The AfterMath

CHAPTER 11: First Day

ANNA

There was a lot to take in from everything Landon told me hours ago and yet, I'm still calm.

"It's time to train." I hear the voice inside my head tell me. Well, my wolf.

"You and I need to talk." I begin telling her.

"We will. For now, focus on training some today and tonight, we will talk." She tells me.

"Okay." I reply after finishing getting dressed.

I head downstairs and grab something quick to eat ans notice that nobody is near by. Then I hear a bunch of laughing and talking coming from outside. After finishing eating, I next start heading outside where I stop on the porch as soon as I see everyone start to stop and look at me.

"Good morning." Giselle first greets me as well as everyone else.

"Good morning everyone." I reply.

Landon comes walking up beside me with a big smile and I notice him stop himself as it looked as though he was about to give me a kiss?

I feel bad but I am still getting used to everything and even though he's my mate, I just, I don't think I'm ready to accept that yet.

"Morning." He says.

"Hi." I smile at him.

"Ready for your training?" He asks me.

"Yeah." I reply.

"Let's get started then." He says. "Follow us." He smiles.

I start to then follow behind him and the rest of them into the woods. We walked a couple of miles in before we stopped in a huge empty spot that was surrounded by tree from the woods but yet, the top wasn't covered by the towering trees.

I also took notice after we stopped in the middle there that some of the people that came with us had quickly ran off and disappeared back into the woods which I thought was weird.

"Where are they going?" I ask Landon.

"Some of them are going to relieve the ones that are around the perimeters who are protecting this territory, so they can rest while the rest of them that went in, it's part of the training." He explains with a smirk and wink.

"Okay." I look at him a little confused. "So what's first?"

"Well, normally, the first thing we would have you do is get to know your wolf but...." He starts but I stop him.

"She already told me that later tonight we'll talk." I tell him.

"Good. Then, now that we know your special ability, we need to first work on that. Because if it gets out of control, it can be bad and very dangerous for everyone, including yourself." He explains with a serious and concerned tone.

"What's my ability?" I ask.

"You're able to manipulate people into believing whatever. You can make people even believe they're in pain or seeing they aren't. You can even go into their dreams." He begins explaining to me.

Now I look at him more like he's messing with me. He has to be. Who in the hell has that kind of an ability? One's that would have that kind would have had to already have been born a wolf......right?

"You're messing with me, right?" I ask him.

"No. I know it's not making any sense but, it is an ability that you have. So with all that said, let's start from there." He says.

"Alright." I reply.

Giselle, Elliot, Rockwell, Kavina and London are all standing in stance in front of me.

"Now, I want you to choose one of us to challenge." Landon suggests.

"But if I don't know....." I started to object but he stops me.

"You will. Trust me. But most of all, trust your wolf." He says.

While I continue looking into his eyes, I feel a sense of trust.

Then as soon as I start looking at the others, I begin to get a little more scared again as I now have to choose who to manipulate, which sounds weird but, cool at the same time. I just hope this works.

"I don't know if I can do this." I start to doubt myself.

"You can." Kavina assures me with a smile. "And don't worry, this is training and nothing personal."

I nod in agreement as I take a look at everyone again and then I finally find the person I want to try it out on and my wolf helps tell me as we look at them.

"I guess then, I'll choose you, Landon." I smirk.

I hope I don't hurt him.

Next chapter will be posted soon! :)
