The adult class may have went rather well but the kid's class is another story. Their attention span is much shorter and they seem to not want to listen in general. As I sit there and try to get everyone to pay attention again I let out a frustrated groan.
"Luna, if I may, maybe they are all just too full of energy after being at school all day." Kevin suggests.
"They might by. What should we do about it though?" I ask him.
Instead of addressing me, he turns to the kids and barks at them, "Hey! Two laps around the building. When you get back I expect you to be listening and at attention."
"I guess that works." I say as they all start running out of the building. A few lag behind but the general consensus is them all running with an abundance of energy.
As they run their laps, I decide that I might as well do some warming up as well. I did not have to do much while the adults were here but I have a feeling that with these kids I will need to take a
After about 2 weeks of classes everybody is improving quite nicely. They seem to be getting more energy to get through the classes and gain confidence in their moves. We are going to introduce them to sparring at the end of the month. Right now their version of sparring is just dodging attacks from someone else.Lovette is the name of the lady that came to me after the very first class. She might be a little shy and quiet but she catches on really quickly. I have never seen somebody so determined to be good at fighting like she is. The first time that we had a private lesson, she came in with bruises on her ribs but would not tell me about them. I let Dante know through our mind link which just made him even more furious at the lack of evidence he seems to be finding to link anybody to the bullying situation. This is leading us to believe that it might be be a family member which makes us feel sad for her. What kind of family member does something like that?
"So you have a half brother?" I ask him curiously."Yes, he is almost a member of the pack. He had been asking for years but we haven't fully welcomed him in yet. We wanted to see what kind of a person he could be." He tells me."How? Isn't your mother his mate. Not many mates cheat with somebody else so how did this happen?" I ask."This was right before my mother came of age. My father thought that he was madly in love with somebody from another pack and they wanted to have pups of their own to raise to be Alpha. Then, when my mother came of age and he found out that she was his mate, he could no longer look at the other woman again. He did not know until later on that she was already pregnant with his child. She grew bitter and raised the child to hate us. A few years ago she passed away, and he began asking to join our pack. Something has always seemed off with the request so it has never formally been considered. Now it will not be considered either. I can'
I do not like that Lovette is gone by the time that I get up in the morning but since there is not much that I can do about it I prepare for my day. I have been trying to get up early enough to exercise lately so that is my goal for this morning before classes start as well. Dante is already awake and downstairs working like normal so I roll over to get up and get dressed. I cannot stop worrying about Lovette and how she could be doing but there is nothing that I can do for her if she does not want to help herself. I am not sure how to get her to see that but there has to be a way to help her out emotionally as well as physically."Dante, I keep thinking about what is going on with Lovette. There has to be something else that we can do." I implore."I know I keep thinking about the situation as well. I can't believe that my own brother would be willing to do something like this to a female. His female at that. She does not want the help enough though so I am not sure w
I keep Lovette's private lessons open for the next week hoping that she will one day show back up. My perserverance pays off at the end of the week when she finally shows up for the last one that is scheduled for that week."Lovette, you made it. I am so happy to see you. Do you want to go over everything that we did before since it has been a while?" I ask her."Sure, this is my last class though. I am not coming back after today." She says a little sadly."Why not? Is Akela making you quit the classes?" I ask her."No. He told me that he does not like them but he never told me that I had to quit. I am going to throw myself into fully making him happy though and this is the first step. I want to be able to have a few pups at some point and it is time that I start planning for that now." She says."Alright, if that is what you want. Just know that if you ever need me I am here. If you get scared or he hurts you feel free to come back. I have been d
The next morning brings a sense of suspense to the entire pack. By now word has travelled to each pack member and everyone knows that another pack is to be visiting today. Hopefully, they will only stay for one day before heading back to their own pack. My goal is to stay out of the way as much as possible during their visit if I am not with Dante. Being with Dante is still the safest place for me but if for some reason I cannot be with him then I am to stay away.Scarlett knows that there is a good chance of me stopping by while the other pack is here. While I could tell that she was really curious as to why I would be there instead of acting like a host, she did not question it. I think that it might be time that I tell her a bit of what I learned when I see her next. If she is going to be going to all of this trouble to help me hide then the least I can do is tell her what I know."Are you ready? They will be here any time now." Dante asks me while rubbi
I manage to choke down a few sandwiches even though my appetite has vanished. How much has he figured out about me and what I know of my parents? He acts like he knows what I know but that does not make sense since we did not tell anybody else what we learned when we were at the cottage. The men that went with us thought that we were just looking to find a few answers but they do not know that we learned any of the answers or found more questions.Dante shows the other pack to their quarters while I step outside for some fresh air."Is everything alright, Luna?" Kevin asks politely."Yes, just not what I expected when I finally start meeting other pack alphas. They aren't all like this one are they?" I ask honestly."No, I believe that Kiba is one of the worst that I have ever met and as Beta, I have met almost all of them. Something about him has always rubbed me wrong though. If I were you, I would listen to Dante and make sure that you are
I take a deep breath as we get ready to enter the pack house again. This is my home now so I will not let somebody make me feel not welcome in my own home. Even with the knowledge that they will be going home soon, it seems like the rest of the time that they are here is going to just drag."We need to get a pack dinner going for tonight. It is customary for the entire pack to be able to meet visiting alphas. It should be closer to a party than just a dinner so can you get ahold of my mother and Scarlett to get some decorations and food figured out while I work on a schedule with Kevin for guards. I will have someone walk you to Scarlett's house so we can get more done." Dante offers.Nodding, I wait for the guy that he motions over to begin walking me to Scarlett's house. While on the way, I mind link both Scarlett and Amora so that they can meet me there and we can get ready for this party. I have never felt less like partying since I got here but partyin
The pack shows up in numbers to put on this party for the other pack. Each family brings enormous amounts of food. We have a pack dinner almost every weekend but we never have this many pack members show up at the same time. It is a great show of solidarity and strength.As everybody finally gets in the mood to party, Kiba shows up with his crew of pack members. When his eyes instantly meet mine, I have to try to hide a shiver. I cannot stand this man no matter how good my mood is. He might have looks that some girls would swoon over but I cannot get past his aura of danger and the knowledge that he had my parents killed.Breaking eye contact, I find my way over to Scarlett who is sampling all of the baked goods."I have no reason not to eat everything I want! If I gain weight I will just blame the baby." She jokes excitedly."Well, I might not be able to blame a baby but I am not afraid to eat everything I want." I say.She just shakes her h
