My boyfriend's brother

“Incoming attack” “Where”  “I am not going to tell you how I am going to attack you. You’re supposed to anticipate my movements”  “Well, you’re not supposed to announce it either”. Hayden just smirked at and just increased the intensity of his attack. Hayden was very good at combat but that was because our dad who is the alpha of the Blackwell lunar pack had chosen my brother to be his heir. He had shown exceptional power when he was born. My dad wanted Hayden to learn how to fight and protect himself at an early age. This is so he can fight any challenges and remain secure in his position so he can ascend to the clan leader once my dad retires. Me, I had to fight to make sure that I was able to participate and get advanced training. I blamed my father for this. I think that it is a combination of me being his little girl and the notion that I should never fight because I will always be protected. Once I was at an age to protest, I made a claim with my father and mother. My father began to shut my idea down but my mother rebuked him and agreed with me. She believed that as an Alpha daughter that I should learn how to fight and protect my self. She turned to my dad and took his face in his hand.  “She is not always going to be with us and when she is unleashed in the world I want her to be prepared and we would have done our jobs as parents.”So I had permission and threw myself into physical training. My passion for it grew until I mastered everything I could get my hand on. I enjoyed it. The feeling, that if needed I can protect myself and those I love.  I showed up to the training session today where I was going to fight one of the betas in the pack but all I saw was my brother Hayden. He took me by the arms and took me to one of the mats. He took off his shirt and began stretching out. I just stood there confused. “Where is tony, I am supposed to fight him today” My brother just motioned me to follow his lead and stretch out too. I complied and began to stretch out my calves but I was curious about why he was here and not tony. He saw my expression on my face which clearly communicated what I wanted to know but he ignored it and stood and loomed over me till I finished stretching. Once I stood up from stretching my hips, He went into a fighting stance and attacked me without warning. I was shocked but muscle memory helped and let me get out the way of his first hit. He laughed and my indignant gasp but was in battle mode. I took a step back and we circled each other as we sized each other up. I was 5,2 and small. I could not win on brute strength but I was fast. very fast. Hayden was 6’4 and bulky. He was big but not as fast as me. Also, Hayden was an alpha and that meant he wanted to dominate me in battle and was growing more impatient to do so as I dogged him. I just had to wait and dodge him and make him frustrated. He will attack and in his impatience, he will make a mistake which I can take advantage of. With a plan in mind, I did just that. I moved and weaved in and out of his arms and attacked.  It was working. He was growing very frustrated and he began to swing at me repeatedly. He then stopped and his face had a look on it like he was rethinking his strategy. He had a triumphant look as he finally got a fool-proof plan that would succeed. His expression was then replaced by amusement. He slowed down his attack and began to use less force in his attack. Confused by his switch up, I tripped and gave him an opening which he did not take. “what are you doing” “nothing little sis just having some fun”  He was putting minimal effort in and was going easy on me. The patronising little s**t. I was a respectable fighter and a worthy opponent, so I focused and attacked with a new sense of purpose. I was angry and that made me reckless He sensed the change in me, and his eyes lit up with the thrill of the battle. For a second it worked as I pushed him a couple of steps back.  but he quickly recovers the ground that I took.  I was never going to win the fight but that didn’t stop me from trying. See my brother wolf has awakened and mine will not awake until a few weeks. This will be on my 18th birthday He looks me with his eyebrows raised and echoed what I just thought: “Yield, you know you won’t win against me. It may be a different conversation when you awaken but right now you don’t stand a chance”.  Too late I realise that his insults and his chance in pace and intensity were meant to make me angry so I would be distracted so he can get close to me. He charges me and goes for my knees which causes me to fall on the ground. He held me down using his werewolf strength. His face was now full of all the emotions that he had previously concealed. His face was warring with amusement and triumph. I still struggled against him but realised it was futile and was about to concede when a familiar ringtone echoed in the training room, which was accompanied by a knock on the door. This told me that it was my best friend. Michael is my best friend ever since second grade when he defended me even though I didn’t really need it. I already had two protectors.No don’t think about him. The familiar hurt was beginning to rise up in me. I pushed it back down and ignored it. Anyways, he was probably here so I can give him a ride to school.  I could totally kiss him right now as my brother got distracted as he sniffed, and the door and his eyes glazed over. His grip on me eased and I used this and got up and flipped so he was on the floor and pulled my makeshift weapon which was screw I found in the grass toward his neck. He stilled under me. He was shocked but yielded. I threw my makeshift weapon away and got up. He picked him up and he dusted himself off.  I can’t believe that I actually defeated Hayden albeit he was distracted but in a real fight that distraction would get him killed so I consider my win as completely legit. I got up and began to celebrate by doing my victory dance in front of him. He just chuckled. I was still doing my victory dance when I realised Hayden was making his way to the backdoor and was going to open to the door for my best friend. Hayden had probably just gotten past the gate.  My dad made sure that the pack well was looked after and made sure that he kept up to date with security measures My dad has purchased a lot of acres of land right beside the forest. He then installed a gate. There was a reception which buzzed in people. After you were buzzed in, there was a keypad. The keypad then released a frequency which only wolves could hear to announce that humans were arriving and them to act all normal. I pick up my water bottle and take a sip while waiting for Hayden and Michael. After a moment they both enter the garden. Michael's face is flushed, and Hayden has a completely self-satisfied look on his face. But before I can say anything my best friend grabs my hands and walks from where they came leaving my brother behind us.  “What happened there” “Nothing. He turns to exist and stops and states “I  don't understand your brother” ‘What did he do” “Nothing he is just so annoying he said with his eyes flashing with an emotion I couldn’t catch/ “You are preaching to the choir” "Ugh whatever it's not even that important" By his reaction, it looked important but I let it go for now. I make a note to talk about it when we get away from the house, so we are not in the hearing range of nosey werewolves.  We gravitated toward the kitchen where My mom and metis was cooking a decent spread for breakfast. Metis and my mums are each other's best friends. They were born in the same pack and then my mom met my dad, got married to my dad and moved to the Blackwell lunar pack. Metis followed my mom not a month later. They were inseparable and my dad and metis husband ingles always joked that she only married him so she can get back with her best friend.  When we walked in, she came and gave Michael a hug. She loved Michael. She came to me but wrinkled her nose and told me to have a shower.  “I don’t smell that bad do I” I question believing that it was just My’s super smelling and thinking that maybe I can get past the day on deodorant. Michael leaned into and took a whiff.  “You do,” all three of them say instantaneously. Whelp looks like it is time for a shower then
