Training is brutal in the morning, Naya and I go over some defense moves, and I’m still somewhat annoyed at her about the day before. If she notices she doesn’t show just keep our sparing session as normal. So I try to put it behind me.“You’re focused today, good,” Naya comments at the end of our session, like she didn’t rat me out to our alpha hence his visit last night. “No running today you guys, we continue tomorrow,” Colin announces with a clapped as he stands at the side watching.While a few others wonder and ask why, I’m just happy we don’t get to run today. After Zayne left last night, I slept for a while but woke up a few hours after, my heart pounding with the same nightmare. I bid Oliver bye as I hurry back to the lodge, opting for a shower, after rolling on the ground I certainly need one. Maybe I should eat first? I'm hungry as well, I think as I stroll into the kitchen contemplating only to jerk to a stop, blinking a few times. I yelped at the sight in front of me. Ke

*** The living room is empty when I walk past it, marching up the stairs to his office, excited by my idea, I knock once, then twice. When I don’t hear anything, a frown pulls at my lips. I clasped the knob, turn, and push the door open only to come up empty, where’d he go? I step inside, looking around, “Zayne?” I call out his name. When silence greets me, I roll my eyes in frustration, it’s not like he is invisible or something. Clearly, he's not here. Shit. Backing away, I hurry downstairs to the kitchen, Emma is holding a broom in the middle of tidying. “Hi, Emma” I greet “I’m sorry, do you know where Zayne might be? He’s not in his office” I indicated behind me using my thumb. She gives me a once over, a wide knowing smile appearing on her lips, her hair in its signature bun, a smooth wooden pin holding it in place. “I’m not sure, he could be in a meeting or just making rounds at this time” Shit. I clasp my hands together, “Is it okay if I waited here for him?” “

A gasp leaves my lips and I ach off the bed.I had felt his breath first, light my skin, his scent surrounds me, a hint of rain and amber, his weight presses against the bed, behind me? My back arched to feel more of him. Light fingertips trail down my arm and my side, it slips under the hem of my top. Heat spreads everywhere, from the points of his finger on the soft skin on my belly to my core, to my chest, between my legs, to my curled toes and my fingertips. Heat then the light pad of his fingers skim over my hips. My back arch and I roll over unto my back.Soft kisses trail down my front, down my belly and even lower. I tense all over in anticipation.Another soft barely there kiss is placed on the junction between my thighs, I sighed loudly. Where’d my clothes go? Do I care?No. No I do now.I tremble instead, begging. “Please…” the word a soft throaty cry as his tongue dance languidly between my legs. His hand smooths from my hip to my thigh as he holds me down to the bed,

Last night I woke up sometime to zayne crawling back into bed. I called out his name sleepily trying to wake up fully. But he only dropped a kiss in my shoulder and said “sleep, it’s still late” then wrapped him arms around me from behind. Like he ordered. I snuggled into him and went back to sleep. He was gone by the time I woke up. Right now I’m enjoying a leisure walk in the woods. It’s being a while since I shifted and there’s no need for me to be cautious anymore so I opted to enjoy a few hours on four legs, feeling the breeze in my fur, chasing the wind on my tongue. I already had a good stretch so now I’m content to walk, nearing the trees I kept my clothes before shifting , I jumped over a fallen log, landing on my paws then yelped at the growl behind. I spin around, so swift even in my haste, then I take not one but two steps back at the giant black wolf now in front of me. A male from its size, dominant from the air around him, the stillness from his stance, silver

I’m already doing push ups by the time the sun comes up. Sweat drips down my body as I lower down until my chin almost touches the wooden floors of my room before pushing back up.When the trembling left my body as I woke up from my blood scenting nightmare, so did all drops of sleep in my blood.But I felt somewhat fired up, left over Adrenaline from engaging in compact even in my dreams. I needed to to something with it, hence the work out.Soon enough it’ll be time for training. I finish my final set and only manage to roll on my back as strength leaves my arms. Sucking in gasps of air into my lungs.Ah Goddess, what I’d give to stop seeing the acolytes in my dreams. I wish as I wipe my forehead with the back of my hand.I roll to my feet ignoring the soreness in my belly muscles as I practically crawl to the bathroom.I’m feeling a little better when I dress up and head downstairs for training.At the arena, my eyes go in search of Micah, he gives me a nod then walks to the ot
