A month has passed since the reporters came to interrogate Alpha Azrael before he decided to threaten and scare them.
During that time, the humans have grown much closer to the Alpha. There was a stronger bond and better relationship between them.
April Herrington grew closer to both Alex and Azrael. Alex made sure she spent more time with her to keep her away from Alpha Azrael.
During this week, the soldiers of the pack trained like never before as if preparing for war.
Everyone was on high alert, and they kept wondering why the Alpha was pushing them so hard and thinking something was going to happen.
Alpha Azrael also spent more time with the team training tirelessly and pushing his werewolf abilities to the limit of his strength.
Every day, he grows stronger and learns more about his capabilities.
In an open field crowded by transformed werewolves, Alpha Azrael was walking around in his werewolf form, observing the fights between his men.
Beta Londan was the only one who hasn't transformed. He stood aloof at a side watching the werewolves growl and grapple with each other.
"Use your inner strength, you're a wolf not a chicken. Don't be so easily shoved off your feet. Find your stamina...Find your inner wolf..." Alpha Azrael shouted as he kept pacing about.
A werewolf suddenly jumped on another and slashed his claws toward the head of another.
The other werewolf spun out of the way like a boomerang and barely managed to keep his balance.
At this time, Alpha Azrael started clapping. He was impressed with that move. He turned his attention to another sparring werewolf.
A female werewolf growled as she rushed towards her male partner.
The partner stood confidently with raised shoulders and a cool gaze as he watched the girl approach gradually.
The girl abruptly jumped so high and slammed her claws toward the head of the male partner.
The male partner swerved to the side at the last minute and did a small somersault to break his momentum.
The female werewolf didn't stop after landing, she got up and sped towards her partner again with her muscles stretched to the maximum.
The man swerved at an impossible angle at the last minute and caught the female werewolf by the throat.
She shrieked and slashed down on her sparring partner. The force of her fist forced the male counterpart to release his grip on her and move backward.
It was a stalemate between the two of them.
With all these scenes that Alpha Azrael was taking in, he was getting more impressed and happy.
When Alpha Azrael started working with the army, he found them weak and very unorganized. He started with that and a lot of discipline.
Gradually they built strength and felt even closer to their Alpha.
The bond grew stronger as the days passed by. Alex would at times show up during their practice sessions to greet her love while bringing April along.
After this round of bouts, the practice session ended for the soldiers and Alpha Azrael released them to go and have their rest.
At that exact time, April and Alex Bayly arrived to meet the soldiers as they stopped their sparring.
With experience and over time, they've noticed that the soldiers usually ended practice around this time, although they seldom come when the soldiers were practicing, they preferred to come at the time when Alpha Azrael was free so they could go home together.
Alex and April approached the training ground together and there was an instant cacophony of whistling everywhere.
People were shouting and making faces at the beautiful pair as they approached the training ground but they were mostly jeered at April.
With the provision of Alpha Azrael, April has gradually bloomed like a flower, releasing glimpses of the beauty that eluded her thanks to her rough and tough childhood.
The men couldn't conceal their desires.
They also restricted themselves from making those noises for Alex Bayly because of who she was in the pack as the girl of the Alpha.
Out of respect and adoration for the Alpha, they turned all their attention to Alex.
April immediately became the center of attention and she was reveling in it.
April also began to catwalk toward the men. It was not graceful and appeared forced but nonetheless, the men were content to chant her name.
April smiled when she got to the center of the men who made a clearing for her and they got closer and rallied around her.
"April, you're beautiful would you want to be my girlfriend? I promise I'll take care of you..." One of the men spoke out.
"April, don't follow him, he snores like a bear, follow me, I will really care for you, I promise..." Another spoke up.
"April, don't mind anyone here, you are my all-time crush. Ever since I first saw you when you came to watch our first training, I knew we were meant to be together.. please pick me..." Another shouted.
April ignored them as she walked around with a suppressed blush, masked by a straight face. Alpha Azrael was monitoring the situation quietly but he didn't even speak nor did he behave as if he was aware.
"Azrael, why do you frown so much when the boys woo April? it's not like she is in any danger from dating any of them." Alex spoke to Azrael while stroking his arms playfully.
She could see that Although Alpha Azrael was quiet and didn't react, he was deeply bothered by the way they usually rally around her.
Alex would have been fooled too by his quiet disposition if she couldn't feel his exact emotions and desires within her body.
Her connection with him was what made her realize that the act of men wooing April bothered Alpha Azrael so much.
He had already grown so attached to April that anyone who didn't know April's identity before would probably think she is naturally the Alpha's sister and not adopted. They even have similarities in their facial construct.
At this time, April blushed all the way back to Alpha Azrael who was still yet to respond to Alex Bayly.
Alpha Azrael looked towards Alex who on the other hand, wanted to know why Alpha Azrael frowned at the boys wooing his sister.
He couldn't answer the question now that April was around so he just turned his head to indicate to Alex to put the question aside for now.
"Brother, what are you talking about, why are you so quiet..." April hopped happily as she moved closer to Alpha Azrael.
"Do you like any of them?" Alpha Azrael suddenly asked as he got up and walked closer to April.
April first observed in confusion the serious tone of Alpha Azrael and the way he moved closer made her a bit uncomfortable.
"Do you like any of the men who daily want you to be their girl?... " Alpha Azrael reiterated.
"uhm, Did I do something wrong?" April asked in confusion.
