Day twelve of training, and I hit the ground hard as day one. But I'm able to block more and hit with impact. Training on day eight and ten with Thomas, aka the brick wall, has made me tougher. One hit from him landed me a cracked rib. I had to skip my breakfast shift in the kitchen the next morning.
I've been choked out a few times in the beginning.Kicked, punched, and thrown every which way for the first week. Thomas is the one who did the throwing. I thought I was going to die, and he laughed at me like I was a clown in the circus. He told me to stop whining a rouge wouldn't have mercy on me, and neither should he.
He was right, and I accepted the pain. Now my wolf reflexes have kicked in. Isis told me to use my wolf senses, and I'm able to duck and dodge hits with my eyes closed. I heal quickly, and all of my bruises disappear within hours now. Thomas said it was a wolf thing. I've even realized how strong and fast I am now compared to day one.
It's been a struggle, and I have a lot further to go with fighting. If and when I have to fight, I know now I could stand a chance at not dying without a fight.
You wouldn't die anyway. I wouldn't let us die. Isis chimed in my thoughts. I was into mile eight and ran up to Darren.
"Follow me." Darren turned away running into the woods.
"Darren, please." I said, taking off behind him, breathing like a six hundred pound person. He only ignored me, but I noticed he slowed the pace.
"Break," I scream at Darren out of breath. "No, we are almost there." He said as we ran through the forest. Running through the forest was crazy. You had to watch for debris on the ground,rocks,limbs, and critters. Then, I had to dodge trees and limbs.
"Ah Damn." I said, crashing into Darren bouncing back and hitting the ground. He turned and looked down at me.
"You have to pay better attention. Clear your mind sometimes. You're always in your head." Darren scolded me. I coughed, having the wind knocked out of me. Darren was solid. Like a mountain of muscles.
"I know I need to pay more attention, but couldn't you have warned me you were stopping." Darren lifted me up to my feet.
"Yes, I could have, but you have to stay focused on your surroundings more."
"I will," I said, letting go of his arm.
"Come on, we're here." He said, walking towards the water out of the forest. It smelled so fresh out here. Darren smiled at me. I looked around and it was beautiful. We walked over to a huge rock, and I sat on it. Darren begins stripping out of all his clothing. I looked with my mouth open. He laughed.
"Never seen a naked wolf before?" He asked sarcastically. I looked away, embarrassed.
"No, I haven't. I'm a twenty two year old virgin, " I whispered to him.
"Good stay that way until you meet your mate." He said, grabbing my hand, pulling me closer to him.
"Now get undressed, and let's swim."
"Can't I swim in my clothes?"
"Nope." He said, tugging at my shirt. "Darren, I lost a lot of weight and sure I look horrible under here."
"I'm your friend, and you are beautiful. I don't care if you were four hundred pounds. You would still be beautiful." He pulled my shirt off and threw it on the rock. Then he ran and jumped into the water.
"Come on, babe, it feels so good."
I stripped down to nothing, holding my arm across my breast. They were still pretty big and my ass goodness.
"Damn, you're sexy," Darren said before he whistled. I smiled. I joined him, yelling how cold it was the entire way to him. He splashed me with water and laughed.
After a minute, I adjusted to the temperature, and it felt nice. We splashed and dipped in and out of water a few times. It was the most fun I've had in a long time. My skin was wrinkling. We were in so long.
"Why are you late transforming into your wolf?"
"She was blocked from me because my parents wanted me to live as a human." I half told. Aunt Kara warned me to keep my history to myself, and that is what I will do.
"Gosh, that's crazy. How come I can't sense her?" He asked.
"She is resting. She will appear in a few weeks. I can't wait to transform. I was so nervous at first, but spending time here has changed my mind."
Darren smiled."That's great. Transforming into your wolf is pure freedom. You will feel so powerful and stronger. I know you will have a beautiful wolf and I can't wait to meet her." I smiled. I swim around Darren. I went under and came back up in front of him again.
"Can I see your wolf?"
"Yes, another day, though." He said, grabbing my hand and leading me out of the water. We walked to our clothing. He ran his hand through my hair, squeezing water from it.
"You are beautiful. Your mate would be lucky to have you." He smiled and handed me my shirt. I smiled back, accepting my clothing.
"We have to go, Alpha has mindlinked me to bring you to his office."
"Why?" I asked, sliding my sweat pants on.
"Don't know you just have to go see."
We were fully dressed and headed back to the pack house. Once we were out of the forest, Darren linked my arm with his. I smiled, causing him to grin.
"What is it?" He asked.
"You're the first friend I've ever had in my entire life. Then Liza, but thank you." He stopped and gave me a hug.
"My pleasure, you're one and a kind, and I'm glad to be your friend." He kissed the top of my head lightly.
"Now go see the Alpha." he walked away. I smiled as I walked to the pack house. A smell that I have smelled before hit my nose. It is a spicy cinnamon and sugar smell.
Mate Isis stirred around.
No, please don't say that Isis. I wouldn't mind Thor being my mate, though he smelled yummy and was s**y. Right now, though, I'm on my adventure, and I don't want to stop to become a fifties housewife. Making dinner, ironing clothes, and raising kids.Im not saying never, but just not now.
He's our mate. You will feel it soon. Isis sat down
