The Curse

Chapter 2

"One more time Valentina!" Ralph our Beta yelled, I was taking some extra practices on defence with him for it had been a while since I payed that much attention to it, and I now that I had more time in my hands I found myself in need of some de-stress activity, and in contrary to what many girls would normally do, meaning shopping, I found that kicking stuff helped a little more. But Ralph thought that we should start with some conditioning, which I gotta say it sucks big time, running suicides was not what I had wanted, and ralph wanted me to make them in less than 10 minutes each set, and I have already done 7 sets

"Really Ralph? Aren't 7 sets enough?" I complained getting up from the floor

"This one was better but still 11 minutes, you have to do this in less that 10, go on, I'll time you" He motioned towards the big fat white line painted on the grass.

"Will this be the last time?" I asked getting in position

"Will you make this in less that 10 minutes?" He raised an eyebrow and then shrugged "I know you can run faster, just find the motivation"

"Motivation my ass" I grumbled, but I decided to imagine I was chasing a certain wolf to kick his ass and as Ralph blew the whistle I ran as fast as I could.

"Nine minutes fifty nine seconds" He said as I ran past him and threw myself to the floor, I know that werewolves are supposed to have a lot of speed and stamina and whatnot but I hate running in human form "See? I knew you'd be able to make it" he said smiling and giving me a high-five to which I responded barely lifting my hand to meet his.

"I guess I found my motivation" I grumbled

"Yes, that you did" he was nodding and writing something on his board "So, here is your practice schedule for the rest of the week and the next one, please do everything I am writing here, I won't be day by day with you but I'll know when you didn't follow instructions"

"Ay ay captain" I said sitting up and grabbing the paper, he also passed me a bottle of water and motioned me to follow

"So, for today that's all, please stretch and take a cold shower and then just rest got it?" he looked at me sternly as we were arriving to the house

"Got it, lazying around after stretching and cold shower" He smiled and we both walked into the house, but I was so tired I didn't even acknowledged the different smells around the house.

"Ew, it smells like dirty dog" I turned around to see a pair of twins sitting on the chairs of the living room, the one that had made the comment was sitting with a perfect posture wearing a pair of beige slacks with a light pink sweater paired with a pearl necklace and her blonde hair was perfectly done in a low bun whilst the other one was wearing black leggings and an oversized grey sweater and light loose brown hair rolled her eyes and smiled at me

"Shut up Sandra" she then turned to me "forgive my stupid sister, you must be Valentina!" she stood up and came closer to me

"Um hi?" I answered feeling a little self conscious being all sweaty and dirty "I'm sorry who are you?"

"Hey Val, I see you've met Sandra and Elise" my mom said as she came into the room with another woman "And this is Sophia, she is the wife of the Beta of the Black Moon Pack"

"Oh hi, nice to meet you all" I smiled "I'm sorry I was not notified that you were coming or I would've been a little more presentable"

"Not to worry, it's nice to know that we are allowed to take part in physical activity here" The one named Elise said excitedly

"If you are planning on smelling like that the whole time you repulse me Elise" Sandra said with her nose all scrunched up

"Sandra be decent! You will be living with them for some months" Their mom scorned Sandra, wait a couple of months?!?! I turned to my mother who was busy smiling to Sophia "And you Elise you better try being a responsible adult now that's what you'll be doing these months, I do not want to hear that all you did was roll around the mud all day"
