Chapter Twenty-Five

If my group grows much more, I am going to have to ask Alpha Joe for another timing slot, to be honest I am going to have to do it anyway, my session has gone from my pups to nearly quarter of his pack and it is still growing. Thankfully the training grounds are big enough to hold us at the moment, but they won't be for much longer.

"Alright we are doing something different today." They all turn to me eager before they see me smirking back at them "We are going to split up in groups of-" quickly counting them, phew even number "groups of six. Each group must have at least one pup in it. You have five minutes to make your teams. Go" stretching out I watch as they eagerly rush to make their teams.

The door to the training ground suddenly opens making me turn still on edge from Alpha Rick showing up only to lock gazes with Caspian, great why is he here? Can my day get any worse? Damn it, should have kept my mouth closed.

"Sorry I am late. I would er..." he rubs the back of his neck nervously "I would like to join your training session today if possible?" two pink dots appearing on his cheeks, how fucking cute.

"Normally I would say why not but if you are joining you need to find five others as everyone is already in their teams."

"Teams?"

"Yes, we are in teams of six today we are doing something different."

"Er… can I have five mins?"

"Yeah sure. You can have that while you're doing five laps for being late. You will also need a pup from here to agree to join your group and have a replacement agreeable to that team."

"W-WHAT!!! But your training session doesn't normally start until later. You started earlier today." He accuses me, trying to get out of his lap punishment. Did he not learn nothing whilst watching my training session yesterday.

"Ten laps. Better get going or you won't be able to participate." He leaves grumbling as he goes over to the track to warm up.

"Ok the rest of you. We are going to have a bit of sportsmanship today. It is alright training hard every day but some days you need to have a little fun and today is that day especially with everything going on today. So, this is what we are going to do today, we will be holding six different competitions followed by an obstacle course. Apart from the obstacle course you will only be allowed to enter one participate for each area. You will need to choose wisely to who you choose for each competition. I am unsure of a suitable prize of yet, but I will try and arrange-"

"One on one training with you!" Someone shouts with sudden agreement coming from the group.

"Surely you guys would like something other than more training from me"

"Nope" they all shout in unison.

"Fine winning group will each get a one-on-one training session with me for an hour on their chosen area that they wish to strengthen."

"Finally, where is Travis?" I hear Cayden shout out.

"He is on patrol what is this about?" Alpha Joe asks, and I turn around to glare at the interruption to my session.

"Alpha, your interrupting" Carl shouts and Alpha Joe sheepishly turns to me.

"Looks like you are out Cayden, you don't have six now if-"

"I will join you if you like" of course Caspian would join in.

"Yes six! Right, we are ready." Cayden announces.

"No, you are not. You have no pup -"

"Harry is joining us, and Darren is joining their group as agreed." Cayden smirks at me.

"You are still not ready. They are late and you have all interrupted so Cayden fifty push ups and the rest of you five laps."

"W-What?" Caspian stammers.

"Ten. Do you want to go for more." He glares at me before heading to the track "You can add fifty push ups to that too for the attitude" I turn around feeling quite pleased with myself whilst Val mumbles in my head about mistreating our mate.

'Val we cannot show special treatment'

'Fine. But at least glance over so I can watch his sexy arse around the track'

"Ok, now the interruptions are over, for warmups, this is an easier session, but I do expect a hundred percent and will not tolerate anyone messing me around like usual. Punishments as you can see will still go ahead. So, with that said I want one slow lap of the track, ten suicides and ten jumping jacks, then do your stretches. Once you lot have done your make ups for lateness etc you may join them."

"Son, you owe me" Joe grumbles.

Now while they are doing that I need to think fast and think of the six different competitions for them to compete in and about an obstacle course, why did I decide to do something different without planning. Mind you who said it had to be all physical activities, hmm…. plucking my phone out of my back pocket I dial the one person I know who will be right on board.

ME: Luna due to Alpha Rick being here I am doing something a bit different for training, but I need everyone else's support outside of the training grounds if it is possible and they are willing.

SARAH: What do you need honey?

So, I send her an elaborate message with all the details and what I need.

SARAH: Oh, this is going to be so much fun, Chelsea is literally bouncing on the spot. We are all in. x

ME: You're the best x

Sliding my phone in my pocket I cannot help the manic grin on my face, which only seems to scare some of the weaker wolves in the group.

"Ok guys let's get this started with a weightlifting competition. Candidates step forth from your group." Just as I presumed, they have gone with the one's in their groups that are most bulked up "Ok for your first task you will be timed, and points will be allocated accordingly. Follow me."

Moving through the six competitions over the past hour has been eventful and enlightening, not surprisingly though the two soon to be alpha's, Harry, Dean and Joe are in the lead by a smidge, my brother and his team with Carl a very close second and to my joy Scotty and Danny's team tying at third but it can all change in the obstacle course. They have to work united and have compassion to other teams as well, not only that, but it also isn't just me judging, I have hidden refs on the field.

ME: Is it set?

SARAH: Hell yes. What took you so long?

Laughing I type my reply to her. ME: Let's get this show on the road.

"Ok now is time for the last part of today's session. Everything can change so no one get disheartened yet. This obstacle is going to take all your skills you have learnt through my training sessions and just common sense. So, if you would like to follow me outside, we will start."

"Outside?" I hear Joe mutter "We have no obstacle course outside."

Yeah, that is what you think Alpha Joe just wait until you see what your mate can do in a short time.

"Woah this is amazing" I chuckle, she is good, if this is what she can do in an hour with the pack what can she do in a day.

"As you can see, we have the start of the obstacle here and goes off into the treeline there" pointing to my right and the finish line is there. All you need to do is follow your instincts and what I have taught you and cross that finish line."

"That seems simple after what we have done. What is the catch?"

"No catch. As I said follow your instincts and what I have taught you to cross the finish line. That is all the help you're getting. So, if you would like to line up at the starting line."
