Sweaty Training

Kayla

I’ve been training for the past few days since the WereChallenges will be next week.

The teachers have on our case the whole time about how we have to make sure our wolves are not too out shape to compete.There’s a training field created fo this reason. it is located in a remote, wooded area part of the campus to provide privacy and seclusion.

It is also enclosed with a strong, tall fence to prevent any werewolves from escaping during their transformation just in case they affected by some scent making them want to go rogue. The ground is covered in soft, natural terrain, some parts dirt, some grass, to allow for running and agility training.

There are obstacle courses, agility courses, and mock challenges designed to improve our werewolves physical strength, speed, and endurance. Additionally, there are areas for combat training and sparring with other werewolves to practice our fighting skills and teamwork.

It also includes areas for practicing control during the full moon, such as meditation spaces or calming environments to help us manage our transformations and emotions.

WereChalleges are simply created to test how strong we are and it’s good for the pack if at least one member makes it to the last challenge. They say these challenges can be brutal and students have been severely hurt during most of them throughout the years.

Honestly I’m scared.

At least I know if I don’t make it to the last challenge my sister will. She is strong and capable and she looks really good even when she is dripping with sweat.

“Girl how do manage to look like that when you’re all sweaty and sticky” Mackenzie whines.

“I’m just perfect” Kali grins flipping her, still neat braid over her shoulder.

“Yeah well it’s annoying. Look at me, I look like an overweight pig right now” Noah grumbles flinging a few leaves at her.

she just smiles as Mackenzie and Noah go on and on about how unfair it is. It is unfair that she looks this gorgeous even though she just ran more than twenty miles and then started spontaneously sparing with a random guy before she joined us here.

While I on the other hand look like an old person who has been sick for years with sweaty running down every crevice of my body.

Noah is right, it is annoying but also I’m annoyed because me and Kali haven’t talk much since we started training together. Not that we have been avoiding each other, we’ve just been avoiding the elephant in the room. Or rather the elephant in the training field.

“God my balls are sweaty. . .like I can feel the sweat dripping down”

“Ewww Noah. No one want’s to hear about the sweat dripping down your balls”Kali flings leaves back at him.

“What? Sweat is dripping down my balls though” he shrugs.

“Can you two stop saying that! people are staring” I chance a look around us but no one seems to have heard anything.

“Seriously if doing these challenges was not compulsory I don’t think any of us would volunteer to be part of them” he mumbles choosing to stop talking about his sweaty ball sack, thank god. Kali stands up from the ground we are all sitting on and starts to stretch her legs.

“I would” Says Kali still stretching her legs.

“Only borderline psychotic people would, that’s all I have to say about that”Mackenzie says as she joins in on the leg stretching.

“Oh f**k off. I’m not psychotic some of us just like the adrenaline rush we get from things like this. It’s nice to win against big bad alphas who think they’re all that, just because they have a d**k and I don’t. Makes them either want to kill or f**k me and that right there is why don’t mind getting my hands dirty.” She points a finger at us “making big bad alphas cry is my sole purpose in life”

“Yeah but like can’t we just tune it down on the brutality, some of us are not Alphas”says Noah.

“Yeah but there’s a reason you were admitted to this school. They don’t just take anyone. You have to have be really good at something and all I’m saying is why not use that to your advantage.”

Mackenzie sighs saying “I’m afraid she’s right. My parents would be so proud if I at least make it to the final challenge. They’d probably let me go to Paris like I’ve been wanting”

My dad would probably be proud too I guess. But mostly I think he’d just be surprised that I was the one who won instead of my sister. Or even my brother.

Which fair I guess seeing as I’m here still struggling to breathe and Kali is there doing all kinds of splits.

Noah gets up while saying “Mine wouldn’t give a s**t but let’s not get into that trauma right now. Should we shift and run some more”

“Yeah let’s”I reluctantly agree. And get up to start shifting.

Kali grabs me“Kayla wait. Can we talk?”

“Right now?”I ask

“Yes right now. I’ve been waiting for the right time but I’ve come to understand that we won’t get that anytime soon, so I decided it’s now or never.”

“Okay fine”

“Well first I want to say even though I don’t really understand what’s wrong with me helping my sister when a creep just touched her”she exhaled loudly not looking at me in the eyes“I’m really sorry”

So we’re getting right to it, fine by me. “I really thought you out of everyone would understand that I hate feeling like I can’t take care of myself. I’m not some damsel in distress Kali. I was born an alpha. Not by mistake. I don’t need you, Alvin or dad treating me like I’m some fragile egg that’s going to break if not handled with care”

“I get it. I said I’m sorry. He just annoyed me and I let my wolf take charge. I care about you Kayla because well. . .you’re nice. And nice people get taken advantage of in our world”

“Don’t worry about me I can take care of myself.”

She bites her lip in her usual nervous gesture then says “Okay”

I know she wants to say more, I do too but this is not the time nor place for this so we both drop it.

I pull her into me, hugging her for a while. I’m not too mad now because I understand that I was the one who always let people especially my family fight my battles while I sat back and watched. But now is the time for me to take charge. Getting a job was the first step the second one is making everyone realise I’m not a fragile egg who needs to be babied by everyone.

“Thank you for punching that guy by the way. Made me shiver with glee when he realised what you just did”I say after a while.

“It was my pleasure”she smiles.

“Let’s catch up with the others”

“Wanna see who catches up first”

“Sure”

We both shift and our wolves start running.

I win.

And the feeling makes me feel really good. And then it hits me. If I want people to treat me with respect I have to be the one to win these challenges.

With that plan in mind I proceed to leave the others in the dust too.
