I woke covered in a cold sweat. Uhhh Thank God it was just a dream. I sat up, realizing my mates were not in bed with me. My heart picked up. I was about to climb out of bed to go look for them when Jayden mindlinked me.
"Calm down, baby girl. We had to come talk to dad. We are on our way back now." I relaxed back on my pillows and waited for my mates to get back. I needed to tell them about my dream.
Kayden was the first to reach the door quickly, followed by Jayden and Hayden.
"Princess, is everything alright?" Asked Hayden. I shook my head.
"I had a dream. The rival pack attacked. Jayden was seriously hurt. I was completely useless. I want to train just like everybody else." The guys all glanced at each other.
"I can not have our Luna in harm's way." said Kayden stubbornly. I poked him in the chest.
"Your Luna can't be useless either. I was born to fight, and before becoming your mate, I was the top warrior and trained daily. I need this, Kayden. I need to make sure I can defend myself and my pack if I had to."
The guys all sat thinking it over. I could tell they were conflicted. Conflicted because they wanted me happy at the same time, it went against the very fiber of their being to have their Luna in harm's way. After a while of restless waiting, Jayden spoke.
"I will allow it to make you happy. However, I am definitely not okay with this." I walked up to Jayden wrapping my arms around his neck and kissed him softly.
"Thank you. I understand this is hard for you, but our duty is to our pack and keep them safe. This is what's best for the pack." I said softly. A soft knock drew our attention to the door.
"Excuse me for interrupting, but breakfast is ready."
"Thanks, Rosilinda. We will be right down." Hayden said. Rosilinda took over for Helga when she was demoted.
I rather liked Rosilinda. She had long dark curls that hung loosely to her waist, big blue eyes, and a beautiful golden tan. She could also sing. She had the voice of an angel. I heard her once when I was walking down the corridor on one of my many adventures around the pack house. I had stopped in my tracks when I heard her voice fill the corridor.
"She ain't the one who slammed the door and torn off in a truck. She ain't the one who made me feel like I ain't good enough. But someone's gotta help clean up the mess you went and made. So here's to friends there to fix a heart they didn't break." Her voice sounded so sad singing "A Heart They Didn't Break" by Maddie and Tae.
I sat there until she finished singing, then I tentatively knocked on the door. And that's how Rosilinda and I met and became friends. We would sit and talk music for hours. We liked the same things. Mostly country, but when we need something more edgy, we turn up Anthony Beastmode. When we are depressed we blair Citizen Soldier. All depending on the mood. I learned she was originally mated to one of the warriors, but he rejected her because she was an omega. He only rejected her, though, after getting what he wanted from her. She wouldn't tell me the warrior's name, but she didn't have to. I could see his face in her mind. I made a mental note to ask specifically for him during training. I had to right a wrong done to my friend. I wanted to promote her to one who only takes care of me. She will be a higher ranked omega. I would be bringing it up to my mates later. after all, they were the ones who said I needed to find more people I could trust. Well, I trusted Rosilinda. She was a pure heart. I hoped one day her ex mate would grow to regret ever letting this beautiful soul go. She was too good for him, not the other way around like he thought.
It was time for my first training session, and I was ready. I specifically asked to rain with Hayden as I knew Rosilindas ex mate whose name was Jordan (I learned from Rosilinda's little sister) would be training in his session. I didn't tell her why I wanted to know his name. I just happened to be walking by him with her and asked who he was. Little did Mr. Jordan know he was about to meet his maker.
We all met in the battle arena we used for training. I stood next to Hayden. He grabbed my hand.
"Are you sure about this?" Hayden asked. " I won't be able to stand it if anything happens to you, Luna." I smiled up at my mate. He had never seen me fight before.
"Don't worry, my Alpha. I won't get hurt."
The pack began to file in, and my eyes found Jordan easily. Everyone pairs up. Hayden paired up with his Gamma. I walked right up to Jordan.
"Care to spar with me?" I said sweetly. I heard a growl from behind me and rolled my eyes. Hayden was beside me in an instant.
"Absolutely not. Not a male. You can find a female to spar with." He was seething at the idea of me sparring with a male. I gently placed my hand on his arm, which calmed him instantly.
"Hayden, let me do this, please." He frowned but nodded and walked away.
Jordan and I faced each other. He was in offensive pose while I was on defense. He swung at me. I dodged it easily. I saw the shock in his eyes.
"Faster than I thought." He said.
"Maybe you shouldn't underestimate people." I said sweetly. He nodded.
He went to swipe my feet out from under me. I placed my hands on his shoulders using him for leverage and flipped over him.
"Hey, what the hell." He shouted.
"What's the matter, Jordan?" He swung at me again. I blocked his punch before punching him straight in the face. Blood gushed from his nose. Definitely broken. I smiled at that.
"What the hell!" He yelled and looked at me angrily.
"I'm sorry, Jordan. Are you okay?" I asked him innocently. He glared at me and lunged at me. I didn't get a chance to move because Hayden was between us.
"One thing you won't do is get mad and try and harm anyone, just because they bested you. Next time you come at my Luna with the intent to actually harm her and you will be walking with a limp for the rest of your life. Zane!"
"Yes, Alpha?"
"Get Jordan to the infirmary. The rest of you, we are done for the day." He slid his arm around my waist as we walked out of the area.
"Care to explain that to me, my little Luna." I shrugged
"He did something he shouldn't have. Trust me, that punch to the face he deserved. Also, I need to speak with you, Kayden, and Jayden when we get back."
"Of course, my love." He said and kissed the top of my head.
