The Transfer | BOOK 1 ✅

6 - Getting Stronger

I can't wait for a certain part in this book to take place. I'm really excited to write it, like honestly.

_______________________________

The rest of the week I trained hard. I ran every day, either with Ezra, Alfie or Lila and Brayleigh. Each day, they pushed me harder and harder. I remember the morning after my run with Ezra that I collapsed to the ground. I had run with Alfie that morning. It was just him and I.

Alfie was ruthless. He made us take a new track, one that extended all the way around Takiani. He told me it was the trail that the tracker wolves run, as it went along the borders of the pack. It was a long run, the longest one I'd ever been on.

But I loved it.

Alfie pushed me and pushed me. He wouldn't let me slow down and only let me get faster and faster. He raced me, purposely getting me angry to try and bring out my beast's fire. He said it worked, but he said it didn't work enough.

After the run, I had to sit down. I was panting hard, my heart was beating so fast that I felt it in my throat. My arms and legs were tingling with energy.

I felt different. I felt great. Something I hadn't felt in a while.

But it wasn't enough. So straight after my run, Alfie had me spar with Kade yet again. It was a good one, apparently. Alfie said that he saw a real change in the way I fought, and Kade even told me afterwards that I had improved since the first time we'd sparred.

Although, Kade did beat me. It felt good to have him compliment me, coming from a wolf who could have just been cocky and rubbed it in my face that he won.

It was a new morning, and I ran with Kade. He came to my door and made a joke about getting my 'lazy ass out into the wild'. Which made my beast twitch. She didn't like being called lazy, but she knew it was Kade trying to get us angry. He was challenging us to make our blood hum that same way other Alphas did.

"You're pretty fast... you should focus on channeling that in the rings. You could zip around your opponents pretty easy," Kade told me as we walked towards the sparring rings together.

My beast swirled with pride. She was proud of me. She was proud of us. We liked getting good feedback from others, because it proved that we were doing at least one thing right.

"My mother was fast. She was like a blur," I said to Kade. He started to speak to me, but my ears picked up on another conversation and I stopped listening to Kade to listen to this new one.

"That's her... the transfer. She's an Alpha, but I think I could kick her ass. She looks weak," a girl voice said. I furrowed my eyebrows at the statement.

They were talking about me. There weren't any other Alphas that transferred from Terialta to Takiani.

"By the looks of it, she's sucking up to Kade so that Alfie will go easy on her," another girl scoffed. I heard my beast rumble angrily at their comments.

Who the hell did they think they were? Talking about me like that? Did they know I could hear them?

"Morning Kade, Alison. I hope you both had a good run this morning, but it's time to start training," Alfie greeted us as we approached him. Kade and I both nodded at him and I crossed my arms bitterly.

I was still angry about what those girls were saying. Did they know who I was? What I was capable of doing?

I had never lost my shit before, but I was sure that if they kept talking smack, they would see me lose it.

Alfie trained me hard that morning. He helped me work on my punches and my defence. He taught me about looking for weaknesses in my opponents and he told me all about using their strength against them if I wasn't strong enough to hold my ground.
