The Last Royal Luna
(Book 2) – Chapter 60

The run in our wolves was amazing and so refreshing. Blue had a blast tackling her mates and running away after nipping one on the butt. Everything was amazing and Blue got some adult alone time with the wolves. I got some extra rest that was burdened down like before while that happened and it really brought my mood up. Even after shifting back and getting dressed I was in a playful mood. I pinched all of their cute butts and blamed it on the person beside them. It wasn’t believable but was totally worth their break in concentration. I was doing good at getting away until I licked Andrew across his whole forehead but before I could finish he had his arms wrapped around me licking every inch of my face.

“Ok, now who was going to take down our girl?” He threw me over his shoulder as we walked toward the training area. I pounded on his back calling him a butt face but he didn’t even acknowledge my insult.

“I want to go first. I want to see the shock each time I get her on her a*s.” Knox hooted running off in front of us trying to beat us.

“Hey, speedy, make sure you replace us somewhere to play fight where the other males won’t laugh every time I beat you.” I snickered at his gasp. I got another s******g from Andrew, but it was totally worth it.

“Hey, hands off the merchandise unless your trying to cheat and help your brother mates.” Asher and Blake g*****d at that term. I thought it was hilarious and it showed when I laughed so hard I snorted.

“Here, my beautiful little piggy.” Kane pulled me from Andrew and dropped me onto the training mat. “You ready to lose? Knox is going to go easy on you so you don’t get yourself hurt.” I growled at his s**t eating grin and punched him in the back of the knee when he turned to leave. His leg buckled under him and he was on the floor in front of me. I smirked at him before standing up and taking my shirt off.

“Ok, well we know she is ready to play dirty so let’s do this.” Knox started to circle me nodding at his brother to get up and out of the way.

“No shifting or using your powers, my beautiful mate. We all know what Blue could kick all our asses and your powers can be scary as f**k.” Asher eyes me waiting on a response, a verbal response.

“Are you saying I can’t?” Knox takes a leap at me but I sidestep causing him to stumble toward the edge of the mat. I turned making sure my eyes stay on him.

“You are getting better…slowly.” Blake tries to reassure me but it falls flat. I glare over at him letting my guard down which was stupid. Knox tackles me knocking my h*p against the ground hard.

“Ooff.” That was going to leave a bruise for a few hours today. I had to focus on getting my breathe back but I could feel like the insecurities raging to come out and play.

“You can’t take your eyes off your opponent, no matter what.” Knox reminded me as he stepped back. I could hear the guys snickering like it was funny s**t for me to be losing.

“Ya know if you assholes want to actually help me get better so that I don’t die. That would be great. If not, shut the hell up.” I growled out as I got up ignoring the hand Knox had held out for me. He only did it since he saw how frustrated I was getting. They usually let me get up by myself which is a lesson in itself.

They all sunk their shoulders down realizing they were being big bullies. Blue was upset with them and even turned her back on them. They might not know they were getting snubbed right now by my sassy, perfect wolf but it made us both feel better. I just wish they would have paid more attention and if they stopped being mean to me when it came to being competitive. Being put down or compared to others and found lacking doesn’t get my motor running. It just pisses me the f**k off and wanting to stop doing any of it.

“We are so sorry. We just get a bit competitive and it is what pushes us so we figured it would help you.” Asher rubbed the back of his neck and looked away.

“Well if you had asked I would of told you that doesn’t help me in the slightest. It makes me want to tell you to shove this training up your a*s and I will replace someone else to help me. I need encouragement, tips, hands on help, and sometimes when I am so tired and worn out I will need food or s*x bribes.” I got in position to fight again and looked at Knox.

“I can’t fight anymore. I am sorry. I feel too bad about what we have done and I know I light I will take it on you which will teach you nothing.” He stepped out of the ring.

‘These guys are killing me, Ryder. Maybe the Alpha will. He seems to be super strong.’ I agreed with her.

“Blue suggested the Alpha so I am going to link him and see. Why don’t you guys give me some space and work on your own fighting skills for a bit?” They all looked at each other like they all thought it was a bad idea. “Please.” That did it. They nodded and paired off walking to the other fighting circles nearby.

‘Hey, Alpha. I need you help if you have time.’ This was going to spook the crap out of him and I was living for it.

‘Who is this? How can you link me? I know your not pack.’ I could hear the growl and irritation in his response and it made me giddy.

‘Its Ryder. Did you not know that Royals can link any wolf?’

‘That information must have slipped your parents minds when telling us some of their gifts. What can I help you with? After cleaning up my coffee mess I just made.’

‘Sorry about that. My mates are sucking at training and I need some hand to hand training. Could you come down and help me for a bit?’ I wasn’t really that sorry and only I needed to know that.

‘I will send the future alpha. He could use the training and see how we are fairing in this soon to be war.’ Well, crap on a cracker.

‘ummm is he upset about his brother? Are you upset?” Please don’t be I kept repeating to myself. I don’t want to fight an angry alpha.

‘No, he messed that up on his own and I am proud you didn’t want someone to love you for your status. If only he agreed with that. He is the one missing out. His brother feels the same and has looked for you a bit so that he could apologize for his crappy brother. I linked him and he is on his way. Kick his a*s for me, ya?!’

I linked back a thank you and letting him know I will detail how I kicked his sons a*s at dinner tonight. He just chuckled and I started stretching so I wouldn’t focus on the drama in my life. I was going to do my best to win these training fights and get better so that I would be a better help to my people.

I nodded to the guys as they were fine, letting them know I was ok. I was a big fan of this pack and how they ran things. They all pitched in to keep up with the property, the buildings, and the finances. All the families were cared for even if they were on the lowest part of the hierarchy. They all either had jobs outside of the pack, jobs within the pack, or took care of the others as their job. I hope this future Alpha wasn’t going to fail them. If the soon to be beta was any indication, I was worried.
