His mate the lycan

Chapter 11: Locked up

The first day after Hanna left I had hope he would come by. After lunch when Hanna came my hope was crushed. She said that he was too stubborn to come and talk to me. He was mad and upset that I did run away. She talked to him but it didn't help. I would also be disappointed but I would talk to the person in question. I'm disappointed that he didn’t came but it's not up to me to judge him. If he needs time I will give it to him, I told Hanna. Deep down I was crushed but I didn't know why I felt that way. Don't worry he will forgive us. How do you know that Sterre? I just know sweetie, trust me. The second day went by very fast. I watched movies all day. I had no hope that David would come by. In the morning I cried but I had to be strong. I needed to accept the consequences for what I did. I regretted that I had run away but also I knew that I needed to do that for myself. If he wants me to leave the pack I leave. If he wants me to stay in the pack I stay. With that I tried to enjoy the movie that was on. The third day I woke up well rested in fact, these past days I woke up well rested. Since I was locked up in his room I slept better than ever. I wonder why that is. I have had no nightmares so far, which is a huge plus. David's room smelled so nice like him. It smelled like cedar wood and citrus. It's a good combination for a man. Hanna or someone else brought me food while I was locked up in his room. While I was there I looked around his room and read some books. If I wasn't reading I watched some TV. Sometimes I heard footsteps on the other side of the door. That person never came inside the room. After my lunch I began reading a new book. It was on David's bookshelf. It was very interesting. It was about lycan wolves. I knew that they were hunted down and that they are very rare. In this book the lycan species were described. Their abilities and what they can do and why they are stronger than regular wolves. When I finished that book I laid it back on the shelf. It was logical that they were hunted down. They were powerful beings and could easily take down twenty wolves. At that moment David walked into his bedroom. He said nothing and sat on a stool on the opposite of the bed where I was. He just looked at me with so many different emotions I couldn’t figure out what he felt. So I began "hi David, listen I want you to know that I am sorry. But I saw no other way than to run away. You guys are my friends but that's why I did it. I didn’t want to burden you with my past. Maybe I was running away from my past. I’m so, so sorry. But you also can not lock me up in here for the rest of my life. I want to go outside whenever I want and I want to train. I need to be able to defend myself if I might come across rogues again. I don't want to be helpless. I need to regain my stamina, speed and agility and I need to perfect my fighting skills. If you don’t forgive me and you want me to leave the pack I will understand that," I finished my pleading. " Elisabeth, I don't want you to leave the pack. I understand now why you did what you did. I was worried that something bad had happened. I know my pack lands better than anyone else. We recently have had more problems with rogues on our grounds. You didn’t know that and that was my fault. I was mad that you left us that you don't fully trust us. But I will forgive you. You know that my wolf did that when you said those words to him. I was the problem. To answer your conditions you can go outside whenever you want. I will introduce more people to you. Please stay close to the house, you aren't familiar with this forest. It is dangerous. I will show you the forest piece by piece so that you know the layout of the pack. For training you can not train you will break something. You aren't ready for that" David said. " NO DAVID come on. I'm ready to train and I need to train. I am not a fragile person anymore. With or without your permission I will go to training" I semi yelled at him. "Okay, okay calm down, let's make a compromise. If the doctor clears you and she thinks you are ready to train. Then you can train, but first you look at the training. Then you see for yourself how we train and then make a decision if you want to join training. In the meantime I will introduce more people to you because you will train in a group. Understand?" He asked me. I nod at him and briefly hug him. "Thank you David and thank you that I can stay" I say. "I forgive you. We all make mistakes and hopefully we learn from them. But never run away like this or I will lock you up forever" he said. I just shrug but I know he means it.

The same day I made an appointment with doctor Emma. David insisted that he go with me. I think that he wants to know for sure that she clears me or not. We make an appointment in the afternoon because in the morning David has some meetings. I just hope that she clears me. David held his word and now I can go outside without being stopped by a guard. I immediately went for a run. I notice I have zero endurance so I have to build that up in time. My plan is to go a little bit further every time I go for a run and listen to my body. This time I did one lap around the packhouse. It felt great to do something else and be sporty. Do you smell the forest? It smells so good I have forgotten that over time Sterre said. After my run I just sit on the ground and look around. Some trees have no leaves and some are pine trees who look green. The sky is beautiful and there are no clouds. I enjoy the sunshine on my face. At this very moment I feel connected to nature and I feel my wolf better than ever. After an hour of three I go back and take a shower. The next day early in the morning I leave for a run around the packhouse. When I am done I go and shower. Then I go downstairs for breakfast. Now there are more people in the packhouse. About twenty-five more wolves are here. I don't really mind. I know that I am safe here. They won't hurt me or abuse me. In the afternoon I go to David's office to get him for my doctor's appointment. When we arrived she greeted us and led us to a room. " Hi Elisabeth, how are you feeling?" She asked me. "Hi doctor Emma, I am feeling much better than before" I answered her. Then she examined me from head to toe. David makes sure of it because he gives her the eye. It means you better not clear her. I don't want her to train. But despite David she clears me. "Elisabeth, you are healthy and good to go. Your bruises are healed and you need to train" she said. I smiled at her and David. "You see it's now a doctor's order" I said to David. "Okay you win but I don't agree but I promised so you can train. But you have to watch the first two as agreed". David says with an evil smile on his face. "I know I know" I sighed.

With that I watch the first two training sessions and a week goes by if it was nothing. Everyday I go for a run and go a bit further everyday. David asked me if I was sure I wanted to train with the others. I was resultant and really wanted to train no matter what. My very first training session came closer. I didn't have to watch but I could finally join. I borrowed from Hanna a training outfit. On Monday in the afternoon I could finally train with the others. "Welkom everybody to training. Elisabeth will join us today. I will show you some techniques to tackle your opponent. Liam, you will be my assistant" David said. He showed us some things and then split us up in some pairs. "Elizabeth, you will train today with Liam. He will show you some basics". "But David". I was to speak more but he interrupted me. "No Elisabeth it is not up for discussion" he said. I just rolled my eyes and did what I was told. So Liam showed me the basics but at the end I had it all under control. "Wow you are a fast learner, '' Liam said to me. " I know because I can fight but nobody listens to me. This was a waste of time". I said. "Nothing is a waste of time. You just proved yourself to me. Now I know what you can do". I just rolled my eyes at him. "Okay people come and form a circle. You know the rules everybody can challenge me. You can show me how far you are with your training. Immediately some guy challenged David. Liam explained during the battle the rules. You can only fight one on one. You can not kill, only wound each other. The battle is ended when someone isn't capable of fighting or they tap out. As I watched the battle my training came back to me. I knew what I would have done. So an idea struck me. I would challenge David so I can prove that I can fight. Little did I know it would backfire on me. "Okay who is next to challenge me?" " I, Elisabeth, challenge you David for a battle" I said. He looked at me wide eyed. "Are you sure you want to challenge me?" "Jes I am" with that I step forward in the circle. He looked at me but he stood in his fighting position. "I will be careful with you," he said. "That's a shame I won't". We circle each other to see if we find a weak spot. Then he attacked first. I easily dodged him by stepping sideways. He turned and attacked again. I stepped away but when he passed I kicked him. Then we circle each other again. He looks at me differently. Then I attacked him. I sprint to him to jump up and kick him hard in the chest. He falls back and I immediately act on it. I try to pin him under me but I fail because he is too strong. I have to try again but this time I don't get a chance to attack. He punched me multiple times and the first two I couldn't dodge. His punches were hard but I knew that he was holding back. We punched each other and I was beginning to be exhausted. So I had to finish this. I jumped at him and worked him to the ground. Then I took his arm behind him so he couldn't get up. After some struggles he tapped out. I was happy that I won this. I had proven myself to him that I could fight. He was mad and stormed out of the training field. I didn't know what happened and why he was mad. Had I done something wrong?
