“Excuse me?” I almost yelled.“What do you mean she would be staying in my room?”“Can you please give us some minutes?” He turned to her.“Sure, I’ll step out” She stood flashing me a wicked smile as she walked past me. “That room was a guest room used to welcome special visitors” He continued after she closed the door.Oh, so she is special. This is ridiculous. Is he chasing me out for her to stay in the room or is he expecting me to share the room with her?“And where do you expect me to stay? For this special visitor of yours to take the room”“My room. Where you were supposed to stay” He deadpanned.“You know what? I’m going back to the girl's quarters, your special visitor might as well sleep in your room”“Are you jealous right now?”I huffed “What? You wish” I quickly defended.“I don’t have time for tantrums. You will do no such thing. She is only here for a few days. You have no choice, little human”“She must be really special if you’re asking me to leave the room for her”

I moved back into the guest room after Amice left, it was no longer news to me that the heat period affects me too. Moving out of the Alpha’s room was definitely a good idea, to avoid bending to my body’s needs in this heat. I was finally good and my wound fully closed up with the passing of days. I was starting training with Aztec today, so I got ready and walked with him to the training ground.The warriors were in their training leathers sparring each other, Personally, it looked way too serious to be called training or sparring. Some of them fought in wolf form while the others fought in human form. I stood on a training mat with Aztec and we faced each other.“Now you are going to come at me, give me your deadliest punch” his knees were bent and the top of his body bent forward while he set his arm in front of him, his palm facing me.“Come on human show me what you got”I launched closer, throwing my fists in his raised palm.I cringed at how weak my punches were and how unaffe

I couldn’t shake off the bad feeling I had for some reason. I was worried about Aztec and also worried about Keanu. I didn’t sleep a wink throughout the night and it was now morning. I heard a soft knock on my door and hurried to open it. “Tolan?” My voice held surprise. The Alpha had left with some warriors and Tolan was the head warrior, he should be with them. What was he doing here?“Good morning Jade” He greeted with a little smile.“Why are you here? You didn’t go with the Alpha yesterday?”“No, he instructed me to stay and watch you while he is gone. And I’ll be training with you this morning too”My heart melted. Tolan was his strongest warrior and he thought about me enough to ask him to stay and watch me despite our argument. It didn’t sit right with me that our last conversation ended in a fight. I hoped with everything in me that he was okay.I didn’t think I was in the right state of mind for training but on the other hand, it’ll be a good form of distraction. Tolan wa

ALPHA KEANU’S POV Jade was stubborn as hell and it was infuriating. I was only trying to keep her safe but her hate for me wasn’t letting me. I can’t exactly fault her because I pushed her to it with my actions. I watched as she stormed out of the training ground angrily. I didn’t mean for the word to come out that way. I never for once saw her as weak. I just know she could do more than this and that was what I was trying to let her know.Aztec was going easy on her, I will have to train constantly with her. I almost lost her once and that was the most devastating day of my life. The fear I felt that night was one I had never felt before. That was an eye-opener for me.All these while I have been hiding my emotions behind love, too scared to show it for the fear of rejection and abandonment. No one will truly love me when they come to know me. She saw my scars and the look on her face was something I wouldn’t want to see again. The disgust, pity, and shock, it tore me. I loved it wh

His head moved from my neck to look at me. “Jade,” He warned.“Please, I want you” I placed my forehead on his.“Fuck, say that again” His eyes were staring deep into mine.“Keanu I want you” I repeated and he crashed his lips back to mine instantly. There was hunger in it this time. He kissed me like I was water and he had been thirsty for days. His tongue once again sought entrance into my mouth and I opened up for him.In between kisses, his hands unzipped my dress. He slowly slid it off me and it fell down my body, pooling around my legs. He stepped back a little to look at me and I heard a low cuss from him as he stared at my bare chest. I was in nothing except my panties.“You're so beautiful” He whispered.His hands traced my curves down to my hips. He hooked his fingers to my underwear, ripping it out. His hands came back up stopping below my breast at my mate symbol.“Mine” His eyes were on it. Sparks lighted inside me at the contact.Slowly his thumb moved up, stopping at m
