Chapter Seventeen

I heard Christie before I saw her. She was yelling in the backyard about something, and I dragged myself from the bed to see what was happening.

As I looked down, I saw Escher and my other mates with their hands on their hips and the alpha in between them and Christie.

Sooner or later, the showdown about her fighting would happen. Might be now. Quickly, I dressed in some yoga pants and a tank top. My best friend wouldn’t be fighting this battle alone. I intended to back her up fully.

“Good morning, female of mine,” Escher said as I came out of the back door. He opened his arms for me and, while it physically pained me not to go to him, I instead went to stand behind Christie.

“I’m here to train,” I announced, and Christie whirled on me, a grin on her face.

“Not you, too,” Cash interjected but didn’t really seem upset.

“You have to let the males fight. It’s our way,” Samson stepped forward, assuming the same stance as the others.

“Okay, let’s say you all get beaten down,” Christie said, met with growls from the others. “Let’s pretend, okay, boys?”

They each grunted.

“And Wendi and I are at home, being the good little females we are. And those motherfuckers come for us. They are clawing down the door, teeth bared, hungry for blood. What would you have us do?

So, teach us to defend ourselves and our home. Our young.”

Damn, a speech if I’d ever heard one. And it gobsmacked not only my mates but every male in the vicinity. Females gathered around us, some holding their babies and toddlers tight, nodding in agreement while the males looked to the ground.

She was right. There was no other way around it.

We had to defend what was ours, even if it meant bruising the males’ pride a little bit.

From the looks of it, it was more than a little.

“Escher, are you willing and able to teach the females some defensive and”—he held up his hand as Christie poised to protest—“offensive moves so in our absence they are protected?”

Escher’s eyes met mine, and I stepped around Christie. “Escher, maybe if I had known some things, I could’ve defended myself against them before. Maybe prevented the kidnapping altogether. And if Mirella needs me…”

My dark-haired mate kicked at the dirt. “I can teach them.”

Samson exhaled and looked at Christie.

Her face reddened, but she gave him a faint smile. “Good. Let’s start now. We don’t have any time to waste.”

For the rest of the morning and into the early afternoon, Christie, I, and the other females, along with the males, were trained. We
