VICTOR'S P. O. V.
The day of training has been eventful. We had a few wolves break out into fights over who was the better fighter. Of course our trainers had to exercise their dominance, Olivia included. Each time she would spar with one of her students I had to hold myself back from going ballistic and beating the shit out of all of them. She is good though, I knew she was. I wanted to fight her just once to see how she would be against me.
I have a feeling that she would beat my ass. I watch her now getting out of her training clothes as she goes to step into the shower. I would very much like to join her, but I figure that she might need a bit of rest. How she drives me crazy. I feel like a kid in a candy store and she is the best candy on the planet. She tastes so good too.
Before she steps into the shower she looks at me and then after she steps in her hand pops back out and she gives me the come get me fingers. Oh, goddess this woman is going to be the death of me. I can't believe I get to be with this vision for the rest of my life. I silently send up a thank you to the goddess as I strip my clothes faster than a cheetah chasing a gazelle. In the shower I spot Olivia with her hands behind her head running the water over her hair. Her chest is sticking out. I grab a sponge and apply the soap, I begin washing down her body. She opens her eyes and smirks at me.
"I thought you could use a shower, you smelled after today."
"Ha, ha. You know why you really called me in here."
"Of course I did. We may not have much time to be together. I mean after tonight, things could be different."
"Don't say things like that. You make it sound like I am going to die." I am still rubbing down her body, she has shifted so that I am rubbing her back. I am taking full advantage of this.
"But what if…"
I cut her off and spun her around. "No what ifs. I will make it back tonight. I don't care how many I have to kill. I am not losing you now. I just got you back. I am not going to be without you. Besides, I need to be around to see our pups."
"Victor, I am just being realistic. I know this can't turn out well. I just want to be prepared."
"Baby, don't just don't worry about right now. I am here now, I am here with you and there is nowhere I would rather be." I pull her body to me. I just hold her, we stand there in the shower just holding each other. I don't really know how long, but it is obviously long enough for us to start pickling. "I think we may need to get out of here."
She let out a small chuckle. "Yeah, we might start growing gills if we stay in here much longer."
I exit first grabbing towels for both of us. I watch as she wraps a towel around that gorgeous body of hers. I pull her over and lift her in my arms. I carry her over to the bed and lay her down. I curl up next to her. As naked as we are, we are just content with holding each other. We both know that I might die tonight, it's a war it can happen. I don't want us to dwell there. I just want to be with her. If I do die tonight I want to know that the last thing I did was hold this woman.
The time ticks away and it is now time to get ready for the meeting with the Rogue. I would rather stay here, but I know that isn't an option. We untangle ourselves from each other and start to get dressed. I start to feel like I am getting dressed for my own execution. I don't like this feeling. I would do anything to not feel this way.
I can tell that Olivia isn't feeling much better, she is dressing quietly. Occasionally I catch her sending me a look. Like she is silently praying that I will come back to her. We remain silent for quite some time then there is a knock on the door.
I answered it to find my father there waiting. "Hey, dad. We're just about ready." I turn around to Olivia and she gives me a nod, like I am as ready as I'll ever be. "Alright so let's head out." I put my hand on the small of Olivia's back only for her to reach back and grab my hand. She intertwines her fingers with mine. I give her a small squeeze of reassurance.
"So, are you going to head out from here or the college?" My father asks as he leads down the stairs.
"I am headed out from here. I have to lead our troops." I answered and glanced at Olivia to see what she was doing. She looks lost. She doesn't know what to do or say I can tell. I wish I could fix this for her. I smile at her. "Hey, babe it's going to be alright don't worry."
"Yeah sure." She half smiled and shrugged. Like to say, cut the shit. I love this woman she has always seen through anything I say or do. I am not going to let this be our last moments together. I am going to make it back to her.
I make sure to give her a kiss and send her off with my father. I know he will protect her. Then I link my pack. "Alright warriors, meet me on the west side in your fur, it's showtime."
I don't shift, the Alphas are supposed to be in skins. I still run at top speed to get to the meeting point. When I arrive I am greeted by my pack. They look at me with respect. This makes me feel a little better to have this many wolves look at me like I am someone who can lead them. I am fueled by their loyalty. I will win this. I will make it home to Olivia.
I link with them. "Tonight may not be easy. I know the rogues have been training, hopefully we can come out of this situation peacefully, but we all know there is a chance that we may not. I know that each and everyone of you are skilled warriors and will do your best to protect your pack. I am honored to be fighting with you this evening. Let's make those rogues wish that they have never set foot on our land."
I let out a howl that was echoed by the wolves around me. This is the best sound an Alpha can hear. I love that feeling that they are filling me with. We are giving each other the power that we need to get through this.
