Chapter 6: The parents

*Seth's POV*

After both me and Drake took a shower we headed to the observation bleachers a bit above the training area. We have those there so people can watch when we on occasions have competitions here. We mostly have them at the other pack house but when it's between higher ranked wolves we have them here. They are almost unnoticeable from the training area unless you know it's there though. So Drake and I take our seats at the very front row and watch as our mates are about to start training in their usual training clothes they use at school as well.

"Why can't we do weaponry right away?" My mate asks upset.

"We have to warm up first. I don't want you to get hurt even though that's not very likely. But still, everyone has to prepare before moving on to the main practice." Drake's mate Zoe says lecturing her.

"Fine, but let's make it quick. I want to try out as many of these beauties as possible before dinner." Becca says.

"Let's go then." Zoe says before she starts running on one of the treadmills.

Drake and I watch in fascination as they first run on the treadmills for ten minutes before moving on to the exercise bikes, doing push-ups and sit-ups for the same amount of time each. Then they stretch for another ten minutes doing things that would normally be extremely painful before pulling out one of the exercise mats and place it on the floor in the middle of the open area. There they start training hand to hand combat while pointing out flaws at each other as well as compliments. I get sweaty just watching this.

When Zoe throws Becca over her shoulder making her land on her back, which makes Drake look very proud by the way, Becca counters with swinging her legs tripping Zoe before doing a kick up taking up fighting stance while waiting for Zoe to rise to her feet. Shit, they are fighting hardcore here! I think they would actually even beat some of our best pack warriors. Maybe I'll ask them to train some of our troops once they settle with everything.

"What do you think? Maybe we should ask them to train some of our warriors in close combat once they settle?" I ask Drake for confirmation on my thoughts.

"Yeah, they look like they might even be able to beat Garth." He says not taking his eyes off Zoe.

I nod agreeing while watching Becca and Zoe still fighting each other. Looks like I wont be needing to worry about my mate not being able to protect herself.

"Our mate! Not to mention she has the stamina to keep going for a long time, not just running if you get me." Hunter says smirking.

"You horny dog!" I reply chuckling.

"Oh please, you are totally thinking the same. We practically share one mind, remember?" He counters.

"Fine, you got me!" I answer before shutting him out.

I see my mate and her friends moving on. I lean forward on my elbows to see what they are going to do next. They walk over to the wall filled with weapons and stand there discussing for a while before deciding. My mate takes down a pair of sais as Zoe takes down a short handled naginata. Interesting choices. They then walk back to the exercise mat and gets ready for fight. They start off easy but it soon becomes intense and both me and Drake are sitting at the edge of our seats ready to rush to our mates rescue. Mostly they block each other but sometimes they manage a small cut on the other which only causes me and Drake to tense up even more. We sit like that about an hour before we relax slightly realizing our mates can handle them selves.

After finishing of with their fighting we breath out a sigh of relief thinking they are finally finished but wrong. They put back the sais and naginata and instead takes one katana each before they once again return to the mat. They start fighting samurai style instead and me and Drake only sits there a bit worried they will get hurt. But I forget that when I realize that my mate is sweating very much now and so is Zoe. My mate's sweat roll down her forehead and also down her stomach making me long for skin contact with her. I once again have to start thinking weird things which is starting to get annoying. My wolf really wants to just take her to our room right this instant and complete the entire mating process but I don't want to make her hate us even more because I bet she already does. We did kidnap her after all. Just the thought of her hating us makes Hunter whimper sadly in the back of my mind.
