Caleb-
“Kyra, drop the fucking shield!” I tried yelling again, but once again, she ignored me and continued fighting with Rex.
That’ll teach me to deny her. At least if I was the one sparring with her, I could limit how much she was injured. Watching Rex, he wasn’t pulling any punches. Granted, she seemed to be holding her own, but for how long? Realizing there was nothing more I could do, I walked away and I saw everyone had stopped training.
“Get back to it!” I growled.
They did as I said, without complaint and I looked one last time over my shoulder. I saw Rex had a smirk on his face as he watched me walk away. I didn’t like the guy. Never really have. He always seemed like he was better than everyone. Okay so yeah he technically was, being who he was related to. But I wanted to knock the holier than thou look off his face.
I wasn’t really mad at him though, or even Kyra. I was still pissed at Hunt
Hunter-I let him go past me, but the way he just brushed me off had my blood boiling. Who the hell did he think he was? I get that what I did had been the worst mistake of my life. That was the thing though, it was my life. Not his. Not even his mate, she was mine. So where did he get off thinking he could act the way he was with Kyra?Following him, I did my best to wrangle in my temper. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was carrying Kyra I would have put him in his place right then and there. She was his only saving grace right now. I waited until he placed her on the bed in one of the rooms and stepped out of the way, so Doc could check her over.“Come here, now!” I commanded.I watched as he did his best to fight off the command. His body went rigid with the effort. I could see it written all over him, that it was hurting like hell as he tried to ignore the command. Good. In the end, he had no choice and came to stand in front of me
Kyra-“Ugh.” I groaned.I once again woke up in the same room I had been in after I had gotten hurt. Maybe I hadn’t been as well as I thought. Sitting against the headboard of the bed, I had no intentions of getting up. I felt like crap. I have been up for more than an hour and I have been alone ever since. Maybe I should have felt just a bit of concern that neither Hunter nor Caleb were here.The last time they had attempted to kill each other. Right now I just didn’t care. I was getting tired of the way they were acting towards each other. I get that I got hurt, but it wasn’t as bad as they were making it seem. Yeah, so maybe I passed out again while sparing with Rex. It had been my own fault.My arm had hurt but I pushed through the pain to the point it became unbearable and I could no longer ignore it. Something had to change though, their attitude was affecting everyone. At least Brett seemed fine. Okay so sure I kept ca
Kyra-“Now I know most of you have seen or may have heard of what happened to me, but I promise I will be fine. As I am also aware most of you know that things have been a bit tense between the Alpha and Beta since the event, I have decided I will now be stepping up to handle things. Until they can get over themselves, I will not allow them to keep affecting the rest of us. We have a war to prepare for and stalling is getting us nowhere.” I paused briefly, to take a deep breath.Standing here in front of everyone was a bit nerve-wracking. I should have thought of this before just jumping in and thinking this would be easy. Everyone was looking at me, but just as I had asked, no one interrupted me. Looking at both Hunter and Caleb, I could tell that the struggle was real to keep their mouths shut.“I would like to start meeting here every day before training. At least until we can come up with a more effective way to start working on a plan. I a
Kyra-I wasn’t sure if he even saw me. His attention had seemed to be on the ground as he walked. Maybe if I slipped away I could go unnoticed. I grabbed my bag and stood on the porch. I kept my gaze on Caleb as I debated what to do. I mean what can I even say to him right now that hasn’t already been said?If I do run away, I would just be a coward. But it wasn’t me that was the coward. It was Hunter and Caleb for not pulling their heads out of their butts and working out their issues. No longer was I given the option to even slip away, as his gaze locked onto mine and his pace quickened as he made his way towards me. Would I still have time to run?I wasn’t sure if it was the quick way my eyes darted from his as I wondered if I had enough time, but he started running in my direction. My grip tightened around the strap of my bag and I tried to remind myself that I was doing the right thing here. I didn’t know what else to do. The d
Hunter-It was just past midnight when I got back to the house. For the past few hours, Rex has put me through hell. I didn’t think whatever his plan was going to work. He had successfully forced Ace to come forward but I think that just pissed Ace off even more. I didn’t even know what the plan was.“Alpha?” I heard Aiden speak from the door to my office.“Yeah?”“Found Brett and the Luna camping out on the southwest side. What do you want us to do?”I didn’t like that Kyra had left, but at this point, I didn’t blame her. At least she was with Brett and not alone. She made it perfectly clear that until Caleb and I worked out our problems she wasn’t going to return to the house. That was easier said than done. Especially what I had pulled earlier today.“Tighten patrol in her area and do not let anyone or thing pass the border. Kill on sight. Keep your distance and do no
Kyra-The next morning, I arrived at the training field before anyone else. I was feeling better this morning and my arm didn’t hurt at all. I thought maybe that I could convince Rex to train with me again, but decided against it. As much as I hated to admit it, Caleb was right. I couldn’t afford to push myself until my arm was better.When I looked this morning, it was looking a lot better. And I could see that a scar was starting to form around the wound. I had never had a scab before and it itched like crazy. I put some of the salve doctor John gave me and it helped ease the itchy feeling. Brett was still at the campsite since he didn’t wake until just before I left.I had heated up some leftover deer meat over the fire this morning. No doubt he had found it and was probably stuffing his face with it. I was sitting in the middle of the field picking at the grass when Hunter arrived. He was alone and I had to keep myself from running into his
Caleb-Listening to Kyra talk, I could see that she had been nervous at first. As the minutes passed, her voice became more firm. There was a presence about her that could command a room with a single look. The thing was, she didn’t even realize the effect she had on people. It just made her more alluring.Glancing over at Hunter, who was also not allowed to stand up there with her. He was smiling at her. Probably thinking the same thing as me. There was no doubt in my mind that he loved her, even a fool could see it. I just couldn’t actually get over my hatred for him. Don’t get me wrong, I will put up a good front for Kyra’s sake, but other than that. I was done with him.Maybe there was more to it than just what he did. I was beginning to think it was just because he was with her and I wasn’t. I didn’t even know anymore. Ever since learning that Kyra was my second chance mate, it was like there has been a wall coming betwee
Kyra-Looking over the field, I don’t know how I hadn’t noticed it sooner. It was a lot bigger of an area than I had first assumed. It looked like it was at least five acres. There were tree stumps still protruding from the land, but overall, it did give us a large enough space.Looking behind me, I saw that the tree line was dense. It would give us enough coverage to keep ourselves hidden. Would it be enough to give us the element of surprise though?“How long would it take to have the field leveled?” I asked no one in particular.“We could have it dug up in maybe a day or two and then leveled.” Nick was the one to answer.“Could we transplant a tree closer toward the middle?” I asked as an idea struck me.“That shouldn’t be a problem. Why?” Nick asked.“I was thinking that if I could keep myself hidden in the tree, I could get in behind them.” I admitted,
