19: Training
Not a minute after Ark revealed about the fake Prince's identity that my dad showed up with 40 werewolf rookies outside of the mansion. Well I guess he was serious about training but I can't understand why I had to train with these weaklings. What pissed me off though was when dad borrowed Ark for a talk without me. I mean, I was the husband, I was the lover, and I was the other half so why can't I join them? I wanted to throw a tantrum and smash Kade's balls in anger even if he was not in fault; however, my sweet mate left me a kiss that made me shut up. Dad showed up a half hour later without my mate and it made my blood boil.
"Where's Ark?" I asked him in a pissed off tone. Dad rolled his eyes.
"He went to a nude college fun run to declare his love for Steve Harvey."
I smashed my fist on the coffee table in front of me making all of the rookies around me freeze in fear. Yes, they were in my territory so they have to show me some respect. My wolf was ready to shred anyone who dared steal Ark from me. "What? Who the hell is Steve Harvey?!"
"You really live under a rock Alpha," Kade scoffed.
I gave him a glare making him gulp. "And you will live under a rock if you don't tell me who this Steve Harvey is!"
Dad patted my back and sighed.
"You need to relax son, I was only joking. Ark is fixing something up, he'll catch up later."
I was still fuming and my wolf was restless knowing that our mate was not by our side but nonetheless, I let dad lead us to the path behind the mansion just beyond the venue of my marriage. It was a path where even I was not allowed to go to and only those veteran werewolf warriors were allowed to pass. He led us deeper and deeper into the forest and we ended up in a very huge area surrounded by trees.
There were two pack warriors guarding the area. They bowed to my dad and let us pass through. I gazed upon a huge tree in the middle of the area. Its branches stretched to cover the place with its leaves. It just gave you that ancient old feeling shit.
"That's a nice tree...makes me want to make babies with our mate," Cerberus stated.
"How the fuck is that possible?" I spat at my sex crazed wolf.
Dad placed two fingers in his mouth and whistled. "Line up rookies, ten people in each row go!"
I grumbled under my breath. Kade and I joined the very first row and my eyes wandered around in search of my mate. "Damn, this is exciting..." Kade whispered to me. Dad stood in front of us with the other two pack warriors as his backup dancers.
Wait...
Back up dancers?
"Pffff! Your brain is really messed up. Did you really just imagine now that your dad is dancing Macarena?"
"Oh shut the fuck up."
"As you all now, witches now have the balls to enter our area frequently with the help of red wolves and because of that we need more warriors to defend our turf."
A nerd guy who stood beside me raised his hand. Oh this was Rogers. I know him. He was a know it all guy that made me want to strangle him. It was a good thing that we had no class together this year."Uh sir?"
"Yes Rogers?"
"I was wondering if you have reported that to the higher ups or to the King and Queen of the Glazier pack?" he asked.
Dad nodded. "We took careful methods on that matter. We didn't report that immediately since it will start some trouble and of course...we had a complicated situation concerning the Prince of the Glazier pack. We are going to start your training not only to defend our area but also, to prepare for an irresolute war."
I could hear gasps and whispers from the rookies. Another person raised his arm. "But I thought that the war is already settled since the Prince of the Glazier pack and the Prince of the Fiery pack will get married?"
Rogers scoffed. "Well seeing that the Prince of the Glazier pack looks fucked up I think that the Fiery Prince will step down from the marriage."
I growled low in my throat. Kade looked at me with concern.
"Alpha?"
Rogers continued with his babbling. My intent to take his life was increasing. "He only had looks anyway. All of his heroic acts are just for show. He is a nut job now; he is acting like a wild animal when the search team found him. I bet he was whoring around-"
I grabbed his collar and crashed my fist on his sorry face. He went flying to the other side of the field with a bloody nose and broken glasses.
"Luka!" Dad growled.
I dashed towards Roger's body and took hold of his black greasy hair. "You don't know shit about him! I swear that I won't only pop every pimple on your face but I will also pop every bone from your body!"
Roger's eyes glowed yellow; he took a deep breath and screamed like a freaking bat. It sent waves and waves of sound blowing me away. All of the people covered their ears including me until Roger's stopped. I figured that that was his special power. Fuck, even he already had one. Don't tell me that all of these rookies had their special power already that was so unfair! What was mine?
"Don't act so superior! You are not the leader yet of this pack, hell, you don't even have a luna yet!"
Kade started laughing. "I guess Alpha is not the only one living under a rock."
"Enough!" Dad growled. His eyes glowed red. "It would seem that we need a meeting which includes all of the pack members. I made a mistake for keeping the information about the Prince and the situation to most of you. Rogers, go back in line and Luka...calm your balls, it's going berserk.. "Dad sighed. "I am surprised that news hasn't spread when Luka exposed the Prince at the mall."
Rogers scoffed again. I just wanna choke him. "We won't believe rumors when we clearly see the Prince on television."
I scowled. I can now understand fully what my mate was talking about. People easily believe what the media says and with every wrong image or move he will project...the media will be there to destroy him. I just want to hug Ark right now.
"Honestly Rogers, I want to choke you!" Dad spat.
"I love you daddy!" Cerberus howled.
Dad clapped his hands to gain our attention. I feel like I'm with 1st graders. "Listen up and I don't want any hand rising while I talk. All of you who do not want to fight for our pack and for the Royal family we serve are allowed to go but...You will all be considered as rogues from now on."
Everyone stood in place in fear of being a rogue.
"Now, for those who will stay...I will be your instructor and I would like you all to meet the other person who will join me to enhance your skills..."
A lot of people gasp, including Kade. "Will you stop gasping?! Honestly, do all of you have asthma?!" dad asked. I could see a vein popping in his forehead from stress.
I looked at the entrance and saw my gorgeous mate wearing a brown leather armor that covered his shoulders and torso. He had a blue long sleeved shirt and matching blue pants and he also wore some brown leather boots. He looked ready for action. Damn, he looked so beautiful. Ark stood beside my dad and I heard Roger mutter "whore" under his breath. I could see a hint of pain in Ark's eyes but it clearly went away as he put up a serious mask.
"Goddess, give me strength to keep myself from biting his face off!" Cerberus growled.
"I know that all of you are baffled but explanations will be done later. For now, let me help you in improving your special powers and fighting skills," Ark stated.
"Can I have your autograph?" a guy from behind me asked.
Ark gave the guy a 100 watt smile making my heart swell in jealousy. "Okay, maybe later."
"Kid, here's the plan, when the guy gets the autograph, we'll attack him and steal it."
"Why the hell do we need to steal an autograph from my husband?" I asked in disbelief.
Rogers raised his hand again. Fuck! Ark seemed to know my thirst for blood so he smiled at me and mouthed 'it's okay'. "Excuse me your highness."
"Yes?"
"I don't believe that you have the capability to train us; I want someone else!"
"Oh fuck off Rogers!" another rookie growled.
"Oh c'mon! Did you see him on television? He is demented!" Rogers defended.
"Mister Rogers, I understand your distrust. Tell you what, I will leave my place as an instructor and I will hand it down to you if you can defeat me in a battle."
Rogers looked like a gaping fish before his expression turned into a determined one. "Fine!" he snarled. A warrior gave Rogers an armor and all of us went to the side to make space for the battle. Ark stretched his body gracefully. He looked relaxed as he watched Rogers wear his armor.
"Beat him into a pulp Prince!" Kade cheered and some guys cheered with him. Ark placed a finger in front of his lips to silence them. My mate gave the pissed off Rogers an apologetic smile.
"Sorry about that, don't mind them and just relax," he stated.
"I will never take any advice from you so shut up!" Rogers hissed.
I attempted to stand up to attack him but dad blocked my view so I was facing his ass. "Stay Luka, let his highness do the work. Trust me, you'll be amazed."
I grumbled under my breath and sat back. I guess this was my chance to see my mate in live action. "Dad, move your ass," I muttered and shoved him to the side.
Ark taunted Rogers with his index finger. "Attack me whenever you're ready."
Rogers' eyes glowed. "I'm ready!" he growled. He moved his skinny body and charged Ark ahead. He threw punches and kicks and Ark only dodged his assaults. Rogers jumped and swung his leg to knee Ark's head and my mate squatted and did a back flip to avoid Roger's incoming downward punch.
I was awed at how good Ark was when it came to fighting. His movements were all calculated and you could see how experienced he was. Well seeing that he went to join the war at an early age I won't be surprised that he would be this good. I only started fighting in a battle when I was fifteen years old.
"Is that all you can do?" Ark teased making Rogers growl. He took a deep breath and screamed just like before but it was cut short when Ark's heterochromatic eyes both glowed blue and froze Rogers' whole being. His mouth was still wide opened with his eyes moving side to side in confusion. Silence ruled the field and I felt so proud of my mate. Ark faced us all and narrowed his eyes.
"Lesson number one is always keep a cool head. Werewolves are naturally hot-headed so if you are able to keep a cool head in battle, you always have the upper hand. A tip to all of you; always remember to not let a werewolf who has the ability to freeze you to death catch you standing still, " he stated.
He snapped his fingers and Rogers got defrosted. His whole body fell on the grass in a wet mess as he shivered and shook in the cold. He cast his gaze into the poor being laying on the ground.
"Now, would anyone else try to take away my place as an instructor?"
"Our mate is so sexy..." Cerberus purred.
"Don't tell me you were only fixated on his ass while he was fighting..." I sighed.
Dad called everyone out to line up again. A pack warrior helped Rogers fix himself up but with the possibility of him getting pneumonia, I don't think he can join us today.
Suited the asshole right...
I stood up from the spot I was sitting on only to be embraced by my adorable Ark. "Hi Luka," he mumbled. I returned the hug and kissed his forehead.
"You were amazing, Ark," I complemented.
Ark looked at me with excitement. "Thank you! Hey Luka guess what!"
I chuckled. "What?"
Ark grinned. "Since you will be the next leader of this pack, you will have special training. "
"Special training with who?" I asked. I got a bad feeling about this. Ark pecked my lips.
"With me! Be prepared though, I won't go easy on you!" he giggled cutely. He was deadly cute. Oh God, I can tell that Ark will be a pain in the ass as an instructor.
Cerberus moaned. "Oh goddess, teacher Ark makes me hornyyy!"
"Hump a wall moron!"
