When Two Beasts Fell in Love

Chapter 40

“How’s your training?” Angelique asked Kimberly. 

“Tiring,” she said but you couldn’t hear her complaining. 

“At least, you’re learning.” She shrugged her shoulders as she skipped through all the paper she was working with. 

“By the way, have you seen my sister again, Big Sis?” Kimberly asked her with hope in her eyes. 

“Nope. After that day, I didn’t see her again,” she said, nonchalantly. Even though she acted that way, inside her, her heart was clenching in pain. 

“Where might they be?” the younger girl sighed. 

“No idea.” Kimberly knew what she felt. 

It’s been half a year already since the last time she saw her. She went back there but no Chiara showed up.  Even any traces that she left were nowhere to be found. It was like she just vanished into thin air. 

Day by day, Angelique was changing. She forced herself to work just to forget thinking about her. Also, her expression became worse when she didn’t see Chiara anymore. She forced herself to be strong so she could focus on their mission. 

All the people around her could feel and see it but they kept mum because it was for the better. She didn’t make any mistakes and they were becoming strong. What they were doing was for the greater good of them all. They needed to cut down its horn before something might happen again.  

Kimberly walked out, so she went outside too and she saw her warrior having their training. Some were carrying knives, some were swords, and few using a bow and arrow. They were also using guns but they will use them as an alternative weapon. Their training with this weapon happens in Guslar. 

Angelique was satisfied with their movement. It was precise and they really have fast reflexes to deflect the attack. Their movement was also fluid, not like her but better than the others.  

She kept walking until she reached the house where the healer was studying. 

On the other side, werewolves who have other abilities are also practicing it. She nodded in satisfaction. They’re stronger than before and can fight the so-called powerful werewolves. 

She walked to the warehouse where they stock their equipment. They prepared different weapons and armor intended for a person. They really made what is suitable for that person and not the same as the others. It was customized, so it took a little time before all of this was done. 

Conor was inside, supervising the quality of the weapon and if it is in the right condition for the next day. He was instructing the others inside what they would do. He should make sure it was fine to use and no hassle will be done on the way. 

“How’s everything here?” she asked, which startled them. 

They all bowed down when they saw the Alpha. They were so busy discussing what they would do that they never noticed their Alpha. Also, Angelique is capable of sneaking in without hearing or feeling her presence. 

“Alpha!” They all greeted her. She greeted them back before looking around. She’s satisfied when she saw that everything was ready. 

“We are all ready, Alpha.” Conor walked towards her and reported. “Even a first aid kit was already prepared.”

“Good to hear that.” She just nodded and left again. 

She still needed to plan it thoroughly. She has to make sure that everything will go according to their plan and no lives on their side will perish. Her people are important to her too. They are her family from the start she became their Alpha. 

They became her responsibility the time she approved the appointment. She told herself that they will get the freedom that they deserve. No more rope on their neck. 

She walked to her next destination, the control room where all the actions of Lycans were shown. People were busy looking at the monitor and looking for some information they could use. 

“Any information?” she asked when she came in. 

“Good afternoon, Alpha!” They all greeted her. She never thought it was already afternoon and she never even took a nap since yesterday. 

Melina, the mother of Tony and also the head of the control room, walked forward to report. She bowed down first before starting to report. 

“As of now, nothing happened, Alpha. They’re clueless about what will hit them in a few days. They’re just having fun and their training stopped for a while. The King will be away for a while, it will be a great opportunity for us.” She took a small notebook and showed it to Angelique. “But I saw this in one of the papers, the Lycan Alpha reading.” 

Angelique took it and started to read. Words were scribbled there and her forehead furrowed. It’s a plan on how he will take down the Kingdom. The first one was her but she never showed up again so it will be no use. But the plan changed, he will use her as he attacks the Kingdom. If the King wins, he will point the finger at her. 

“What a nice plan, but too late!” she said, expressionlessly. She gave back the paper and looked at the screen. 

As Melina said, they’re just being free and easy like no one will touch them. They’re conceited. 

“Make our spy scram before we attack. Made sure no one noticed.” Melina nodded and did her work. 

Angelique stayed for a while. She saw her sperm donor having his own fun. He was torturing and r*ping the woman. He was having fun but it made Angelique furious. 

It made her more motivated to pursue her plan. He needed to avenge the people he did wrong. 

She went out when she couldn’t stomach what her sperm donor doing. She felt pity for the woman but she couldn’t help her now. 

She wanted to have a rest now, so she went home. But on her way, she saw Reema who was accompanied by Hazel. They looked happy that she had never seen in Reema’s eyes before. She slowly overcomes her trauma with the help of Hazel. With her patience and smile, Reema couldn’t resist the girl. 

She didn’t disturb them and went home. She needed to walk a little more before she arrived home. Kimberly already cleaned herself and was drying her hair. She was sitting in the living room while pink was preparing her food. 

Pink was already thirteen years old and could do household chores. She knew how to use her fist but not that well, but she’s good at using her magic. Angelique knew she could survive if someone attacked her. 

“Hi, Big Sis. Do you want to eat too?” she asked as she put down a bowl with hot soup. 

“Yes, please. I’ll just take a bath first.” 

“I’ll wait for you,” Kimberly said. Angelique nodded and went inside her room. 

Their house was made of concrete and had seven rooms, one for each of them. They also have an office, library, kitchen, receiving area, and dining area. It was big already but she was thinking of adding another room. She’s sure that Reema will stay with them like Rea when she gets better. 

They have a garden outside but also a private training ground. A basement for entertainment and escape route. 

She took a bath in military-style. Kimberly was waiting for her and she didn’t want the hot soup to get cold. 

When she reached the dining table, six of them were there. They were going to eat too since it was lunch already. 

“Why did you have to wait for me?” she asked as she sat down on the head of the table. She signed for them to start now. 

They prayed first before they ate. It was peaceful and they enjoyed the silence until Kimberly broke it. 

“Can I come?” The first plan was Angelique wanted her to stay here. But she really wanted to join the fight and avenge her family. 

“You will if you pass my test later. We just take our nap then when I wake up, we will have a sparing. Win or lose, I will decide if you can come. Same with you too.” She pointed out the two boys. They just nodded because their mouths were full. 

“How about us?” Hazel asked. 

“You will stay here. Prepare when anything goes wrong.” The three girls nodded but Rea kept looking at her. “Yes?” she asked her. 

“Nothing. I was just looking at you because your plan was perfect. Sometimes, I think you’re a seer too.” She kept looking at Angelique while putting a spoonful of food inside her mouth. 

“I don’t have that ability. I did it because of what I saw on the camera. I planned it all, I risked my life for it just to know them. Also, humans have a different war history than werewolves. They’re more gruesome and the tactics were different. You will understand when you study harder.” Rea nodded in understanding. She read some of the books about the history of Guslar and she can say that they're awesome. 

They continued eating, then when they’re done, the tired ones went to their room and slept. The girls did the chores and had their naps too after. 

When Angelique woke up, Kimberly was already done with her warm-up. She was wearing a combat overall that they usually use on their training. Sword was also in her hand, it was small but too sharp that in one strike it could cut a human. 

“Are you ready? Angelique asked while still yawning. Her clothes were still her big t-shirt and shorts that she used when she slept. 

“Yes,” she confidently said. 

“Get inside!” The other followed her and went inside. They just opened the window so they can watch the fight. 

“Go!” At the time of the signal, Kimberly attacked her. 

Angelique was not surprised. She swiftly moved to her side avoiding the sword. After a vertical s***h, she directed it to horizontal but Angelique was fast and avoided it. 

Kimberly tried to punch her but she just punched the air because Angelique was far from her already. Kimberly gritted her teeth and attacked her again. This time, she used her feet and legs too. She tried to trip her but Angelique was fast in making moves. In the end, Kimberly was the one who plunged to the ground. 

Angelique tried to step on her but she rolled away faster. Angelique liked how she rolled and stood up again before she could kick her. She noticed how Kimberly moved noiselessly and she’s fast too. 

Kimberly attacked her again, showing some dirty tricks. Angelique didn’t get mad because there is no fair in the name of war between life and death. 

But Angelique was able to avoid it and kicked Kimberly away from her. She coughed because of pain, for sure it will leave some bruises on her stomach. 

“You pass!” Angelique declared then pointed out Kevin. 

Kevin fought her then followed by Clark. They showed amazing skills, but not surpass or par with Angelique, that they passed. They will join the attack and Angelique knows where she will put them.
