Chapter 37

"Thank you for your concern," I murmured, attempting to keep my voice even, "But I can handle it. I've navigated storms before."

She nodded, and a pregnant pause enveloped the room.

"I genuinely wish you all the happiness, Phera," she said softly, her gaze sincere.

I nodded, the weight of our conversation pressing on my shoulders. Without another word, I headed towards the door, eager to immerse myself in the familiarity of the training grounds, a place that offered solace and clarity amidst the chaos of emotions and tangled relationships. The training grounds, a vast stretch of leveled earth bordered by tall pines and oaks, was awash with the morning sunlight. The atmosphere was alive with an electric charge, filled with the potent energy of Red Moon's female warriors. Their silhouettes, synchronized in formation, bore the mark of discipline and pride. The rhythmic pattern of their boots pressing into the soft, moist earth created a intimidating and exhilarating cadence.

As I entered this sanctum of strength, every gaze shifted, zeroing in on me with a blend of reverence and anticipation. I could feel the weight of their expectations, the silent hope that today would be a turning point in our shared journey. Pausing to take it all in, the grass's fresh scent, still dew-kissed from dawn, enveloped me, grounding my spirit.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Steeling myself, I stepped forward, my voice slicing through the crisp air, "Warriors of Red Moon, we stand here not as females, but as symbols of power and resilience. The world outside might label us, might try to diminish our worth, but here, in this circle, we are bound by our strength and unity."

Nods and murmurs of agreement echoed around, and I could see the fiery determination kindling in their eyes.

"Today, our focus will be agility and technique." Demonstrating, I transitioned into a fluid series of movements, each step and turn merging seamlessly into the next.

"This is the *Lunar Spin*," I emphasized, making sure to accentuate the pivot and follow-through.

The warriors mirrored my actions, their bodies swaying and twisting in elegant, deadly arcs.

"Good! Now, the *Ecliptic Evade*."

Dropping into a crouch, I illustrated the duck and roll technique, highlighting the importance of using an opponent's momentum against them. The field transformed into a dance floor of whirling, evading warriors, each one striving for perfection.

By the time we progressed to the *Celestial Charge*, a challenging blend of sprinting and precision striking, sweat glistened on brows, and breaths came faster. But the determination remained unyielding. A teasing voice punctuated our intense session.

"Such intriguing names for these maneuvers. Are they exclusively reserved for the ladies?"

My heart skipped a beat. Zane. He stood a little distance away, casual in posture but with an intensity in his gaze that belied his playful tone. His eyes, those deep pools of gray, twinkled with mischief.

Meeting his challenge, I quipped, "Maybe. Jealous much?"

His chuckle was rich, making the butterflies in my stomach flutter wildly.

"With you leading the class? Absolutely."

Around us, soft giggles and knowing looks were exchanged among the warriors. Their Luna and one of her mates, sharing a moment amidst the intensity of training.

Clearing my throat, I turned back to the group, "Ladies, let's wrap up with the *Stellar Strike*."

But even as I spoke, my mind was very aware of Zane's presence, of the promise in his gaze, and of the journey we were on - filled with challenges, but also endless possibilities. The training, while physical in nature, was also symbolic of our pack's journey, of overcoming, of reclaiming, and of standing strong amidst the storms.

The air seemed to thicken around us, its once invigorating freshness replaced by a palpable tension. As I continued to instruct the warriors, each pivot and jump carrying a grace that came from years of practice, I felt Zane's gaze, heated and unrelenting, following every nuance of my movements. It wasn't just admiration, but something deeper, more primal.

Every time I'd stretch or leap, every time the fabric of my training attire clung a little tighter, I felt his eyes on me, their intensity making my skin prickle with awareness. An unfamiliar warmth began to unfurl deep within me, a growing heat that spread through my veins, making me hyper-aware of every inch of my body and, more pertinently, of his proximity. My breath hitched, the usually rhythmic inhales and exhales now staggered, my heart racing at a pace that was wholly inappropriate for a training session.

I tried to push the sensations aside, to concentrate on the training at hand, but it was as if an electric field had enveloped us. A charged atmosphere, invisible yet undeniable. A glance in his direction confirmed my fears. He was smirking, that signature playful-yet-dangerous tilt to his lips that hinted he was fully aware of the effect he had on me. The realization was mortifying.

Did he know just how much he affected me?

Could he sense the rush of emotions, the heady mix of arousal and embarrassment that surged within me?

Gathering my composure, I called out, "Alright, ladies, that will be all for today! Remember to practice, and we'll continue tomorrow." I hoped my voice didn't betray the whirlwind of emotions inside.

As the warriors dispersed, sharing soft whispers and sneaky glances in our direction, Zane sauntered over, his stride confident, the look in his eyes predatory. The distance between us disappeared, and before I could step back or put up any semblance of resistance, he was right there, his breath warm against my ear.

"You know," he murmured seductively, his voice sending shivers down my spine, "it's not just the training moves that have me captivated. It's the fiery instructor showcasing them."

I swallowed hard, lost for words, my entire being engulfed in the raw intensity of the moment.
