We head up to the gym on the third floor with mom and dad right behind us. They have a seat while the boys and I head to the mat. Tyler then explains it all to me a second time and then shows me the hand and foot placements again, and then the counter moves. I pay more attention today, as I was nervous yesterday. I am ready to try again. Tyler and I line up and he waits patiently for me to strike, I bide my time until I see an opening and take him down. I hop up screaming. I took him down. This is awesome and I do a victory lap around the mat. Tate laughs as he has never seen anything funnier. Travis high-fived me. I ended up getting Travis down too when I tried the second move out, but Tate managed to get out of my grasp when we fought, and I didn’t get him fully down on the mat. We all go to dinner and have a great time talking to each other. I hate that I only have one more day. I also hate that I will have to leave earlier than I anticipated because I will have to leave at 3 tomorrow, so they can escort me.
As soon as we get to the pack’s gate my brothers get off their bikes give me a hug and head back to Dark Moon. My world is sadder without them with me.
Five weeks later
This is our last week of school before Spring Break and things have been running smoothly. I haven’t run into the bitchy dream team run by Brittany. I am careful to not be anywhere near Ashley on the weekends when I am home, but since my brothers are always with me to train on those weekends that I am here, I feel like they and Brax have got my back and I just focus on what I need to do to train.
I have Dixon, Mason, and Brax here that always help me train and exercise. Tyler has gotten me up to speed quickly and I have learned a lot from training with him, Tate, and Travis at Dark Moon too. Brax tells me that I am the number #1 ranked female in the pack now for his Elite Warriors and he is super proud of me. He knows that I am training at the Dark Moon pack too and I have taught him some things to help him out with training both Stone Moon pack and for him to spar well and make it a challenge for me too.
The biggest change has been my weight. I lost steadily and Brax now wishes I had measured instead of just weighing because of the transformation. I just kept losing and working my way down and today I stand at 156 lbs., but at my height of 5’11,” I am in great shape. I am now a curvy and muscled size 6, I don’t have visible abs, but I do have a flat stomach, I just look fit and not overly muscular. I hit my goals each weigh-in and I am so proud of myself. I last weighed in on December 1st at Howling Wolf, as weighing myself wasn’t anything that I enjoyed doing. I had lost 5 before I got here, then I weigh in on Fridays and Mondays (so I didn’t eat anything I shouldn’t on the weekend). I lost the following each week as Brax documented it -13, -10, -13, -9, -8, -12, -6 and the last one was this last Monday, and I was down -8. I had reached my goal, and I am super happy about it. I wear size 6 jeans now, although sometimes it is hard to find jeans long enough for me.
This Friday I am going to ride to the Howling Wolf pack and accept Calvin’s rejection. I need to be able to move on. I am in a good place and happy now. I need to start trying to find my second chance mate if he is out there. I am ready to be in a relationship now. I have let go of the anger I felt at how I was treated and realize that even the hard steps got me to where I am, so I am grateful for my journey, even when it was difficult. I love my life now.
I already called my brothers and asked them to go with me on Friday. We are getting out of school 2 hours early around 1230 Friday and I wanted to go ahead and get it done. My brothers are just skipping school that day as they have a 2-hour ride from Sedona to get here, so they are just going to meet me at school at 1230 and we will ride out.
Tyler, Tate, Travis, Dixon, and Brax are riding on their motorcycles with me, and Mason is going to drive his quad-cab 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 as we are bringing the motorcycle trailer with us in case, I can’t ride my bike back.
I come out of the school with Dixon, and we load our backpacks into the back seat of Mason’s truck, we will be riding for almost 3 hours one way to Tombstone, and I don’t want to wear it for that long, or the way back. I smile at seeing Brax with a shirt on for once and a jacket as well because we will be traveling almost 350 miles today roundtrip. There are several stretches where we will probably leave Mason in the dust, but we already know the plan, when we are five miles out, Mason will contact Alpha Andrew, who will then call Alpha Edmond Taylor and have him get Calvin Williams to come to the gate so I can accept his rejection. Almost two months of the horrible pain when he sleeps with Sophia, or whoever he is sleeping with, and I will not miss this pain, that will be the very best reason for going ahead and getting the rejection accepted. I put my earbuds in, and we all take off. The girls wanted to go, but Alpha Andrew and Luna Monica vetoed that idea. They don’t know if things could get ugly and all of us can phase, except Tate, he is an excellent marksman, so he has a gun on each hip, and a fully loaded magazine in each gun, with 4 more magazines slid into the zippered inside pockets of his jacket. We really don’t know what we are walking into, and he wanted to be prepared, for whatever they throw at us. Hopefully, I can just accept the rejection, and we leave. But they have tried to take me twice and I just don’t know how this is going to go. That is the reason that they are just being given a few minutes’ notices of us arriving, so they can’t set something up to try to catch us.
I get more nervous as we get closer to the pack. I know my anxiety is starting to rise, and I slow down as I straighten up on my bike, the guys slow down too and watch me as we enter the town. I know that Mason called Alpha Andrew when we got to the 5 miles out mark so Alpha Taylor could mind link Calvin to come to the gate. I roll my shoulders to try to loosen up and get rid of my anxiety, I know Calvin will not be showing up alone and I really don’t want to make it back onto the social media pages again, for any reason. I didn’t like it the first couple of times and don’t want to do it now.
I pull up to the gate and then turn around, walking my bike backward, back towards the gate, and the guys follow my lead. We get off our bikes as Mason parks and then walks up to me and asks “Are you ok?” I smile and say “That is a loaded question. Ask me again in five minutes”.
Mason asks, “Do you want me to just go ahead and load your bike onto the trailer and you just ride back with me?”.
“I would,” I tell him “But, I really want to accept the rejection and then get on my bike, and leave them in a cloud of dust, never to see them again”. Mason smiles back at me and gives me a side hug.
