Rejected but not forgiven

Chapter 4

Serena POV:

It’s been a few days since I’ve been back at the pack and i haven’t been out that much in fear of having the awkward conversation with my Father. He hasn’t bothered to come to seek me out since I’ve been here and I don’t know whether that’s a good sign or a bad sign just yet. I woke up today feeling very antsy and feeling the need to move, I’d asked Sienna the schedule for training and found things haven’t changed that much since I was last here and training is still at 7am sharp, with this in mind I drag myself out of bed and walk in the shower after washing myself and brushing my teeth I get dressed for training which consists of a sports bra and some skin tight cycle shorts I pair it with my trainers and tie a hoody round my waist incase it gets cold. Finally ready I walk to the training grounds in the pack women and men are allowed to train which is different to most the packs around as they see woman should be doing washing, cooking and cleaning ect I know how sexist but what can you do when you have pig headed men involved as alphas who see women as the weaker species. I didn’t train before I left as I wasn’t interested in it too much but since meeting the guys they insisted they teach me incase I ever needed it, I tried to decline at first but found that I really did enjoy it. I didn’t ever get to put my skills in to play because whenever there was a problem the guys always sorted it out no issues it was mostly when we were out clubbing and drunk i***t men would try to get a feel and would not understand the word no. As I take in the scenery around me there’s pups running round playing wildly, some have there mothers chasing them trying to get them dressed for school and others are too busy on the park trying to get some play time in before school. I breathe in the crisp smell of fresh grass and the pine off the trees and sigh, this would be the only thing I would miss here if I decide to move back to london, but nowhere will ever smell better than home. Arriving at the training grounds i untie my hoodie and throw it to the side and decide to start stretching before the training begins, as I’m just finishing my stretches I notice a familiar head of silver curls so I run and jump on his back he doesn’t make a move to get me off but smiles when I jump down. He spins around so fast and I’m crushed in a long hug I can definitely see where Sienna gets her strength from I take comfort in the hug of the man that has been a Dad and friend to me when I needed him. “How have you been princess I’ve missed you so much!!I was going to come and see you but wanted you to settle in first, you’ve grown so much your definitely not the little girl that I remember!” I hold onto the hug a little longer than needed but Thomas didn’t mind. “I’ve missed you so much too it’s been too long your still looking as young as ever Tom, I’m glad your training us it means I can show you my moves.” Tom just laughs as we catch up but fails to tell me he’s not training us by himself today, I tense as the familiar smell enters my nose and my senses make me want to run I’m so nervous but I stay put as there’s no point avoiding it forever. But it seems I worried for no reason as my Father walks straight past me to the front and doesn’t even look in my direction, it stings to know he hasn’t forgiven me but can I blame him if I wasn’t in the woods and was at home that day things could have went differently. “Attention, pair up and spar NOW!!” Roars my Fathers voice and it’s safe to say I’m the reason for the tone of that voice. Thomas turns towards me gives me a small reassuring smile and gestures for us to start circling each other. After half an hour of me continuously pinning Uncle Thomas down we sit down and have a rest, he grabs two bottles of water and we both sit there enjoying the silence. “So how was london congratulations on being a qualified doctor now, your mom would be so proud.” I shrug my shoulders and smile “It was great I miss it already Dean and Sammy qualified too but with Dean being Beta when he goes back he won’t be working as a pack doctor I’m not too sure about what Sammy wants to do just yet.” He smiles and gives me a hug. “You shouldn’t blame yourself for what happened I wasn’t your fault your mom would want you to be happy.” As always he sees through my strong front and can see how I’m feeling on the inside he’s always been able to do that with me, so there’s never been any point trying to hide how I’m feeling with him.
