The Alpha King

Chapter 42

It turns out Xavier is the best warrior and I mean it wasn't exactly surprising. I managed to stay awake the night before so that I could talk to him about my training and he was all for it.

I thought he would train me but he said he didn't have the time and I didn't blame him for it. Xavier said the next best fighter was Killian and I immediately protested, I fought him on saying I wanted Luca but Luca is hardly ever around. He constantly goes to other packs and meets with alphas from all over.

Xavier told me if I wanted the next best thing then I should just train with Killian. I thought about it for a while and managed to convince myself to just agree, I mean maybe he didn't have a problem with me. Perhaps I was just over analysing everything and it was just how he was but I couldn't quite shake the feeling that he really didn't like me, at all....

"This was such a mistake." I grumbled to myself as I walked into the forest and towards where Killian was supposed to meet me for our training.

I ducked under trees and stomped my way through the snow . The forest was really calming and beautiful, I just couldn't quite get enough of it.

The bitter cold kissed my bare cheeks as I made my way into a clearing of sorts. I looked around and noticed Killian wasn't present. He must be running late, I thought.

I was just about to warm up when I was tackled harshly to the ground. My cheek met the earth first and my body tumbled after. A huge weight was pinning me roughly onto the ground, grinding my cheek into the earth even more.

I didn't even have time to cry out, I was taken by such a surprise that all I could manage was a gasp.

Once my mind caught up with what actually happened I shrieked and tried to get out from beneath my attacker. I continued to move around underneath him and every time I moved my face throbbed even more as it was getting pushed further down.

My attacker didn't even budge and after a few more seconds of my struggling he snarled cruelly,

"He expects me to train you! Pathetic, you didn't even know I was about to tackle you!"

Killian, who else, I thought bitterly.

"Arghhhh!" I screamed in utter rage. How dare he attack me like this and then proceeded to insult me.

With in seconds his weight was lifted off of me and I took in a lungful of air. I turned onto my back and brought my hand up to tentatively touch my cheek. It was definitely going to bruise.

"Get up," He demanded as he towered above me. His huge form blocking out the sun that filled the clearing. I glared up at his stoic face as I laid on the ground.

I got up and wiped the dirt off of my clothes briskly, all the while, continuing to glare at him.

Killian crossed his arms over his chest and snarled at me.

"What.is.your.problem?" I seethed as I took in his aggressive and quite frankly, pissed of self.

If anyone should be pissed of, it should blady well be me!

"My problem is that I have to waste my time training a spoilt little brat like yourself. Who can't even defend herself properly!"

My face immediately flamed red and I clenched my fists. It was becoming increasingly hard to restrain my wolf and myself the more he talked.

"Do you know who you are talking to." I'm sorry but I was sick of his attitude and he may be the Delta but I was his Queen Luna and I will not be taken advantaged of. I was going to stick up for myself.

"Unlike you, I know precisely who I am speaking to. I am speaking to someone who is not worthy of being our Queen Luna and someone who will never be able to protect this pack because she is weak and can't even protect herself. "

My eyes watered but I blinked the tears away as fast as they appeared. I will not show him that I am weak. I will not cry.

He thinks I'm not fit to be Queen! Fine, I thought so to at one stage in my life and I will prove him wrong! He thinks I'm weak! Fine, I will show him just how strong I can be!

I refuse to fall into his trap and back out of the training all because he scared me with that little surprise attack and threw hateful words at me.

I knew exactly what he was doing and I won't let him win.

"I, couldn't give a rats arse what you think about me. All I need you for, right now is to train me and if you can't do it, no problem! I'll be on my way then." I said and brushed past him and towards the trees.

When he grasped my arm, to stop me. I wasn't surprised, no way would he face Xavier's wrath of finding out he refused to train me.

I wonder why he bothered to speak so cruelly to me if he feared Xavier? He probably thinks I'd never tattle tale on him and he's right. I wasn't that petty and I didn't need Xavier to stick up for me and fight my battles.

"If you are going to be trained by me then there are some rules." He ground out as I turned to face him.

Crossing my arms in front of my chest I waited for him to continue.

"Rule number one: don't speak unless spoken to. Rule number two: you are never late. Rule number three: No whining, I don't tolerate babies. If you can't handle my methods, leave. Rule number four: no questions asked, you do what I say and that's final."

Wow, and I thought Xavier was demanding. My Weirdo is a gods send compared to this brute in front of me.

"Got it?" He said glaring at me as if I were the worst person on earth.

"Yes, I got it quite clear, Killian."

"There's a shovel behind that tree," He said as he pointed to a tree to the right of him. I turned to look at it and saw a bit of metal peaking from behind the tree.

"Go get it, and once you've got it, you will shovel away all the snow in the clearing into a pile over there." As he said that he pointed to a spot at the edge of the clearing.

My mouth fell open.

"Excuse me wha-"

"You just broke rule number one, three and four and we are only a few minutes into our training. I thought your tiny little brain, said you understood what I said?"

I blinked at him, once, twice, thrice. Breath, just breath, Tori, you can do this, I chanted mentally. I felt as if I was going to explode from the inside. I wanted to strangle him so badly and why the hell do I have to shovel snow? And not just a little bit of snow but the whole clearing?!

I so wanted to rant and question him but then I'd be breaking his stupid rules and he'd just torture me for it afterwards.

With my teeth grinding and my fists clenched I stomped angrily towards the tree and grabbed the shovel. Oh, how I'd like to knock him on his head with this!

I went into the clearing and began to shovel the blasted snow away. Killian watched me silently for a while then snorted and said,

"Training starts at five am tomorrow. Be here, not a second later." With that said he turned on his heels and walked off. Leaving me gaping after him.
