Amelia POV
I woke up the next morning on time for my first day of training. I was still excited even though I hadn’t spoken or seen Jaxson since I ignored him yesterday. Basically locking myself in our room and not leaving for the majority of the evening. The only time I allowed myself out was to run downstairs into the kitchen for dinner to grab a small plate. I made such good friends with the omegas that they were more than helpful. The head chef Mabel is the sweetest old lady I have ever met! She is like the grandma I never had which truly warmed my heart. When I came down to assist the last time she was more than happy to have my help and make me feel welcomed.
Mabel made me a special plate filled with extra homemade Mac and Cheese which is my favorite. With a side salad, baked potato and a medium done steak. Which is just the way I like it. The funniest part was that I never told her any of that but I guess that’s her secret super power.
After I grabbed my tray of food I made my way upstairs and turned on the TV not really knowing what to watch. In the end I was hooked on this TV show called ‘Grey's Anatomy’ it’s about humans who become doctors which is kinda cool but I actually liked it more for it’s crazy romance scenes.
I spent the rest of the night either watching that or reading. Then eventually falling asleep. Before I fell asleep though I heard Jaxson on the other side of the door. He knocked a couple of times and called out my name but I never answered. I know I technically shouldn’t be mad because even when I first came her I told him I couldn’t be his Luna. And now I’m upset that he wasn’t even planning on looking for me in the first place and was just going to fill my spot with whatever women he saw fit.
Honestly it hurt me more than I expected. Maybe because I grew such strong feelings for him or maybe even the bond but I couldn’t imagine another women with him. It just made my inside boil with anger. He begged me to be his Luna after he basically already promised to give it to some other women. It truly brought out the feelings of just being used as Jaxsons Mate s*x toy as he had another girl running the pack next to him.
As I made my way into the closet I decided I was going to take this opportunity to show him who the best Luna and mate is. Slipping into a pair of tight fitting of gray running shorts, a light pink sports bra and a pair of black running shoes, I decided as I was ready while I walked out tying my hair up into a high pony tail. I opened the door and before I walked out I noticed a shocked Nicole in mid knock at my door.
“Hey Amelia! Alpha sent me up here to get you, you ready?” She smiled. I looked her up and down as she was in basically the same outfit as me but in a turquoise color. I was happy I wasn’t going to look out of place.
“All ready!” I reply excitedly as I walked with her down the stairs and out the door.
We made our way to the same training fields that I stumbled upon last time as we walked and talked. “You know the pack already loves you, they all think you are amazing.” Nicole told me.
I looked at her shocked by her statement. I haven’t even done anything, why do they love me? “Yeah right, There isn’t much to love about me.” I half joke but partially serious.
“Amelia, I wish one day you see your own strength and love through someone else's eyes because you have no clue how amazing you are.” I kept walking not being able to form a reply to that so we ended up just making our way in complete awkward silence. She doesn’t understand what I’ve been through, what terrible things I’ve done. Truthfully she wouldn’t feel that way if she knew all of my secrets.
Once we made it to the training field I stood with Nicole while other wolfs and warriors made there way in. I heard a scream come from behind me and turn around in surprise before I realized it was just Delilah. “I’m so happy you came! We are going to have so much fun!” Everyone’s bubbly attitude this morning is slightly annoying but it makes me laugh at her as she screamed about hours of strength building torcher.
We all mingled in the crowd until I smelt his amazing Sandalwood scent and noticed Nolan, Mason and Jaxson all walk out of the pull-barn building completely shirtless and sexy. My mouth waters at Jaxson bare chest and v-line as I remember kissing every inch of it the other night. My core clenches in need but I quickly push it down so that I don’t get carried away. I glance up to notice Jaxsons eyes on me in smugness because he caught me checking him out. I roll my eyes with pure annoyance at his cockiness and turn to Mason and Nolan for instructions.
But instead it was Jaxson who spoke first. “Ok everyone, today we are going to warm up with the usual ten mile run for warm up and then we will meet out here in the outdoor sparing rings to test a couple of people on their level. Let’s go!” he roars as he starts to lead the pack in the run. He’s fast but not as fast as me. I make my way to the top running pack easily while I keep pace behind the ranked members. When I past a few bodies I saw the look of shock or pride on their faces which just made me push harder, letting my feet take me through the rough forest terrain.
Eventually I was paced with Jaxson, Mason and Nolan who looked like this was an easy Sunday jog for them. I knew they all worked out often and hard so I wasn’t really surprised. I looked over and noticed Jaxson with his chest puffed out in pride as he looked at me run. Which made me feel good on the inside but I wasn’t going to show him that.
We all made our way back to the field as everyone split up into groups. I felt a pat on my back as everyone trickled their way in. “Wow Amelia, you are an amazing runner!” Mason exclaims.
“Thanks, it’s one of my favorite activity’s.” I smile back at him.
“I would love to go on some extra runs with you, you definitely made us all pick up our pace because I’m out of breath and usually that is a walk in the park for me.” We laugh together when Nolan and Jaxson both made their way to us.
Nolan spoke up first while Jaxson made his way to me but I stepped out of his reach making him vocalize a small growl. “You know Amelia, no ones ever been able to run faster than the alpha asshole here but I think you might have him beat.” Nolan laughs making Jaxs grumble.
“Well that is probably the only thing I’ll be good at today because I’ve never spared before.” I shrug as I wipe the sweat off my forehead.
This time Jaxs spoke up, “We are going to start you in the beginners group and see where you will go from there so don’t worry about it baby.” He says and reaches to grab my hand but I step back with annoyance and walk away from them without another word. The two guys start busting up laughing while I can feel Jaxsons eyes burning into the back of my head but I decide to ignore it because he deserves the silent treatment.
I am lost in my own thoughts when I feel an arm hook my elbow when I look I see Delilah looking at me, “Hey, so I’m in the beginner group too because I completely suck at fighting so you’ll get to be with me for the first round!” she says excitedly. I nod with a chuckle not surprised that Delilah isn’t much of a fighter, she just seems more of a lover to me which isn’t a bad thing. She quickly introduces me to the group which is just a bunch of girls who are probably made to train by their mates which is fine by me.
I look around and notice Nicole standing with another group and wave. Delilah notices and leans in the whisper, “Nicole is one of the best female fights here. Another she Wolfe hasn’t been able to beat her yet.” I smile with pride at my new friend. She surprises me so much and I love it. Once we all get situated, the group let’s me watching everyone first before they toss me in the ring so that I understand the basics at least. After a couple of matches they ask me if I’m ready and I’m pretty sure that I understand.
Luckily Delilah is my first opponent so she wasn’t expecting it when I swiped her feet from under her and pin her in two seconds. Everyone gasps so I stand up quickly and look around at the other wolfs. “I’m sorry did I do that completely wrong?” I ask nervously. Delilah stands up immediately and smacks my arm.
“It thought you said you’ve never done this before you liar!” She pouts but obviously not seriously.
“I swear I’ve never done it, I was just doing what she did in one of the matches.” I point to the girl that did it earlier as Delilah looked at me in shock.
“Do it again!” She yells but steps out of the ring for the next opponent to come in. We circle each other for a minute and instead of doing the side swipe I waited for the girl to throw the first punch and when she did I dodged the hit before grabbing her arms with both hands. From the position I twisted my body away from her and flipped her over my shoulder. She landed with a thud as I pinned her to the ground fast. Everyone in our ring cheered in excitement as I help the girl up and turn to check for my next opponent.
Eventually I made my way through all the girls in my group that they pushed me to the next group. This group was larger with mostly guys in it mixed with a couple of girls. I started off with the four girls and surprisingly ended up winning. Each move I use to win is from another person here which makes me laugh. I just memorize the attacks and defense then do my best to duplicate it mixing in other moves that I was everyone use. After finishing off the girls I started with the guys. The first warrior came up to me shook my hand and introduce himself as Jamison. I returned the gesture and stepped back to my spot in the ring before the fight began. At this point everyone is watching me. Luckily no one has landed any good hits which surprises me. This is one of the toughest and strongest packs in the world, maybe they are all going easy on me or something.
When I hear the call we start circling each other taking each other’s form before Jamison charges towards me. I dodge quickly, then turn around so to not get attack from behind. Now he starts again but instead throws different punches as me but I instantly block them all before he can land anything. I can tell he is running out of energy throwing attack after attack which eventually gives me an open window to throw a hit into his rib cage and then his jaw. Once he’s distracted I sweep his feet from under him and straddle his torso on the ground. I am in mid air with my next hit when I stop after noticing the look of lust in Jamisons eyes. I stop not knowing what to do in that moment when I hear an earth rattling growl.
In less than a second I’m thrown to the ground with so much power that my body shakes. Looking up at my attacker I see Jaxson pummeling Jamison over and over again. Growling with so much power that no one else even attempts to stop him. I stand up looking at Jamison not even attempting to fight back.
“Jaxson Stop!” I scream at him but it’s like he can’t even hear me. Running up to them I pull Jaxsons arm away mid punch, sending tingles through my body missing the familiar feeling. Instantly Jaxson relaxes from my touch. Quickly he surprised me by standing up and burying his face into my neck breathing in my scent. “What the hell is your problem?!” I scream pulling away from him to reach down and check on Jamison.
When I go to check Jamisons swollen face another low menacing growl rips forms Jaxsons chest. I send him a quick glare but before I could say anything Jamison spoke up, “It’s ok Luna, I’m fine.” He says holding up his hands in surrender as he got up off the ground slowly.
Jaxsons interrupted quickly making an announcement to the whole group. “Amelia will no longer be allowed to spare with anyone else other than myself, Nolan, Mason and Nicole.” He turns to me grabbing my arm and pulling me into the large pull-barn.
As he pushes me in I immediately turn around to scream at him but instead I’m met with his arms wrapped around my waist. His lips connecting full force with mine making the fireworks go off. Suddenly I’m slammed into the barn wall being pressed into it by his firm body. At this point I’m a moaning mess sending each one down his throat. Nails continued to dig into my skin while he finally released my lips and kissed, licked, and sucked down my neck to the swell of my breasts then back up.
His deep sexy voice coming through my conscious bringing me out of my cloud of lust. “I don’t like seeing you straddling another male, mate!” His warm breath fanned my skin. “You are mine! MINE!” He growled again.
Before I knew what I was saying I moaned out in pleasure, “Yes, yours” My body was on fire now, barley being able to hold back my actions. Well that was until my thoughts kick back in to what brought us here. “No! Get off!” I push Jaxson with all my might and finally reluctantly released me as he grumbled in anger.
“Please Amelia can you just forgive me?” He begged but he wasn’t getting away with any of this that easily.
“NO! I’m still pissed and now on top of my original anger, I’m furious because you attacked someone of sparing with me! You had no right to do that. Jamison is hurt further than he is willing to show and it’s all because you can’t control your jealousy and anger!” I huff yelling loud as my anger echos off the steel walls.
I finally decide it’s not worth it to yell anymore so I take a deep breath and look Jaxson straight in his hurt eyes. Slowly he reaches to pull me to him but I step back before he could. “Don’t. touch. me.” I say between gritted teeth.
Stepping outside of the barn I notice no one has moved from the spot we left them all in as they stared at me in shock. Rolling my eyes I storm over to Nicole and grab her hand. “Will you spare with me? I need to let off some frustrations.” I mumble.
“Yeah we can all tell. Everyone heard.” She giggled while she followed me to the circle. Slowly everyone else in the pack started to get back to training when I noticed Jaxson come back out his eyes digging into me. I pay them no attention because I knew I’m sticking to my silent treatment.
Jaxson POV
I stepped back out of the barn to see everyone getting back to their sets. The only person I cared about was Amelia though. She was so hurt and upset with me. Between finding out about savannah and Jamison lusting after her she hasn’t been afraid to speak her mind, or even worse, go completely silent. The one thing I hated more than getting yelled at was the silent treatment. I needed her attention and love, so the longer she took it away the more agitated I got. She’s just like a siren I can’t ignore and oddly enough I wasn’t the only one. Everyone around her was drawn to her like a moth to a flame. She was different and I needed to find out why.
After being lost in my thoughts I felt a hand clap against my back bringing me back. “You are in deep s**t asshole.” Nolan chuckles at me.
“Shut the f**k up.” I grumble now as I watch Amelia and Nicole circle each other.
“You know we heard everything, right?” Mason looked over at me standing on my other side. “Everything. Even the moaning...” he trailed off which just made me shake my head.
In an attempt to stop talking about it I try and change the subject. “Is that stupid mutt ok?” I ask with a little bit of venom in my voice.
“Not gonna lie bud, you got him pretty good but he’ll heal in a day or two.” Nolan laughs which causes me to join him. The situation and the fact that he’s injuries bringing me a little joy.
“She’s got you whipped Jax.” Mason says as they both laugh at my expense. All of us watching Amelia take Nicole down with zero fighting experience. “And I’m worried she’ll be able to whip our asses too.” He comments as Amelia has Nicole pinned down with her face to the ground. All I can do though is smile with pride.
