The Next Day
Davyna's POVl yawn loudly and it's followed by a bellowing shout from my trainer, Diaz"Davyna! Focus!" I roll my eyes. "I just woke up! Give me a break!"He shakes his head at me before coming at me, silver eyes flashing.Fuck I gasp as he reaches me quickly and I start to block his advances. I manage to block most of them, but he does get a hit in and since we're not using any type of protective equipment, it hurts like hell. He doesn't hold back, and my bruises show it. They heal eventually, but I look like I'm a personal punching bag until they do.I hiss through my teeth as he slams a fist right in my ribs."Bring your vampire side out." He spits at me, still unrelenting with his strikes. I feel my eyes bleed crimson, and I snarl as the speed in which I am able to block increases."Good, keep focusing on where I'm trying to hit you. Try to anticipate and sense where my next strike will attempt to connect." He continues to keep striDavyna's POVI huff and puff as I try to catch my breath. It's been a week now since I've been here, and I've finished my physical training, but now Diaz has me working on switching between my vampire, hybrid, and werewolf states without needing to pause, and it's exhausting. I've been at it for what feels like ages, and my frustration has been getting the best of me.I can't say I'm disappointed, though. I feel stronger, I look stronger. I've built more muscle then I thought I ever could. I'm a lean, toned machine. Diaz says I am lethal, and he's not mistaken. I've taken down every challenge he has thrown at me physically. Between hand-to-hand and even with weapons, I am unbeaten with the other warriors.These switches are becoming a pain in my ass though. My hybrid state is proving to be the most difficult. It's an insane amount of raw power and there has been moments where I have almost lost it completely. I've held on, but it scares me that I'm still close to losing
Davyna's POV My heart literally exploded with excitement of the fact that I can now stay everyone else, having passed the first week of my intensetraining. It's hard to explain, but I understand what Declan meant by the fact that I was out of control. My emotions ruled me, and ultimately ruled my entire beings vampire, wolf, and hybrid sides. I know l'm not done yet, and this next phase is probably going to be the most difficult, but I feel like I have a good foundation at least.I sigh as I snuggle into Caleb as we sit on the couch together in the residences where we're staying. It was a long week, and not being able to touch, talk or see either of the boys hurt me more than I'd like to admit. So l am taking full advantage of this time. I changed out of my training gear and put on some black sweats and a loose white t-shirt."You honestly did amazing out there, baby. Vincent and l are so proud of you." I smile at his compliment. "Thank you. It was hard, but I push
Vincent's POVNow back at the residences, I watch as Marcella is trimming Davyna's hair to be more even, as her chosen method of cutting it didn't leave it looking the greatest. She had approached Caleb and l and had embraced us tightly and told us she was okay and that Diar' methods had helped her get her head on straight.Her feelings through the bond reflected that and it was almost as if her coming to terms with what happened had healed the ache in her heart that was always present in the background. Caleb and I had discussed how we were going to help her with this in the past, but I now realize it was something she had to do on her own.The whole tribe is here. Sage sits on the floor working on partially shifting her hands, Caleb is sitting on the couch with me as I skim a book and he works on some emails on his phone. Davyna is sitting in a dining chair near the back of the room with Marcella behind her as she, continues to tidy up her hair. The sound of the scisso
I feel someone lightly shake me. I open my eyes, instantly feeling a pain in my neck from my sleep position on the couch. Looking up I see my Father, looking very awkward "um..." He trails off as I sit upHe's already dressed in a blue collared shirt and khakis, his dark hair is combed over, eyes looking around "Luara asked me to look at your back, Sonia called this morning and wanted to make sure you were healing ok" he says and I nod, still trying to wake up"Oh...alright" I nod and standI pull up my shirt a little exposing my lower back and I feel him pull back the gauze a little. I wince seeing that it still hurts "it looks better than yesterday, it seems to only be a first or second degree burn by now" he says and I nod, not really knowing what to say"Ok, thank you" I say and pull down my shirt"She brought over more gauze and cream if you need it" he says and picks it up form the coffee table, handing it to me "I've got to go to work..." He
Eva's POV I could barely keep my eyes open as I rested my head heavily on the palm of my hand. My cheek went slightly red from the impression my fingers and palm had made.My brain barely took in the words my English Literature teacher was relaying, my mind unable to comprehend the information she was providing.What I did hear seemed to follow straight through one ear and out the other.My absence of attention or care was due to a lack of sleep and exhaustion. I hadn't gotten home until past 1 am last night, and for a reason unknown to me, I could barely get an hour of sleep.My wolf had been scarce, she had moved further into the back of my mind since my parents passed but lately, she had made her presence more known.I had thrown myself into border patrol shifts, doing more than 4-night shifts a week and the occasional double shift. It was a distraction and it allowed me to grow stronger and stronger.Something the Beta of my pack, Jaxon, had agreed with. He would encourage me to
Eva's POV When the final bell rang at three o'clock, I walked toward the parking lot. My eyes immediately scanned for Jason and Luke, the Alpha and Beta properties were practically beside each other so we would share rides.Neither of them had any extracurricular activities after school today which meant I caught a ride with them this morning instead of going in my own vehicle.They stood beside Luke's black Dodge Charger, Jason leaning against it as they spoke to the Third in Command's twin daughters.I approached them, quickly walking towards Jason's side, and giving the twins a small smile which they returned. The twins had newly shifted, their wolves present in their eyes.Both Debby and Claire had not yet gained full control of their wolves, having newly shifted they were still in practice.Their older brother and our future Third in Command, River, had taken the next three weeks off school to follow through with his own training."Ready to go?" Luke questioned once the twins sa
Eva's POV Jason and I drove towards the mall, it was around a half-hour drive from home. The others were meeting us there, Luke was still with his dad, and Kelvin and Lucy had gone to breakfast with Kelvin’s parents.The whole ride consisted of Jason complaining and freaking out over a human girl who seemed to be infatuated with him, I couldn't help but laugh as he described how disturbed he was at her behavior.To be fair to him, she did seem to be lovesick and slightly obsessive but that's what happens when you hook up with someone who wasn't your mate.The problem was that the boys seemed to believe that if they hooked up with a human, they didn't have to be concerned about the consequences when their mates show up. Or deal with the clingy emotions of teenage girls."You hooked up with her three times, what do you expect?"He groaned at my reply, not appreciating my unhelpful answer."I told her I didn't want anything serious. I'm going to have to meet up with her, she keeps texti
Eva's POVI spent the majority of Saturday in bed watching whatever I could find on the television. Lucy had phoned me to say that both she and Elix would be arriving around 7 o'clock to pick me up.We had all changed plans, the guys wanted to get to the party earlier which meant Lucy was going to drive us girls down and leave her vehicle there overnight.Apparently, the party was being held in the Alpha's old house. They had moved and were renovating their old property into a second pack house since their numbers were increasing and needed more space.Alpha Torey had called Luke last night, inviting him and anyone else he wanted to stay which meant we would all be residing on his territory overnight.Already prepared, I washed and blow-dried my hair the night before. I didn't want my hair to suffer too much from the heat when I straightened it later after my shower. I had already hung up my dress in my wardrobe and hadn't fully decided on what shoes I wanted to wear.Jason and I had
