Kira's POV
We continued training for a while until I was stronger and more confident.
"You are becoming good at this every day," Ryker said
"I have a good tutor," I said smiling
"Here!"
Marcus threw two bottles of water at us. We caught them. I opened mine and gulped all of its content at once; we had just finished sparring for like an hour I was damn thirsty.
"Alpha Ryker, your presence is needed in the council," one of the wolf guards said
"I will be there shortly" Ryker replied
I bowed as he turned to leave "Thank you" I yelled
He nodded without looking back.
"I see that you are getting used to our Alpha," Emilia said
Emilia had always been on the ground during my training. I could say she was my closest friend here in the pack; she never left me alone.
"I don't understand what you are saying"
"Are you sure you don't know what I am talking about, or are you just pretending not to know what I am talking about."
"She's going to deny it till the end but she doesn't know that we have been observant" Clara interrupted, laughing hysterically
You remember Clara right? Clara was among the four who had found me at the river and brought me to their pack. Yes, I was getting close to her too.
I was closer to the four of them who had helped me out together with Emilia. They felt like the family I never had.
Heading towards the door, I said trying to hide my smile "I don't understand you two"
"Hmm, okay, okay, okay I understand, we would pretend like we don't know what's going on" Clara laughed hysterically
"Whatever it is you are thinking I will advise you both to stop it," I said smiling
"Did you just blush?" Riley said
"Where did you even come from?" I asked
"I have been standing over there all along" " she said, pointing in a direction not too far from the sparring room. "You guys were just so engrossed in your discussions."
I smiled at her. Marcus later joined in the teasing, and also the fourth guy, Chad, joined.
As we laughed and made fun of each other I watched all of them I didn't know when tears ran down my cheeks
Emilia suddenly asked if I was fine.
"Yeah, I am fine; I am just a little bit overwhelmed," I said cleaning the tears from my cheeks.
"What's wrong, Kira?" Marcus asked
"I am just happy that I have all of you, my heart is filled with joy, you all are the closest thing I have to a family"
"Aww, I am so glad that you are here with us too," Emilia said patting my shoulder
They all came to hug me and I could feel loved.
We talked for a while. The five of them kept gisting me about the history of their packs, and in turn, I told them about my life back at Asha's pack and how my life was a living hell.
Out of the blue, Clara asked if I had still not experienced anything supernatural, I tried to hide how shock I was I guess I did a good job since no one talked about my expression.
Since the day Emilia treated me, I had never felt anything supernatural happen to me since then, so I wasn't lying.
*******
"Hey, you!"
I turned to look behind me, and I saw two masculine-looking guys walking behind me. I ignored them and kept moving
I was coming back from Ryker's heading back home.
"Young lady, are you deaf" one of them yelled from behind
I was getting passed off, but I remembered my first lesson, patience and endurance. It was hard for me, but I had to prove I was a good student, not like Ryker was there watching me.
I kept on walking until I heard a low growl, I knew instantly that it was time for me to get ready for an attack.
I continued walking without stopping.
I could hear his growl getting closer; when I felt him closer, as his hands came at me, I held him, pulled him in and gave him a very hard kick in the groin.
He screamed in pain; I watched as the second moved around, waiting for the right moment to attack; his eyes were still glowing yellow.
He charged at me; I watched him until he got close enough; he threw a punch at me, I dodged it, he threw another, I dodged it, I held his hands and broke his fingers.
He growled in pain. I broke his elbows as well before finally clearing him from the ground. As he landed on the floor, I pounced on him, blowing him until I was sure he wasn't going to be up for a while.
The first guy got back on his feet; he came at me, and he succeeded in landing a blow on my stomach with his werewolf strength. Gosh, it was painful. The force sent me flying backwards, and I ended up hitting my back on a wall.
I laid on the floor for a while, trying to save my strength, I waited till he got close to me.
"How dare an enemy come here, to eat and dine with us"
"I am no enemy," I said angrily
I held him by the leg and used all the strength that I had to pull him down; I jumped up and sat on him. I looked around and found a brick which I used to hit his head.
He stopped struggling; I raised his hands to confirm if he was still alive; I was scared by the way his hands fell back to the ground.
I listened for a heartbeat. The moment I was sure his heart was beating, I stood up and went my way.
Getting to my house I was surprised to meet Ryker standing in front of my door
"How are you here?" I asked
"Well, I took another route to come here after my meeting ended" he paused, his eyes widened as he saw my blood-stained hands.
"What happened to you?"
Looking at my hands, I replied, "It's nothing; I just got into a fight."
"I hoped you dealt with them well enough" he said smiling
We entered inside and he helped me in dressing up my injuries.
