4 Training arena

After tea we went for a walk around our grounds. My mother stayed behind in the pack house. As a result, I walked with Dylan as our fathers walked together. We had little to talk about, we talked about school, the subjects we liked and hobbies. But we had little in common.

The walk was arranged in such a way that we passed all the showpieces of our pack. Finally, our training arena, the place where I felt completely at home.

My father always asked the Alphas who came to bring their strongest pack member. Alpha Drake had said he wanted Dylan to fight me since he was their third strongest fighter. And I had to admit that Dylan certainly looked good. I had seen his arm and leg muscles move during the walk and that was not bad.

When we walked into the training arena there were a few pack members training, normally it would be busier around this time but, because I would be fighting the son of an Alpha, my father had arranged for fewer wolves to be present.

My father and Alpha Drake took their seats in the stands, I showed Dylan the changing rooms. There were three different ones: one for women, one for men and one mixed. Since we are wolves, we are used to nudity, but there are always young people who do not feel comfortable taking off their clothes.

I walked into the women's locker room, making sure I was alone to mentally prepare myself. Not so much for the fight itself but more for what would come next. I took a few deep breaths and walked to the training field. There were several fields but we would fight on the main field as that was where the Alpha lodge was and my father and Alpha Drake were sitting there.

In addition to three fighting rings, there was also an athletics track and all the equipment you would find in a fitness center. In our pack it was important that everyone played sports. There was room for various sports, so in a smaller hall next door there was also room for gymnastics, ballet and dancing. We even had a swimming pool.
