SWNOVELS Chapter 131
Chapter 0131
Clint calls us together and the warriors circle around Cara and I. I’m more than ready to spar with my girl. While I know this won’t be her strongest showing, I have no doubt that she’s going to make me work for this win. And I will win.
We start off, sizing each other up. Throwing punches and kicks, testing reach, speed and flexibility. After a few minutes, we start going hard. We’re about 20 minutes in before I throw my signature move. Going for the uppercut, I see her anticipate and duck, landing a hard blow to my sternum. Damn my girl can throw a punch.
“You’re pulling your punches Alpha.” She says, slightly winded.
“Don’t want to injure my girlfriend little guardian.” I reply as I try to sweep her legs. She leaps to avoid the takedown. She gets in a hit but doesn’t take me down.
We go back and forth, and I can see she’s wearing down. She’s knocked me off my feet several times and I’ve taken her down several as well, but neither of us has gotten the pin.
The fatigue is starting to show as her movements have slowed slightly. Now is the time. I have no intention of prolonging this to the point of her exhaustion, so I take an opportunity to swipe her legs and immediately pin her body, my hips pinning hers, my feet pinning her thighs as I use my size to pin her arms over her head.
The warriors begin cheering. Cara is panting heavily as I smile down at her. What I didn’t expect was for Artemis to push forward and for them to bare their neck to me. Complete submission. The warriors go still. There is not a sound as Kai pushes forward and leans down to gently nip her exposed throat, accepting her submission. Then I pull him back and I kiss my way to her mouth before kissing her passionately for all to see.
I pull back, looking into her shining emerald eyes. “You’re mine now little guardian.”
“Want to know a secret Alpha?” She asks, a cunning grin on her face.
I nod. “I was going to agree either way.” She whispers so only I can hear her. “I just wanted to spar with you.”
Shaking my head, I get off of her and give her my hand to pull her to her feet. We’re both still breathing heavily, but she turns to Dean. “Time?”
“Seventy–five minutes Cara.” She smiles. It was a good match.

“Alright, the rest of you lazy wolves that call yourselves warriors have 45 minutes to run the obstacle course. I suggest you get started.” Clint shouts out.
The warriors take off, leaving the three of us alone. “Nice job, both of you. You’re done for this morning Cara. Both of you report back here after school for afternoon training.”
I head back to the packhouse while Cara goes to get ready for school. The extra time this morning will give me an opportunity to follow up on my plan for Cara. When I get to my room, I put in a call to King Ailduin. He doesn’t answer and I leave a message.
Afterward, I get ready for school and head down to the dining hall just as the other warriors come in from training. They all look wiped out but several come up and congratulate me on my win. Chase smacks me on the back. “Way to get your girl Alpha.” He says. And I watch as his eyes track Lacey walking up to get breakfast.
“Speaking of getting your girl, I’ll catch you later.” I watch him go over to Lacey. She still seems resistant, but if I had to guess, I’d say she’s gone from icy to lukewarm. Oh yeah, my boy always gets what he wants.
School is just like it was at the end of last week. I’m walking Cara to all her classes, kissing her every chance I get.
After school, I’m really excited to train with Cara having Clint give us individualized training. It’s intense, but Cara is able to hang in and so do I.
The week goes along like this and I’m spending so much time with my girl. Kai is as happy as I am.
On Thursday at lunch, Cara asks if I’m going to come for dinner. I finally got ahold of Ailduin last night. He was resistant at first, telling me his debt was paid and he owed me nothing. But when I told him I wanted to bring not one, but two Guardians with me, he changed his tune very quickly.
