~Jaden~ If she doesn’t look up in the next minute then I’ll have her dragged back to the pack house. If I can’t look her in the eyes then no one would. “Alpha Jaden?” I wasn’t interested in who had the voice as it was serving as a distraction, asking for my attention when all I wanted was to get Lily to face me and look me straight in the eye. It took me a few seconds to explain self control again to myself. I did all I could to keep my wolf relaxed, then turned to look at who spoke. I didn’t feel the need to say any words and just faced her, waiting for what she had to say. “Is there any news from our parents?” She muttered those words as if she just got reminded about them, with her eyes looking a bit gloomy. Cam definitely brought her mind to this, since he almost spilled the reason why we were here in the first place. There was news and it wasn’t a good one. First, I wouldn’t have any information slip out because of this breakaway here and
~Lily~ Another week had gone so quickly, never like ever before as there were days passing with each of his dramas and other days it’s fun. I stood still with Molly at my side and Nova coming closer, to assume his position as my partner. Immediately after that awkward moment with Jaden sitting in front of me and making me a whole lot uncomfortable. I could just tell and guess through his actions that this was probably another ploy before he starts up with another round of bullying. I didn’t know what he planned but for him to sit down with us even when the person he claimed to hate the most sat there, I knew it just had to be something I didn’t want any part in. I didn’t want to recognize his presence, didn’t want anything that had to do with him being involved. Even his remarks didn’t catch me by surprise. I expected nothing less and if he thinks he’s going to get me to act like an angry bird then he’s thought wrong. I was with the thoughts that I brought m
~Lily~ It was time to team up, with Cam walking in on us. He announced that we could pick out a partner but the opposite team we’ll be fighting with would be called out. That explains the list and it wasn’t much of a worry to me than what Nova would think. Cam simply walked out with Molly, waiting for the opposite pairing. I never really asked but they both had to be friends and knew each other before now since they acted that way and were obviously in the same status and circle. But wait, I'm also in the same circle, right? I really didn’t have time to pay attention to the disturbing thoughts about if Molly was friends with me because of my fake status as a Stone. I brushed it off with thoughts that she wouldn’t definitely mind and the remembrance that she only first approached me because she thought I had an a**hole for a brother. With Nova stuck to my side, noticing my switch up moods and definitely mistaking it for fear or tension. We stood there, hoping our pair
~Lily ~ “You’ve got to be kidding me?” I muttered letting the annoyance be heard clearly in my voice as he turned to check what got me switched up real fast. He didn’t move or flinch after turning to see who was behind him, definitely because these two weren’t the best duo I’ll want to fight against. “Good morning Jaden.” She said it ever so sweetly like she couldn’t hurt a fly. Ignoring me and looking only at Jaden who replied the same way I imagined he did to everyone else besides me. “Please be gentle on me Alpha, your skills are literally no match for me.” She literally had her hand in her hair acting so weirdly, I think what they see as cute. Just really shouldn’t have been this pair. I could tolerate Tyler since he was still known as family and his calm and quiet nature wouldn’t distract me from learning. But her? The h*ll she even sounds so different from how she sounded the last time she came with absurd warnings. “I won’t fight against yo
~Lily~ I hadn't felt so much joy than I had in so long after winning against Brittany. It gave me an edge and an extra feeling that I was better. Also the fact that I proved to him that I was more than he could ever think. He didn’t say anything after I won and left quietly to stand beside Kade who was watching and staring at me, looking like he was smiling. It wasn’t so noticeable and I’m sure whatever it was disappeared from his face after Jaden got closer to him. I let myself pride in my victory and stretched forth my hands to help her up. “Here, take my hand.” I offered her a hand. “I don’t need your help, I will get myself up.” She didn’t look okay as the frown still sat on her face. I waited until she got up and stood in front of me. “Was a fun fight, hoping we can do this again?” I muttered quite happily she was a bit of a challenge than she originally showcased. And the fact that it definitely wasn’t her first time made it so much exciting for me as
~Jaden~ “What do you mean we haven’t gotten a report from them yet?” I couldn’t yell it out and muttered those words the best I could as I stood right there with Kade in my fathers office. It was going to be mine very soon and I know I wasn’t alpha yet but it was our best shot at being secretive. “The report on training our mental focus was the last report I got and till nothing else.” He sounded as serious as he looked, staring back at me, trying his best to remain hopeful. I didn’t know what their plans were but I knew for sure that it was a lot of mess there and it was never looking so good there. I lied to all of them, I didn’t get personal reports on how each alpha’s were doing as apparently Molly’s both parents were there. I know it was quite hard to leave a mate behind but taking a mate along to a field of possible no return? That was something I’ll want to believe should be questioned but who am I kidding? It’s their decision and it shouldn’t matter to m
~Lily~ It’s been days and he still hasn’t showed up. Not like I was in any way concerned or bothered, in fact I was thrilled, a lot more relieved he wasn’t here. Even though I admit that I learnt faster with him doesn’t mean I enjoy seeing him. We got to have Kade lead us through the training, with the mental training partially pushed to the side. Something was up and I knew it. I just chose not to see it, since it didn’t in any way concern me. I was only here for the training it could get me so I could arm and prepare myself for when I leave. It was becoming so hard to really turn a blind eye to it as the training that was taking a good shape before, then all of a sudden looked like it sank. First slowly and now it was so visible, we couldn’t be like this if they were preparing for something very serious. I mean I think whoever wants to go to war should be well prepared, right? It was looking so much like a lot of effort wasn’t needed again and he didn’t c
~Lily~ “Hey mom! You made anything special today?” I asked playing it cool. Had to wait till the next day as it would be outright weird if I go ask her some underlying questions. She might catch right on since I never really stuck around more than when I came to take my food. And it wasn’t like I didn’t feel bad or anything about it. It was just that it felt strange and keeping my distance while maintaining our so-called fake status was the best I could do. “Are you trying to say that all I’ve been preparing wasn't special?” She uttered in shock like she was hurt, having her mouth wide agape, with her hand on her chest, acting like it was a direct blow to her heart. If I didn’t know any better I would have fallen for it but I laughed it off. “Come on mom, you know what I mean.” I stood behind her with my hands hugging her tightly from the back. I wouldn’t lie that there were many times I wished she was truly my mom. She was the best and I always felt guilty for
