Page 55 of A Female Alpha for the Lycan Prince

My dad freezes at his words, eyes wide.

Luna Annalise laughs. “He didn’t mean the kind of training where he punches her around,” she chuckles. “Don’t worry. I’m training with him too, and I can promise you he’s a fantastic mentor.”

Again, Elden seems to be amused. “She’s right. I’m talking about mental training to help her connect with her wolf.”

“But I couldn’t possibly…” I blush. “You have so much work on your plate. And I’m just a normal girl.”

“I have enough support here,” he tells me. “My daughter is obviously ready to take over some tasks, so is my son, Finn. I would have asked Liam to do it and work with you, but he’s the one who has a lot on his hands right now. I can spare some time.” He raises his brows. “I have to warn you, though. I like my trainees to be on time, be prepared, and do their homework.”

“Now that’s not going to be a problem,” Alpha Celine points out in amusement. “Valerie is always on time, and she’s a very diligent student. You’ll more likely have to make sure that she doesn’t overdo it. She’s doing really well with her studies.”

I blush at the sudden praise.

“Another reason why we are so glad she befriended Jazz,” my mother says with a smile. She chuckles. “We were hoping for her to do a few stupid things. But she never does.”

“Like Annie,” Beta Harmony grins. “She never did anything stupid. The one time she did sneak out to a party, our parents couldn’t even pretend to be mad.”

Luna Annalise laughs. “Yes, they half-heartedly grounded me for a week or something like that. I think Mom was so relieved that she rather wanted to reward me with a present.”

Luna Flora crosses her arms in front of her body. “Elden, why don’t we have obedient children!? It’s your fault, it’s the alpha blood in them! I always wanted a cute omega daughter or a sensitive beta son, but no…”

He grins, much to my surprise. “Sweetheart, you are of alpha blood too.”

She pouts cutely. “Don’t divert the topic.”

He grins, pulling her into his arms. It’s funny to see such a petite woman being lovingly held in this strong man’s embrace. But it’s kinda cute too. I’ve never dreamed about having a mate, but seeing everyone around me being so happy with theirs… makes me wish to find that special someone too.

“Now, I think it’s time the girls get some rest,” Alpha Celine points out.

“You can have one of the guest rooms,” Luna Flora offers.

My parents nod in relief, and my mom smiles at Marilou. “Maybe you would like to accompany us?”

Marilou beams. “Really?”

“Yes, of course. We are happy to finally meet you.”

As we prepare to leave, I can see my Alpha looking at Annalise. “And what about you?” she asks with concern, “Are you alright? You look a bit pale again?”

Luna Annalise sighs and shakes her head. “The usual,” she says. “Don’t worry too much.”

Judging by Alpha Celine’s expression, she’s very worried though. I can’t hear any more of their conversation as my mother pulls Marilou and me away, happy to spoil us for a while.

Consequences

*CELINE*

Anniealwaystellsusnot to worry, but we do. She’s really looking pale recently. Maybe I’ll invite her over later with Ella, just us girls, to check she’s alright. For now, though, Elden and I need to handle the attack on the girls. We sent Marilou and Val away with Val’s parents, because we both know Aurelia might be back any moment.

None of these girls needs to face their perpetrator again. I’ll make sure they never see them again, let alone fear them!

Once the girls are away, I shift my attention back to Annie. “You weren’t feeling well last week either,” I mutter.

“Is that true?” Harmony asks, suddenly worried. I sometimes forget they are sisters.

She shrugs. “It’s not that bad. It just comes and goes.”

“Do you have a lot on your mind?” Harmony wants to know. “Any stress?”
