Song by Passenger Let Her Go.

Dahlia's POV

We had Matt watch the stupid Games master my mates stood behind Tiana and I first day of training. "Um Dahlia can I sit out of this, it's just bringing up a certain someone I'm not ready to help you I'm sorry." Tiana wiped her tears and left I understand I don't even want to do this now but our warriors in training need it so here goes. I shout to be heard we have brought well over 200 wolves with us. "NOW NO RELYING ON YOUR WOLVES, I UNDERSTAND THAT WILL BE HARD, BUT TO SEE THE LEVEL OF YOUR SKILL NONE OF YOUR WOLVES ARE TO HELP YOU!" I talk to my mates. "I can't shout anymore." Darius bends down pushing his head through my legs before standing up again, I hold onto his head for support. Ah much better.
"OK EVERYONE TAKE A PARTNER ONE WILL PLAY THE ATTACKER." I watch as they select partners. "NOW ATTACKERS YOU WILL BE GIVEN WOODEN POLES I WANT EVERYONE ELSE TO DODGE AND AVOID BEING HIT BY THE ATTACKERS. UNDERSTAND SO MOVE YOUR FEET. ANTICIPATE YOUR ATTACKER, I WANT YOU TO TRY AND STEAL THE POLES FROM THEM BUT NOT WITH STRENGTH, AGILITY OK. I WILL SEPARATE YOU INTO TEAMS SO I CAN WATCH YOU INDIVIDUALLY." I decided to separate them in groups of four so four pairs.

They begin not moving much I guess they're used to that. I notice Tiana a few feet away with her hands holding her head sitting on a rock. She shakes her head yeah I know that look what I'm working with. She catches my eyes and gives me the 'good luck with them' eyes. "Ok team 1 what are your names?" I ask "Lanken and that's Bruce." I nod "well Lanken I need you to be more agile Bruce is not your friend now ok he is the enemy he brings his pole under your feet again to try and knock you off you jump and avoid ok. Think of different ways to avoid being hurt." I look to everyone "THAT GOES FOR EVERYONE, YOUR NOT FIGHTING YOUR FRIEND THEY ARE THE ENEMY ANTICIPATE, DODGE IM NOT WORKING ON YOUR OFFENCE YET WE'RE WORKING ON DEFENCE GOT IT." Some nod others frown or glare at me

Those who are wanting to push themselves are trying and I see them more outmanoeuvring their attackers until I hear this. "LUNA I'M DONE WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR HOURS USUALLY WE ARE GIVEN TWO BREAKS BY NOW." Some men stop and nod and shout Yeah in agreement. My god they are soft. I was about to give them hell when Tiana walks up to the bastard that shouted. She flipped him over her shoulder so he was lying on his back. "DOES ANYONE ELSE WANT TO COMPLAIN TO YOUR QUEEN, YOUR ALL WOOSES THIS MAY NOT FEEL LIKE LIFE AND DEATH TO YOU, BUT THIS TRAINING MEANS SOMETHING TO NOT JUST YOUR QUEEN BUT MYSELF INCLUDED WE KNOW A DAM GOOD HUMAN WHO NEVER COMPLAINED OR GAVE US A HARD TIME, FOR TRAINING HER, AND RIGHT NOW YOUR INSULTING HER NAME I INSULTING HER MEMORY AND I WON'T STAND FOR IT. NO MORE COMPLAINTS YOU WEAK PIECES OF SHIT OR I'LL GET THE GAMES-MASTER TO BRING BACK ALL HIS BLOODY GLADIATORS AND THERE WILL BE NONE OF YOU LEFT. NOW GROW SOME BALLS AND FIGHT OR ARE YOU NOT ROYAL WARRIORS BECAUSE ALL DAHLIA AND I SEE ARE PUPS!" She slammed her foot on the guy still on the floor he gasped and coughed as Tiana made her way back to me, where I took her hand and whispered "thanks sis couldn't of said it better myself." She put her arm around my shoulder bringing me into her side. "Like I said before I got your back sis." No-one complained after that, if they got tired or were ready to give up all they had to do was look at our no nonsense faces and got back half way through we swapped the pairs around the defenders were now the attackers. Both Tiana and I knew this was going to be a long day, we both went around each pair discussing possible attacks to avoid and different ways to attack. I was rather tired and Darius and Logan called time the warriors in training missed their lunch because they gave off and as punishment Tiana and I decided they'd have to skip it. It was six o'clock now so we called time they were all tired and sweaty from the training, it'll get easier as they progress.

Magnus was another Palace chef he was cooking BBQ food I asked Tiana to help me with the bonfire I made sure to bring mountains of bags of marshmallows got tot make hell less evil. Was then I noticed a cluster of our warriors in training surrounding the shallow pit of deceased slaves bodies. I saw in my utter horror as they thought it funny to pick up bones and a skeleton of a slave with Oh no Rose's hair it was our Rose. I ran up to them when they saw me some men moved. I shoved past the rest. I couldn't get through so I shouted "STOP LAUGHING AND LEAVE HER ALONE!" The warriors looked at me and quietly stood letting me through. I walked right up to asshole and punched him good and hard on the nose breaking his pathetic nose. I was fuming and appalled they acted worse than pups. "You will gently put my sister down you fucking pig. That girl was a warrior you are NOTHING. All of you think it's funny to disrespect these young girls who died fighting for their lives. They are not some school project they were werewolves and humans, young wolves who haven't shifted yet and the one your 'playing with' was not just one of my friends but a sister. An amazing 15year old human girl who never new a fight till she came here. This is Rose and she was the most beautiful person I'll ever know." I was getting welled up with emotion. Tiana came and screamed at what the fucker was doing. "What is your name pup." I was pissed beyond belief, Tiana knelt down to our sister and cried swearing at the stupid mutt. I got in his face "ANSWER ME!" I used what authority I had. "Dylan Cross." He gulped and bowed when he saw his kings stride in angered. "Well Dylan Cross this is highly disrespectful thing your doing, forget she was a sister to me for a second, you think it's funny to dance and play around with a young deceased warrior, your the vilest thing I've ever met, and I trained here for fucks sake. Now she's my sister not by blood but by choice how would you like it if your sibling died a horrible death and then a stupid PIPSQUEAK like yourself messes with their body. Have you no respect for the dead, who were just thrown in here, if not I don't want to see you again." I couldn't hold back my tears as my eyes met Rose again. Logan came up to Dylan and Darius pulled me into his chest. "Dylan Cross you are not worthy of a warrior, you will not only leave this place but I hereby exile you from the pack." I watched as Logan grabbed his shirt and growled out "You hurt my mate your Queen YOU ARE A ROGUE, LEAVE NOW!" Logan released him as Dylan's wolf howled in pain as he ran. "Anyone else believe this is funny can become rogues too I will not tolerate my warriors immaturity GOT IT!" They all looked down replying "yes your majesties." Logan dismissed them. When they left I knelt down opposite Tiana who was now being comforted by Matt I gently placed Roses body in a blanket and wrapped it around her. "Tiana when we return to the Palace we will have a proper burial for Rose. I want to take Rose back with us when this is over." I looked to my mates who solemnly nodded agreeing to my demands. Tiana nodded and continued to cry into Matts chest.
Tiana got up and walked to me sniffing and sat next to me and Rose. I pulled her into my side and she cried resting her head on my shoulder. We both looked up to the dark sky. Tiana spoke as if it was just the three of us again. "Hey sissy we're here I hope your having a party it feels strange not being with you, but Dahlia and I are fine so don't worry about us down here love you." Tiana closed her eyes and I rested my head on top of hers.
