Chapter 20

When we finally got back in Kent’s house, we found his sister making herself at home on the couch.“Hey, you sent Bryce out of town so I'm sleeping over. What’s for dinner?” Alice said with a large smile plastered on her face.“Really Alice, you can’t survive one night alone?” Kent responded in a playful tone.“Well, I could but where’s the fun in that.” She finished by throwing a pillow at an unsuspecting Kent who let out a startled laugh.“I see your mate finally decided to move in.” She continued looking right at me. I could feel my cheeks pale. “Oh relax, I'm the only one that knows. I know my brother better than anyone, I knew the second I saw him looking at you during training.”I was shocked but thinking maybe it would be nice to have someone else to talk to about everything.“Alice, she isn’t here because she’s my mate.”“Doesn&

I longed for a peaceful night’s sleep, time to relax and recharge for the crazy weekend. I hoped in vain knowing life had more than just sleep in store for me. It seemed as though I had just drifted to off when I was met with the blinding light that I was beginning to associate with Selene's presence. All I wanted was to return to Kent but again even in my sleep my life wasn’t mine to control.“Hey,” I said yawning as Selene approached me.Her smile was a little reproachful as she replied with a proper “Hello.”“So what’s the goal for tonight?”“You will learn to split your attention to protect yourself and others. Have you practiced at all?”I wasn’t sure why she was asking. Even her tone seemed to suggest that she knew I hadn’t. Still I explained mine and Richard’s intentions to set up time for practice in the training gym the following afternoon. Thinking of Richard, I tri

After a quick meal and thanking Dana, I found myself knocking on my makeshift class room door. Richard reply was immediate.“Come in.”Once again he was perched on the edge of his desk with his eyes focused on a book. He barely looked up as I took my seat and waited. After a few minutes, Richard finally peeled his eyes from the pages and focused them on me.“We shall start with your school work again for the first four hours, one hour for our history and then I have arranged for us to have a private lesson in the training center. This will be our schedule from here on out and Kent has asked that you also join in his training class on Tuesdays and Thursdays after our own.”I nodded in agreement and we dove into my basic class work. Four hours passed by quickly and finally we began on the history of werewolves.“Did you find out anything new?” Richard asked with anticipation.“Not as much as I would like and still

After training, my level of exhaustion had skyrocketed. I had spent my life in excellent physical shape but I was beginning to realize I wasn’t in top shape for magic. It would be some time before I would be able to fully control it.The only positive of training was that I finally got to see Kent. Knowing that I would be too strong for his other pack members, Kent and I trained together. Having my energy drained from magic gave Kent an edge allowing him to take me down over and over. Normally I would have been upset, but having him overpower me was starting to make me feel something I’d never felt before. Every time he slammed my body to the ground, I felt a small twinge between my legs and my breath catch. I couldn’t keep from thinking of seeing Kent shirtless and imaging him in bed. I was sure it was just the mate bond pushing the images into my head but still it threw me off balance more and more allowing Kent the upper hand.After training was

My night was exactly what I had come to expect as I felt my life settling into its new routine. It seemed to be only moments after I was wrapped in peaceful sleep that I found myself once again greeted by the blinding light of Selene. As used to it as I was getting, I still resented every interruption of my sleep. It wasn’t that she was really stealing sleep from me but rather that I couldn’t avoid it and was brought here each night against my own will. When my eyes finally met Selene,
