113 The Aggressive Alpha Werewolves

The same training program resumed as usual the next day for the normal werewolves. Lucien was particularly happy to detect a positive change in the pack members’ mindset, both in terms of confidence and endurance.

At the end of the third part of training on the previous night, it was discovered that the alpha werewolves displayed a huge range of performance, starting from very bad to excellent.

This was naturally an outrageous result that required immediate correction.

Gamma Acatha had come up with a new training regime for specifically alphas. She planned to split the alphas into three groups : the beginner group, the intermediate group, and the advanced group. The training program for each group was tailored according to the abilities of the alpha werewolves in said group. This was done to ensure that everyone got just the right exercises to build their muscles and endurance.

“This is good,” Lucien commented when he read through the proposal that Gamma Acatha had prepared diligently overnight. Gamma Acatha beamed at the compliment.

“Then, I shall proceed, Alpha.”

“Hmm, please do.”

It was only for the war, but Lucien still felt weird when the others addressed him as the Alpha. He felt like he didn’t deserve it. It for sure did not make Catherine Clearwater more fond of him. The elder woman made sure to give Lucien an evil eye whenever their gazes met.

After Gamma Acatha left, Ronan came over and sat next to him.

.....

They exchanged a peck on the lips.

“Good morning.”

“Good morning,” Lucien said in response. “We are continuing with the training today. Acatha made some impromptu changes after what happened yesterday during the hunt.”

“Sounds good. The representatives from the fourteen packs are due to arrive today. I checked with your mother and she said that she had already prepared the necessary accommodation. Let’s have a strategic meeting to discuss our preparation tonight.”

“Alright.”

Speaking about preparation, Lucien had something else in mind.

“Can I come to your room tonight as well?”

Ronan almost choked on his spit. Lucien gave him a look full of expectations. Ronan never felt more miserable. He did not think that he had enough self-restraint in him to prevent himself from attacking Lucien for real, should they repeat the same kind of “training” that night.

“About that. Maybe we can do it differently.”

“Like what?”

“Let’s have a practice fight instead. The kind of stimulation that you will experience during the war is not a sexual one after all.”



Besides, Ronan did not want Lucien to start developing the habit to suppress his scent when they were in bed. He loved inhaling Lucien’s fresh orange and honey scent during sex.

Thankfully, Lucien agreed.



Best

“Oh, alright. Makes sense. Maybe we can do that for the other alphas too.”

“Yep. And do that in wolf form.”

“Oh, good call.”

Lucien started to make some notes at the bottom of Gamma Acatha’s proposal.

“Can we arrange to have cross-pack training once everyone arrived?”

A gentle smile appeared on Ronan’s face.

“Why not? It is a very good idea. And do you know what this reminds me of?”

Lucien chuckled. Of course he knew what Ronan was referring to.

“The Alpha Camp?”

“Yeah.”

Lucien only visited the Alpha Camp once, so he only had precious memories from that one year. Ronan, on the other side, visited for many more years. At first as a camp participant and later as a mentor to the younger alphas.

“We had war simulations a few times, too. They were mostly done to prepare the older alpha werewolves for emergencies.”

“What did it look like?”

“The alphas were split into two opposing groups. Each group elected an ‘Alpha’ to lead the war. The ‘Alpha’ was responsible for setting up the command structure and making the final decision on the war strategy that the group wanted to implement.”

“Sounds good. I assume you played an ‘Alpha’?”

“Yeah.”

Of course he did. The other alpha werewolves did not dare to appoint another one out of fear of offending the Infinite Eclipse Pack. Ronan himself could not care less.

“The other ‘Alpha’ was played by Kinnon.”

Just like the alphas in his group did not want to offend his pack, the alphas in Kinnon’s group also did not want to offend the Night Prowler Pack.

Ronan and Kinnon were put in opposing positions since they were young. It was no wonder that the rivalry between the two packs carried on for another generation.

“How did it go?” Lucien asked with a grimace.

“It always ended with me and Kinnon engaging in a duel.”

“Really. Who won in the end?”

“Sometimes I did, sometimes he did. We usually carried on until one of us was unable to stand properly anymore.”

Lucien widened his eyes in shock. “It was just a simulation! Why did you and Kinnon hurt each other for real?”

Ronan gave Lucien a meek smile. It was not as if Lucien did not know the aggressive nature of alpha wolves.

“It could not be avoided. Lucien, it happens. We were hot-headed young alphas. Our wolves screamed for a bloody fight. We just went along with it.”

Suddenly Lucien was worried about having both Ronan and Kinnon facing each other in the upcoming war. If a war simulation was enough to make them beat each other up, imagine what the actual war could do.

Lucien placed his hand on Ronan’s upper arm and said, “You should not fight against Kinnon at all in this war.”

Ronan took Lucien’s hand and pressed a chaste kiss on his knuckles reverently.

“In that case, then you must not lose against him.”

In a war, the opposing Alphas would engage in a duel. The one to fight against Kinnon would be Lucien, not Ronan.

“I won’t,” Lucien promised.

“If you do lose, I will step in as your second-in-command.”

“We won’t get to that point.”

Lucien was pretty sure that his fight with Kinnon would be less intense than Ronan’s. After all, he and Kinnon used to have a good relationship with each other.

Right?

Heavy feelings settled at the bottom of Lucien’s stomach when he recalled his last interaction with Kinnon during the hearing.

Was Kinnon very offended by Lucien’s decision?

Would Kinnon seek to kill him like he killed Deacon?

The change of expression on Lucien’s face must be quite obvious because Ronan reached out to pat his back.

“Don’t worry, my love. I will always be there to protect you.”

That was exactly what Lucien was worried about.

This was originally the war between the Silent Walkers Pack and the Night Prowler Pack. Whatever the outcome of the war was, it must not affect the Infinite Eclipse Pack’s standing. Lucien was determined to not drag Ronan down with him.
