Chapter 6: The Secret Scroll

What are you doing here?” Kyle said in a hushed voice to the people that came from the Rogue pack.

“We are here on the Alpha’s orders,” the commander replied.

“Go now, tell father I will do this on my own terms. I am getting the plans ready,” Kyle said to the commander who was now smiling.

“Alright then,” the commander curtsied and left.

I just need to stall for a while until I find something to do. I will not let father get to her, although I need to find out more about her and these people she stays with, they are not wolves. Kyle thought to himself as he went back inside.

“What did you talk about with them, why were they here?” I asked curiously.

“Nothing much, they were just worried about me and tracked my scent out here,” Kyle replied.

“Hmm, I hope they won’t be causing trouble for I and my people,” Aria asked and Kyle smiled.

“I won’t allow that,” He replied.

“Urgh, my arms hurt how much longer?” I asked as I continued to do more arm work.

“Till your muscles become strong enough. To embody your wolf, you need to be strong. Soon I will introduce you to other things but for now we need to get your body stronger.

Now drop and give me twenty,” Kyle said to me.

“No, please. My hands hurt.” I pleaded.

“Do you want to learn to control your wolf and your system?” He asked and I nodded.

“Then drop and give me twenty,” he continued.

Tears pooled in my eyes from how sore my arms were but I made sure to continue pushing myself. I would push myself until my body can’t move anymore.

“Today’s training was so intense I cannot feel my body,” I said to Aria who looked at me with pity.

“Oh, sorry my dear.” Aria moved forward to hug me.

“Ah! That hurt. I feel sore there too,” I groaned as she touched my back.

“I will prepare an ice water bath for you. It will calm your nerves and release your sore muscles. Then I will prepare a special oil that I will use to massage your body, okay?” Aria said.

“Yup,” I replied.

“Mhm, that feels good. Please apply more pressure on this area,” I said to Aria who shook her head and did as I said.

“Why do I have a feeling that you are making a face?” I laughed.

“Because I am making a face,” she responded.

“Ahh! Help! Help!” I screamed.

“Lyra! Lyra!” Aria shook my body as she tried to get me to wake up.

“Aria… I ….I. they want to harm me. They were clawing at me,” I cried.

“Shush, it is alright. It is okay. You are fine and protected. It was just a dream. Calm down,” Aria said in a soothing voice trying to calm me.

“Here, have this tea, it will soothe your nerves,” Aria said as she handed me a cup of some herbal drink that smelled bad.

“Ugh, what is in this thing?” I covered my nose and tried to bring it to my mouth, but the smell was pungent and I couldn’t help but gag.

“Swallow it in a gulp, it will make it better that way and here is honey to take after you’ve taken the tea,” Aria smiled.

“You are enjoying this, something tells me you made this extra smelly.” I accused as I closed my eyes and drank it at a go.

“What have you gotten from that girl? What pack is she from?” Kyle’s father questioned.

The past week, he had been extra involved in their business, even Kyle couldn’t keep him at bay anymore. He wanted to know everything about her.

“Can I meet the girl? I want to meet the girl,” His father pressured.

“You will scare her father. I need to take this slow. She needs to trust me,” Kyle said knowing fully well that Lyra trusted him. It was Aria that probably still had her doubts.

“Okay then, but you need to proceed faster. You are handling the matter to slowly. I need more information about everything. She could be some Alpha’s daughter plotting revenge. I cannot and will not let everything I have worked for go to waste. And you don’t know, maybe she belongs to a pack that escaped me. We can use her to conquer them,” Ryker smiled as plan spewed into his mind.

Kyle walked away thinking of how he will continue to keep his father away from Lyra. He couldn’t let the man near her. He was ruthless, he will destroy her and take everything she owns.

“What are you saying? Are you asking me to go on a date with you?” I teased and laughed at Kyle as he turned red.

“Alright our training session is over, I will be on my way,” Kyle said as he turned around to leave.

“Come on, I was just kidding. Why are you taking it seriously,” I said as I rushed to hold his hand.

“You were literally laughing at me,” He whined like a baby.

“You are a big baby,” I laughed while he scowled.

“Are you sure this lake is safe?” I asked for the hundredth time.

“Yes, if you don’t want to swim in it, let me know. I brought you here because this water has healing properties. This is what you need for your sore muscles.”

“Okay then but if anything takes a bite out of me, Aria will kill you.” I threatened.

“I will love that,” He rolled his eyes, while I laughed.

“Lyra stop that, you will drown!” Kyle shouted worriedly.

“Aww, stop. I’ve got the hang of this,” I said as I continued to float around.

“Lyra be careful!” Kyle shouted as a wave of warm water rushed towards me.

“Ahh!” I screamed as I raised my hands to block my face.

“How did you do that?!” I opened my eyes to see kyle staring at me with wide eyes.

I looked to my front to see I had frozen the other half of the lake along with the wave.
