Chapter 0104

When my father and I arrive at training on Friday morning, the first thing I see is Cara dressed for a workout. The second thing I notice is that everyone is quiet and Cara is verbally clashing with her father.

I come to stand behind her. If she wants to train, I will train with her. I can make sure that she doesn’t push herself too much. I’m proud that she’s out here and ready to go, but I also don’t want her pushing too hard too fast.

When it’s time for sparring, I’m thrilled that Cara takes up a position to help work with the warriors that are going against me. I love her teaching method. She’s making my warriors think. It’s no surprise that Trevor has the answer to her question about my signature move. I’m surprised she knows what it is, but I guess I shouldn’t be. She’s been training to be a fighting machine her whole life.

Her fighting intelligence is superior. Her simple answer stumps Trevor and I can see by the look on their faces, that it stumps the rest of the warriors too. But she’s absolutely right. The only way to overcome a move that someone uses again and again, is to anticipate it and be prepared to counter it.

When Trevor gives her the flippant response that her answer isn’t helpful, I jump in. I move to stand beside her, showing a united front. She’s right about this and they need to know we are in total agreement.

The pack already knows that she’s my mate, so they will be looking at her as their future Luna. Showing them that we are in agreement will make the pack feel safer, stronger. It’s something that is important in pack dynamics. The Alpha and Luna should always show that they are unified. Dissention among the two leading wolves causes dissention among the pack, weakening them.

Cara is able to point out to Trevor where he made a mistake. Next time, I think I’ll have a harder time taking him down, which is good. I plan to make him my lead warrior.

When Trevor asks when Cara and I will spar, we answer at the same time. I have no intention of sparring with her so soon, until she offers to give me what I

want. Her.

It’s a low blow. I quickly think over the possibilities of sparring with her. I am a strong enough fighter that I can wear her out and not hurt her. I’m confident enough in my skills. Normally, I wouldn’t try to wear her down, but if this is what it takes for her to say yes to being my girlfriend, then I’m in.

When Clint calls the end of training, I enjoy the view of Cara’s rounded ass as she

walks inside. Then, I head back to the pack house. My father falls into step with

“Son, do you think it’s wise to spar with Cara on Monday? I know she’s tough and strong, but it seems too soon.”

“I agree dad, but apparently, she has put her willingness to be my girlfriend on outcome of that battle. So, yes, I’d rather wait, but I’m going to win and she

will be mine.”

He looks at me thoughtfully. “Just be careful. You don’t want the next several weeks to be spent helping her recover.”

“Don’t worry dad, I got this.”

When I get to Cara’s house, she’s walking out the door before I have a chance to get to her. I jog over and collect her bag, taking the opportunity to give her a quick kiss on her nose.

Her cheeks turn a pale shade of pink. Damn, my girl is adorable. So tough on the training field, so sweet and innocent over a little kiss.

When we get to my car, she stops. “Is this your birthday present?” She asks me.
