Filed to story: Divorce Tears From The Alpha (Ella & Holden)
“Use mine.” Ella smiled, she wanted the pics on her phone. Gabby took her phone and once the girls were all dressed, they stood with their bows and posed in lots of different way. While Gabby took lots of photos, she sent a few to her own phone and to James’s as well, Ella insisted on one to the Alpha, explained she’d promised him seeing as he was allowing her to train them, all kitted out today.
Ella headed off with the girls to the training ground, they were so darn cute in their little matching outfits carrying their bow cases. Ella sighed she love them so much, she was glad Gabby and James had accepted them. The two little girls before her were so happy, Ella didn’t know if she could have raised them to be so happy. Yes she loved them to bits, but sometimes looking at them brought back that dreadful day and made her so very sad.
She walked, they ran once outside. As she walked past the Hummer she’d seen that big bastard, she now knew his name. Alpha Holdener, standing next to watching her this morning, Ky’ra surged forward and clawed down the drivers side door in several places puncturing around the door handle, and then continued to walk past dragging her claws all the way down the rest of his car.
‘What are you doing?’
‘Call me a Mutt.’ she’d snarled ‘I’ll act like one.’ then she had chortled.
‘Oh you are going to get us into so much trouble.’ Ella shook her head and looked around thankfully no one was watching them to identify it was her. And she chuckled as well. ‘I think he deserve it to, sized up Gabby and scared her.’
Her wolf was unpredictable at times, a law unto herself, calling Ky’ra a mutt was not nice. Then the way his wolf had stood up to tower over her a show of dominance this morning. Then finding out he had frightened Gabby, it was not particularly surprising to Ella, that Ky’ra found an amusing way for them to pay him back for all the insults.
Ky’ra had bared her teeth and snarl at his wolf this morning, showed him she didn’t care for his display of power. He was not her Alpha. We were not required to bow down to him or his wolf, and now she was really showing him how much she to, could be disrespectful to another wolf.
‘Disrespect.’
‘Deserves disrespect.’ Ella agreed.
Half way through training she could feel eyes upon her and turned her attention in the direction she felt it come from. Saw that big bastard watching her from the corner of the pack-house, his Beta next to him, Alpha Holdener, Gabby had said. ‘go ahead and watch’ she thought and turned away and continued to train and instruct the twins, who were now dressed as she was. They had been training with her for two years now, and knew what to do. How to follow her lead and they paid attention eager to learn.
New bows took some getting used to, she was here today helping them to get used to their new weapon. Fine tune them and learn to use them correctly, make those tiny adjustments so they were better fitted to the girls.
Ky’ra’s hearing picked up the word mutt again, a snarl erupted from her, her whole body stilled.
Ella tapped both girls on the shoulder, she retrieved her own bow from her back, stepped in front of them so they could watch her and follow. Notched an arrow, the girls mimic her actions exactly. Then she turned and looked directly at him, brought her bow around and aimed her arrow right at him “Call me a mutt again. I dare you.” she and Ky’ra snarled right at him. Both girls were also aimed at him, she knew his enhanced Alpha hearing would have caught her words.
She watched as his Beta put a hand on his Alpha’s shoulder, who was taking a step forward. He’d realised her intent, it was not a challenge she was offering, it was a direct threat that if he called her a mutt once more, she would put an arrow in him regardless of who he was.
Ella knew she couldn’t actually shoot him. It would likely start a war, but she could put one into the wall right next to his head. His Beta seemed to have more common sense, held him back. Ella turned her own bow away from him and back to the target down the other end of the training ground, and while staring right at him, never looking away from him, let her arrow loose. She knew her aim would be true, this was a skill she had mastered years ago even without her wolf. Mastered yes, but still trained to do every day she was able to train.
Both the girls let fly down the training field as well, their moves still mimic hers as she expected them too. She watched as his eyes moved to sight her shot. Registered him realise she had not missed her mark, with a bit more than surprise.
Then she simply turned away from him and walked away with the twins in tow, to collect their arrows. He left not long after that.
Ella continued to train with the twins, the last thirty minutes being with knives and throwing practice. The girls were still learning this one and only got to use wooden training blades. They were still getting use to the feel of them, they were still having difficulty with not getting the bladed end into their desired targets. But it was new to them, James didn’t want them learning to play with knives at all. Ella wanted her baby sisters to be able to defend themselves, whether from a distance or up close and personal. Up close and personal was the likeliest problem so she had pushed hard on the subject, and he had finally relented just three months ago.
She sent them home for dinner and headed home herself food and a quick nap before border patrol. Tonight rogues would be in higher numbers and she wanted to be well rested, as she was intending on heading out earlier as the moon was rising at 2100. So she needed to be on the border and already alert by then. So a quick two hour nap was due before her up coming 10 hours of patrolling ahead of her.
She left the house in wolf form at 2000. Making sure to be well gone, before the goddess started playing match maker with the wolves. She could already hear the music being played as the mating ball was now underway, up in the ballroom on the eastern side of the pack-house. Any un-mated wolves from her pack were allowed to attend, all border patrols would be mated wolves with the exception of her.
She would not be attending the ball, never did and Luna Lindy held one every 3 months here. For the last 8 years so far so good, the goddess had seen fit to leave her alone.
Her mating to Matthew on her 18th birthday was because her birthday had fallen on the full moon itself. It had been one of those rare days where you could see the moon in the afternoon sky already. Cheeky goddess she was, always managed to sneak in a few ways to mate off her wolves.
Though wolves found their mates only on full moon nights, hence mating balls under the full moon. There were a few lucky ones that connected outside of full moons, though Ella figured their beasts must be pretty special to do that.
Alpha Corey mind-link her just after she started patrolling ‘Ella you don’t happen to know anything about a visiting alpha’s car being damaged do you?’
‘I know nothing.’ she replied a smile in her voice unable to hide it. She was nearly laughing and desperately trying not to. And technically it wasn’t her.
‘Ky’ra wouldn’t happen to know would she?” he was not stupid. And her amusement would be heard down the link.
‘Ky’ra does as she pleases Alpha, I can’t control her sometimes.’ she was laughing now couldn’t help it even Ky’ra was fully amused.
‘For the love of the goddess Ella…get to my office now.’
‘On patrol Alpha. Extra rogues will be coming in. Can it wait? Not like he’s going anywhere right this minute now is it!” she was still laughing couldn’t help it, she knew Ky’ra had stuffed up the door handle, and he wasn’t going to be able to get the door open any time soon.
‘ Fine…but you and Ky’ra get your butts in my office directly after patrol. DO I make myself clear.’
‘Yes Alpha, perfectly clear.’ she laughed oh they were in so much trouble.
‘I mean it.’ he snapped at her angrily, at all her amusement and severed the link.
‘Ah Ky’ra, look you got us into trouble again.’
