The Alpha and The Protector [Editing in Progress]

chapter 10

By the end of the day, Liam had thirty two wolves in his group while I have thirty one. He thinks I wouldn't be able to handle one more. I just rolled my eyes and said "we'll see."

We had only gone over the basics, letting them get a taste of some of the training they will be getting. Push ups, curl ups, running, wrestling, some martial art moves and a whole lot more. But the martial art moves will be taught on weekends since I know them better with the help of Trenten and Jayne, fellow pack members with some knowledge of martial arts.

By the time eleven thirty hits, everyone was panting and sweating. 

Liam rounds up his group and I do the same to mine. We were to go over the schedule.

"Okay, gang, here's our schedule," I say, looking into everyones eye. "We are to report to the training room at four p.m sharp every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. But every Sunday, all groups must report to the backyard at seven in the morning. The schedule will help relax the sores on the first day. I will be your coach for the rest of the training. We will help one another and be comfortable with each other. This group and training is not just for the competetion, but the war in the future. During this training, you are to think about the lives that you will save. About your family and their protection. Put all your effort into these sessions, and your heart into the war. Now, does anyone have any questions?" There was silence, so I continued, "Okay, gang, be prepared on Monday for training to whoop group two asses." Then, I stretched my fist in the middle."Are we all in?" There were cheers and everybody had fisted their hands in the middle.

This is going to be awesome.

I looked over to Liam and his group to see them huddled together and nodding enthusiasticaly. When Liam caught my gaze, he smirked then winked at me. I stuck my tongue out, mouthing 'loser' to him.

"Okay, pups, partner up and start wrestling your opponent until one surrenders. This will be the last exercise then everyone can all go home."

By the time everyone was paired up and fighting, either in wolf or human form, only one person was partnerless. She was in my group, so I volunteered to be her opponent. She had short blonde hair, hazel eyes, my height, but looks easy to take down. Liam went around carefully assessing everyones work, all the while watching me.

"Okay Nadia," I say as I get into my defense crouch. "I want you to attack me. Give me your best shots."

Nadia had set her face into a look of determination which I had to admire. Fists out, ready to attack, she lunged for me. Her right fist swung out, aiming for my face. I easily deflected the attack by grabbing that wrist and twisting them. I turned her around so her back was to me and arms behind her back. Her left leg flew back and connected with my knees, making me loosen my hold on her. Just as I regained composure, she was alreading turning around, bringing her right leg with her. She swung her leg around, hitting my side. I staggered a bit, but quickly brought my foot out to sweep under her left leg, successfully knocking her down. She fell onto her back with a thud. She quickly wrapped her long legs around my waist, bringing me down on top of her. My arms had automatically reached out, landing next to either side of her head.

This girl is fast. Speed must be her strongest asset.

Nadia rolled over on top of me so her legs were on either side of my body. She brought her fist up, ready to punch me in the face. But I was quicker and punched her in the gut, making her gasp and miss my face by a few inches.

"You're good," I say to her. She grinned at me proudly. I took this time to grab her upper arms and throw her off of me, switching position. "Don't get distracted, though."

I pinned her arms down with my left hand. My right forearm applied pressure onto her collar bone. "Surrender," I whisper to her. 

She growled, "no, I'm not done." Then she shifted into her auburn wolf, quickly springing up, making me fall over. I rolled onto my stomach and got up, dusting my self off.
