CHAPTER 5: MINE

Chapter 5: Mine

Lucia's POV

"Who wants to go first?" the man in front shouted. Eris told me that he's a head warrior.

Pinag suot ako ni Eris ng sweatpants at sports bra bago pumunta dito. May konting kasikipan ito sa'kin dahil sa pagkakaiba namin sa pangangatawan. Mukhang mas matanda lang sa akin si Eris pero maliit at may pagka balingkinitan ang katawan niya. Agad niya akong hinila sa field pagkatapos mapilit na suotin ang damit. Kanina pa kasi ako tulala nang maipaliwanag niya sa akin kung ano nga ba talaga sila. I've read some books before about werewolves. The words that they're using here have been mentioned a lot on the books that I've read. There's still a part of me that doesn't believe her. It's really impossible. Ano ba 'tong pinasok ko?

"Ikaw!" napatalon ako sa sigaw ng lalaking nagsasalita sa harap. Kanina pa ako nakayuko dito sa kinatatayuan namin. Hindi lang dahil sa kaba at takot kundi dahil na rin sa mga lalaking halos naka hubot-baro sa paligid namin. Ang iba sa kanila ay kanina ko pa napapansin na pasulyap sulyap sa akin.

"Come here" napatingin ako sa kan'ya at nakitang nakaturo siya sa akin. Kumalabog ang puso ko sa kaba. Napalingon lingon ako sa paligid. Hindi alam ang gagawin.

"E-eris anong gagawin ko?" mahinang bulong ko dito.

"Pumunta ka nalang sa harap" bulong niya pabalik.

Nag aalangang naglakad ako papunta sa harapan. Pinisil pisil ko ang mga daliri ko sa kaba at takot. Nakayukong huminto ako sa tapat ng head warrior.

"Who wants to fight her?" sigaw ulit nito. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa narinig at nanginig ang mga tuhod ko sa takot. What?? Fight me?

"Uh p-pasensya na po pero hindi pa ako marunong makipag laban" mahinang wika ko.

"This is the first step of the training. Lalo na sa mga katulad mong tao at walang karanasan" matigas na sagot nito. Tao... That means totoo talaga ang sinabi ni Eris? Ano 'tong pinasok ko? I think I'm going crazy! After escaping my father this is what going to happen to me? Being a slave, training for war and surrounded by wolves? Oh god.

"Ako" napaangat agad ako ng tingin sa narinig. Nahanap ng mga mata ko ang isang lalaki na nagtaas ng kamay. Nakangisi siya habang papalapit sa unahan. Matalim na nakatingin sa akin ang kayumanggi niyang mga mata. Tingin ko ay matutumba na ako sa unahan sa labis na panginginig ng aking mga binti.

"Simulan niyo na" sambit ng head warrior at pagkatapos ay iniwan na kami sa harapan. Pinalibutan naman kami ng iba pang mga warriors. Naghahanda ng manood para sa laban.

"Lucia lumaban ka!" narinig kong sigaw ni Eris galing sa audience. Napalunok ako at kinakabahang napatingin sa kaharap.

"Get ready to get beaten up" he smirk. Nanginig ako sa takot at napaatras. Hindi pa ako tuluyang gumagaling at ito ang bubungad sa akin? Wala na bang mas ikasasama ang buhay ko? Sana napasama nalang ako kay mama...

"Maging malakas ka anak"

Napapunas agad ako sa tumulong luha sa pisngi ko. Narinig ko na naman ang boses ni mama sa isip ko...

"Don't hold back Steve" narinig kong sabi ng head warrior. May balak ba silang patayin ako?

"Get ready" he whispered. He then kicked me in the stomach that made me fell on the floor, hard. Napahawak agad ako sa tyan ko. Narinig ko naman na nag cheer ang mga nasa paligid namin. Aambahan niya naman ako ng sipa ng bigla akong gumulong kaya naiwasan ko ito. Kailangan kong lumaban dito kung gusto ko pang mabuhay.

"You won't able to avoid this one" he said and blow a punch in my face. I was about to dodge it but I felt a sudden electric charge through my body. The slight shift in my focus causes me to take a hard hit in my jaw, and before I fell to the ground I heard a loud growl, that's like music to my ears.

Morgan's POV

I saw her again at the dining hall. I inhaled sharply, stopping short when I caught the most heavenly aroma. She smells like strawberries. It was completely intoxicating. My breath hitched when I locked with her eyes. Those beautiful hazel eyes. Zeus immediately perks up knowing that our mate is just near.

"Let's go to her" he whined. I quickly shakes off my thoughts of her. I won't give in to this mate bond. It's just making me weak.

"No" I said firmly.

Zeus got livid and immediately tries to take control. He was about to go after her when I saw her leave. I immediately force my wolf to take off the control and run towards my office. When I got to my office I lose control as my wolf takes over.

"The fuck man you're a mess" Klaus said as he stared at me on the floor.

My wolf just calmed down an hour later.

"Ano ba kasing nangyari?" tanong ni Randall. Kausap ko siya kanina bago ako tumakbo papuntang opisina kaya agad nilang nalaman.

"Nakita ko siya. I refused to go after her. My wolf got frustrated" paliwanag ko.

"Sinong siya?" Nakakunot noong tanong ni Randall.

"His mate" sagot ni Klaus.

"How did you know?" I asked him, confused.

"It's really obvious" he smirk.

He really know me too well huh.

"Why did you refused to go after her? She's your mate dude" Randall said.

"I already told you. Mates are just weakness" I snorted before standing up.

"Let's go now to the training field. We're already late" I said in an authoritative voice. They immediately nodded, kicking by my alpha command.

"I'll let your office fixed later. Let's go" Klaus said as we head to the training field.

Nang nakarating kami nakita namin ang mga nag kukumpulang pack warriors. Pinapalibutan ang kung ano. As we got closer I paused before the strong smell of fear hits me from behind the warriors. When they saw us they immediately made way for us and bow a little bit. All the air is knocked out of my lungs when I saw the girl in front.

"Mate!" Zeus immediately claimed.

"Shh shut up!" I yelled at him as I focused on the fight in front. I glanced at Klaus and Randall and saw them smirking. I just ignored them and focus on her. Both Zeus and I are on high alert as we look towards the cause of our mate's fear.

I clenched my fist as I saw the young warrior trying to punch her. I'm having a hard time controlling Zeus not to take over again. I think our mate sensed our presence that's why she got distracted. I couldn't prevent the loud growl coming from me when I saw her getting punched in the face and fell on the ground, unconscious.

Before I can even think properly I have the young warrior's throat in my hands as I lifted him up off the ground. He stared at me with fear in his eyes as I start to speak to him.

"Try to do that to her again and I'll rip your throat and heart off of you" I growl and let go as he falls to the ground.

I turned around and saw Klaus and Randall trying to stifle a laugh. The young warrior is laying on the ground coughing for air. I ignored them and quickly picked up my mate from the ground. I couldn't ignore the sparks that I felt when our skin touches. It's heaven. Fuck.

I immediately headed to the pack's clinic. No one's gonna touch her again. She's fucking mine.
