My Surprise Mate

We had spent the past five days training from sunup to sundown, only stopping to eat.

My training consisted of working with Ash in the mornings, Dane after lunch, and Alpha Dayton in the evenings.

All of them have told me that I’m a natural, but I still am not near as good as they are.

I have even seen Adria and Zayd training.

I was very surprised at Zayd; even though he walks with a cane, he is still a force to be reckoned with.

He is still a good fighter in human form, but when he shifts to his wolf, he is much better.

After a heated discussion, it was decided that Zayd and Adria will protect the packhouse should anyone make it in.

Genesis will be with Blaze and Kyra and the other woman and children in the bunker under the packhouse.

She didn’t want to at first but finally agreed to it.

Some women have stepped up, volunteering to fight, and have been training alongside men.

Dane had never told women they couldn’t be warriors, but with such a large pack, they just never really wanted or needed to.

We haven't heard anything from Tatiana since her last appearance, but she did say she wouldn't be back until Apollo arrived.

I wish she would come before then.

She could train with us, and maybe even teach us a thing or two.

The office door flew open as Genesis came running in with Kyra in her arms and Blaze leading the way.

“What happened?”

I questioned as I ran to her, grabbing Kyra from her arms.

She looked at Blaze and nodded her head.

“Something bad is about to happen,”

he said confidently.

Dane stood and walked beside me, taking Kyra from my arms as Ash picked up Blaze.
