My Secret, My Bully, My Mates. Series

2-106

Training has been brutal, but getting better everyday. I don't know if the trainers are hard on us because they know our attention has to be divided with our individual team training assignments from Alpha Reggie, or if we really are that out of shape. I personally feel out of shape.

We have gotten a decent schedule down over the last six weeks. After a very early and aggressive morning training and breakfast with the whole warrior compound the six of us literally run our five mile route to our assignments.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Nathaniel and Jena run to a building outside the warrior leader's house and work with the cyber team, developing methods of tracking using every form of web knowledge they have. They are also really close to developing a similar tracker to the one Mike had placed in Jena and I. The focus has been on making it easy to administer and remove as well as less detectable. Doc Ganon and Doc Sylvia have been having far too much fun playing hide and seek on all of us as guinea pigs.

We have even talked Sierra into helping us by working with her parents to discover the different combinations of herbs and poisons that were used on Jena and I. She is actually really smart with all of this stuff and possibly more crazy than her mom when it comes to testing on us. She is actually trying to get us all to build a tolerance to wolfsbane, by sneaking it into our food to see if we or our wolves notice a difference. She has been having fun consulting with witches on the properties of plants and their uses in magic. I think she is also excited about getting out of regular school work as well. And I get to see her more since she is on the training grounds more regularly.

Wyatt and Lillian have teamed up with Tracker to learn, well, tracking. He's such a big guy so it doesn't seem like that would be the best thing for him to do, but he has a natural flare for it. And he is a ninja when he wants to be, constantly sneaking up on all of us. She is his opposite in build, but an amazing warrior and after hearing about the girls who were taken along with us, she wants to be one of the first in line to help with recovery in situations like that. They are both beasts when it comes to training. Neither slacked off while we were away. And I love the workout they both give me when we spar.

Mina and I head to the castle almost everyday to play buffer for Xander so he can actually get some work done. Like my guys back home he is taking on jobs and responsibilities from his day to make the transition to Alpha King almost seamless. He is currently in charge of all the things that we need to bring in from outside the kingdom or from human manufacturers. The coordination and secrecy involved with supplying our people with basic first world items is a big job and he has done spectacularly at it. Mina and I help when we can, because, let's face it, sitting around looking pretty is boring. It is fun watching the faces of the many girls who just 'happen' to stop by the castle offices and they find him very much not alone.

Luna Anne has taken to showing us how to deal with the never ending parade of people that need or want something from the royal family. Sometimes the needs and wants are legitimate, sometimes they are selfish and others are downright entitled and rude, but she handles each one with the same grace and dignity. No one ever talks about the job that the Luna or Luna Queen holds. So many of these girls think it's just the planning of parties, ceremonies and celebrations and looking the best in the most lavish fashions, but there is so much more to what they do and it's so amazing to watch Luna Anne do it. Like a wel rehearsed dance with Barty flitting in and out of the room, gathering things that are an easy quick solution and the three of us taking notes on things that need more time.

I also get pulled away to work with Alpha Reggie. He still has people digging into my mother and grandmother since they were both hiding from the royals. He has found that my grandmother most likely knew of her abilities and royal affiliations, but no one knows if my mother knew her lineage or of her abilities. Alpha Reggie and Alpha Lucas have been working on getting my father to open up about her and her history, but they haven't gotten very far yet and Alpha Reggie keeps those interactions to himself. That at least tells me that my father doesn't ask or talk about me at all or is still spouting his 'you killed my mate' hate towards me.

I have learned that my grandmother was a twin and had some use of magic, which probably helped her hide from the royals and the rogue leader. Her twin sister could communicate with the forest which Alpha Reggie and I were looking into since that seems like a weird ability.

Alpha Reggie did bring in a witch from Gentry's coven. She still hasn't returned and Nickolas hasn't been able to feel her, but he says the bond hasn't snapped either, meaning she's still alive just under a spell most likely to keep her hidden.

"Alright let's focus on your elemental energies today." Elena says to me. We are out working in the maze where we can be disturbed or overheard. There are many who wouldn't understand this training because, aside from being able to transform from a human to a wolf, we have no magic. Eye roll with me now. It's just not typical for my species to be able to control magic in any way, even if a werewolf and witch mate the kids usually get one trait or the other, not both. I'm so lucky.
