around me every time we try, that if I just concentrate more I would be able to unlock other parts of my abilities.What if the 'other parts' of my abilities are not as extra ordinary or are too dangerous?. We spent a few more minutes before having to return to camp separately."Where have you been?." Lexi asks me immediately I reach the clearing."Isn't it obvious, she smells like him." Justin replies looking over to Alpha Henry whose attention was on us, definitely not in the words Cedric was speaking, Lexi rolls her eyes and
HENRY'S POVWe charge at each other, unleashing power aiming for each other's throats. I deliver the first blow to his side, peeling off a good chunk of his skin. He counters my attack however with a slash to my face, digging through my eyes.Without a second I recover, sending him to a near by tree. He comes at me again with full force, we tussle over reach other, biting and scratching at every turn. I make sure to target his neck multiple times.While I am a larger wolf in this fight, he has years of skill and training older than myself under his belt as well as the odds in his favor.'What’s wrong fire boy?.' He chimes prancing around me as I struggle to regain my footing. The earth is spinning under my paws. I can feel consciousness seep out of me.'Is that all you've got?.'Anger bubbles through me again as I let out a growl. He is baiting me to use my abilities knowing fully well that it would do more harm to the survivors of Blue Ivy than more harm to himself and his army. I sha
HENRY'S POVThe sun began to set and the entire camp gathered for what would be the last time in the deep of the forest. Eli confirmed the vehicles waiting at the other end of the forest to take us into Red Fire territory.As they all gathered, I let out a breath counting relieved that no one died and no one was missing.Yet I could not rejoice, because I knew at the back of my mind that, I had known all along, the feeling of dread that I could not shake since I arrived in Blue Ivy. Some thing would go terribly wrong.We split off into teams as usual, the children with the adults and a trained survivor in their group. This part of the journey was to be done in wolf. It is a tricky situation.Since the death of their Alpha, their link has been broken, and since the current situation didn't exactly favor a pack run, their bond as a pack has deeply weakened. It would be very difficult to keep everyone on track when they shift into wolf form.It would be hard to keep their wolves from goin
HENRY'S POV"When did you first start to, like me?." She ask, her chin pressing against my chest. Fuck this 20 questions game.I pause to think about it and fall short, she stormed my life and sucked me in.Till a few days ago I was convinced that I did not. So the question should be, when I realized that I like her."Hmn, I don't know."She pulled away from me slightly, as if offended, and my mind tells me she has a rather detailed recount of how and how she started to like me."Hold on, let me think about this." I laugh almost nervously. "Okay, I think I liked you the entire time." Now that I think about it, there was not a time where I didn't see Azalea, but I disguised my feelings as something else.Her smile falls."The very first-second time I met you, you were already cemented in my mind. I refused to believe I liked you, I told myself she's like 18, she's too young. I am not a pedophile or a groomer." I raise my shoulders."But you were everywhere, when I'm awake you there, du
HENRY'S POVThe next morning, bright and early we start out on what would be the very last lap of our hike to Red Fire.After the disturbing news that Ryder gave me last night, I want to get out of this forest as soon as possible.I look around for Azalea as the trainees file out for training, our eyes meet for a brief second before she looks away quickly."Two teams!." I call out and they split."I will join Ryder's team." I hear her say to her friend Casper. That was the closest I was to her all morning. It felt like she was intentionally trying to avoid me.After training drills are over, while the rest of the trainees start gobbling down water and stale bread, I grab a bottle of water to her, letting my hands linger as she took it. I will never get over the sparks."Thanks." She whispers, turning away."You'd sleep okay?."Her eyes dart to me. "Some one might hear!." She hush."I don't care." I reach out to touch her but she flinch away, stepping backwards to the rest of the group
HENRY'S POVShe grinds into me as her arousal hits my nose in a sweet aroma. My teeth began to itch, as my wolf starts to push forward.I pull away from her unwillingly, she flashes me one of her rare smiles breathing heavily."I think its best we pause here." I whisper, unable to control my wolf's urges to mark her. Her lips were swollen and red from my kisses. I place another peck on them as if sealing my fate. There is no going back now.I finally let go of her legs and feeling how wet her pussy is for me. Oh Goddess help me to stay away. "Or I don't think I will be able to stop myself from taking you here and now."Her green eyes stare into mine as if telling me she wanted me just as badly, but I know better. She is not one of those girls I fuck for the sake of a release. I am willing to wait till she is ready, as long as that takes.Shit, I've got it bad.Also because I want to be sure of what I feel for her, to be sure spending this much time in the forest is not messing with my
AZALEA'S POV"You were supposed to be mated to my sister, and I am 19, we have this huge age gap……" I list off. There are a thousand reasons why this is going to end with me getting hurt."Tha, that is a different story." He stops me, frowning. "A long one, but since we are on the matter." He gestures for me to sit on the tall rock that looked like a chair."I don't know if it was your sister, but I did end up finding my mate that night of the attack." He starts slowly. My heart plummets then I remember that I was with Eloise till she died, I doubt if the mate he found was her.I was about to ask when he continues with his story. "She was the most eccentric wolf I have ever seen, large and proud, definitely an alpha, but something was off about her." He turned to face the spring as the mist hovered over the clear green water."Because the next minute she rejected the bond and walked away."My mouth snaps shut. "It was in the woods, behind the, um, council house or what do you call it?.
AZALEA'S POVThe next day after another brutal round of training, alpha Henry drops the bomb shell that it would be out last day in camp as we will finally be leaving the forest to the rendezvous point of Red Fire. Vehicles are waiting to take us into the pack.We could all feel the tension rise. Before now, to many of us, Red Fire seemed like a myth but as it drew closer, conspiracies flew at what we would find.I didn't know what to feel, scared or excited. My life had changed so much in the last two weeks, things I used to think would never happened have and others I didn't want to did. I certainly did not anticipate whatever is between Alpha Henry and I.I tried my best to avoid his stares through the training."Yay! We are a few hours away from becoming slaves." Lexa sighs."Are you scared of what might happen when we get there?." I ask her. She nods."Aren't we all?.""I know this whole thing has been hard, but I think Red Fire might not be so bad after all." I say slowly."At l
HENRY'S POVI pause, forgetting once again that it is entirely new to her. "Yes, that's what powers like these are called.""You can manipulate or rather control an element with your energy." I explain standing up. I pull her to her feet as well. Hoping that she can try to not kill another survivor when next they have to fight."Control is all in the mind, if you are happy, sad or angry or any extreme emotion, a surge of energy is released in form of the power to command the element. In my case, fire." I say sharply as the tree behind us catches fire for a second and stops."Are you happy, sad or angry now?." She ask watching me. I shake my head."Once you get a hang of it, or have had it as long as I have, you'll be able to control how much energy is needed to activate it or how much your emotions influence the release of energy."That was a mouthful, but I think she understood."Emotion releases energy, Got it." She nods. "And I know I have been saying this since I met you, but you
