Training Grounds

Grayson pov

I woke up with Sydney in my arms. This time I would not leave her side until Annabelle got here to be with her. I kissed Sydney's forehead as I got up to go shower, I hoped Wesley would just show up this morning so I could get Annabelle from him. I got showered and dressed and sat in the chair while I waited for either Sydney to wake or Wesley to show up.

Knock
Knock

I opened the door to reveal Wesley and Annabelle standing there.

"Good morning Lycan." They said in unison.

"Good morning you two. I am glad you are here."

"I thought you might want me here this morning since you two had things to do." Said Annabelle weakly.

"Yes thank you for coming."

All of a sudden I heard my mate stirred, I was by her side as she was sitting up in bed.

"Good morning my beautiful darling."

She smiled up at me.

"You know I'm not breakable. I don't need to be watched over."

"After what happened yesterday I'm not taking any chances."

"Nothing is going to happen to me!"

She stood up from the bed as if to prove her point.

"See perfectly fine."

I looked at her as I got closer to her.

I pulled her to my chest.

"I don't know what I would do if I lost you, my Lycan went mad when you were hurt. Please just let Annabelle be here for my sake."

She looked me in the eyes and huffed.

"FINE but you are not trapping me in this room. The packhouse fine but not this ROOM!"

"Yes, dear and you can call on me or have Annabelle call Wesley if you need anything."

She pushed me back and smiled.

"Just go and prepare for the war, us girls will be safe here."

I kissed her knuckles as Wesley and I left the room. We walked out of the packhouse and to the training grounds. I needed to see how prepared they were for this battle. It was too late to send reinforcement so we had to see what we had to work with.

We approached the training grounds as we watched wolf fight against wolf. I didn't see any of them fighting in there human form which was odd to me. I turned to Wesley to see the same shocked expression, he had come to the same conclusion. They don't know how to fight without there wolves, this was going to be hard. If any of these wolves had silver or wolvesbane we were in trouble. In that condition they wouldn't be able to transform into a wolf, which is why we trained in human form as well.

As we were watching and thinking how many we needed to train Alpha Trevor approached us.

"Good morning Lycan and Alpha Wesley."

Wesley knodded his head as I spoke.

"Why are they not training in there human form?"

He looked confused.

"Because our wolves are so much stronger, the human is not."

"Exactly why you need to train the human side as well. If your wolf got weaken you still had your human to save yourself." Wesley replied and I knodded in agreement.

"We never needed the human to be strong, sir." He bowed his head.

"This training will not work. We need to be focusing on the human. The hunters are coming and they will make sure to fight the human side not the wolf which means all your pack will die because the human is weak."

His eyes got big as he realized his mistake.

"Call them all over, we are starting a new training, not only will Wesley and I train them but you will need to be trained as well. We don't have a lot of time either."

He ran over to the training ground and called them together while Wesley and I walked over slowly talking.

"Do you train the human side?"

"Yes and females too, but we don't require females to fight unless they choose so. We know that may need to find to protect the elderly and the children so we prepare for it but hope we won't need it."

"That is how it should be!"

We approached the group as they had all returned to there human form. I stood at the front and guided Wesley to my side.

"I have seen you all fight in your wolf form and that is great, don't stop that training.....however your humans are WEAK! You would not survive battle against me or wesley in human form right now!"

"Our wolf would destroy you in human form." Someone from the crowd shouted.

"Wonderful, you have been injected with wolvesbane. You can not fight in wolf form or use any wolf ability while injected. How do you fight me off now."

The crowd was silent looking around, even Alpha Trevor didn't know what to say or do.

I looked down and shook my head.

Wesley stood up looking at me for permission to speak, I knodded my head at him.

"For those that do not know me my name is Alpha Wesley, our pack trains in our human form and with females."

Growls were heard as he spoke. I could tell this pack needed work to get to where it needed to be even after the hunters left.

"Our pack is one of the bests for this reason, we train in human form to make sure no matter what form we can still fight to destroy our enough. To save ourselves or help others in this form. Your pack is weak and needs training!"

"How dare you speak to us that way, you are only a guest."

People cheering and agreeing to the statement.

"And what am I?" I roared angry at these disrespecting wolves.

"So if anyone can defeat Wesley in human form, we will leave it alone. Any takers?"

A man walked forward with men cheering for him.

"I will take that challenge!"

"So be it, clear the field for we will see who will stand at the end."

Everyone cleared the field. They all looked to me to see when to beginning as Wesley walked out to the field next to his opponent.

"May the best MAN win!"

They attacked eachother with not regard to safety, holding nothing back. The man went for Wesley's throat multilple times to be flung over and tossed on the ground. The man scrambled to get up as he was running out of breath. Every time he was thrown he became weaker and weaker, he could not call on his wolf to help. He ran at Wesley again, he flipped him over his shoulder but this time he held onto his arm and was able to then step on his chest as he was gasping for air. He hit his hand on the ground, a sign of giving up.

Wesley got off him and he backed away. The man tried to charge again at him, he flipped him over and walked away again. The man laid there this time in complete surrender.

"So as you see needing to train your human is just as important as training your wolf." Wesley spoke as he made his way back up to me.

"I can see we have a lot of training ahead of us but unfortunately we might not have much time to complete this training. We will be working every day on this field in human for with Wesley and I. If we believe that you are ready we will bring the fight to the hunters. If not.........we hope they come here instead where we have a chance of survival. So be prepared to be here all day, every day and hope that we don't get attacked while you are sleeping."

They all looked around but then bowed there heads at us.

"Training begins in 20 minutes, get something light to eat or drink and be back here. Wesley and I will discuss the training needed while you are away and come up with a game plan."

They all then quickly left to go do what was needed while we stood there watching and looking at the men we had to work with.

Wesley looked at me then and spoke.

"Lycan, I was able to speak to my mother. She already knew you were Sydney's mate and is happy and excited for you both."

"Smart lady."

"She did not know of the pregnancy but she said she would consult her books and let me know when she had an answer."

"Okay." I said sounding defeated.

"She did tell me one thing though.......Sydney will make it alive through the war. So focus on the war and then focus on the pregnancy, mother said."

"Well at least that, I won't have to work about her and the war at the same time."

"Thanks."

"Welcome."
