Evelyn's Skills
"Can you throw the ninja blades?" Josh asked, showing the blades to the Luna.
"Umm…I don't know, I'll try. Can you show me how it's thrown? "
"Of course!" The beta hurriedly got into position. His left leg stepped forward as he aimed with his right hand up in the air. In a quick wrist movement, the blade flew to the target.
"Woah! So close to the yellow! " Rain clapped while Josh sighed.
"I've been practicing for so long but I still can't get it right," The warrior sulked.
"It's OK Josh, you'll learn it someday, " Scarlett patted his back to cheer him up. "It's not easy to throw knives and blades,"
"I know, only Alpha, Derek, and some other warriors can do it. The rest of us are still learning,"
"Who's Derek? " Evelyn questioned, her brows furrowed in confusion.
"Amelia's mate," Scarlett replied, making the omega nod her head as she remembered Amelia talking about her mate being a warrior.
"Here Luna, try this, " Josh extended the blade to Evelyn.
"How do you hold the blade? I didn't really see it when you did that before,"
Evelyn took the blade from his hand.
"You hold it like this, " Josh demonstrated, holding a star blade in his hand. "You have to form an 'L' with your fingers when you're holding it. Make sure none of its edges are closer to your skin. Don't move your hand forward when throwing, just use your wrist."
Evelyn nodded in understanding before she mimicked the position the beta did when he threw before. The blade smoothly flew and pierced the first yellow circle.
"Oh god, Luna, you're really good at this! " Josh shouted, making Evelyn blush.
"I-It's because I have practiced throwing stones since I was little," The omega scratched her ear.
"You're a ninja!" Rain shouted, causing Scarlett to chuckle.
"Wait, you need to try this," The beta said before hurriedly walking out of the room.
After a few seconds, he came back with a shotgun. Evelyn gasped, looking at the weapon.
"No no, I don't know how to use a gun," She refused hastily, shaking her head.
"You just have to point it and pull the trigger," Josh smiled. "Nothing more, Luna. It's already loaded,"
"Josh, I'm scared. I-I can't do this, " The omega gulped.
"Luna, you have a good aim. I know you can do this," The beta wasn't backing off. He wanted to see the girl discovering her talents.
Evelyn looked at Scarlett in hope that she'll help but the former Luna just smiled at the omega.
"I'm scared of gunshots," Rain whispered, his bottom lips gutted out.
"See? Rain is afraid of gunshots. We can do this la—"
"Oh, it's okay, Luna! I'll cover my ears, " The boy cut her off, both of his hands going to cover his ears.
Josh snickered as he saw the omega's shoulders slump in disappointment.
"Come on, try this, Luna. It's not that hard," The warrior gave the gun to Evelyn.
"It's heavier than I thought," She said, looking at the gun.
"It's because it's made of metal, "Josh explained, walking towards the shooting section. "See the red dot in the middle? That's where you have to shoot," He pointed to the aim. "Hold your hand straight and focus on the aim. Make sure your gun is pointed at the correct place. Just pull the trigger and don't jerk it," The beta explained to Evelyn who nodded in reply.
She took a deep breath and looked at Scarlett who gave her an encouraging smile. Rain gave her a thumbs up before hurriedly covering his ear again.
The omega focused on the target, holding her breath. She blinked a few times to clear her vision. The gun pointed towards the aim and the girl closed her left eye to make sure she was seeing correctly before she pulled the trigger.
A loud boom echoed in the large room making Rain jump with a squeal. Evelyn lightly panted as she looked at the aim. The bullet had hit the red spot.
"This is unbelievable," Josh said, staring at the aim. "It's your first time shooting and you hit the aim…Luna, I think your talent is in aiming," He smiled at the omega who stared at him confused. "Do you know how to fight? " He asked suddenly.
Evelyn scratched her neck. "I don't, " She replied shamefully, remembering how her mate ridiculed her for it.
"Do you want to learn?" Evelyn was gaping when Josh asked her the question.
"Are you gonna teach me?"
"Only if you want to, "
"Wonderful idea," Scarlett chirped in, glad that the omega was learning new things.
"Umm let's check how much you know, " Josh said, taking a knife from the box.
"What do you mean check? I don't know anything," Evelyn stepped back when she saw the beta pick up the knife.
"Relax, Luna. I'm not gonna do anything. You just have to take this knife from me. You can do anything to get it, " He said as he chuckled, showing the knife to the omega.
"Umm… okay," The omega looked at the beta skeptically before jumping to grab the knife but Josh was faster than she thought. The beta moved quickly, stepping back and holding the knife out of reach from the omega.
"Hey, that's cheating! I'm not that tall! "She shouted, making the omega chuckle.
Scarlett and Rain watched the situation amused. They both looked at each other and chuckled, seeing the omega and beta fight.
Evelyn jumped and hanged on the beta's hand which held the knife but there was no result. Josh kept the knife out of reach.
The omega grinned when she got an idea. She made the beta spin by pulling on his hand and then tried to make him fall using her feet. But the warrior's senses were so quick, he immediately jumped causing Evelyn to fall instead. She squealed and grabbed onto the next thing closer to her which happened to be the beta's shirt that made him fall on top of her.
Scarlett and Rain laughed, clutching their stomach, looking at the two on the ground.
"You're really bad at this, Luna." Josh sighed causing Evelyn to whine. The beta tried to sit up, lifting his weight off the girl as he gripped the kunai knife carefully to not hurt the omega.
When the beta was trying to sit up, the door opened quickly and a strong scent of cinnamon and honey wafted into the room.
The omega gasped and looked at the door, panicked to see Keiran there with his eyes blood red and jaw clenched tightly as he looked at the scene in front of him. "Meet me at my study in five minutes, Evelyn." He breathed out, his voice dangerously deep and serious which made the omega shiver.
He glared at the beta and his mate before he went out of the room slamming the door behind him.
