Chapter XII

Kol holds his hands up with the cussions protecting them. I throw a punch, hitting it as hard as I can. Kaden watches from the side line, watching everything. Lana or whatever her name is, is also working out. I don't trust her but I do anything about it, we found it she was Nathan's mate. She was now mated into this, I grunt punching the hand as hard as I can, causing for to erupt out of them and send Kol across the room. I gape, outing my hands over my mouth.

"Kol, oh my god I'm so sorry. I didn't know I could do that." I say sorrowfully, helping Kol up. He shakes his head at me giving a chuckle.

"Good thing we are mates or that would've burned me."he chuckles and outs his hand up that had water surrounding where I got him.

"You are my mate." I say stunned. Kaden yelled in happiness and I stared at him weirdly. He is such a weirdo.

"Yeah I am so can you finally take up my offer?" He smirks and I nod, smiling widely. I notice Lana or whatever her name is, staring at us in envy. Kol picks me up, twirling me around giving me a kiss. Kaden fakes throwing up and I break the kiss to give him a glare. He gives me an innocent smile as Kol puts his arm around my waist. Kol smirks, dropping his arm running at Kaden. Kaden reacted quickly, dropping to the floor but Kol knew he was going to do that as he jumps over him. I roll my eyes and look over at Lana who was busy beating up the dummy. I sigh, walking over to her quietly. She didn't seem to hear me as I put my hand on her shoulder lightly. She went to attack but stops once she saw it was me.

"Sorry." Lana gave me a sad smile and I smile at her. I nod over to the boys that were still fighting.

"We are probably gonna get out of here and go to the forest to stretch our legs if you would like to come with." I say and she looks behind me to the boys, giving a nod.

"Yea that'd be good. Thank you, I haven't changed into my wolf in a while." She mutters and I nod, giving her a light smile before I turn back to the boys. They are still fighting but both were losing their stamina. I give Lana a smirk, making her giggle. I run at the boys, falling to slide under their arms that were interlocked. They look at me in confusion before they suddenly realize something. I grab their arms before they could break apart and flip over them, holding onto them tightly. They groan as they flip also, landing onto their backs. I land on my feet and pretend to wipe my hands.

"We will be outside when you guys decide to follow." I wink at Kol and walk away. I hear them hurrying to get up, running after us.

"Are they always like this?" Lana asks with a bright smile. I chuckle and nod as Kol's arm wraps around my waist.

"Like what? You trying to say something?" Kol and Kaden ask in unison and I roll my eyes at them.

"Yeah that you two are dumb." I say jumping in the air, changing into my wolf. Lana seems to stop and stare. Kol rolls his eyes and changes beside me, showing his black wolf. Kaden was next, showing his grey almost white wolf. Guess it went through the family. Lana was last, changing into a beautiful brown wolf. I give them a wolfy smirk, bolting away from them. They were close behind, soon they were next to me. We go towards the forest, I bump into Kol's side making him lose his balance and fall behind. Lana does the same to Kaden and soon it was just us two.

"Hey that was mean." Kol says through the mind link between all of us.

"I know that's why I did it." I chuckle and slow to a stop. Lana stops next to me and suddenly the boys were in front of us. Standing in front of them was Orion, he just wouldn't stop would he?

"Well I see you aren't pregnant yet, maybe we should change that." He laughs loudly staring at me and we all growl loudly at him, specifically Kol. Orion looks at Kol's wolf and smirks.

"Oh, the little wolf found her mate, so sad that once this war is over, he'll be dead and I will be king." Orion says and I growl at him, changing into my normal self. I didn't care that I was naked in front of him but Kol's wolf's tall figure stood in the way of Orion's sight. I stare at his backup before looking at him again. Kaden seems to be slowly moving towards Orion but Lana keeps biting his leg lightly.

"Get off my lands Orion." I growl loudly and he laughs. I glare at him fiercely before he finally stops.

"Fine, but we will be back and we won't be as nice." He stalks into the darkness of the forest and his henchmen follow close behind. I turn back into my wolf and look at them.

"We need to tell father." I tell Kaden and he nods. We bolt off, Kol and Lana beside us. It wasn't long before we reached the castle again. I can see my father standing outside of the palace which meant Kaden mind linked him. I couldn't because I was still mad at him but slowly forgiving him. Father looks over at us scared but it was soon relief, seeing us all and not one of us were hurt.
