Kayden’s pov

I stated at him for a while as he smiled at me and nodded.

"I've watched you for a while now," he told me after a while. "You have the strength but you can improve better.”

“Oh great. And I’m guessing it’s you who can teach me.”

He nodded, slowly, like he wasn’t trying to insult me. “Most people here fight with emotion. You fight with control. I like that.”

I crossed my arms. "Then what?"

He peered out the window to the practice field then back at me. "Your father and I will be leaving soon, we are returning to your home pack, in addition I will be visiting some of the other subordinate packs as well. Training their warriors on how to fight like soldiers."

I nodded. “So what do you need me for? You have it all figured out.”

He let out a low chuckle. “I want someone to train with. Someone who doesn’t crumble after the first punch.”

“Why not go with any of the other guys? They’re all hungry enough.”

He laughed. “Hungry, sure. But they’re weak. I’d kill them. You, though…” H

    Mira’s povI glanced over at him, really looked at him. The boy who had come barging into my life with his messed-up brand of loyalty, his razor-sharp tongue, his fists that were somehow both ready to fly and the first to defend—and his heart, buried someplace deep beneath it all.“Yeah,” I said. “For now, it is.”He shook his head, his hands balling into fists at his sides. “No. I won’t let this end like this.”“It already has, Kayden.”He stepped closer and his voice was rough. “Then give me one more chance. I’ll go to my dad. I’ll tell him everything. I’ll stop pretending. I’ll fight for us.”"Kayden—""I love you, Mira," he said, desperate now. “I love you and I know I was a coward but I can fix things. You mean more to me than this pack. Than whatever future they’ve carved out for me. It’s not a future without you in it.”“You’re only hurting us even more. Don’t do it.”Before I could say anymore our lips clashed with passion as I couldn’t hold myself any longer.Something inside

    Mira’s povI woke up with a headache that gnawed on the back of my eyes and ate at my brain. I could taste alcohol on my mouth and even then I shook my head to keep away the lights from blinding me.What the fuck had I done last night?I starred trying to remember eveeyth bg I had done last night.Zane. The bar. The mail.Kayden.I thought for a while before sigj bg and closing my eyes.“Fuck!” I slowly yelled as I tried to get up but my joints ached while walking.I headed into the bathroom to try to clear my head as I turned on the water and let it hit my skin. It was freezing but I probably deserved it. Soon enough I adjusted to the temperature and I started to get back myself as it started to feel calming.I stayed under it too long. I needed to get my sanity back.After a couple more minutes, I dragged myself up as I headed to the mirror and cleaned myself with the towel hanging there.My eyes were red and puffy looking. I didn’t even reach for my make-up bag. Why bother? I was

    Mira’s povShe read through it over and over again as she looked at me like I had just stabbed her.She sighed and pinned her butt down on her seat as she looked at me with confused eyes.“You really want to go for this thing?” She asked as I shrugged.“I don’t know?”“What do you mean you don’t know?”There was a sort of silence between us then too. Not an angry silence or anything… just kind of sad. The way you’d try not to let yourself get disappointed.“I don’t know: I’m still thinking about it,” was my answer as I burped and apologized with a wave of my hand. She could see that I was clearly wasted.“Then I need your decision by morning,” she said finally, voice softer now. “We’ll talk about it then.”I nodded and got up. I had no fucking idea what I was doing. Or where the sudden lead weight in my chest had come from. The wine was still swirling through me, thick and dumb, but my legs just started moving— step after step on their own— out of her office and down the hallway.Hal

    Kayden’s pov“Dad, I didn’t start it, he did. All I wanted was some peace and quiet. I tried to tell him it wasn’t a good idea.”“You absolutely eviscerated that poor guy.”“He deserved worse.”My father raised a brow but didn’t respond to that. “Lucas is still an elder, Kayden. You should hold back some more. Stop tossing people around. What’s gotten into you? I thought you’d be happy for me.”“I am.”“Then what were you doing in a secluded place and why were you involved in a fight?”I couldn’t say anything. We stayed in silence for a while before I sighed.“I’m really sorry dad,” I muttered. And I meant it. Not for the fight. But for causing him trouble on a day that was supposed to be perfect for him.He looked at me, then nodded once. “You’re lucky. Witnesses said Lucas swung first. Said you held back. That’s the only reason this won’t escalate further.”I nodded.“But you need to stay out of trouble. At least for tonight. Can you do that for me?"I smiled slightly and nodded. "

    Kayden’s povSince I was done with Mira, I turned away from the garden as I needed to stay alone for a while.I needed to clear my head. The noise of the party was drowning out my thoughts.I didn’t want to control her. I just didn’t want that guy around her. Not Lucas. Not after what he had done to her in the past. And now she hated me for it.I slowly walked with my hands in my pockets as I made my way to the back of the packhouse and went to a small lake where no one would find me.I stood there for a while as the muffled sounds of music bared through the crowds.Then I heard it.A soft rustling of grass. I heard footsteps.I didn’t even need to turn to know who it was. The smell of it hit me before anything else. Thick. Familiar. Arrogant.“Stop hiding, Lucas,” I said loud and clear, not having to turn around to know it was him. “You’ve always been a chicken, don’t start sneaking now.”Then I turned, slowly, and there he was — Lucas, stepping out from behind the trees. His face wa
