The Awakening of the Crowned Wolf

CHAPTER NINE – TRAINING BEGINS

As I rolled around on the bed, it started sprinkling over my head, but not the kind you're thinking of. The rain outside turned into a storm as a voice yelled" Wake up.

Opening my eyes, I saw rain sprinkling on my face. What the HECK is going on, Alora?

Alora's snickering. "That'll teach you not to set your alarm. It could have been worse, Alexi. I could have carried you in nothing but your t-shirt and pants."

Suddenly, the sprinkling of water stopped when Alora snapped her fingers.

Throwing my legs over the bed, pulling my t-shirt down to cover my lacy black panties. Screaming out of embarrassment, I see Nicolas leaning against the open door.

A smirk spreads across Nicolas' face as he watches what's happened. Nicolas chuckles. "Looks like Princess needs more discipline."

"By the way, those black panties are so sexy."

I threw a pillow at Nicolas, and it hits his head. What an arse. My face was red like a beet, and I was blushing all over.

As Nicolas walks towards me, he stares, looking deep into my eyes, and then starts wiggling his eyebrows annoyingly. As Nicolas turns and runs, I lift my hands and levitate all the pillows from the bed and throw them at him out of my anger, causing me to turn beet red.

Alora is angry at Alexi: "What did I tell you about using your magic?" "It's like a light beacon at night saying, William I'm over here. I'm ready to die!"

"No, I'm sorry, that isn't what I wanted." Alexi looked away sheepishly. Kiki was laughing hard in the back of Alexi's mind.

While Alexi laughed inside, Kiki said, "It was funny to see his face as he ran out cowardly."

With a towel in hand, Alora headed to the bathroom. Alora grabs some black leggings and a black sports bra.

There's no need to shower before Alexi to training. That can be done afterwards. Wear these and get your butt moving!"

"Yes, drill sergeant," Alexi mutters.

Alexi! That's 30 more laps around the grinder!

I huffed as I snatched my clothes from Alora and headed to the bathroom. After putting my hair up into a ponytail, I headed downstairs, heading toward the training grounds I could see from my room.

Shirtless, Nicolas glistened with muscles under his sweat. The way he looked at me made me feel like I was at the feet of Adonis. My mind was filled with naked visions of Nicolas thanks to Kiki. I'm screaming, 'Kiki, stop!' Kiki laughs and purrs, "Can you tell me you haven't thought about it?" Uggghh, I lock Kiki into my subconscious.

There was a sly grin on his face, and he winked.

As Alora approaches Alexandria, she points toward the field where Nicolas is training. "Alexandria, you'll train with Nicolas."

Nicolas leans forward, looking into my eyes as if he were planning to kiss me, then he flips me over and pins me to the ground. "Let nothing or anyone distract you, even when you're adoring me." He laughed.

I turned about 50 shades of various hues of red.

As Nicolas continued, "You have been spoiled, pampered, an only child. Protected while others laid their lives on the line, you were a Princess. Your parents handed everything down to you. Now you have to learn to fight and not to worry about your pretty nails."

Fumes were rolling off my back. How dare he say those things to me? I am boiling with anger; my hands are emitting sparks. At that point, Nicolas slammed me to the ground by jumping over me and grabbing me from behind.

"Lesson 2. No matter what anyone says, you must control your anger and not let your insecurities kill you or anyone else." Nicolas stayed on top of me until I became calm.

"We're going to wrestle. Alexi, try to get me to the ground. I doubt you'll succeed. As with soccer, you will not defeat me."

I charged him with that pompous, egotistical attitude. He will see who is the strongest. Rather than charge at him, I decided to jump over him and tackle him from the other side. In my haste to get to him, I leap over him, and instead of tackling him, he grabs me and throws me back to the ground.

Nicholas smiled at me. "I need you to know what your opponent does, automatically monitoring their weaknesses and blind spots.. Monitor them first, let them attack first, and don't go for the kill too soon."

My only goal now is revenge for that devious smile he gave me. We incorporate fight moves while training, but I keep getting pinned. My revenge is coming, I keep telling myself.

It was about 10 a.m. when we ran 5 miles in Alora's direction. I'm wondering if I get a shower when we get home. The answer is no; I watch the other wolves train instead. Showing you common mistakes and fighting stances. It's 1:00 pm by the time we're ready to leave.

I'm heading to the shower now. I'm thankful to God! When I got home, I climbed the staircase to my bathroom and soaked in my Jacuzzi bath. Although I heal fast, the jets make the process so much easier. It was warm and soft on my skin, and I could feel the water bubbling all over me. As a result of the heat, my skin is turning pink. While the water and jets massaged my aching muscles, I could have stayed all day, but that wasn't going to happen. My two tormentors, Alora and Nicolas, had other plans for me as they called for me in my room. Okay, what now?

"Get dressed!" Alora yells at me. "Can't you just say, "Please, Alora?"

As I replied, I was exhausted. "What's the deal with referring to me as Alexandria?" Alora seems to ignore her question. This resulted in me sighing in disappointment.

As Alora continues, "To practice your magic skills, we will run to a cave in the area. The White Wolf Prophecies and the history of our people will be covered along with the development of your powers once you turn 18. You will need to be ready for this moment." I feel Alora is a warrior and commands people normally into warriors.

There was a cave about 10 miles away. As soon as we switched into our wolves, we ran there. Further investigation revealed that Nicolas' wolf's name was Blaze. Nipping at Blaze's tail, Kiki flirted with him. The wolf I have is so embarrassing, she's like a horndog.

As soon as we got into the cave, we explored it in depth. It looked like there was a pond or a miniature lake inside. There was a dome-like structure on the ceiling of the cave. The cave was illuminated by Aloras magic lanterns. It was beautiful and eerie at the same time. Shadows danced on the walls because of the lanterns. When we spoke, coughed, or just walked around, we heard echoes.

Alora made me imagine a fireball and create one on command. Then nothing happened. My face contoured like I was trying to poop. Since I couldn't summon the fireball unless I got mad, I let it loose, but it went flying in nowhere in particular since I wasn't aiming it. Nicolas was chased for a little bit by it as it bounced off a rock wall, and then bounced off another rock wall on the other side of the cave, burning a hole in his jeans, revealing a small part of his bottom. While trying not to laugh, I had to hold my hands over my mouth. This was just too funny for me to even say "I'm sorry."

Eventually, the fireball drowned in the cave's lake. Trying to look firm, Alora just shook her head, but I could tell she wanted to laugh too.

Nicolas ran over to the lake and splashed water on his butt. I watched him grimace at me as he sat on his buttocks in the shallow end of the lake.

You can control the fireball by using your anger, Alexandria. There's no way Nicolas wants a repeat of this." Alora coughs, trying not to laugh at Nicolas's misfortune.

"Hilarious!" replied Nicolas.
