Hybrid Warrior Luna

Three Is Definitely A Pattern

The sun beat down on them in the morning heat as they ran along the lakeside, pushing to outrun each other, fiercely competitive by nature. Alina watched her warriors determinedly push themselves - renewed intensity anytime they were passed. She was running pace, ensuring everyone was able to run at least this speed, as Ryan and Bryson watched, and tracked each warrior.

"Ready?" Ryan mind linked, with Bryson connected too.

"Always. Think they're tired and distracted?" she replied.

"Very much so," Bryson chuckled, watching them compete.

Alina started fading in and out. Appearing at different points of the lake. It happened quickly, it took most of them under 30 seconds to notice. All the warriors were on alert in under a minute, focusing on her scent to follow her.

"Wonderful! Next level!" Alina called out before diving into the lake. More than half the warriors correctly followed her scent as she appeared behind Ryan and Bryson.

"Showing off, Cousin?" Bryn giggled as she walked over, giving her hand a wave in front of her and sending a swirl of heat to dry Alina.

"Training practices, dealing with Hope, we need to prepare for the unexpected."

"Ugh, her obsession is getting on my nerves at this point."

There was a murmur of agreement as the warriors collected around them, sweaty and dirty from their runs. Alina stood in the center and turned as she spoke, ensuring everyone saw her.

"We have a lot of work to do between the meeting in two days, the coronation, being on alert for Hope, working on reinforcing connections around the Kingdom, and our normal jobs and tasks. We will be training more, not because I don't think you're ready, but because our normal monthly workouts with SilverHarmony are no longer enough for anyone. The coven needs more work with us, and we need more with them. We will also be inviting other groups from around the Kingdom so everyone is prepared. Trainings will be staggered, to prepare but also to accommodate the Vamps that cannot daywalk. If you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, etc please let me, Ryan, or Bryson know as always. The Omegas will be working with Bryson and Ryan this week to go over a plan for them to get all the pups to safety should something happen on our own lands."

"I'll send the members of the coven who will protect our children to meet with the boys and the Omegas so they can all know both plans just in case?" Bryn asked, rhetorically.

Alina and the boys nodded.

"Wonderful," both leaders said.

"Warriors dismissed!" Bryson called out, nodding to Alina and Ryan before walking off.

"Lunch?" Bryn asked, turning to Alina so her back was to Ryan.

Alina laughed at this, "Absolutely! Later Ry!"

Ryan laughed as the women headed toward the house, Bryn linking her arm with Alina's. They laughed and decided what to have for lunch as they walked, Bryn's braids floating in the wind as Alina pulled her hair up, complaining of frizz. They were greeted by members of the pack as they walked in the back door nearest them, a large dining room full of life as everyone ate lunch.

Alina froze in the middle of the room, as phones began ringing, and a flame burst in front of her with a coven Priestess's image, "Our lands are on fire, we need back up!" the floating head rushed out before vanishing.

"Let's go!" Alina called aloud and through mind link, as Bryn nodded and vanished in a rush of wind. "Take the cars! They're too far to run in time! I'll meet you there! Follow Ryan and Bryson!" And she vanished in a swish of water.
