Hey Angels :)

ITS BEEN REALLY LONG TIME. I AM SO SORRY I DISAPPEARED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. I REALLY APOLOGIZE.

So, I moved to Canada and it was so much hassle and still is that I do not get time to write. I will get sometime in December though where I plan to update more.

This chapter is approx 10.5k and it took me 3 months to write parts of it. I apologize for any mistakes or laps in between  because I did not proof read it and I just wanted to post something so I broke the chapter into two parts.

I am not happy with this chapter as it was written too hastily but I hope you guys enjoy it.

AND OUR LARENTS ARE FEEDING US SO WELL WITH ALL THE LARRY CONTENT.

Enjoy

************

The next morning definitely brought new things. For starters, pain and fatigue.

Harry made me wake up at 4:30 in the morning. To say I was angry and cranky was an understatement. I thought training will start at like 8 or 9 am and till then I can sleep but I was mistaken.

The sourness of getting up early was washed out by Harry's sweet kisses and talk. He even cuddled me for like 5 minutes but in that moment it was enough. If anybody had put an alarm and made me get up by shouting then I would have shouted and thrown pillows at them. So this was better, way better for me. But still that does not mean I was fan of getting up that early and that too after sleeping so late the last night. Harry is to blame for that, I thought childishly.

Yesterday after we talked I was more firm about my plan that was brewing since we left from Solum Silvam. I will just have to wait for the right time to tell others and put it in action.

Right now I was panting like a dog, salivating profusely with sweaty body and disheveled smelly hair. Every bone and tendons on my body ached like I had broken them and to say about my pounding headache. It was too much. Sweat was dripping down in rivulets some landing on my eye lashes and then making my eyes burn and vision blurry. At one moment I wanted to sneak out and have some rest. My throat felt parched and sore. All in all, I felt disastrous.

When we got up and met others downstairs in the front garden to discuss our activities and schedule, I saw everyone was awake and happy to see us very contrary to what they were objecting just yesterday. All our parents and Alphas were perfectly awake and looked energetic ready to start the day while we four who were supposed to start the training looked like a train ran over us.

I saw Niall and Zayn were heavily leaning on each other swaying a bit with eyes half closed while Cederic sat down on the grass folding his legs and supporting his head on his palm. Me ? I was leaning on the pillar with my head totally supported on it and kept on yawning which made my cheeks hurt. I saw with my half closed lids at others. Four new well built man and woman were standing and discussing things with Harry and others.

We had just brushed our teeth and had some milk to keep up the energy. Harry was gesturing something and making some hand moves maybe illustrating something. Josh and Liam were discussing something amongst themselves and as always Dragomir was standing rigid like stone holding some book and keeping an eye on what others were talking. Our parents were beaming at us eith enthusiasm which we definitely lacked. I did not want to whine like a baby but I was doing just that internally.

“ Tommo, can we like start this from tomorrow ? I am knackered. ”

Niall whined beside me to which others nodded.

“ I too feel the same. But if we back down now then they will be sure that we are not capable of fighting and we will dig our own holes of not getting involved in their stuff. ”

I was myself surprised about how my brain had ability to be this rational at this time when the other part of me wanted to hide under the covers and cuddle with Harry and just sleep while he places small and languid kisses on my neck and face.

Mmm ! It sounded so goooood !

“ Lou, stop making that face. Keep that for bedroom and Harry. We don't wanna think what you are dreaming about.”

Zayn said mocking me which made other two snicker and me to suddenly open my eyes widely and turned a bit pink. I blinked and again yawned and tried to stretch my limbs.

“ Stop that too. You even know how to stretch properly in case of exercise ? You are lucky you did not pull any muscle.”

Now Cedric said and I felt abashed immediately halting whatever I was doing. They were right actually. What was I even doing ?

“ What is this day, huh ? Let's embarrass Louis day ? I am not talking now. ”

And then I was pulled down and snuggled into warm heat. I realized Cedric had pulled us and we all four were sitting leaning and cuddling each other. It was warm and comfy.

This can work as well !

“Ooo' Look at ' em ! Our babies look so cute ! ”

I heard someone utter and felt something lingering on my head. So I slowly opened my eyes and blinked to see all the ladies hovering above us and cooing. Others too disgruntled shushed them and slowly awoke.

“ LOUIS ! NIALL ! ZAYN ! CEDERIC ! GET UP ”

And then Dad's voice boomed loudly making us look like ants scrambling and trying to get into their place. We immediately stood up stumbling a bit and stood properly in a line any trace of sleep gone instantly. And then he smiled at us lovingly and replied.

“ Great ! Good Luck, children. Have fun ! ”

Then he winked and our parents left us there with our four Alphas and other four unknown people. Harry came forward and started making introduction and we were already alert now. It started !

“ Guys ! Good Morning. This will be your daily time to meet your instructors here. At 5 am sharp. We have your training program already planned and they will train you accordingly. Do not try to sneak out or anything. Oh..one more thing, if you get even 1 minute late, you are out of the lesson for that day and will be punished. Be punctual and try your hardest. We will examine your results and progress in one week. Till then...Good Luck ! "

With that said Harry suddenly took a step too closer to me and looked down. I stared at his eyes and then he leaned down kissing my neck and nipping it a bit. He withdrew giving me a sweet peck on the lips. I was baffled at his sudden actions not able to respond quickly as I was little drunk on his scent. He lifted his hand and fixed my fringe gently. I smiled at him and he left the place with his grin settled on his face.

” Awwww ! Is anyone else spitting rainbows and candies ??? “

Niall said making fake gagging noises and Zayn and Cedric too joined laughing at us. I swatted at them blushing again. Ugh ! Sometimes I hate this !!

But then Liam was right there in front of Niall looking firm and smug about what he was gonna do. Everything stopped and we just watched silently. Liam leaned down and placed his hand on Niall's cheek rubbing his thumb gently. Niall was glaring at him and was about to shout or something but just then Liam stepped closer and hugged him tightly. Niall started thrashing a bit but Liam smiled and kissed his head lightly and then left whistling leaving Niall flabbergasted.

Oh Boy !

Niall was standing there looking red with anger or shyness at affection still unknown but personally I think it was 87% latter.

Next stepped forward Josh and smirked at Zayn and all of us in extension.

” So..Shorties, looking at you now I feel so sorry. I mean glance at yourself. Tired and sleepy and small. “

” Ha ha ha, it was so funny. I am laughing rolling on the floor, Jo. Oh..and look at that giant mountain. Oops ! Sorry, it is you. “

Zayn said smiling smugly at him but his grin wavered as Josh came closer and kissed him lightly on the cheek winking. He also hugged Cedric and kissed his head wishing his little brother Good luck.

Dragomir looked out of place looking at the exchange and then Zayn and Niall decided to pull his leg.

” Dragomir, don't tell me now you will kiss Cedric here and wish him Good Luck. He is the only one left. “

” I just hope you will survive the aftermath of that. Its ugly when Ceddie gets angry. “

They both snickered but the only reaction we got was clenching of jaw tightly by Mr
Dragomir. Nonetheless he stepped forward but kept a distance between us although he was standing directly in front of Cedric.

” If I even kiss him then it's not anybody's business. Also, these are your instructors. Don't get too friendly. “

With that said not looking at anybody and with frowning Josh they both left with Josh trying to talk to Dragomir and the latter almost leaping the air to get away from him.

We all were stunned at what he said and looked sideways at Cedric who was looking down and making circles with his feet on the lawn. Zayn nudged him to which he returned very enthusiastically making us all stumble when a cough broke our own silent conversation.

” Hello Guys ! Welcome to the new start. I am David and the head in charge of this training program. These are my colleagues who will teach you the perfect strategies and combat moves in case of any danger or casualties. They are Rob, Lauren and Irina. Now please introduce yourselves formally to us.“

With that said we started our introduction and I was in dilemma whether to let them know about me being Harry's husband because if I mention Styles as my last name then they will definitely get the idea as they saw our affectionate exchange minutes prior. And if I say Tomlinson then maybe it will be an offense or something. I was lost in my musings when someone coughed loudly and an elbow hit my side. I blinked out of my reverie and replied.

” I-I am Louis. “

So Yeah ! I just went with Louis.

” Good Morning guys. First we will start with the basics and gradually we will move towards the actual fighting strategies. Also, as Your Highness had instructed you each will get one personal instructor who will keep your records and study your profile. I will be with Cedric. Rob is assigned for Zayn. Lauren with Niall and Irina with Louis. Sometimes the instructors will be switched to test your skills and patterns of fighting. Any questions ? “

We all shook our head in negation because he was very clear with what he said, firm, stern yet gentle in explaining. I can totally see why Harry made him the head in charge. All the four instructors were tall and muscular. David and Rob were the tallest around 5'11 while Lauren and Irina were slightly shorter with approximately 5'9 . Conclusion, they were very taller than all of us. We looked measely and lanky in their presence and to say we will have to fight them at one point...Oh Boy !

” Today we will run laps for 2 hours straight and then move to some basic stretching exercises. Also at the end we will provide you some diet chart. It is compulsory to follow that. Your weight will be noted down and we will know if you eat anything other than what is stated in the chart. “

” Pfff ! What is this ? Some Army camp ? I am loosing interest already. “

Niall whispered to Cedric who looked equally disappointed and sad at the prospect of not getting their beloved food.

” Me too, NiNi. But we will eat everything we like today and then from tomorrow we will start that diet plan.“

Cedric replied with a wink and they both thought they were subtle but the instructors definitely heard their exchange and that light hand shake they side on the side.

Poor them !

I was almost ecstatic because I thought this will be the best time to loose weight and the protruding tummy I have. I can get into proper and perfect shape and can look beautiful. The thought gave me more enthusiasm and I decided to work extra so my fat gets burned early and then I can wear clothes which I really like without being conscious about my body. I got the flashes of chocolate and cookies and ice cream but I blinked that away thinking about the soon to be slim body I will be rewarded with if I sacrifice my likes and exercise..

” Your family members will also have the same list of diet and they will only provide you accordingly as it can be hard to resist the cravings at first. Sorry guys ! It has to be done. It will help you to train better. “

”WHAT THE ???!!! “

”-FUDGE ???!!!!!“

Niall and Cedric exclaimed loudly looking horrified at the idea with Pumpkin even glaring at David sideways. The latter just raised his eyebrows questioningly at them and they quickly apologised.

And then started two hours of hell !

Two instructors ahead, we four in the middle and the other two behind us, in that position we started running laps around the huge lake which actually had wide perimeter. By the end of 4th lap my head started hurting, my stomach churned, my feet ached, and my throat was parched. And it was just one hour past. We still had to do run for another one hour and then exercise.

I am definietly dying  !

Buckets full sweat was dripping down my whole body and as we still continued to run my feet started stumbling. I was loosing balance occasionally whose frequency started increasing. My vision was starting to get blurry due to sweat drops dangling from my eyelashes. I was panting like a rabid dog sometimes drooling which I rubbed quickly with the handkerchief which I was clutching in my hand. It was completely wet and dirty by then.

And then it happened ! The thing I knew will happen definitely at one point ! I fell !

I fell face first on the ground but my face was saved due to my body's reflex action. I turned sideways and what first came to my mind was that I got a little break rather than thinking about the stinking pain in my elbows and palms. Immediately Irina was hovering over me looking concerned and then gave me a hand to help me up. I stood wobbly on my legs and saw others were still running with Rob barking orders of not stopping to look at me.

Zayn looked ready to faint and most stricking thing his hair were totally bird's nest and he was tossing it aside haphazardly himself. His mouth was opened panting and he sometimes ran slanting than the original path and then Rob will guide him inside further. Very very surprisingly, Niall and Cedric looked better than us. They looked tired and knackered but their faces still had some strength and glow as if they can still run..Pumpkin said something to Cedric to which the latter replied with a little shove followed by a scolding to both of them by Lauren.

” Louis ! Start running. We still have 10 minutes left. “

WHAT ????

” Umm...its just 10 minu-“

And she gave me a look which immediately shup me up and like a wobbly pig I started running. And now my palms were burning and I felt like crying. I felt tears already streaming down on my face as i felt my whole body ached. But I quickly wiped them thinking about all the pros of this training. And by that time a whistle was blown indicating the end of running laps.

Me and Zayn immediately sat heavily wherever we were standing while Pumpkin and Ced slowly sat wincing and groaning. My head was roaming in circles and my body felt hot.

Ugh ! Why was this such a good idea ??

” You will get 5 minutes break now. And after that we will meet in your front garden. Don't be late.“

Irina said and they four left us there sitting against each other on the ground.

” 5 minutes ? 5 MINUTES ? “

Zayn looked shocked at the break timing and glared at the direction where they went. I too felt the same but what can we do ?!

” I second that but- but they know better. We cannot back down now. By the way, how come you both does not look like on the verge of dying after all this ? “

I said looking at Niall and Ced who were lying on the ground not caring about dirt or getting debris in their hair.

” Honestly, I am dying inside. My bones are cracking and I feel the involuntary muscular spams taking place in my body as the Na+ channels open up to create active transport of ions which gets the Na+K+ pump - “

” - WE Get it, Ced. Take deep breaths, man. “

Zayn interrupted. Pumpkin and Ced stood dusting their sweatpants and lend us a hand for support. We reached the front garden and found all four of them looking at us with a scolding look.

” You are 30 seconds late. After completion of today's schedule you will run half lap again. “

” Wait ! Half lap but we will have to run whole to get back here. That's whole one more lap. “

”Smart ! Exactly what I meant. “

Irina replied to me giving me a grin. I looked at her in disbelief which others groaned.

” As we are already late and we have to our punishment then can we get extra 5 minutes and that you can count in being late. “

Pumpkin suggested looking thoughtfully. Rob replied now.

” For every 30 seconds late, one lap. Want me to add up the seconds and then re-phrase the  number of laps ? “

” That's unfair. “

” Life is not fair, honey. “

Lauren replied standing in front of Niall who looked dejected at the failure of his plan. Luckily we got time to drink water slowly and it felt like life was put back in my body. Every droplet of water soothed by throat and nerves. I felt hydrated and a little better. Also, the wind was blowing making us feel cool as we were drenched in sweat. The sweet aroma of flowers was tickling the nostrils and the sound of birds chirping felt soothing someway.

I saw four of them arrange rods at some distance on the ground and each one stood in front of that. I was getting little idea as to what they will ask us to do.

” As you can see there are rods placed on the ground. Your work is to run from one end to other and when we say jump you do just that on the other side of rod. Gradually the frequency will increase. Also, keep your eyes and ears perfectly open to listen what we say. Take your positions.“

And it was another one hour of the same. Run, run and jump. It continued and I missed some of the jumps or stumbled on the rod twice or thrice but I was so proud of myself that at least I was able to go through this whole ordeal without fainting. Pumpkin was now sweating buckets and was swearing while Zayn and Ced looked ready to sleep there.

” C'mon on ! Time for your punishment lap. “

”FUCK NO ! YOU WANT ME TO DIE ? “

That was Niall trying to be stern and taller but I was swaying in real.

” Cutie ! This is for keeping you from dying. Let's start.“

Rob said giving him his best sarcastic smile and Niall glaree daggers at him. Falling and stumbling we completed the last lap and by that time my ass and legs hurt like hell. It was sickening how I looked and I realized that everything apart we were actually in need of this. If something happened then we were not even capable of running properly for long distance and here we are dealing with supernatural enemies.

At last David gave us our ' diet chart ' which was glared murder by Niall and Ced huffing a bit. We dragged ourselves inside and sat on the ground lying against each other.

” Aww baby ! How was your first day ? “

Ma came and asked us and Niall gave her the dirtiest look ever. He was glaring at her for asking such obvious questions as if they all weren't sneaking from the windows and from the backyard.

” U-uh...I will get your breakfast ready. “

” Chop Chop Boys ! Get showered and come downstairs. “

We decided to go in one room together and turned out we went to Zayn's room. Surprisingly his room had separate section where a fort of blankets was built and pillows were scattered. Cedric tried to go there but Zayn immediately refused us from touching it or going near that and when we asked him the reason he blushed and I was getting some inkling already what was it.

” Um..Its just J-Joshua doesn't like anybody touching our fort. “

” Ooooo ! Our fort ??? What do you play inside ? Prince and Princess ? Or - “

” DO NOT complete that sentence, Niall. “

Zayn looked scandalized while Ced started to go in circles stumbling yet happily laughing at hearing his big brothers antics which he can use against him. I smiled wiggling my eyebrows at him but he went into the bathroom slamming the door.

We took turns for showering. First Zayn, then Ced,followed by me and Niall. But what happened was after each of us showered we decided to lie down on the huge bed while Zayn sat in his ' fort ' because he was allowed and without knowing ourselves we slept like a baby not knowing what was happening around us. We did not even know when we felt asleep or how and where.

-- --

” -uis, Louis ??? Baby ?? Wake up, sweetheart ?“

I heard and turned my face not wanting to wake up this early. I stuffed my face inside something seeking warmth and tried to avoid that voice asking me to wake up.

” 'go awa' big brotha' Lesssts  sleep !  “

I think I heard Zayn slur and then somebody started maybe making little snores.

I heard the door click shut in the distance and returned to my dreamland.

-- --

” Mmmm ! “

I think that was me making sounds and moaning.

” Louis ??“

” Mmm !“

” Are you awake?? “

” Mmm “

” Wanna eat something ? “

” Ughh...Mmmmmmm “

” Its getting weird now “

” Mm HMm “

” LOUIs “

” YES ?  “

I shouted back and slowly opened my eyes. They hurt badly so I closed it at the next moment. I felt darkening and then when I opened it was dark in the room. I was surprised to see that I was in my own room,.covered with blankets, dim yellow lamp glowing and Harry cuddling me on our bed. I yawned and tried to stretch when I felt it.

” N-ughhhh “

Excruciating pain !

My whole body felt rigid and my head still hurt badly. I was not able to move and I felt my body hot. Exhaustion was hitting me like tones of bricks altogether rupturing my veins and tendons with pain.

” Ow ow ! Hurts ! Harryyyy....“

” Shh shh ! I am here. I will help you. “

And he did !

He got up first, arranged all the pillows and then gradually and gently lifted me up to make me sit properly. I sighed and leaned on his chest with him softly caressing my hair. I realized that I was wearing an oversized jumper and panties which I had not wore after I showered today. Maybe the question was reflected on  my face as Harry answered.

” I changed your clothes. This will be more comfy and I know you love this type of clothes when you are tired. “

” Oh ! T-thank you. “

I said blushing fiddling the hem of covers and fidgeting.

” What time is it ? “

” Its 7: 17 PM “

” What ? Evening ??? I slept whole day ???“

” Not just you. Zayn , Ced and Niall too. “

Suddenly I started thinking about what Harry will think of me. I was so weak and out of shape that on the first day itself I was exhausted and slept off the whole day. I was  ot strong enough and basically Queen of any nation is so strong and versatile and there's me, the weakest Luna probably.

”Hey, stop that ! You are not weak. You did so great for the first day. We weren't sure if you will complete the whole task but you did. In fact all of you did great. You never had to do such things in the past and now seeing you are facing this challenge is spectacular. Don't put yourself down. Now, wanna eat something  ? “

And just like that very casually yet with simplicity and honesty Harry broached the very deep ans difficult subject making my insecurities calm down and my heart soar. Harry is just something else ! An ethereal being walking on earth and it should be us to feel blessed that he exists. My eyes watered a bit but then I sniffled and answered the awaiting question of Harry.

” Yes. I am famished. “

Then he closed his eyes for few seconds and then smiled at me.

” Dinner will be here in 10 minutes max. Also, Mamma Jay wants to meet you and Niall, Ced and Zayn are awake now and eating. Though the former two threw a fit about what they wanted to eat after having such hard working day. “

I chuckled because that was expected and asked him timidly.

” Did you mind communicate ?? “

” Yes. With Mom. Why ?? “

” Um..Harry why can't we.communicate like that ? Do that need some practice ? “

” Well..we werewolves have that ability inbuilt so any new born baby is born with the gift. We don't practice but looking at the four of you, occasionally Zayn, I am not sure. We can try to practice that everyday. Maybe it will help enhance your skills. “

” Yeah, that would be great.. We will practice that every night. “

I snuggled more into his naked chest and sighed as his scent and presence were calming balm to me.. Just then a knock was heard and in came Mom and Mommy holding  tray full of food and fruits.

” My dear ones ! Your Prince finally gave you a kiss, sleeping beauty ?? “

Mom said winking at me making my cheeks dust pink. Mommy swatted at Mom laughingly along. They put the tray in front of us and I saw it was chicken noodle soup along with mashed potatoes and cheese. Me and Harry both gave them a look but they smiled sheepishly.

” Just for today. You did not say that they will be on planned diet. Its your fault, Harry. They are already so fragile and soft and small. “

” Hey ! I am not fragile or small. “

I protested which fell to deaf ears and Mommy quickly cut me off saying

” Don't lie about obvious things, Boo. “

I glared at his ignorance but nonetheless started eating because I was hungry like a dinosaur. I stuffed my mouth with cheese  because  I love cheese and I wanted to eat it before they decide to follow that stupid rule.

Now I knew what Niall and Ced felt before! Sorry Guys !

But then I felt guilty because how can I be so careless and weak minded to give in to cravings of delicious fatty food. I wanted to get slim and this was not helping. My internal debate came to an end when suddenly both Moms looked uncomfortable and fumbled over questions which they wanted to ask us.

” Mom ? Calm down ! Say it directly, okay ? It's just me. “

Harry said to Mamma Anne who looked at Mommy hesitantly.

” Harry, did - did you mate with Louis on your first night ?? “

And I choked on my cheese looking wide eyed at them. A coughing fit followed making my eyes water a nd Harry immediately rubbed my back trying to sooth me.

” MOM ! W-what kinda question is that ?? “

I looked at my plate embarrassed at having such intimate conversation. Also thinking about mating made my heart race widly.

Oh Shit ! They can hear it !

” See Harry, we are sure you did not mate him. You did not mark him with mating mark. We are your mothers, don't lie to us. “

Harry stiffened and his eyes were dark green reflecting storm. He frowned and answered.

” Why are you so sure about that ?“

Both Moms looked at each other exchanging an understanding look and then Mommy replied.

” We are omegas ourselves. We are more sensitive and receptive of emotions. We have seen how mated couples react and what are the immediate changes that happen after mating ceremony is completed. You both act like a couple, a destined couple more so, but we noticed some markers which were not present. And honestly, the biggest giveaway was the position change of mating mark. The first mark never disappears unless the bond is broken and then too it takes time to fully diminish. So please tell us the whole truth. “

My eyes widened and my hands were clammy hearing what they explained. We actually missed the main part of facade in all the other mess. I did not know what I felt. But I definitely knew that I was not ready to go all the way sexually. I still had my doubts and insecurities which were running very deep and with all these lingering secrets right now I don't want to consummate. I want to wait for the moment when I will feel it in my soul and heart that I want to get one with Harry physically. It can happen tomorrow or weeks after or even after  months. I was happy with whatever we had going on.

I knew we shared very passionate kisses and some bedroom activities and they were enough for now..I did not want to rush into the big 'S' part because for me it is the union of body, soul, mind and heart. I want to be thousand percent sure when I take that step and right now I am not even confident in my own body and ability. I am confused and uncertain. Also, I want to explore our relationship without making love first. I always felt like being in a sexual relationship with someone can cloud judgement sometimes. People forget why they actually like them or chose them and focus on the sex part.

Having sex is not bad but for me it is all about making love. I cannot let that thing come in between what is blossoming between us. I don't want my mind to submit totally to Harry just because we slept together. I know in my heart that the day when I give him my virginity will change many things and my V card is very very important for me. My every first is Harry and I want this big one to be with him but with peaceful conscience.

One dark side of my mind is also scared that maybe after getting through the whole deed Harry will loose interest in me. I will be just regular guy and I know harry is not that kind of person but I cannot let myself thing everything will be rainbow and flowers when my whole life is turning upside down every next moment. I am scared because I think there will be no going back and this is one of the most important parts of my life. I am sure of one thing that it will be only Harry, forever regardless of making love with him, he will always own my heart, body and mind. But my soul is still churning with insecurities and I want it to settle down in peace before I take the big step.

So yes, if our parents force us to sleep together for some twisted theory then I won't be ready. I cannot do this to Harry and myself. We deserve to take decisions on our own and together about everything that is related to our marriage. This wedlock is a sacred thing for me and I won't taint it with some twisted theories. I have faith in myself and our marriage that whatever threat comes or danger we will face it and dismantle it together. We are strong together and I want that bond to grow even robust before mating.

I don't want it to just be a supernatural gift that mates get when they mark and suddenly they are super attached. It felt so amazing reading in novels but when I am experiencing this whole thing I want to have a special bond with Harry before mating him. I want our mating to make our bond strongest of all but I don't want mating to be the only reason our bond gets stronger. I have my own beliefs and I will not put them in jeopardy. Whatever it takes !

Harry sighed and looked at me. I knew he was asking whether to tell them truth and I nodded because I don't want to lie to then when they already figured out and are damn sure about this. I cannot do that to my mommas.

” You are right. We did not mate. I did not mark him. “

Both the ladies looked stricken even though they knew the truth or rather had almost 90% surity and almost whisper shouted 

” WHAT ? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT ?“

Mommy asked more to me than Harry and I knew she expected me to be goody little shoes and do whatever they say because they think I will be easy to bend. It was saddening to think that they thought I will be easy to manipulate but more importantly they thought to manipulate their own kids.

I felt my throat clogging and I hate that even though I have string of answers right now I was not able to speak. My mind was clouded by hurt and all I was able to focus on was how they can demand such answers as if i had committed some kind of crime. Gathering courage from Harry's presence I spoke almost without stuttering.

” Y-you cannot force me for something we are not ready for. That between me and Harry. Sorry Mommy. “

” Louis ! I need proper answers. You lied to us. “

” Mama Jay, with all due respec please do not shout at Louis like that. He has done  nothing wrong. And please Moms, let's not talk about lies right now. “

Harry said and immediately wrapped his arm around my wait and at that time I realized how much I was shaking. This turn of events were something so unexpected and shocking.

” Harry, please son, try to understand. This is for his safety and everyone related to him. You have to mate him. Please.“

Mom said desperately in a scared tone and it felt like she wanted to rant about something but she was trying to be very subtle about the real matter.

” What is this you are talking about, Mom ? My safety ? From who ? And what do I have that they want ? “

I asked frowning because this was getting complicated pretty sooner more than it already was. I wanted to know who is this faceless unknown threat who wants me for.god knows what. These elders definitely have something up their sleeve regarding this whole mating thing.

” I- we..I-if you don't consummate then, uh...“

”Then what Mom ??? Please tell me what are you hiding. If it is involving mu safety and the people close to me then I need to know, I deserve to know.“

”And being the King and Luna, we have right to know whatever is hidden in that head of yours.“

Harry added a little authoritatively. I was looking at then with pleading eyed because I have to know the reason for something that are so scared and adamant that I and Harry should consummate our marriage and mate. They sighed defeatedly and Mommy said.

” Your father will be so mad after this. Louis, you are very special not just as a human or our boy but supernaturally. You still haven't shown any signs of completely turning into werewolves. And we still don't know for sure what will you become. I-“

”WHAT ??? MOMMY ! What will I become means what ? “

I was on the verge of fully freaking out. Harry pushed his hand inside my jumper and started rubbing soothing circles on my bare skin immediately bringing some ground to my wavering thoughts.

” What do you mean, Mama Jay..?“

Yet again the both ladies exchanged looks but this time they looked regretful and guilty. But then Mom continued.

” Here goes nothing. Our Alphas will be so unhappy and furious about this but..but we cannot just sit and I-I...The point is Louis can be either a very slow bloomer or-or he maybe can turn out as something completely different. Jay and Mark are werewolves so Louis must have supernatural powers so time can only tell what will he turn into or will be in lingo between both forms, I am sorry Louis. But this time is critical. It is believed that if someone marries and mates with such person than he can achieve powers that are not even heard of. So if Harry does not mate and mark you as his own then you are out for anybody to take and claim. Any species or being can claim you as theirs and try to gain supernatural powers that has no bounds because never in the history this has happened but it is just talked about. That doesn't mean its myth because it is as true as we are, a supernatural existence among humans.“

Hearing what Mom explained I felt goosebumps arise on my skin. I shivered and suddenly felt cold all of a sudden. It was extreme. Excruciatingly painful to think that others can still have me even if I married Harry. I do not want to be anybody else's. I said those vows with complete honesty and utter faith. And to think that I can be somewhat resembling to hybrid is disturbing. How can this be even possible ? I am an average guy. I cannot ne something called the resource or bridge to endless power supply. I really really hope that I am just a late bloomer and nothing special. I dont want to be special in that way. This is already taking a toll on me and now to think that other species from which I haven't met all can be after me is giving me headache.

While I was lost in my thoughts I did not pay more attention to my husband sitting beside me . But I was brought back from my musings by his loud growl which I was sure was heard by all. His eyes started flashing golden and green while both Moms looked little worried.

” You are saying that he can be mate to anyone? Is that what you are implying?"

Harry said in strained voice gritting his teeth glaring at them. His grip on my waist was tightened and I already felt burning of forming marks on my skin.

“ Harry, dear, he can be true mate to any leader who claims him first ?? ”

“ NO ! HE IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I AM HIS HUSBAND AND I-I L-......”

His sudden yelling and simultaneous growling made us shocked. His eyes were now flashing red which I had never seen before and he actually looked scary. At that moment he looked the rightful Werewolf King, adorned with power and rage. A furious beauty.

“ W-we discovered this few days back and that is when we decided to forcefully make him marry. We chose you because we- we had our reasons and of course ! we thought now that he is married and claimed by you nothing bad will happen. But then the appearance of demonic humans stirred doubts and we both were sure that you both were not mated. Louis, this is why we made you marry and wanted to be claimed by Harry. ”

I was shaking and speechless. I did not even know what to say to all that they were throwing at me. The revelations about my wedding which I was dying to know but now I felt like I did not want the truths anymore. And before I can say anything the door of our room opened and in came our dads. They looked furious and glaree at Mom and Mommy. But right then Harry stood taller and was in front of them glaring then down. It looked frightening to watch their staring as it looked intense and as if they will start ripping each other with their bare teeth.

“Care to explain why did you hide such important matter from me, your son and your King ? ”

Oh Shit ! Harry had never used this type of tone with anybody.

“ We had our reasons. If I had told you that then maybe you would have asked too many questions and tried to find answers which were not that important at that time. And Louis, he was not even aware of anything. Also, it's not like you two hate each other. We can feel and hear how much you eenjoy being with each other. ”

I turned red from head to toe hearing what Dad said. It was embarrassing and I immediately wanted to run away and hide. They heard us at some time when were involved in our ...uh...passionate activities. They are our parents. Oh My God ! I really wanted to become invisible when Harry reacted as if he it was nothing and started saying.

“Yes , we do things in the confines of our bedroom but that is not the concern here. What if we would have hated each other or worse...if we already had someone we...loved. ”

My heart stopped ! Loved ??? Did he love someone already ????

My head stared spinning and I felt dizzy all of a sudden. I had to grab the covers around me from preventing myself to shake. Every scenario was running through my head. And all my insecurities and uncertainties stared surfacing. What if Harry was forced to leave the one he loved and instead marry me ? But then why would he be so loving and affectionate towards me, right ? Maybe, because he is very good person by heart and he thinks now I am his duty and responsibility. But how can the look in his eyes when he glances at me can be fake and forced. Oh God ! All these questions swirling in my mind was making me want to throw up.

“ Dads, we need some privacy right now. Can we carry on this later, more specifically in our council meeting. Good Night. ”

With that said Harry closed the door right at their face and then I realized that Moms were also not present in the room. It was just me and Harry.

At next instance I was being lifted and settled on a lap bringing my head into neck and my hair being caressed.

“ Shh shh...Lou, baby, I am here. I am not leaving. Breathe baby. Breathe for me. Yes..slowly in and out...”

After few minutes I opened my eyes and saw what was actually happening. I was clutching Harry to myself rightly digging my face into his shirt and resting my forehead on his bare chest. My legs were wrapped around him while both of his arms were encircling my waist and his mouth dropped feather like light kisses on my face and anywhere he could reach. It felt nice and warm. His heart was beating normally and his mind was somewhat calm.

“ Lou ? How are you feeling ? ”

“ Mm ? Drained...”

I said almost sleepily because Harry carding his fingers through my hair softly was making me drowsy. And then tomorrow again I have to go for training. The thought of ditching it was very appealing right now but I controlled myself from thinking in that direction.

“ Then just sleep. Tomorrow you'll have to wake up early too. ”

“ Uhh ! Don't remind me, Harry...”

He chuckled and kissed my cheek lightly but then he slowly slide down on the bed leaving me above and wrapped around him. I nuzzled in his chest and realized that he was lost in thoughts. Getting lost in all questions myself I forgot to realize that this must be hard for Harry too. And what if....???

“ Um Harry ? I-I wanted to ask something. ”

He took handful of my hair and lifted my head gently to make me look at him. It was easier said  than done for me.

“ First, calm down. I can hear your heart racing.”

That caused a pink hue to colour my cheeks and I bit my lip refraining myself to smile shyly.

“ D-did you...I mean this marriage...No...uh.. Did youlovesomeonewhenwegotmarried ? Or do you s-still ? ”

Harry frowned and then replied.

“ Louis, I would appreciate if you speak at human speed and not Vampire speed.”

“ Ughh ! Harry, you are werewolf. Don't you have your things ? ”

“ Well, I do have many interesting big things. Wanna see ? ”

He smirked at me as if he said something very clever. I scowled at him not getting what he wanted to show me.

“ What big things ? I was talking about you using your super powers to hear what I rambled.”

Harry sighed and uttered.

“ My sweet little Lou. Please repeat it. If you are nervous then I will close my eyes, okay ? ”

“ I will repeat it. I-I..Did you love someone before we got married or d-do you s-still ? ”

His expression changed and my heart sank. I was preparing myself for hearing him declare his love for somebody else, somebody whose lucky to grab Harry's attention and love. I looked down and started fiddling with my fingers when I heard him ask me.

“ Did you have another man or woman you loved, Louis ?”

HUH ?

Why is he asking me this ? Is he diverting the whole topic on me so he does not have to answer. Oh God !

Then I looked up and saw him frowning deeply and his grip on my waist had tightened. He clutched me towards him leaving me confused.

“ I asked you first. So ? ”

He sighed and closed his eyes. Then he opened and said

“ No Louis, I never loved anyone romantically. There was nobody I wanted to marry. ”

And just like that my heart soared. Harry did not love anyone. He has never been in love. That thought just made me more possessive over him. But then I thought what if he also does not love me ? Sometimes I want to shut my brain and just be in the moment. But the unwanted questions always keep swirling and leaving me confused whether to be happy or worried.

“ O-oh...um ”

That was my intelligent reply.

“ Well..? What about you ? "

He asked with a low growl emanating from his throat making my body vibrate. I giggled at the sensation lightly and replied while tracing patterns on his chest.

” No. I never had anyone in my life....before you. You are the only one. “

With that said I felt myself flip and caged under Harry. He dug his face in my neck and growled while nipping the skin there. The next thing his lips found mine demanding and possessive. It was messy and aggressive. It was relief and happiness. Our tongues battled and soon he won taking over dominance and I happily submitted. His hands grabbed my wrists pining them on either side of my head while he sucked and bit my lip.

I let out a small moan muffled by his own lips sucking my lower lip between his. My back arched making our groins brush. We both let out a groan together at the contact and even though I wanted to continue I was actually tired. Harry must have read my thoughts because gradually the intensity and aggression of kiss lessened to more soft and gentle. At last it was just brushing of lips lightly breathing same air.

I opened my eyes slowly to gaze at the mesmerizing emerald orbs staring at me with a little smirk on his face.

” Your kisses are my addiction. “

He uttered in raspy breaking voice making my whole body shiver and my cheeks to flush. He smiled smoothly fixing my disheveled fringe and then kissed my forehead making my heart flutter in the process.

” Let's sleep. Tomorrow you gotta run, tiger. “

” Ughhhh, don't remind me. I already wanna skip. My legs are hurting and my hands too. And I feel like my body will break into half and I get headache and I pant like a dog and- “

I stopped abruptly realizing that I sounded like a whining child and stupid. I got embarrassed and tried to avert my eyes away from Harry who was watching me with some look in his eyes.

” Lou, you are so cute. “

He said suddenly as if in awe and kissed my cheek again nuzzling there. I hit him lightly on his back and with flaming cheeks kissed him lightly on the lips. He raised his eyebrows making me scowl at him whose effect lessened due to my weak resistance to giggles.

He slid behind me and wrapped his arms around me. He dug his face in my neck and inhaled deeply dropping a gentle kiss on my head. I sighed content and warm in his embrace finally letting myself to sleep.

--

The next morning was pretty much the same and the ones that followed after just had the same routine. We woke up knackered and went to bed half dead. The first week was pretty hard on all of us but then gradually as the days passed we became used to the routine. Now running lapse for 2 hours did not tire us out, running and jumping the rods were getting a little handy. Our instructors were happy with our progress and often praised us.

One thing that became hard as the time passed was our restriction on certain food. With each passing day the food caused more temptations. But even the family members started following our diet plan too so that we won't feel alone and miserable without our favourite food. It touched our heart so much that I felt eyes watering hearing that.

After the completion of 1st week our Alphas were gonna test us but something came up and they were not able to. So we continued our practices as usual. As we progressed, David started introducing new tactics and techniques to defend. He was teaching us more about defense rather than offense. We were confident enough now to know some of the moves to avoid blows.

The gradual development actually made us feel stronger and comfortable to look into the matters that we were about to do after we finish our training. We still had not yet reached the point where we can fight against trained fighters or whatever, we are still a little below average but it made us more confident and comfortable.

The week came when our Alphas were gonna fight with us to speculate our progress and to say I was getting sweaty hands was an understatement. Harry was gonna combat with me, Josh with Cederic, Liam and Zayn, and Dragomir and Niall. We we waiting for them to join us soon in the ground behind the pack house.

” Tommo ! Don't tremble. You gonna do well. They know we aren't at best mark yet. Don't fuss about it and you are basically fighting your husband. That should come easily like you can put all your frustrations and pant up anger in your blows.“

Niall suggested me smiling. I glared at him because he was not helping the situation and-

” We don't fight, Niall. And when we have...uh..disagreement we work it out in our way which...I am sure nobody wants to witness here.“

Harry voiced out looking smug while coming towards me and holding me with his left arm around my waist.

I tried pushing my face in his shoulder as it started turning pink from his answer and because my friends decided it was fun snickering at his comments and wolf whistling to back that up.

I glared at Harry who smiled sheepishly and bent down to place a light kiss on my forehead. My eyes closed immediately and though the kiss lasted barely a second it settled my nerves.

”Don't be nervous. It's just me, okay baby?"

I nodded feeling a bit calm and dug my face into his chest inhaling his sweet yet masculine scent overload with ruggedness.

“Okay guys, let's start our examinations. Two of you will fight in the ring formed in the middle and the first person to give up at the count of ten loses. Remember all the techniques we practiced and don't panic. You all are still learning. All the Best.”

David announced smiley widely which eased us more. To show his gratitude Ced even went and lightly punched David on the shoulder laughing. He and David are good friends and they often chat. We smiled at their antiques but it seemed that Dragomir had some different plans. He marched upto them and commented in stern voice.

“If you are done with all....this, then can we start already?”

He glared at David while Ced glared at him in return. I did not know what was going on between three of them but something kight have happened as David immediately nodded and stood aside looking squirmy.

“Let's start with Harry and Louis.”

Irene announced which was followed by round of claps and very indecent comment made by our own little shy Zayn.

“ Oh no...the sexual tension's gonna kill us all. Try not to get started here. ”

“ZAYN...”

I chastised him embarrassed while others just laughed and Zayn even winked at me. We do not have sexual tension. At all. What the hell was he thinking ?!

Me and Harry went into the ring holding hands and took our position on opposite sides. We waited for the whistle to go off and I immediately started studying his positions and stature at which he was leaning and which side of his was more vulnerable. 

And it started......

As soon as the whistle blew, I leaped sideways successfully avoiding the blow. Adrenaline rushed through me and all the lessons and training started flowing automatically in my brain. Harry smirked at me and I knew that meant the game was on.

Everytime he went to attack I used my defensive moves. I knew he was going a little easy on me otherwise I would have been out in just one second. His blows came from the sides, under the legs which I avoided by jumping and leaping sideways almost knocking down the ring borders.

Before I can comprehend what happened Harry grabbed my waist and lifted me turning me around ready to drop me on the ground. I followed my instincts and latched on his neck trying to free myself. Our bodies collided and again the sparks flew. But this time it was ten folds intense due to all the adrenaline and excitement. It seems that Harry's eyes even kept flashing to his werewolf eyes making my knees go weak but I managed to maintain my composure in the mean time.

I bit his neck hard making him growl and loosen his hands around me in surprise. I took that as opening and kneed him on the side and freed myself. When I was about to run a hand grabbed my ankle and I was face first on the ground with a heavier body encasing mine. Loud breaths and panting which matched mine  was heard right into my ear making goosebumps raise on my skin.

I tried to scramble out of his hold but his hands had my waist grabbed too tightly to even leave marks. Somehow, I managed to turn sideways and then around on my back which also gave him opening to pin my wrists on either side of my head. I tried freeing my legs from underneath him and at last succeeded. I kneed him again and kicked with the other leg whilst biting his hand that encaged me. He yelped at sudden onslaught but his grip never faltered. He was so strong and bulky. I knew I wouldnt be able to cage his body like he did with mine so I used all of my strength to defend myself from his blows and getting out of his hold.

It continued for long, maybe more than half an hour when whistle blew and Harry immediately halted his blows and offense. Relieved, I sat down on the ground panting heavily all sweaty and tired and thirsty. I felt hands lifting me and cradling me into broad chest. I loosely wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on his chest while Harry carried me out of the ring.

I was made to sit on his lap and a glass of water was given which I gulped down hastily causing me to choke once.

“Lou, slowly. Don't gulp it down.”

I heard him say but I was too tired to argue so I just whined and snuggled closer to him breathing normally. All the adrenaline was now wearing off which made my bones and muscles ache. I stuffed my face into his neck and nuzzled inhaling his scent which was prominent there. I sighed as it soothed me further and his hand kept on rubbing my back smoothly.

“ Okay, Love birds. Let's start with the other pair. Be ready, Harry. And Louis...now you need to stand and leave your husband's lap.”

David instructed which made me glare at him from underneath of Harry's chin where I had my head rested.  Grumpily I stood with wobbly knees while Harry supported me with his hands on my waist. 

We moved forward and saw that this time it was Liam and Niall on the ring and now I knew how the pairs had changed. Niall avoided looking at him but Liam had eyes for him only. He looked fond of how Niall was fidgeting and how he had Hello Kitty tights for combat. Typical Niall.

The whsitle blew and all barriers broke down. Liam leaped but Niall was way fast to dodge the attack and slide from underneath his hands and between the legs. I think I saw some kind of sparkle in Liam's eyes and they indulged in their never ending dance of combat.

Niall was fast and fierce. He was offensive unlike me. He attacked and defended at the same time. His brows crunched and jaw tight, he was all engrossed and it looked like he was letting out all his pent up frustration and anger on Liam. Contrastingly, Liam was all calm and not emotionally driven but never to let go of his composure and falter in his blows. He attacked and defended like Niall.

It seemed like their silent agreement where Liam was allowing Niall to let go of his boundaries and break down his walls at least in the combat and Niall was following his lead. Soon though Niall stopped suddenly and his face turned tensed. He closed his eyes and scrunched his eyebrows concentrating on something and then suddenly the ground crackled. We all shook at the onslaught and Liam looked extra alert.

We realized what Niall was doing. He was using his telekinetic abilities. The ground cracked this time and the trees started blowing furiously hitting wind. Liam took the stance while widening his legs and just punched on the ground which made Niall fall down face first on the ground and the atmosphere returned to normal. That only surged Niall to rush and hit without any strategy which gave Liam a clear opening and he lifted him and pinned him on the ground ending the combat.

Everything went silent and nobody moved. Everyone was shocked at what happened but not that surprised. Liam bent down further and said something to Niall. He then stood up lifting Niall with him who seemed drained. We all rushed towards him but there was something in the way Liam reacted that made us stop.

“Let them go. Liam will handle this.”

Harry ordered and he stared down Liam who was emitting little growls unknowingly. He rushed inside in a woosh leaving us all startled. I looked at Harry for explanation and to Zayn and Cederic but he stood there with his jaws clenched and said.

“ Let's continue with the tests and then we can discuss what happened. No news should leave this ground. Am I clear?"

He said looking at our instructors who bowed their heads down in affirmation.

Now it was turn for Zayn and Joshua to combat. God knows what new surprises are in store for us now.
