The Wild Luna

Training field.

Two weeks later.

Amelia was lying on the ground, breathing heavily. She was exhausted after another session of training with Sebastian.

-Can we take a break? - she begged, but the warrior was adamant.

- No honey, we are not done yet.

- You have no mercy. I can't do it anymore.- Amelia was ready to beg him on her knees. It's been three hours since they started, and she was

- We can stop if you want. But I will tell you that there is no chance for you to survive outside the real world.

- Don't worry. I am pretty sure you will kill me first.

- It is not even a real training yet, so stop whining. All we are doing right now is building up your stamina. And you can see there is a lot of work to do. - Sebastian's patient was wearing thin.

- You said we would be doing small steps. - Amelia stood up from the ground.

- That is why you are only doing laps right now in your human form. That is elementary training. With time it will be easier for you, I promise. After that, we will start with improving your fighting skills.

- I am not a fighter, as you noticed. - After twenty laps, her good mood was already gone.

- No one was born a fighter. All young werewolves start very young, first as humans and later as wolves. You had no chance to train, and now your body is falling on the most straightforward task.

Sebastian grinned from ear to ear.

- And I will do anything to make you a warrior. It will be painful, but you will thank me one day.

- At least admit, you enjoy seeing me in that worn out and doing, don't you? Amelia gave him a nasty look.

- You are not dying, so move your ass and show me how much worth you are. Ten more laps.

-You got to be kidding me!! Now I am sure you want to kill me.

- Ok, let's make it fifteen; maybe that will teach you to stop complaining about my teaching methods.

Amelia opened her mouth to say something.

- Don't say a word, or you will be running here for the rest of the day. - Shadow retorted. - I love you, Little Dove, but he is right; you are whining way too much. We are doing this to get stronger, better, and more powerful. You are not a weakling; you need practice and skills. And soon, you will be unstoppable. No one will ever harm you again.

- Thank you, Shadow. You always know what to say.- Amelia straightened her back, held her head up, and started running.

-That's the spirit, go girl, you can do it. - Sebastian was trying to cheer her up.

- He will pay me one day for all that.- the girl thought.

- Sebastian is just trying to help.- Shadow remained her. - Don't be too hard for him.

- Oh, please look at him. He loves to see me suffering. I promise to kick his ass one day. That is my goal.

- Whatever makes you happy. -Shadow decided to drop the subject.

- It will make me happy.- Amelia groaned loudly and started another lap.

Two hours later, training was finally over, and Amelia was sleeping soundly in her room after taking a bath.

Sebastian and Alice were sitting in the kitchen.

- How is she doing?- The witch asked.

- She is powerful, even considering that she was starving for most of her life and suffered a lot of torture in her pack.

Her body is not fully recovered yet; I am interested in how she will improve when she gains more muscles.

But seriously, I am surprised by her condition. In no time, she will be ready to start sparing sessions with me. The only thing she needs to learn is how to fight. In both forms.

Her wolf looks pretty calm right now, even too quiet for my liking. She is not shifting too often, so it is supposed to be more demanding, but somehow she is keeping it under control. Have you seen her wolf at all?

- When I think about that, no, since I found Amelia, she was not shifting. But I think it is because she has kept her wolf secret since she was fourteen. Maybe it is just a practice.

- Amelia had her wolf at the age of fourteen? - Sebastian seemed to be shocked.

- You didn't know? - Alice was sure she told this to the warrior before, or the girl told him by herself.

- We don't have much time for talking unless Amelia curses at me for torturing her. - Sebastian laughed at the memory of their last training.

- She shifted for the first time when she was fourteen but tried to keep it hidden because of the fear that her Alpha would harm Shadow.

- That makes sense why Amelia is so good at controlling her wolf. She had time to practice it.

And I thought I was so special getting my Hunter so early. - Sebastian hung his head low, pretending to be disappointed.

-You are so childish sometimes. - Alice was laughing at the men's behavior. I can't believe that you are 24 already.

- I can't believe you are...- Sebastian looked at the witch with a smirk.

- Don't you dare say that out loud, or you will regret it.

-You are so severe. - Sebastian chuckled. He knew very well, not to mention Alice's age. It was like walking on the thin ice.

- What do you think about her? - Alice asked again.

- Can't say for sure. She is not very talkative. That is unusual for a woman. Of course, it can be caused by her past. That is not something that anyone would like to talk about. She doesn't have many good memories, as I noticed. But what I can see is that she is happy here.

Since I met her, she has been more peaceful, and she is not screaming so much at night.

-You have heard it? - Alice gave him a surprised look.

- Are you kidding me? I have a werewolf hearing. Even humans would hear it. And I know you are always by her when she has a nightmare. - Sebastian squeezed Alice's hand gently.

-How could I not do it? No one should be alone at a time like that. This girl went through a lot in her life.

-That is why she needs to protect herself. In a year, she will be ready, I guess.

- I am glad to hear that. - Alice said quietly.

- I have lost everyone in my life, just like her. I often think about my family and the sibling I lost. She had a similar past. Only I was lucky because you found me and raised me. She ended up on some shitty pack where all she got was abuse.

Maybe that is why I feel the connection with her, and I don't know ...- Sebastian seemed lost in his thoughts.

- You are a good person, Sebastian. - Alice looked at the man who was like a son to her.

- Oh, keep telling me when Amelia curses me during our training. - he said with a small smile, but Alice knew that he was still thinking about the day when he lost everyone he ever loved.

- You will get well with her, eventually. Maybe from time to time, you should try to talk to her not only about training. I am sure one day she will open. - The witch was encouraging him like she always did.

- Probably, as soon as she stops wishing me a painful death.

- Your training sounds like fun. I need to see one. - Alice was laughing.

- You are welcome to join if you wish. Soon I am going to bring some punching bags for her to practice.

- How long are you going to stay with her?

- As long as necessary, unless my help will be needed in the Crescent Moon Pack. By that time, I hope she will be in much better shape.

- That's good. She needs someone like you who will teach her to trust people again.

- Is it not what you are doing all time? - Sebastian gave her a wink.

- I was thinking about someone at a more appropriate age. - Alice said.

- Are you admitting you are too...- Men looked at the witch.

- Sebastian !! Get out of my eyes, now... Alice's eyes started to turn black.

- I am leaving- Sebastian shouted and quickly left the kitchen.

-Good... - Alice smirked, taking a sip of her tea.
