~Mordikai~
After Alistair marked Amorelli, he let me take control again and we went up to bed. Currently, Amorelli is cuddled up into my side and I'm playing with her hair. I sighed as I kissed her forehead and groaned as I looked at the time. I needed to get up soon. Arianna had gotten the siren and it was currently on her way here. The arrival of the siren wouldn't be for another couple of hours, but I also had to watch training today and help out. I knew Diesel wouldn't be able to do it forever. I have to help out as well, along with train myself.
I looked over to Amorelli and saw that her hair was spread out all over her face, and I heard the quiet little snores that escaped her. I chuckled as I brushed her hair out of her face and placed it behind her. She mumbled in her sleep and I chuckled again before I kissed her forehead. She smiled before her eyes started to flutter open. She looked up at me and I smiled before I kissed her nose.
"Good morning, my love. It's time to get up now." She nodded and sat up. She groaned as she stretched and I couldn't help the growl that escaped me when I saw her exposed breasts. She giggled and kissed me softly. I growled and pulled her closer to me.
"Why are we up so early?" She mumbled as she covered her mouth to yawn.
"Well, we have to start your training, and I have to overlook the warriors training as well. I've been putting it off for too long." She nodded and stood up and stretched. I growled as her bare body was displayed perfectly in front of me. She laughed and shook her head once more before she walked into the bathroom to shower. I walked in behind her and she turned on the shower to let the water warm up. She looked in the mirror and smiled at her mark. I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her cheek softly. I felt her heart beat faster and she turned around to look at me. I kissed her softly once again before we stepped into the shower. I wet my hair first and she did the same after I was done. I grabbed her shampoo and started to squirt some into my hand when she spoke up.
"You're going to wash my hair for me?" I nodded once and put some more shampoo into my hand before putting the bottle on the side of the tub.
"I get to wash yours when you're done." I chuckled.
"Alright love, if that's what you want." She giggled and we washed one another's hair. After I did her shampoo, she did mine, then I did her conditioner and she did the same in return to me. She kept slapping my hand away and laughing as I also tried to wash her body. We got out and I dried her off with a towel. She wrapped it around her and walked into the closet. I did the same thing and picked out a pair of basketball shorts and a black undershirt. She chose a pair of shorts and a sports bra but was also looking for a top. I growled and nipped her neck. She squealed and laughed as I pulled her closer to me. I would never get enough of the tingles that went through me as we touched. She finally pulled out a red tank top and I noticed that it showed a lot of her cleavage.
"You're not wearing that," I growled out and she gave me a look that obviously said 'Who the fuck do you think you are'.
"Um, I decide what I am wearing to training, not you. Besides, you're wearing a tank top as well and the women love muscles. So, don't even go there." She walked out of the closet and I groaned in annoyance. I wrapped my arm around her waist and she sighed as I rubbed her back gently with my thumb. Everyone that passed us bowed in respect. I'm glad that everyone was accepting of her. We made our way into the kitchen and I made us breakfast. I made a lot of food because I knew she would need it for the babies. My heart fluttered at the thought of having a child. I couldn't wait for her to give birth to our children. After I gave her her plate of food, I walked to the cabinet to grab two very large water bottles and filled them with ice water. After that, I joined her and ate my food. Diesel came into the room and smiled at us.
"Alpha, Lu-" He paused as she gave him a stare. "Amorelli, good morning." Diesel still bowed and Amorelli giggled. Diesel was dressed in shorts and a white t-shirt.
"Are you training this morning, Alpha?" I nodded as I finished taking a sip of my orange juice.
"Yes, and Amorelli will be joining us today. I do not want her participating in the war, but I need her to be able to defend herself." Diesel nodded and Dimitri came in with a cell phone.
"Queen Amorelli, your grandmother is on the line." Amorelli smiled and ran over to the phone.
"Hello?" Amorelli asked and I could hear her grandmother speak.
"Amorelli, how have you been darling?" Amorelli smiled wide, it was her father's mother, Marylin.
"I'm great. I'm starting training today. How is everything with you guys?"
"Well, your father is currently being held in the dungeons, awaiting his trial. Which, you do need to be present for honey. I know you don't want to see him, but it is law. Also, I wanted to know if your grandfather and I could stay with you guys for a while so I could help you control your powers with your mother." Amorelli squealed a little and looked at me. I nodded and gave her a small smile. She knew I was listening in to the call.
"Yes! That would be wonderful for you guys to come here! When is fathers trial anyway?" Amorelli fumbled with the hem of her tank top and I noticed she was a little nervous.
"It'll be after the war is over and once the princess' are returned to their families. We were also wondering if we could send our troops to the surface to you guys to help them train? Your brother Lyle will also be coming since he is in charge of training the warriors, as well as next in line to the throne." Amorelli smiled and looked at me again. I chuckled.
"Amorelli, anything involving your family, you make the decisions. Whatever you want you will get." I spoke as I kissed the top of her head and she gave me a wide smile.
"Yes, you guys are more than welcome here," Amorelli looked outside as the warriors were making their way outside for training.
"I have to go now grandma, but I will see you guys when you get here. I love you, and I'll see you soon!"
"Alright dear, be careful, love you too." With that, Marylin hung up and Amorelli squealed in excitement. She giggled and I put my arm around her waist.
"So, since you have never trained with us, just watch what we do for a little while. Then, I'll meet up with you after an hour or so so I can help you. If you want for that hour, you can have your mother start to help you with your powers?" I asked her and she nodded. As soon as we exited the palace into the training grounds area, some women stared at me. I growled lightly and picked Amorelli up.
"Mordikai!" She laughed and I chuckled lightly. I felt the angry glares the women we sending me and my mate and I only shook my head.
"What did you do that for?" Amorelli asked as she stuck her head out. I felt her stiffen as she saw the women glaring at her.
"Oh." Amorelli got out of my arms and walked beside me. She thought for a moment before we heard thunder. However, there were only clouds around those women. Lightning struck around them and they were becoming soaking wet. The girls screamed as Amorelli smirked and let the rain stop after a few moments. I heard their growling and chuckled.
"You mess with the bull, you get the horns. Stop acting like fucking children. Now, go get changed into dry clothes and get your fucking asses back out here. If you aren't here in two minutes, you'll all be running thirty laps around the track. Understand?" I growled out and they showed their neck in submission. Amorelli smiled and walked over to a bench to watch us. Two minutes later, the group of girls came back out except for one. She was struggling to get her clothes on correctly when she hobbled out. I made the 'tsk' noise and sighed.
"Thirty laps, all of you." The groaned and started running the thirty laps.
"Diesel, do you mind counting the laps they do? I don't want them quitting early." Diesel bowed slightly and walked away to watch them. He even had a clipboard with their names and everything to keep track of them. Ariana came out a few moments and sat with Amorelli. They sat across from one another and they looked like they were meditating. I smiled and walked over to my men.
"Alright! Listen up!" Everyone looked at me for a moment and straightened up.
"You've all had your time to stretch. If you didn't stretch, tough shit. Your warm-up is to run around the track fifteen times. Then get together with your assigned sparring partner and start the basic routine. Work on your defense and offense. Go!" I spoke the last word with my alpha voice and they all yelled in unison.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
"Yes, Alpha!" With that, they were off. I knew I could count on them not to slack off by running less than fifteen laps. They knew the consequences of doing so. I sighed as I did my stretches and ran around the track. I knew I would finish before them, so I gave them a head start. I knew it took them at most ten minutes to run around the track, and it took me only five to seven minutes, depending on how I'm feeling that day. I finished after a few minutes and took sips of my water. I saw Amorelli was being lectured by her mother about her powers. She took great interest and you could tell she was giving her mother her utmost attention. I chuckled and sat next to her. Amorelli gave me a quick smile and returned talking to her mother.
"Alright, well, now that you know the basics about your powers, show me the most advanced thing you can do, and we will go from there," Ariana spoke up and Amorelli nodded. She thought for a moment before she stood. Amorelli looks at a flower bed and took in a deep breath and then let it back out. She focused her energy over the flower bed and a rain cloud appeared. The rain poured over the flowers and after a few moments, she let up and looked toward her mother. Her mother was very impressed.
"That's wonderful darling. What are some small things you can do?" Ariana asked and Amorelli immediately made eating utensils. She giggled when her mom took one and stuck it straight into the ground. I chuckled and looked at the warriors. Most of them were done their laps and working on their sparring. I noticed how Dimitri was waiting for me. He was usually my opponent in sparring and I stood up. I kissed Amorelli's head and sighed.
"It's time for me to get back to work. Love you," I kissed her softly and walked over to Dimitri. We bowed to one another and got into a sparring position. We worked on blocking and different fighting techniques. After another ten minutes, the girls that had to run their thirty laps finally finished. I scoffed as I saw them lay on the ground. I growled and Dimitri and I stopped sparring for a moment. He shook his head and sighed. I spoke up.
"Alright boys, take five," I growled in anger as I walked up to the group of girls who were being lazy. The rule is, you're supposed to train every day, even if it's just running or doing obstacle courses. Obviously, these girls didn't do shit. They saw me walk up to them and quickly stood on wobbly legs. I growled out to them, and they let their heads drop, they were mostly embarrassed because all the attention was on them.
"You all are supposed to train every day. Why the fuck, does it look like you haven't done shit for months?" I could tell Alistair was coming out, and I didn't give a fuck. He knew how important this was to us.
"We're sorry Alpha, we do train though!" One girl spoke up and I snarled at her.
"Alright, give me your daily routine then." I crossed my arms and she cleared her throat.
"Well, every morning is like usual, we eat breakfast and get ready to train. We start off with yoga for an hour or so to help with our flexibility. Then we work on meditation for another hour or so." I growled.
"That's it?" I roared out and I mentally said fuck it and let Alistair come to the surface.
~Alistair~
"Firstly, it shouldn't take that long to do yoga. Secondly, there should be no reason to meditate. The point of training is to train with your partners and learn more fighting skills; how to perform and perfect defensive and offensive skills. To gain muscle by going to weight training every other day. Meditation isn't fucking training!" I roared and they screamed.
"Do you understand how important this is? Not just to us, but to everyone else? If my warriors are not fucking training, and we go to war, you will die first! You won't just humiliate the kingdom, you'll be a disappointment to the pack, as well as to your family! If we go off to war and everyone finds out my men and women have been slacking, they will never count on us again, and we will lose the allies we have worked hard to get! Not to mention, you will be destroying the hopes of every princess in there of every getting the fuck out of that hell hole! Not to mention, YOURS! My own sister!" I roared again and they were crying from fear. It made me happy to know that they were scared shitless of me.
"If you don't get your fucking asses in shape by the end of the fucking week, you can forget about being warriors, you'll just be regular omegas, regular pack members. But do not think for a second that I won't ruin all of your reputations in this pack! I will let everyone know how you disappointed the kingdoms and the packs by not training properly. Do you all UNDERSTAND!" I was on the verge of shifting and felt the fur starting to come out of my skin. They all showed their neck in submission while still crying. I growled in anger and felt my arm start to tingle. I knew Amorelli was trying to help me calm down, and I was grateful because I almost killed those girls.
"Get the fuck out of my sight, NOW!" They all scrambled away and I was taking in deep breaths. Amorelli appeared in front of me and she looked surprised.
"Does that not hurt love?" I knew she meant my fur and my half-shifted body. I mumbled a growl in response. She sighed and looked at my men.
"Carry on everyone. Alpha Alistair needs some time to cool down. Dimitri and Diesel, carry on with the session." Diesel and Dimitri bowed and smiled at her before they spoke.
"Yes, your majesty." They all carried on and I pulled Amorelli close to me. I growled and took in deep breaths. She pulled away a little bit to speak.
"Would you like some water dear?" I nodded once, not trusting my voice. She nodded and stepped away and cupped her hands. I looked at her confused until water started appearing in her hands. My eyes went a little wide and she held her hands to my lips. I growled and nipped her hands lightly before I drank the water. I was really thirsty, and she kept replenishing the water.
After a minute or so, I was better and had completely calmed down. Amorelli rubbed my arms lightly and kissed my cheek.
"I hope you're feeling better now Alistair," I nodded and sighed. I took in another deep whiff of her scent before I pulled away from her.
"Yes, thank you." She smiled and kissed me softly.
"You're welcome, love. Now, you get back to training, and I will see you soon so we can start our lesson." She smiled and kissed me one more time before she walked back to her mother. They continued with their lesson and I returned to Dimitri. He bowed and I returned it. I sighed as I let Mordikai take back control.
~Mordikai~
The training session for today didn't have any more interruptions. After another hour, I told my men to make their way to weight training, and after an hour or two of that, they are done for the day. They walked off toward the palaces gym and I walked over to Amorelli and Ariana. They giggled and I gave them a puzzling look.
"What's so funny?" Amorelli stood and looked at me.
"Hey, did you want to shower by ay chance? You must be sweaty." I crossed my arms and looked her up and down.
"I mean, yes at some point today I would." I trailed off and she smiled.
"Say no more!" She made a huge ball of water and I knew where this was going.
"Amorelli," I warned her but she giggled. She then raised the water above my head and held it there.
"You won't like what I'll do if you do that." She paused and thought about it, but since she lost concentration the water fell and soaked me. She gasped and her mother laughed. Amorelli covered her mouth with her hands.
"Oh my god, Mordikai I'm so sorry!" I growled and ran toward her, but I stopped short as she made a shield of water around her. Her mother held her heart and I knew she was proud. I smiled and poked the water shield. It didn't budge and I chuckled.
"Good, you did exactly what I thought you would." She looked at me confused.
"Huh?" She sounded a bit muffled and I chuckled. She removed the field and let the water soak into the ground.
"I wanted to see what your first reaction would be. A little piece was hoping you'd try and attack me, but I'm glad you did something rather than nothing." She smiled at me and I smiled back.
"Alright you two, I'm off to see Mariana. Have a good day while training with Mordikai honey, I love you." Ariana and Amorelli hugged and Amorelli replied with her own 'I love you too'. Ariana made her way back to the palace and I growled while picking up Amorelli. She laughed and hit my back with her fists. I chuckled and slapped her ass as I put her down. She blushed and I kissed her forehead.
"Alright, shall we get started?"
--
It's been a couple of hours since Amorelli and I started, and I could tell she was exhausted. She was pouring sweat and every time she moved she winced from her sore muscles. I sighed as I neared her. Her legs were wobbling and she couldn't help but fall into my arms.
"Well, I didn't realize I'd have you falling for me all over again," Amorelli lightly hit my chest and groaned. I picked her up and she placed her head on my chest.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Since you're new to this, we will train every two days. However, I still need to go train with my warriors every day, especially when your family's troops come to join us." Amorelli mumbled and as I carried her into the palace, I bumped into Zinniah and Serge. Zinniah gasped and ran to Amorelli.
"What happened to her?"
"She's fine. We were training today and we overworked her. She just can't walk right now due to her sore muscles." Serge walked over with a worried look on his face.
"Well, you should make sure she's well hydrated after this, and fed well. You don't know how the babies are handling this." I became stiff as I thought about it. We're the babies okay? I'm sure they weren't hurt because it was still pretty early in the pregnancy, but now I'm worried. I nodded once and made my way to our room. I sat Amorelli on the toilet seat and started running up a bath for her. I linked Jamie to make us a feast for us two because we were training, and he happily obliged. I looked at Amorelli to ask her a question.
"Are you craving anything right now?" She thought for a moment before speaking.
"Watermelon, Coca-Cola, and fried eggs." I chuckled.
"Very specific," She shrugged and I stripped Amorelli down and placed her in the tub. She let out a loud moan of satisfaction and I laughed. I got rid of my clothes as well and hopped in behind her. I heard someone bring the food into our room and place the trays on the bed. I then heard them walk out and I relaxed once again.
After our bath, Amorelli and I got out of the bath and wrapped towels around ourselves. Amorelli still couldn't walk right, and I had to carry her to the closet. All she chose was her thin robe, while I put on some boxers. I laid her against the headboard and I fed her the food that she was craving. After we were both done eating, I put the trays aside and put Amorelli under the covers and joined her after I hung up her robe. She snuggled into my chest and I chuckled. She put my hand over our babies and I rubbed her stomach softly. She hummed happily and I kissed her forehead.
"Mordikai?"
"Yes, my beautiful Queen?" She smiled a little before yawning.
"I have a few names in mind," I smiled and continued to kiss her forehead.
"Well, what are they?" She smiled again before turning around to become the little spoon.
"Onyx, Maddox, and Knox. I know two are boy names, and one is a girl's name, but that's the combination I think we'll have." I smiled widely.
"I love it. Those shall be our children's names then." She nodded and yawned again.
"Sleep baby. I will wake you up when it's time to get up." She nodded and just like that, she was out like a light. I got comfortable and ended up falling asleep not too long after she did.
