The Unknown Wolf

Chapter 9

Alayna walked out to the back yard right before 0600. This time she had time to truly look around her and see what it had to offer. She could see the lake where her first shift was way off in the distance, she could see houses scattered around the grounds. Straight out the back door was a medium-sized garden that had all the colors you could think of in flowers. She noticed around 100 people standing around a little way off heading towards the lake. She thought that was the training session, so she started a slow jog towards them. As she got closer, she saw Damon, Zach and another guy at the head of the group. She decided she was going to stay in the back so she didn't get noticed by Damon. She didn't need him judging her lacking fighting skills. Don't get her wrong, she was in shape and had to fight off plenty when she was on the run. But she had a feeling that she didn't know a fraction of what these people knew. She wanted to show up to learn as much as possible, because when she decided to leave she wanted to be prepared.

As Alayna looked around she saw that there was almost an even mixture of males and females, and each of them looked like they could be from a God's blood line. They all looked gorgeous!

" LET'S START WITH THE WARM UPS, 15 LAPS AROUND THE LAKE! " Zach yelled out so everyone could hear him. As people started filtering onto the man-made track, Zach looked at her. " Alayna, why don't you come up here for the first day so you can see what we do here. " " No thanks, I would like to participate if that is OK. I am not completely out of shape. " She answered him with a smile. He just shook his head and held up his hand as if to say be my guest.

As she started to run, she noticed that Damon fell behind her along with Zach and the other man. Everyone was doing a slow jog, so it was easy for her to keep up and it didn't take as long as she thought it would to complete the 15 laps. Back at the training grounds, Damon asked her to come to the front. "OK everyone, this here is Alayna. She asked to train with us today and I expect each and every one of you to help her out. She hasn't been in a pack setting before, so she doesn't know what normal training consists of. Lets start with pairing off and switching between offense and defense. " Everyone in unison belted out " YES ALPHA! " Damon turned to Alayna, " You will be pairing with me for this part. " Alayna looked at him like he had grown an extra head. " I don't know the first thing about real fighting, there is absolutely no way I will have any sort of chance with you! " Damon stepped so close to her that she could almost feel his chest on hers as he was breathing. Damon bent down to her ear. " You definitely don't know what kind of chance you have with me, I will teach as I go. Don't worry, Little Wolf. " He said, his voice so low and husky it sent a shiver down Alayna's spine. Just as soon as she thought of that shiver, she was on her ass looking up at Damon. " Never ever let your guard down, no matter who you are up against. " Damon said between laughing. Now Alayna was royally pissed off. She jumped up while he was doubled over laughing and hit him head first in the midsection, sending both of them tumbling down. Damon had a look of shock on his face as he fought for control. Alayna wasn't a pro but she was for sure scrappy! She has had her fair share of fights, as it was for her life. Alayna was landing punches left and right, she was so pissed that he decided to use his body to take her down, but she was able to dodge his grabs easily enough. She wanted to be her own person and hated the feeling of being pulled, sexually or otherwise, towards someone else. Damon was doing a good job of blocking her once he understood her fighting style. At this point, he was just letting her work out her anger and frustrations over her life, as he knew that she needed to get them out, sooner rather than later. After only about 15 minutes of her going after Damon, Alayna was dripping in sweat with tears running down her face. Damon grabbed her, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and just holding her. " I don't know what happened. I'm so sorry! " Alayna sobbed. She hadn't noticed that the group had dispersed to another part of the field with Zach and the other person leading the training. " Alayna, you don't have anything to be sorry about. You have been holding in your fears and frustrations for years and are finally able to let them out. We can continue training tomorrow. " Damon scooped her up in his arms and started walking to her room.

When Damon finally set her down on her bed, Alayna was exhausted. Damon walked to her bathroom and started the shower, then went back to get her. Damon picked her up and carried her to the shower. He undressed her and sat her in the shower. He then got in, fully clothed and started bathing her. He remained a perfect gentleman the entire time. Once he was done, he wrapped her up in a towel and took her to her bed. Damon found her a pair of shorts and a tank top and helped her get dressed. Alayna was almost passed out. As Damon got up to leave, Alayna reached out to him. " Please stay. I know I have no right to ask you but I feel safe with you for some reason and just need you to hold me. " Damon looked over at her and had to think twice about it. Her words made his d**k hard just thinking that she needed him, not just anyone, but him. " Of course I'll stay. I just have to go get a change of clothes " He walked out the door and was back within 2 minutes. He then crawled into bed beside her and just held her.

At noon, Alayna's stomach woke her up from hunger. As she opened her eyes she felt strong arms holding her in place and instantly she felt calm. She scooted out of Damon's arms and snuck to the bathroom. Her eyes were not as puffy as she expected them to be, so she just splashed cold water on her face. As she walked back out, Damon was laying on the bed with his arms behind his head. Alayna's breath hitched, she didn't realize that he only had a pair of shorts on, nothing under them either. His abs were on full display for her to see. She could barely breath. " Is there something you like? " Damon said, his voice low and deep. " I- I don't - What are you talking about? " " I can help but see your eyes moving up and down my body. I also can smell your arousal on you. " Just then Alayna noticed that her juices were dripping down her leg and her n*****s were rock hard. ' Damnit, how can he affect me this much! ' she thought to herself. " You are welcome to explore if you would like. " Alayna forgot all about her hunger and something propelled her forward till she was at the end of the bed and he was staring right into her eyes.
