Chapter 16

Axels pov

I can't even begin to explain how hard it was for me to not grab Leila and kiss her senseless last night. Both me and Carl were watching the girls the whole night, and when she started to dance with that human I had to hold my self and Arlo back with all I had not to tear his head off and bathe in his blood. Sounds extreme I know, but after holding back for 2 weeks I'm feeling myself slip. I am so close to admitting to my self that the battle is lost and claim her.

Anders and Carl have been on my case, my fuse is short and I lash out at anyone remotely annoying. Carl has said on a few occasions that I remind him of a woman PMSing, and I think that about covers it. But Arlo is close to the surface at all time, begging me to go to her, I would challenge anyone to keep calm with a whiny wolf nudging at their mind pretty much 24/7.

Luckily I have the packs training to focus on, that takes place every day, several times a day. So it keeps me occupied and active. I've split the packs training into four time slots. The warriors train in the morning, the average adults and humans train at noon, the school kids train in the afternoon after school, and any elders who want to train have a short session in the evening. Even the youngest kids and the pregnant are included in the training. If there is an attack the weakest members will seek shelter in the safe room, but if that is breached they should be able to at least fight back.

Leila and Kyle have both joined the warriors, they are strong fighters and what they lacked in technique they made up for in speed and agility. The first time they joined us the warriors were apprehensive, they were worried about harming their Luna and didn't know what to expect from their tigers. But they soon proved that they more than deserved to fight with the best and earned their place among the warriors. They also proved to be quick learners and have adapted to our way of fighting, I highly doubt anyone in the pack could take on Leila and walk away. Me and Anders might win against Kyle though, he is good but not as good as his sister. It still is impressive that it would take the Alpha or the Head Warrior of the pack to take him, it's one hell of a Luna we got there.

It's 6 o'clock and my warriors are starting to pour onto the training field. And there she is. I feel her before I see her, Arlo is doing somersaults in my head panting and whining, so it's hard to ignore her presence. She walks onto the field with her new friends, Nari and Anne, they are two of my best warriors. Crazy as hell, loyal to a fault and with amazing fighting skills they are the wolves I have chosen as my second and third on the battlefield.

She is wearing the usual training tights and sports bra, and my reaction to the sight is predictable and also the reason I have started to have a clipboard with me at all times during the morning training, I once again have a growing bulge in the front of my pants.

Her eyes seem to seek me out the second she gets close enough and the eye contact makes the world disappear, all I can see is her looking back at me with those amazing green eyes, she gives me a kinda half smile, and I can't help but smile back.

"...xel, Axel, hey are you there?" The sound of Carls voice brings me back to reality.

"Yeah, I'm here, whats up?"

"Nothing much, just wondering why you're standing there with a goofy grin and a faraway look in your eyes," Carl is staring at me like he's trying to solve a complex puzzle, and in a way, I guess he is. I know I'm acting weird I just can't help it.

I ignore his question and clear my throat, "Guys listen up! Start warming up, 2 running laps, 2 laps with rotation, 2 laps back pedal, 2 laps butt kick and 2 laps high knees." They start their 10 laps without complaining and I join in, once we are done we have hardly broken a sweat. "Good guys, now I want some side shuffles and end with leg crossovers." After we are finished I decide it's time for the fun to begin.

"Get together two and two, one shift, the wolf attack, the human defend, when I say so you switch. Remember guys, don't hold back...."

"That's what the doctor is for!!" They all answer back and get to work.

As I walk around and observe I feel a great sense of pride in my warriors, they are pretty damn close to flawless. Just some small pointers and words of encouragement are needed.

As I pass by Leila in human form fighting another female wolf, yes I made sure the males stayed away from her, Arlo manages to break out and makes words tumble out from my lips, "I think it's time I have a go Leila. "What the hell Arlo, why would you do that? I sounded like a total perv!"  I spit out at him, "So what? The hard on you have been sporting most of the morning should be proof enough that you are a perv." I can't really argue that, and Leila is looking at me with a questioning look, so I need to stop arguing with Arlo and pull my shit together.

"Who will be shifting?" She seems to be a little uncomfortable with this, so I decide to take charge and start undressing, happy that Arlos little surprise attack has momentarily deflated me. As I get undress I can't help but notice Leila's eyes following my every move, her eyes are moving around my body, I can practically feel them caressing me and I decide to hurry this along cause my body's reaction is instant. I hurriedly rid my self of my last pieces of clothing and shift before everyone there can see the impact she has on me.

After I shift I start to circle her, looking for a weak spot, I growl and fake lunge at her to make her go after me. But she's not having any of it, she patiently waits for me to make the first move, tracking my moves but remaining still.

Everyone on the field has stopped their training to watch us, and it's clear that word has gotten out that I will be fighting Leila, cause I can spot a few faces of people who are not warriors.

The smirk that starts to form on her face finally makes me do something I never do, I make the first move. I hurl myself at her, going straight for her throat. While I'm in the air I can feel her arms shoot out, grab me by the scruff of the neck and side, she positions her body sideways and drive her knee into my side, effectively planting me to the ground with a loud thud. Oh, yeah, she's good, she has listened to all my advice and used the moves against me.

I manage to slip out of her hold and start to move around her again, this time I attack her from behind and she once again steps to the side making me miss her completely. But as I sail past her she grabs a hold of me again and pins me to the ground moving her knee to my neck cutting off my air supply, if she applies a little more pressure she will break my neck. That's when Arlo decides to take control, he makes my body go limp as he enjoys the contact with his mate. And I can't really blame him, where she is touching our body there are sparks running over the surface, making us both feel at ease and happy.

It's clear that she feels the sparks to, cause she lets go and I can hear her mumble "What the hell is that?" to her self. She stands up and just looks down on Arlo as he stays down and lolls out his tongue and pants happily reveling in the afterglow of the sparks. But I can't let this slide, my warriors are watching for Goddess sake, and I look like I'm high on something. So I force Arlo to relinquish his control to me and get up and shake my fur like nothing happened, and mindlink Leila openly "Good fight, you are every bit as strong as I expected."

"Now get back to training, the show is over! And change places." They all get back to training in the blink of an eye.

All except Leila who stays put, "Listen, I think we need to talk. Do you have some time after training?"

I have a fairly good idea what she wants to talk to me about, and I guess it's time we have this talk. "Sure, we can just stay behind here when we're done."

"Great," she gives me a smile that makes my heart stutter and Arlo makes a little whine slip out, making her look at me with confusion clear on her face. But she just shrugs and move back to her training partner and start to undress. Making me whine yet again and actually pant as I watch her slip out of her clothes, luckily she moves fast and before I can start to focus on the fact that she's naked in front of a bunch of people she shifts into her big tiger.

I surprise my self when I don't feel the least bit disgusted by her form, I admire her shiny, soft-looking fur, she looks strong proud and beautiful. "She sure does, the things I could do to that girl," Arlo just sighs out. But this is not the time for daydreaming so I move over to my clothes, shift back and pull them on. Then I continue to move around the field giving advise and correcting moves and stances.

After training is over the warriors move off the field and head towards the pack house they are all smiling and happily chatting with each other, and it makes me happy to see my people happy. Sappy I know, but they are all my family and I would willingly die for any one of them.

I turn around and see Leila waiting for me, she has put her shifted back and is dressed, now she's  just quietly observing me.

As I move towards her she smiles at me, and I smile back at her. Goddess I feel nervous, I know I can't keep the truth from her anymore, this is it.
