I was tense the entire time the next day. I did all my normal routines but at the back of my mind I couldn't forget that I would be seeing Jonathan later. It was all I could think about, getting distracted while doing normal stuff. I honestly couldn't wait.I struggled with what to wear later that evening. I was about to dress up earlier for the gym when I realised that I didn't want to wear what I normally did. A track suit plus a vest inside. I contemplated for a long time because! I didn't want him to think I was dressing for him when I was actually dressing up for myself...not.I finally went with my normal gym wear, nervous and anxious the whole time. I wasn't going to let any of it show though, the fact that I wasn't that kind of girl contributed to it. But also the fact that he would eat it up if he knew I had a silly crush on him.I finally walked into the gym with my decision made. I was going to ignore him for as long as I could, I wouldn't let him think that he was gettin
I was quite disappointed with the way Commander Jonathan was handling training me. He was very strict with me from the moment I stepped foot into the gym every evening, there was none of the flirting or gleaming in his eyes he usually had for me. I didn't know whether I liked that or not, but it was definitely what I needed. I needed his help to get better as he helped me, but why was I not happy about it?I didn't complain when he gave me a particularly hard task or when he became harsh because I failed at something. He was thorough and intense, expecting a hundred percent every single time from me.Outside of the gym was different, he always escorted me back to the gym every night after our sessions. He also changed, He went from very intense and commanding to soft and funny. I didn't understand the transition but I saw the use for it, it was all for my sake.I soon got used to him, and the way we were together both inside and outside of the gym.I also softened towards him, no lo
I saw him the day after. I was on my way to the gym when he joined me. He also had on his gym clothes and had a bag slung over his shoulder. I ignored him the entire time, any sudden word or movement from him and I was sure! was going to hit him.I was about to enter the gym when he grabbed my arm and pulled me aside. I tried pulling my arm over and over but he ignored me and walked for a while. We went to the next building where he brought a VIP card and swiped at the door before it opened, then he led me inside.He let go of my hand after the door and closed, then led me past several of the doors.It was evening so I wasn't sure but there were name tags of Commanders written in bold letters on each door as we passed. We got to the fourth where his name was written then he swiped again with a key card and let us in. He switched on the light and I saw that we were in a gym."This building belongs to the Commanders. The gyms are on the ground floor, offices in the first. Get comforta
The world became an exciting place and for the first time I was actually looking forward to something. I was in a good place and I liked where I was, nothing fazed me and I didn't care about the little things that worried me before. I was way beyond all that now. And it was all because was experiencing my first love, yes. Love.Although I was verry happy was still very sceptical. Everyday I spent with him was a gift, and I tried to savor as much of it as I could. I knew I could wake up one day and realized that I was in hell and all the things that had happened to me was a far away dream. So I would savor everyday as it came, everyday.We had fully resumed classes and things were even more intense. Classes were harsh and trainings were harsher. They were taking everything out of us and then some. This season seemed to be the most taxing we were ever going to experience. My brain had to work extra hard to be able to keep up with the very intense classes and training we were doing th
I tried hearing more of what was being said but to no avail, after a while of standing there I silently went back to the office. I wondered if he would tell me if I asked him what had been said.I immediately cancelled that out, I didn't want him to know I had been eavesdropping and I was not sure I wanted to know what was happening. I spent the rest of the time I waited for him on my phone, trying to distract myself with the series I had been watching, it worked at some point and I was watching so many of it I didn't realise that time had goneIt was a long ass time and he still hadn't shown up. It was past time I should be done with my exercise for the day so I wrote him a note saying I had gone. The entire way home I contemplated what was going on. I didn't like the feeling.The next morning I woke up and did my routine like I usually did then walked to our lecture hall. We were supposed to have some kind of mental strength test. I was on my way when I saw all the students from
I turned around and my gaze met with Teresa's."Please..." She whispered.Her eyes were filled with tears and she had never looked as horrible as she did. I knew I looked confused. What did she want?"Queen Cassie. Mate of King Hades. I know who you are. Save my Father and brother.. please" she added.I wondered how wide my eyes looked as stared at her, shocked. For the first time in a long time, my wolf rose from within me, acknowledging her name as mate to Hades. I was doomed.My feet were up and walking towards the field before I knew what was happening. Part of me knew that I was doing the right thing, while the other half had zero control, my wolf was doing all the work.I looked for Jonathan and saw his eyes wide with fear, and his head continued shaking as he watched me. He wanted me to stop, what he didn't know was that didn't have control of what I was doing.The commanders all looked shocked as I walked to where the other students that had volunteered had stopped. I stood b
"We should go ma'am" said the driver.I had been sitting alone for a long time, just watching the calming water and the nice breeze on my face. My thoughts had been scattered and I had thought of everything and nothing.I looked around and suddenly realised that the time had gotten away from me. The sun was setting and had been sitting here for a few hours. The King was also knowhere to be found."Where is....?" I asked, standing up and looking around"He left immediately and brought you here. You have a flight leaving in a few hours time so we should go" he explained.I stood up and went after him back to where the car was packed. The man was wearing a suit with black glasses, he gave me international security vibes.We reached the car and I realised that the colour of this car was different from the one that had brought us, but I asked no questions. I got in and we were soon driving away.I looked back at the cliff, I was definitely coming back here again. It was..nice. No wonder i
I walked into the building and looked around. The guys were all seated around in the living room, bags and luggages abandoned on the floor. I walked in after them and got settled as well.An old looking woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere, she was dressed in a uniform of sorts and she bowed when she had all our attention."Welcome to the house. I would be your host for your stay here. Please follow me as I take you to your rooms" she said.She turned and walked away and slowly we all got up and followed her. The interior of the house had a nice decor, with a small open enclosement in the middle of the building that had a pond with a few fishes inside. We went past and she showed the guys their rooms and I and the girls ours right next door.The wooden door slides open as I opened and I stopped into the empty room after taking off my shoes, I walked in and looked around. There was a cupboard filled with mattresses and linen sheets which I knew we were meant to sleep in. Apart from
