The fight morphed from me fighting them in a mob attack to them trying to defend themselves against an unseen opponent. I knocked the first one down, sent the second one flying into the third. I was stronger and faster thanks to my Goddess Guard mark and I was able to move like none of them could. This had actually started to be fun.
But I got cocky and wasn’t paying attention. And the next thing that I knew, someone landed a well aimed kick in the middle of my back, sending me sprawling to the ground.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing, boy?” Bryce was yelling at me while he loomed over me, I had become visible again the moment I fell.
“How the hell did you do that?” I asked him, surprised that he knew where I was.
“You think you’re invincible because we couldn’t see you? Look at the ground dumbass, you’re leaving imprints. I could tell where you were. But I should thank you for showing me where this bunch of pathetic wimps need to be trained more.”
“Glad I could be of some help.” I groaned as I went to stand up. Damn, I think he might have cracked something with that kick. Old man is strong as hell.
“Get up, boy. We’re not done here yet.” Bryce ordered me to my feet and I followed his command.
I was on my feet and looking him in the eyes in just a few seconds, I moved quicker than I thought I would have after taking that blow.
“You want to be with my little girl? You want to be a part of my family? Well then you need to earn it.”
“Yes, Sir.” I answered him right away, my tone respectful.
“You can’t have my daughter until the day you can beat me.”
“What?” I was dumbfounded. Bryce was telling me he wouldn’t give us his blessing until I could fight him and win. This wasn’t good.
So, my days began to pass in a certain type of pattern. I would wake up and have breakfast with everyone, happy to see Emmalee. Then I would fight my way through his warriors until lunch time, which I was not given any but everyone else was. While they all ate I worked on masking my foot prints while I was invisible, at first it was hard but I was gradually managing to do it. After lunch, Bryce would come out and spar with me. I was not allowed to use my camouflage while we fought. He wanted me to be able to fight like a real man.
Bryce was strong and had been in a lot of fights. He managed to knock me on my ass several times. He would throw me across the yard in an over hand throw. He would sweep my feet out from under me in a beautiful and precise sweep of his legs. He would win every time. That’s how it went for weeks.
I was getting better of course. I was watching his movements and learning what he was doing. I would pay close attention to what he did everytime he fought me, even though I lost. I walked away with a lot of bruises at the end of each day. And only after my sparring was I allowed to have dinner with the family. And after dinner, Bryce would drag me to his office to teach me the politics of a wolf pack. What was expected of anyone and everyone inside the pack. And how to run it in general. I didn’t understand that part of my training but I’d take it. The more I knew the better.
I wasn’t getting much time with Emmalee. We had separate rooms, of course. Bryce wouldn’t let us share even if we had slept together already. But, I had been respectful of her and I hadn’t pushed that envelope at all. But, I could tell she was ready, the looks in her eyes and the way she clung to me when I gave her her kisses goodnight.
It was almost the middle of May when I felt I was ready to make my move. I had learned everything that Bryce was showing me. He had begun to repeat his moves now so he must have run through them all.
When the sparring match started we faced each other, hands at the ready. I was feeling light on my feet and fully prepared with all the training I had been doing for the last month. When Bryce came at me, things didn’t go like they used to.
I parried his hand away with my own, spinning around behind him. With a quick motion I managed to wrap my arm under his and in the same movement I rolled the top half of my body. I felt Bryce lift off the ground and onto me for just a moment, before I used the same move he had from before and sent him soaring across the yard to land in a heap.
Bryce sat up and glared at me, his light green eyes full of fire.
“Again.” He growled at me as he rose to his feet.
We fought over and over again. I swept his feet out from under him and pinned him to the ground. I threw him in multiple different moves. I used every trick he had used on me and won every fight.
After the tenth fight in a row Bryce was once again sitting on the ground staring at me. I thought he would be upset. I figured he’d glare and growl at me again. But he surprised me when he looked up, grinning at me like he was proud.
“Now that’s what I’m talking about.” I was shocked.
“What?”
“You’ve definitely improved, boy.” He said as he moved to stand up.
I watched on nervously as he dusted the dirt off his black pants and walked over to me.
“You’ve earned my respect boy.” He clapped me on my shoulder, a grin on his face. “You’re strong and you’ve proven that. I will admit you’re worthy of my daughter.” I was smiling as I heard his words.
“Thank you, Sir.”
“Stop calling me Sir all the damn time. You’re going to marry my daughter one day, aren’t you?”
“If that’s what you want, Alpha Bryce.” I smiled at him.
“Shut it you little shit. Just call me Dad already.” Bryce was laughing at me while I stood there shell shocked.
“Dad?” I asked apprehensively.
“Well, you’ll be my son-in-law, right? It’s only fitting, isn’t it, Son?”
“Yeah, I guess it is, Dad.” We grinned at each other.
“You’re training is over for now. Enjoy your time to relax.”
The first thing I did when my training was over was rush right to Emmalee’s room. I wanted to see her. I wanted to tell her the good news. And I wanted to ask her something.
I ran to her room and knocked on the door frantically. When she opened it she looked surprised to see me, to see how excited I was.
