Chapter 65
Alora’s POV
After our breakfast encounter, Jaxon, Victor, Kian, Galen and I go to the training grounds. We were now late, so I knew that was not going to bode well for us. But when we get there, Master Brock is sitting on one of the training benches looking at his tablet. I don’t know why I felt surprised at catching him with a tablet. One of those Galaxy S7 tablets with this S pen.
There was a girl at School who had one. She created amazing art work on it, apparently she was also able to make money off commissions she did on it too, she used an app that would transfer her work on the tablet to her custom desk top she had at home. Not only was she chatty, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)as I only overheard all these details, she loved her technology and was a creative person.
But what would the Master Trainer do with such a device? He was a training Master, didn’t they still use pen and paper? He’s also has a pair of air pod ear buds, in his ears. ‘Ya know….that’s what you get, when you assume the older generations don’t embrace new technology’ I think to myself. Master Brock has obviously embraced technology, which became more apparent when he pulls out one of the new Galaxy S 21 Ultras.
He’s even got the case with the Spen! Like for real? I’m still on the 20! The only reason I even have that is because Darien got tired of my S7 dying on me after I fried the battery. Apparently plugging your phone into a charger with a damaged cord was a bad idea. Darien took the phone with him on his lunch break one day, then he came back with this monstrous upgrade from what I was used to, and said “Happy Birthday, no gift backs because I traded your old phone in for this one.” The Smart ass.
But I’d made sure to get a really good case for it. I even splurged a little and got me a wireless charger, no more risk to my phone with a broken cord. But I got some off brand air pods for twenty dollars, I wasn’t spending that much money on name brand. I didn’t have it, at the time, besides I like my air pods, they work just fine, I wasn’t spending the money now, even though I definitely had it now. 2
We stood there, all of us, just watching him. He was watching something that made him furious at first, then he was smiling. I didn’t know if he was watching the same video or a new one. He glanced up when he saw us, and froze, he looks almost guilty. He closes his tablet case and takes out the pods and puts them away, in their fancy charging case.
“Well you seem very high tech there Master Brock.” I tease him.
He gives me a grumpy face that only makes me giggle. “Just because I’m older doesn’t mean I don’t embrace modern convenience” he snaps.
I really shouldn’t, but I couldn’t help it, I had to say it “So an old dog really can learn new tricks.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)” The smile refused to be contained, it broke across my face wide and bright, the laughter spilling forth at the look of annoyance on his face.
He growls at me, the others are staring at me, their looks a mixture of horror and laughter. “Well if little miss Prince-ass is done laughing.” I shouted a “Hey” at the very pronounced ass he made while saying Princess “Lets get on with the training you all are late for.” He says. 3
He comes to stand in front of us, then he starts sniffing, he steps back and looks at me. He concentrates for a moment before his eyes go wide. “Actually, I’m thinking it would be a very good idea, for you to explain to me everything, that has happened since your last fight training day girly.” His tone while firm also held surprise.
Everything was different now, I am not the same she wolf he saw two days ago. “Sooo00000…….um….well….ya see….it, um…” ‘Where the hell do I start!’ I think in a panic to myself.
“Out with it girly!” he snaps.
He asked for it. “So since birth I’ve been bound by chains created from Black Magic because I came out the wrong color, Bettina never meant me to have my wolf or my power as a Heartsong, Sarah used to carve me up with knives, Bettina liked to burn me with objects and Allister liked to whip me and tried to rape me, and would come into my room at night and stare at me while getting himself off, Sarah was controlling Matt, Beatrice, Lauren and Agatha with spell sachets, she used her control of Matt to
He stands there, and just stares at me, and blinks. ‘I think I broke him’ I think to myself. My thought however was echoed “I think you broke him.” Says Galen.2
We were all looking at each other, till we all jumped with startled “Ah’s” when a snarled “Ya’ll done making ass hole comments!”
me? I’ve head a rough morning already. Sarah…she.” I pause, because truth is, I was still hurt, and I was distracted with the new revelations from this morning.
I sigh “Truth is, I don’t think I’m in the right head space needed for truly intense training, but I need to at least do some conditioning, And see how I feel after that.” I tell him, I didn’t know if he would be understanding.
But he was a Master Trainer, and he knew when and how to push his students. “I’m glad your so self aware Alora, that’s what every good fighter needs to keep themselves alive and from serious injury.” He says. “This is training, not survival, if it was survival I’m more than confident that you’ll put your emotion to the back and persevere.” He assures me. “But in training you can’t push with your mind clouded, that’s how injures occur, hampering further training.” He explains. ☺
He always proved how wise he was, but that made sense. His entire family line, no mater which Clan they affiliated with, currently the Stonemakers, made an effort to learn and progress their training techniques further and further. Gaining knowledge from all around the world. His second sight allowed him to see the power in his students, but that was just one piece, of what made Brock Stonemaker, a Master Trainer.
He starts us of with simple drills, warming up and stretching our muscles. It was extremely important ‘to do that before any kind of exercise. The drills helped me to focus. They allowed me to process all
the thoughts in my head. The movements repetitive, ones I’ve been doing for so long they were instinctual.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) After the warm up drills, there were the basic maneuvers, going through those drills was also instinctual. O
By the time we were done with those I smile. I was finally in the head space I needed to be in. Master Brock saw this and smiled. He came over to me and asked “What do you want to do Girly?” he asks.
“I want to do sword straining with Victor, my Sprite Selena against his, Nicholas.” I tell him.
He looks excited, he smiles then says, “I’ll go get two blades then, but first I need to see you both in your Sprite forms, so I pick out the proper weapons.”
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Werewolf’s Heartsong
I'm really enjoying the story but the overuse of "my mate" starts to get old. Also, I understand that it isn't a final edited copy but lot of grammatical and spelling errors that I'm coming across on all the chapters. Is there someone editing this? Is there a way to remove the update references?...
