I’m sniffing the flowers as I follow him into the kitchen. “Where in the world did you find flowers in late January?”

He turns to me with a smile. “They are called Winter Aconite and they grow wild in my territory. Every time I see them, the beautiful yellow color reminds me of Artemis’s eyes.” At that, Artemis pushes forward to show off the color of her eyes. Liam steps closer to me, putting his hands on my hips, his eyes darkening with Cyran pushing forward. “There they are, those beautiful eyes that I love.”

Before things can go any further, I hear dad wheeling into the living room. Alpha Liam I presume.”

LL

As Liam steps away to greet my father, I put the flowers in water. I notice that Cyran stays forward as Liam walks to my father and extends his hand. “Warrior Nelson. It is an honor to meet you sir.”

Dad reaches his hand out and shakes Liam’s. “A polite and respectful Alpha. I like you already.”

“But, I hope you don’t think that means that I’ll go easy on you Alpha. Since I found out yesterday that I’d get to train you, I have been thinking of ways to ensure you get the best workout of your life today.”

“The honor is mine sir and I would expect nothing less from the greatest warrior

“Flattery will get you nowhere son. Are you ready to start?” Liam grins at dad and turns to me, “Ready when you are Cara.”

“Then let’s go.”

For the next two hours, Dad put us through our paces. Training with Liam is a lot different than training with our warriors. Warriors are strong and know how to fight, it is their job after all. But there is a reason that Alphas lead the pack. Liam was incredible. Strong, powerful, fast, agile, but always in control. I wasn’t sure about Liam, but for me, this is the toughest workout I can ever remember having.

Dad is a great instructor. When Liam would best me, he’d stop us and talk it through, telling me how to get out of his grip or avoid getting caught again, playing to strengths and using Liam’s against him.

The same would happen when I bested Liam. Dad would give him pointers on how best to use his strength to escape a hold or avoid it altogether. Towards the end, we were both panting, trying to catch our breath.

Dad then decides it’s ninja warrior time. After we both guzzle some water, he calls us over to the obstacle course. I can see the gleam in Liam’s eyes. He was hoping to try this out today.

Dad sets the expectation. We will both start at the same time. We will be competing to reach the end first but we both have to go through the same obstacles. The obstacles are designed to test your upper body strength, lower body strength, core strength, speed, agility, you name it, dad had it set up in this masochistic obstacle course.

After establishing the rules and how to win, dad asked if there were any questions. Liam turns to look at me, “Yeah, how many times have you run this course, little badass?”

I give him a fake offended look, “In the interest of fairness, Alpha, this is my first time.”

“Fair enough” and he reaches out to shake my hand. “May the best badass win.”

“Oh, I’m winning alright.” I retort as we head to the starting line.

We get set and dad shoots a starter gun. We both take off like a shot, climbing up to the first obstacle. The first one is primarily upper body strength. I’m strong, but not as strong as Liam and he gets ahead of me. The next obstacle is balance. I cream him here and not only catch up, but get ahead as he falls and has to climb back up. The next obstacle is core strength mixed with upper body as we have to swing from bar to bar and also judge the distance so we don’t fall, similar to a flying trapeze, only there are multiple shapes. I can feel Liam catching up to me, so I take a chance and rather than catching onto the circular ring, I arrow myself through it and catch the next bar, swinging myself onto the ramp and running to the next obstacle. From there, objects come swinging off the walls to knock us to the ground. This requires a combination of agility and balance. Liam and I are neck and neck when we finish this one. Next up is the rope ladder that takes us nearly to the roof and a balance beam that is only about 2 inches wide. We run across, both of us nearly losing our footing before jumping to the slide, sliding back to the ground then racing to the finish line. We both hit the buzzer sounding that we won at the same time. We tied.

We look at each other, sucking in air like we’re about to pass out and then we both start laughing, falling to the ground. I lay on my back and Liam sits with his arms around his knees, both of us trying to catch our breath.

“Nice job you two. When you catch your breath, I’ll meet you inside.”

Liam recovers faster than I do and leans over me. “I’d say we’re pretty evenly matched, wouldn’t you?”

I look into his beautiful sage green eyes and smile. “I almost had you.”

He smirks back, “Almost doesn’t count, beautiful.” He leans in and gently kisses my lips. I respond instantly, my hand going to his hair.

Liam takes this as approval and deepens the kiss as I moan softly. He nips my bottom lip requesting entrance to my mouth. When I open, he wastes no time sliding his tongue inside, seeking mine. Our tongues fight for dominance again, and he wins, taking this opportunity to slide his hand under my tank top so he is touching skin. A shiver of pleasure runs through my body and a possessive growl rumbles through his body, causing my nipples to harden in pleasure. His hand begins to graze the bottom of my sports bra and he moves closer so his body is laying beside mine and I can feel the heat of him through our clothes.

He leans over me, sliding one leg in between mine. I can feel his hard length against my thigh. It’s considerably larger than I was expecting, having nothing to compare it to. But if I’m being honest, even just feeling it, I’m not sure how that monster would ever fit inside me. Before I can go too far down that road, Liam runs his thumb over my pebbled nipple and my back arches involuntarily as I gasp in pleasure. That feeling goes straight to my core, causing heat to pool between my legs.

Liam moves to kissing my neck, and I feel him taking deep breaths. I know he can smell my arousal. “You smell so fucking good baby.” I would respond, but I’m overwhelmed with the rush of sensations I’m feeling. I’ve masturbated before, sure, but that never felt like this.

I feel Liam’s canines graze my marking spot and I stiffen in his arms. “Liam.”

He pulls himself away from my neck. “I know, baby. We need to stop before I get too carried away. But damn, you smell so good.” He watches me as he runs his thumb over my nipple again and I’m not sure what he sees in my eyes but my lips. part and it elicits another growl from him, causing me to moan in pleasure again.

He groans, pulling away from me. “Come on baby, if we stay like this for another minute, I’ll be tempted to skip dinner and have you for dessert.” He hops up to his feet and extends his hand to me. I take it and he pulls me to my feet, pulling my tank top back down.

He takes my face in his hands, kissing me gently. “You will be the death of me. He takes my hand and leads me back toward the house.

It’s Friday and I’m really excited about today’s gift. It took a lot for me to get it, and even pulling strings, I still had to fight for it..

After yesterday, I’m getting all kinds of side eyed looks from both my pack. members and Liam’s. There is no issue between our packs and it needs to stay that way, so I don’t say anything, just put on my arrogant Alpha face and continue walking.

I’m at my locker getting books for class, not really paying attention, when hands. come around me from the back and slide across my abdomen. I can tell by the scent of rosewater that it’s Sheila. Have I mentioned I’m not a huge fan of the scent of rosewater?

“Alpha, I’ve missed you.” One hand slides down the inside of my jeans to where she can touch me. “It’s Friday and I was wondering if you’d like to party tonight. We had so much fun last week.” week, this would have been a completely welcome offering of a good fuck. Today it doesn’t even cause my dick to twitch. Not only is my body not responsive, but the last thing I need is Cara seeing me like this and taking it wrong.

I grab Sheila’s hand pulling it out of my jeans as I step out of her embrace. ” Sheila. Nice to see you, but I have to get to class. As you might remember, tomorrow is my birthday, so I won’t be doing any partying tonight.

“So, I’ll see you tomorrow, Alpha, at your party?” She states as I start to walk away. “Sure.” I say to get her to go away. I don’t hear whatever else she says or see her smug smile as she turns to her friends.

The time is crawling today. By the time lunch rolls around, I’m nearly desperate to see Cara’s reaction to my gift. ‘She’s going to love it.’ Kai reassures me.

‘I hope so, I’d hate to think we used our favor for something that she didn’t even like.’

‘Rik, it’s a perfect gift, trust me. It tells her we know who she is, understand what she needs and wants and that we value her for the person and wolf that she is.

‘Ailduin wasn’t thrilled to part with the book.’

‘He would have been less thrilled if his son had died in that explosion three years ago.’ Kai remarks.

“Which is why I know he’ll deliver today.”

I watch as Cara enters. I can tell she thinks that her suitor was scared off by Liam yesterday. Not a chance Little Guardian. I’m here to stay. She looks disappointed until the room goes quiet and then the buzz of chatter starts almost immediately. Most wolves have never seen a fae. They are rare and don’t particularly like werewolves, feeling that our lives are too violent. They prefer to live peaceful lives among the humans, typically identified as ‘tree-huggers, hippies or free spirits’. For wolves, there is no peaceful life among humans, not unless we hide who we really are.

I watch as Ailduin walks to Cara, confirms who she is and then, after the briefest of hesitations, hands her the book.

The book has been in Ailduin’s family, the royal fae family, for generations. The only reason I know that it even exists is because I happened to see it when I returned Aolis, Ailduin’s son, to him after finding him in a hunter’s bunker. The hunters knew that we had found them so they were trying to get rid of the evidence by bombing the building, letting it and all the supernatural inhabitants burn alive.
