Chapter 55 Chapter Fifty-Five
"Because you helped me. I have been trying all day and I couldn't do it. I couldn't even get close. Then you came home and helped me. You talked me through it, you helped me change back. I literally couldn't do it without you." Leilani says, as she squeezes me tighter.
I put my arms around her, giving her a gentle squeeze as I rub her back. "I'm just here for support babygirl. You did it all on your own."
"Can we try again?" She asks suddenly sounding excited and proud of herself.
I smile at her. "Of course babygirl, we will keep practicing for as long as you want. We can stay up all night if you want to."
Leilani pulls back from me and smiles. "I want to keep practicing until I don't have to hear that bitches name ever again. I want to be able to change without being mad."
I want that too, more than she knows, maybe even more than she does. "Okay baby, let's get to practicing."
We spend the rest of the day and part of the night practicing. We try all different kinds of techniques to help her change without using the one name that pisses both of us off. We also practiced helping her change back, including not changing back when she isn't ready. We even try combat training. I allowed myself to be hurt a few different times to see if she would automatically change back and the very last time she didn't.
Around one o clock in the morning we were fighting each other and I let her break my arm. Calling out in pain, even though it really didn't hurt that bad. I could tell she desperately wanted to change back, but she didn't. She controlled the change. After I healed and I nodded to her, she changed back.
I was so proud of her I scooped her up in my arms and carried her inside, giving her a long intimate massage to help her relax before bed. Well honestly, it was very relaxing for the both of us. She always insists on taking care of me with a hand job or a blow job, even though I tell her she doesn't have to.
Leilani still tries for sex every night and every night it gets harder and harder to tell her no. I want her so damn bad, but I don't want anything getting in the way of her training. Especially not with her Alpha ceremony coming up soon.
She is going to have to be one hundred percent ready for the ceremony. Otherwise the pack members that don't believe in her abilities are going to try and tear her down before she even gets a chance to prove herself worthy. Which is something she should not have to do, but pack rules are stupid and archaic.
The next couple of weeks are spent practicing her gifts over and over again, until she is comfortable with them. By the end of her training she is in full control of her gifts, at the least the parts we know about.
For now we know she is capable of super healing, becoming extremely strong and fast. Even her senses become more enhanced than normal wolf capabilities. She is one of the best warriors I have ever seen, she would probably even be able to take part in the ceremonial fight. I haven't told her about that part though. I know she is capable of handling herself, but I don't know if I can handle seeing her being hurt and not being allowed to step in.
Wednesday morning we wake up early, something we have started doing without even meaning to do it.
"Good morning babygirl." I whisper when Leilani starts shifting around in my hold. I have been watching her sleep for about fifteen minutes now. She looks so happy and peaceful when she sleeps, like she doesn't have a care in the world.
"Good morning." She whispers, still sounding sleepy.
"How did you sleep baby?" I ask, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Leilani turns a little where she is looking at me. She gives me a sweet smile. "I slept good. I always sleep good when you are holding me."
"Me too. I always sleep good when I'm holding you baby." I lean down and give her a passionate kiss, making her moan softly. My hand finds the back of her neck, twisting my fingers in her hair. Her hand rubs all over my chest and arms, going dangerously close to my morning boner. I keep kissing her, allowing myself to enjoy this feeling before I have to stop myself from going to far.
Something that literally takes every drop of self control I have. Especially when I wake up to her soft sexy ass pressed against my erection, only separated by the thin material of my shorts or boxers. I pull away from the kiss and she groans disappointed.
"Malakai, why did you stop?" She whines and I smile.
"I didn't want to babygirl but we have some stuff to do today."
Leilani furrows her eyebrows and looks at me confused. "What are we doing today? Are we doing more training?"
I smile. "No babygirl. You are ready."
"Ready?" She asks, confused.
I smile proudly. "Yeah baby, you are ready to take over as alpha."
Her eyes go wide. "No, no I'm not. I don't think I'm ready yet."
I chuckle giving her a peck on the lips. "Yes you are babygirl. I have to talk to your dad this morning to finish out the last few details but you are ready. Your Alpha Ceremony will be this Saturday. It's time, I will give the order to start preparing the ceremony today."
She shakes her head. "No. That's to soon. I can't do it."
"Yes you can baby. You are ready. I promise. I wouldn't let you go through the ceremony if I didn't think you were ready. I will be there with you, all you have to do is mentally prepare yourself and figure out who you want your Beta to be babygirl."
"Can't it be you? I don't want anyone else to be my Beta. I don't trust anyone else enough to be my Beta." I hear the panic in her voice and I smile.
"Of course it can be me babygirl, if that's what you want."
