Kavi's POV
After hearing Luna Mithra's statement. My wolf started howling inside me in anger and sadness as she couldn't even want to think about another man as our mate and she misses him already. I spent a few more minutes there and made my way back to pack house telling that I was feeling tired from the journey. I denied Mukilan to accompany me as I don't want to make him miss things because of me. I can't be invisible here as already Alpha Sezhiyan made it clear to everyone to protect me. I locked myself in the room. I need to find a way to learn about that monster. I can't move forward in my life until I take revenge.
Next morning, I woke up startled to the banging at my door. I quickly fixed myself and wore my contacts as I didn't want to make my mom feel bad at this early morning. But I smelled roasted almonds with a slight hint of caramel which was Alpha Sezhiyan's scent. Sezhiyan's scent is actually roasted almonds and caramel is Luna's scent. I sleepily welcomed him inside. He was just wearing his shorts and sweating. I looked at him questioningly.
"What are you doing here at this early morning, Sezhiyan?"
I asked in my sleepy voice and sat down on my bed hugging the pillow. I heard him chuckling and he threw my pillow aside and pulled me up.
"The time is six thirty, sleepy head. Go and freshen up. You start your training today. That's a rule for everyone. You can't escape."
He said as a matter of fact. I forgot that this pack let females train and also they would even get rank if they proved their power.
"But I don't have my wolf. I never trained in my old pack. Mom too said that's better."
I got alerted as my fighting would be much harsh. I never trained with anyone. I only fought with rogues and I never have gone easy on them except that boy, Logan. But still, he too ended up with dislocated ankle.
"You can't use that card here missy. I could smell your wolf. So let's train you in human form. Also, you are champion in karate and kickboxing, right? I want to see my girl kicking some asses of few egoistic teens. Come on. I know you can do it, Kavi. If you didn't come to the backyard within five minutes, I will carry you there."
He said in strict tone but didn't use his authority which I liked in him. He left the room to give space for me to get ready. I sighed and quickly freshened up and threw some black sports bra and knee-length shorts before making my way down.
When I walked into the back yard everyone paused and stared at me. But their faces showed a warm and encouraging smile. I saw Aryan uncle and Mukilan were fighting in human form. Few wolves were training in their wolf form. A huge black wolf quickly ran behind a tree and Alpha Sezhiyan came out. He had a big grin and he introduced me to Mithun, the Pack's Head warrior. He looked like a man in his mid-thirties with brown hair and grey eyes which reminded me of my mate. I should stop leading all my thinking towards him.
Mithun will be training me today and Sezhiyan chose to watch. He asked me to fight him so he could judge my skills and he could help me to improve my skills. I don't know whether I should show my fighting skill here but I vowed to protect this pack. So I need to improve myself which would be an advantage when I come face to face with that monster.
It was weird to fight without a mask. I stood there still while Mithun too stood patiently waiting for me to make the first move. After a whole minute, he let out a sigh.
"You don't have to be afraid and hesitate. Okay, let us see your defence reflexes. I am going to throw some punches and kicks. Let us see how you defend yourself okay?"
I internally rolled my eyes for his quick judgement but I can't blame him as he was informed that I never trained before. Also, he couldn't recognize my calm aura. So I simply nodded.
He got closer to me and started with few strikes which I easily dodged. My wolf was attentive and helping me to focus. All of sudden, he tried to swipe my feet but I jumped and I knew what comes next and bent backwards dodging his punch. We went on for the next fifteen minutes and he trickily struck me three to four times when I least expected and he wasn't using his wolf power.
Alpha Sezhiyan stopped us as he claimed it was boring and asked us to fight. Mithun was happy so far and he surprised to see my reflexes and suggested me a few moves on defence which I eagerly listened. It's good to have a coach too. Mithun told that I could stop and do exercises if I want but Sezhiyan wanted me to fight. Mithun asked one of the she-wolves to help me with training. A she-wolf stepped in the circle who had a disgusted look on seeing me and smirked at me. She must be new because I couldn't recall her from my childhood memories.
"Don't cry when I break your nose or bones, human. And I won't go easy on you. You need to know your place. See who wins this challenge."
She spat out venomously. Ah! Every pack has some bitches like her.
I noticed Alpha Sezhiyan tensing up and wolves can't deny challenges and it will be marked as cowardness for a wolf to retreat a challenge.
"This is her first day and there is no challenge going to happen here. We are only training here. And don't you dare disrespect your fellow pack member, Pooja."
Mithun warned and Alpha Sezhiya let out a growl in acceptance.
"Oh, pack members should be part-wolves and part-humans, not someone pathetic like her."
She replied cockily. Before Sezihyan could speak, I spoke.
"I accept your challenge. But what if you lose?"
I asked calmly in a soft voice. I wanted to ask her for the fight to the death but I don't want to show myself as a merciless killer on the day here. She didn't know how much a cruel bitch I am.
"Ah! I think you lost your mind along with your wolf."
She smirked but soon frowned when I didn't cry or break down or let alone change my expression at her mention of my wolf getting lost.
"Fine, If you win which would only happen in your dreams, I will do whatever you say. Do you have the guts to say that?"
Such an over-confident crazy bitch! I
Know you would beg me from tearing you apart if I want to. My wolf would never let me slip a challenge. It's her pride to win and show who she is to the world. Even if it takes her to shift, she will. That's a wolf thing! That's why I chose to remain invisible. But when fate makes you do something, I will choose to go with its flow. It would have something better inshore rather than my very own choices.
"Great. Same goes to me."
I said and smiled re-assuringly at Alpha Sezhiyan who had worry etched in his features. From his stance, he would step in anytime when he noticed I am hurting but sadly that wasn't going to happen. Now the pack members circled around the line. It gave me a wave of motivation and feel like the rogue fight. My wolf was so ready to rip the female's head but I can't let her do something which would have bad consequences.
