I never knew

Chapter 21

With everything going on, creed was not ready for anything more nuisance. Training was coming first thing, and before the sun was even up, half the house was up and ready for the day, ready to start havoc over who was going to get picked for the training sessions. It was already on Garon, Krux and justin, But creed had to be apart as well. She was off to a bad start already for the morning, bed rolling, hair a mess, her sleep was completely ruined half way through the night with the constant howling from the medic house from her brother, she ached unable to go re-visit him. Upset and angry kept her up and down all night. " Morning sunshine!" That was a cheery voice she knew she couldnt avoid." Morning Justin.." She called through her door as she slowly got dressed, it was going to hurt today. She was stiff, sore and over all just not really awake and ready to get beat around for a few hours with her brothers 3 friends, but it had to be done. Something needed done to help aid the pack incase Drake came back tenfold with others for her, or their pack. Mate...the word almost seemed like acid at this point to her, She couldnt believe that Drake had put her in this position, let alone her pack. The thought already crossed her mind to go without notice to see what exactly her..mother and father wanted her dead for. Since no one gave her details. These thoughts were ongoing as she got ready, Justin eager and ready on the other side of the door, leaning his large frame into the door, making it creak" Cmmoooonnnn Creed the other 2 misfits are already at the training grounds waiting. " Ugh, he was nice but damn it he was pushy ! " Im coming one second damn, cant a girl wake up..what time is it even" She didnt even want to know, and without a second thought she looked over at her alarm clock on her night stand. 5:30. WHAT?! they had better put her in a coma next to her brother because she was never up before 8 am. Someone was going to pay." Lets go.." She huffed, after getting her clothes on, hair up and shoes on , her bedroom swung up, nearly hitting Justin purposely. She knew he was standing close enough, she could smell him through the door."Lead the way.." her voice was quiet, but understood almost too quickly as Justin latched his arm around her shoulder, dragging her along with his quick steps. She wasn't keen on being touched, not right now, but she was too tired to arguem instead she simply leaned into her brothers friend, allowing him to guide her. She had been here for a few weeks and had yet to get an official tour of the pack grounds. It wasnt much of a trek, but it was long enough That she started to whine , throwing small huffs here and there that made Justin only snort." dont worry itll be over before yah know it. Adrians pretty good at making the time fly. Short notice though..Youre partnered with Krux." Before she had time to react, he was already gone from around her shoulder, running to the training grounds, smiling away as it set in." Wait..what?! Youre kidding me!" Creed spared no expense to chasing the lunatic of a friend her brother claimed. There was a small crowd standing around when she finally caught up to him, her hand coming across the back of his head as she made her stop, using both heels, nearly running into the small Troup of 3. Krux was standing there as usual, arms crossed, a scowl on his face, and a cigarette in his mouth? That was new, she never saw him smoke before. Garon had his hair tugged back into a small pony tail , track shorts and a muscle shirt, stretching out his legs, and justin was just, there. Oblivious to the whole charade even though Creed was staring him down. She was paired with Krux and she was sure he had something to do with it." Dick.." She mumbled, There was a small smile on Krux lips, it angled just around the cigarette butt , and Justin just smiled from the remark." Alright Ladies and Gentlemen, as you all know we are gathered this morning for a picking of a good handful of you for training. We've been lacking, and it has come down to our Alpha enduring an attack that has left this pack defenseless without direction or order, so today only about 30 of you will be picked for training, based on physique, abilities, control, strength and Temper. This is going to test your mental ability and emotional involvement. We are a pack, so pack comes first. Emotions can get in the way and cause you to become hurt or endanger someone else, Second guesses are going to be your downfall. If this is not something you think you can handle, Then Leave now and go back to your daily duties. Those not able to join, of course are pack mothers and children and anyone under 16. The rest, you will know if you have been picked. We will run a few short warm ups and test rounds of combat, I will walk around, check your stance, see if you are able bodied to be picked, and come this after noon you will receive a letter from me posted to your Bedroom doors. Lets begin" Adrian spoke clearly, and loud enough for us in the back to hear, the crowd was big enough im surprised he projected far enough, There was alteast 100 pack members here already, not including those that didnt come. As Adrian stated mothers and anyone under 16 couldn't join, They all left, leaving still a good handful of us. " I guess we better get started.." Krux wasnt all too enthused either about being there, but Creed could see the hidden joy in his cloudy eyes as he tilted his head to glance at her. Justin and garon were Pared, figures. Why couldnt she have paired with Garon, atleast Krux and justin could beat each other up, and still walk away good friends." Alright..." All 4 of us hung our heads and moved off the a space open near the farthest end of the battle grounds. Adrian had been at work early, there was combat matts, hitting posts, sparring jousts laid out in areas for everyone to take their pick. Of course Garon and justin went to the matts, and that was where Krux followed, Great. " Ill try to take it easy on you, but I dont know if ill be able to really control my wolf Creed..Im sorry you got paired with me, i know it was the last thing you wanted, but Adrian felt you needed the most training and I have the top of Class Training..he figured you could learn well from me.." HIs voice echoed in my head like glass hitting the floor and shattering. I wanted nothing to do with either of them at the moment, Drake or Krux, One was a mate and one..well...Was my brothers delusional friend.." Its whatever lets get this over with.." Both my hands went up, both feet spread into a square. I was use to wrestling Kuja, but Krux was different, he was an aggressor and he took almost the same stance, both those eyes of his took a second to stare me over, and I could hear his breath grow heavy. " Just remember, No funny shit or ill Cut your balls and neuter you and Your wolf.." Her voice was pretty cut throat , filled with acid as she remembered their conversation. Garon and justin were already at it, tossing each other by the legs and arms onto the mats. They were bound to hurt one another purposely for the hell of it." That's fucked up.." And with his remark, Krux came running head on right at her, Both her arms shot up, knees bent, and she dropped to a guarded stance as Krux got within arms reach causing him to topple over her and landing on his back." Jesus..obvious much.." She stood once more, dusting off her knee and turning around to stare down at the now dazed Krux." top of class huh.." She mused a bit , now moving where he had begun, taking her stance once more." Look..I know youre his sister and my..unclaimed mate but that doesnt mean i wont be fair, this is training. You got lucky.." he slowly got up, catching the eye of a Garon and justin who were standing not to far from them. Justin let out a snort" She best you already?" Krux gave him the middle finger, making Creed laugh herself. This might actually be fun.

Time passed over and over as Justin and garon tossed and landed each other on the matt, Krux had gotten Creed a few times on the mat, but Creed was an evasive marker. She landed him on the mat a few times too, and the final blow was when Krux got her around her hips and nearly body slammed her to the mat, knocking the wind out of her. Krux had her pinned, his grey pooled eyes boring down into hers, a small smile resting his lips." Your wolf is crying..Are you hurt?" His concern almost knocked creed sideways." No..Im not hurt..im irritated and your ontop of me..shes trying to be free for your damn wolf.." His heart picked up." She hears Leo..He wants her..Creed.." They stayed pinned for a long minute, Creed seemed to be in a hard torment before she looked away from Him, Garon and justin now almost caught staring at them." What the fuck are you two looking at.." She spat with venom, But it was cut short with a soft kiss to her cheek, Krux grazed his lips with a soft peck, letting out a soft purr. It wasnt Krux, when her attention moved back to him to let out one good ripped cuss fest, she was silenced by the bright blue hues that now swirled in his eyes. It was his Wolf , on the bare surface." " Creed.." her name being uttered in that hushed husky voice of his wolf made her snap, she bent her knee, and sent him flying overhead to his back." Wolf or not...You dont g..get to kiss me! You fucked up remember! My wolf hears you loud and clear, but I am denying her right! Don't make me reject you Krux!" Training was over. Creed got up and dusted herself off." Creed dont do that.." Justin piped in quietly." That is suicide for a wolf, you reject a wolf, and its ...horrific what they do to themselves.." She could hear the pain and hurt in his voice, but her eyes never left Krux who was now sitting up right, those bright blue eyes still staring at her, wide, hurt." This was suppose to be training , not a mate set up..You all three fucked up! You think I can't hear your thoughts..im apart of the pack too!" Creed went to leave, rubbing her face. but she was met with a soft thud, arms entangled around her waist and a head burried deep into the back of her neck. The instant touch made her howl, and it wasnt her. It was her wolf. Her wolf awoke, howling to Leo, Krux inner being. Fuck. She recognized his wolf. He merely just held her, while onlookers on the training grounds stared off and on, whispering quietly to each other." Krux..You need to give me time.." was all she said before she broke free from his arms, passing a finger to the two bafoons, and making her way back to the pack house, dusting off each leg and getting ready to clean up the scrapes and nicks she earned from sparing with the man she detested so much right now. That evening came too quickly as letters were posted by Adrian all over the pack house, as he said he would. The defense was picked, and soon more training would take place, meaning she had to deal with him all over again. In the time being, she would avoid the three at all cost, and finished cleaning herself up, deciding to make her way to the medic house to spend the evening with her brother.
