Good Mate 23

Chapter 23 

Evangelina’s POV 

Nali squints her light gray eyes at Linc and gets in the readying position. 

“Begin.” I say and Nali immediately runs toward Linc supermanning it, her body in the air, fist 

in front, how she got that momentum, I have no clue. Linc catches he fist before she could 

connect it with his face. It seemed that she was prepared for this because she takes his wrist 

with her other hand and brings her feet to the front of her, kicks him in the stomach with both 

legs propelling her back in the air and making him slip on the mud and start to fall into the 

mud. 

She breaks from the grip and somersaults in the mud then pops back up. 

She gives him time to get back up then runs towards him again, throwing punches and ending 

with a kick. He grabbed her leg, twisting it and forcing her to the ground. Before she could get 

up he knelt on the base of her back and put an arm around her neck, forcing her to tap out. 

They stay like that for a second after she taps out and he clears his throat and stands up. 

She glaring at the ground in either anger or embarrassment, I can’t tell. 

“Nali where the hell did you get the superhero move from?” I ask, breaking the slight silence. 

“I made it up.” She said looking to the side toward nothing in particular. 

“That was really good! I also liked how you attacked first, knowing that it would throw him off 

balance.” I say and she nods her head smiling slightly. 

“I looked back in his memories for little snips of information and found that he does not do 

the best when somebody attacks first.” She says and I nod my head. 

“Good job girls. Continue training and maybe next time you visit we can work on jumbling an opponent’s head with memories or visions to win. That one takes way more practice to time out perfectly though.” I say and they nod their head excitedly. I then turn my attention to Henry 

who is smiling like a big German Shepherd. 

“Alright little Hen, it’s your turn.” I say and his smile immediately drops and he looks at me. 

“What?” He asks. 

“Oh. You didn’t think I would let you off the hook, did you?” I ask him with a smirk. 

“Well, kinda. Yea.” Henry says and I laugh, walking out to the field.

“Don’t hold back, gifts, and shifting are allowed.” I say and he nods his head in understanding. 

I look at Linc and he nods. 

“Begin.” Linc says, and we begin to circle each other. I see water shoot towards my face and dodge then take a cross to the jaw. As he follows through I grab his wrist pulling him forward 

and kneeing his face. I pushed him to the ground after but before I could pin him a big gush of 

water pushed me back. 

Once the water stops I start to throw pictures of us training other times to disorient him. He 

still charges forward, but stumbles here and there trying to decipher what is current or a 

memory. Once I feel he has had enough I run behind him and kick him to the ground, place my 

legs on either side of his back and put my arm around his neck. He struggles for a moment, 

but then stops. 

I suddenly feel this sickening feeling that all the water is being pulled out of my body. Great 

Mason must have taught him that. I let go and stand to my feet, and the feeling goes away as 

he stands. A little pissed off now, I rush him and start to throw punch after punch and kick 

after kick. He blocks them left and right until I manage to uppercut him. He loses his balance 

and falls on his back. I stand over him and he smirks. 

“Alright I’m done getting my a*s kicked.” He says and I fake disappointment. 

“What? We haven’t even let our wolves out to play.” I say and his eyes widen slightly. 

“Hell no, we ain’t doing that. Your wolf would tear me a new a*shole.” He says and I laugh at 

Veena saying that the statement is true. I reach out a hand to help him up and he pulls me 

down to the mud next to him then smothers my face with mud. I glare at him and he laughs 

then I look up to the sky. The sun is setting making the gray rain clouds look burnt orange. 

“You did good. I see that Mason taught you a few things.” I say and he smirks at me. 

“Why did you let him go? You nearly had him.” Nali asks. 

“Well it seems that Mason has taught him how to pull water from the body.” I say and she 

looks at me curiously. 

“You can do that?” She asks. 

“With enough practice and patience, yes. You really need to be calm and have focus when doing it though, it is very complicated. Most either don’t have enough power to do it or can’t do 

it without killing the other person. Good job Henry.” I say getting up and giving him a smile as he stands up as well. 

“I think after this, you all have time to get cleaned up and still make dinner.” I say and almost

on cue Nali’s stomach growls. And we all laugh.

“Go on and get yourself cleaned. Training is over for today, enjoy your night.” I say and smile 

as they start to walk back to the pack house. The others look at me and I shoo them off 

saying that I am going to check on the new extension once more before turning in for the 

night. 

I watch them all walking off and laughing then smile at the sight, but then the familiar tingles 

of electricity start in my heart again. Two times today.. Great. 

I go to sit on one of the training benches and look toward the sky, while the tingles spread 

through my body. All of my emotions seem to come crashing down on me because I feel like I 

am drowning. All I feel is the weight of protecting my pack members and other subgroups. I 

feel the weight of loneliness and pain that fills me every time I get the small shocking tingles 

that start in my heart. To top it all off it starts to rain. I sit there and just let my tears fall down 

my face with the rain. I’m not ugly crying yet, but I can feel that I probably will be soon.
