When I hear her sniffle, I turn her face to mine and kiss her softly. “You and me Angel. That hasn’t changed.”
She nods and I release her, helping us both to stand. When we do, the warriors begin applauding. I’d been concentrating so hard on making sure I didn’t lose any teeth or get a bone broken that I hadn’t realized that they had all stopped to watch us.
“Nice job Angel.” Rik says to her. “Want to try your hand with an Alpha that’s used to sparring with a Guardian?” He asks her.
She looks at me. I shrug. “Up to you.”
She turns back to Rik, giving him an evil smile then gives him the same ‘come. and get me’ finger curl that I gave her.
This time, I’m able to watch her and really see how she fights. Rik is fast, but not fast enough. She gets in her share of punches and kicks. When she finally sends him flying, he finally concedes. Her technique is flawless, but we need to work on her speed. I want her as fast or faster than the vampires.
“Tomorrow afternoon, be prepared to face a Guardian.” I tell the warriors.” From now until the battle, you’ll be testing your strength and speed against Angel.”
Today’s Bonus Offer
I was really upset with Liam at first when he made those statements about my father. Sc, when I fought him, I didn’t hold back. I was surprised that he was able to stand against me. Alessia has a lot of knowledge about fighting that came to the forefront of my mind while we fought.
When Rik wanted to spar, I was no longer angry, so I was able to focus my attention on finding his weaknesses and taking him out. I was pleasantly surprised when it worked.
After Liam suggests that I spar with all the warriors starting tomorrow, I have an idea. “You should bring Cara and Clint to training tomorrow too.” I say to Rik.
“Why?” He asks me.
“Then you’d have three Guardians to spar with the warriors.”
“No. Cara is pregnant and Clint, well, how would that work?” He asks, referencing Clint being in a wheelchair.
“First,” I tell him, “No one will get close enough to Cara to touch her. Alessia knows her daughter and this is a fact. Second, Clint may be in a wheelchair, but if you think that man can’t hold his own, then you really know nothing about your father-in-law.”
Chase jumps in. “She’s right, about Clint at least. I’m not getting in the middle of you and Cara. But when Eli attacked us with those rogues, we all started tossing them to Clint to help us take them out. He was a machine. Besides not being as mobile as the rest of us, you’d never have believed he was in a wheelchair.” Several of the Canyon Ridge warriors nod in agreement.
Rik sighs. “I’ll bring them, but Cara will not be sparring.”
“Okay.” I say quickly, turning my back on him when I can’t hold my smirk back any longer. We’ll see how Cara feels about that.
Liam reaches out his hand to me. When I put my hand in his, he kisses it. “Are we good?”
“We’re good.”
He smiles at me. “Want to run back in wolf form?”
Alessia starts jumping around in my head. ‘Yes, yes, yes!’
I laugh. “That’s a definite yes from Alessia.”
“Last one back to the packhouse misses out on special
“tom says and jumps into the air, shifting and shredding his clothes, landing on all fours and taking off.
‘Oh no! That cheater is not beating me.’ Alessia says as I jump, shifting, shredding my own clothes and letting Alessia take the lead.
She takes off, stretching out her legs. As soon as Cyran realizes she’s gaining, he pushes harder. Alessia is even faster than she was before, and I was shocked how fast she was then. When we get to the back side of the cliff, she starts jumping up the cliff face. Her agility definitely gives her an advantage and she makes it to the top before Cyran and begins racing for the packhouse. We’re nearly there, pack members rushing to get out of our way, when Cyran tackles Alessia, and we both go rolling. She’s back on her feet and heading for the back door as fast as she can. Cyran nips at her back legs, but she doesn’t stop. Someone opens the back door and she pushes through, howling her success as she continues running up the stairs to our room.
On the stairs, we see Sarah and Dustin. Alessia, stops for a moment to lick Sarah, before continuing our race, skidding out in front of the door to our room.
I can hear Sarah asking Dustin, “What was that?”
“That,” he replies, “was Angel and Liam, obviously racing and it looks like Angel won. The white one was her wolf, Alessia, that stopped to kiss you. I’m guessing she appreciates everything you did to help Angel during that time with the coven. The sandy brown wolf was Cyran, Liam’s wolf.”
I shift, opening our door and heading straight to the bathroom. Liam is right behind me. “I win.” I tell him and start to pull him into the shower with me.
I continue to be amazed at Alessia’s power. I’m not sure if she always had these gifts, but they just keep manifesting. My little mate is the most amazing woman I’ve ever met. The Moon Goddess really blessed me when she mated me to her.
I spend the rest of the day preparing for Angel’s Luna ceremony. My Alpha ceremony was not a happy occasion, and it wasn’t a celebration. I intend to change that for Angel. The entire pack and many of Rik and Cara’s pack have been invited.
I met with Olivia this morning to make sure that she had enough help to prepare and feed nearly 1000 werewolves tonight. Since Dustin is out of commission, working with Sarah, I have Jackson get the music, dance floor and lighting set up.
While Angel is with Clint, I take the time to go out back and see that the warriors are setting up a stage and the lighting and speakers for the music are being set up around the back of the packhouse. take a moment to breathe in the fresh air and enjoy that fact that Angel will officially be a member of my pack and the pack’s Luna in a few hours. The relief I had when I realized that she had taken over the planning and preparations of the kitchen and meals was almost overwhelming. I’ve been alone, doing everything, or almost everything for so long, that I didn’t even realize how much of a weight it was on me.
“Alpha.” Dustin says as his hand lands on my shoulder.
I turn and look at my Beta. “Dustin. What are you doing here? I thought you’d be with Sarah.”
“She’s taking a nap, and I wanted to see if I could help while she’s sleeping.”
I look around at the preparations, squinting. “The flowers haven’t arrived yet. I’ll
“I’m on it.” He says and pulls out his phone.
While he calls the florist, I look around again. Everything seems to be coming together. I’m not sure if the pack just hasn’t had a reason to celebrate in a long time, or if it’s Angel that is bringing everyone out to assist. I’m hoping it’s the latter. It’s important for the pack to have a Luna that they admire and respect.
“Flowers will be here in 15 minutes. What else?” Dustin asks.
“Actually, it looks like everything else is done, or getting done.” I say, feeling unneeded for the first time in, well, ever.
“Good. Do you have the ceremonial knife and chalice?
I snap my fingers. “Let’s go find them, I think they’re in the safe.”
After getting the last items for tonight, I begin working on other things that have been needing my attention. Dustin and I work for another hour before we hear Sarah moving around above us. “I need…”
‘Go. I know she’s your first priority.” I smirk at him. “Does all that stuff that I told you make sense now?” referencing our previous conversation about mates.
