The Wolf In Me novel Chapter 10

Part 1 Thunder and Lightenning

The training was going quite well and I am more confident that our plan on wiping out the entire vampire clan was going to work.

Every wolf pack was on our side and are working as one. The lone wolves also joined in and are now part of our pack. Only the werewolves that live out without their human form were not spoken to. They do not understand a human conversation any longer and they were so wild, that they would attack us. No alpha would bring back their humanity, not even myself.

It was early morning. The sun remained hidden under the grey heavy clouds but still, the moonshine pack were being heavily trained by Malakai.

I watched intently, admiring his motivational speeches and effort. My eyes were laid on Mei. She was one of the best female fighters we had in the pack. I wondered if I should ask her to start giving training to young children. It would be a great idea just in case the plans were all failing and the kids were in danger. They would at least know how to properly defend themselves the best they can.

You can never prepare enough for such a battle. I moved away from the window and started to walk downstairs to the kitchen. Steph was rushing from left to right giving out orders and handing out the ingredients needed to the three chefs that were running against time. Breakfast was to be served within fifteen minutes and they were halfway. We were over two hundred and fifty hungry wolfs now that we had more joining us and I thought we needed more staff in the kitchen.

"Steph, I will leave a comment during breakfast that we need two more chefs to join in. You are all stressed out already and it is still seven o'clock."

I looked at the watch to check the time. Steph nodded and thanked me whilst handing some veggies to Mina and flour to Raylene. I smiled and thanked everyone for the hard work before I left.

I walked outside towards Malakai. He was watching the trainees and giving out instructions whilst showing them the proper way to fight and defend. He must have sensed that I was approaching as he turned his head towards me.

"Alpha, what do you think?" He asked lifting his head towards the trainees.

I nodded and smiled, patting his shoulders roughly with my strong hands.

"Great job Malakai. Within a few more days, everyone will be ready."

I started walking towards Mei that was training against Keira. She was light and quick as she grabbed her arms and rolled her over to the ground. She looked at me smiled but was brought down to the ground after Keira saw that she was distracted by her mate. They both laughed whilst Mei started tickling Keira to tease her.

"Ladies, ladies. You are enjoying yourselves way too much." I giggled as I approached Mei.

They both laughed. Mei stood up and helped Keira up, pulling her from her arms.

"Do you want to talk sweety?" She asked me with a soft voice.

"I have a preposition," I said looking at Mei.

"I thought that the kids should be trained too, just in case. You can never tell if they would need to defend themselves."

Mei kept staring at me, then nodded.

"Yeah. That is a good idea. Of course, they are not strong like us grown-ups, but its good for them to know how to defend themselves. The only problem is that Malakai is busy training us. Who will train the young?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

I smiled and looked at her straight in the eyes.

"What?" She asked.

"Well... I thought that you should," Mei stared at me then lightly giggled nervously and looked at Keira.

"Great choice," Keira said encouraging Mei. "You are the best candidate for the job" she continued.

Mei agreed with a nod and smiled. I could tell that she was happy to have such a role as her eyes were shining bright.

"Everyone, training is over. It will soon start to rain and breakfast will be served in a few minutes," I shouted so that everyone could hear over the chatting and noises.

As soon as the grounds where empty the clapping of thunder filled the quietness of the front garden. I stood there alone thinking about what my dad said to me when he revealed his best-kept secret to me.

My mother was killed right here. I was picturing the moment when a figure appeared before me. It stood right outside before the newly built gate looking into my direction. I heard a hiss coming from that direction. A bolt of lightning hit the ground and made me turn my eyes to its direction. The thunder roared like an angry god filling the sound of the rain hitting the earth.

I turned my eyes into the direction of the shadow and it was gone. My eyes twitched as I frowned my eyebrows not sure if I was just hallucinating. Another bolt of lightning hit the garden and was so close I feard the next one will hit me so I walked back inside, closing the door behind me.

"Today is not a good day to be outside," I told Mei. "Perhaps we can relax and just be in each other's arms," I continued looking at her seductively.
