‘’The walk was fine, are you ready to teach me your skills Alpha?”
“It would be my pleasure, handing me a bow and arrow.
‘’Where are your guards, Alpha?”
“They are close, but they are instructed not to bother us, not unless it’s necessary’’, Here is your bow to practice with, this here is the sight window, below that is the arrow rest, hold your hand here, this is your string and your nocking point for your arrow. ‘’Watch me first’’.
Elijah picked up his bow, knocking his arrow, this is how you hold your bow, position your hands like this, one on your bow and one on your string, fingers stabilizing your arrow, draw back. When you do take a deep breath in and out slowly, once your target is in sight, release your arrow.”
The arrow hit its mark with a thwack in the center of the target. Reaching for an arrow, I latch it onto the string like he said, I hold the bow and knock my arrow like he showed me, drawing back taking a deep breath as I do, releasing my breath, target in sight, I release my arrow. No thwack to be heard because it fell about 5 feet in front of me. “What the hell, I did it like you showed me.”
What did I do wrong?”
‘’Here let me help you, handing me another arrow coming up behind me, now Knock your arrow, now draw up your bow, bring your fingers close to your mouth, like an anchor, placing his hand on my arm, lower your elbow, there like that, find your target, once you have your target insight, take a breath in and let it out slowly then release your arrow.”
Feeling Elijah behind me, his breath on my neck. The heat radiating from him, creating this calm comfort energy, damn he smells good. Thwack, the arrow hits the target, not the bullseye but close enough.
I spin around with a smile on my face, “I did it Elijah, giving him a hug, thank you.”
Elijah wrapped me in his arms, holding me close, pulling back slightly, we were inches apart, we stared at each other, my heart pounding, you could almost hear it. I'm sure he did with his wolf hearing. “It's my pleasure princess, should we go again?”
‘’Yes, I would like that.” Stepping out of his arms and back to my bow, we continued well into lunch time, shooting to tell I couldn’t hold up my arm. We started walking back to the pack house for lunch.
‘’This morning has been great Elijah, I've always wanted to learn to shoot a bow, it looked bad ass when I saw someone shooting’’.
‘’Yes, it is a great weapon for hunting or protection, the more you use it the better you become.”
“Will you keep teaching me?”
‘’Yes of course, we can meet out here every morning.”
‘’Thank you, Elijah.”
Of course!”
‘’Hey, Elijah, how well can you hear things?”
“Quite well, Laughing, Elijah spoke then, ‘’if you mean to ask if I heard you and Ezra the other night then yes, I heard you. I heard how hard your heart was pounding when you were in My arms too. I am attracted to you Aykiz, there's no doubt about that, you're a beautiful woman’’. You Are attracted to me as well.”
‘’Yes, you are attractive Elijah, but that's all it can be.”
Elijah Nodding in agreement. of course, my lady’’
The rest of the walk was in silence, we met up with Drayce, Finan and Ezra, they must have been sparring, shirts off and sweaty. “Aykiz, Alpha, how did the shooting go?’’
It went well, your sister is a natural, with more practice she will be a force to be reckoned with.”
“How was sparring with my guards? ‘’It was just what we needed, we will be back out sparring after lunch.”
Aykiz, would you like to practice with Kalypso?”
‘’Yes, I think that's a great idea.
‘’Shall we, Elijah gesturing towards the pack house, lunch should be ready.
Where is Kalypso?’’
‘’She was out connecting with Kyique.
