“Where are we doing this?” I asked.
Roxie moved around and made me look at her. “By the lake,” she said. “It’s quiet, and there is plenty of room to training.”
I nodded.
We all started to walk toward the direction of the lake.
I glanced at Jason, whose eyes were somewhere else behind him.
“Sofia left,” Roxie mind-linked at me. I looked at her, and she stared ahead. “She wanted to make a start on the Luna ceremony. We made a huge head away on it all last night. She has a few people to see and organize so that she will see us later.”
I didn’t say anything, but Roxie placed her hand in mine.
“I want Jason to train with today,” she muttered. “I think putting him on his a*s or even his head a few times might get him to be with her and be a man for once.”
Blaze huffed.
I didn’t say anything, even though he needed a kick up the a*s, and what better way than Roxie to deliver it.
As we approached the lake, Keith stopped and turned to face us all as we stopped.
“Right,” he said, looking between us. “Here, we will be training every day for eight hours. Only have a few breaks, but that will be up to Roxie more than anything. I will use all three of you, but I will also have you all get some equipment we may need throughout the time.”
We all nodded.
Keith looked at Roxie.
“You will be pushed to the limits,” he said. “Are you ready?”
Roxie stared at him and nodded.
“Right,” Keith shouted. “Let’s get started.”
Keith turned around and walked toward the lake.
I could feel Roxie’s hand squeeze mine.
I looked at her, and a mischievous grin spread across her face.
“You know Jason won’t be the only one I will put on their a*s,” she said.
I smirked.
“We will see, sweetheart,” I said as I led her away toward where everyone else was.
“You know she will, right,” muttered Blaze, slightly amused.
I ignore him.
I knew she will, but I won’t be holding back either. I want her to win, and win, she will.
ROXIE
A MONTH LATER
Every bone in my body ached.
A whole month of training and the ultimate fight was tomorrow and my Luna ceremony.
Bex and I were beyond excited but also nervous.
Sofia did a fantastic job organizing everything for the Luna ceremony. I knew I could trust her. Tonight she will be staying at the house with me; we are having a girl’s night, while Lex will be with my father, Jason, Uncle Keith, and Alpha Frank in the pack house.
Lex and I decided on treating the whole Luna ceremony like a wedding for the first part.
Alpha Frank told everyone about the Luna ceremony and the ultimate fight through an open pack link. Everyone was buzzing and excited.
A few members came to watch me train when they stumbled on it, which was fantastic. The most people that came to watch me was when I fought Lex and won.
There was no holding back, nothing. He even gave me a run for my money.
My father and Uncle Keith, Alpha Frank, set it up last week.
Lex gave it all, and still, I dropped him on his a*s.
After the fight, I was aching, but that didn’t stop Lex from taking me in every position he could. Apparently, it was a turn-on to get your a*s handed to you by your mate, who wore it with pride. Well, until we got home and took charge of the evening.
Training got more intense as it came closer to the day. Uncle Keith threw everything at me, and I took it all. My body was worn out and hurt in places it shouldn’t, but I knew I had to do it.
Bex helped more than I could count, but she only needed to step in when I took on Lex or my uncle.
As for my brother, I tossed him around like a rag doll a few times. It all got too much when Sofia came to watch. After a few failed attempts at getting me down, he ran after her and has been with her ever since.
They seemed to have rekindled as I have caught them making out the last few times when I have headed back to the house after training.
As training has now come to an end, my thoughts are on the Luna ceremony.
I was excited to take the position, and I even have a few ideas of how to help the pack members. But there was a part of me that was anxious.
Yesterday, Alpha Frank received some information and was told that the Elders would attend. Everyone who was sent an invitation was coming, all alphas and their Lunas.
I was nervous about learning about the Elders coming.
Alpha Frank told us they were intrigued to know what I could do.
I know I would love to meet Elder Issac, but after the last time, he would be the one that I would bring into the ring to fight, which regarding what Alpha Frank told us, I might have to hold Lex back, too as he wasn’t too thrilled to hear the snide comments about me.
I was doing this ultimate fight to prove that I was no Luna to mess with if they ever attacked the pack. And I was going to damn well show them.
All alphas and their lunas seemed to be in the same boat as the Elders, but some had heard the tales from rogues that fled onto their lands about what had happened. I guess they were coming to have a show to be proven right.
Luna Stephaine and Alpha Dean have come by and even watched the training. I was so happy to hear that they were expecting their first child. Luna Stephanie went over everything that was intended for the Luna ceremony that I should include, but I surprised her when she went through the whole book that Sofia created, which helped her out.
Luna Stephanie wanted to know what my dress looked like, but like everyone else, she will have to wait till tomorrow.
Sofia designed it all for me, and I must admit, it turned out better than I ever expected.
I was pulled back from my thoughts as I heard the front door open.
“Rox,” called out Sofia. “Where are you?”
“My room,” I yelled back.
I heard her footsteps come up the stairs, and she burst through the door with a beaming smile.
“The dress is downstairs,” she said. Her eyes scanned over me, but her face changed as she took in my appearance and frowned.
“You okay?” she asked as she walked over to me.
I sat on my bed in a towel.
I h ad not long gotten out of the bath after a long soak.
I looked at her as she sat next to me.
“Yeah,” I said with a sigh. “Just aching in places I shouldn’t be, but I’m fine.”
Sofia gave me a small smile.
“I couldn’t have done what you have been doing for the last few weeks,” she said. “I probably would be on the floor in a heap.”
I gave out a little laugh.
“You would have coped,” I said.
Sofia gave me an amused look, “yeah, no,” she said. “I would have probably would have given up. I know I couldn’t have fought four people and even won.”
I sighed, remembering my last training session.
Uncle Keith thought fighting four men would help. It was a shock to the system as there were no breaks between each fight, but I managed to fight everyone.
Lex was in my corner, where he would be tomorrow, barking orders on what I should do.
Sofia moved, which made me look at her.
“Get some comfy clothes on,” she said. “We can have a movie night and bed early.”
I nodded.
I knew I had to mind-link Lex about something, so once Sofia was out of the room, I opened a mind-link to him.
“Lex,” I said. “Has your father told you who I am fighting tomorrow?”
“Hey, baby,” his voice rang out in my head. “My father won’t tell Keith or me. Keith has been hassling him, but my father is not budging.”
