Ella's POVDang. I was drained and felt like my soul was moving out of me. I collapsed on the ground with a hard thud after my training. I hadn't bene able to break out of dad's hold and he had been the one to take pity on me and let me go eventually.I felt horrible about being spared this time again than at the aches plaguing my body all over. He had let me go telling me to prepare for the training the next day.I let out a sigh as I turned on my side on the mat and groaned at the pain that went through all my body. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if I died within the next few weeks. Dad didn't have to worry about someone else killing me and cutting my life span short. With the way he was drilling me hard, he was more than enough to kill me.Kevin walked up to me and sat down beside me. "You did well today."I snorted. "You don't have to lie to me. I didn't. I'm not better off than yesterday.""Do you need a massage?" He asked rather than argue that I had actually done well.I

Ella's POV"I did it!" I yelled, my voice as loud as it could be."Yes, you did it." Dad smiled at me. "It was a minimal progress but you're finally showing some signs."I couldn't believe that I had done it. I had gotten my hand out of my dad's hold. I had done it. I was excited. I risked a glance at Kevin to know how he felt about my victory. It had taken me a long time to break out of dad's hold but I would call it victory still.Kevin gave me a slow smile and then looked away. I smiled back, my face bright. He didn't look as excited as I hoped that he would but that was progress enough for me. I would take that.He hadn't spoken to me since I woke up today and I knew he was probably dreading the training later in the evening. He was the first to get to the training ground, wincing everytime I cried out in pain. I knew that he secretly hoped that I collapse so he could swoop in to be the hero and tell my dad that he was right and I wasn't ready yet.I didn't want that to happen tho

Ella's POV"What if the Rogues see the fire we have and attack us again?" I asked two hours into the party while pulling out a stick of roasted meat from the fire."Oh!" The men all groaned. "Why are you being a party spoiler?"I smiled as I heard them all groan. It was fun to rile them up."The rogues are going to find us anyways so we might as well live and enjoy our lives." Kevin said.I nodded as I looked at him. He was right. It wasn't going to make a difference if we had a party or not, the rogues seemed determined to find us and they were going to even if we hid ourselves in a cave and tried to pretend like we didn't exist.I didn't even think that it was possible that we pretended to not exist. The rogues were the ones who shouldn't exist."It seems like the rogues are determined to kill you." Dad said.I sighed. I had opened this line of conversation and officially ruined the party. I hoped the guys could forgive me for that. It wasn't like dad had been talking for the past t

Ella's POV"Someone is following us." Caleb said and turned around.We all looked around but everywhere was deathly silent. I didn't think anyone was following us. I couldn't even hear the sounds of animals and insects as we walked. It was as if they knew that creatures bigger than they were were on the road and had gone into hiding."I don't sense anyone." Kevin said, turning to look at Caleb. "Do you sense anyone?" He asked us, turning to his men."No," I shook my head."No." The men said.I wasn't surprised that they had said that. I didn't think that anyone was with us and had let my senses fly out the moment Caleb said someone was following us but I still couldn't sniff out anyone's scent.I was afraid he was paranoid and letting it get to him but I didn't know how I was going to tell him that without making him mad. It was possible he had heard an animal scurry off into the bush and had let his worry get the best of him and think it was someone following us.I knew how enhanced

Maya's POV"Let's wrap this up quickly. We have to train the wolf pups before it gets too dark. I hate sending those kids home late in the night." I said to the six ladies around me.Someone snickered not too far from me but I knew who it was, even without turning my head. It wasn't anyone other than Selene and her two friends; Sarah and Sasha. The three mischievous and bitter snakes as I liked to call them and tell my best friend, Khloe.I wondered if their parents had known what they were going to become and that was why they had named them by the first letter of a snake. I wondered what kind of snakes they would be if they really were one. Would they be anacondas, pythons or cobras? I shook my head, hating that I had poor knowledge about the crawling reptiles.I narrowed my eyes at them, squinting at their tiny forms which were too small for even for a growing wolf much more a mature female Wolfe and agreed that they had to be rattlesnakes. That was what they were, judging by how s
