His Alpha Female

-16-

"Okay noted." I liked Brinn very much and hoped to create a friendship down the line.

I finally gained enough courage to ask my next question. "What if Kohl and Nara are mates?" He shook his head, chuckling a little bit. "Not possible, they created a family blood bond years ago when Kohl was six and Nara one. They're siblings in the moon's eyes, anything more would be flat-out weird." He said with ease.

I had heard about a family blood bond in a book I read a few years ago. The blood bond was created hundreds of years ago by our elders. Sadly some selfish wolves only adopted to strengthen their bloodline, by combining theirs with the blood of an alpha. It made me sick to my stomach how greedy people could be.

My wolf shook me out of my thoughts as she searched the back of my mind, itching to be let out. Owen sensing my discomfort, shot me a stern look. "Hold her back Parmus, don't let her control you." I closed my eyes in an attempt to resist her future actions, but all it did was leave me with a raging migraine.

Owen shook his head and sighed as he realized I was fighting a losing battle. Before I knew it my clothes were shrugged off as I shifted into my wolf. She sniffed her way to her mate until her nose landed near his navy blue shoes. She stood on her haunches and placed her front two paws in the middle of his stomach as she stared up at him.

He ran his hand through her fur causing her to let out a purr of satisfaction. I mentally slapped myself, feeling embarrassed by her actions. He lead us back to the porch of the pack house, before he sat on one of the steps. My wolf laid on her stomach, occasionally nudging his thigh. Inching forward, she rested her head on his lap. He chuckled and began rubbing her fur once again.

After a while, my wolf let out a restless yawn. Seeing this as my opportunity I pushed her to the back of my mind and took back control. His fingers stilled in my fur as he sensed the change. My eyes darted up to his then back down, feeling ashamed I couldn't control my wolf.

It had become more frequent since I'd been here. I didn't know why, but it was starting to scare me. He proceeded to stroke my fur as he spoke. "It's not your fault. Your wolf is built off of animalistic instinct, but it's up to you to control her. It will hurt and take a lot of energy out of you the first few times, but you have to learn Parmus." Drifting my eyes to his, I sighed.

We sat like that for an hour before he got called into town to handle a dispute. After he left I retreated to my room, where I changed back into my skin. I smiled as my clothes were placed neatly on my bed. My jeans were torn to shreds, but the rest of my oversized clothing was still in good condition.

I changed into a pair of grey thick leggings and a black long-sleeved shirt. Staring at the alarm clock, I sighed. It was 6:37 and I had to meet Carter at seven for training. I was slowly dreading it, but knew it had to be done. Deciding to leave my hair down, I slid on a pair of tennis shoes then left the room.

I didn't have a big appetite this morning so I went with a bowl of cereal. I ate my food on the living room couch as I watched cartoons. You were never too old for cartoons in my opinion.

Time flew by, and by the time I looked back at my phone I had five minutes before I had to meet with Carter. I groaned then placed my empty bowl in the sink. I had to force my sore limbs to take me down the stairs.

When I walked into the gym, Genevieve was glaring down at Carter as he sat on his usual spot of the ring. "It's too early for this shít Eve." He growled, annoyed.

The door slammed behind me, causing them to snap their heads in my direction. I shot them both a sheepish smile, embarrassed to be caught overhearing a bit of their conversation.

Carter sighed and ran his hand over his face. "I'll talk to you later."

"No, we're good." She said as she turned and walked towards me. "Good luck." Was the last thing she muttered to me before she left the gym.

"Um so I guess I'll start moving those rocks." I said with a shrug.

"Oh no, we're doing something different today." I walked towards him, furrowing my eyebrows. "Like what?"

He shot me a smirk. "I'm going to teach you some basic fighting skills." I nodded hesitantly, not sure how this would go.

I spent the majority of practice punching the punching bag and learning how to block punches from my opponent. We were in the ring only a few feet away. "Arms up, always protect the money maker." He motioned to his face and I couldn't help but laugh. I placed my arms in front of my face like he instructed. "Never let your opponent know what your next move is going to be. Keep your eyes locked on theirs."

"Got it." I said nodding.

The sound of the door slamming had my eyes snapping towards the door, where one of the She-wolves walked in. I instantly dropped my arms and regretted my decision as Carter grabbed my arm and twisted it. "Ow!" I said annoyed. "Don't get distracted. You let your arms down, perfect opportunity for me to kill you." He released me, pushing me back a few feet back.

The she-wolf busied herself by folding the clean towels and placing them on the rack on the other side of the room.

Once Carter got his footing he straightened and took a step closer to me. "Okay Parmus, Let's spar." I shook my head instinctively, knowing I was nowhere near ready to go head to head with a Beta wolf. "I'm good."

"Scared?" He questioned with a smirk.

I nodded. "Yeah, I don't want to fight you." It was true, I was terrified. He had years of training on me. It wouldn't be a fair fight.

His smile quickly faded into his usual straight face. "Too bad." That was the last thing I heard before he punched me in the shoulder. I held my shoulder and gawked at him, shocked he actually punched me. "Hey! That's cheating I wasn't ready!" I yelled.

"Do you think the person who is trying to kill you is going to care if you're ready or not?" I shook my head and got into a fighting stance. I knew I wouldn't win this, but I wasn't going down without a fight.

Ah! It's been a week and I know you guys didn't expect an update until next week, but surprisingly my college classes were mostly introductions this week. 10/10 recommend online college classes by the way. It's great for if you're busy and can't physically be in a classroom for hours at a time.

Anyway back to the story. So I hope this chapter cleared up the whole Kohl and Nara mate thing lol. Reasons why they won't me mates: I thought about it, I honestly did but...well it's just weird ya know? A lot of people were saying it would be like Brinn and Titus, but come on guys let's be real. Brinn and Titus did not grow up in the same household and share the same parents lol.

Kohl will still be very protective of his sister. Their sibling bond had already formed when Kohl first touched Brinn's belly while she was pregnant with Nara. I'm sorry if some of you are upset, but just please try to understand.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
