Violet Rose

The King has fallen

Liza Pov:

Finally those kids are getting along. Everything was falling into place. Only thing that could make this better would be a little healthy competition. I told the kids to go change and meet me out back.

I was standing out on the lawn when the kids appeared along with Zeke.

"Where's Cole?" I asked because I thought Zeke would inform him that the family was all together.

Zeke was about to reply when Cole strolled out into the yard wearing his training Vest.

"I had to finish a phone call. I'm here now."

I smiled. My heart was full finally we would all be able to spend time together. I had everyone stand in a line while I broke the game down.

"Alright everyone the name of the game is capture the flag. You will split up into two teams Red vs Blue. The flags are hidden in the woods. First team to capture the flag and bring it back to the house wins. You may stop your opponent however I don't want anyone getting hurt. Any questions?"

Colton raised his hand " yea there are 7 of us how is that fair."

I nodded" ahh yes you are right that is why I asked for reinforcements." Just then Cel came running out of the woods and Asher came down from the balcony.

"I have asked Cel to be referee here and Asher will be joining us as well. Now that it is settled Colton and Vi how about you guys pick your teams."

Colton picked first "Asher"

Then Vi " I'll take father Zeke"

The kids went back and forth until everyone was chosen.

On team blue we had :

Colton

Asher

Liam

Me

While on Team red:

Violet

Zeke

Cedric

Cole.

Now that the teams were divided up we got in our groups. Cel came and told us where our flags were located and we decided that our best bet was to put someone in charge of guarding while the rest of us go look for the flag. We originally chose Asher but Colton wanted to show his fathers he'd been practicing and getting better at training so he wished to take watch instead. No one had any objections since it was just a game any how.

We got our game plan ready just in time Because Cel blew her whistle and grabbed everyone ones attention.

Wait when did she even get a whistle? I knew I asked her to ref but clearly this woman doesn't do anything half ass.

"Alright ladies and gents. Let's act like we've done this before! I wanna see you run like your wolfs tail is on fire! I wanna see y bob and weave like a frying pans being thrown at you. I wanna see you get deeeppp so deep that you are waving to the worms! I wanna see you get nasty! I want your enemies having nightmares of you the next day and I want to see...!"

I cute her off " Okay Cel I think we get the picture."

Cel cleared her throat and recomposes herself.  " ahh yes most importantly have fun okayyy." She quickly blew her blow horn that came out of no where and took a seat.

We split up Colton headed to the flag while we made our way to track down theirs. They must've had the same idea because I saw Zeke head to find his while the others broke away.

Asher and I B lined for the woods and were jumping through the trees until we came to a clearing. we paused for a moment and try to guess where Cel might have hidden It. She had told us she casted a spell Over the flags and after we had all made it to the wood she would lift the spell and reveal the scent. Just as we were looking around Liam Caught Up.

" You are faster than you look old man." Asher faked a pain heart and replied.

"Kid when I was your age these used to be my woods. you have long way to go. I Was almost the fastest of the pack."

Liam stood and looked at him. " Who Was the fastest?"

Asher put his arm around Liams shoulder " Our friend rose was. She could clear a clearing before you could even blink an eye."

It made my heart warm hearing such kind words come from Asher. Liam was quiet for a moment before he responded " was my mother fast?"  the warmth in my heart was replaced with a twinge.

" Ah Veronica wasn't really much of a runner. She was more of the shopping type." Just as he finished that sentence a smell of raw meat hit our nose.

The flag.

Luckily we were close and Lilly and I decided to take off leaving the boys in the dust.

I came To a river bank where I saw the flag on the edge swaying in the wind. I walked towards it and got close enough to grab it when Zeke grabbed my wrist and twisted it behind my back.

" I was really hoping It was you who got here first." He tightened his grip so I swung my head back and connected directly with his nose. Forcing him to release his grip.

" Well then Im happy to make your dreams come true." I replied as I Leg swiped him and sent in on his back into the water.

" A woman of many talents." He said just as he grabbed my ankle and sent me on top of him. I was gazing into his eyes when he reached up and brushed my hair behind my ear.

" Those eyes" I knew he was talking about Lilly. I was doing everything in my power to control my lust but it was harder than I thought.

" Liza can we run later?" he asked.

" NO" Zeke looked at me confused.

"Why Not?"

He couldnt see my wolf. I had to think of something quick.

" You cant my wolf is she wont let me change infront of others."

"I AM WHAT" I heard her snarl.  Zeke expression went from confusion to just plain hurt. He quickly covered it by flipping me so that he was now on top caging me in.

Zeke one hand and ran it over my thigh. " I believe I have you beat miss Liza." He leaned down close enough so our lips were touching without much movement but not touching quiet yet so that I had to choose to continue. I decided on the ladder and took his mouth Into mine.

I let our kiss stay like this for a moment. It was sweet and yet passionate. He still tasted like cinnamon to me. I broke the kiss and smiled at him.

" Oh Honey I was only the distraction." Zekes eyes grew big and then his head shot up to find that the flag that was once hanging was now gone. I used this moment to kick him off of him and sprint back to the house.

"Let me drive' Without hesitation I gave Lilly control. We haven't ran since we came back in fear of getting caught. Lilly was much more agile than I and got us to the clearing faster than I ever could. she even left zeke in the dust. I saw the Balcony and the rest of the team holding the flag waiting for me which made me pick up speed. However what I did not anticipate was Cole coming form my blind spot and tackling me to the ground. At first I thought that is was just to prevent me from getting to the finish line but when He got into his sparring stance I could clearly see he wanted a fight.

"lilly do you have any of your powers?"

I was waitng for to respond thinking that if she says no there is no way I had a chance.

" Yes I have some but you are no where near as powerful as you once were." I had to think

" well how powerful are we."

Lilly was getting ready for a fight. " think back to your first day of training."

I paused for a moment a thought until the flash back hit me how could I forget it was the beginning of Zeke and I :

I took A step back and surveyed my opponent. The man was Tall and skinny. he was fit but did not have many muscles which means he might not be in as much shape as the others. we danced around each other for a moment and then as predicted he took a step forward and I quickly side stepped him and he went flying to the ground.

Lily whispered " be patient child this man is fast but doesn't calculate his moves. he is sloppy and all over the place. find your right moment to attack but let him wear himself out first." I nodded in agreement.

Runt quickly got back up and his face was filled with anger and frustration. He lunged again this time with his foot aiming for my ribs.

Then the craziest thing happened it was like it was in slow Motion and i had all the time in the world to stop the attack. I reached for his ankle and twisted. Sending him twirling in the air and landing once more on the ground.

" you stupid b***h you're going to regret that." he got back up an the next thing I know he is charging me full force. I see him glance at my legs and know his weakness. he will let the opponent know where he is striking next. As if i had already Played the scene out in my head he dives for my legs but before he can get ahold of them i easily jump and dodge the attack, landing myself on him it is pretty easy to put him in a choke hold until he is gasping for air.'

" I concede, I concede now get off of me" Runt was squirming to get out from my grasps and once i got off he ran back to the rest of the warriors.

" Alright warriors pair up I want you to Spar for the rest of training and i will be watching, rose can i see you for a moment?" Zeke said as he walked to me.

" Whats up Zeke?" I said looking at him he smiled but still hadnt made eye contact with me.

" Rose how did you do that?" Zeke looked at me puzzled.

" How did I do what?"

he sighed before relpying searching for the answers in my eyes " Rose I have never seen someone move as fast as you just did. It was almost as if your opponent wasnt even trying."

"Its hard to explain but when I feel attacked its like everything slows down in my my wolf gives me time to process and lets me stategize." I was looking at him and saw his sense of excitement.

" from now on you will train with me personally and privately. You Rose, Just might become the Strongest warrior the East Coast has ever seen."

*** End of flash back

" Okay so Thats not alot but I have a plan." I rolled up my sleeves and got into my stance. Cole wanted a fight and for whatever reason he has decided it was going to be with me.

All I could think about was what happened in every fairy tale book I ever read the king wins and gets the girl.

' Well my child this isnt a fairytale for most. In this chapter the King has fallen."

I nodded Lets just hope lilly was right.
