The Human and Her Alpha

Self defence

Rachael

Carl runs over to us,

“Hey dad” he nods to his dad and looks at you “hey sis” he smiles at me

“hi” I look behind him as a couple of men are fighting each other

“do you want a go?” he nods his head in the direction of the fighting “you can spare with me” he brother looks at me with pleading eyes.

“you’re only asking me so you can kick my ass in front of all these people” I smirk at him; he throws his head back and laughs out loud

“you really think dad will let me kick your ass?” he looks at his dad who’s got a scowl on his face “come on I’ll show you some moves” I look at dad and he shakes his head

“Carl, she doesn't have the strength you do. You could hurt her” for some reason I get annoyed at his comment

“no, it’s ok I’ll have a go” she smiles at her dad then follows carl, he runs ahead and stops at an empty patch of grass

“don’t worry, I’m not gunna hurt you. Right stand there, feet apart, arms up.” He shows me how to stand, i positions my feet and put my arms up. I try to calm my breathing, I hate fighting, I’m not a confrontational sort of person I'd rather just run away than injure someone, but I know I can hold my own. I take another deep breath

“right I’m going to come at you and you need to block me best you can” he sniggers, he runs straight at me and some sort of instinct takes over and with my dominant hand i use my palm and strike straight at Carl’s nose, then I pull it back and jab him in the chest with my left hand then quickly kick him with my right leg and he falls on his arse. When I realise what I’ve done I run over to Carl, his eyes are wide open and his mouth is hanging open he looks shocked then starts laughing, dad comes up behind me and claps

‘how did you know to do that?’ I help carl get up; I check his face there’s a small amount of blood under his nose, but he just wipes it on his hand.

“are you ok? I’m so sorry” I start to fuss over him, but he bats my hands away

“sorry? That was ace. My sis just kicked my ass. I’m not going to go easy on you next time. How did you know to do that?” he’s smiling at me with a genuine look in his eyes

“mum made me take self-defence classes” I look at him and dad “since that wolf broke into the house… I know how to shoot as well” I smile at my dad. One of the guys from training walks up to us

“this is Shane” Carl introduces me

“maybe she can train with us sometime Beta” he looks at me and his eyes sparkle, it sends a shiver down my spine but not in a nice way. In a creepy pervy uncle way “see if she can keep up with us” he smirks at me, I try to mask my uncomfortableness from him and smile sweetly

“sure, why not? Not like I have anything better to do” I reply

“you can train but not just yet, I’d like you to get more settled and when you do train you will only be sparing with me or Kane or Matt. No one else!” Carls voice sounds deeper with a lot of authority I just stare at him then look at my dad who is smiling. He looks so proud of Carl, it’s nice having someone look out for me even though he’s younger than me I still look like his younger sister. Everyone in unison shouts “yes beta” I look at dad and his eyes are glazed over just as Matts did earlier.

“RayRay I’m afraid we have to cut the tour short. Somethings come up. I’ll walk you back to the house” he shares a look with Carl but doesn't say anything else. They both look worried but mask it quickly. I says bye to Carl and the rest of the warriors and walk back to the pack house.

“will you be ok?” he asks me, he looks concerned like he thinks I’m going to run away I nod and smile at him. He walks upstairs and goes towards what I assume is his office. I realise I have no idea where him, DeeDee and Arabella live, I know he’s not beta anymore so he shouldn't live in the pack house. I make a metal note to ask him where he lives, I suppose I’ll have to move in with them until… well I don’t know when until is. When I think about my future, I have no idea what’s going to happen do I stay in the pack now that I know about them, will I be allowed to stay here, will I need to get to a job, well obviously I’ll need to get a job I can’t just sit around doing nothing. I need to ask dad about getting a job, I really should write down these questions so I remember to ask him when I see him.

I look around and have no idea where anything is. Dad said there was a library on this floor so let’s looks for that. I walks through a door and enter a huge living room with six couches and a massive tv on the wall, there’s decorative animal heads on the walls, I am not a fan of them, no one needs to see that in my opinion. I notice a big leather chair in the corner of the room, it looks so comfy, i climb into the chair and I just sink into the material, it’s so comfy I rest my head on the arm of the chair and close my eyes. All of a sudden, I’m exhausted, so I think if I just close my arms for a few mins I’ll be able to process all the information I'd been given today.
