“So, you are not wearing it anymore?” Vic asked me about the necklace.

“Nope. Whatever my mother tried to guard me from, I’m done with it. I’m mated to an Alpha bear and I’m getting stronger myself as well, day by day.” I said and shook my head.

I also had decided to never wear it again, as I wanted to be able to defend myself should Dennis come up with some other sinister plan to get me out of the picture.

“Well alright. It has been three days since you went to the hospital, so let’s see what you are capable of.” Vic smiled.

I was surprised of my own body as my collarbone had already been healed. While swinging my arm in circles I wanted to make sure that it was completely alright and didn’t hurt anymore, which it didn’t! Happily I jumped up and got ready for whatever training Vic wanted to give me.

She sent me off to do an obstacle course, which I finished in good time; Then we were going to use weights and Vic got a little surprised to see that I could nearly lift the amount of weight that she uses on a daily base as warm-up; And at last there was combat training, where things got rather interesting…

“Fuck!” Vic cursed as I had landed a punch in her stomach. She toppled backwards and landed with her ass on the ground with her head against the edge of the arena ropes. “Where did that come from?!” She yelled as she crouched herself together and stood up again.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to hurt you!” I begged for forgiveness as Vic wiped away a strain of blood from her chin, as she probably bit on her own tongue from the impact.

“Sjeez, you getting marked by my brother must have energized your body a lot!” Vic said with a slight smile and a blush filled my cheeks.

Last night had been another amazing night, where Jack skipped his duty to do perimeter runs, to stay with me. Well, stay with me? We almost needed another new bed, because Jack had shown me every corner of it and it hadn’t been rather carefully either!

Snapping me out of that thought, I quickly looked around me, making sure that no one had seen what I just did. If Dennis would find out that I could do this and that I had more strength than I could ever think of having, then he would certainly change his strategic plan.

There were only two more weeks before Dennis was about to sell me out to my father and I had to get ready for it. Jack had explained that he was planning something, but that his plan wasn’t complete yet, so he urged me to get as strong as possible without the knowledge of Dennis, in case his plan wouldn’t work out.

I didn’t mind getting stronger, I actually loved it that I could defend myself a little better now. But, knowing that there was also an alternate reason for my training got me angry as well. No one can touch Dennis and that is getting me worked up!

“Come, let’s get inside before anyone sees you.” Vic said as she skimmed the treeline, making sure that really no one saw us.

Inside the tent there was a punching bag and I needed to work out some of my anger, so I walked over to it and started to punch it. Hit after hit I got more stimulated to hit harder and harder. My breathing got heavier, my heartbeat picked up and I just hit the bag even faster. By now, the bag was swinging back and forth, but each time it got near to me, I just kicked and punched it again.

That moment where Dennis had told the pack where I came from was flashing through my mind and I had gotten more furious by each second that that memory played on as a movie. “Because, who wouldn’t want to have the daughter of the gracious Damien Deveraux, as their own Luna!” He had said, and with that feeling I embraced every cell in my body, took a steady stance, waited for the bag to come swing my way again and when it reached the centre I pulled my arm back and gave it all I had.

In slow motion, I saw my fist puncturing the bag, ripping through the fabric with ease! This hit almost felt like I was hitting butter, as it wasn’t hurting me and it wasn’t feeling like I did this at all! My mind was stunned by my strength, but I wanted to make sure that I indeed hit through the leather, so I pulled my fist back and sand came pouring out.

My mouth opened, my eyes grew wide and while I was still breathing heavily and sweat was dripping down my forehead, Vic came into view.

“What the…” She whispered with a stunned facial expression. “First you hit my stomach in a twist and now this?” She said as she touched the edges of the hole in the punching bag.

It had been a few days after the punching bag and me and Vic had been training endlessly. But right now we were trying to do something different.

“Hundred-forty pounds?!” Vic said surprised when I lifted it with ease.

“Hundred-sixty pounds.” Vic smiled as I did that with a little difficulty.

“Hundred-eighty…” She looked at me… well I don’t know how exactly. “Are you kidding me?!” Vic shouted and looked at me with an amazing smile now.

I dropped the weight and it landed the ground with a heavy thud. I couldn’t believe my own eyes when I just was able to lift this amazing weight! Vic said that her record was one-sixty, so I had just broken her record. Mind you, it wasn’t easy, it had taken me each and every ounce of strength to do it, but still, it was really something else.

My strength had increased a lot the past week and it only kept increasing. It was almost as if my body wanted to get rid of the years that I had missed out on, on training. As if it was trying it’s hardest to gain every lost inch of muscle, in one go!

I loved the fact that I was strong, really strong, but as it is growing this fast, it was draining my body of all its energy. There is still a lot to gain, especially endurance and level of energy, so I’m still far from the maximum capacity of a normal female supernatural. I could only keep up my strength and agility for a short amount of time, where Vic for example, could do this for several hours.

So, cardio is the next thing on my to do list, running and swimming is what I’m going for.

Jack

I smiled when Doreen dropped her body on the bed. She had just taken a shower and had exhaustedly grunted to move herself to the edge of the bed and was now laying naked on top of the sheets.

The necklace was nowhere to be seen for almost a week already and her body had been changing a lot, as muscles and a fresh gain of weight had altered her total appearance. She was almost starting to look like a normal woman to the bear community now and her beauty was radiating off of her.

She had been beautiful before all this, but seeing her as the strong, confident woman that she is now, as she didn’t mind to walk around naked with me in the house as well, she was even more enticing than ever before.

I put my mobile phone back into the drawer, as I had finished my call, when Doreen was done showering and stepped from the desk. I stalked my way up to the bed where Doreen’s feet were over the edge and stood in between them before I climbed over her body. While placing soft kisses on her butt, back, shoulders and neck, her skin shivered and little moans came from her throat. Her body was still a bit wet from the shower, so her slippery skin was sliding easily underneath my fingertips.

“Jack, I can’t tonight…” She moaned. “I’m too sore!” She complained.

Even though I wanted to have her around me, screaming my name as I pounded into her, just like every other night since her collarbone had been healed, she couldn’t go for it now. She was too exhausted, so I chuckled and decided that she needed to heal from her training. The blankets pulled aside, I shifted her body underneath it, tucking her in and gave her a kiss on the forehead. It didn’t take long for her to fall asleep, as moments after she had started to snore.

It was actually better that she was asleep so soon, as now I could spend some time working on a strategy to work Dennis out of my pack in a safe way.

“Bertha, have you found some people for my plan?”

“Yes, several are here already and I’m waiting for several more to respond. It will cost you some money and favours to them though.” She replied.

“I don’t care about that, the pack and their Luna are more important.”

“I know. How’s our Luna anyway? I saw her the other day, she is getting stronger, isn’t she?” She asked.

“Yes, she is doing well. I might have to slow her training down, or I am forced to tell what that witch had said.” I replied and wanted to say that Doreen could also start to wear that damned necklace again, to restrain her from getting stronger, but I doubt that she would want to do that.

I know that I have urged her to become stronger as I wanted her to be able to defend herself in danger. But there was still this information that I knew about her and her abilities, something that could also be really dangerous…

Besides, I’m still a bit reluctant to believe what that grey-haired woman had said to me, but if Bertha believes her, then I’m going along as well. The woman had explained about herself that she is one of last remaining witches of an old coven on another continent and that there weren’t many covens remaining on the whole world either. Bertha had gone through hell and back to find this one witch, but once she knew what it was about, Doreen, she had been eager to explain a lot of things to me.

But I can’t tell Doreen anything yet. She is not ready for it, it is all going too fast for her if she learns about this too. So, all I can do now, is keep an eye out for her and make sure that if she gets angry, it won’t take over her mind. Her fury is going to be really dangerous and I can’t fear her with it, now that she has been so stabile.

“Alpha! Hunters on the north side!” One of my lead warriors suddenly linked me.

Fuck! I have work to do, I can’t deal with this now! Besides, why would they attack now? Didn’t Dennis make a deal with them? Quickly, I had commanded for three warriors to get here as soon as they could, to keep their Luna safe while I jumped out of my desk chair and leaped downstairs. The men would arrive here soon, so I might as well shift now and get my way north as fast as I can.

“Dennis, what’s going on? Why didn’t you link me?” I shouted right after I was running on all fours.

“Because I’m fighting those bastards! Get your ass here!” He replied and I growled displeasingly, for him to have that kind of attitude towards me!

I ran and ran and kept going north until I heard my bears growling and tearing. Guns were shot and agonizing screams were heard. Quickly, I found my way around and several other of my men joined in with the rush, lunging ourselves towards the hunters while killing and slicing them apart.

But there was something off, just like last time. There were just a bunch of hunters, but they were organised in a different attack, they didn’t move forward and try to claim more ground, instead they moved backwards and picked up more weapons as they had stashed them behind trees. They were constantly luring us towards them and keeping us busy…

Fuck they are a distracting us!

“Dennis where are you?!” I linked angrily, as I didn’t see him near any of my bears, or me.

A/n: He is up to no good...
