Heiress Clara A Queen In The Making

"Ugh training is so boring, there is not enough challenge for me I need more of a challenge." I think out loud. I get up and get dressed finding my way to the kitchen to grab a light breakfast before heading out. I need energy to wake me up, I am probably the only one who does not drink coffee, but drink water or a protein shake in the mornings. This gets me charged for training so I can go whip peoples butts. I know my father wants everyone to take it easy on me but I am not fragile like mom is or was. I do not even know where she is any more and father won't tell me so I do not go and visit her. Sometimes I hate him and I hate being the next in line for this royalty business. If I could only get him to see me as his daughter and make him train me to take over as the queen that would be something. Well here goes nothing, off to the training fields I go, but I think I will run for a bit first.

"Who is first to spar with the princess?" Kingslie ask the group.

"I will, I will spar with the princess." he yells out.

Everyone makes way for the unknown man who comes forth and gets ready to spar with her. No one knows who this guy is but he is built like a warrior or an alpha. Looks like a God dressed in grey shorts, red t-shirt which he discards so he would have more room to move. He has an eight-pack going on, and muscles to boot that won't stop. His hair looks like coal it's so black with his Blue Pacific eyes. He was a dream come true. He had all the girls head turning and drooling over him but he did not care nor did he notice. His eyes were set on the princess only and he could not wait to spar with her. He needed to touch her any possible way he could.

"Fine let us get this done and over with." A not so enthused Clara tells the crowd in a boring tone.

"Well, now princess let's not act to enthused about this." He says with a cheeky grin.

"Please don't go easy on me, I hate when these people go easy, it is very boring and I lose interest very fast. Hence why I can take them out fairly quickly."

"Oh do not worry little one I will never go easy on you, after all you are training to fight in a war and nobody ever takes it easy on the battlefield." New guy says with a smirk.

No introductions were made, of course without the name of the new fighter, they got into their stances and started to sparing with each other. He did take it a bit easy on her as he was told to but he wanted to see what her strengths and weaknesses were and gave it his all to test her.

"Come on is this all you got? You haven't pinned me yet why? Or are you too chicken?"

"Don't need to princess, I am watching your moves to see if there is any room for improvement."

"Well, I am the best of the best right now but could be much better if these buffoons would actually stop being pansies and do their fucking job and actually spar with me."

"What? Buffoons? Really is that what this pack is to you?"

"When we are here sparring, yes they are. They do not give me enough of a challenge that I need 'so stop being a big bad buffoon and give me your all!" she is yelling at her sparring partner.

I am thinking to myself, 'Damn this girl is stubborn but I have to give it to her she could get under your skin if needed' I just smirk at her remark. I will wait for a while before giving her what she wants as I really do not want to touch her just yet. My wolf has been driving me nuts being in this pack and needing to be let loose for a run. I tell him in due time he will get to be set free and run but we are here to observe their warriors and how they train. 'And our mate, cannot forget our mate,' he tells me.

'Good lord what is it with this idiot and who the hell does he think he is coming here wanting to spar with me? He is not touching me at all is this just a game to him or something?' Clara talks to her Lycan.

'Girl please do fret about it just pin the bastard and be done I am so tired of these buffoons not playing ruff with us. Let's play ruff with him, go at him hard and fast but watch it he's very weak with his right arm and left leg attack those and get him good.' Lydia her Lycan tells her.

Clara observes what Lydia tells her and starts attacking these areas and takes the man down in a matter of seconds. He was not happy when he went down pinned by a princess in no time and he tapped out. She got up and walked over to get some water after her first spar and he followed her.

"I did not see much of a weakness except some hesitation in your punches and kicks those could be a little stronger and tighter. Other than that you are pretty awesome and should be a warrior kiddo."

"Kiddo? I will have you know I am 28 years old and very strong willed and independent and not to mention stubborn." Clara tells him sarcastically pointing her finger into his hard delectable chest.

"I can see that in you princess so much so that your finger kind of hurts when poking me and I do not appreciate that you poke me like that. It is rude and inconsiderate of your title."

"I do not care what you think buster, I know what I want and how to get it and will not stop until I do! Why are you calling me princess? I hate that nick name everyone here calls me that." She huffs and turns away grabbing a towel to dry the sweat off her brow.

He just walks off and starts to spar with some of the other pack members and of the royal court guards. Clara just watches him in disgust as Lydia is gaging in her head. They both laugh at her silly antics and are caught off guard when another wolf comes up and tries to punch her in the head and she turns and blocks him and lays him out flat. With a smirk she looks at another God like man with dark brown hair and eyes the color as Jade with a hint of silver.

Lydia sat up panting and running around howling getting all excited. Clara even got a little excited and felt tingles in her fists when she made contact with his face. 'Shit who is this Lydia, is he alpha? Why are you so happy?'.

"Clara I think, maybe, he is our mate, I cannot get a whiff of his wolf though. Something seems to be off here."

"Well, there are sparks and you are doing some kind of happy dance tell me, we cannot mess up and mate with the wrong person."

"I know, I know...just give it time and we will see. I could connect with the buffoons wolf but not this one."

"OH? What did his wolf have to say?"

"Not a damn thing except he wanted to go run and that he could not stand being here right now, oh and you are very aggravating."

"Well, let us just keep aggravating him more and more. I want him to get riled up so that he will keep sparing with me. I want to see what he has against me."

"Oh we can do that, I am all over that my princess, I am all over that." Lydia says devilishly.

"Girl you are acting like such a horn dog stop."

"But I cannot stop HAVE YOU SEEN how hot he is?"

Clara just rolls her eyes and walks off.

"Clara come here we have some business to discuss." King Lyon links her through his mind.

"Coming father, let me finish my training and I will be there shortly."

"Don't dilly dally Clara this is extremely important and cannot wait for later."

"Don't worry dad I will be there promptly." Clara links back rolling her eyes sarcastically.

She blocks out the others so they cannot read her thoughts as she finishes training. She is the absolute best at training and takes down her entire pack as they train against her it's even boring to train because they are not a challenge to her. Clara craves more of a challenge but her trainers, warriors and guards were told not to go hard on her this is something she has to talk to her father about, today.

"Father I am here."

"Come in Clara have a sweat."

"Where is mom at dad? Shouldn't she be here too since she is queen?"

"You know where she is Clara, so do not ask that any longer."

"I want to see her why do you keep her from me?"

"Let's get to business since you will be taking over as the next princess of all packs. This is important for you to know The Who's and what it's, ins and outs. I have tried to groom you but you always keep running away and that is going to stop today."

"Clara there is an alpha who is trying to take over my position at no cost and you need to be fully aware of this and understand the danger that you are in which includes our entire kingdom and all werewolves. He will stop at nothing to get here and I am afraid that means pretending to be your mate and he will use magic to make sure he gets my spot. We, meaning you, have to be on your guard and not allow this to happen."

"Great more pressure I have to endure, thanks dad, thanks a whole lot."

"I know you do not like this at all but it is what it is and you are my first born. My only offspring okay? I have loved you so much and I thought I did right by grooming you for this position for which I know you will be great at."

"Dad I know I will be great at it too but being great at this also means being a great fighter or warrior and you have everyone holding back fighting me. I need the challenge and you know this why do have them holding back from me?"

"I don't want you getting hurt or them hurting or killing you Clara. We are I have a duty to protect my children, meaning you."

"I want more dad I need to fight and feel like they can trust me to lead them I am not getting that from them all because of you. That is going to change starting tomorrow no ifs, ands or buts about it. They have to know I am their leader and better than all of them combined. If I cannot do this then how can I lead my kingdom without question?"

"They respect you dear, they really do. You can lead from in here where it is safe."

"NO Dad, I will not play your stupid little games any longer. I will leave and find my own pack to run or you will let me train with my kingdom at full capacity like everyone else! GOT IT?"

With all the yelling going on there was a knock on the door and the people entered interrupting the king and his daughter having a heated discussion. The men waited till there was a slight break in the discussion to interrupt them for the meeting that was set up a few weeks back.

"Your majesty sorry for the interruption, but your guests have arrived and are outside the door waiting to enter." George says kindly.

"Send them in please, hopefully we weren't too loud in our discussion."

George just looks around feeling uncomfortable telling his king they were too loud and everyone passing by could hear them since the door was wide open. Only then did Matthew realized that the door had been open and he turned red with embarrassment.

"Sorry gentlemen for the outburst you witnessed with my daughter, Clara."

"No problem sir. I am Dunken the Beta of Stone Pack and this is my alfa Xavior Stone."

Clara turns around and sees the two men she had sparred with moments ago and darn near shit her pants. They both smirked at her and shook her and her father's hands.

"Nice to meet you Princess Clara and thanks for the spar today." Alpha Xavior quirked his brow while kissing her hand sending sparks up her arm.

"Sure anytime alpha." Clara's face blushes a light rose color.

"King Lyon if you don't mind if I may give some input about the discussion both you and Clara were talking about?"

"Go ahead son, be my guest. I will listen to what you may have to say."

"Thank you sir, Clara has a point she is a very strong fighter but the others do hold her back and to be honest it makes her look weak and the rest of your kingdom looks weak as well. If she cannot fight or at least be taught at full capacity to fight she and your kingdom will fall to Alpha Felix. We both know this is not what we want to see."

The king sighs knowing he's right about his daughter and kingdom. But he is at his Witts end trying to keep her on the property and keep her safe.

Clara sat there while the men were talking about the business but Lydia was howling Mate in her head and she blocked her out. Lydia made a connection with Xavior's wolf, Cyberg, and he was annoying Xavior.

"Son your right, although she is not a good fighter and needs to be taught.." Matthew was cut off by Xavior.

"Sir with all due respect Clara pinned both me and beta in seconds flat. She is conditioned fighter but not challenged enough."

"Dad I have been telling you this for a while now but you do not ever listen to me. Now you listen to HIM?"

"Xavior I appoint you and Dunken to train my daughter and do as she wishes don't hold back and I will come and look in on your training. This will start at 5:30 am tomorrow morning understood young lady?"

"YES! Finally some real training, thanks dad you won't regret it."

"I already am, now this Felix guy what have you learned?"

"I have my Delta Rayland in his pack as a spy but he was recently promoted as Felix's Beta because Scout was killed for being mated to Felix's little sister. She left his pack and now with me for protection by my pack. Her second chance mate is Rayland but they have to be apart even though they are mated and marked each other."

Clara gasps at what she just heard and could not believe this alpha is just that cold blooded. "Wow, just wow! Why can't anyone have a mate in his pack? or do they all die by his hands?" She asks disgusted.

"He only allows those that do not have any authority to have mates and he is very tough on the entire pack. Meaning if you do not do what he tells you, you will be killed and buried as well by his own hands. He is not a fair alpha princess. This is why Dunken and I will head up your training from now on as well as protect you."

"Getting back to Felix, he is planning an attack on the Blackwood Pack during the night and wiping the entire pack out. Ray has to find out when exactly that is and he should let me know anyway now but we sent that pack away to a different state with another ally that is ours where they will be safe. The only members that are a few warriors who are not mated and the alpha who had lost his wife in a battle a while back. He has four kids one of which is 22 and is the current alpha but left with his pack to make sure they are ok. His father is up in his years and still fights like a madman."

"Okay that is good now we have to get the others on board to come together to take him down for good."

"One other thing we do know your Majesty, he is coming here to claim Clara as his mate and take over your thrown and overthrow the rest of the pack out as rogues if they do not submit to his ways."

"No one is going to claim me as theirs just for the sake of the throne. I will fight till the death if I have to and I do not care who the hell it is."

"Good girl, that is what I want to hear but your training will need to be amped up to protect yourself and your pack against Felix. He will stop at nothing and that means killing you to get what he wants."

Clara just looked at all three men like they had three heads each thinking to herself; 'if you only knew my real fighting skills you'd be shocked.' Layla cracked up laughing in her head and agreed.

"Girl when are we sneaking out again, I need to kick some ass really bad?" Clara agreed told her soon.

"Lunch is being brought up here so we can continue with the meeting. While we are waiting for lunch to come up let's look at the maps and see where his pack is and which ones he's acquired around his areas and upcoming areas with smaller packs." King Matthew advises the group.

"Do any of his warriors have any special abilities that helps them wipe out packs? They have to have something or someone on the inside to help them." Clara states with crinkled eyebrows.

"Not that we are aware of why?" King Matthew questions.

"If they do that would explain why they are wiping out all the packs and taking them over so quickly and not to mention having some type of guns to kill them." Clara explains.

Her wheels were turning as she knew there were some warriors and other pack members that held special abilities that could control and even wipe Felix and his pack off the face of the earth.

"Dad you know we all have pack members with special abilities and we could wipe him and his pack out or just kill him. I really do not think that his entire pack likes him or his ways. He's demented freak and he deserves to have KARMA."

"CLARA! That is uncalled for."

"Well, it is the truth dad and you cannot deny it."

"You cannot let others hear you say that princess, it would not be good if others heard you say things like that. Even though we know it is the truth and we all are thinking that way but we do not always voice it out loud." Xavior advises her in a very nice way.

"Looking at the map in this area in the upper left looks like he could hide in all these areas where there is an abundance of trees, rivers and lakes and this pack, Riversedge Pack is more out in the open but they are a bigger pack of 800 pack members. Over here in the upper right it's all open but this pack, The Rabidcrest Pride, they are extremely secluded and are very well hidden with 2,000 pack members. They are both our allies and the closest ones we have that are willing to come and help put Felix to rest." Clara exclaims as she is looking over the map in front of her.

Her father is standing proud of her for taking the lead for a change. Taking time for strategic planning to bring Felix down and getting allies together to help the kingdom out and make all the other packs feel safe in their own territory. King Matthew knows that some of these packs have spies in them and so does Xavior and they both know there are spies in their palace and they have to figure out who that is and fast.

"Clara you do know we have spies amongst us and we need to figure a way to smoke them out and put them in the dungeons or kill them as we cannot have them living amongst our pack. They are very dangerous people please think about how we can bring them forth and take care of them to slow Felix down."
