Chapter 132
Alora’s POV
After our nap, I felt refreshed, and a need for some exercise, so I mind link Tobias, Alex and Darien, and tell them to meet me in
the training arena. Darien had been coming here with Serenity so she could visit her brothers on a daily bases. When he wasn’t
by her side, he was with Damien and I, he watched us as I got my plans for my Clan put together, and we learned all we needed
to run it. 2
Damien follows me to the training field, always making sure I was okay. We get to the field and Darien, Alex and Tobias are
already there, then Master Brock, Xander, Beatrice, Master Sam, Victor, Jaxon, Kian, Galen, Kass, Bella and Bulma show up.
Seems we were going to all have plenty of exercise before dinner. When everyone was gathered they all looked to me and
Damien. Damien looked at me and nodded, basically saying, this is your show, and I’m here if you need me.
“Okay everyone, I just want us to do boxing and martial arts, everything will be in human form and without magic. I want us to be
strong even at our weakest, our most vulnerable. Darien you Alex and Tobias are training with me. Damien, you’ll be training with
Master Brock and Master Sam. Victor and Jaxon will be training with Xander. Kian and Galen, you will be training with Beatrice.
Cass, Bella and Serenity, you will be training with Bulma.” I tell them.
Every one splits into their assigned groups and we find spots for our training. Alex and Tobias were looking at me like they were
questioning whether or not I could handle it. Darien looked at them then smirked “You two won’t know what hit ya till you fight her
bare handed.” he says in a wry tone

I sweep one foot behind me and enter into a prepared stance, Darien gets into his own. Tobias and Alex look at each other, then
with looks of determination, both got into boxing stances. I smile, they’re so cute, thinking that would be enough.
With a giggle I explode into action. I go in high just to drop low at the last second to sweep Tobias and Alex’s legs out from
underneath them, then I come up in a spin and get Darien in the chest, sending him back a few feet.
I flip a few times and get back into the position that I was originally in, waiting for my opponents to gather themselves. Tobias and
Alex are giving me looks of surprise, Darien sees them and says “I told you so.” in a gloating tone, the two wolves growl at him,
which only makes him laugh harder at their expense.
They all enter their own martial arts stance this time, after a moment, I attack again, this time, they were better prepared for it.
They were still no match for me however. I go in for ground, mid and high strikes. Never in a pattern, adjusting on a dime. (1)
I use sweeping kicks and flowing movements to block or misdirect hits, retreating here and there before coming back to knock
down my opponent. The exercise was soothing to me, the burn of my muscles as I put them to use, the simplicity of hand to
hand, no magic, no weapons.
It was the boys, laying on the ground groaning for mercy that put a halt to our training battle. I look
down at them my arms crossed with one eyebrow raised. You three need to up your game.” I tell them in a deadpan tone, (!)
“Oh shut up.” Darien says with a groan, I laughed at him.
IOSE
Bulma comes over with her group, Kass, Bella and Serenity. Kass and Bella looked winded and they were covered in dirt and
looked like they took a fair beating. Bulma had blood coming out of her nose and her cheek looked broken, she also had a
shoulder that looked wrong, something definitely happened to it.
Bulma was also covered in dirt, Serenity less so than the others. Bulma spits blood on the ground and her mates, not looking
much better than Kass and Bella, hop up and go to her.
“So….someone failed to mention that this little girl here,” she says pointing to Serenity, “is a Mountainmover,” she spits more
blood onto the ground. “And although she looks so cute and harmless.” pausing to spit out more blood. 3
Her nose must be draining down her sinuses, that would mean her mouth would keep filling with blood till it was stopped. “This
little girl is not some weak helpless little female, I’m lucky my face wasn’t caved in!” Bulma said that last a little hysterically.
Darien was laughing, looking at his mate with pride, while still laid out on the ground. I kick his leg growling “Get up.” at him in an
annoyed tone. He laughs again and gets up, groaning a bit as he does, making me smile.
“I saw that!” he crows at me.
Wiping the smile off my face I look at him in wide eyed innocence “Saw what?” I asked, making sure my tone was just as
innocent as my face.
“Don’t give me that, I know you to well, you just smiled at my pain!” He says in a dramatic fashion.
Still playing up the innocent card “Why Darien…whatever do you mean…I’d never.” I started but he cut it.
“Don’t even, I don’t buy this act and you know it!” He says in an annoyed voice, growling a little.
I couldn’t help it, I burst out laughing, and just kept laughing till I was gasping for air. The others having watched our interaction
laughed as well, Serenity was by his side and had her face turned, she started to giggle, her shoulders shacking with her
laughter. (2)
“Not you too?!” he asks Serenity with exaggerated surprise and offence. This only made Serenity giggle harder. O
“In case anyone cares….my face hurts. Bulma said in an aggrieved tone “Can we go in and get me a healer to fix this.”
Her mates had surrounded her, and were hovering, asking questions. I’m distracted by Damien walking over with Master Brock
and Master Sam. They all looked like they’d rolled around in the dirt and had various wounds bleeding.
Master Brock had a slight limp, Master Sam was holding one of her arms against her and Damien seemed fine other than the
copious amounts of dirt covering him and some bloody spots here and there.
Wondering suddenly about me, I look down and see that I didn’t have that much dirt on me, but I was bleeding in some spots. I
look back up at the group and laugh. “I think we could all use some cleaning along with a healer.” I say to them when I get
questioning looks at my laughter.
They all start to look at each other, Damien came over to me and put an arm around my shoulders, pulling me to his side. We
walk towards the exit heading in the direction following behind, talking to each other. We go to the front of the Clinic, while were
in the waiting room, Luna Ember in a white physicians coat comes out with a chart in her hand heading to the nurses station.
She stops abruptly, blinks, then slowly turns in our direction, her look is one of shock and confusion. “What the hell have you all
been up too?! You all look like you’ve been rolling around in the dirt!” her tone was of shock and exasperation.
“Well….technically….you could say we were rolling around in the dirt.” Darien says while running a hand through his hair,
sending up a cloud of dirt.
The Luna, looking flabbergasted said “Technically?!” her voice was elevated and her tone full of incredulity.
“Well…it wasn’t voluntarily done, I did not enjoy it.” he says with a whine. 2
His mother looks at him with lips pursed, her eyes narrowed and one eyebrow raised in the demand for more information. Darien
looks at her sheepishly, realizing his mother wasn’t caring for his humor at the moment. He started to talk when faced with that
look.
“So Alora wanted to train, and thats what we did, only she wanted hand to hand combat, and martial arts. I got paired with her
and those two.” he says pointing at Bulma’s mates. “We went up against Alora, and she kept sending me flying and rolling across
the ground. So it’s really Alora’s fault.” he said with a finger pointed in my direction.
I gasp and look at him in opened mouth shock, then I point at him and say in an accusing tone “Traitor.”
Serenity’s head drops, her hand on her forehead, she was shaking her head. Then she lifts her head back up and glares at him
and asks in an annoyed tone “Really?”
“How is it Alora’s fault that you can’t keep her from tossing you to the ground?” the Luna asks him in a dry tone.
“Mom!” Darien whines at her.
“Don’t ‘Mom’ me, train harder.” She snaps at him. Everyone was laughing now, the Luna looks us over then gives an order to the
nurse at the station.
The nurse lifts up her phone and starts calling names and telling them to report to the waiting room,
The nurse lifts up her phone and starts calling names and telling them to report to the waiting room, once every one was there,
the Luna claps her hands getting everyone’s attention.
“All right everyone this is how it’s going to go.” Her voice was sharp and clear, it rang with authority and confidence. “Since
everyone here comes attached to a mate or two, fated pairs are going to be seen together by one healer. I want you all cleaned
up, healed up, and dressed in the next two hours.”
“What’s in two hours?” Damien asked.
“Dinner, you all are going to be having dinner with me and the Alpha to go over the last minute details of Alora’s adoption
Ceremony.” she said the last part with a bright and cheery
