Death Wolf Saga
Death Wolf Chapter 29

I hesitate, seeing the huge crowd in front of me. My footsteps slowing down as I took in the rows of warriors standing there, with hands behind their back and pose stoic.

“The second rule of fight is to identify your opponents weakness. No matter how great of a fighter your opponent is , remember everyone has a weakness.”

Jason was standing in the center, addressing the warriors and I gulp feeling out of place. They all, even the girls we so toned…wearing sports bras and fittings pants…..while my clothes were so baggy….a worn out jogger with holes in it and an oversized hoody, hiding my thin frame and bruises below.

“You need to attack at that-“

His words stop as he took in my presence. Noticing my awkwardness.

“Thora. You may join the third row. At the end.”

He says and I see almost everyone turn around to look at me. My anxiety sky rocketing on being the centre of their attention.

Lowering my head, I rush towards thr end of the third row, to hear them now gossiping.

Isn’t she the one who was punished

That’s the slu* of the pack

I thought she was banished

Likes of her are going to train with us now?

“Silence!”

Jason speaks in his Beta voice and silence follows. All the gossips dying down.

He clenches his jaw, and looks at me one last time. Before continuing again.

“Third rule. Never get distracted. A distraction of a second in a fight can cost you your life.”

“Now let’s begin with today’s session.”

“Row 1 . 20 lapses. Start.”

The first row begins jogging, the second row follows and finally my row.

I cross Jason to have him nod at me and I smile back, going for the jog.

If it wasn’t for Jason. I can’t imagine myself being here and surviving this.

30 minutes later

How can these people have so much stamina! Damn! I am almost at the end of everyone, breathing heavily.

My lungs ready to burst and my legs aching. Staggering as I struggled to catch them and reach the starting point.

I finally finish last to have people look back at me and snicker.

I just lower my eyes, feeling ashamed of myself.

This is going to be so difficult….I was no where near them.

How….how will I compete with them….let alone win against the best of them.

I see Jason approaching me, looking down at me with concerned eyes.

” Are you fine?”

“Yaa..I…am good”

I say looking up at him. Trying to catch my breath.

Nodding he turn around, clapping his hand, to get back everyone’s attention.

“Pair up everyone! Let’s begin.”

I look around to find everyone getting together in pairs. While I look around lost.

Not knowing what to do. What if the person is very powerful…what if they hurt me.

“Don’t worry Thora. I am your partner.”

Jason says and relief floods my insides. Nodding, the training begins.

.

.

.

.

Everyone leaves and the training ends. I lay on the ground, breathing heavily. Holding my head. To only have Jason crouch next to me

“How bad am I?”

“Your stamina is very low, your strength is almost non existing and you don’t know any of the technique.”

“That bad?”

Jason hmms , smiling sadly.

“However, despite all this. You have a quality that no one here has.”

“Endurance.”

“Which alone shows that there is alot of scope for improvement.”

I wanted to chuckle at this. Atleast the tortures and punishments at Landon’s pack gave me this advantage over others.

“I…can’t Jason ….I ..how can I compete with them? They…they are way more powerful.”

“We will train and you will become stronger Thora. These people have been training for years while you just joined.”

“We only have 2 weeks Jason.”

He runs his hand through his hair, tensed himself when his eyes cloud for a second, a mindlink.

The mindlink ends and he gets up , offering me his hand.

“Come on. Rest for a while we will discuss this later.”

I nod, taking his hand and getting up.

Walking back towards the pack house.

“You got a mindlink?”

“Yaa. The Alpha wants me back in office. Something urgent came up.”

I barely nod, walking back. When suddenly I feel a heated stare on me. Looking up, I was surprised to see him standing there at the window looking down at us.

My heart thudding rapidly in my chest, feeling his grey orbs fixed at me.

I match his stare, clenching my fist.

Since how long has he been standing here?

To only have him turn around and proceed inside. Ignoring me.

The rejection…the disappointment…I felt it all again and I see the dark clouds again surrounding us. And the voice again speaks in my head.

He thinks you are weak. He is ashamed of you.

I again feel tears sting my eyes and I clean them before Jason could see them. The mild clouds of dark smoke appearing around us to only disappear.

When I decided to ask Jason, to clear my doubts.

When I decided to ask Jason, to clear my doubts.

“Jason…do you felt something around us to weird. The Aura. Did you find it change?”

He looks at me confused. To only lift up his head and look around.

“No. Why? Is there something.”

I knew it. I shake my head in a no.

“Nothing.”

I knew it was in my head. The voice of this death wolf… it’s only inside me. And the clouds and voice a hallucination.

Jason stares at me for few seconds but doesn’t say anything. He must be feeling pity. I know.

What better was a rejected Omega like me…. except being pitied at.

“Thora listen. Don’t go into the forest alone okay? Stay in your room today.”

I merely nod. I was not planning to go anyways.I was too tired to even move a muscle.

He goes inside and I was going towards my room. When I see some maids running around. Looking worried.

“Hey! What happened?”

I asked them to look at me in surprise.

“Girl you don’t know! There are rogues near the borders! Everyone was asked to remain indoors.”

That explains the mindlink Jason got and why he asked me to stay inside.

Sighing I just go back to my room in the attic.

Closing the door , I still when I sniff a mild flowerly scent in my room.

Someone was here.

And that’s when my eyes stop at a piece of paper on my bed and I pick it up.

“Will meet you at our favourite place at 6

– Friend”

There was a small smiley with the scribbled words and I smile.

Elora

This has to be her. The girl is adorable and the only source of my happiness in this dreading place.

Placing the note in my pocket, I picked up my jacket to meet her.

When the realisation hits like a strike of thunder.

The favourite place… it’s the small playground near the pond where we first met…..and it’s in the centre of the forest.

Fuc*!

It’s a red alert! The rogues are just near the borders.

The thought of something happening to her, made my heart to drop and legs move. The fatigue all forgotten as I rush down the halls….with them staring at me like I am crazy.

While everyone was returning back, going upstairs.

I push them to go down.

I need to save her.

The only thought in my mind as I sprint towards the empty forest, with the howls of rogues echoing in the deadly silence.
