The Lycan's Soul Mate
chapter 14 Training Day

Soccorah walked up to the Gymnasium after school where she met upwith Luna and a few other girls for a meeting scheduled by coachLucian to participate in a meet against Athena's Community college.They were supposed to practice track. He led them to the field and hadthem begin running laps. Coach was rough on the girls and had thempushing hard. He really wanted to win this meet.

They practiced javelin, shotput, long jump, high jumps and relays. Lunaand Soccorah dominated everything. They only had an hour to practiceso after finishing all their challenges they sat on the bench to cheer onthe rest of the team. “Hey Luna, what do you think about coming overtonight for a sleep over. No family thing happening this weekend” shesmiled.

A week ago when Luna had offered to go over to Soccorah house shehad shot her down to practice some long anticipated magic so shedidn’t want her friend to be too disappointed or to think her weird andnot help her as she really needed help with Anatomy and Chemistry.Soccorah had a natural aversion to those subjects and needed to graspthem in order to succeed.

Luna agreed to spend the night but she just had to inform her parents.This shouldn't be a problem. She now knew what had been causing herso called somnambulism. It was her wolf wanting to come out and herbody fighting it. Now that she had shifted, she knew what to expectand she could just run away if she felt a shift coming anyway.

It had been a long time since she had a friend let alone a sleepover.Haily had always invited her but she later found out what a bitch shewas. Hailey had been using her to gain points with her rich friends asshe desperately wanted to remain in their company. She'd made fun ofLuna. But life has a way of biting you in the back. Right now, Luna wasliving her best life and she really didn’t care what Hailey was up too.“Coach might as well relax. He knows that we could take home thetrophy just us two. It's the boys he has to worry about.” Soccorah saidto Luna. The two of them laughed at the reality of it.

Luna zoned out and drifted to the dream that she had of the beautifulblack wolf with the full moon tattoo on his chest. She was taken abackby what went on in her dreams. She could literally feel the wolf's furbrush against her skin. “What is happening to me” she thought toherself. “Luna! Luna! Hey are you ok?" Soccorah called out to her. WhenLuna came back to reality, she noticed that everyone was gone andLucian was standing above her asking whether she was ok.

“Oh, my goodness did I just doze off? In the middle of practice? I am sosorry Coach. I honestly don't know what came over me.” Lunaapologized. Coach Lucian smiled and simply said “Just don't fall asleepduring the competition and we'll be fine. Now go on and try to getsome rest.” “Thanks coach” they both muttered and walked toward thecampus. “Let's hit the showers”

Soccorah was still baffled at how it was possible for Luna to be so goodat everything. She even seemed to be faster than Luca. But that couldnot be determined as she was still not sure whether Luna was keepingsomething from her or maybe she was just that good. But no humancould outrun Soccorah in track and yet still Luna did. No one could bestronger than her but apparently Luna seemed to be. She secretlydecided to test her with some herbs when she got to their house forthe sleepover later. “Luna! Are we still on for the sleepover later?”Soccorah asked. “Of course,” Luna replied. “Just have to let my parentsknow and grab a change of clothes.” She smiled. Luna was very excitedas this meant a lot to her that someone actually wanted to spend timewith her. She was not used to this type of treatment but she somehowmanaged to secure a friendship without any effort in spite of herpeculiarities. She collected her stuff and headed home to get ready.
