60. Three on One

Lilith

I stood in front of those training. Marcus, Tate, Percy with their mates who were waiting for instruction. “Let’s run.” One of the girls sighed heavily and leaned into her friend saying. “This again? I swear the Luna is crazy, to have us run so much.” I called her out telling her “If you hate running so much you can push until we are done running one.” She looked so miserable as I told her. “Move, you are going to push. Sucks for you the bags are next.” She sighed as she got down to do her pushups.

Tate was snickering. “Tate you too, Push.” He groaned but he dropped. Percy said to his mate. “We are lucky by the way Lilith is the best at this.” She looked nervous and said to him. “You have to call her Luna now, at least until she tells you otherwise.” I smiled. “Run now!” I shouted and we took off. I was a head of the pack, no surprise there. When I moved to the side to look at those in the pack who were falling behind, I noticed Percy trying to cheer his mate on. I was glad he was there to help her, but I knew I couldn’t treat her differently.

I ran back telling those lagging to push. They did, it had gotten better since the first time I lead them, but they were still out of shape. I got to Percy, and I think her name was Bethany. “Drop.” Percy glared at me. “Percy you too.” He smirked. I knew he wanted to stay with her. It had been a kindness; I knew he could run just fine. I called everyone to a halt and those pushing to stop. “Okay bags, now. Those with fucking sore arms that is too fucking bad, maybe start running in your spare time.” They all moved, and I followed. I went around correcting form and had the other three I knew could fight help too.

One of the younger teenage boys said to me “Luna I want to see you fight them.” He pointed to Marcus, Percy, and Tate. “I mean they are helping and didn’t they train with you, before.” He turned his head looking at the three of them helping various shifters. A kid next to him said “I want to see that; they look like they could take you.” I laughed, really laughed. “Show them, I want the clout.” Kali cheered in my head. I called out to the guys “Tate, Percy, and Marcus.” They all looked at me. “The younger kids want a little show, we are going to fucking fight.” Tate frowned. Percy said “Fucking shit” Marcus he looked nervous. I yelled to those present, “Everyone stop, we are going to have a demonstration of what you could learn to do.” Tate said “No one but you know who can keep up.” I glared.

I knew he was referring to Rob. At least he didn’t say his name. “Form a square.” I said to everyone and they moved. As they closed around the four of us Marcus asked “Lilith can we at least fight you all together?” I stared at him and shrugged. “I don’t give a shit.” Percy looked a little more hopeful. I had kicked all there asses at the gym many times over the years and I have fought more than the three of them at a time. I grinned at them as they stood in a line. “A bunch of pussies go” I yelled and Tate moved first.

He went to punch but I blocked him and hit him. Percy joined and I whipped around and kicked him in the shin and he yelled “Bitch” Marcus joined and I socked him. It was like a dance all of us blocking and ducking. Punches. I had to admit they were good, but not as good as I was. I had more training with Rob then anyone at the gym. I worked harder than anyone who went there. Even the ones who fought in the ring. Percy got a hold of my arms behind my back. “Fucking get her Tate.” Percy called out. He went to head butt me. Idiot I thought. I used my arms being held as leverage.

I pushed off with my legs and kicked him in the head and he staggered back Marcus moved quick trying to get in as Tate stagged. I let Percy keep hold, I knew I could get out of my arms being bound. My legs had already been up when he slid into Tates place and I wrapped them around his neck squeezing hard with my thighs. He flailed around. I knew Percy would let go any second. MY back was exposed. With my legs up around Marcus neck squeezing I smashed my head back and I knew I broke Percy’s nose.

He let go, my arms were free and I bent back into a back bend taking Marcus massive body down closer to the ground. I let go of his neck for one second. He thought he would be freed but I smashed them together again. This would be the knockout for Marcus, I used my strong arms to support this move. I lifted my legs keeping hold of Marcus neck with them and flipped over from a backbend bringing his body over with my legs. My abs, arms , and legs burned as they strained. He was not small but I let go of his neck at the right moment so I could land and lifted my arms and dropped him hard on the ground.

My body protested but I moved fast so I could punch him hard in the face. He was already deprived of oxygen and the force of my fist in his face he was knocked out. I turned to Percy who was bleeding from his nose. I was about to charge him when Tate hit me from the side. I grabbed a hold of his hair as he had my side locked with one arm and was punching my stomach. I grabbed his hair hard and used my other hand to punch him in the spine. His grip loosened and I was able to move. It would have been easy to snap his neck. I knew he was dizzy being kicked in the head when Percy had held me.

He was swaying, head injuries sucked. He was a full shifter like everyone else here, he would be fine tomorrow. I charged him but fell into the dirt and kicked hard at the back of his knee and he fell. I grabbed his hair again and brought my knee up and kneed him in the face. I heard his nose break and he fell to the ground passed out too. To many hard hits to his head. I looked at Percy whose lower half of his face was bloody. I raised my eyebrows. “Come on Lilith not me too. I give in” I smiled at his remark but Robs voice was in my head, telling me “We don’t let people yield.” I was not his slave anymore, I stopped myself from hitting him and let out a sigh of relief.

I turned to the onlookers who looked shocked but also a bit thrilled. “Get back to the bags, but Bethany, Mia, and Roxie help your mates, bones need setting so they can heal.” They moved fast. I I had blood on my fists but I would address that later. I walked up to the boy who wanted a demonstration. “Satisfied?” I asked. He said as he hit the bag hard. “You are the best fighter I have ever seen, well aside from Alpha.” I snorted. I had not ever seen Eric fight. I wondered if he would be a challenge? “We are fucking goddesses” Kali said in my head. “You liked that did you?” I asked her in my mind. “Are you shitty me right now? That was fun to watch. As much as I hate Rob, he did a dam fine job” She wasn’t wrong.

Training was another hour, and I let them stop. “Before you all go, I need you to stop by the packhouse at some point tomorrow. I will have a rooster up posted on the door. You will give me your name, clothing size, and age.” They looked confused. I didn’t need to explain myself. “That is a command it will be posted outside later tonight so get it done before training tomorrow, you are dismissed. Now move your assess and go.” They scrambled and I smirked as I walked away. Noel caught up with me. He always came to training.

“Fuck Lilith how the hell are you capable of fighting like that.” I shrugged and said, “Hard fucking painful work.” He shook his head. “What is the roster for?” I looked at him and smiled. I didn’t know if I should tell him or surprise him. I had already discussed this with Eric when I took over training. I would be ordering clothes for those training and I would be grouping them according to their assessment and come up with a training plan for the groups. It was a lot of work, but it was the best and fastest way to get them in shape.

Kali said “I think we should only do cheer this year. You are going to be so hard pressed to sleep with all of this and running me, though if you didn’t do that, I would make you so your choice.” There it was that asshole in her. So demanding, but she had a point. Maybe with training and I would have enough to not have to do other sports. I had mostly replaced the sports with the two hours of training. “I will talk to Eric about it, and thanks for the advice, and the threat.” I could feel her being smug in my head.

“Are you going to tell me about the roster?” Noel asked again. “Nope, it is a surprise.” I said and he huffed. I chuckled. He looked at my hand. “You split your knuckles, and I bet the bruises are going to be nasty.” He said and I nodded. I had been through worse, but I felt all my muscles throbbing. At least shifting when I ran after dinner would alleviate the pain. Kali would be the one carrying the injuries well as long as she was in control. But unlike the three stooges I was only half shifter and though I healed faster than a human, I would be sore for more than a day. We approached the packhouse. I wanted a shower and walked into to my suite.

Eric was sleeping, weird I thought. I didn’t know he napped. But then again maybe he had a lot going on. I knew he worked during the day. Finance and legal stuff, which was apparently a lot, according to Noel. I understood, he managed a large amount of property and assets not to mention business with the humans. It kept income coming in for the pack.

Then the afternoon he spent addressing pack matters. That is what Noel did before he came with me to school. He found out what the pack needed and other things and then Eric would find the solutions. It was a lot for just one person. I ran my fingers through his hair, and he groaned and turned over. Poor guy, I thought and headed for the shower. It would be my first of the day and I would have one before bed after I ran Kali.
