Much to everyone’s shock I kept pace with all the men, my sprints, the weights, you name it. I mean obviously I didn’t lift as much as they did, but I still met all the same number of sets.
It was damn hard not to constantly look at Ridge to see what he was thinking about it. Everytime I looked for him he was staring right at me. Even when he’d walk to the water cooler he’d be staring at me.
“Where are all the she-wolves, quite a sausage fest in here,” I asked Ridge when we had a moment alone.
He laughed, holding his stomach.
“Baby they don’t care about this stuff. They have like aerobics and whatnot they do yoga out in the field, some might come watch their mates spar but the guys don’t like it, it's a di
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️He walked me into a stand up shower, still inches from my face but not kissing me. He held me up with one hand and pulled the door shut, but still just stared at me. My body was completely on fire, on edge with anticipation. Little bastard.“You’re killing me,” I finally said.“Good,” he said.We stared into each other’s eyes as the spray hit us both, it was hot but that was just how I liked it.“You have no fucking idea how hot it was to watch you fight, especially with how good you are,” he said, finally kissing my neck.I moaned into him, putting my hands in his hair. He shoved me
~Ridge’s Point of View~I had never been more turned on in my life watching Tyra in the gym and it was torture. I did everything possible to not show how hard I was, especially since we weren’t alone. If we had been alone I’d have had her over every piece of equipment in there .., and believe me when I say I was visualizing the hell out of it. It was impossible not to.I kept walking around, doing everything to move and stay busy ...and not just stare at her, but it was impossible. Forrest was furious with me and I didn’t blame him. He wanted her marked immediately.When she said she wanted to fight I wasn’t happy at all. I had just gone through a mess to get her, and it still wasn’t even resolved. There was no way I could risk something stupid happening to her
~Tyra’s Point of View~Apparently the mall was about an hour drive off the pack lands. Nate was actually pretty damn chatty and it cracked me up.“So yeah, that’s what I look for when I’m fighting,” he said, trying to tell me about his skills.“I size up my opponents too, men are easy to read,” I said, waving my hand at him.“Oh? Do tell,” he said, curiously.I scoffed and feigned shock.“You want advice … from ME? A lowly new she-wolf,” I laughed, clutching my chest.“You’re not just any she-wolf as we both know,” he sa
~Zach’s Point of View~“Wake up baby, follow my voice,” I said, stroking her hair.I didn’t know what was supposed to happen between when Tyra left me on Sunday and the challenge, but I had planned to try and talk to her again, reason with her. I never fucking expected to get a call that she’d been hit by a truck and was barely alive. I spared no expense getting the best doctor to transport her to the pack and care for her.I had now been watching the doctor do this thing and run tests on her for hours. It was getting late and I was mentally exhausted. Seeing her like this, it was too much. She never should have left me, never should have gone with that moron.“What do you think doctor,” I asked, not being able to s
~Tyra’s Point of View~I’m running, the wet, cold grass and mud are beneath my bare feet, sucking me down but it can’t hold me. I have to see it, I have to get there. I can’t miss it, I never miss it no matter what. It’s been pouring down rain for days straight, but it can’t keep me away.I finally see it, within my view and I just have to get to it. I finally throw myself at the block of stone, crying out. Every year it’s a different emotion for me, but not for him. But it’s never her fault. Anger, rage, it all comes to the surface on this day. The happiest day of the year in any pup’s life. The day my dad did everything possible to show how much he loved me, then he’d storm away from me in anger and rage. The ultimate tipping point.
My heart absolutely sank when Ash said I couldn’t leave, that Zach could keep me overnight, since it was best I stay in the pack hospital. I didn’t trust Zach a fucking BIT, and no one should!! Like death was somehow a deterrent to marking me? I couldn’t show him how pissed I was … how terrified I was really.Zach was trying to be charming by feeding me, opening the windows and telling me how nice it was outside. He even took me on a little walk in the hallways to get me up and moving a bit. My body was so damn stiff and putting weight on my feet was so hard, I had to keep holding Zach for support and he was relishing in it. All I could do was think about Ridge and how pissed he must be, how helpless he must feel.We were watching TV when I finally said, “don’t you think you need to get ready for tomorrow?”
~Zach’s Point of View~I watched Tyson go down the hall with Tyra, and I didn’t like it a bit. But I knew it would get me some brownie points with her and I needed all the help I could get.“Want me to go listen,” Ryan asked.I shook my head.“No, leave them be. Why don’t you guys go get some air for a couple minutes and come back, in case Tyson doesn’t want to leave,” I said, looking at my other warriors.“How the hell did he even get here, past our guards,” I asked.“Just like that cat did the other day, just teleported in, out of nowhere without permission,” Ryan said, pissed off.
~Tyra’s Point of View~There were easily fifty people out here to watch the challenge. I was completely sick to my stomach and had barely been able to eat anything all day. Reba was being a lunatic, yelling at me to find our mate. The full moon was nearly upon us and the pull of it in the air was simply too much to bear. It was going to be our first full moon together, and I desperately hoped with Ridge.I was sitting in a camping chair at the top of the fighting ring, front row seat. Zach had been all over me all day long and we’d had a huge fight because he wanted to help me shower and I insisted the nurse do it. Thankfully I won that argument.I was really impressed at how much more I’d healed since waking up, since I only ever knew how slowly I healed before as a mere human.
