(Alexa's POV)I clenched my fist tightly, I clenched my teeth inwardly as I couldn't find a word to respond. I glared at him with my watery eyes as I tried to suppress my anger. Why must he be so blunt? Was he really my mate? Or I was the only one who was overthinking things?"Since you have nothing else to say, let's start our training now." Ezekiel suddenly spoke again. He put his hands behind his back before he continued, "Come, attack me with all you've got. I promise that I won't fight back. If you managed to hit me or scratch any part of my body including my hair and clothes, you win. The training will not be over unless you win."His words awakened me and made my eyes widen for a short moment. But after that short moment, a wide smile suddenly appeared on my lips. Finally! This bastard had lost his mind. I was itching to make him my punching bag. Now that he ask for it, I would definitely not turn down the offer."I will definitely make sure you will regret it!" I replied with
(Alexa's POV)Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!Swoosh!I was breathing heavily. I felt like my knees were going to fail, inviting me to collapse on the ground. Still, I restrained myself from doing so as I attacked Ezekiel with everything I got.Though, of course, I wasn't able to hit him at all."What the hell are you doing?""Have you forgotten already about what I told you yesterday? Are you really that stupid for you to use your brain?"As I attacked him continuously, Ezekiel would also run his mouth constantly. And that only made me want to hit him more."Don't just attack randomly!""Remember the feeling when you made that giant splash yesterday. Instead of applying it to your hand, apply it to your senses.""What the hell?! Are you even listening?""With this level of talent, did you really think that you will be able to avenge yourself? Stop dreaming. Your enemy is the Savage Tyranny pack! Hard work is not enough to beat them, you need talent!"Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!After my continuous pointless
(Alexa's POV)"You should have at least pretended that you couldn't react on time and let me hit your stupid face." I rolled my eyes in displeasure, seeing that I failed to give Ezekiel his rightful fist. Although I managed to hit him and won against him, my victory didn't make me feel that good. I wasn't satisfied at all.But what else could I do? I was now breathing more heavily than before as I was drained out of my strength. I felt like I was about to collapse on the ground at any moment. I couldn't possibly hit Ezekiel anymore with the state I was currently in, right?"You should be proud of yourself that you managed to win. Others might not be able to do so in such a short period of time," Ezekiel replied. As always, his tone was nonchalant. Although right now, I could see a small trace of happiness in his eyes. Perhaps, it was because I still got my senses enhanced that was why I was seeing things.But what he said didn't comfort me at all nor give me satisfaction. I didn't rea
(Author's POV)"Hm... She caught on really quickly. Is she some kind of genius now?" Ezekiel muttered inwardly as he stared at Alexa who was currently meditating. He found it hard to believe that with just a simple explanation he told her once, she was able to grasp everything. And right now, he could tell that she was in the depth of her consciousness.He shouldn't disturb her. Because he knew that this was a critical moment where a slight disturbance might cause her harm, especially to her mental state. He needed to secure the place and protect her at her weakest.However, as he was staring at Alexa, he suddenly took notice of the beauty she possessed. He was put into a trance as though some kind of force was attracting him to stare at her intently. He had already seen countless beautiful women in his life, but none of them managed to put him in such a state. This little girl was just too beautiful to behold.Was it because of their mate bond? Ezekiel swallowed his dry saliva at the
(Alexa's POV)When Ezekiel touched me, a spark of heat existed inside me. I couldn't understand what I felt at that moment. All I knew was that his touch gave me a warm feeling.But when I realized that I was losing my composure again, I instinctively slapped Ezekiel's hand off of me. I mean, I wanted his hand to stay there, but I couldn't possibly show him that I wanted it so badly, right? He might think of me as some kind of a slut or something."I'm fine, so don't touch me." I then spoke. Still, I felt my cheeks burning hot as I couldn't meet Ezekiel in the eyes."?" Ezekiel didn't reply to me immediately though. He only looked at me for several moments as a huge question mark floated over his head. And then he said, "It seems like you've gained back your strength. Let's continue our training then."Only then did I gain the courage to meet him in the eyes. I revealed a faint smile before I replied, "Okay, I'm ready anytime. What should we do next?"Just like that, Ezekiel explained
(Alexa's POV)"Whatever is in your mind, hurry up and shake them off. You're too obvious." Ezekiel suddenly spoke nonchalantly.His remark made me feel embarrass as I immediately shook away my dirty thoughts. I forced out a bitter smile as I replied, "What are you talking about? Let's continue training already.""Here, take this." Ezekiel replied as he outstretched his hand and gave me a piece of silk. It was the clothe I used to blindfold myself yesterday in our training."This again?" I asked in response as I reluctantly grabbed the blindfold from his hand. Out of all the training we did yesterday, this was the most annoying. And it was no doubt the training I hated the most among all the others.After all, Ezekiel would attack me while I was being blindfolded, giving him the chance to take advantage of me. I even doubted that it was really a training as I thought that Ezekiel was only making fun of me."Yes, but this time, I won't attack you anymore," Ezekiel responded nonchalantly
(Alexa's POV)It was now noon. And the mighty sun was up there watching me in my struggle. Even after a couple of hours, I was still not able to reach Ezekiel as countless traps would be there to obstruct me.And right now, I was lying down on the ground gasping hard for air while my limbs spread apart. I was completely drenched in sweat and my strength had long left my body. I couldn't even move an inch anymore."What now? Giving up already? Is that everything you can do? How can you hit me when you are this weak?"I was still trying to muster up some strength when suddenly, an annoying voice echoed again. I had heard him speak so many times now. And every word that came out from his lips could instantly make my blood boil. Just why on earth was he trying to get on my nerves so much?But I must admit that his provocation really gave a boost to my strength. If not for that, then I must have given up already a long time ago. I really wanted to smack his face so hard that even his paren
Alexa's Deep Consciousness...Alexa's PoV.‘‘Oh? You're back early. Have you mated with your mate just as I told you before?’’I heard a familiar voice and I quickly opened my eyes in response. To my surprise, I was back at the place where my wolf had been imprisoned. It was where the giant cage was.‘‘Mated?’’ But her words took me by surprise even more. My cheeks burned hot as only then did I recall again that I needed to do that for me to free my wolf. ‘‘Not yet. I'm still readying myself.’’‘‘Readying? Do you mean ‘slacking’? Don't waste your time and mate with him right now! Don't you want to free me? Don't you want to gain enough strength for you to avenge your parents and entire pack?!’’ My wolf replied. But her words had taken me aback.‘‘What do you mean?’’ I couldn't help but ask, my eyes narrowed slightly in confusion. Avenge my parents? That wasn't my intention at all as I intended to avenge myself, not my parents. And as far as I remembered, I didn't have a parent to begi
