Grayson Pov.
We woke up at 3 am to make sure that we get to the field in time. We went to the shower house and was lucky to find it empty.
By the time we were ready to leave most of the dorm room got up, so we weren't swept up in all the activity.
After we almost got lost twice we made it to the field. The instructors were already there waiting for us. I knew by the look on the instructor's face that it was going to be a long day
We waited for everyone and once everyone arrived the instructors placed everyone into age groups. That means Anthony and I are in the same group.
"Settle down everyone. Look around you. This will be your group for the remainder of this course. You will train in this group and also eat in this group. Now I'm going to assign you a senior-only for today. He will run in front of you so you can learn the grounds. You have 30 minutes to complete this course first in human form and then in werewolf form. Now go."
We ran after the senior. The terrain was hard and full of rocks. Anthony and I stayed in front of the group. Once we got back to the starting line our senior didn't give us much time to change into our wolves before he sets back off on the trail.
After our run, we waited for the rest of the group. This is why I love to be in the front. It gives you the opportunity to rest up while you wait for the others to catch up.
The instructor walked up to me and Anthony.
"Well done boys. I hope to see more of this good work in training. Get ready we are sparring next."
Antony and I look at each other confused. Why would the instructor come up to us to compliment us? We heard rumors that the instructors are hard asses. That they are more like drill sergeants than actual people.
Everybody finally arrived after their lap. The instructor walks towards us.
"Welcome back boys. I am happy that you made the lap under 30 minutes. That means all of you are in tip-top shape. Now make a circle." The instructor waited for everyone to form a circle before he continued to talk." Now we are going to spare. I will point to two of you and you will fight. After the fight, I will show you what you did wrong and how you can approve it. The fight will be until someone is pinned down. Remember this is friendly fighting. If you choose to change into your wolves it will be allowed but I don't want you to draw any blood. Do I make myself clear."
"Yes sir." We all applied in unison.
Let's start. I want you and you." The instructor pointed to two random boys and they walked into the middle. They took up their fighting position. They circled around each other and then everything became a blur. I zoned out for most of the class. Anthony had to tap me when the instructor called on me. Luckily I had to fight against Anthony.
We circled each other and my wolf took over. I fought like my life depended on it making sure not to hurt my one and only friend in this place. I landed a couple of good shots, but I still didn't win.
After our fight, the instructor came forward.
"Boys I see that you held back a bit. Remember that you won't be able to hold back once you are in a real fight. I want you to work on your stances. You leave yourself open to attacks. Both of you let your guard down after 5 min into the fight. Grayson, I want to talk to you after class please."
I nod my head and went back to my position in the circle.
After class, I walked up to the instructor.
"I want to talk to you about your fighting. You have the potential to become a great Alpha but you need to get your wolf under control. The whole fight trough I saw you were fighting against your wolf."
"Yes sir. Sometimes when I fight he just takes over. I just didn't want to hurt my friend."
"I understand, but we are going to help you in taking back control. I read your file and I know that you have angel and werewolf blood. We will help you harness both in a fight."
"Thank you, sir." The instructor turns around and walks away. I am dumbfounded. I would like to harness both. My mother always trained my angel side and my father trained my werewolf side. It will be nice if I was trained both at the same time.
I made my way to the dining hall. I look around and see Anthony. He held a place open for me and also got me some food.
"So what did the instructor want?" Anthony asked as soon as I sit down.
"He told me he could help me harness both my angel and werewolf side in a fight. He also told me I should get my wolf under control."
"I think he is right you know. Someone of the punches you landed really hurt." Anthony smiles at me.
"Yeah sorry about that. I am working on that. Hopefully next time I will win the fight."
We finished our breakfast in silence. We went up to our room showered once again and made our way to our classes.
My most interesting class is negotiations. I learned so much. The rest of the classes were quite boring since I know half of the things they thought us. My father made sure I learned the way a pack was run from a very young age.
The day went by so fast that I could barely take a breath before it was time for our next training session.
That night I was so exhausted I didn't have the energy to go for a shower.
Mia POVToday is my 18th birthday. Not that it makes a difference. I haven't celebrated my birthday for the past 2 years. I guess I have not been in the celebrating mood."Liam come down for breakfast. You are going to be late for school, again.""Happy birthday Mia. Thank you for everything." Liam hands me a self-drawn card, I opened it up, and inside Liam drew a picture of me and him holding hands."Aww thank you, Liam. Now eat your breakfast. We need to leave."Liam started to wolf down his food as fast as he could. Liam is my younger brother. I have been looking after him for the past 2 years. It hasn't been easy, but we have made it work. As best as we could. I was only a child when I had to take up my brother's responsibility, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I had to drop out of school to find a job to look after him, but it is better than both of us ending up on the system.Liam and I left to pick up my best friend Kai. Ka
Grayson POV (1 week later)My first week at school is over. It was hard adjusting to the new routine, but I made it. It is the weekend and I have been invited to my first party. I can't wait.Antony and I are on our way to the party now. The party is at Richard Dunkeld pack. He is one of the guys in our age group. He comes to school each morning since his pack is based in Australia. Not far from the school.We arrived at the party and the party is already in full swing. There are loud music and alcohol everywhere. I just keep thinking that my parents will never allow something like this. The party maybe but not the booze.Richard came towards me and Anthony."Hey boys. So what do you think?""It looks like a fun party Richard," Anthony replies to Richard."Let me guess. You have never been to a party before?""I have been to lots of parties, but to be honest I have never been drunk in my life," I say feeling a little guil
Mia POVI have been working in the strip club for a week now and I hate every moment of it. The only good thing about this job is the tips I make. I make twice as much in one night than I do for the whole month working at the restaurant.I have learned so much about the clientele in the club. Some come for the dancing other for the stripping, but most of them come just to be social with each other.This week we had a bachelor's party. That was the best customer I had for the whole week. The more they drunk the bigger the tips were. The bachelor wanted a lap dance from me in the back so I went with him, but all he wanted was to talk. He told me that this is not his scene. I was so dumbstruck that I didn't know what to tell him. Cinnamon warned me about bachelor's parties. The groom is usually is the worst of the lot.It's at the end of the night and the girls and I are sitting at one of the tables and counting our tips. Just chatting away.I h
Mia POV (1 month later)Things between me and Kai haven't been the same. We have been avoiding each other since the night he told me about his feelings. Ava is starting to suspect something, but we could brush it off saying that we see each other at work all the time.After that night I decided that is was time to jump into the dating pool. The only problem is that the men I attract are plain creepy. As soon as they hear I am a stripper they think that it is an easy way into my bed and don't get me started about when they hear I am responsible for my little brother.Now I am part of a dating app. Tonight is my first date with this guy. Ava is here helping me get ready for my date."So what is its guy's name?" Ava asks me curling my hair."His name is Patrick Phillips. He is 27 and works at a bank. He has a son of his own, so he will understand that I am looking after my brother.""Sounds like a dream guy for you. I hope this goes well.
Mia POVI went to sit next to Patrick. He takes my hand in his. He looks at me with amazement in his eyes."That was amazing. I see now why you wanted to be a singer. You should do everything in your power to make that dream a reality. You cannot hide that talent away. Everyone in the world needs to hear your voice." Patrick looks so sincere. I haven't sung for anyone since my parents died. I only ever sang for people close to me."Thank you, Patrick. Like I said I haven't sung in a really long time. I am a little rusty.""If that was you being a little rusty. I wonder what you will sound like when you are in practice."I hear someone cleaning his through and we looked up. I see a man in a suit standing there. He is smiling from ear to ear, almost looking like he has won the lottery."I am sorry to interrupt your evening. My name is Domonic. I am the owner of the Fletcher Pub. I was here on a date with my wife and heard you sing. I am
Mia povI woke up with my alarm blaring next to me. I look at the clock and see that it is only 5 am. Why the hell did I set my alarm for that early? I turn around to fall back asleep when I remembered that I have an audition today.I jump up and a small happy dance. My dream might finally become a reality. I walk towards my closet. I look through my clothes but nothing pops out at me. I really need to make a great impression at this audition. I see a summer dress at the back of my closet.I take it out and realize it was the last dress my mother bought me before the accident. It is a black bohemian style summer dress with pink and red flowers all over it. It is elegant enough to wear to an audition but not overpowering enough to make me look old.It was like it was bought for my audition. I send up a quiet thank you to my mother. she always knew what I needed even before I knew it myself. I go in search of my black gladiator sandals tha
Mia PovI walk out of the pub after my audition and feel lighter than ever. I look up at the sky and smile."Mama, Papa. I made it. I am finally going to be a singer." When Domonic and Scott offered me the job I knew I was going to take it. The money only sweetened the deal.I walk towards my car and see an internet Cafe. No time like the present to draft those resignation letters." Hello. How may I help you? " The guy behind the counter asks me with a smile."I would like to use one of your computers to draft letters. I don't know how long I am going to be.""Right this way miss." The guy leads me towards one of the open computers. He logs on for me and moves out of the way for me to sit down.I opened up a word-document and decide to keep my resignation letter to the strip club short and professional. My letter to the restaurant was more emotional. Uncle Max the owner is like a father to me.
Grayson (1 year later)Tomorrow is our graduation. I cannot believe that it has already been a year. Today Anthony and I are spending the day packing since we are leaving after the graduation ceremony. I am finally going to see my family after a year. I can't believe how much I missed them. I even missed the twins and that is saying something. Those two are terrors together, but I still love them."So where are you going to start your search for your mate?" Anthony asks me while folding his clothes. Anthony told me that he will start his journey in the next couple of months since he wants to be there for the birth of his brother. Even if the child is his father's second wife son. He would also like to spend some time with his family. I however wanted to start my journey as soon as possible. I can do all the catching up as soon as I have my mate in my arms."I guess I am going to start with touring through Europe. That has been my dream for as long as I can remem
Mia POVGrayson and I have been dating for a couple of months. His mother Emelia has been showing me the ropes of being Luna.Ava and Kai wanted to be part of the pack and when they told me that I was overjoyed. Their ceremony was 2 weeks ago. They had a beautiful baby boy. Ava told me in a moment where we were alone that she wanted her son to be apart of a loving pack. I agree with her. When she told me about how her life was growing up, my heart broke for her."Happy thoughts Mia. Today is your wedding day." Ava said while laying down her bundle of joy. Grayson's mother and sister came in with the biggest smiles on their faces."Did they deliver the dresses?" Evie asked me. I pointed to her dress. I asked Ava and Evie to be my bridesmaids. Evie was so happy she started dress shopping immediately. I told them the dresses need to be light pink and that they can pick out their dresses themselves."Well, time to get ready." Emalia paid for the hairdr
Mia POVToday is the day that I finally say goodby to this hospital room. Grayson had said sorry to me over a million times. I do not blame him for anything that happened.When that woman came into the room the first time I realized that she is sick. She lived in her own world and there is nothing we could do about that.I have been in the hospital for 2 weeks. It was the most horrible time of my life. Grayson kept asking me about what happened while I was taken. There is nothing I could tell him. The only cruelty that she showed me is, not giving me anything to eat or drink.In these 2 weeks Ava, Kai, and Grayson have gotten to know each other. Ava absolutely loves Grayson.She told me all about the time after I went missing. She told me that Grayson only went to bed after I was found. That was sweet of him, but I didn't want him to get sick because of me.Grayson and I talked about moving to his hometown. There is a lot of information ther
Grayson POVMia has been missing for a week now. The police have gotten absolutely nowhere with the investigation. Until this morning.There was a tip from one of the packs, situated here in New-Zeeland. They saw a woman matching Aria's description, going into a house that is supposed to empty and on sale.It is a newly built housing complex and no one is supposed to have been moved in.We are currently sitting in the trees surrounding the building. We are all supernaturals since we make the least noise. I left Kai at the hospital. He doesn't even know that we got a lead. From what I have gathered the last week, is that Kai is actually Mia's best friend. They grew up together until he has to move away. I knew that if I told him that, he would want to come along.I see movement in the corner of my eye. Aria is coming out of the house with a plastic bag in her hands. She walked to the curb, and I took that as my chance to go to her. I told the
Mia POVI tried to open my eyes. My head feels a little fuzzy. I tried to wipe my eyes but realized that my hands were tied up.I open my eyes and start looking around. The room is dark. The few sun rays that are filtered through the tiny vents on the wall that helps me see just a tiny bit better.It looks like I am in the basement of some sort. The bed that I am on looks to be like the only furniture in the room. Then my eyes travel to a table at the other end of the room.The door was opened and the whole room was flooded in light. I tried to shield my eyes but I couldn't. Not that I could do anything with my hands and feet bounds together.I couldn't even talk. There was a sticky tape that was covering my mouth."So the bitch is awake. Good. Now we can talk. I am going to remove the tape from your mouth. If you scream, I will kill you." I just nod my head. I will do anything to walk out of here alive. She walks closer and rips off t
Stranger POVI have been following Grayson and that bitch around. I was hoping to get her alone for once. She is always either in the car or is with someone.This morning I nearly had my chance but Grayson came out of the cafe too quickly. I just follow them until they stopped at the hospital.I got my chance when she came out of the hospital alone. I made my way to her. I kept the injection close. There is no way that she is going to getaway.Mia POVI walk out of the hospital feeling better than I ever had. I am so happy that Grayson and my friends get along so well. When Grayson and I fully mate I want to ask him if he would accept Ava and Kai into his pack.There is no way that I will be able to make it without them. Maybe first I need to ask them if they would like to come and live with me at the pack. Where ever that is.I raise my hand to unlock my car, but I felt a sharp stab in my neck. I turn
Grayson POVI woke up fuller of life than ever before. I am happy that I finally found out what is going on with Mia. I guess I would have done the same if I was in her position.There is so much that I still have to do for her. I just wish that she will get back to me as soon as possible with her decision. I promised her that I will give her some space today. It is hard, but as I told her last night I will not pressure her into anything. She has a brother to think about.My phone rang and it was my mother. I picked up."Hello, mother. What can I do for you?""I just wanted to know if you got to talk to your mate yesterday?""Yes, mom. Don't worry. I got to see her last night. We resolved the issues she had.""That is good. I speak to you again later."My mom dropped the call. I look at my phone in confusion. This was the shortest conversation I have ever had with my mother. There was a strain in her voice that I recogniz
Mia POVGrayson and I talked way past midnight last night. I felt so ashamed about how I treated him.He told me that he will not push me. He only wants to be with me. He understands that I am human and will court me as any other human man would have.If I feel like I no longer want to be with him then he would leave me alone. No questions ask. I am currently laying in bed just thinking about the future.I didn't lie to Grayson when I said I felt drawn towards him. I still feel that. Now more than ever. I guess the more time we spend together the more I feel towards him. Maybe it is the mate bond or maybe it is me. I don't really know.The first sight of the sun just came flooding into my room. I stood up and started getting ready for the day ahead of me.I asked Grayson just for today. I need to get my thought in a row. I would love to have somebody just for me to love.20 minutes later I walked into Ava's room. She is bu
Stranger POVI followed Grayson to a hotel. I even got a room in the same hotel. I had to take a room on a different level, but that will not stop me.Once he entered his room I placed a camera so that I can see him coming in and out of his room. I made my way to my room and sat and waited for him.He didn't come out of his room for the whole night. I guess my poor baby was tired. I didn't want to sleep just in case he left and I didn't notice.There was the only movement again after 6 the next morning. I followed him and saw him getting into the cab. I caught the next cab and did a spell to get the cabbie to follow Grayson.When we stopped I saw Grayson going into a car rental company. I waited until he came out once again.I followed him to this quaint little cafe. It looked like a very small business. I didn't try to go in. He would surely know that I am following him if he saw me inside the cafe.I did, however, get out of t
Grayson POVI got the same room as the previous time. I actually just got lucky on that one. The previous couple that stayed there just checked out.I looked out of the window into the dark. The sun has already set. The light in the city has started to switch on. They look like fairies dancing in the sky.It is already too late to go to the pub. Mia would already be finishing up her show. So I will start bright at early tomorrow.My wolf is back and being extremely annoying. He just wants to go out and find Mia. Make her talk to us.I am trying to keep him under wraps, but it is seriously hard. He is persistent. I close my eyes and clear my head. I think it is time to shut my mind off. That way Ernouf can stop irritate me.I fell asleep soon after...................................My phone's alarm woke me up at 6 am. I got ready to make my way to the cafe. Mia will probably go back to the cafe now that I didn't go there
