3 - Training

This is all I know and I have to do this for my father. He is everything to our pack. This is what he wants. He only has three years left. If I can't lift the curse, our pack will be extinct.

Either by Alpha Sioux after three years or by the curse it is as a loss situation.

They have all placed their trust in me for their survival. I have to carry a huge responsibility as a result of this, but it's a huge burden on me. However, I am not going to do this for anything. I am doing this for my father. My father is trying for the Black shadow pack.

All this aside. All I want from my mate is love, care, sweet things, romance, good looks, a kind heart, responsibility, a trustworthy person to be with, and peace. However, it is the exact opposite of what Alpha Sioux is except he is good looking.

The whole thing is possible only if I can meet the Alpha when I cross their territory.

My father is going to train me for some extra effort on what I should do and what not. In any case, I will have some time to flee if I cannot meet the Alpha Sioux.

After the ritual, we all headed to bed, and having all these thoughts was enough to keep me awake while experiencing horrible nightmares.

I woke up in the morning, had breakfast, and then headed for training. My father is training me to how to defend myself and not how to attack when I ask him " Father why are you training me to defend only but not to attack?"

Then he smiled and said, "Allie, this is my strategy against them so if you can't meet the Alpha Sioux, you can flee."

"But I thought you thought I was weak." I replied.

"No darling you are not weak if you train properly you can defeat me." he proudly told me.

I smiled.

In addition, he said, "I don't want my daughter to return to me like she is half dead. I want you as like how you will go dear. Don't burden yourself. I will teach you everything until my last breath.

"Please don't talk like this father, I love you." I said sadly

"I love you too my sweetheart and now concentrate." he said

I trained every day so that when the time comes, I will be prepared for everything.

One day I saw Gamma Richard talking to my father about the school that they are developing. It's under construction. He informed him about this.

When he saw me he was a little distracted and I stopped for a moment. We both remember that encounter when he was kissing Aunt Lisa. Later that night, my father saw me and asked me to join him in discussing the updates. It was very awkward at the time.

Once, Richard also cornered me to have a word with me. He said, "It was mutual what you saw with Lisa. Please don't tell anyone about this because I am not sure about this."

I thought and said "okay."

I need to discuss this with my aunt and see what she thinks of it.

Gamma Richard comes to protect us and fulfill his duties, not to poke his tongue in my aunt's mouth. It's wrong if he is not serious about this. Even though he hasn't found his mate yet, I think something is going to happen between the two of them.

It's my mother's turn to teach me. I trained with my father in the morning and evening and with Mother in the afternoon.

My mother is teaching me some spells that will help me to survive also telling me all the things about the mate bond. How to resist, how to deal with the feelings that we can't deny, how we crave our mate's touch and just for a look.

My mother also told me how I would know that it is him, that he is my mate.

The first sign will be your senses. Your wolf will know your mate is nearby. You will smell a strange scent you haven't smelled before. Your mouth will water, and you will feel electric currents throughout your body once you set your eyes on your Mate. If you feel all this, understand that person is your Mate."

"Oh mother, is this really happening?" I asked

" Yes my dear this is all true and your mate will also feel the same thing." she continued " Don't give yourself up so quickly dear you know he should truly give his heart to you, he shouldn't have any second thoughts then only and only then will our curse be left."

"It is only my all efforts mother." I asked

"Yes, your efforts and our magic together will lift the curse," she said.

My mother is the Elder Queen's daughter and knows almost everything the Elder Queen knows, but has limited power after she was changed by my father.

She is now a werewolf with limited power, and I am totally unaware of all this, which is why they have been telling me this in detail now.

My grandmother the Elder Queen predicted that this would be the end of our suffering.

And I hope I will bring the happiness they deserve.
