Chapter 2

Why are relationships so damn complicated sometimes? I wish things with me and Jake were just straight forward but Jake loves making my life so difficult. I was planning on calling Sophie Stephanie so we could go to the gym, I needed to release my stress.

I went into my former bedroom and grabbed my phone. I quickly dialed Sophie's number, it didn't take long for her to pick up.

"Hey girl!" she shouted making me hold the phone a bit further from my ear. 

I giggled, "Hi Sophie, how you doin'!"

"Oh you know me I am always good as long as I have a romantic book with me my day will be perfect!" She said. Sophie Stephanie loved reading more than me and I used to consider myself the best reader.

I smiled, "You better put that book aside and join me in the gym."

"Oh, awesome! I was actually thinking about taking a walk or something. I will meet you there in ten minutes." 

"Great I will just get ready now," I said smiling and glad that she didn't have anything better to do or else I would have been working out all by myself.

I took a quick warm shower and dived into my work out navy blue skin tights and a matching Nike sports bra. I wore my black trainers, pulled my long black hair up into a ponytail.

I was literally about to run out the door when I bumped into something hard and fell on my ass. I looked up slowly and frowned."Ouch! What in the world are you doing standing by the door Jake!"I said furiously.

He folded his arms but didn't even move an inch."Where are you running off to?"

"To the gym duh, am I not allowed to go where I want now?"I asked in a bored tone. I was so annoyed with him right now.

" Not when you are acting up like this...why are you being so extreme today?" he asked as I stood up from the floor.

I walked towards him and tried to push him away so I could get through but unfortunately, my effort was a failure the man was like a brick wall. I glared at him "Get out of my way before I make you!"

He laughed humorlessly "I would love to see you try .mate."

I smirked and breathed in deep. I didn't use my gift as frequently as my new mentor advised me to. I really didn't want to risk burning down the whole pack house but right now I was taking a chance. I felt the heat course through my whole entire body until I concentrated it all to my hands. I grabbed his arms and heard his skin burn. I watched him as he flinched and tried to get out of my hold but before he could struggle any further I threw his body to the opposite side of the room using my werewolf strength.

I smiled as I heard the crushing sound of his body."Don't even try to follow me to the gym, I won this fight fair and square. Jake I am stronger than you think, don't ever try to treat me any less than I actually am."I said the last words with confidence as I walked out closing the door behind me.

I arrived in the gym a few minutes late and found Sophie Stephanie doing push-ups. I smiled and walked towards her."I promise you it is not my fault I am this late."

She looked up at me but continued doing her push-ups "91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100!" She counted then stood up, "That is how late you are...Jake wouldn't let you leave his bed?" she asked winking her left eye.

I laughed sarcastically "If only that was the case, he wouldn't let me leave the house just because...long story cut short . Jake is keeping a few things from me and I am not happy about us having secrets between us after everything we went through."

Sophie wiped off some sweat from her face with a towel and sighed as if she already knew what I was talking about."That is Jake for you, he thinks he can handle everything by himself. He doesn't know how to accept help, comfort or love. It might take time for him to accept the fact he has another half now, a mate" 

"Sounds like it's gonna take some really hard work and time," I whined warming up and doing a few stretches.

Sophie laughed, "I know but look at the bright side, you not tryna run away from your mate every five seconds like our sweetheart Cathy!"

I picked up some weights, "Oh my gosh are you serious! I still can't believe he wouldn't let her say goodbye to us though, men are savages" I said annoyed.

She rolled her eyes "I know right! I heard he literally threw her in his private jet and they flew North to his home. What a jerk, a hot jerk." She said with a smirk.

I totally agreed with her on that, "Oh yeah...most definitely. I will have to call her just to check up on her."

"Yes...anyways are you ready to get that cherry popped!" She squealed doing some squats and I joined her.

I blushed "Sophie! are we seriously having that conversation right now..."

She widened her eyes in shock and I scrunched up my eyebrows, why is she so shocked? She looked at me standing up straight "Girl you do know the full moon is tomorrow right? Don't tell me you didn't know..."

I felt like I was going to pass out, how did I even get the dates wrong or maybe I was just so caught up in everything that was happening I lost count. I sat on the floor and held my head in frustration "I am so fucked! Oh, why is everything getting so freaking hard for me."

Sophie sat beside me, "I know honey, I am so sorry. Hey look at the bright side you are going to have the best night of your life. Sex on a full moon is the next best thing in this world!"

I laughed and playfully slapped her arm, Sophie loved embarrassing me a lot."I don't know Sophie, I feel like it's too soon but I guess I will just have to enjoy the moment with my asshole mate."
