The Secrets of The Reverence Pack

Chapter 28: Training

"Stay focused," Shiro told Geo. They had all decided to do some training today so that they could stay in shape.

"Are you sure you're okay to train, Shiro?" Geo asked. His face showed a hint of worry. "You did just get shot by a silver bullet last week."

"I was going to say that myself," Hiroko spoke up in their mind link.

"It is healed," Shiro assured them. "Every warrior needs to train regularly if they want to maintain their strength. Even an Alpha."

They spoke through their mind link, but they were not in their wolf forms, or in any potential danger. This was how they talked when they were training. That was how they maintained stealth. Through being able to talk through the mind, they are able to know where their enemies are and kill them silently. They might have been the smallest wolves out of the ones in BlackCreek, but they knew how to use their weaknesses to their advantage.

They were also using the mind link because of a location change. Shiro had decided to bring them to the community center in the city rather than their normal training grounds. A change of scenery helped keep warriors sharp.

"I could always try and piss him off," Miki said. The only member of his council that wasn't there at the moment was Jin. He was busy helping his father with yet another project. Shiro would have to train with him to see if he was still sharp at another time.

"I can stay focused," Geo rolled his eyes. "I was just wondering about the wound."

"The wound is healed," Shiro told him. "Let's get started."

Shiro liked to train with his friends. It was easy to see all the stress leaving Geo and Miki's bodies when they trained. Both of them released all of their anger and frustration as they focused their mind and body on the tasks at hand. And whenever Hiroko came back from a trip, she would always teach him some of the things that she had learned from the pack that she went to. That way they could all learn the many ways in which these wolves fought.

However, right now he was focused on Geo. He had many reasons to be angry and frustrated. If he didn't find an outlet for it, then it would eat him up inside. Shiro still couldn't believe that he was mated to Jett's Beta. The Spirit of the Moon must have really had it out for them if she made two matches like that so close to one another. Shiro worried that this would mean the end to his pack. Did it mean that she wished to merge the Reverence Pack with Valor? As much as he appraised the Valor Pack for all of their accomplishments, he didn't wish to be apart of them. The Reverence Pack was his.

It didn't seem like Jett had wanted that either. He merely seemed to want to try and find a middle ground for them. But what of Geo and Alex? What would be their middle ground? Would they want to be apart from each other when they finally marked?

He let all of these thoughts flow freely as he trained with his Beta. There were many ways in which you could meditate. Any action that helped you find your center was meditating on its own. Shiro would meditate many times a day because of this. As long as he found his center while he was working, he felt as if he could do anything.

Each of them were taught to be aware of their surroundings whilst fighting. Just in case another enemy tried to surprise them while they were already in battle. Being aware of what was going on around you was key to any success in battle.

Except when it was the scent of Geo's mate wafting into the room.

"Stay focused," Shiro told him. He had to get past this. If there was going to be any chance of still using his second in battle, he needed to get him to not focus so much on his mate's scent. Those eyes dilated and his nostrils flared, but they stared focus on the training routine. He was one of the best warriors that their pack had. Shiro and him had trained together since they were young. They had a connection through their training that was difficult for warriors to get. Neither had to say much for them to know just what the other wanted.
