The Alpha's Companion Chapter 40: Sparing, Part 2
When she arrived in the practice ring, a few shifters were already there, sparing in their human forms. Watching Car standing off to the side, talking to another shifter, Lacey had mixed emotions about her. Why would Scar stand up for her to Julien? Was it for Lacey's benefit, or for her own? But Lacey figured that the truth would come out eventually. "Yeah, you should have seen me during the attack!" Scar said to the other shifter. "I scared off those Wildclaws! Once they saw my moves, they headed for the hills!"The shifter she was talking to just listened but said nothing, obviously afraid of her. "Oh, yeah?" Lacey said, slipping on her MMA fighting gloves. "During the attack when I was fighting alongside the Alpha, I didn't see you at all.""You probably just didn't see me," Scar interjected.Lacey shook her head, smiling. "I don't think so." When she was ready, she walked into the practice ring, barefoot, and ready to work off some steam. "You mind?" She was asking the shifters
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 41: Negotiation
After Scar left, Lacey spent the rest of the afternoon working with the Pack Warriors on strategy, coordinating them, teaching them to work together. Just before the sun started fading from the sky, Julien came out and stood to the side, watching the warriors practice. After a while, he said, "Lacey, may I have a word?"Lacey looked up and nodded. "Yes, of course." Then she turned to the pack. "Okay. That's enough for today. Let's call it a day, but we'll start again first thing in the morning.""Yes, Alpha Queen." Some headed toward the forest to hunt, while others headed toward the castle. However, there was a camaraderie that wasn't there before."Good practice," Raye said to Lacey, and then nodded. "See you tomorrow." Then he nodded toward Julien. "Alpha."Julien nodded, giving him a slight smile as he passed.When they were alone, Lacey phased and dressed in her workout clothes. Then she zipped up her bag and headed over to Julien. Lacey leaned over and gave him a peck on the lips
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 42: A Traitor in Our Midst
Lacey pushed herself harder through the mountains, needing to run. Then she caught the scent of a herd of elk and slowed. Lacey crouched low, eyeing her prey, but then caught the scent of something else. Something big. "Grrrowwwaaallll!" She knew that sound well... and it was right behind her. Lacey's head snapped up as a low, guttural growl erupted from deep inside her chest. For behind her was a huge, black bear. "Why not?" Lacey thought, knowing she needed to work off some steam. The black bear rose on its hind legs and growled loudly again, staking its claim on the territory. However, when Lacey rose to her feet, revealing her massive size, the bear turned and started to run... but Lacey was faster. In two bounds, Lacey tackled the bear to the ground and sank her teeth into its neck, snapping it at the same time, not wanting to cause the bear any more pain than necessary. She angrily tore off slabs of steaming, hot meat until she had eaten her fill, and then left the rest
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 43: Insinuation
The next morning, Lacey woke early, wanting to get to the practice ring. Raye wanted to meet with her early, so she thought it was best to find out what he wanted.Lacey thought about her conversation with Julien and was glad that he had agreed to train the Pack Warriors. He was the best one for the job and had more experience than everyone else in the pack. And with experience came knowledge and years of strategy. Also, coordinating the warriors to work together as a team would be their best shot at defeating another Wildclaw attack, which was inevitable.The Wildclaws were rogue warriors without a pack. Each of them had been thrown out of their own packs or assimilated from other packs after theirs was decimated, so they formed their own pack. But it was known that they were nomadic and needed property of their own. So, instead of earning the money and building a base legitimately, it was easier to overtake an established one. Over the past several months, they had launched one unsuc
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 44: Training with the Alpha
Julien was nearly to the practice ring as if nothing were amiss and began unpacking his things. Then he walked over and stood beside Lacey in the center of the ring. Scar walked out and stood on the other side of Julien as his Beta."Everyone, gather around," Julien instructed. "Since the attack the other day, the Alpha Queen and I have discussed tactics to better defend the castle and the pack. That said, we have decided that I will take over the training of the more experienced warriors, and the Alpha Queen will take over the training of the young wolves. The Beta will work with you on drills and strategies." He looked around the pack. "Understood?"There was a rumble of agreement. Julien went on to explain how he and Lacey planned to train them, and how they planned to have them work together for the good of the pack. "So, no matter what event is transpiring that day, we will not be caught off guard again." Then he looked over at Lacey. "Alpha Queen, where would you like your men t
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 45: Dinner
Lacey dressed in a floor length blue dress that made her feel like Cinderella going to the ball. It was strapless and fitted in the bodice and flared out at the skirt and sparkled. She left her hair down but put in hot rollers and let it fall into soft waves and curls over her shoulders. Then she slipped on white shimmery shoes and was ready. In a way, it seemed strange to be dressing up like this just for dinner. In the past, she would have thrown on a dress and called it good enough. But here, a certain amount of decorum was expected. As she looked in the mirror, it was as if she was playing dress up... nearly every night. When she walked into the living room, Julien was waiting and got to his feet, dressed in a black suit and white shirt with cufflinks, but left the collar open, opting not to wear a tie. Her wolf growled her approval."You look exquisite." He crossed the room and took her hands, then gave her a chaste kiss on the lips. careful not to muss her lipstick. "You look p
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 46: Threat from the Alpha Wannabe
The next morning Lacey woke early and headed to the gym. Although she worked out with the warriors on the practice field, it was different than working out with weights in a gym, and she hadn't been there since her arrival at the castle. If was below the castle two flights below ground level, just above the dungeon. It was dark when Lacey first walked in, but she groped the wall and found a light switch, then the whole room was illuminated with florescent lights from above in the high ceiling. No one else was there, so she walked around the gym, checking it out, amazed by all the equipment just sitting there, apparently not in use. Lacey planned to change that.She settled on a shoulder weight machine, set the weights, and began her repetitions. "Well, well, well...." Scar sauntered into the room, setting down her workout bag. Then she threw a hand towel over her shoulder. "Look who we have here."Lacey sighed. "Hello, Scar." After the practice, the day before, Lacey thought that Sc
The Alpha's Companion Chapter 47: My Alpha Queen
After Scar left the gym, Lacey was so upset that she couldn't concentrate on working out, and it was time for training now anyway. So, Lacey packed up her things and headed out to the practice ring, just as they were taking the field. Julien looked over at her and a crease formed between his eyes, obviously knowing that she was upset about something. Lacey could see that his superior intuition was one of the reasons why he was Alpha.In an effort to reassure him, Lacey forced a smile as she set down her equipment bag and headed to the center of the practice ring. "Okay young warriors."Scar smirked. "Well, it's about time you got here."Lacey's eyes flared gold. "I was detained... and I don't answer to you."Koi, Willow, and the other young warriors approached. "Ready?""Aye!" they answered in unison and then followed Lacey to the south field along the border. Once they were in position, she said, "Okay, everyone! Let's run some drills!"They had been working out for a while in their
