decimating shifters. It was all out battle and a part of me was giddy for it. Anna stood in the middle of it, her hair up in a ponytail and a disappointing look in her face.

“Isn’t that Sarah?” Rhonda asked, pointing to Anna. Anna’s eyes snapped to where we were and her lip curled before she started stomping over. Holding up my hands I backed away from Rhonda who smirked at Anna’s anger.

“Who let you in?” She snarled at Rhonda, who only smiled at Anna.

“It’s good to see you again too. Anna looked to me and I raised my hands higher in the air, widening my eyes.

“You wanted them here didn’t you, just didn’t want me to be happy for too long.”

“Speaking of you being happy, where’s that sexy brother of yours Luna.” Rhonda asked, pouring as much lust as she could into the sentence. I giggled when Anna punched her in the nose.

“Little bitch.”

“Stupid slut.” Anna smiled before hugging her and clapping her on the back.

“You think maybe you can call back the lycans? They’re going to injure everyone. They keep throwing everybody who fights them, which is everyone. They’re trying to prove their worth or some dumb shit like that.” Anna said to Blake who merely shrugged.

“That’s all on Matt.” Anna rolled her eyes and kept her gaze from me and I walked away from the conversation. I could handle it. Walking to, approximately, the middle of the training area I summoned air to me and took a deep breath.

“Shut up, sit down and stay still!” I screamed, making sure it rattled everyone’s brains and smirked when all but two did what I said. Matt and Ander stood next to each other looking bloodied and bruised as all hell.

“You’re putting my shifters out of commission.” I said, putting my hands on my hips and glaring at Matt.

“Maybe they should be better fighters, whoever is training them isn’t doing a good job.” If possible my eyes narrowed even more. I sent a call out to the victors and walked to him.

“You versus us.” I said simply and excitement poured off of him.

“Us as in this lot, or your lot.”

“My lot.”

“Hey Matt!” Leo exclaimed, suddenly appearing behind me to my right.

“You called?” Urse drawled on, standing to my left.

“Hi MattyPoo!!” Filly practically yelled at him, jumping on Leo’s back.

“Have you guys been hiding from me?” Eva said condescdingly, standing next to Leo.

“I’d really appreciate it if you weren’t such an asshole when you call for us. A simple ‘Can you come here please?’ would suffice.” Seamus groaned, standing behind me.

“That isn’t hardly fair. There’s five of us and six of you, you’ll get hurt.” I rolled my eyes before shrugging.

“If they’re a waste of your time, spend it on something more exciting.” His eyes blazed with something before he nodded.

“If I beat you does that mean I, inherently, beat Ander as well?”

“Stop antagonizing my mate, you’re fighting me. Leo, you take Rick. Filly, you take Rhonda. Eva to Blake and Seamus you can take Lisa.”

“What about me?” Urse said, whining slightly.

“Help wherever you see there’s a weak link.”

 

                They all moved out the way, not wanting to get caught in the cross hairs of battle. We stood on one end while they stood on the other.

“You can just take back the mean stuff you said, we don’t want to hurt you!” Leo yelled, his muscles twitching as he stood guard.

“Don’t try and beg us to not pummel you!” Blake yelled back. Pure excitement circulated through me. I felt something poking at me mentally and I stood fully, looking around. Ander looked directly at me and I could tell it was his wolf.

“Calm down, nothing bad is going to happen to me.” I said softly through the link and winked at him. He crossed his arms and leaned back against the wall behind him.

“Ready!” Matt yelled, bringing my eyes back to him. I looked to Rick to see he was glaring fully at me.

“Hey Leo?” I whispered through the link while I shook out my hands.

“Yeah?”

“Don’t go easy on Rick.”

“Don’t worry, Filly told me what he said to you. It didn’t matter if you picked me for him or not I would’ve decked him anyway.” I smiled at that and focused on Matt.

“Go!”

 

 

                We all ran at each other, no real malice in the air and no intent to hurt each other. If it turned out that one of us was severely hurt then… well, they should try harder to not get hurt next time. My eyes locked on Matt’s and with a smirk I bought out my wolf. His beast took over and we ran to each other, neither of us a lesser alpha to give first. He looked a little too confident and with an inward roll of my eyes I let my legs give out and slid low, grabbing his shins and pulling him with me as I slid. Using half of my strength I dragged him across the dirt. I felt the resistance and knew he bought his claws. I came to a crouch and threw him across the field, smiling as he bumped into Rhonda and Filly knocking them both off.

“Come on Matty! I’m at least a third of your weight!” I taunted, carefully putting my hands on my hips and cocking my head at him as he stood and glared at me.

“Aww is the little lycan grumpy that the mean wolf lady threw him-“ He as fast, I knew that when we were younger but his speed seemed to have increased. One minute he was where I threw him, the next he was ramming into me. His shoulder dug into my ribs and he pushed upward. I gnashed my teeth and growled low in my throat, my nails digging into his skin as I pulled myself out before he could sandwich me in between him and the wall. He howled in pain but only ran faster. Groaning at his stupidity, I grew my claws out longer and dug into his skin more for better grip and threw myself out of his embrace, which was light. I jumped over him using his back and rolled until I was crouched and glared at him as he turned around.

“You tried to break my ribs!”

“Would I ever do that?” He asked incredulously, rolling his shoulders and the pain from his back out. I sensed something coming from behind me and I ducked, just in time to avoid Rick’s body as it flew over my head. He skidded until he lay at Matt’s feet and I stood up fully, folding my arms and looking at the pathetic younger lycan. Leo strode until he stood next to me and stretched out, his lion peeking out from those eyes. I could smell it and feel the presence of it all around me, and I took pride in it as I stuck my nose in the air.

“Seems like you overlooked one when you were training.” Leo said kindly. I heard a soft grunt before Rhonda was thrown into Matt, who caught her and placed her down gently.

“Make that two.” Filly said breathily, wiping her hands and standing next to Leo. I heard Blake groan as she got up. Eva kicked her in the stomach one more time which caused her to fall back down.

“She wasn’t that bad, managed to land a hit or two on me. “ Eva shrugged before crossing her arms and trying to keep from smiling.

“I was done with mine, but then we started talking. She’s actually pretty interesting.” Seamus said and crossed his legs. I let out a startled laugh, seeing him sitting on Lisa was hilarious. She was so red and I could tell she had tried to push him off of her at least once. I looked to Matty who looked to all of us.

“I see you made sure to keep yourself surrounded by strong people.” There was strange pride in his eyes and it made something in my heart twang.

“I did. Always have.” I didn’t look to the rest of them, my words were for him only and I needed to know that he knew that.

“You flatter me, Luna.” I shrugged and casually flung my hand to the side.

“It’s the truth.” My words were anything but casual and I saw the effect it had on him and the others.

“That’s all fine and dandy, but we have training to do.” Uncle Bercelack boomed, Matt looked away from me hesitantly and I wouldn’t admit how much of a loss I felt. I would have to keep my emotions in check. Being mated meant that there was a direct link to our emotions and I could feel the waves of rage as they crashed into me from him, and knew that anything that was felt in too great an amount would crash into him, only making the anger worse. I looked to Uncle Bercelack and didn’t see the joyous adopted uncle I had, but the vicious dragon warlord he was. He wore a black shirt and black sweatpants, his hair pulled into a ponytail and his beard seemed slightly trimmed. His arms were crossed and his feet were a firm shoulder length apart. His eyes looked disapproving and hard, which only made me roll my eyes.

“Sorry uncle!” I said happily, skipping to him and kissing his chin before smiling up at him.

“Go on and get dressed. It’s time we got serious.” His voice was gruff and he kept his eyes on the small group of lycans and they looked at him right back.

“I’d say what I have on is suitable enough.” I looked down to my shirt and shorts and looked back up at him, he still didn’t acknowledge me, his eyes were glued to the group that was steadily growing.

“They mean no harm, they’re friendly. Of that you have my word. We are all here and working together toward a peaceful goal.” I braced my hands out and stepped back slightly, moving in front of them and showing him where I stood.

“They need to be trained, we don’t have time to sit around lollygagging.”

“They’ve been trained already, by me. I trust that their alpha has passed along training to the rest of them. They won’t be a problem.” He stared at them a bit longer before looking down at me.

“As long as you promise not to get too distracted.” He cocked a brow and his eyes flicked to something over my head and I knew he was looking between Matt and Ander.

“It’s war time, I’ve had enough distractions.” He gave a curt nod before a tight smile lit his face.

“Well then, let’s get this training session moving!”

 

 

 

                I looked around at the petri dish of species that had been called to fight. The demons were spread about and everyone else looked at them warily, which they ignored and focused on whatever it was they were doing. There were gargoyles that stuck closer to the rocky walls, which was understandable. In this particular training room there were lycans, bears, tigers and dragons. Sounds of small battle were heard, but so was joy. Friends egged each other on, and the few people who fought with swords weren’t fighting too seriously. Ander stood next to me, looking at what I saw and bumping into me lightly. I looked to him to find him smiling down at me.

“You look relaxed.” He said softly and I smiled gently before looking back the training.

“I shouldn’t be, but I am. Like I’m doing what I was meant to be doing all along. Helping them. I was supposed to be there for so long, but now that I’m here… it’s like I can breathe easier Ander. I should be stressed, I’ve got less than a month to get everything together, they still don’t know how to properly use guns and they haven’t had combat conditioning yet. There’s still so much to be done, and I’m not worried about any of it.” He huffed out a breath
