Chapter 47: Training With The World Champion (47)
I love Australia with all of my heart so when my sister suggests I train with her and her mate I welcome the opportunity to stick around. You would think I would want to train with my dad or Grandfather. I just really wanted to be in Australia. I love it here. The sun, the water, the ladies. Before you get all upset about my desire for the ladies let me just tell you I am waiting for my mate. She will be the only one near all this. Ok that's a bit much I guess.
I am tall with dark hair and I have mixed eyes. One is blue and one is green. Most people couldn't notice my eyes because I cover it well. My curly hair is to my shoulders because I love long hair. I will only cut it if my mate requested I do so.
Being here to run and work out with Ken has my body chiseled. I feel amazing and because I need to impress my mate I have been working out. I live with my Sister Anastasia. She is a Royal like me, a Luna and an Alpha. She has 7 pups too. I've had my hands full helping her with the pups but I actually found that I love it. I truly am thankful, that I found I want lots of pups of my own.
My brother Wilson will most likely be the heir to the throne because we all have settled into our lives away from the palace. I just want to find my mate and settle down here in my sisters kingdom. I will be happy just being here. I pray that I get to stay.
I woke up this morning smelling vanilla sugar cookies. It is so good it makes me feel like I'm starving. I wonder what is going on to make my mouth water so much. My wolf jumps around in my head acting like a starving hound.
I ask my sister if we have visitors. "Oh Russell I completely forgot to tell you. Yes the Melbourne pack has sent the Alpha's daughter to aid me in herb collection. We will stay out of your way for the most part.", Anastasia said. "She might be my mate.", I reply. "Russell that would be wonderful, she is an amazing person. Come meet with her. I will introduce you. ", Ana makes me blush.
"After Ken and I finish training, you know that it's important to me. Plus it will be good to see what my wolf wants when we run.", I reply. "You're right that is a good idea. I too would love to see your wolf again. He is the most beautiful Alpha I have ever seen. I think that Clementine would be in awe of him as well. Please let Declan join us in the garden after your run.", Ana makes me smile.
"Ken this better be good because I think my mate is waiting for me in the garden.", I start punching right away. Ken circles me and I never take my eyes off of him. I feel a second warrior watching my back. This tells me Ken is upping my training. We will soon start team training on a stronger level. I watch Ken and feel for the warrior to come closer.
The warrior lunges for me at the same time Ken does. I fake a right and go left. The warrior hits Ken with his body. I hear bones break. I am glad it's not mine. We heal fast but it still hurts. I watch for a surprise attack as I offer Ken my hand. "Damn Russell you out foxed us both that time. This is Axel. Axel this is Russell. You two can practice together today and learn how you fight. Then think about how you will face Willson and I tomorrow. We will be team building this week.", Ken explains.
After an hour of training we decide to go for a run. I shift and take off for the North border. Declan runs fast, he has one thing on his mind. Clementine! What will she do when she sees him. Most shewolves are scared of him. They see him as a threatening monster who can't be tamed.
After patrolling the North border, He heads East, then South, as he finishes going West. After running the entire pack lands he goes to the hot springs. His muscles ache but the heat helps. After 25 minutes of relaxation he heads for the garden. We (Declan, Griffin [Griffin is my snake] and I) can smell the vanilla sugar cookies about a mile away. I start to wonder if she can smell me as well.
I walk to the edge of the garden watching her slim figure gather herbs. The sun is reflecting off her hair. The golden ringlets fall at her waist and they bounce when she moves. Her eyes are a beautiful emerald green. The brightest green I've ever seen. Declan walks softly up to her and nuzzles her hand. She shows no fear of him. She stands staring into his eyes. She places her forehead on his and wraps her hands in his fur.
"You are a very handsome wolf, eh? What a patient wolf watching me first to see if I am ok with you. I think you are too smart Mr Wolf. I love your beautiful eyes. Two colors are very rare. Did you know that the legion is that the two colored eyes are because the soul has two parts? One part is very hard and fearless and the other is very romantic and generous. The werewolf you, has two souls, will rule with an iron fist because of his 2 sides. He will be able to feel both sides and war will be easy for him. His mate is said to have the power to bring his soul together in peace. She is said to be able to understand his need for war too. I think she is the lucky one because she will be the one to rule beside him in peace and war. What do you think Mr Wolf? Am I lucky?", she walks away from Declan looking back over her shoulder like an invitation to join her.
I love her already but I still have to introduce her to Griffin. I can't let her think the wolf is all I have to offer. Griffin comes forward and slithers into the kitchen following her. He comes up to the table where she is sorting herbs beside my sister. "Hi Griffin did Declan enjoy his time with Clem?", Ana asks. Nervously Clementine puts her hand out for Griffin. "I have never seen a creature like you. Declan is your wolf and Griffin your snake. I really can't wait to meet you as well. Your sister has told me so much about you Russell.", Clementine says.
I tell my sister I'll come back after a shower and I shift into my wolf. I shift into my normal young man self before I get into the shower. My mind is trying to process my mate is down stairs waiting for me. Does she feel it too. I shower and put on clean clothes. Walking down stairs my mind is flowing with questions.
The minute I see Clementine all my questions fly right out of the window. Her skin is kissed by the sun. She looks breathtakingly beautiful. I smile at her as I walk closer. She is looking into my eyes without breaking contact at all. It's like she is looking at my soul. I ask her to join me in a walk to the training grounds.
We walk hand in hand. I knew she was amazing but watching her reaction was priceless. She never missed a beat. Anastasia mind links me that Clementine isn't 18 yet so she may have some pull but she won't know she is my mate until she comes of age. I can't tell her and I have to wait.
For now I train with Ken and yearn for her. We exchange numbers and I text her often. Anastasia invites her over often and I do as well. When Ken holds the Winter Ball I invite Clementine right away. She said she will wear a brown dress with amber crystals. My Tux is Black but my shirt is amber. My tie and cummerbund is brown. The night of the dance I shine my shoes and slick my hair back.
When I see Clementine my eyes about bug out of my head. Her dress hugs her body like a second skin. Her curves are delicious and her body is tone. The back of the dress is 3 chains with amber stones. The zipper is on the side of the dress and falls in line with her bottom. I'm happy that she doesn't have a tattoo on her ass. I really don't like them. I think that small meaningful ones are ok but I don't want them all over her. Her skin is flawless.
We walk into the ballroom and all eyes are on us. I let a low growl claiming Clementine. She smiles up at me. She feels good in my arms even if I can't claim her by mating or marking her. I plan to ask her to marry me. I hope she says yes.
When the dance is over, all the pictures taken and the snow is falling I get down on one knee and purpose. "Clem baby will you marry me if we are mates when you turn 18? I fully understand if we aren't but I love you so much. I want everyone to know how much I love you too.", I beg with my voice tone. "Yes Russell I will marry you!", she stares into my eyes with love.
I slip the Chocolate diamond on her finger and pull her into my arms as I rise from my knee. We dance without music in the snow. Then I whisk her up into my arms bridal style to carry her to the house. I don't want her to get cold.
When we get back to the house I offer to cook food. She agrees to eat whatever I can cook. I make meatball subs with gouda cheese and mozzarella cheese. We eat chips and drink beer with them.
Anastasia suggests we watch a movie so I put in a classic Christmas movie (Elf). We giggle and laugh at all the funny scenes. Then I take her up to her room and say goodnight. I brush her lips with mine before she shuts the door. I lean my forehead on the door and sigh.
I up the training with Ken, we spend hours everyday on the training grounds. Team fights, singles and sparring. I have become the top warrior, second only to Ken. His Beta can't whip me anymore. I also have found than I am good with strategies for fights. It's like I see moves in advance and build a defense move that can take out teams quickly.
Clementine visits often and I go to visit her as well. I very rarely kiss her and when I do it's only to brush her lips with mine softly. One I want to wait until she knows she is mine and two I've been waiting on my mate before I become sexually active. I just want our first serious kiss to be when we both know that we are mates.
I have already decided that I want to live in Australia but I haven't joined Kennedy's pack. I still need to talk to Wilson and my parents about it before I make any changes. This involves the throne and I can't refuse it before I talk to my mate. So, for now everything is on hold.
I have talked to my GrandPa some and my sister too. She suggests that I talk to Clem first. Then Wilson and last my parents. Clementine has every right to want us to claim the throne. I think she will want to live here but I still need to respect her opinion. My brother Wilson also will have a part in all of this.
If Wilson refuses to take the throne then I will no longer have a choice. One good thing about mates and brothers we can all find away for us to work this out.
