LUNAR LOVE A Forbidden Romance

"Ouch! That's enough dad. You're being too hard." Angela Jones, a tall, beautiful teenager, screamed as she fell hard from her dad's hit.

She touched her lips and looked at her fingers to confirm her suspicious. She had been cut on her lips by that blow. She hit her hands on the floor in anger as she quickly stood up, staring down her father.

"If you're going to be my heir, you have to be stronger than this. I will have no weakling as my heir!" Her dad said.

Andrew, was the alpha of the Yellow Sky Park and was keen to have a very strong heir, worthy enough to take the throne when the time comes. It was an obsession and so he always took Angela with him to training as they trained as hard as he deemed fit.

He was relentless as he always claimed that tough training was for the tough and weak training, for the weak. He'll hit her as hard as she could without thinking twice about it.

She was to be ready for what was to come as people won't treat her with mercy if they could lay their hands on her. He knew he wouldn't always be around to protect her and she had to learn how to do that for herself.

Hard training was the only available means by which he could help her achieve that and he gave it his all, sometimes, much to the displeasure of Angela, his child.

 "Let's go again, little one!" He screamed as he launched towards Angela with his sword who was ready for the attack.

She evaded the first and the second attacks and gave her father a wry smile.

 "I'm not little, father." She replied as she also launched towards him, sword in hand.

They hit their swords together, each one trying to push the other back. It was a test of sheer strength and power and in no time, Angela was tripped, after being pushed back with great force.

 Once again, she was on the floor, much to the disappointment of her father who dropped his sword in disgust and threw his hands up in the air in protest.

"You're too weak, child and I must say, unwise. You must fight smart. How would you try to beat a wolf, far stronger than you in a test of strength? Sometimes, the brain must be used, my child. That is exactly why you have it." Andrew said, with a look of contempt on his face.

He had expected Angela to be a much stronger opponent, a tough match, and not a weak wolf who was at his mercy, just like most of the other wolves. He had expected his own child to have the same toughness and skill that he possessed. Those qualities have served him well as alpha and if she wanted to be the leader someday, there should be no doubt that she was miles above others in terms of strength, skills and brute force, qualities that sadly seemed absent in Angela in his eyes.
