THE CHOSEN WHITE WOLF

24. Warriors, Training & Elite Team

It's been a month since our first and last kiss.

We haven't spoken about it ever since. I have been avoiding him successfully much to his dismay.

He tried talking to me, but I didn't give him a chance. I make sure to have someone around me whenever he tried talking to me.

Chase even suspects that something is amiss between us but he never asked anything.

This game of chasing seems to anger the Alpha but I couldn't care less about it as we had more important things to focus on.

The rogue attacks were increasing day by day. More packs seems to be in distress and have been calling us to handle it.

Our group of warriors have been in and out of the packs who needed our help.

Since it's been only random attacks and in smaller size, the group which contains our second best warriors were dispatched.

The first and the top ranked warriors which included the Alpha, Beta, Me, the head warriors, beta Female were all training for the big fights.

There were warriors from other packs in small numbers who came here to get trained as our pack is the strongest and the biggest in the region.

We were training hard and our routines were brutal. Few warriors from other packs returned back to their homes as they couldn't handle it. But this is what we do and that's why we are the strongest.

Those who stayed back really do train hard and do their best to excel and sometimes gets their asses kicked by the trainers.

I could hear some of them complain and grunt in response because of the schedule. I mean we start early in the morning and train for 5 hours straight with 10 minutes intervals after 2 routines.

Along with the training, the warriors were put to test every 10 days and they were graded. Their agility, strength, presence of mind, sense of smell and the instincts etc.

As they scored the points, they moved up in the ranks. Since there were warriors from 5 packs, I decided to spice it up and made it a  competition.

It was decided that the top 3 warriors emerging as the finalists will end up being a part of Elite Team.

Yes, we have an Elite team. It has the Alphas, betas, beta females, gammas of the three strongest packs, and the top 5 warriors of these three packs.

Ever since word got out that our training regimen is the best there is, it was decided in the Annual Alpha's Meet that all the wolves turning 18 years old, will be sent to our pack and be trained here for 2 years after which if they have performed better and if they wish, they can join the Elite team or can go back to their homes.

Fortunately, we have around 250 members in the Elite team of different grades and different sets of skills they excel in.

As the weeks went by, the training sessions only grew more intense. The group of warriors who had been dispatched to handle the smaller rogue attacks returned with news that they had successfully taken care of the issue.

However, it seemed that the rogue attacks were increasing in frequency and ferocity. Our pack had to be prepared for the worst-case scenario.

The Alpha, Beta, and I had been working on developing new strategies and tactics to counter these rogue attacks. We spent countless hours pouring over maps, analyzing previous attacks, and coming up with new plans.

During one of our strategy meetings, the Alpha brought up the issue of my avoidance of him since our kiss.

"Are you going to keep avoiding me forever?" he asked, his tone laced with frustration.

I took a deep breath and finally decided to address the elephant in the room. "I don't think we should complicate things between us. We have bigger things to focus on."

He sighed. "I understand that, but we can't just ignore what happened between us."

"We can't afford to have any distractions right now," I said firmly. "We need to stay focused on the task at hand."

The Alpha nodded, his expression serious. "You're right. We need to prioritize the safety of our pack."

With that settled, we went back to discussing our strategies.

The training sessions continued, and the competition to be a part of the Elite team only grew more fierce. The warriors were pushing themselves harder than ever, and the energy in the training grounds was palpable.

As the deadline for the final competition drew near, tensions ran high. The top warriors were neck and neck, and it was anyone's game.

Finally, the day of the competition arrived. The warriors were lined up, and the competition began.

It was intense. The warriors gave it their all, pushing themselves to the limit. The air was thick with the scent of sweat and determination.

After hours of grueling tests, the top three warriors emerged. They were all from different packs, but they had proven themselves to be the best of the best.

As the Alpha congratulated the winners, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Our training regimen had produced some truly exceptional warriors.

But there was no time to rest on our laurels. The rogue attacks were only growing more frequent and more dangerous. We needed to be prepared for anything.

The Elite team along and I continued to work on our strategies, and the warriors continued to train. We were ready for whatever the rogue wolves had in store for us.
