Sleeping With The Moon Goddess

Elite Introductions

Camille

“Hey baby girl!”

I turned to see Damien stepping into the office. I ran into his embrace, and he lifted me up, swinging me around planting kisses on my face.

“How is everything going?”

“She’s actually quite impressive with battle strategy techniques,” Aiden replied.

“Well, of course she is, she’s our mate!”

I could feel the color rushing to my cheeks at the compliment, “I still have a lot to learn yet though.”

“Well, if you guys are all done here, how would you like to go with me to watch the Elites training session? Maybe even get some training in yourself?”

My heart jumped in my chest with excitement.

“Yes! I would love to!”

“I figured you might say that, so I had Julianna pack a bag for you with gym clothes.” Handing me a bag that I didn’t even notice he was carrying until now.

“Now get changed and we’ll head over.”

The training center we arrived at was stunning, not that I would have expected anything less.

Aiden headed up overhead to the viewing platform, while Damien took me out onto the training floor. There were about forty warriors already on the floor getting warmed up and who I recognized as Beta Ian at the front.

While I know we caught several stares, there was one person in particular who didn’t seem happy about my presence. Throwing looks and whispering to the girl sitting beside her.

“Damien, who is that girl over there with the long blonde hair?”

He stiffened for a moment; I was about to ask again when he finally answered me.

“Her name is Jessica. Her and I used to see each other . . . . . . . casually.” Struggling for the last word.

Ok great. I knew that they had dated and had relationships before me; I guess I just didn’t expect to have to deal with them directly.

I kept an eye on her as I followed Damien to the front of the room. I don’t know what she was whispering to her friend, but I could guarantee that it was about me and I would bet that it certainly wasn’t anything nice.

I glanced up and saw Aiden at the top of the viewing platform. He smiled down encouragingly, and I instantly was ready to deal with whatever came my way.

“Warriors,” Damien’s voice boomed throughout the room. “Let me be the first to introduce you to your future Luna, Luna Camille. You may see her attending and observing your class from time to time. While she is here to learn, she will train with only Beta Ian or with Beta Keegan.”

I wasn’t too surprised by that last part. I figured they wouldn’t trust any other men besides their Beta’s to train with me safely; plus, they probably didn’t want other men to touch me.

“It is a pleasure to meet you all! I look forward to learning from you and seeing what it means to be an Elite warrior for the Blood Moon Pack.” I followed up Damien’s introduction.

I heard several cheers from the warriors but there was one faint voice that caught my ear,

“Yeah, I’d like to teach her a thing or two alright,” followed by snickering.

“Who said that?” My voice was loud but commanding.

After a few seconds, Jessica finally stepped forward. Damien moved to speak but I held my hand up to silence him.

“I got this,” I whispered, so only he and Beta Ian could hear.

“Jessica, is it? Would you please join me up here in the front?”

She sneered at me, knowing she didn’t have a choice, as she finally made her way to the front of the room. She was taller than me by a few inches, with long toned legs. If I didn’t already dislike her so much, I could admit that she was actually quite beautiful.

“So, I heard you say that you would like to teach me a thing or two, is that right?” I could hear several of the warriors mumbling to each other under their breath.

Jessica suddenly put on the fakest smile I have ever seen and stared at Damien, running her eyes up and down the length of his body licking her lips. Alright, now she was asking for it, she’ll learn never to look at my mate like that ever again.

“Why yes Luna,” she said in a sickening sweet voice, “I would be more than happy to spar with you, but as Alpha Damien just said, you are only to train with the Beta’s.” Giving a fake pouting face at the end of her words.

I looked at Damien, “May I?”

He thought for a moment, “I’ll allow it.”

I could see Jessica’s face turn into a twisted smile, “Big mistake Luna.” She whispered. She thought she had won. She probably thinks I’m just some little Omega trying to impress Damien; I’ll show her what it’s like to fight a female Alpha who learned how to deal with bullies like her.

“Luna, Jessica, take your stance,” Beta Ian said.

We squared up with each other and she began to circle, throwing misleading punches and kicks, testing my response. When she finally went in for a throw, I turned out of the way and took a step back. She came at me again with a fake punch as she tried to sweep my legs out from under me; I dodged her sweep and stepped to her side. I continued this dodging charade for a few more of her throws.

She was getting frustrated now, good.

I continued to dodge her strikes and kicks with ease. All without throwing a single kick or strike of my own.

She was lightening quick, I’ll give her that, but it was almost as if I could slow down time, slow her down, allowing me to see every muscle of her body contract and expand, showing me what move she was going to make before she did it.

“Come on, I thought you were going to hit me?” I said, taunting her. I couldn’t help myself.

“Why you little b***h!”

She screamed as she drove straight at me and this time I struck. I landed a punch straight to her chest, knocking her flat on her back and the air from her lungs. She laid there gasping for a moment, trying to catch her breath.

“Get up,” I commanded in an Alpha voice that I hadn’t really noticed I could do.

This caused her and Ian to look at me, the understanding from my tone finally setting in.

She rolled back onto her feet and got up into her stance. Finally, that smirk was off of her face.

We circled each other for a few more seconds before I decided it was time to finish her lesson. I drove in and landed a punch to her jaw before she was able to block me, I continued to strike rapidly one after the other; I made sure that she would finish with a few cuts and bruises. I had her pinned beneath me with one arm around her neck in a choke hold and my other hand had her wrist pinned high up against her back.

Leaning down towards her ear, “I don’t ever want to catch you looking at my mate ever again, is that clear?”

“Yes Luna,” she said with a whimper, I'm sure from both physical pain and the pain of defeat.

I then glanced up at Damien, seeking his permission. Many eyes followed my own to see what his response would be. He nodded and instantly I twisted my hand while pushing up, snapping her wrist and causing her shoulder to dislocate.

She cried out and I let go, standing back up and allowing her friend to come help her up off the ground. The room erupted as everyone started talking.

‘Holy s**t, that was incredible!’ ‘Did you see the way she dodged her strikes like that!’ ‘It’s about time someone taught that b***h a lesson!’

“SILENCE” Damien’s voice shook the walls, “Any form of disrespect towards your Luna is punishable by pack law, and any threats towards my mate,” he was sure to look down at Jessica, “will result in either exile from the pack or death.” He then looked to the rest of the warriors, “Camille is an Alpha of her own birth right, and trust me, her training with Beta Ian and Beta Keegan is not for her own safety but for the rest of you.”

The room was dead silent for several seconds before Beta Ian spoke “Cindy, please take Jessica to the doctor to have her arm set, and as for the rest of you, pair up, 30 minutes offense, 30 minutes defense. Go!”
