CHAPTER FOURTEEN | I WILL TRAIN YOU

ALPHA NATE

The nonsense Blake said about Jake being strong and all lingered in my mind all day and even at night, I couldn't really sleep and I don't know why... Why the fuck am I bothered because he wanted Jake to train him and why am I bothered that he sounded like he was admiring Jake's body.

Shouldn't I be happy that Blake is probably interested in another guy because that will mean that I am free from him. "I can finally reject Blake and act like none of this ever happened." I got out of bed after all, it's morning already and I didn't get to sleep.

"Two nights, two consecutive nights that I didn't get to sleep because of Blake." I am so pissed but mostly because I am constantly thinking about him. "He has invaded my thoughts and it's fucking messed up."

I can't believe I am so bothered about Blake training with Jake. "Why the fuck do I care?" I asked myself as I repeatedly checked the time, so I can know what the time is.

They usually start training around six and I need to make sure that Blake doesn't defile my orders by training with Jake. "If I let him get away with the nonsense he said at my office yesterday, I am positive that he will do it over and over again." And I won't fucking have that.

I swear, this guy is going to drive me crazy. I have been talking to myself too much lately and it's all because of him...as soon as it was a few minutes past six, I started getting dressed.

"I am going to go around the pack and make sure that Blake is not secretly training with Jake." I picked out my black sweatpants and a matching sweatshirt, it's a little cold this morning.

I stepped out and the pack is still very empty and quiet, most people are still sleeping, so instead of walking around looking for Blake, I decided to jog instead, so as to not make it obvious that I was out looking for him.

I started jogging around all the places that I know people usually train and I saw a few people training along the way but none of them are Blake... I decided to jog to the training ground and that was when I saw the two of them training.

Jake was showing him how to do sit up and Blake was staring at him as all Jake's muscle flexed. "Shit, what's going on with me?" Why am I upset just by seeing them together.

I decided to jog to their view, so that they can notice me. "Good morning Alpha Nate." Jake stopped exercising and greeted immediately he saw me.

"What's going on here?" I asked curiously even though I know what's happening.

"Oh nothing, I am just training Blake like you instructed." Did he say like I instructed?

I turned towards Blake and I saw him trying to hide his face... So he lied to Jake using my name.

"Yeah about that, don't bother any more. Richard, his uncle will handle it. You can go and do other things." I instructed and I can see from my peripheral vision that Blake is not happy with my decision but I don't give a fuck, he flaunted my orders and he still lied about it.

"Okay Alpha, thanks." Jake left the training ground and with his reaction, I can tell that he didn't want to train Blake, he only just did it because he thought I gave the instructions.

I can't believe that Blake had it in him to actually flaunt my orders and even lie, it was like he wanted to prove a point. I like that he is confident enough to do that but I can't let him know, I don't want people that can't follow instructions in my pack.

"You have some balls, how dare you defile my orders and still lie to my beta with my name?" I asked after making sure that Jake can't hear me.

This is why Jake can never be as good as Raphael, the only person Raphael listens to is me and he knows that I can never send anyone to him but Jake is gullible enough to think that even if I wanted him to train Blake, I would send someone to tell him that.

"So you asked him to stop training me just to prove that you are more superior and you have the final say?" He asked looking upset when I am the one that should be upset.

"No I stopped him from training you because you defiled my orders and you lied, I can't tolerate that." I said sternly.

"Okay then, I will find someone else to train me."

"If you do that, you will see my wrath and I assure you that it's not something you want to see." I moved closer to him. "I became an Alpha at sixteen for a reason, it's because I can be very ruthless and trust me you do not want to see that side of me." I have been very lenient with him but he is pushing his luck.

"I am sorry, I am not trying to annoy you, I just wanted to train." He explained and I believe that he really wants to learn but he can't just walk around and take things by force, things are always not that easy.

I thought about it for a while, physically he looks weak and fragile and he needs to train and the good part is that he is willing to learn, which is the first step. It won't be fair for me to stop him from learning but I don't want anyone to train him apart from his uncle... I turned around and I left him standing there as I made my way to the entrance of the training ground but before I stepped out I stopped. "Come to my place." I don't know why I said that but it's too late to take it back. "Tomorrow morning, six o'clock... I will train you, don't be late." I jogged out of the training ground and I know for a fact that I will regret what I just agreed to but I will be more at peace if I train him myself because the thought of someone else training him is very upsetting and I don't know why.

I jogged back to my flat and I made a beeline to the bathroom to shower and by the time I stepped out, I feel so refreshed and I am in a better mood than how I woke up a few hours ago.

I decided to take a nap before going to the office but it was interrupted by a transmission from Jake... It's so difficult to rest around here.

"Jake, is there a problem?"

"Not really Alpha, I am at your office with Alpha Damian from hallow road pack, he is here to see you and he said it's urgent."

"Okay, wait with him in my office. I will join you guys soon."

Fuck, there goes my nap. I am pretty sure that he is here to ask for a favor because he has never visited my pack before.

I dressed up quickly and then I stepped out and hurried to the office... The last thing I want right now is to attend to anyone, I just want to have some me time but I guess that's a dream.

"Sorry I kept you waiting Damian, I wasn't expecting you." Damian is young as well and he took over his father's position earlier just like I did but in his case, he lost his dad.

He is one of the few alpha's I can actually relate with, most of them are very old and we have nothing in common but Damian is a friend.

"Yeah, sorry I badged in. I need a favor."

"Okay, what is it?"

"Can you recommend someone from your pack that can help train my guys, my guys are terrible at fighting and even self defense and I am worried about the werewolf hunters, they have been attacking packs lately and I need my pack members to be ready just in case we are attacked." He explained and his concerns are very valid, I always try to make sure that my pack members are ready and alert at all times too just to be safe.

"You are right, it's better to be safe than sorry but don't you have a zeta?" I asked curiously because that's the work of a zeta right.

"Not anymore, my zeta recently found his mate and he moved to her pack. I have a few options but they are just not good enough, so if you have someone that can train them, I will appreciate it." This whole mate situation can be very tricky.

"Alright, I will send someone over to help you. My zeta is busy at the moment but I am sure he knows someone capable for the job." I always like to help people whenever I am in the position to.

"Thanks so much Nate, you are a lifesaver. I have to go now but I will be expecting to hear from you and don't worry, I owe you one."

"It's fine, what are friends for." I said just as Jake and I escorted him out.
