~Zane~ “I thought you'd forgotten your way to my office? Must have wiped away from your memory just like it did for Lexa right?” I uttered from my seat, staring straight at my gamma who finally found his way here. Surprisingly, all by himself. He forced out a small smile, bowing a little then stood upright to face me. “I just wanted to know when I can continue training Lexa and Christine.” He went straight to the point, his eyes darkened like he was angry but he wouldn’t in any way act on it. Except he wanted to send a personal message to the moon goddess himself. I grinned at him. Playing with the pen in my hand, hitting it lightly on the table. “Why? They just started today, why the rush?” The best I could do was to either smile or laugh. I knew why but I’d rather go around the box with him. “Because she doesn’t really like people and it might only make learning harder for her.” He answered, looking at me like he knew her best. That made me angry immediately but as alph
~Lexa~ “Christine!” I yelled out her name, one hand on my waist and the other on my head. I’ve been searching and even took mum’s advice of searching where she thought I wouldn’t search but I still couldn’t find her. But now she was sitting in a corner of the bathroom she said she was going to. Why didn't I check here earlier? She looked up slowly, her face puffy and a bit red. She didn’t look teary so she wasn’t crying “hey.” She responded. “I was looking everywhere for you, I got scared.” I muttered gently, scared I would use the wrong tone with her. I walked closer to her and took a seat beside her on the floor. Okay. Maybe mum was right because I wouldn’t have thought of searching the one place she said she was going to. She chose the bathroom no one ever used, at the extreme end of our wing. “I’m sorry, I just got a bit carried away for a minute, I didn’t mean to scare you.” She looked at me sweetly, apologizing with her eyes while I battled within myself on how t
~Lexa~ Where the hell did she go? I’ve been walking and searching everywhere in the pack house. Normally there was a different wing where all the healers stayed and did their thing. That was exactly where she was supposed to be if not in my room. “Have you seen Christine, mum?” I asked immediately I knocked, stepping into the room like it was mine. “Hello to you too, dear.” She smiled at me. “Sorry mum, I just really needed Christine right now.” I returned the smile, not wanting to say more than that. “Why? Aren’t you both supposed to be together? Training?” She asked, arranging a pile of stuff into her wardrobe.“Ehm yea. We were done and she just suddenly disappeared.” I lied. She didn’t need to know the real details. If she knew the truth she'd likely go pull Josh’s ear till he apologized. And I didn’t want that. It’ll only make matters worse when people start talking about it. I won’t mind it but Christine wouldn’t surely appreciate the eyes on her. She stopped wh
~Lexa~ He didn’t ask me questions, he wasn’t also saying anything … so he’s going to allow it? Before I got the chance to say anything again he spoke up. “No slacking off, always be on time and lastly no staring at me.” He stated clearly, looking at me before he quickly turned to observe Christine before finishing up his sentence. “So you’ll train both of us?” I asked in a hurry, amused and shocked but I still just had to confirm again. He looked at me as I said that. “Don’t keep reminding me what I’m forced to do and get into positions.” He said with all sense of seriousness. His face stern as you could already see that he didn't want to do this but he had no choice. We nod our heads together, sealing our lips shut and getting into positions immediately. We got busy for a while, with Christine having a blast but still struggled not to stare like he said. I focused on everything he showed us, making sure I didn’t forget a thing. I’ve never ever seen Christine be so ser
~Lexa~ We got up on time and prepared to go train. I just really wanted to act like I didn’t see her smiling all through. She was grinning so wide that you’ll think she just found her mate. Maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned that last night… oopsie. I just hope I don’t get killed later on. We both walked quietly to the training hall and I did my very best not to say anything. “Hey B.” Xavier walked up to me, a big smile on his face and a bottle of water in one of his hands. I didn’t meet him yesterday because he had some pack matters handed to him or so, that was what Christine told me. I walked into him and accepted the hug he was giving out. “Oh Xavier.” I hugged him, forging a crying voice. “You’ve been good huh?” He asked in his usual smooth caring tone. His eyes scanned me to check for any damages. Xavier was just so different from the rest, he always has a reassuring smile and you know he sincerely cared. No hidden plan to hurt someone or force someone to do what
~Lexa~ “Why didn’t you tell me you were leaving me to follow the alpha?” Annika squealed out. The split loud sound she made almost made me go deaf at once. “Jeez!” I moved backwards, using my hands to cover my ears. Demonstrating with my hands that she was being too loud. “Oh come on, it’s not that loud.” She brushed it aside, grinning so wide that you’ll think I won a lottery or something. “Well clearly I was forced… again! And I also told Xavier to let you know since I was literally dragged. You were busy with your healing stuff and..” I tried explaining, under her intense gaze as her eyes were literally ogling me. “You know I don’t really care about that Lexa.” She used her hand to demonstrate, shrugging whatever I just said off. Her eyes were fixed on me, waiting for something specific. “What? I thought you were mad I didn’t let you know before going?” I said acting like I wasn’t surprised because literally I wasn’t. I knew she loved and cared for me but I knew wha
