“What! No! I don’t. Ehh you know what I mean”
He snaps defensively making dad laugh.
“So will Katy be joining morning training tomorrow?”
Fay asks me, I shake my head
“Nope, I get most of my work done in the morning, I can train after lunch unless a meeting
Come up”
Aaron sits forward frowning
“No you need to come to training, the pack needs to see that the Luna is willing to do what they do for the pack. It’s important for momentum”
“Oh really? Because I thought it might be more important to talk to the Canadian government to arrange safe passage for orphan Lycan kids with nowhere to go.”
I snap back a little too aggressively, I sigh shaking my head
“Sorry, I didn’t mean that the way it sounded, I understand pack dynamics but I have to train differently to your people, mine includes magic, primordial training, and usual training with everything else so it’s easier to train with Finn”
Aaron smiles at me and then he looks at Branson
“I still think it’s important even just for the first while”
Branson takes my hand and kisses it.
“It’s fine, don’t worry about it babe, we can organise something else”
I shake my head feeling bad
“Don’t worry I’ll do it, even just for the first while but if I start getting behind I’m going to cut it down to the way it was”
“You guys should come to”
Aaron says to mum and dad, they shrug
“If that’s what you want”
Dad answers
“I’d personally love to kick some werewolf a*s”
He winks at me making me chuckle
“Oh is that so? Strip away those powers and we will see how hard you are”
Aaron snaps back, dad snorts rolling his eyes
“You are a Lycan too you toolbag!”
Everyone but him laughs as he pouts
“I meant fighting everyone else”
“Yeah yeah we all know what you meant love”
Fay answers cracking up then she looks to mum
“We should do the Lycan/werewolf games like we always planned when we were kids”
I look between them as mum grins
“That would be so cool!”
“What is it?”
Branson asks before he takes a bite of food
“Like the Olympics only for our people, us against the werewolves”
“Oh my gosh yes! I call I want to be a presenter”
I say excitedly
“I’m in, that sounds like a riot, what kind of games are we talking about?”
Adlai asks, dad shrugs
“Sparing, races, strength tests, agility, knife throwing, all that stuff”
I look to Branson with a grin on my face, he rolls his eyes
“Seriously you want to do this?”
Karma pushes forward taking over
“Of Course I do, but maybe you are scared that your people will lose?”
He zeros his eyes in at me
“Hell no! We are on and we are going to win”
He snaps pushing his nose in the air, I tap the table excitedly.
“This is going to be awesome”
I grin at my parents who look just as excited as I am. We spend the evening together going back and forth with different ideas and when they leave I go to bed for the first time in years without alcohol in my system but what shocks me most is that we slept.
————-
As I open my eyes I jump up in surprise when I see the sun, Branson growls grabbing me and yanking me back down and throwing his leg over my hips.
“Stop moving it’s too early”
“It’s light outside again, I slept all night Branson”
I say giddy with excitement, his eyes snap open as he sits up looking out the window at our view.
“Shut the f**k up”
He chuckles a grin on his face, he lifts his phone and huffs
“Damn training starts in 10”
He drops his phone and he rolls out of bed, catching my ankles he yanks me out of bed, I squeak in surprise as karma stirs inside me
“What is he doing, it’s too early”
She cries
“Come on, time to train”
He pecks my lips and then heads to the closest
“Are you seriously going to make us train this early”
Karma snaps at me as I get out of bed. We always trained after school when we were kids, Ali took us for magic training and knife throwing and fighting with the help of dad. Then mum and nana would help with primordial training, then dad would take us and teach us about hellhound tricks. So we very rarely trained with the pack but when we did it was with no powers backing us up so I never really enjoyed it so much. So to start now is annoying.
“We are Luna now, these are our people too so we need to be involved”
She sighs nodding her head
“Yeah I know”
We climb out of bed and head to the closet, I pull on a sports b*a and some shorts with sneakers but as I go to leave Branson throws me a vest top
“You forgot your shirt”
I roll my eyes and pull it on
“Fine”
I snap childishly, he smirks at me but I don’t care, I’m not used to having a mate to worry about.
“Don’t be sour I just don’t want them looking at you”
“Whatever, it’s too early to argue”
He kisses my head then he leads us down the stairs, I hear the boys in the common room so I walk in to say hi. They grin at me
“This place is amazing!”
Finn calls as axel pours me some coffee then he pulls me in for a hug
“Thank you so much, we love it”
I chuckle surprised as they all sit around looking happy with their new digs
“Good, are you all ready for training?”
“Yes”
They say in unison
“I can’t wait to kick some werewolf butt”
Finn grins
“You guys stay with her today, anywhere she goes you guys go too. I hope you all get along because you're about to spend all your time together”
Branson says from the door
“Yes alpha, of course, we have got her back don’t worry”
“Yep she is our queen after all”
Gunner winks at me, I grin taking a sip of coffee
“So where is the training held?”
I ask Branson
“Down at the packhouse, it’s just a few minute's walks down the path”
“Let’s go then”
