Chương 53: Training

Allison gasped at this revelation, then observed that Lucas was not joking.

"It's amazing how she was able to do that." Lucas nodded at her remark.

"Yes, to even have the determination to kill your own brother for the greater good tells us a lot." Her body froze for a second, then relaxed. Too many revelations had already made her a little numb to surprises. The door opened before they could continue. As Kate stepped in, she saw Lucas's hands on Allison's shoulders. She raised an eyebrow, seeing how close they were.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Allison closed the book when she saw Kate, then shook her head.

"No, we were just talking, nothing serious." Kate observed Allison's face, then smiled, briefly gazing at Lucas before continuing.

"I was hoping we could spend some time together after school." Before Allison could respond, Lucas replied first.

"We have something to do after school." Seeing Allison remain silent, Kate smirked, then spoke:"But do you have your parents' permission?" Allison froze for a moment. She looked at Kate, wanting to respond, but before she could speak, a voice was heard from the door.

"What's going on here?" Chris frowned slightly as he looked at the tense atmosphere. Kate smiled deviously, then recounted what happened to him. Chris's eyes narrowed, then he looked at Allison for answers. Allison's gaze was hesitant, then she looked at Lucas, not knowing what to do. The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. Lucas observed her tense reaction, then smiled, responding in her place.

"We started going to the shooting range for training." Chris was shocked for a second before quickly suppressing his expression. Kate, on the other hand, observed him curiously, wondering what he had told Allison.

"What made you want to do this, sweetheart?" Chris's face calmed down as he observed her face for any deception. Allison hesitated slightly, then told him the reason.

"I asked Lucas to train me. All the stuff that's been going on made me feel very weak." Chris's gaze softened. The previous incident may have put a lot of psychological pressure on his little girl. Kate's interest deepened. Observing Allison, she then spoke:"You could have told me this. I know a thing or two about fighting. How about this? I'll start training you." Hearing this, Allison was stunned, not knowing what to say. Lucas's eyes narrowed, his gaze becoming increasingly cold.

A silver glow flared slightly in his pupils. There was only one thought in his mind:'I need to make her disappear.' Chris put out his hand in front of her, stopping her from continuing.

"Enough. We should let Allison spend time with kids her age. Let's go." Not giving her a chance to retort, he dragged her away. Chris pulled Kate into her room, then looked into her eyes.

"What are you up to?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. I just want to spend some time with my favorite niece." Kate smiled, unbothered by his suspicions.

"Don't act like you didn't see how that boy looked at you. It looked like he wanted to kill you." Chris's face was serious, trying to control his wild sister.

"Just a kid's rage. He is not going to do anything." She shrugged her shoulders, unfazed. Chris observed his sister helplessly, then warned her one more time.

"Don't forget he faced an Alpha and lived. Besides, it will not be the first time an Ashford tried killing an Argent." Kate waved her hand at him, unbothered, then said something that made his face stiffen.

"You should be more concerned about what 'he' is going to think when he finds out about Lucas and Allison." Then she left the silent Chris alone in the room. ==== More than a week passed by. This period was very peaceful for Lucas and Allison. Every day after school, they trained. After what happened at school, Allison trained even harder, making herself exhausted every time she got home. Lucas didn't slack off either. He constantly trained with various types of firearms.

His biggest growth was in hand-to-hand combat. He privately hired John, his firearms instructor, to teach him. The biggest gain was not becoming Bruce Lee, but his control over his immense strength. After all, with his speed and strength, fancy moves were useless. Bang. Bang. He looked at Allison's serious face while she was shooting and smiled. He then went and grabbed the paper target.

"Good job, your improvement is amazing." He looked at the circle; most of the holes were in the middle. When she gazed at him, her seriousness disappeared.

"It must be my archery training helping out." As the two were talking, the door opened. It was John, walking in with a big box in his hand.

"The thing you wanted arrived." Lucas smiled, then helped him with the box. Allison looked at Lucas in surprise and couldn't help but ask:"What's inside?" Lucas made a gesture with his hand toward the box. Allison's curiosity got the better of her, and she slowly opened it. Her eyes were shining when she saw what was inside.
