That exact moment was the fastest I had ever moved in my human form. I needed to get out of there and I needed to get out of there as fast as I could; which is exactly what I did.

If I hated anything, it would be looking weak in front of people. Don't get me wrong, crying is alright if you need to, but I hate when I cry in front of people. I feel so much more vulnerable that I would have before that.

I was the pack Luna of one of the toughest, biggest packs. I could not be seen crying. Heading up towards my room, I went fast. I needed to get my mind off of this. If I sat in my room, I would overthink. When I overthink, I make mistakes because I think of all of my bad things, all of my mistakes, all of my insecurities. At my old home, with my family, I would train. Fight, practice my skills.

I can't exactly train here, or can I? If I found the pack trainer, or the beta at the least. Wiping my obviously pink, swollen eyes, and sucking in the heart ache I changed into a pair of black and white trainers, a pair of black spandex shorts, and a short sleeve athletic top. Bending my body over, I took an elastic from my wrist and tied it around my hair several times, before looking in the mirror.

If you weren't one to analyze, you might not be able to tell I was crying mere moments ago so I had hoped that most of the people here wouldn't notice.

Heading down the stairs, I looked around to see if I could find Cole, or the pack trainer who's name I think is Garrett. Hmm, Garrett, Gunther, Gerbil- Gerbil? I'll go with Garrett for now. Looking around the halls, I nearly smacked myself for being so stupid. The pack trainer would most likely be on the pack grounds. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Navigating my way towards the back door, I looked around to make sure that the Alpha wasn't near, before I slipped out the back door. I had a brief idea as to where the pack grounds were, so I followed where my intuition had led me, and luckily, I was only a few minutes off. It took me a total of five minutes, running, to get to the training area, and I saw at least a hundred wolves training at the moment.

I also saw a very buff male, who stood tall. My guess was that he was the trainer, and the trainer was usually the Gamma. Waltzing over to him, I tapped his shoulder, as I didn't want to call him by the wrong name. As soon as my fingers touched the surface of his shoulder, his head snapped towards me. "What would you like, Luna?" He asked in a gruff, manly voice.

"Are you the pack trainer?" I asked kindly, getting a brief nod from him. "Great, so I would like to start training, maybe with a few exercises first, and then practising in my human form, and then preferably, a chance in my wolf form." I said, a bright smile on my face.

Furrowing his brows, he asked me a question I was hoping would be forgotten. "Have you asked Alpha Kai about it?" He asked formally, and I hesitated before nodding my head. My hesitation was enough to tell him that I didn't, I suppose, and he shook his head. "Sorry Luna, but I am not going to let you start training unless I either get orders, or permission from our Alpha." He stated before diverting his attention from me, to a brawl between two wolves.

"But, I am the Luna. An equal with the Alpha and I say that you can let me." I stated, putting my hands on my hips. Shaking his head once more, I noticed that his eyes glazed over, a clear sign that he was mind-linking the Alpha. Within moments, a storming figure was easily heard due to the crunching of the twigs.

Up came the Alpha, looking as brooding and annoyed as usual. "Why are you outside, Erika. I did not say you could." He said, an icy tone underlying in his voice. Furrowing my brows, as I was trying not to let any of my saddened emotions out, I scoffed.

"I don't think I need permission to go outside, Alpha. And if I did, I still would not. That would be an extremely petty order." I said with a shrug. "Either way, I'm out here to start training." I stated, and his face reddened slightly. Obviously he didn't like my attitude but I was like 5'2, and bitchiness was practically my only defence.

"I don't care. You're not going to be training any time soon." He dead panned and I rolled my eyes. "I honestly don't listen to you anymore. If you were kind, I would take your opinion into consideration but as far as I'm concerned, you're not." I stated with a shrug of my shoulders. He let out an enraged growl before looking around. "Fine, you'll fight Agatha Martiniuk. She stands at 5'9, and she's the best female warrior we have." He said sinisterly, before pointing her out in the crowd.

Agatha was a beast, huge, with raven hair and tan skin. She wasn't ugly, but she wasn't a model either, she was just average I guess. "You want me to compete against her?" I asked, astounded. "Either her, or nobody. You lose, you don't train again." He said briefly before calling out her name. "Agatha Martiniuk, you will be competing against Erika Bloome." He boomed out, and she stepped from the crowd, looking as mean as ever. She was not the type of gal to back down in a fight.

Within seconds, she threw the first kick in which I dodged skillfully. Kicking out, she dodged mine as well. This happened a few times before I was able to get the first kick, hitting her in the groin.

I thought that this was a great hit, but Agatha didn't even look phased. With a hard punch, I stumbled backwards, holding my nose. She could definitely hit.

I mad three moves, a kick to the stomach, a punch to her nose and another kick to her knee. She fought back brilliantly though, three punches- two delivering to my face, and a knee to my abdomen. Stumbling back once again, I felt blood drip down my face. Bitch gave me a bloody nose.

Angry now, I did something I had only been able to successfully do once- I jumped high in the air, twisted, and kicked her hard in the face. This one made her stumble, and nearly fall as she held her face in obvious pain. Taking this to my advantage, I threw three punches, one in the centre of her ribs, on in her groin and one in the centre of her forehead- all successful hits.

Her looking quite enraged now she through a series of hits, those enough the take me down to the ground, although I wasn't ready to give up yet. She went to dive onto me but I rolled out from under where she was going to land, and stood up fast. Yes my nose was bleeding terribly, yes I had three bloody claw marks on my cheek and yes, I was bruising, but no, I did not give up. Taking her on the ground to an advantage, I leaped upon her and three hard punches later, she managed to roll on top of me, delivering only two hard hits.

I didn't know how long we were fighting for, but we were equal matches and we were both growing weak- and very bloody. Bloody enough for Garrett to finally budge it despite the Alphas rebuttal, and tell us that it was a tie. Despite it being a tie, and me now letting my guard down, she threw the hardest punch I had witnessed yet, sending me spiralling to the ground. Landing on my front, I hadn't managed to catch myself so I nose-dived into the dirt beneath me. I didn't want to look weak as I hated looking weak, but I couldn't help it when the black dots started forming, and I fainted for a minute or three, before gaining consciousness again. I felt myself being picked up, and in my hazy state, I squirmed. "I'm fine, let me dow-en. Let me d-owne." My speech was slurred which was quite awkward, but I managed to slip out of what I had realized was my mates arms.

"I am fine." I said quietly, lifting my shirt from my stomach to wipe the blood from my features.

"Fine my ass." He grumbled, before picking me back up again, and heading the the pack doctor to get me cleaned up.
