Only Omega - Book 1. (Complete)

Chapter Nineteen.

Rachel’s P.O.V.

The next morning after the usual routine I left Holden with Rebecca to head for the training clearing. By the time I got there, Dalton was already snapping at everyone including my group, that is until I stepped in.

“Their my group, I deal with them, not you” I stated turning to face my group with my hands placed firmly on my hips with my grey hoodie tied around my waist and dirty blond hair pulled back into a high ponytail.

“From now on you only answer to me, understand?” I asked glancing from Fletcher to Jake then eventually focusing my gaze on Tate for a fraction of a seconds. They all nodded, bowing their heads to show their respect.

“Yes, Luna” they said in unison as I turned sideways to face Dalton with my fists balled at my sides and my head held high with pride.

“You were saying?” I prompted with an eyebrow raised in expectation, waiting for him to continue on his rant. He glanced between me and my group saying “Today we assess your fighting capabilities which will allow us to see and work on your individual weaknesses” I nodded my head in agreement and crossed my arms over my chest, taking up my place in between Dalton and Colton.

“Collin, you’re up first against-.” Dalton paused to look at me waiting for my response “Beau” I said nodding my head in his direction. Dalton looked at Collin, jerking his head in the direction of the clearing, guiding him to take up his stands across from Beau.

“First one to draw blood wins” Dalton announced crossing his own arms over his chest, getting comfortable to watch the fight with a trained eye to point out their flaws and weak spots.

“Now fight!” I ordered and watched as Beau instantly lunged at Collin, ending in Collin dodging and sending a fist into Beau’s stomach. Dalton shook his head.

“He’s too impatient” he stated glancing down at me out of the corner of his eye while referring to Beau. I nodded as Beau landed a blow to the side of Collin’s face, causing him to stumble back and expose his side clearly to Beau.

“His right side’s exposed” I pointed out and Dalton shifted his weight uneasily from beside me “That will only result in injury if he does that in battle” as soon as the words left Dalton’s lips, Beau struck Collin in the side, sending him tumbling to the clearing floor. Beau loomed over top him, about to send another punch to Collin’s jaw when Collin rolled out of the way and up onto his feet, countering with a punch of his own.

“Quick thinking” I muttered to Dalton as the rest excluding Colton looked at us with furrowed brows and confused looks plastered across their faces.

“But not quick enough” Beau rammed into Collin, knocking him over and sending punch after punch into Collin’s jaw. Dalton nodded his head towards the scene and taking a step forward I yelled “Stand down!” both froze and Beau got off of Collin, extending a hand to help him up as they both turned to look at me.

“That’s enough for now” I announced turning to approach Dalton again. He was glancing at both Collin and Beau with judgemental eyes when I said “So Beau’s impatient and Collin is exposing himself too much?” Dalton nodded in reply, finally tearing his eyes away from the pair to look down at me with his jaw set and eyes emotionless.

“Collin thinks faster than most which could come in handy when up against the Raptors” he said and I immediately thought back to my fight with Brice. He thought quickly and accurately then he acted out accordingly.

“I agree, we need more skilled fighters like that if we’re going to stand a chance against them” I replied, glancing across the clearing in the direction of the pack house but turned my attention onto Dalton when he breathed out heavily, causing a low rumble to start up from his chest.
