Chapter 11
Happiness POV
"Happiness! Happiness! Wake up sleepy head, we have training today!" someone yelled while they bounced on my bed. I groaned and rolled over to bury my face in my pillow,
"Five more minutes." I begged sleepily, as I tried to go back to dreamland, trying my best to ignore the person hopping up and down like a bunny on my bed.
"Come on Happiness! That's no fun! You are not going to stay in bed all day now are you?" whined the person. Frustrated, I rolled over to face whoever was bothering me so early in the morning, squinting one eye open only to be blinded completely by the sunlight as the person abruptly opened the curtains. "Ahh! My eyes! It burns!" I screamed as I immediately disappeared under the duvet.
The person started tugging on the duvet, attempting to rip it off me.
"Let's go, Happiness! Get up or else I can guarantee you are not going to get any of my famous delicious blueberry pancakes." taunted the person. I shot right out of bed in fear, my eyes wild and wide,
"I'm up!" I saw Claudia laughing her ass off,
"I can not believe that worked! Now come on sleeping beauty, get ready! You look like a bear who just woke up from twenty years of hibernation." she told me. I rolled my eyes,
"Gee, thanks, Claudia. I am so glad to have such an honest friend in my life." Claudia laughed and patted my messy bed head,
"Anytime my dear Happiness, see you at breakfast!" With that, she waltzed out of my room to let me get ready for the day. I brushed my teeth, splashed cold water on my face to wash away the face wash bubbled on my face, and tamed my wild hair. I then put on a sports bra, a loose tank top, a pair of black biker shorts, and my plain black and white tennis shoes.
I made my way downstairs and headed into the kitchen. The sight of Jade, Taylor, and Terry preparing breakfast while wearing a bright neon pink apron and chef's hats made me laugh like a maniac for a minute straight. After I got over my laughing fit, I joined Juliet, Matthew, Loius, and Claudia at the table.
"Anyone wants to explain what is going on?" I asked in amusement.
"Our mates are trying to make up for what they did yesterday," Juliet told me while smirking. I giggled,
"Aww how adorable! Hey…Wait for a second, Louis why aren't you cooking for us too? You took part in the prank too!" Louis blushed and looked down,
"I can't cook." he mumbled so quietly that even with my werewolf hearing, I could not hear a single thing he said.
"I'm sorry, I did not quite catch that, mind repeating that Louis?" I asked him, whilst leaning closer.
"I can't cook," Louis repeated, this time louder. I giggled,
"Aww Louis, anyone can cook. I am sure that you are not that bad!"
Claudia laughed,
"Trust me, Happiness, you do not want to try his cooking, unless you actually want to end up bedridden for the next fifty years. He is the world's worst cook, not one can beat him to that title. Last year, he wanted to prove to us that he could cook if he tried really hard and the result was… let's just say it was horrifying. He made rock hard steak, that could literally be used as a murder weapon, served with a side of charcoal-colored and tasting pasta, so black that it was camouflage with the black plates he used to serve us, and lumpy asparagus that dripped water like an unending waterfall when you picked them up. And for dessert, the reason why we were not served the chocolate cake he made was due to the fact that it had exploded in the oven." Claudia shivered as she recounted that fateful day. Matthew continued the story,
"We were all sick for days after eating his creations, therefore, Louis was banned from cooking for any of us again." I chuckled,
"Oh my god, that's hilarious. How can anyone be that bad at cooking." Louis crossed his arms and pouted, "It is not funny Happiness." He looked like an adorable little child when he did that, it was amusing to see a big strong Alpha pout. I smiled,
"You've got to admit, that story is pretty funny! Hey, we can be good at everything, right? It's good to have a balance."
"Ta-da!" Jade, Terry, and Taylor exclaimed in harmony, as they served us our breakfast. I had to admit, they did a pretty good job. The big bowl of fruit salad looked juicy and sweet, the avocado on toast looked delicious, and the omelet was perfectly cooked. After they finished serving us, they joined us at the table and we all started eating.
"This is delicious guys!" exclaimed Claudia after taking a bite of the avocado toast.
"This is the best omelet that I have ever tasted," Louis announced, after swallowing his first bite.
"We decided to make a healthy, light, and balanced breakfast since we have training today," said Terry.
"That is such a good idea, eating a big breakfast before training makes me feel sick whilst fighting" Mathew informed us. Claudia turned to me with a grin,
"Oh that's right! We all have training today and it is the first training session with Happiness in our group! I can't wait to train with you girly!" I smiled at her and nodded,
"Me too Claudia! I still can not believe that I made it to the advanced group."
After breakfast, we headed to the training grounds, I briefly waved at my friend, Marcus when I spotted him amongst the crowd. He was placed in the intermediate group. Marcus gave me a thumbs up and mouthed a quick
"Good luck!" before turning back to pay attention to his training coach. I also returned my attention to Louis and Terry, who were the training coaches for the advanced group.
"Alright guys, today we are going to focus on head to head combat," announced Terry.
"Please shift now and pair up with someone!" Louis commanded.
"Hey Happiness, Let's be partners!" Claudia exclaimed, hugging one of my arms. I smiled at her,
"Sure Claudia, I would love to!" She beamed,
"Great! Let's shift then and get this party started." Mandel danced in excitement, "Yay! Happiness, my sweet and precious human, let me take over now! It is my time to shine!" I giggled,
"Alright Mandel, let's do this!" I let my wolf take over and soon we were on all fours.
"Alright wolves, spread out and start your duels! The first one to pin down their opponents for exactly three seconds, wins the match." declared Louis. We were ready to beat and her wolf's fluffy butt. We swiftly walked over to a secluded area and got ready for our battle.
"Think you can beat me?" Penelope mind-linked Mandel.
"Oh, not just beat you Penelope, I will dominate you completely. Just you wait," replied Mandel confidently. We circled each other for a few moments until she decided to strike first. Mandel easily dodged the attack and swiped a paw across her face in retaliation, causing three bloody scratched marks to form. Claudia whimpered and back away a bit before attempting to strike again. She lunged at me and caught us by the neck, we whimpered in pain as her teeth sunk deep into our flesh and pinning us down to the ground.
