Brave Heart

Chapter 10. "Training and powers"

-Isabel's POV-

I felt like I needed an adventure after that literal shit show a week ago. So much had happened, finding out I was a white wolf certainly wasn't expected. I didn't even knew they existed. I spent all week in my father's library pulling out any books that had to do with the history of them and what happened to them all. I felt well educated on who I am but I was lacking the skill. I missed out on so much training. My father offered to train me himself and Christian said he can teach me maneuvers when in wolf form. I had to learn to fight as human and wolf; I guess danger was lurking around the corners whether expected or not. I will have to be on guard at all times. I laid outside on a tanning chair by the pool, I decided to bring a book on tactics out here with me. Christian was back at his pack catching up on his work and being sure his warriors were at their best; and he said he had to schedule a pack meeting to inform them about him finding his mate. He had set up a welcoming ceremony for today to introduce me to the pack and show me around. He has been so patient with me with the whole marking part of our relationship. It isn't that I don't want to... I guess you could say I am scared. Because once I am marked it starts all of those phases of the mate bond. Then he can hold the real deal ceremony where we stand up on stage in front of his entire pack; speaking our vows in protecting them and my new status as their Luna. All my new responsibilities. I was petrified... What if they don't like me? Or I end up being terrible at everything the Luna has to do... To make matters worse, since he has been gone the past two days, my wolf has been so antsy without our mate close by. Her thoughts were dirtier than dirt itself. Most of the time I had to scold her for such language.

You are just jealous you haven't thought about the ways to seduce our mate like I have.

Oh please no... not again. Ella please I need to focus on whooping ass, not about seducing Christian.

Oh how I would love to whoop that ass of hi- I cut her off and put up a wall in my mind to keep her quiet. Much better... I looked back at the page on methods to bringing the opponent to the ground. It showed images with step by step procedures. Currently viewing the photo if an enemy attacks from behind you and has you in a head lock. First you step on their foot hard; taking that moment to elbow them in the gut. Knocking wind out of them; you can swipe their leg bringing them to the floor. I really want to try this... I want to start training as soon as possible. I have gotten to do basic training that came to me easily. Laps around the fields, lots of endurance training with cardio and time in the boxing ring working on foot work and my punches. But I really wanted to actually fight someone. Christian would kill me if he found out I was training behind his back. So I figured I better not; He feared I would get hurt. It is funny really how he really acts so angry and stern when around people, but when he is with me. He is like a big teddy bear inside. We have yet to have any real arguments but hey knocking on wood it stays that way. I know it won't though since every couple fights.

"Isabel! There you are! Alpha wants to see you in the fields." Nathaniel, the Beta's son. The one who I had talked to in the gym that time. Turns out he is really nice and funny. He had become a good friend of mine during my stay here so far. We see each other a lot considering our parents are best friends and Alpha and Beta. I closed my book and left it on the chair for when I would come out here next.

"What does my dad need me for in the field? More running? I told him I don't need anymore practice with that one since I have been doing it all my life!" I threw my hands in the air annoyed but still got up and headed his way. He let out a chuckle and smirked as he looked at me.

"Oh no, he doesn't expect you to run... But he does want to see you fight someone. He believes you are ready and wants to test your wolf to see if she is capable of turning when she needs to." I almost didn't believe him. But when we got to the view of the field I saw all of the other warriors paired up and fighting. I jumped up and down excited to finally get my moment. I kept slapping Nathaniel's shoulder to be sure he was paying attention.
