Chapter 74
With a determined step, Gina returned to the place where she had arranged to meet Helena. The sunlight filtered through the leaves of an old man, which illuminated Helen as she sat on the roots of that tree.
Helena raised her head and with a smile asked.
“Why do you come from that side of the woods?”
“I was enjoying this beautiful place. Have you been waiting a long time? He replied calmly.
“Something. Let’s go. I will take you to a place that will be ideal to start your training.
Helena bent down slightly to stand up, and both women began to walk. Finally, they came to a beautiful plain surrounded by colorful flowers and crowned by a majestic waterfall that fell with crystal clear waters.
“What a beautiful place. “This region is definitely stunning,” Gina murmured as her eyes sparkled with admiration.
“Yes, I thought the same thing when I first started exploring this region. I live near here, but I always come to this place when I need to find peace,” he replied with a smile. Calmly, he placed his belongings on the floor and continued. Before teaching yourself combat, I advise you to overcome the fear you feel towards others. If you defend yourself with suspicion, others will take advantage of your weakness.
“I’m committed to changing my self-esteem for the better,” she confessed with firmness in her voice.
Helena began to teach him the basic moves, while sharing details of her own life.
Two weeks later, the women were engaged in intense combat. Helena took advantage of Gina’s momentary carelessness and raised her half-bent left foot, providing an accurate kick that hit directly into Gina’s stomach, who fell to the ground, gasping from the blow.
“You’d better not intervene,” Jonah warned in a firm voice, who happened to be passing by at that moment and noticed Ares watching the fight. He hurriedly stopped the alpha before he could intervene.
Ares, blinded by fury and troubled by the bruises he had seen on his wife’s body for two weeks, couldn’t contain himself and responded in anger.
“Can’t you see that damn woman took advantage of his carelessness and kicked my wife?” His eyes sparkled with indignation. He had followed Gina to make sure she wasn’t in danger, and upon witnessing Helena attacking her, he couldn’t contain his urge to confront that woman.
“Helen is just teaching her to be more agile in her movements,” Jonah explained, trying to defuse the situation.
Ares, still full of worry and fury, replied with distrust.
“You don’t know that woman.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“Yes, I know you, Alpha Ares. Perhaps better than herself. She is a woman who, like your wife, has suffered greatly. He replied calmly.
Ares’s anger became palpable and he turned to Jonah, grabbing him by the shirt and shouting with a threatening gesture.
“What do you know about my wife, and how can you defend this traitorous woman?”
Jones remained calm and replied with a half-smile.
Hey, hey, calm down and look at the two women yourself.” He nodded toward the waterfall.
Ares let go of the man and turned his body, remaining motionless when he realized that Gina was laughing as she stroked her stomach and made faces that made Helena laugh. Immediately, Gina lifted her foot and slid it under Helena’s legs, resulting in her falling. Gina ran into the water laughing out loud, followed by Helena, who looked like two friends enjoying a game. Ares’s heart was filled with nostalgia as he watched them. He had never witnessed his wife laughing so carefree and youthful.
“You have seen with your own eyes that Helena is not his enemy, but his friend,” he said in a reflective voice.
“You haven’t answered me yet. How do you know them? The alpha inquired again.
“When Danna left the Pack, I started noticing certain things Iris did in the Pack that I didn’t like. He was unwilling to continue obeying his orders, no matter that she was the leader’s daughter at the time. So, I decided to resign my position as a guardian and moved to this part of the forest. One day, while hunting, I came across a woman lying asleep on a bed of leaves. He looked fragile, his clothes were worn, and I noticed that he had been there for several days. When she saw me, she got scared and armed herself with a stick to defend herself. I assured him that I had no intention of harming him, and sat down at a distance, and began to tell him about these lands, for I realized that he was not from here. Once I saw that she lowered her defenses, I offered her food, and she gladly accepted. Since then, he has lived in my cabin.
“Do you live together?” He asked in a more relaxed voice.
“Yes, but not in a romantic relationship. She’s not a bad person. As a warrior, I’ve evaluated and tested her on several occasions, and in reality, she’s simply a she-wolf who has had to struggle to survive in a world full of controlling and manipulative individuals who have marginalized her and forced her to do things because of her omega status.
“I’ve seen the side of her that I didn’t like,” Ares grumbled disgustedly.
“I’m aware. She has told me many of her past experiences. Here, in this corner, he found true happiness, and what you witnessed today is the result of what I have taught him, as I cannot be by his side constantly. Because of what she has been through, she has become a strong wolf and knows how to defend herself. He let out another sigh, not taking his eyes off the two women. I think he does a good job teaching your wife what he learned from me,” he added with a smile on his face and feeling the need to protect Helena, he continued. Her experiences in her father’s herd scarred her, as did marginalization, due to her omega status. However, her heart was not as dark as her sisters’. As you’ll see now, she’s become someone capable of inspiring and teaching those willing to learn from her, like your wife.
“Um, my wife thinks that of her, too. I had to see with my own eyes that he was not the person I thought he was.
Ares was silent as he processed Jonah’s words. Then, he let out a deep sigh that relaxed his body as he looked over at the two women who were enjoying some drinks. His heart beat tenderly, feeling a deep pride in his wife. He had noticed the change in his features; Now she was more determined, without a trace of shyness and with a serene countenance. He was roused from his reverie when Jonah spoke again.
“Let’s leave them alone, because if they realize they’re being watched, they’ll kill us.” “Both men came out of that part of the woods talking.
