Volatile

Prologue

Willow

I walked outside into the training grounds. I looked around and saw my three best friends. Kate who has long brown hair with hazel eyes and the twins, Colten and Holten who both have brown hair but Colten has blue eyes and Holten has green. I smile and walk over to them stretching.

"Are you guys ready?" I asked while taking my running position.

"Yeah but I don't know why we even still do this. We know we'll never beat you." Colten said while standing next to his brother. I smirk and look up at them.

"It's okay boys, maybe one day when I'm old you'll beat me." I wink and they roll their eyes. Kate smiles and walks in front holding a bandana. She does a countdown.

"3"

"2"

"1"

"GO!" She shouts as she throws the bandana down. I take off running and hear the boys behind me. I smile and weave my way through some trees and loop my way, around turning back towards the training grounds. I make it back without even breaking a sweat or out of breath. I smile as the boys make it back a minute later. I laugh as they drop to the ground to catch their breath.

"I don't see how you can run like that and not be tired." Holten says while sitting up, still trying to catch his breath.

"I've been training since I was 3. I am the highest ranking fighter aren't I? It only makes sense that I have a lot of endurance and strength." I shrug and sit next to them. I lay down and they both lay on my sides. I wrap my arms around them. Kate sits next to us and smiles. The boys are like the brothers I never had but always wanted. Kate is my sister from another mister.

I look down and see the twins asleep. Wow, a 5 minute run and they're knocked out. I chuckle and sit up, slipping from underneath them. I pick up Colten and struggle to carry him into the living room. I lay him on one couch. I walk back out and pick up Holten, carrying him to another couch. I smile and wipe some sweat off. I may be strong but those are some big boys. I walk into the kitchen and grab a bowl and poor some cereal. Seeing as it's almost 7am. I'll need some energy for training in an hour.

I finish my cereal and clean my bowl. I walk back upstairs into my room and change into train worthy clothes. A sports bra and spanks. I put my hair in a high ponytail. By the time I finish, it's almost time for training. I walk back down the stairs and to the training grounds. I see people gathering around. Some look tired while others look wide awake and ready. I smile and stand at the front. I whistle loudly and everyone gets quiet and looks at me.

"Okay everyone, we'll start with a 5 mile run. I'll lead. Now come on." I take off running and hear groans but also foot steps behind me. I smile and run faster. I hear someone right behind me so I slow down. I look over and it's another one of my closest friends, Alister. He has short blonde and vibrant green eyes. We've actually been training since we were both 3. He's second highest ranking in the pack. I smile and stick my tongue out at him. He fakes hurt and runs faster trying to pass me. I laugh out loud and run faster than him, surely passing him. I keep running faster and sure enough I make it back at the training grounds without breaking a sweat. I smile when Alister shows up like 45 seconds later. As we're waiting for the rest of the pack to show up, he walks over to me and picks me up. I squeal and laugh smacking his back. He laughs and sets me down.

"Where ya been Al? I've been missing ya." I say patting his back. We both sit on the ground waiting for the rest to show up. A few have already but not everyone.

"My mom finally went into labor last week. She gave birth to my little baby sister. Here I have a picture." He pulls out his phone and shows me a picture of a beautiful baby girl with sparkling green eyes. Just like her big bro. I smile and squeal.

"She's so adorable omg! You're truly lucky." I smile and pinch his cheek.

Once everyone is back I stand up and walk back to the front. Everyone looks at me.

"Now we'll be doing hand to hand combat. Same partners as last time. This time, I don't want you to hold back." I smile at everyone. Everyone starts fighting and me and Alister walk around looking at everyone's progress. These two girls were fighter and one girl took the other down and started beating the shit out of her while she was coughing up blood. I ran over and threw the girl on top off.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?! What have we said ever since training started? Once your opponent is down, it's over. Go sit out. Alpha will deal with you later. Alister take her to the infirmary." I say looking sternly at the girl who could've killed the other. I sigh frustrated and not up for any more training. I whistle loudly again and everyone looks to me.

"Training is over for today. Go home and get some rest. We'll do more tomorrow." Some shrug and some cheer. They all walk away and the girl tries to walk away but I grab her arm tightly.

"You will have extra hard training tomorrow. Now you're going to the Alpha." I pull her behind me and into the pack house. I walk over to the Alpha's office and knock on the door. I hear a quiet 'come in' and open the door. I walk in and place the girl in a seat in front of the Alpha. He looks up and looks confused.

"This girl here, did not stop when her opponent was down and coughing up blood." I stared with my arms crossed. Alpha Christoff shook his head and wiped his hand down his face.

"Why? Why did you not stop?" He asked looking at the girl. She crossed her arms and leaned back into the seat.

"Because she is weak. She is a weak she-wolf. She doesn't even deserve to be in this pack." She scoffs. Alpha Christoff growls and she flinches.

"You do not say that about anybody. You don't say that about a fellow pack member. Your punishment is to clean the whole pack house for 2 months and get the hardest training. You are dismissed. Now leave." He said angrily. She hurriedly got up with a quiet 'yes Alpha' and was out the door. I sighed and sat in front of him.

"It's so damn hard training everyone." I say groaning and leaning back in the chair. He chuckles and shakes his head.

"I know, but there's a reason I chose you. Nobody else is as strong as you. This pack needs you." He says starting to do more work. I sigh and stand up.

"I know I know. I'm tired so I'm gonna take a nap. Goodbye Christoff." I say walking towards the door.

"Bye Willow." I walk out the door and upstairs to my room. I go into the bathroom and take a nice hot shower to relax my muscles. I get out and walk into my room with a towel on. I look at the clock and see it's 8pm. Where did the time go? Seriously. We weren't even training for that long. I shrugged and put on some shorts and a tank top. I sigh and belly flop onto my bed. I curl under the covers and close my eyes. I start to drift off to sleep and let the darkness consume me.
