The Dominant Heir

Camila

I woke up to my hands roaming to the right side of the bed, where Leo would usually lie. My tired eyes opened disappointed of the absence of my mate.

As of now, I couldn't tell if we had gotten closer or further apart with Leo after the kiss we shared.

I squinted my eyes at the growing light, pulling myself back under the covers. I never wanted to leave my bed, my only safe place.

Then I heard banging on my door, "GET UP YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"

"ALRIGHT I'M COMING YOU BIG FAT BAFOON!" I huffed at hearing his voice first thing in the morning. I sat on the side of my bed only to push myself back down on it, stretching.

"Fucking living alarms."

"How did you sleep?" Dana asked as she passed me a plate of fried egg and soldiers.

I dipped my bread in the yolk, "Pretty well, by the way, have you seen Leo? Did he come to our room last night?"

"I'm not sure, I did see him leave the palace though." I hummed, disappointed.

After finishing my breakfast I went back up to my room to find myself banging my head on the wall continuously, bored.

The door opened, my head snapped to it, hoping for it to be Leo. Only to groan at the sight of Alex, again, "Why you?"

He ignored me, "Get ready, we're going to the training grounds." I gave him a questioning look.

"You're going to be a mentor at the training camps outside of the palace."

"What? I've only just arrived." He just shrugged; how unhelpful can you get?

"Whatever just be down in 5." He shut the door behind him leaving me in utter silence.

After rummaging through my closet I threw on a sports bra and leggings in black with white trainers. (If you haven't noticed she likes black and white, a lot.)

Skipping down the staircase and to the entrance I saw everyone minus Leo waiting for me. "I said 5, not 7." Alex deadpanned.

"So petty, loosen up." I bounced.

"C'mon, they're waiting."

I followed from behind looking at all the buildings and stalls that were scattered around the outskirts of the palace land.

Met with segregated rows and columns of men and women, I roamed my eyes over all of them.

We were dealing with a handful. "This is Camilla. She will be joining us in training as a mentor."

"Permission to speak?" A teenage boy from the 3rd row raised his hand up.

"Proceed."

"What is she going to teach us? She doesn't look like she's got any fight."

"Wanna bet?" I licked my lips tilting my head slowly. He smirked looking at the others for approval. They nodded.

All the other students backed away watching from the sidelines. "First to get knocked to the ground, wins." I suggested, looking at him. He was weak. Decent in speed but that didn't pay off for his other categories.

Looking at his beginning stance I frowned, "Shift your balance onto your right leg." He didn't move but gave me a glare. "No need to be so hostile, I'm trying to help you."

"Clench your fists firmly." He did, but I'm guessing that was out of anger.

.

"Hey boy, do you think you're strong?" I asked.

"I will be." I supposed that will do.

I ran at him, halfway changing routes to behind him, and my left hand extended into a flat palm. I hit his neck as though a knife chopping something, careful to not hit any vital spots. He fell to the ground instantly.

All eyes were shocked, some were worried, others scared, "He's fine, he'll wake up in a few minutes."

"He'll be a bright warrior, soon. His attitude could use a little work but some training would help significantly." I smiled at my unconscious student.

"I'm getting kind of sleepy." I yawned. (Wait sorry that's just me)

"Permission to speak?"

"Yes?"

"Can we see Luca and Miss Camilla spar?"

"Just Camilla, please. And I'm up for it. What about you, Goldilocks?"

"Sure, we finally get to have that fight." Luca joined me in the middle.

"Winner gets to slap Alex."

"Deal." We circled each other, waiting for the first move.

Luca came at me with a high kick that I caught with my arm, pulling it and kicking him in the stomach. He used his fist and punched my jaw. We threw multiple fast punches at each other, all while blocking the other. I ducked down and tackled his leg resulting in him falling to the floor.

He used his leg and pulled me to the floor, I used both of my legs and pushed his face and body backwards giving me time to get up. Just when he was going to get back onto his feet I jumped up and spin kicked him. He swung a fist at me and I ducked, not seeing the one coming towards my rib.

I groaned and used my rear leg to push kick him. He regained his balance and swung his fist again at me. (This looked way better in my head)

We had gone on for a few minutes until decided to land the final blow, running up to him crouching and my elbowing him hard in the stomach, my other hand as support to push harder.

He spat blood and fell to the ground. "You alright buddy?"

He coughed before answering, "Yeah. That was one blow to my stomach."

"Oops." I laughed breathily, holding out my hand for him to get up with.

"Class is over."

We all walked back to the palace. Luca was healing okay, he's a tough butt.

"Sooo Alex, am I getting that slap anytime soon?"
