Kirk sits a few minutes later with the shewolf still hanging off him, they carry on with their idle conversation and try to include me from time to time but I'm really unbothered at this point, I've come to realize quite quickly that people associate with you based on hierarchy, there's hardly a genuine approach, when I first came, despite Red's intervention I wasn't really approached by anyone much but once it came out that I'm the Betas' son, I've been bombarded and people like that just urk me, they're just users.
What's even more annoying right now is the shewolf sitting with Kirk, is eyeing me up when he looks away to take a bite, talk about loose. After lunch I branch off from Kirk and get ready for warrior training, we both are in different training levels, he's in advance as an Alpha's son and I'm at the Mid level because I've just started, it's a good thing I worked out and trained before coming here or I'd of had to start at the beginning, after an aptitude test I was placed here as they figured I'd need preparations for the advance classes but was too ahead for beginners. I get to our training arena and hear my mates talking among themselves " do you think we're gonna survive the rest of the week?" " she's so damn brutal " different conversations seem to have the same topic, just as I approached and was about to ask what was going on, a familiar voice rings through the arena. " ALRIGHT WORMS, FRONT AND CENTER IN TWO STRAIGHT LINES " " Red? " gasps are heard and eyes widen, I look around confused then I'm sent flying, I didn't even sense her approach, I roll and catch myself at the end of the arena " be back here before I count to Two, One! " I was there in a flash, she looked at my mates " class, in this arena, who am I? " they answer in unison " Drill Master Milva! " " better known as? " " the Reaper! " she looks me dead in the eye as though she's never met me in her life before. " Is that understood Rookie? " " yes Drill Master Milva " respond, " fantastic, welcome to the worst week of your school life " at the end of the day we are dragging ourselves on our hands and knees out of the arena and some are even crying, damn Red is brutal! it's like we're in the military or something but Three times worse! and what's worse is the fact that she did the drills right along with us and didn't even break a sweat and not a single one of us were able to land a single blow on her during combat training. " Oh my Gods man, what happened to you?! " Kirk came up to me sprawled off on the front lawn of the school yard with many of my mates laying next to me, Goddess I don't even have the strength to open my eyes or mouth, I hear him snicker " you had the Reaper at training today didn't you? " I simply grunt a response. He takes my arm and pulls me up and takes the full brunt of my weight and made his way back to our dorm room, he fiddles with the keys, opens the door and helps me to the chair, I hear and feel him moving around the room then sense him coming back to me, I'm lifted, I feel my shirt being taken off then my pants, am I about to be molested by this guy? hell frickin no! I try to muster up some strength to punch this bastard " relax bro, I'm taking you to the bath tub, a good soak will help, geez, besides it isn’t like I've never seen your dong before! " the bastard! he laughs out loud and helps me into the tub, thankfully leaving my briefs on. ' Ahhhh Fk! it's freezing! ' " I know, I know it's freezing but it's the best way, you'd soon adjust to the temperature, just work on your breathing and regulate your body heat, I'm heading out a bit I'll check on you when I get back okay? ". Again, all I can muster is a grunt of acknowledgement, I hope this guy isn't using the opportunity to go party, sigh why do I care, it's not like he's gonna be my Alpha. I focus on my breathing and Finn helps me to regulate my heat and soon enough I am perfectly fine, I let myself relax and lay my head back onto the rim of the tub. I never would have guessed that Red was so damn lethal underneath that quiet face and personality, I chuckle to myself, the Reaper huh, tomorrow I'll be ready for you Red. ..... Next Day..... BANG! " Ugh" " come on, how do you expect to fight our enemies if you can't even land a blow on me let alone defeat me!" It's safe to say, my pride is shattered at this point, well beyond repair too. Normally we'd poke fun at each other but in this case we're all getting our ass handed to us, I'm sure I've fractured at least all of my ribs, Goddess, how the hell is so damn strong and fast?!" Alright, we'll do something a little different from today onwards, everyone follow me outside " we follow after her in a single file, some helping others walk along the corridor. We get to the edge of the woods and she hands each of us a blindfold " our training will be out here from today onwards, you've all been into these woods, all of you should by now, know it like the back of your hand, you all know there is a creek in these woods and I want all of you to walk to that creek without taking your blindfold off, you will rely on your sense of smell, hearing and touch, if you get past this hurdle today, tomorrow we move onto something more, all you will have to guide you is the sound of my footsteps and if you're sensitive enough, the sound of my breathing and heartbeat or perhaps even my scent, bare in mind I have no intention of walking there slowly, may the odds be in your favour kids " ' Okay Finn, we got this ' ' of course we do human ' Finn heightens his sense of hearing an
‘Oh not this mate nonsense again’ ‘how is it nonsense? We are meant to find our mates, our other half and mate and mark with them, have pups!’ ‘ pups?! To ruin my figure?’ ‘ it’s only for a short time madam vain, you will snap right back, our bodies are designed that way, Goddess help me’ ‘I guess she’d have to help me too because I truly do not get you Car, we would be Queens! Have all of weredom at our feet! No one will be above us!’ ‘except for the King you mean’ ‘oh pish posh! You know what I mean’ Carmen sighs and I feel her crawl to the back of my mind and tune me out. Her constant nagging for this mate is really overbearing, I have come to terms with the fact that I do not have a mate out there, much like Tyler, but if the day ever comes that I do meet my mate, will I have the heart to reject him, that I do not know. Knock knock knock “Come in” “good morning Ms. Astrid, Mr. Noah has asked that you join him for breakfast today and to get ready to head out for some shopping”
Luna Queen Astrid Jameson, has such a nice ring to it! I take one of my shopping bags to the house as the guards carry the others, they file into my bedroom one by one placing the bags they carry by my bed so I can go through and sort them out. I start feeling very light headed, ' oh Gods not right now! ' I stagger over to the bed and plop down before I pass out. * DARKNESS SURROUNDS ME, I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T BREATHE! I'M LOOKING AROUND BUT I SEE NOTHING, WHAT IS THIS PLACE? I SWIRL AROUND WHEN I HEAR SCREAMS AND SHOUTING COMING FROM A DISTANCE, I TURN AND RUN TOWARDS THE SOUNDS, I DON'T CALL OUT BECAUSE NATURALLY I DON'T WANT TO GIVE MY POSITION AWAY IF THERE IS DANGER, AND FIGHTING IS NOT EXACTLY MY STRONG SUIT... " RUNNNN!" I SEE WOMEN, CHILDREN AND ELDERLY PEOPLE RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES " IT'S COMING! THE DARKNESS! IT'S COMING! DON'T LET IT GET YOU! IT WILL CONSUME YOU AND TAKE YOUR SOUL! " THEY RAN PAST ME AND I'M ROOTED ON SPOT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON, I CAN FEEL
I walk absentmindedly over to the balcony and sit just staring mindlessly out at the city, I close my eyes and just take in deep breaths then release, I keep repeating until I feel like I’ve rid myself of all the darkness and heat that I had seen in my vision, I look down at my pale smooth skin and sigh. “What’s the matter?” I jump and gasp “gosh Noah, you almost gave me a heart attack” “since when are you so jumpy, I didn’t exactly sneak up on you, I walked over like I normally do, didn’t you scent me or hear me approach?” “ no, sorry my mind was far away, I was doing some breathing exercises” “something new hmm” “you know me, always keeping up with the new trends, how come you’re back so early?” He raised a surprised eyebrow at me “Ash, it’s almost 17:35, are you sure you’re not sick or something, should I call the doctor?” “wow, my nap lasted a lot longer than I thought, sorry I didn’t check the time when I got up, the nap felt so short” I laughed awkwardly, technically I wasn’t
She’s always been fascinated with being in my room and has often tried but I can’t risk her finding my dimension cross over door. I’ve set the entryway, so my appearance would change once I step through from either side of the door, my true self is revealed when I step through from the outer world and I return to the form they know when I step out from my dimension into my bedroom. I step through and close the door behind me, give myself a one over before going to find Astrid, even though I no longer have a wolf I still have my sense of smell, hearing and sight like they all do, I sense that she’s still on the balcony and as I approach, can tell from her breathing and heart rate that she’s asleep. A horrible thought strikes me in that moment as I’m standing and looking down at her asleep peacefully on the balcony chair, could she be pregnant? Did I get her pregnant? Could that be the reason she’s sleeping so much today, early signs of pregnancy? I can not have a child with someone
I get to my room to meet Dayja lounging on my bed, I haven't had her in quite some time seeing as I spend most of my time with Astrid, she's surprised to see me and rushes to her feet when I close the door behind me " My Lord, I did not realize you'd be back so early this time around " " is this a normal thing for you to do Dayja, be in my room lounging around when I'm not here? " she bows " I am sorry sire, it has just been so long since we've shared a bed that doing this made me feel close to you " I stare her up and down, she's quite voluptuous and considering she's a Jabless, she's most certainly beautiful, they are designed to lure men to their end with their beauty but naturally that charm would not work on me. " Strip " she quickly and happily obliges without saying a word, large round perky breasts bounce around as she drops the dress down to her ankles and steps out of it, she's wearing absolutely nothing under it, how tantalizing, I step closer to her and grab her by the th
Roho I am so damn tired, I have no idea how long I have to do this training class for but this is most certainly not it for me, hanging with a bunch of kids, sheesh but anyway it's cool to see how well Beau has adapted to our way of life and made friends here so there's that. Alpha Teegan really seems to have it in for me, there are so many other warriors that can do the training but somehow when casting lots I always seem to get the short stick ( -_- ) Beau was the first to find his way to me through the forest on our last session, apart from him only Four others made it to me while the other Thirteen did not so those Five are in the training centre doing the drills I left them to do and the Thirteen is here with me redoing it, today is their third day if you can believe it. This rock has seen my ass in three days more than my bed has in a week, sigh I look up when I sense a few presence close by, I guess they made it after all , third time the charm. No, this isn't right the pres
Lord Umi "Sire! you're needed urgently back at the palace" I rise immediately because I know for me to be asked back has to be something major happened whether good or bad I need to know. " Hey, where you off to?" Right Astrid " I've got some urgent business to take care of, I'll see you later. I don't have time for explanations right now, I brush by her and head out, I know I have to use the gateway at my office because if I go into my room she will only pester me. We arrive at the office building and ride the elevator to the top floor were my office and other domain door is, everyone on this floor belong to me so I have no need for formality or greetings when I come and go here, they all seem to be tensed for some reason though. My office door swings open with a bang and I waste no time heading straight to the domain door and stepping through, my commander is waiting a few feet away for me and rushes to me when he sees me " sire, thank Hades you've arrived! we have a problem, le
" Impossible " Tabitha muttered to herself before looking at the others " you know what it is don't you Tabi? " " come Sala there is something I must show you " " NO TABITHA! YOU CAN'T! " " silence! if this is truly as she says then we must show her! "" We barely managed to escape the last time they were here Tabitha! let us not be involved at all this time around, it is too dangerous! " "we scurried away like dogs with our tails between our legs last time, this time if this is really so we will at least guide them the right way through my Sala " Tabitha turns away from the scared looking bunch and looks at me "follow me child" she leads me through her house and out the back by a large Dark Oar Willa Tree, I look up into the tree as lights dancing and darting through the tree " what are those lights Tabi? " " she can see them? " " I told you my Sala is special, they are Whisps my child, they protect the tree and what lays beneath it."She says a chant while placing her hand on the
RohoI finally arrive to Tabithas after riding for about Two and a half hours, it would have been much longer had I driven, I get off my bad boy and stretch before walking over to her enchantment illusion while pushing the bike over, no way I'm gonna leave my baby out in the open like this, who thell knows who'd pass by when I'm not paying attention and steal him.I take a breath before pushing through the illusion, had I been anyone else I would have walked right on by and not realize there is a massive cottage situated right here, I shiver after I pass through the barrier ugh I hate the feeling, I stop as I feel more than one pair of eyes on me and look around suddenly very alert." It's okay my love, no one here will harm you, come on in the house " I hear Tabi's voice as she comes down from the porch of her cottage, I pull my bike stand down and lean it up and walk over to her, she smiles warmly and extends her hands for a hug and I lean in and hug her, she squeezes me and inhales
I fully well understand their reactions but it's better to be prepared than to be blind sided. That is how you lose " the wolf is at the City, he asked to return to his home but I can not allow it because he may very well be in danger if I allow to return, as they recapture him or kill him thinking he may have told us something he shouldn't have which he has not as he recalls nothing " " How do you know he's being truthful my King " a rumble of a chuckle bubbles up on my chest and Hunter pushes forward just a bit " because no one can fool the Lycan King " the Alpha shrinks back " I meant no disrespect Lycan King, I am merely skeptical about this person who claims to have no memories of breaching the Royal City "Hunter cocks our head to the side and observe him " how many pups do you have Alpha Noel " " I have yet to produce pups my King " he answers without missing a beat, we smile and tap our fingers on the table and he shifts uncomfortably in his seat " is that so? well then best
One by one the Alpha's and their travel companions fle into the room, I'm seated at the head of the table with my head guard at my left and the seat to my right is vacant for Alpha Teejan. As they enter they all greet me and bow to show their respect and submission to me." Okay my King, this is everyone who will be attending today's meeting " soon after the door is pulled open once more and the kitchen staff make their way inside with Eight food trolleys filled with refreshments and light finger foods " thank you ladies, now please ensure no one else disturbs us from this point on please " " yes my King " they bow and leave.I mind link Two of my guards and tell them to stand guard outside the meeting room door and also the front and rear door of the pack house. Not that I am expecting anything but I always like to ensure all bases are covered.I stand commanding all the attention in the room " gentlemen, thank you all for taking the time to attend this impromptu meet today and I mus
I jumped out from behind the brushes just ahead of the woman and she freezes, her eyes widen and she stumbles back and trips, it was then I saw it, her long flowing dress inched up and she has one human leg and one hoof, she scampers to get up and run but Trevor is at her back, her breathing quickens and so does her heart beat, the Two warriors are standing in place, not blinking, not moving just there.Her eyes turn bloody Red, no sign of pupils or white in her eyes and she let's out a scream so loud I swear we are going to be deaf.I step back covering my ears and Trevor does the same, by the time the sound dies down, she's gone, it was only then it really dawned on me that the area is now more lit and you can hear the crickets and cicada’s, it was nothing but silence before *thud, thud* both warriors fall to the ground unconscious.We access them to ensure they are unharmed and once we've verified that they are both men shift and I lay one on each of their backs and I shift too, we
I can finally have a shower and get some much needed sleep, tomorrow is going to be another long day.I shower and get to bed and when I tell you as soon as my head hit the pillow I was gone! By instinct my body naturally wakes up at 5:00 AM, but I just lay in bed for another Twenty minutes because I have no royal duties to tend to just yet so I can afford to lounge for a bit.I slide out of bed and check my phone, it's now 5:35 AM I stretch and head to the bathroom to relieve myself and brush my teeth, I think I'll go for a quick run before the pack rises then shower before the other Alphas get here for the meeting, I haul on a vest and running pants as well as my slippers and make my way down the stairs, this descend will be my cardio warm up before my run.I have a fairly good idea of the grounds from yesterday so I'm certain I won't get lost, I was just out the front door when I see the Alpha and Beta brothers just about the enter the woods, my Lycan hearing allowed me to eavesdro
" Uhm well my King " he blushes and rubs the back of his head " I presume this has something to do with that mate of yours hmm " " yes my King " " has she accepted you? " " well, I guess I can say yes, or more so her wolf has but long story short she does not want to leave her pack here and move to the Royal City " " and you don't want to return to the City without her I take " he bows " yes my King that is correct, please don't see me as an abandoner but if I could just have some time so she could get to know and trust me then perhaps I could convince her to come with me to the City "" It really would be a shame to lose such an exemplary Royal Guard Grey but to me a mate bond is very important and I don't see it as you abandoning us, besides this works out just fine in regards to something I have planned for the packs, we will talk about it further tomorrow okay? be at the packhouse for mmm let's say 09:30 AM and we'd do a briefing and tell the others to be here as well "" Yes my K
Once they were all done, the King stood up and thanked them for their time, we were about to leave when Evo called out to me " ah Alpha Teejan " " yes Evo " " Ivo wants to know, where Red is, he'd like to say thank you but Red never came to visit which is pretty unusual "" Ahh yes sorry, you know Red would've been the first in and last out huh, I sent Red out on a solo mission sorry to say but it couldn't wait "" Okay, we understand we will see Red after then, thank you Alpha " they all bow again as we turn to leave.We walk out of the hospital in silence, once we're outside the King comes closer to me " may I ask what was Red's mission that had to be done so soon after an incident like that " " I do apologies my King, if I had known before you were coming I would not have sent Red straight away, it wasn't until after Red left I got word that you were on the way to the pack "" I see, well if that's what happened then I suppose it can't be helped " Alpha King TylerHmm, I do find i
I meet them on their way to the second site which is where the creatures escaped, I quite honestly feel some type of way that we had them, well one of them in our grasp and let them get away but what comforts me is knowing that even though that happened we were able to save the warrior, his human form has only a small scar on his face which I know would've been much worse had Roro not been there, he most likely would've been disfigured or worse, dead." Ah, Alpha Teejan, you made it " " sorry for the delay Alpha Tyler " " hmm it's no problem, I'd like to speak to the warriors after we finish inspection on the border, I was also telling your Beta that you should think about cutting a few trees around the territory, if it is a case of the creatures really are hiding from the sun then that could be helpful "" Well as much as I appreciate that advise sir, but I don't really that would be a good thing to do because it would then expose our borders not only to other packs and rogues but al
