My Mate's Betrayal

Chapter - 4 The special training

Alkira's pov-

"Thirty rounds of the ground in human form, and after that, meet me right here." I gave orders to my warriors.

"Yes, alpha." They said in unison and went their merry way.

'Last night was fun. We bonded with our people at a new level. We created a special bond, and their love slowly patched up our broken hearts. It will take time to heal ourselves fully, but with these people, I think we will be able to recover.'

'You are right, Sira. With these people, we will heal.'

'And we will protect them with everything we have got. We can't lose them either. It will be too much for us.'

'I know. That is why we do this once a month to increase their strength and test their minds. How they will react under pressure, check their development, and lead them in the right direction. It is necessary.'

'Yes. It is. I need to talk to you about something, but not now, later. Okay.'

'Okay.'

It was 11 o'clock in the morning. The summer sun will do well for their exercise. I thought to myself.

"Alpha, I just finished hiding all the blood and color-soaked clothes," Xavier informed me.

"Good," I said dismissively.

But he did not go away. He just stood there with questioning curiosity.

'He will not leave until we answer some of his questions if not all of them.'

Sira was right. But I had previously made up my mind about telling him my plan this time as I needed his help.

"Xavier.." I called his name, catching his attention.

"There is no need to hide anything from me. If you want to ask something, then ask away." I said in a monotone, which delivered the message Don't beat around the bush.

"Alpha, I am not questioning what you are trying to do. I trust you completely."

He paused for a second to collect his thoughts. He knew I was watching him intently. It is usual for him to sweat a little over the words as he is talking to his Alpha.

I have told everyone to be frank with me. No need to hesitate to ask me for something. But still, me being an Alpha, everyone was a bit afraid of the power that comes along with the title. Nobody knows I have Alpha blood running in my veins, not that it mattered as I was not the eldest.

The power that comes with Alpha's blood is passed to the eldest child. So, being the daughter of an Alpha only raised my social status and nothing more. I did not want to acknowledge the truth as it comes with another bitter reality: now I do not have a family. Only a handful of people know about my parents being Alpha and Luna. As for the rest of the pack, I am just a girl from another pack who lost everything in a rogue ambush and has carved a place for herself here with her persistent efforts and diligence.

"I understand most of your plan, Alpha. Clothes soaked in blood and color will sharpen their senses. But I fail to comprehend why the clothes are soaked in your blood. Please tell me about your plan."

I detected a bit of pleading in his last sentence. I turned to face him and raised my right eyebrow, clearly telling him that I noticed his slip-up of emotion. In a war zone, we have to mask our emotions. Showing our feelings will only get us killed.

His face was composed, but his ears turned a little red, giving away his calm facade.

"No need to worry, Xavier. I am telling you about my plan at least this time." I added the last part to clear any misunderstanding that might come to him if he thought this would happen again, as it would not.
