Chapter 0271
Olivia turns to Angel. “Do we need to get Alpha’s permission?”
Angel looks at me. “I don’t think so.” She answers Olivia. “I assigned Olivia as Lead Omega for the kitchens and I’m going to hire a second Lead for the
packhouse upkeep.”
I can tell Angel wants me to support her and honestly, I’m thrilled that I don’t have to deal with any of this. I’m more than happy to support herinany way she needs. “Sounds great. Olivia, you’ve obviously shown your Luna that you are more than capable of managing the kitchens. Congratulations!” I tell her.
“Yes, congratulations.” Dustin says beside me.
“Thank you.” She says before moving past us.
I look at Angel. “Ready for warrior training?”
“Yes, but can we stop by the Luna office on our way? I want to see if it’s ready and I can give Dustin his office back tomorrow.”
“You’re welcome to my office as long as you need it Luna.” Dustin tells her as Sarah joins us.
Angel gives her a quizzical look. “Sarah is going to join us for warrior training from now on. She’s going to learn how to use weapons.” I tell her, putting my arm around her and moving our group to the stairs.
She turns and looks at Sarah over her shoulder. “That’s wonderful! I know you’ll be great.”
We split up the warrior training today, having Clint, Cara and Angel work together while Rik and I work with the warriors. We’re faster than the other warriors and it forces them to think differently about how they fight. Jackson and Chase move through the crowd, giving feedback and instructions, while Dustin begins training Sarah on how to throw a knife.
Evan and Trevor, our lead warriors, come last. They are both bouncing on their feet. They love the fight and they are good at it, which is why Rik and I made them. our lead warriors. At first we fight our own warriors, then we switch it up, giving them more of a challenge.
When we’re done, we see that Dustin has already got Sarah hitting targets on a
tree.
“Dustin.” I call him over. “Let’s have her hit a real target.

Angel is at my side in an instance. “Liam?”
I turn to my mate. “She needs to know what it’s like to hit a real target, not just a tree. If she can’t throw a knife when it’s aimed at a person, then she won’t be able to protect herself or the pack.”
I can see the hesitancy in her eyes,so I cup her face in my hands. “You gave me your amazing healing power, remember? I’ll be fine.”
“Dustin, bring Sarah over. We’ll start slow.”
I strip and shift waiting for Sarah to join us.
“What’s going on?” Sarah says.
Dustin looks at her. “Alpha wants you to hit a real target, or at least aim to hit him.”
She’s shaking her head before he’s finished. “No, I don’t want to hurt him. You’ve all been nothing but nice to me. I don’t want to throw a knife at him.”
Dustin takes her hands. “You won’t be throwing knives at trees, love. You have to learn how to aim and hit a real target. Liam and Cyran were very strong before they mated with Angel. Now they have incredible strength. Plus, Cyran is fast. If you actually nick him, I’ll be surprised.”
Several warriors circle around. This is not uncommon, but it will feel intimidating to Sarah. However, this is what it feels like in real combat. You are surrounded by others, making noise. They may not be cheering you on, but you
need to be able to block it out and focus on your target.
Dustin helps her set up and as I lunge for her, she throws the knife.
