To say I was tired would be the understatement of a century; I was beyond fucked up, my legs were filled with scratches, my hair saggy with sweat and my wolf was beaten by the talented trainer.
"You should focus more on your hind legs and do more practice to enhance your wolf abilities as well as yours." The green fields stretched along the pack territory and the other dead wolves field was on the border of the pack, the weather was humid and I couldn't wait to take a shower.
We can take a shower with our mate and let him mark us. Lace heatedly suggested and I let that thought cross my mind for a second. Our mate came to us, bare-chested and jeans hung low on his hips. He was mouth watering; sweat glistened under the sun on his chest, making him bronze in color and his sculpted features grinned at me in a warm glow of the light.
He caught us checking him out as he raised his eyes into mine in amusement, I fidgeted when he came.
"Had a good practice?" He asked and I groaned out a yes, my muscles were aching and I never had to train before so it took a whole lot of time to get used to that.
He chuckled as he hugged me and his sweat meshed on my body, I let out a gasp in disgust as I shoved him back playfully and he was let back laughing, my shirt was all in his sweat.
"When will the battle start?" I opened an even serious topic and his face changed from playful to strict mode.
"At seven pm, it's almost three pm and we have a lot more training to do so clean yourself up and join the other women into the safe house." He instructed and I grew uneasy, the thought that I was going to defy his rules again and his reaction to that made me hesitant.
We have to protect our mate. Lace reasoned and I agreed, he could be angrier but we were willing to take the risk for that. We had to stop it before more got killed.
I went into the cool aired mansion and hurried to my room to take a long shower in order to soothe my tight muscles.
I leaned my head on the bathroom tiles as the hot water calmed my nerves down. I was going to break the ultimate rule and I had to feel strong-willed about it.
I finished my needed shower and wrapped the towel around my wet body, padding into my room, I stopped in my tracks at the sight on my bed.
It was Masa; her eyes opened up to the ceiling and blood pooled around her body and onto my bed sheets.
She was dead and all directions pointed at me, I was doomed if my mate found out about this, the veins trembled inside my body and I tried to take calm breaths. She was naked with a huge slit on her stomach where the organs peeked out.
I went to action as I fully clothed myself and grabbed her body to the floor as I lifted off the bloody sheets, hiding her with the sheets in the empty closet beside my bed. I didn't want to worry anyone before the war, they were going to be frantic and the Alpha would suspect that it was me because of the banters we had between each other.
With my fast heartbeat, I locked the closet and my window was open to pushing the reeks of the dead body out. I had to know who did this. Messy feelings tumbled inside my body and I couldn't help but feel a bit dizzy because how fast things happened in front of me.
I went out acting calm and collected to the safe house, the time passed to six pm as I strolled around the safe house after helping the guards to ensure nobody was left outside and locking all rooms. Even though they completely humiliated me, I had to act like a Luna to this pack.
"I'm going to be fine, Desti, just stay safe in here and don't do anything reckless." The Alpha told me after he came to say his final words before the cruel war happens.
He kissed my eyelids and forehead, going down to my neck and sniffing my scent to make him stronger.
"I'll have to mark you after the war." He whispered in my ear and I was silent, I had no reaction. All I knew was I had to break the war off.
I kissed his cheek and told him to be careful, I would find the jealous girls that stood beside us hilarious as they shoot daggers at me but I was too focused on my mate.
"I promise I won't die." He smirked as he left a small kiss on my lips and embraced me, I grew teary-eyed against his chest for what was I about to do.
He might not die but I might. The thought of him having to lose his second chance mate made me feel very sad but I had to, I couldn't stand fights anymore after what happened to my family.
With one final kiss on his jaw, he stormed out to get ready and I sat down while the women inside the wooden room murmured in fear for their husbands and the Alpha's sister joined me to comfort my never-ending nervousness.
