Chapter 616
“You didn’t think it was going to be that easy did you, Smalls?”
“I don’t think anything about this is easy, Kota.” I laugh, turning over and finally getting my shirt back. I try to maintain my stance and not fight like Elena suggested, but Cam starts towards me again.
Cam swipes at me and we are now both throwing and dodging punches. Being a foot taller than me makes it weird for both of us. He has to aim correctly so he doesn’t hit me in the face every single time and I have to aim higher than normal to hit him anywhere other than in the family jewels. I have decided I rather like them and would like them to function beyond today’s training. He’s backing me up and I can feel Kota behind me and Oliver to my right now. THey are trying to corral me. I let them get a little closer, thinking they have me. My wolf and I dig in and feel the magic just hanging out deep in my chest like it was just waiting to be called on.
It starts slow, unsure, like it’s attached to my emotions. I know we won’t hurt them, but that is always a concern. I never want to hurt anyone unintentionally. I have plenty of people to take my wrath out on that deserve it. I let go of the fear, I have to trust my magic and my wolf to know the difference between people who I care about and people who are enemies. The wind starts to pick up and I can feel the specks of dirt as they pass me to start encircling my guys.
“What the hell?” Oliver catches on first. Of course he does. I try not to let him get too far into his realization so I just amp up the dust storm.
It’s amazing! I’m in the middle of it, but the flying debris doesn’t seem to bother me at all. I can see all of them, like looking through water, but they are all struggling, arms over their faces and ducked down to avoid dirt clods pelting them. It seems I have it contained around the three of them though, sweet!
***”Try to make your sphere around them smaller force them to the ground. With your size this puts them at a disadvantage and in a cage of sorts.”*** Elena coaches me through trapping them and now I smile, this is so much fun and so far, it’s easier than fighting. We’ll see
how I feel when it’s all over.
I think of packing a snowball, keeping my hands domed and pressing in making it tighter and more compact. The three of them get closer and closer, eventually squatting down looking like the tiny animals Elena intended when my wolf and I finally let them up.
“Oh damn, Bitty. You’re going to have to teach me that one.” Oliver brushes dust out of his hair.
“Definitely not fair with the multi
element sneak attack, Smalls.” Dakota smiles at me. “But I like that you can pin people down and out of the way. Is it stupid that I know you are a beast and I still worry about your safety? It kind of makes my head spin.” He grabs me in a hug and plants a dusty kiss on my cheek.
“No, it’s not stupid. She’s special, we will always worry about her safety. She’s our Alpha mate, but also our Luna, the one person we can’t live without turn in Kota’s arms, Cam is talking to him but looking into my eyes and I am locked there. He brushes his thumb across my cheek. “Even covered in dirt and whatever else she threw at us today, she’s perfect.”
“Hey!, back off you had your day. No goo-goo eyes for you.” Dakota pulls me further into him and I laugh.
