Chapter 37
NATALIE'S POV:
Beta Steven and his mate Anna started with my training, from the very next day.
I woke up early in the morning at five am. Honestly speaking, I could not sleep the entire night due to the restlessness I was feeling. I don't why, but I was getting intuitions, that something bad is going to happen. Something, really bad!
I quickly took a bath and wore a fresh pair of clothes. When I was combing my hair, there was a knock at the door.
I opened the door and found Anna, standing with a tray in her hand.
"Breakfast!" she told in a low voice.
"I am not hungry,” I replied.
"Natalie, you are starving since yesterday. You have not eaten a single bite,” Anna told.
"Trust me, I don't feel like eating,” I replied sobbing.
"Natalie, I know you're worried about Alpha Theodore, we all are worried about him! If you want to get him back, you have to learn to fight with the evil brothers. I will tell Steven, not to train you, if you don't eat anything,” Anna told sternly.
I looked at her with tears in my eyes.
"I know you are our Luna. I should not give orders to you, or talk to you in this tone. I am sorry for this,” Anna told bowing her head.
"Anna please don't apologize. Why are you even respecting me? I do not even deserve to be a Luna. I am a bloody fool. My mate, your Alpha is in danger just because of me," I told angrily.
"Natalie, just stop blaming yourself for everything. Have faith in the moon goddess, have faith in her plans. Everything is going to be fine,” she told lovingly.
"I really hope so,” I replied sadly.
"Now quickly have breakfast. Steven is waiting in the backyard for us so that he can start with your training,” Anna said.
I nodded and had my breakfast silently.
As I reached the backyard, Beta Steven asked me whether I was ready for the training.
"Yes, I am ready," I replied.
He got transformed into his wolf form and pounced upon me. His wolf was huge, black in color. While Anna started to train me, to combat with the wolf.
"Natalie if the wolf is going to pounce upon you, you have to kick him so hard, that he falls on the ground. Come on, kick him," Natalie said.
I followed her instructions, and kicked Steven's wolf so hard, that he fell on the ground wincing in pain.
I immediately got up from the ground and went to see whether he was fine. But again, he pounced upon me and pinned me back to the ground and I winced in pain, as I hurt myself badly. Steven transformed into his human form and offered me his hand to stand up.
"Natalie, if you want to defeat the evil brothers, you have to be heartless. They are wicked and cunning Natalie. Imagine, if it would have been Carl, or Abraham, or any other wolf from the evil pack, and not me, they would have pounced upon you and would have killed you right there," Steven said.
"I can't be a good Luna. I am not capable of ruling the pack. How will I save my mate?" I cried, falling on my knees.
"Luna Natalie, do you know who you are?" Beta Steven asked.
I looked at him with tears in my eyes and he continued-
"You are a healer. The destroyer of evils. You are underestimating yourself. You are capable of more than you think you are. You just have to learn not to trust everyone. You cannot be sensitive to everyone,” Beta Steven said.
"Exactly Natalie, you are brave, but you are naive. You are strong but you are sensitive towards others. You are not able to recognize, who is good and who is evil," Anna added.
I wiped off my tears and looked at them.
"You know the first thing you should learn, is to be strong. Even if you feel the urge of crying, you should not cry in front of others. You should not show your weakness to others," Beta Steven said. "Now, no more crying, and let us continue with the training,” Anna said.
I dusted my clothes and I stood up again. This time determined, and firm.
Beta Steven too, transformed into his wolf form again. No sooner had he pounced upon me, I kicked him and he fell on the ground, but he stood up again in no time.
He pinned me to the ground but I kicked him again and he fell on the ground. I did a somersault and stood on my feet again.
Suddenly a white wolf pounced upon me from behind and pinned me to the ground.
Anna told, "Natalie, the evil brothers are very cunning. Come on, fight this wolf too.”
I rolled on the ground, pinning that white wolf under me.
Beta Steven attacked me from the back. I yelled in frustration, "This is not fair, it's cheating,”
"You have to be very alert. You have to train your senses, particularly your sense of hearing. Mistakes are forbidden here. Even a single mistake can be the reason for your death," Natalie shouted.
I hit Steven's wolf with my elbow and stood up on my feet again. Steven's wolf and the other white wolf surrounded me.
I took deep breaths.
"Focus Natalie,” I muttered to myself.
When Steven's wolf pounced upon me, I kicked him so hard that he fell on the ground. I did the same thing with the other wolf, but they were so fucking strong. They stood up again.
"What the hell?" I yelled in frustration.
"Natalie, the evil brothers are not only cunning but also strong. Defeating them is not that easy task,” Anna shouted.
Steven's wolf and the other white-colored wolf, both pounced on me together and I fought them bravely.
Steven transformed into his human form.
"I am impressed, Luna. Though you are not a wolf, you gave a tough fight," Beta Steven said smiling. The white colored wolf transformed into a beautiful girl. She was in her thirties.
"Hello Ada, how are you?" Steven asked her.
"I am good Beta Steven, how are you?" the girl who Steven mentioned as Ada replied.
"Hello, Ada," Anna said smiling.
"Hello, Anna. How are you? I hope this Steven, is not fighting with you anymore. If he does just tell me, I am going to beat him,” Ada said smiling.
"No, No, Ada, he loves me a lot,” Anna said blushing.
"I always loved you baby, and shall always love you," Steven said winking.
I whispered to Anna, "Who is this girl?"
"She is Alpha Ada of the Crescent Moon Pack and Theodore's best friend,” Anna said.
I don't know why, but I felt a pang of jealousy, listening to Anna's words.
"Natalie, don't worry, Theodore is just a friend of mine, he considers me as his elder sister,” Ada replied smiling.
I smiled back.
"I must say, you are an amazing fighter,” Ada said
"Thank you,” I replied.
