The Lost Warrior Princess

Catching Wolves

Luna’s POV

When I woke up in the morning, I was in bed alone. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, trying to clear my blurry vision and stretch out my body. Feeling my joints pop, a small groan escaping my lips in appreciation.

Sitting up in the bed looking around the room, Nicolas was nowhere to be seen. I got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom, going about my usual morning routine. I finish brushing my hair and teeth and step out of the bathroom to be greeted by Alice and Lily sitting on the bed. Both with large grins on their faces, talking quietly to each other.

“Hey girls, you ready for training this morning?” I asked them as I grab my work out gear and started changing.

Alice has seen me in my underwear plenty of times and I had no reason to worry about Lily seeing me almost naked either.

After putting on my black leggings and tank top, I sat on the edge of the bed to put on my socks and runners.

Lily had groaned at the mention of training, it must not be her favourite thing to do or it was because of the plan to out the she-wolves that attacked her.

“Yeah, so thrilled.” Lily said sarcastically under her breath. Alice and I both laughed at her behaviour. “Before we go to the torture field of death, did your mates treat you like some kind of sweet dessert they just couldn’t get enough of?”

“Gareth was very sweet, we got to know each other a little better. I didn’t realise that this bond would work so quickly and that I would instantly want to share all my life’s secrets with him? Hey, why didn’t you ever mention that you were all friends growing up while we were at training?” Alice said directing her question to me. I looked up from my feet and shrugged, I knew that they would have talked about how he and I knew each other in more detail at some point.

“Well, I was worried that when the recruiters came that if they found out I was friends with the future Alpha that they would try to use me against them. So I kept it to myself to keep Gareth and Leo safe along with everyone in the pack.” I replied. I could see she was processing what I had said and after a while she nodded in understanding. Alice was good at understanding where people were coming from when it came to keeping information to themselves. She probably would have done the same thing if she had been in my position growing up.

“What about you Luna? Did you and Nicolas have some ‘bonding’ time last night?” Lily asked changing the subject. I flushed a little at the memory of how we were intimate last night then a thought came to me.

“Lily, why are you asking me? I know you can smell it.” I blurted out before I could even think about what just came out of my mouth. Alice looks at me in complete shock. In all the time she had known me, I had never been interested in guys until I met Nicolas.

Lily burst out laughing, I knew she would have smelt it as soon as she asked. The fact she didn’t say anything showed that she wanted us to say something to her instead of making us feel even more uncomfortable by blurting out that she knew we have done some s****l activities last night. I was glad she didn't just blurt it out, that would have been embarrassing. Not that this was any less embarrassing.

“Of course I knew, I could smell it from the other side of the door. He must have done a really good job last night for that to happen. I personally love when Leo does this thing with his. . .”

“La La La La La, I’m not listening!” I quickly place my hands on my ears to avoid hearing about Leo doing anything s****l with anyone. Lily and Alice both started laughing hysterically, tears running down their cheeks and faces red from laughing so hard. “Come on, let go get us some power hungry she-wolves.” I say rolling my eyes.

They both got up while continuing to laugh. As we made our way to the training field, we stopped by the kitchen and each grabbed an apple and a bottle of water.

There was no point eating a large meal before training because nine times out of ten you just throw it back up anyway. We ate our apples on the walk over to the ‘torture field’ as Lily called it, we talked about how we were going to fall all over our mates and flirt with them in front of the other females around the field and see what ones come and give us a hard time. It was going to be a waiting game to see if they took the bait, with how power hungry and self-centred they sounded it wouldn’t take long.

As we neared the field a large group was standing in the middle, my anger and jealousy flares when I caught sight of a group of females surrounding Gareth, Leo and Nicolas.

“It’s game time ladies, time to get your game faces on.” I said in a hushed tone as we drew closer. Once we reach the three men, I saw a she-wolf moving to place her hand on Nicolas’ arm. She doesn’t make contact, I moved to swat her hand away and stand in front of him and glared at the she-wolf.

“Do NOT touch the Prince.” I said making sure to put emphasis on the word not, she looks me up and down before laughing to her friends. This just made me even more infuriated, how dare she laugh at me like I’m nothing. I stepped closer to her only to have a strong hand placed on my elbow stopping me from beating that smug look off her fake face.

“Thank you for being so hospitable ladies but I’m afraid I will have to decline your offer of a tour of the pack lands.” Nicolas said in a polite but stern voice. The fake blonde bimbo in front of me tried to take a step closer to put her hand on his chest, but I step between them again glaring at the she-wolf like she was the dirt I walk on. He was my mate and no way was I okay with her putting her dirty hands on what was MINE.

Wow, I wasn’t sure where that came from but hey I was right, he was my mate.

“What’s your problem b***h? Why don’t you go back to the kitchen where you belong?” She spat at me.

“Excuse me, but I would reframe from referring to my companion here as anything other than her title. This is Captain Luna of the human rogue hunters, I expect that everyone show her the respect she deserves.” Nicolas said with a smile on his face that didn’t meet his eyes, he was furious inside that someone had disrespected me in his presence. If it weren’t for the fact that we had to find the she-wolves that had hurt Lily, he probably would have killed her then and there, and I had a feeling that this fake barbie was involved.

“Stacy, you will show respect to our guests is that clear?” Gareth said walking closer to us.

“Yes Alpha Gareth, crystal clear.” She said with an innocent smile plastered on her face. She turned to her friends and walked back to the group, swaying her hips from side to side as she went.

I turned to Nicolas and Gareth, both looking after the female that had walked away, after they deamed she was far enough away not to hear them Nicolas looked at me.

“Are you alright my little warrior? If you say the word, I will snap her neck here and now.” He said stepping closer to me. I shook my head to tell him that he didn’t need to do that. “ I must say though, your jealousy is quite a turn on.” He whispered so that only those close enough would be able to hear.

Oh he was so adorable when he was people protective. I wouldn’t let him fight my battles for me though.

“Once we know who it was that harmed Lily, if it happens to be anyone that has been disrespectful to your mate Prince Nicolas I will personally see to their punishment, You have my word.” Gareth said looking stern. My guess was he was trying to make it look like he was reprimanding me in front of the females that had been trying to hang off them.

“Play a long, I have linked Lily to send Alice over and I want you and Alice to flirt with us. It will make them jealous and they wont be able to control their anger for long. Through out the training you stay close to your mate Luna, Alice will stay close to me.” Gareth said in a hushed voice.

I nod my head and gently run my fingers up Nicolas’ arm. I didn’t have to pretend to flirt with him, I would do it any chance I got. I would make it obvious to that he was mine even if he wasn’t wearing my mark yet.

Alice walked over and started flirting with Gareth straight off the bat. She was very good at it, maybe I should have asked her for pointers? Because what ever she was doing, was working.

Not long after we had started we could hear low growls coming from behind us and knew that our plan was starting to work. After a little flirting, Gareth signalled for everyone to start their training.

Training started with a five kilometre run in human form for the wolves and us. I ran next to Nicolas with Alice on his other side. With Gareth being the Alpha he and Leo were leading the run.

After the five kilometre run the werewolves shifted into their wolves and did another ten kilometres. Lily joined Leo and Gareth at the front of the group, her pure white wolf was beautiful. Her fur seemed to glow in the sunlight.

Once they were done with their run they joined our group back on the field. Leo instructed everyone to pair off to spar. A lot of the she-wolves came over to ask Gareth and Nicolas to spar with them, trying to gain any chance they could to get close to them. They both declined telling them they already had a sparring partner, a lot of them were polite and walked away, others not so much. I laughed internally at how desperate some of them were. I was paired with Nicolas, it would be interesting to see how this sparring went considering the last time we ended up tangled on the ground after I had tripped.

Nicolas and I took our places and waited for Leo to announce for us to begin. Once Leo yelled for everyone to start Nicolas ran at me swinging his arm, I blocked it with my own. I knew he was holding back his strength so that he wouldn’t hurt me but he wasn’t holding back his hundred and thirty years of fighting skills. I kicked my leg at his side connecting with a loud thud, I had a feeling he let me do that. Nicolas and I kept sparring like this for most of the training session before I got the opening I wanted.

He had started to relax, not really making an effort to anticipate my moves. It had started to irritate me that he wasn’t actually trying to beat me.

As he swung to hit me, I ducked down and dodged the blow, flicking my leg out while I was still down and swept his legs out from under him.

I quickly jumped on him straddling his lap, balling my hand up in a fist and bring it down to his face. In the last second I stop not making contact, his eyes turned pitch black and I felt his c**k harden under me.

“I win.” I smile down at him, enjoying my victory.

“I let you win, how could I not let the most stunning woman out here beat me in a fight. What kind of Prince would that make me?” He smiled back. I could feel eyes burning into the back of my head as I got up off of him and offered him a hand to get up. I knew he didn’t need it but I just liked the skin to skin contact.

“Thank you for the Sparring practice Captain.” He said placing a soft kiss on the back of my hand.

“You’re welcome Prince Nicolas, you should really pay more attention to your opponent though during a fight, I shouldn’t have been able to get you on the ground. You underestimated me and my abilities, you need to remember what I do for a living.” I reply trying to be professional with so many eyes and ears on us.

“Thank you Captain but may I say, how am I meant to focus on your movements when all I can focus on is your beauty?” He said with a charming smile. I knew that he was playing along with the plan but gods was he a smooth talker. I blushed a little before Alice came over and dragged me over to where Lily was sitting on a bench with two workout towels and our bottles of water. We took a seat next to her, and had a drink while waiting for someone to try and start a fight with us about being so close with the Alpha and Prince. We didn’t have to wait very long before the same Bimbo from the start of the training session came over with two other women.

“Well well well, what do we have here? The blind b***h and the human whores.” The one called Stacy said with disgust lacing her voice. She looked like a kids barbie doll, tall and thin with fake boobs and face. Her blonde hair was pulled into a perfect high pony tail, it didn’t look like she had even done any working out at all. The other two giggled behind her like hyenas. One was tall and thin with bright red hair and freckles all over her face and body while the other was a more curvy brunette that was very gifted in the boob department. All three of them looked pretty in their own right but the ring leader Stacy looked faker then the other two.

“Oh look girls, its the bimbo brigade.” Alice said causing Lily and I to laugh.

“What did you say you little skank?” Stacy growled out. Her eyes landing on Lily, pure hatred flowing off her as she looked at our new friend. “Look girls, the defective little b***h thought that was funny. Maybe we need to teach her another lesson on respecting your superiors.” She spat at Lily.

I stood up eyeing her with rage, there was no way I was going to let her talk to my friend like that or more accurately my new sister.

“Threaten your Beta female again and I will have to teach You a lesson on respect.” I spat out through gritted teeth.

The three of them laughed at my threat, this time the brunette stepped forward pushing her sharp claw into my shoulder.

“A weak little human w***e? Teach us a lesson, don’t embarrass yourself. We are werewolves, we could easily tear you to shreds without even blinking.” Her claw dug in a little deeper before she removed it, I could feel the small trickle of blood starting to run from the little wound she had just made. “What do you think Stacy? Lacy? We teach these three a lesson about who is at the top of the food chain?” The brunette laughed.

So the red head was called Lacy, talk about rhyming names.

“I think so Stella, I think they need a lesson in where their place really is. At the bottom, as slaves to those who outrank them.” Stacy grinned like a maniac.

Alice and I looked at each other before bursting into laughter again. These three had no idea who they were really messing with. A royal and their future leader, I just hoped that Lily was able to link all of that to Gareth and Leo.

“Is it just me or do these three remind you of tweedle dee, tweedle dumb and tweedle dumber?” Alice laughed causing Lily and I to burst into hysterics, the look of absolute fury that covered their faces was priceless. They took a step closer with their canines coming down out of their mouth and their eyes changing, their nails turned into claws. Their wolves had started to come forward.

I grinned at Alice, this was going to be interesting. I just hoped that she would be able to get Lily out of the way so that we could take care of these three pathetic sluts.

Stacy lunged at me, claws aiming for my throat. She wasn’t moving like a trained warrior would, she was moving like a rabid dog. Not thinking before she acted, trying to go straight for the kill and not actually focusing on what my next move was going to be. I swung my leg high and my foot made contact with her face causing a loud crack to sound, gaining the attention of everyone still on the field. Stacy and Stella were both trying to take swipes at me but weren’t able to make contact. Lacy was already pinned on the ground with Alice punching her repeatedly until she was unconscious on the ground. I took my foot and brought it down on Stella’s knee, letting out a loud howl of pain she fell to the ground with her knee bending in the wrong direction. It was only Stacy

Alice and I stood together, Stacy eyed us like we were lost little lambs being hunted.

By now her wolf had control of her human body, her breathing was harsh from the broken nose I inflicted on her.

“I’m going to rip your throats out, I’m going to rip your insides out and leave them for the animals to feast on.” Her wolf growled out.

“STAND DOWN!” Gareth bellowed in his Alpha tone causing all the wolves to drop to their knees and bare their necks in submission. A whine left Stacy’s mouth as her wolf retreated back into her mind. Her wolf must know that she crossed a line and be cowering in the far reaches of Stacy’s mind now.

“Alpha, thank the gods, they attacked us. It came out of nowhere.” Stacy whimpered out. Wow, she really thought that she could lie to her Alpha? She must be crazy.

“Enough!” Gareth yelled.

“But, Alpha! Look what they. . .”she was cut off by what was said next.

“Stacy Wills, Stella Smith and Lacy Stanley you are all to be escorted to the pack Prison for crimes against your Beta female Lily Storm, and others. You will remain there until such time as your execution. You have broken many of our laws by attacking a ranked pack members mate, the Alphas daughter of an allied pack and by attacking the humans that are here for a peace treaty. Your actions could result in a war between this pack and the humans should they wish to retaliate. Take them away.” Gareth said to some of the male wolves that had gathered. The three of them were dragged away screaming and thrashing about.

Well, that worked. Not as well as we would have liked, I wanted to get a few more blows in before we were stopped but we got the bitches that hurt Lily. We will have to go and pay them a visit after Gareth decides how long they are going to stay locked up for before being executed.

Leo wrapped his arms around Lily and started leading her to the pack house, while he whispered sweet words to her. He was such a big puppy with her, it make me thankful that Leo had been matched with someone so sweet.

Gareth and Alice followed along behind them chatting, it looked like Gareth wasn’t too happy that Alice had gotten into a physical fight with a member of the pack that she would become Luna of.

Nicolas and I followed behind them, walking close enough to occasionally brush arms with each other.

“You were amazing, but I can smell your blood. Will you allow me to fix that for you?” He asked slowly pulling me to a stop in front of him.

“I’m fine, it’s just a little scratch.” I replied, it really was nothing compared to other wounded I have had.

“My love, it may not be much to you, but it makes my inner beast want to come out and lay waste to everyone and everything that could cause you harm.” Well damn, didn’t realise it was such an issue for him.

“Well, in that case.” I said as I looked up in to his stunning eyes, “we had better fix that before you destroy the pack lands.”

He leaned closer and carefully inspected the small claw mark. Bring his mouth to my shoulder, I felt his tongue swirl over the cut.

Gods it felt amazing having his lips on my skin, I didn’t even care what part of my skin as long as he was touching me. With in seconds his soft lips were leaving my body and reality of where we were kicked in and I couldn’t help the blush that come to my face.

“Much better. Now, lets get you fed.” Nicolas said as he gently rubbed my shoulder where my now sealed claw mark was.

Nodding we started heading in the direction of all our friends.

Off to breakfast we go I guess.
