From Rougue To Luna novel Chapter 25

I gave him a small smile and nodded. "I'm Lili Walker. I've been invited by Ivy to join in the session at 2."

He eyed me for a moment before opening the door for me. I nodded a thank you and stepped inside. As my eyes adjusted, my jaw dropped at the sheer size of it. From the outside, you could not possibly tell how large this building truly was. Upon entry, there was a large field with track and obstacles for training. To the right was a ring for sparring, and to the left was a full gym for strengthening. It was incredible.

Just inside the door to the right I could see a small group of four men training. They were sparring while being observed by a tall younger male. He would bark out a position and they would begin to fight, changing as he commanded a shift in position. I watched as the intensity slowly built and before long the fight was down to three on one. The one jumped to fight off one and I realized it was Asher. One male lunged for him and he easily slide away while another struck his back hard. He staggered but quickly jumped to face them, wrenching them to the ground and avoiding another direct hit before kicking the legs out from under the third. His movements were quick and precise, landing exactly where he needed them to. The observer finally called for them to break and the three walked over for water and rest. Asher caught my eye and began walking toward me. As he did, the fifth male turned and I saw that it was Weston.

"Hey. You coming in to see the females train?" He said, nodding my way as he took a gulp of water. He barely seemed out of breath.

I nodded and smiled. "Yeah. Just waiting. You were incredible out there."

He shook his head and laughed. "Yeah except that one of those dicks caught me in the back."

I heard the sound of heckling coming from behind him and saw that it was the one who landed the punch. "Lucky shot." He said with an eye roll before turning back to face me. "So have you had any type of training?"

I hesitated but answered. "Not formally no but..."

"Lili! I'm so glad you made it!" I heard Ivy's voice walking behind me and turned to see her stepping up to my side.

I beamed a smile at her and tucked a stray hair behind my ear that had fallen from my already loosening ponytail. "Me too. I am excited to see how you train. I'd love to learn whatever I can." I said.

As I answered I saw the two of them smirking at each other. "So, who got you this time?" She said with a chuckle.

Asher scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Don't start with me. It was a lucky shot. It was three on one for fuck's sake."

"Mmhmm." She teased before leaned forward and kissing him tenderly.

"Time to start again gentlemen!" Weston called from behind Asher.

He nodded in acknowledgement before winking at Ivy. "Gotta go kick some ass. See ya later babe."

"Ugh I hoped she wouldn't come but of course she can't help herself." Ivy said lowly so that only I could hear.

The females gathered around and Soleil quickly made her way to the front of the group, flipping her hair over her shoulder as she eyed Ivy as she spoke.

Ivy instructed the girls to pair off, and before I could walk over to the smaller brunette next to me, Soleil strutted to stand just in front of me. "I'll take the new girl then."

I nodded and Ivy gave me an apologetic smile before moving to back to the front. "Ok ladies. Take your stances."

The females around me took their fighting positions, either in offense or defense and I turned to see Soleil crouching down in her stance.

"I'll start with offense. Hope you don't mind." She snarked before slinging her hair back over her shoulder again.

"Fine by me." I said, keeping my voice even as I raised my fists into a defensive position in front of my face. What she didn't know, was that I had plenty of life experience on this side of an attack.
