Forbidden Omega

Chapter Five

Sweat was running down between places she had never thought possible. Her baggy t-shirt was already clinging to her back with sweat and she could feel it running down into her leggings. She had dressed in what she thought would be comfortable for training in. Alla had taken up her spot in the Interior Guard Training Wednesday morning session as her sister had suggested. She was in the middle of the pack at the end of the row with Stella on her other side. She recognised alot of the fighters training around them. Of course she recognised Tristan's three elder sisters and the other Ranked Members children. By order of Alpha Trent all of the Alpha's, Beta's and Gamma's children were required to train with the Interior Guard from the age of 8.  

As the warm up was coming to a finish Alla was questioning why she had come along. She thought she was fit with farm work. She knew she was strong but already she was realising she drastically needed to work on her stamina. But she was never one to shy away from a challenge. Drinking down her water and wiping the sweat from her forehead she felt someone watching her. As she turned around she was shocked to find Tristan blatantly checking her out and smiling at her. He had taken his top off showing off his well-honed physique. She tried not to choke on her water but failed miserably as water ended up squirting out of her nose all down the front of her t-shirt. Tristan burst out laughing walking over to her to check she was ok. Quickly Alla had turned her back to him and was wiping her arm over her face to clear the mess from snorting out the water. Stella was busy rubbing her back asking if she was okay, she hadn't seen the quick interaction that had caused her sister to choke. Stella was feeling protective and that the training was too much for her sister. Alla had straightened up by the time Tristan reached the girls. "Alla you okay?" He asked with humour in his voice.

She bowed her head in respect and then looked him straight in the eye, "Yep everything is fine. Just thinking that I need to maybe start running or something to work on my stamina" If it wasn't for her already looking flushed she would of been worried Tristan would of noticed her blush.

Tristan nodded his head, "Feel free to join me in the morning, I normally do a 6 mile run before breakfast"

"I don't think I could do 6 miles straight away but once I have built up to it then yeah it would be good to have a running buddy so I can figure this out"

"Seriously you probably can, you are clearly fit Alla from working on the farm. Why don't you join me tomorrow morning and we can get an idea of where you’re at?"

Alla stood for a second thinking, "Are you sure I won't slow you down? Your more experienced in this than me but it would be good for me to see what level you are at. Then I know what I need to exceed"

"Exceed.... really.... Okay.... Beta Kirk is about to start the combat session enjoy! I will meet you here tomorrow at 4:45am for a warm up before we start." Tristan turned walking back over to his training spot. He couldn't help but smile as he drained his water bottle. He didn't think it would be that easy to get her to agree to spend time together, alone. He could feel the pull to her and hoped that she was feeling the same.

Alla turned back round to see her sister standing there with her mouth wide opened, "OMG you’re going running with Tristan, by yourself, tomorrow morning.... Alla do you realise how many girls here would die to be in that position?" 

"I am only going to get an idea of what I need to achieve over two months don't overthink this Stella. Now what do I have to do next" 

Stella took the hint, "So now its sparring time. Everyone gets paired up with people at the same level and then we go through attack sequences and the defenders just make it up as they go along if their experienced. Unexperienced fighters get 1:1 coaching so don't worry"

Beta Kirk's voice boomed across the training ground. "Pair off everyone, Alla your with me"

Alla gulped she had noticed the look in Stella’s eyes when Beta Kirk had spoken. She could tell that Stella was worried for her as she had expected to be paired with Stella so that she could be shown the ropes, instead the Beta wanted to train her. She took a deep breath and slowed down her breathing. Bonus of being trained by the Beta would be getting trained by the best. He knew about the 2 month deadline for her to qualify so she guessed that he wanted to get a measure of her. "Bring it on" she thought to herself, "You want to see who I am and what I am capable of - prepared to be shocked"

Beta Kirk came over with wraps for Alla. He showed her how to wrap her hands. "You only need to do this for the first few sessions. Once you have your wolf your injuries will heal quickly"

Using one of the other Interior Guards Beta Kirk showed her a basic attack and the relative defence sequence. Alla studied both sets of the movement Beta Kirk walked her through both. Once through the attack and once through the defence. Alla focussed on mirroring the defensive stances she could she around her. Beta Kirk nodded at her to signal for her to ready herself. She managed to block the first three punches in the sequence. The forth move, a round house kick to her abdomen, she didn't get a full block in place so was caught in her ribs. Stella had seen this out of the corner of her eye. Watching her sister crumple to the ground she fought the urge to run to her side. Before she could second guess herself Stella was amazed to witness Alla get up dust herself off from where she had been crumpled on the ground holding her ribs and coughing. Before anyone could approach her she stood up shaking herself off looking Beta Kirk in the eyes, "Again" she demanded. She took herself back to the starting position. Stella was starting to realise that she had underestimated her sister, slightly.

After a few more knocks to the ground by the Beta Alla stood facing him ready to go again. He spoke clearly to her, "Alla I am not going to hold back anymore"

Alla tried to remain calm thinking that he was already fighting at his normal strength. She kept repeating in her mind, "Bigger they are harder they fall, bigger they are harder they fall, bigger they are harder they fall. Keep calm use your brain, keep calm, keep calm" 

After a deep breath and opening her eyes she focussed on Beta Kirk. He nodded and started the attack at full power and speed. He pushed Alla hard he wanted to see where her breaking point was. Given he was going to be heavily involved in Alla's training over the next 2 months he needed to know what she was capable of. He didn't think that this was a good idea but the Alpha and Luna were adamant this was to happen so he just needed to follow his orders. He was impressed that every time he did catch her, she got back up shook herself off, no moans groans or complaints. She kept coming back for more and more but each time she had improved and was not being tagged by him as frequently or effectively. For someone who was not a fighter this was impressive. 

His focus waivered for a second and she saw her opportunity and she went on the offensive. Beta Kirk was shocked when he found himself looking at the sky from the flat of his back. She had managed to sweep his feet out from underneath him and put him on his butt. The whole training ground went silent and everyone stopped and was looking over. Alla was feeling quite pleased with herself. He had said to her if she saw an opportunity to take it. She stood over the Beta extending her hand to help him back up. He chuckled and took her hand, as he was about to get up he used his weight to pull her over and flip her onto her back. She burst out laughing, she couldn’t help it. That’s what she got for thinking she was starting to get the hang of this fighting thing. Everyone training had started to gather in a circle around the Beta and Alla. Alla got herself up and brushed herself down as Beta Kirk took a stance, "Your turn to attack" he said with a grin on his face. There was alot of murmuring within the gathering crowd it wasn't every day that they saw the Beta bested by an Omega. Alla hadn't noticed them as she was so focussed on executing the skills to the best of her ability. She took her stance and nodded to him attacking in the sequence he had taught her and drilled her in this session. She wanted to at least get one hit on target . She quickly changed the speed of the attack which Beta Kirk adjusted to easily blocking Alla's strikes. If she wanted to hit him she needed to do something different. Something he didn’t expect. She changed the height of her stance faked an attack to his left then as Beta Kirk moved to defend she adjusted attacking his right side with a swift roundhouse kick. It connected perfectly with Beta Kirk's exposed rib sending him 10 feet to the side with a loud crack.

Instantly she stood and ran straight towards Beta Kirk as he was lying breathless and groaning on his back. She reached him he was already starting to try and stand. Before she could say anything she felt her arms being grabbed and her being dragged backwards as she registered the low growls coming from the Interior Guards closing in around her with fists curled at their sides.

"ENOUGH Release her at once"

The growling stopped immediately as the crowd started to part allowing Alpha Trent to walk unhindered towards his Beta. The crowd were watching for the reactions from the Ranked Members. Beta Kirk was still trying to get to his feet. Alla stood stock still with her eyes to the floor waiting to receive punishment for assaulting Beta Kirk. Alpha Trent bent down, she heard him chuckle at his Beta and put his arm under his friend to help him up to his feet.  

"Raise your eyes and look at your Beta", she slowly raised her head to find Beta Kirk was looking in her eyes, "I am impressed young lady, you have great instincts" 

"Beta Kirk, Sir, I am so sorry I didn't know my own strength. Please let me know what my punishment will be"

"I want to see you back in practice tomorrow morning and every morning for the next 2 months. Once your finished with your run you come straight here. You will be training 1:1 with me."

Her face gave away the shock that he wanted her to return and train as her punishment, it also meant that he had made the decision for her regarding the training.

"Alla over the next 2 months, after you have shifted, your wolf will have to heal your broken bones as we train. That will be your punishment" Beta Kirk turned with his Alpha supporting him.

Alla overheard the Alpha telling the Beta that he was impressed that an Omega non-fighter had managed to bust his ribs. She picked up Beta Kirk saying that he wanted to go to the medical wing to get the ribs checked. She watched as their forms retreated back through the crowd heading towards the pack house. She started to feel exposed as they left the training ground awaiting to be attacked by the remaining Interior Guard. They had not been impressed at the fact she had managed to break the Beta’s ribs. No one else had sustained any broken bones from the training just some cuts, bruises.

The hairs on her arms stood up, as she looked up to see who had moved to stand in front of her getting ready mentally to defend herself if needed. She was met with a huge grinning face of Tristan, “Told you didn’t I. Your capable of more than you realised” He said close to her ear. She felt the goosebumps forming down her neck and arm as she found herself closing her eyes enjoying him being this close. She couldn't stop the grin on her lips as she then realised she had the entire training ground watching her every move. She quickly stepped back and cleared her throat. Looking around the training ground she realised everyone was trying discreetly not to look her way but they couldn’t help it. They were all packing their bags and no one was showing any hostility to her. Tristan picked up on her confusion. “Interior Guards are strong protectors. You hurt someone they protect with their lives. Don’t take it personal they were doing what they have been trained to. They don’t know you yet, but once they do they will all welcome you. I can see someone waiting to come speak to you. I am going to go pack my stuff up. Always knew you were an ass kicker” He walked away

She spotted Stella in the group who was making her way to her when all of a sudden there was a female standing next to her. She awkwardly turned around to see who was standing next to her and held her breath when she realised it was Beta Kirks youngest Daughter who was in some of her classes. 

"You broke my Dad's ribs", the girl said to Alla looking at her square in the eye. Alla automatically went to a defensive stance waiting to be attacked. The girl burst out laughing, "I haven't seen him get his ass handed to him in a very very long time, I am Astrid pleased to meet you" She extended her hand out to Alla. Alla regained her composure stood up and shook Astrid's hand.

"I am Alla, nice to meet you Astrid. We have a few classes together at school"

Astrid nodded, "Are you following in Stella's ass kicking steps?"

"Something like that. I am really sorry about your Dad I had no idea I was strong enough to hurt a Ranked Member"

"He will be completely fine by dinner time - wolf healing is epic!"

"Training is over for the morning everyone - well done. Go get ready for your daily duties", Tristan called to the surround crowd.

The Interior Guards that had attended training were confused as to why a non-warrior background Omega was attending their session. Beta Kirk had mind linked everyone before this morning’s session to advise that there would be an additional member at training and no one was to approach or mess with her in any way as she was there at the request of the Alpha. This was only enhanced when Tristan had walked over and spoken to Alla. Then as Alla and Stella were packing their training bags, ensuring everyone heard he reminded Alla of their engagement tomorrow "Don't forget 4:45am tomorrow". He kept on walking past her heading back to the pack house.

A few of the guards on the training ground came over and Stella introduced them all to Alla as the Ranked Members children gathered their stuff together and started to leave the training ground. Alla returned the wave from Astrid as she was leaving.

Alla and Stella started walking home. Stella invited Alla in for breakfast with her and her family. Alla happily accepted. It wasn't often that she was given time off from the farm work which meant she could spend time indulging her family members. 

After the short walk to the house entering the back door training bags were dropped as the smell of coffee and pancakes wafted through the air.

"I knew I married the right guy" Stella smiled at Chase as she went forward and stole the pancake off of his plate stuffing it in her mouth in one go with an appreciative groan as he kissed her forehead. He shook his head and waved to Alla with the spatula in his hand.

Alla laughed and nodded to Chase. She went to the breakfast bar and sat beside Grigor who was in his high chair. As he looked up with his cheeks filled with pancakes his eyes lit up when he saw Alla, "Lala, some want" He held out a piece of pancake in his chubby little hands. Alla looked at the pancake covered in goodness knew what and smiled at her nephew, "Hey buddy thanks for the offer but Daddy is making Lala her own. You have it, it looks super yummy!"

He shoved the extra piece of pancake into his mouth and chewed away. 

As breakfast progressed Stella filled Chase in on the mornings training session. She had been impressed by her sisters ability to pick up the moves quickly, ignore the surrounding crowd when everyone moved close and also her stubbornness at getting back up every time she was knocked down. She was seeing a side of her sister that she had never seen before and had smiled standing next to her at the end of the session introducing her to the other Interior Guards. There had never been a 'non warrior" Omega who had come to the session for as long as Alpha Trent had been in charge. So to have Alla there and kick ass during the session she was so proud.

Once breakfast was finished Alla waved goodbye to her sister, Chase and Grigor as she started making her way home. 

Her mind wandered as she started planning what to do with the rest of her day. It was her 18th Birthday on Friday which would be followed by her first shift on Friday night at midnight. Two days away but that meant two running sessions with Tristan and the sessions with the Interior Guard. She had already decided she needed to spend some of her money on training clothes. She had plenty of jean shorts, flannel shirts and a few pairs of well-worn chucks, but not much in the way of proper training leggings or tight fitting tops. She had noticed the female fighters all wore their hair braided and tight clothes. Lots of them during the sessions ended up taking off their tank tops and just fought in their sports bras. When she had asked Stella about it Stella explained during training that braiding their hair meant their opponents couldn't pull their hair and the tight clothes were for the same reason. Beta Kirk had already commanded her to attend training for the next 2 months as a 'punishment' for breaking his ribs. She was secretly glad as she had found herself enjoying the session the harder and harder it had gotten. She had been so focussed on defence and attack that she had forgotten how fatigued she had felt at the beginning.

As she continued walking home she crossed the river that cut through their pack lands. They housing for the Omega families was spaced out around the pack lands. Her family had chosen a house at the other side of the river as it was centrally placed for all of the family members to attend their work. As she was stepping off the bridge she caught a scent of sandalwood and lemongrass in wind that she didn't recognise. She didn't have her wolf yet but she could pick up scents when they were strong enough. She stopped scanning the clearing that surrounded her. The start of the thick wooded area was at least five hundred metres away from her. She didn't see anything, shrugging her shoulders she carried on walking. The scent didn't cause her to feel fear or alarm. It was the opposite it made her feel calm and happy. 

After a few minutes she was at the door to her home and turned again with the feeling that someone was watching her. She couldn't see anyone and the scent that she had smelt just moments ago had passed. Without another thought she went into her house shutting the door behind her thinking of where she could go to buy her new training clothes.
