Chapter 37: Chapter Thirty-Six

Lucas

Days passed. The pack is training hard as usual. Every morning, the young pups will take the field before going to school. In the afternoon, the elderly is assigned to train. In the evening, the strongest fighting force of the pack trains. Of course, all of them don’t slack on their meditation.

Lilly, on the other hand, tries to avoid me. It's not that she doesn't want to see me. But somehow, she get embarrassed whenever she sees me. It may be due to the fact that I insist on sleeping together every night. To be particular, I ordered her things to be moved in my room. I was firm in my decision, so, my little mate feels a bit of a grievance. As a result, she avoids me in the day time. Whenever I come to our room, I always find her pretending to sleep. I can't help but chuckle whenever I see her like a scared little mouse hiding whenever she sees me.

Ah. My cute mate. Just you wait until all the matters have settles and I will be more than happy to accompany you with a cat and mouse chase.

The four selected wolves by Lilly is training diligently with their meditation. As expected, the one who made a big progress was Tristan. Just this morning I felt an increase in his aura. His black magic is progressing faster than I thought. Also, it is much more stable. In a matter of days I know that he will be able to control it.

Black magic usually influences the mind of its caster into being ruthless. That is why, it was highly abhorred to practice it in the past. Before, all of those who tried practicing black magic became the most ruthless killers or started gruesome wars. That was the reason why most of the creatures forbid practicing it.

Tristan, on the other hand, is different. His aura fluctuation is extremely stable. His heart remains still. I know that Lilly has influenced his will to be steadfast.

As expected. My mate is really awesome.

"Alpha, this is hard. I am very very very confused. I don't know what to do!" I hear a scream on my side and see the curly pup with green eyes sprawled on the grass. He is panting hard and sweat is ll over his face. Beside him are strawberry pup and the black pup. They are practicing meditation.

I lift my brow in question.

"Alpha, it's like this. I tried very hard to sense these elements! But I am still very confused." Ah, I see. So this is what his problem is.

"You know, I sense green energy. But when I try to summon them there's this blue ones who tries to come and join so the green ones are interrupted! I tried doing this for a million times already but I still can't do it." He pouts. The pink pup is looking to him worriedly. The black pup, on the other hand, doesn't seem like he cares.

"That's because you have affiliation with two elements. You say its green and blue. It's wind and water. You should try controlling one of them first, then the other. Otherwise, you will not be able to control them both." I answer him. I am starting to regret again on not telling all of this to Tristan so he can explain on my behalf. It's because, whenever I have time to tell him, I always get lazy.

"Two elements? Then I'm more awesome than you?" Ethan exclaims. The pink pup gasps and looks like she wants to strangle the green pup.

"You're wrong." I answered him. More awesome than me? You are too young and it is still too early for that.

"Usually, wolves who can sense elements can sense multiple of them. The fewer the elements they can sense, the stronger each elements can be." I softly say.

"Wolves who can control only one element are very rare and very strong." I smirk at him.

That's right. Me and your Luna are one of a kind.

"Then.. alpha.." Tristan, who is behind me, reacted.

Ah, that's right. This guy also controls one element.

"Yes. That's why you should stay steadfast. Never be influenced by it." I tell him while looking at the young pups who are being brutally trained by Annie.

"I will not disappoint you and Luna." Tristan says. I nod at him in approval.

"Then I should just call the wind first and tell the water to come later?" Ethan enthusiastically ask. I seems like he isn't a bit dejected with what I told him.

"Haha I know now! Come forth oh wind and hear my call. Water you go out later. Come, come give me some wind!" Ethan stands up and loudly shouts.

What is wrong with this noisy pup?

Tristan was about to reprimand him but I stopped him. It's because I feel a slight fluctuation around the green pup. Soon, wind starts blowing in his direction, making his clothes flutter.

At first, everything, including the noisy green pup, are quiet. But when he realizes the breeze came from him, the noise pup let out a big shout that almost killed my ear.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" An ear piercing scream is heard in all the entirety of the field.

"AHHHHHHH---"The annoying green pup is about to repeat his scream when Tristan smacks his head with his fist.

"Keep quiet, you're annoying the alpha." Tristan said.

The noon is about to come, so I spread my consciousness around the territory to find my mate. She hid from me again this morning. But since it is the weekend, she doesn't have school and can't use school activity as a reason for avoiding me. Right now, she is probably hiding somewhere in seclusion.

*Found her.*

My feet immediately move once I sense her aura. She is near the falls behind the hill. As I thought, she again hid from everyone.

It only takes me a minute to arrive at my destination. I see Lilly sitting on the side of the falls, her hair is being carried by the strong breeze coming from the water falls.

She looks so beautiful and serene.

"Come." I hear her softly say. Suddenly, a breeze calmly arrives near her. Lilly lifts the book she is holding in the air and let go. The book, defying gravity, remains suspended in the air. Then, I see my mate let out an enchanting smile.

"Lilly." I softly call her as I approach near. Lilly seems to be startled by my call. Then, she has gotten red.

"Hi." She whispers back and I sit in front of her.

"Are you hungry?" She seems to become busy with her book.

"Yeah.. I mean, not yet." She answers absentmindedly. "Ah, actually, I want you to look at this please."

I nod. It's taking all of me to restrain myself from taking her in my arms.

Me. My blushing, beautiful, adorable mate. Water falls. And no other person.

Thinking about this already makes me excited. I completely blame this to my hormones.

Thank goodness I am the King of Self Control.

Lilly stands up and raises her palm. Her face contains concentration. I feel energy fluctuation around her as the wind starts forming at her palm. Then, she shoot the wind to the nearby tree. The tree receives the impact and is dent by an inch.

I smirk at the scene. She can already control the wind in this manner.

"Astounding." I compliment her. My mate once again turned beet red.

"Ah. Thank you.. Also.." She replies and I patiently awaits what she wants to say.

"This week, I was not hiding.. I just tried not to be seen with you because I get embarrassed that we are sharing a room." She starts explaining herself.

It's true that we are sharing the room now, but I have maintained my distance to get her to be more comfortable with me.

However, l know exactly why she is explaining herself to me.

"My love, don't worry. I won't break down again without reason." I answer her, fully knowing that she is worried that I will become emotional again if I think that she might be rejecting me.

"Okay." She replies. Not denying that I guessed correctly.

Between us, there is no secret, no misunderstanding.

Lilly approaches me, and with a flustered face, hug me. I immediately react and wrap my arms around her. Neither of us talks and just stays in each other’s arms. Both of us fully know that our feelings are known by the other.

And this feeling that I have right now, I think it's the best in the world.
