A Low Blow
yeah so basically I wrote the entire chapter only for it to get deleted for some reason...you have no idea how mad I was that I had to write the chapter all over again I was basically going to tear my hair out :P But I decided I won't keep you guys waiting long and made myself sit down and write. So hope you like it :)
Lux's P.O.V.
It was a lovely morning when I woke up, the sky was blue, the birds were chirping...and I was sneaking into Shane's room with a bucket of water.
"Shane?"I asked shaking him "Wake up" he didn't even stir. Shane was always a heavy sleeper. I looked at Shane's sleeping figure and sighed "I hate to have to do this" I looked down at the water sadly "Oh well" I shrugged with a smile and threw the cold water on him. Shane jumped up with a gasp and I couldn't help but start laughing at his startled expression.
"LUX" he yelled but I was clutching my stomach from laughing so hard.
"You--you should have--seen your---face" I said between laughs and he just glared at me.
"I'm going to kill you" he said getting up but I held up both my hands in surrender
"You wouldn't wake up and I wanted you're help" I said with a pout. He assessed my clothes and smirked
"you're work-out clothes" he stated, referring to my tight white shorts, a black tank-top with a jacket above it. "Talk"
"I just think it's time to torture these wolves and see what they're made of" I said innocently. A sly grin formed on his lips
"And you want lil'ol me to wake them up" he stated
"Yeah you and your evil twin" I smiled "Cause I know you love annoying the crap out of people" I laughed "Now are you still mad that I threw water on you?"
"No" he shrugged and went to his closet "now where is it?"
"What?" I asked
"My bull horn" he said in a 'duh' tone
"Since when do you have a bullhorn?"
"There it is" he said lifting up a red bullhorn and grinned at me "And to answer your question remember on my birthday when I got drunk and stole a few squirrels?" I nodded remembering how
I had woken up to find five squirrels in my room. I still don't know how they caught them "Yeah well directly after that. It just looked so cool I bought it"
I rolled my eyes at his answer and just went back to my room as Shane went to wake up his brother. I laid on my bed with my hands behind my head, waiting for Shane and Cameron to wake everyone up.

"MOVE YE"R BLOODY ARSES AND GET OUT OF YE' DANG BED IT'S TRAININ TIME" I started laughing at Shane's horrible fake accent and made my way to the back yard, sitting on one of the chairs waiting for the guys to come out. I could still hear Shane yelling from inside the house and the packs shouting profanities at him.
"Did you really give the twins, of all people, a bullhorn?" Jason said walking outside shirtless, with some jeans. Damn that boy's abs.
"Howdy Y'all the name's Cameron. NOW GET UP BEFORE I LET THE PIGS TAKE CARE OF Y'ALL" Cameron shouted from inside making me roll my eyes.
I raised both my hands chuckling and smiled "Don't look at me Shane already had it in the closet" I laughed "I'm guessing everyone is awake?"
"Much to their discomfort" he smiled "So today should be fun for you"
"Oh yes if they think I'll go soft they've got another thing coming" I smiled at him
"Listen Lux I kind of wanted to t--" He started but was interrupted by a bunch of guys coming out to the back yard.
Jason was obviously annoyed but stood beside me with the rest of the guys. The untrained guys stood in front of me while the others stood just watching from the side. I saw Damon from the corner of my eye watching me, but I blocked everything out. Today was about training.
"Alright" I took a few steps to the front "For those of you who don't know me you should know that I take my training very seriously"
"Understatement" Chase coughed from behind me. I looked over my shoulder and shot him a wink.
"Now my training is different and probably exhausting but it pays off. A pack is nothing if it's not strong. And if you don't like where this is going I suggest you leave now" I stayed quiet waiting to see if someone leaves, my lips curved into a crooked smile "good. We can start now"
"Aren't we supposed to change to wolf?" A guy asked
"Who said anything about changing?" I said and smiled at their confused expressions "You're wolf is only as strong as your human. That's where most packs make mistakes, they depend on their wolf and forget about training in human. You'd be amazed at what you could do if you just trained in yourc human form."
"That's a load of bull" the same guy said
"Oh you think so?" I smiled a bit smugly "Well how about a bit of a demonstration" I looked back at my boys "What do you think boys"
Jason shook his head "You already know the answer to that Lux, We don't fight you we're just here to make sure there's no trouble" he said, his gaze flickering to Damon.
I sighed "A girl can only hope" I turned back to the group in front of me "Any volunteers"
"Sure" the guy from before came up "Kurt" he extended his hand and I shook it "And don't worry I'll be easy on you" I raised my eyebrow at his remark and heard Chase mumble 'bad move' behind me. I smirked
"Change" I told him and he looked at me in confusion
"I thought you said we weren't changing.
"I'm not, you are" His eyes widened
"What? No way!" he said in shock but I just rolled my eyes
"Just change" I told him, he looked skeptical but in the end went behind the tree and came back in his wolf form.
"Lux what the hell are you doing?" Jared said, worry in his voice
"Lux, Kurt said he doesn't want to hurt you please rethink this" Damon pleaded
"Let me work" I said not taking my eyes off the wolf in front of me. Kurt lunged towards me and I moved aside expertly eyeing his movements. Each lunge I'd dodge I'd look at him trying to find a weakness. Once I spotted it I jumped at him when he least expected it and elbowed him in the ribs, not hard enough to break them just cause him pain.
Kurt pulled back and I used the opportunity to wrap my arms around his head and wrestle him to the ground. We struggled for a bit before I pinned him to the ground. I waited a few moments and the stopped moving from under me.
I got up ignoring the dumbfounded expressions and smiled at the group.
"Alright spit up in groups"
I made everyone split up in groups of two, taking turns in fighting in their human form. They had to pin their opponent down till they'd stop struggling. But injuring each other was definitely not allowed. I wanted strong, trained wolves, not injured ones.
I looked over and noticed Whitney in her wolf form fighting a girl. I noticed her biggest weakness almost immediately. She fought based on emotion and didn't have reason. The poor girl fighting her looked scared to death. But as much as I wanted to see Whitney's fighting techniques I needed to focus on the rest of the wolves. Training for me was nothing personal, just business.
Suddenly something caught my eye and I turned around to see Whitney lunging at the girl and almost biting her leg. What the hell? didn't I say no injuring anyone? I marched angrily towards Whitney and just as she was about to lunge at that poor girl's throat I pushed her aside.
"Change" I told her "now" the small gray wolf went behind a tree and after a few minutes came back.
"What?" she asked me annoyed. I felt the anger boil in me just itching to surface. I hated when people pulled stunts like that.
"Did I or did I not say no injuring your partner?" I asked "These lunges were obviously not to pin her down"
"So? What's it to you?" she asked and clenched my fists.
"This is my training Whitney and I told you how seriously I take them."
"You're not the one to boss me around" she said angrily and I took a deep breath and told myself to calm down.
"Now you listen good Whitney" I took a threatening step towards her "I don't care who you think you are. This is my training and the next time you pull a stunt like that it's not some girl you're going to fight it will be me. And I won't just go for pinning you down got it?" I stared at her angrily and she merely nodded "Good"
I turned around and was about to walk towards the guys again when
"Lux watch out" Jason yelled in panic just in time for a searing pain to go through my stomach, and then I blacked out.
Damon's P.O.V.
Okay wow was all I could think of. My mate fought a wolf in her HUMAN form. I had nothing but admiration for her as I watched her. She had no idea what she was doing to me. Just the sight of her in those shorts were enough to drive me and my wolf crazy.
She was now yelling at Whitney, which she had every right to I saw how she was attacking that girl. Damn she looked hot mad. I watched her as she turned after giving Whitney a piece of her mind and started walking away.
"Lux watch out" I heard Jason say before Whitney turned wolf and lunged at Lux, Biting her on the side of her stomach. Lux fell to the floor.
I ran to Lux and saw that five guys had all turned wolf and jumped on Whitney to get her away from her. Lux was bleeding and it tore my heart to see her this way.
"Jason" I called for him and Jason turned angrily but once his eyes spotted Lux he ran shifted, pulled up his shorts and carried her away. Although I wanted to carry her to see if she was okay I had to take care of Whitney, who was still surrounded by four angry wolves.
"WHITNEY" I yelled in my alpha tone "INSIDE, NOW"
All the guys left, to check on Lux I presume, and Whitney shifted back and followed me inside. As soon as I reached my office I had her by the throat against the wall.
"Who the HELL do you think you are hurting LUX" I yelled. she fought against my tight grip.
"I'm sorry she just made me mad I couldn't control my wolf" She said but I could tell she was lying but by this point I was trying hard to control my wolf.
"I should kill you right now" I said but pulled my hand away and turned around "Try anything like that again and I just might. the only reason your alive right now is because your dad is my dad's best friend"
"Why do you care so much?" she asked angrily "She's not even in our pack."
I stayed silent "Come on honey let's work this out" she said hugging my waist "Any...suggestions?" she asked kissing my neck. I felt disgust and pulled away.
"No Whitney. I don't want to do this anymore"
"It's because of her isn't it?" she asked stepping back "I don't get why--" she cut herself off "Oh my god" she let out a dry laugh "So she wasn't lying. Priceless"
I turned and glared at her "So our great alpha has a mate" she said with a smug smirk "A rejected mate, that's why she's so mad at you" she snapped her fingers "I have to say Damon this is just too good for words. The naive unimportant Lux was rejected"
I slammed her back into the wall with my hands on either side of her "Don't EVER say her name again or even mention her" I looked up and down at her with a disgusted look "Not unless you deserve to" I let go "Now go before I tear you to shreds" I heard her leave and took deep breaths to calm myself. Now was not the time to get mad, I needed to see Lux.
I walked to the living room and saw everyone gathered around the couch. I walked to it and everyone automatically made a way for me. I saw Lux on the couch with the pack doctor wrapping her injury.
"how is she?" I asked standing next to a very tense looking Jason.
"He'll tell us when he's done" he answered me coldly "The girl?"
"She won't dare do anything like that again" I told him, he snorted
"Should've killed her" he said
"She's the daughter of my dad's best friend" I explained "believe me I wanted nothing more than to kill her"
"I bet" he said sarcastically. I was about to answer when the doctor came up to us.
"She'll wake up soon but tell her not to move for an hour or two for the injury to heal. I expect she'll be quite uncomfortable"
"Will she be in pain?" I asked worriedly and the doctor nodded
"Not too much but there will be pain. Just don't let her move too much" I nodded and thanked the doctor walking him to the door.
I got back to see all the guys surrounding Lux. All of them with angry expressions. I understood why, Lux had a way of making people feel protective of her. Though she's always strong and can handle herself she's not as tough as she tries to be. And by looking at the way these guys were treating her it was obvious.
"She's got you wrapped around her finger doesn't she?" I thought out loud and all their heads turned to glare at me.
"Not in a bad sense" Jason said and looked back at Lux who now had her head on his lap. "And we wouldn't have it any other way"
We sat there for a while. well actually I sat on one of the chairs while the others just stayed around Lux which was really irritating. But I knew that being the possessive mate wasn't an option now. I made up my mind to get Lux back, and if my plan was going to work I knew that trying to get her away from them wouldn't help in making her love me.
Lux stirred and after a few moments her eyes fluttered open. "J-Jason?" she asked shaking her head "What happened?"
And then as if she remembered she sat straight up and cringed at the pain on the side of her stomach.
"Whoa there" Jason said "Lie back down you'll heal in a few hours" she looked at him in disbelief.
"Lie back down? No way I'm going murder that...that....slut" she said angrily.
"You'll kick her ass later now lie back down" Jason chuckled and she reluctantly did what he said
"But Jason" she whined "I didn't even get to punch her back. I demand a rematch" I chuckled along with the rest and shook my head. I expected her to cry or something not this.
"No Lux. You're lucky you didn't get hurt more than that" he said and Lux raised an eyebrow
"Oh please, that was a low blow even for that over-tanned Barbie doll. We both know that if I knew she would have the guts to attack me I would have caused some serious damage on that plastic face of hers"
"We know Lux but forget it, please?" Chase said and pouted her lips.
"No, not until I kill her" she crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"For us?" The twins asked giving her the puppy dog face
"No fair I only use that face" she said but they didn't answer and kept pouting "Fine I won't kill her. But you owe me cookies and ice-cream"
"Deal" Jason said and started brushing her hair with his fingers. I was holding onto my seat trying my best to control my wolf so I wouldn't go over there and take her away from him.
Lux sniffed and scrunched up her face in disgust "Is she here or something?" she asked
"No why?" I answered her. She looked at me as if realizing I was there for the first time. Her expression turned to anger before she answered through clenched teeth. "that answers it"
"What?" Jason asked.
"Nothing I could just smell her on him" she answered with a shrug but I could see she was tense. "Probably because I had to have a word or two with her about respect" Lux's expression softened.
"Whatever I guess" I suppressed back a smile. As much as she tried to hide it I knew she cared. After all I was her mate, her wolf would naturally want me, now if only I could get Her to.
==================================
Okay a lot of people have been against Ian being Damon so I don't know. I have one other person I can imagine being Damon: Leonardo Corredor. And let's just say the boy is H-O-T. His picture is on the side.
What do you think?
