1120 Words
"Clara come here we have some business to discuss." King Lyon links her through his mind.
"Coming father, let me finish my training and I will be there shortly."
"Don't dilly dally Clara this is extremely important and cannot wait for later."
"Don't worry dad I will be there promptly." Clara links back rolling her eyes sarcastically.
She blocks out the others so they cannot read her thoughts as she finishes training. She is the absolute best at training and takes down her entire pack as they train against her it's even boring to train because they are not a challenge to her. Clara craves more of a challenge but her trainers, warriors and guards were told not to go hard on her this is something she has to talk to her father about, today.
"Father I am here."
"Come in Clara have a sweat."
"Where is mom at dad? Shouldn't she be here too since she is queen?"
"You know where she is Clara, so do not ask that any longer."
"I want to see her why do you keep her from me?"
"Let's get to business since you will be taking over as the next princess of all packs. This is important for you to know The Who's and what it's, ins and outs. I have tried to groom you but you always keep running away and that is going to stop today."
"Clara there is an alpha who is trying to take over my position at no cost and you need to be fully aware of this and understand the danger that you are in which includes our entire kingdom and all werewolves. He will stop at nothing to get here and I am afraid that means pretending to be your mate and he will use magic to make sure he gets my spot. We, meaning you, have to be on your guard and not allow this to happen."
"Great more pressure I have to endure, thanks dad, thanks a whole lot."
"I know you do not like this at all but it is what it is and you are my first born. My only offspring okay? I have loved you so much and I thought I did right by grooming you for this position for which I know you will be great at."
"Dad I know I will be great at it too but being great at this also means being a great fighter or warrior and you have everyone holding back fighting me. I need the challenge and you know this why do have them holding back from me?"
"I don't want you getting hurt or them hurting or killing you Clara. We are I have a duty to protect my children, meaning you."
"I want more dad I need to fight and feel like they can trust me to lead them I am not getting that from them all because of you. That is going to change starting tomorrow no ifs, ands or buts about it. They have to know I am their leader and better than all of them combined. If I cannot do this then how can I lead my kingdom with out question?"
"They respect you dear, they really do. You can lead from in here where it is safe."
"NO Dad, I will not play your stupid little games any longer. I will leave and find my own pack to run or you will let me train with my kingdom at full capacity like everyone else! GOT IT?"
With all the yelling going on there was a knock on the door and the people entered interrupting the king and his daughter having a heated discussion. The men waited till there was a slight break in the discussion to interrupt them for the meeting that was set up a few weeks back.
"Your majesty sorry for the interruption, but your guests have arrived and are outside the door waiting to enter." George says kindly.
"Send them in please, hopefully we weren't too loud in our discussion."
George just looks around feeling uncomfortable telling his king they were too loud and everyone passing by could hear them since the door was wide open. Only then did Matthew realized that the door had been open and he turned red with embarrassment.
"Sorry gentlemen for the outburst you witnessed with my daughter, Clara."
"No problem sir. I am Dunken the Beta of Stone Pack and this is my alfa Xavior Stone."
Clara turns around and sees the two men she had sparred with moments ago and darn near s**t her pants. They both smirked at her and shook her and her fathers hands.
"Nice to meet you Princess Clara and thanks for the spar today." Alpha Xavior quirked his brow while kissing her hand sending sparks up her arm.
"Sure anytime alpha." Clara's face blushes a light rose color.
"King Lyon if you don't mind if I may give some input about the discussion both you and Clara were talking about?"
"Go ahead son, be my guest. I will listen to what you may have to say."
"Thank you sir, Clara has a point she is a very strong fighter but the others do hold her back and to be honest it makes her look weak and the rest of your kingdom looks weak as well. If she cannot fight or at least be taught at full capacity to fight she and your kingdom will fall to Alpha Felix. We both know this is not what we want to see."
The king sighs knowing he's right about his daughter and kingdom. But he is at his Witts end trying to keep her on the property and keep her safe.
Clara sat there while the men were talking about the business but Lydia was howling Mate in her head and she blocked her out. Lydia made a connection with Xavior's wolf, Cyberg, and he was annoying Xavior.
"Son your right, although she is not a good fighter and needs to be taught.." Matthew was cut off by Xavior.
"Sir with all due respect Clara pinned both myself and beta in seconds flat. She is conditioned fighter but not challenged enough."
"Dad I have been telling you this for a while now but you do not ever listen to me. Now you listen to HIM?"
"Xavior I appoint you and Dunken to train my daughter and do as she wishes don't hold back and I will come and look in on your training. This will start at 5:30 am tomorrow morning understood young lady?"
"YES! Finally some real training, thanks dad you won't regret it."
"I already am, now this Felix guy what have you learned?"
