Chapter 146
The next day started for me early in the morning. I felt a renewed confidence in myself.
I hurriedly pushed the sheets aside and went <b>into </b>the bathroom to take a quick shower.
The <b>warm </b>water rejuvenated my senses, but as soon as I picked the shower gel, I sneezed
“I forgot about that. I mumbled to myself <b>and </b>grabbed the soap bar with the least scent.
Smiling happily to myself, I stepped out of my room while wrapping a towel around my body and went towards the wardrobe.
Pulling out track pants, and <b>a </b>T–shirt, I put it on, pulled my hair <b>in </b>a ponytail, and put on the shoes before heading out towards the mansion grounds.
The air <b>was </b>chilly so I was d that I had the shirt to protect my skin. The first light of dawn kissed the grounds, painting the world in hues of soft pink and gold.
The world seemed to awaken with me, and a profound connection to the natural beauty surrounding the Hybrid mansion filled me. The training grounds, usually tranquil in the early <b>hours</b>, now held the promise of action and growth. My eyes sparkled with curiosity as I looked at a rose blooming on one of the nts.
Even from this distance, I could count the exact number of petals, and see the soft and varying <b>shades </b>of red and pink along with the fine dust of pollen in the center.
That word brought forth a memory that I chuckled at and prepared to exercise: I hoped Arthur would show up soon because I was dying to train with him. And it was too early to text him, so I decided to do some stretching and maybe he would show up by the time I was done.
<b>And </b>as if on cue, I saw him walk outside the main door carrying a water bottle and a towel in his hand after ten minutes.
“<b>Good </b>morning. Early Bird”
I smiled back at him. “Morning.”
He took the bottle and towel on the side and approached me.
I cracked my knuckles as he asked, “Ready to make today count?” I grinned, feeling the warmth of his positive energy. “Absolutely. Let’s get started.”
“So, what do you want to do?” He asked, and I grinned, “I want to learn how to fight”
<b>Arthur </b>cocked an eyebrow but did not object to it. I worried he would say I was rushing things, and that I had to get used to shifting first, but he nodded.
“Great. Try attacking me then”
Under the canvas of the morning sky, our dynamic training session began. Arthur, with <b>his </b>years of experience, transformed into a patient mentor, guiding me through the intricacies ofbat.
Earlier, I had only focused on training and improving my stamina, but it would be of no use if I didn’t know how to throw a punch or defend myself.
Pack wars and fights were second nature to werewolves, and I was done being the weak woofless girl in this life. Now, I wanted. to be a warrior, a useful soldier <b>in </b>the <b>pack</b>. And Arthur was <b>more </b>than happy to help me achieve that goal.
He offered <b>tips </b>and tricks, correcting my posture and demonstrating techniques to conserve stamina.
“Eden,” he called, gently stopping me mid–swing, “you’re leaning too far forward. It exposes your side. Keep your weight centered, like this.” Arthur demonstrated the adjustment, his movements precise <b>and </b>fluid. “Feel the bnce. Now, try it,” he encouraged.
I mimicked the correction, <b>but </b>a wave of self<b>–</b>consciousness washed over me. “Am I doing it right?” I asked, a hint of uncertainty in my <b>voice</b>.
Arthur’s warm gaze met mine. “You’re getting there, Eden<b>. </b><b>It’s </b>a process. Keep practicing, and it’ll be second nature.”

As we continued, Arthur guided me through refining my footwork. “Your steps are too wide; it leaves you off–bnce. Try a shorter stride and pivot your back foot like this. It’ll give you better control and agility”
With each new correction, I couldn’t help but feel a bit flustered. Arthur’s patience, however, <b>was </b>unwavering. He would demonstrate the movement, his gestures graceful, and then guide me through the steps.
“Watch my footwork,” he said, showing a series of precise steps. “See how I shift my weight? It’s all about maintaining bnce
and control.
I mirrored his movements, trying to capture the finesse he effortlessly disyed. <b>Arthur’s </b>watchful eyes caught any nuance that needed adjustment.
“Good, Eden. You’re catching on quickly. It’s like a dance, each step intentional and purposeful.”
As the sun climbed higher in the sky, casting a warm glow on my sweating body, I foundfort in Arthur’s guidance. Minutes turned into hours, and I was panting and sweating as Arthur taught me some cool moves.
It was hard and my breathing would getbored asionally but he would offer me short breaks, inquire if I was really not feeling down, and start again.
I was learning, but not fast. I had to be quicker to attack him and so far, the only time I got to hit him in any way was when he
let me.
“Rx, it is still your first day after getting <b>your </b>wolf right? You don’t have to rush” Arthur ruffled my hair and offered me a towel after could not take it anymore and my knees buckled under my weight. He was quick to break my fall and steady me.
“It has been hours since we started. Now go, get some rest, Arthur advised, and I let him guide me to one of the benches to sit.
I took a sip from the battle as he tightened theces of his <b>shoes </b>“Are you not done yet?” I asked.
He had been teaching me for hours as well. He should be feeling just a little tired, if notpletely exhausted, like me.
“Oh. Nope, not yet He smiled while wiping his head with the towel.
“When you first learned to train, how long did it take for you to learn everything?” I asked.
Arthur looked up at the sky, thinking about
