Alex's pov
"Alex are you ready to train the delightful teenagers?" Noah rolls his eyes from across the table as he finishes up his breakfast. Noah and I have been covering some of Levi and logan's classes while they attend Alpha training and the teenagers have quickly become the hardest class, they are either too busy on their phones or checking each other out.
"Yeah, I'm ready!" I'd rather stay here and do the dishes but this shit must be done.
"Alex I was wondering if you'd be able to train the advanced group later with Noah and Theo? Logan and Levi won't be back until next week as Elder stone wants to do some additional training with them while he's there and Beta Kyle and myself have meetings all day." he doesn't look too amused at being stuck in meetings and honestly, I don't envy the guy.
"Yes no problem Alpha." before he can shout at me for calling him Alpha, Noah and I make a quick exit and head for the training grounds, Levi and Logan have been away for a week and I'd be lying if I said I can't wait to see their faces, it's too quiet when they are away.
"Shaun, stop checking out Amy's ass and do some training will you!" Noah bellows out causing a chuckle to leave my mouth.
"I will when Elsa stops checking out your ass." Shaun chuckles winking at Noah.
"not going to happen!" Elsa pants out while she's holding Tara in a headlock. This girl never seems to get embarrassed about anything, always owns her shit.
Before Noah can say anymore a low growl rumbles across the training fields and my head shoots up to see what's going on to find Josh making his way over and I'm guessing he heard the comment.
"Elsa fuck off and stop checking out my mate's ass!"
"ahh, are we worried about a little competition brother?"
"I honestly feel for whoever ends up with you as a mate Lil sis, you are a major pain in the ass!"
"you still love me though so it's ok." she gives him a wink and any anger he felt quickly disappears, Elsa is only 1 year younger than him and they are incredibly close, her and Mia too.
"come here handsome." Noah holds out his hand to Josh and quickly pulls him onto his chest, I always thought Josh was of average height but he looks small next to Noah, he just about reaches his chest and Mia is even shorter. Josh instantly relaxes into Noah's hold before pulling back and smirking at Elsa.
The class passes by surprisedly quick and soon enough it's time for the advanced class to start making their way over here and the moment Nate starts purring in my head I know Emma is here, fuck Nate wants Emma's wolf Zoe just as much as I want her.
I look around the grounds and instantly spot her, she's in tight-fitting shorts and a tank top and the image goes straight to my cock, she sends me her usual beautiful smile but I have to look away before I'm pitching a tent in my shorts in front of every fucker, Fuck it's been so long since any woman has had this effect on me and I'm struggling to hold it together.
Emma's pov
Advanced warrior training has been amazing as always. I've only been back training for 1 week as after the attack I was too embarrassed to show my face here but not anymore. Now I'm glad for it, It takes my mind of everything plus seeing Alex train is one fucking delicious site.
While in training I make sure to stay away from the men. It's nothing personal to them but after Jay, I hate the idea of another man touching me ever again... except for Alex when it comes to him I couldn't think of anything better, I trust him. He's looked out for me since the moment we met, he's never done anything to try and hurt me or anyone else and knowing what he did for Theo and the Smiths before they came here only adds to how incredible he really is.
In all honestly, I know I should stay away from Alex but I don't think I can, he deserves better than me. I feel so broken right now that I'm not sure if I can give him what he needs and deserves plus I'm not even sure if he likes me in that way either, my head is so fucked up that I can't figure out if he's just being a great friend, wants more or both. fuck!
"Emma, have you got a moment?" just as I'm about to leave the training grounds and head for a shower I hear the voice that I hate the most right now, fucking Stacey! she never wants to talk to me unless it's to cause trouble and I really can't be fucked to deal with her shit today but none the less I face her with the best smile I can muster while Zoe starts snarling in my head.
"Hi, Stacey, what's up?" be nice Emma be nice. She walks up to me so close that I can feel her breath on my face.
"I saw you checking out my man during training and I don't fucking like it, keep your fucking eyes and hands off of my man or I'll rip your fucking throat out!" what the fuck is this girl on about?
"I don't know what you're talking about Stacey."
"Alex, my man Alex, you were fucking drawling all over him like a pathetic dog and I won't stand for it!" before I can control myself I burst out laughing.
"oh your hilarious Stacey, you really are, there's desperate then there's you. Now do me a favour and get out of my face, oh and Stacey threaten me again and I will tear you a new asshole!"
I walk away still laughing when I'm suddenly yanked back by my hair and pulled to the ground before a foot meets my face and I start seeing fucking stars.
I quickly jump up to find Stacey throwing a punch my way. I grab hold of her hand and twist it fast, breaking her wrist and possibly her arm, she screams out but still tries to throw a slap my way. fuck this bitch doesn't know when to quit, at this point, there is a swarm of wolves surrounding us cheering us on like we are dancing.
She manages to land a good slap on my face splitting my lip before I throw one single punch at her and knock her the fuck out, as she hits the ground hard Noah and Alex reach us, they look at me then at Stacey and it's clear to see they are trying to hold back smirks and possibly laughs.
"right everyone leave now except for Sam and Jenson!" Noah bellows out and the grounds are soon empty. Noah links our dad and the doc to come over before turning his attention to the guys and they quickly tell him what happened before he looks at me and bursts out laughing.
"That's my girl!" Alex winks at me and there go my knees and I'm pretty sure he noticed as he sends me a massive grin.
"What was said before she pulled your hair?" as always Alex is vigilant. I quickly tell him what she said and he soon looks like he's ready to throw up.
"Bullshit!" he spits out looking down at a knocked out Stacey in disgust.
"What's bullshit?" my dad's voice quickly pulls me out of my thoughts as he appears alongside Noah.
"What in the goddess has happened here?" he bellows out and thankfully Noah saves me from having to explain any more as he fills my dad in on everything whilst the doc checks Stacey. She starts to wake up and immediately locks eyes with me with an evil grin spread wide across her face.
"How dare you touch me, I am the Gamma's daughter and your just a fat ugly Omega!" Hearing her call me fat brings my mind straight back to Jay but I muster all my strength to mask it, I won't let her see it. Growls sound out and I look over to see that they came from Noah and Alex and the look Alex is giving Stacey is chilling.
"Alex baby, this stupid mutt hurt me!" She pouts his way adding her puppy dog eyes but he just blanks her.
"Emma come with me, let's go and clean your lip up!" he holds his hand out to me and I quickly grab it and let him pull me towards the packhouse.
"Alex, what about me?" bitch face screams our way causing Alex to stop in his tracks and turn to face her, never leaving go of my hand.
"What about you Stacey?" he says it so straight-laced that I have to bite my lip to stop myself from laughing and fuck it hurts. Alex turns back around and continues to lead me to the packhouse as my dad and Noah deal with the situation and a very pissed off Stacey while I'm just relieved to be away from her and her fucking stuck up face.
Alex's pov I'm fucking livid. It was enough that Stacey was talking shit to Emma about me but to attack her, to call her fat? I don't agree with hurting women but Fuck It took everything I had to hold me and Nate back. I pull Emma along to my room and straight into the bathroom, she hasn't said a word since it happened but I have a feeling that it's affected her. I grip her hips and hoist her up onto the sink unit before I hock a finger under her chin and lift her head up so I can take a better look at her lip. "It doesn't need stitches, I'll clean it up and it should be healed in a few hours." She nods her head and a single tear slides down her cheek, I wipe it away with my thumb but soon more are pouring out of her eyes and it's killing me.
Emma's pov I quickly make my way through the packhouse, I don't want to run and bring attention to myself and I don't want to talk to anyone right now because if I do I don't think I'll be able to keep it inside anymore and I don't want anyone to know how stupid I've been, it hurts to even think about it. How the fuck could I get this so wrong? I was convinced Alex liked me, really liked me but I guess it was all in my head, fuck I'm stupid. Thankfully I manage to make it through the house without bumping into anyone which is a goddam miracle in its self as this place is never empty. Maybe the moon goddess is finally giving me a little break. I quickly head for the back of the packhouse and into the forest, soon arriving at my favourite place in the parklands. I just need some time alone right now and this is the best place for me to
Emma's pov This is my favourite place to go in the parklands, It's my own little paradise, somewhere I come often and very few know about it. I'm not sure how long I've been here but I've cried every last tear possible and I don't feel much better. My heart is breaking and I feel like a goddam fool, why would Alex want me? I'm broken and as much as Stacey is a bitch she is also incredibly pretty and much younger than me. "EMMA WHERE ARE YOU?" my dad's voice suddenly slams through my head, he's all Alpha and the hairs on the back of my neck instantly stand to attention "I'm at my garden dad, what's wrong?" the moment I stop linking my dad I pick up the scent of another wolf close by, the scents familiar and it doesn't take me long to realise whose scent it is but how is that possible? he's dead. I pray I'm imagining it but the scents only getting stronger as I can hear my dad's faint voice in my head but I don't register a word he is saying. M
Alex's pov It's only 9 am but I'm so ready for bed. I couldn't sleep even before Emma turned up in my room last night but after she left I had more chance of growing wings than getting any rest and now I'm paying for it. I still don't understand what the fuck happened last night, one minute we were getting ready to talk everything over and I was going to tell Emma how I feel then the next minute I'm left in the hallway watching the woman I love walk away while I'm left standing there holding panties, where the fuck did they even come from? "you look like shit!" "We can't all wake up looking as handsome as you now can we!" Noah's laughter fills the kitchen as he slaps me on the back before taking the seat next to me. "what's up brother? I take it you haven't sorted things with my sister yet?" if only. "no I haven't, she turned up at my room at 2 am this morning and agreed to talk but it didn't end well!" I roughly rub my eyes attempting t
Alex's pov The moment I hear Levi and Logan I feel a huge relief I've missed those guys and the fact that they have my back even though they don't know what's going on means so much to me and I'll make sure they know it. Stacey is instantly angry and I have to bite back the laugh that tries to spill out at the look on her face. "FINE! I set Alex up ok, I set you both up. The day I told you that my jacket and panties were in his room, I set it all up. While Alex was in the shower I snuck into his room, hid my panties under his bed as a gift for him and got naked. Of course, he continued to fight his feelings so when he made me leave I thought I would help him out and get you away from him by letting you know about the panties and I left my jacket there on purpose too, although I didn't plan on him bringing my jacket straight out to me so you can imagine my happiness when he did and it made the plan look all the more real!" "you fucking bitch!" Savannah s
Emma's pov I can't believe Alex told me he loves me, he's actually in love with me and hell if I don't feel like the luckiest she-wolf alive right now. I love him too but I didn't tell him, as much as I believe that he does in fact love me I'm still too scared to tell him how I feel, I will but just not yet. I don't want to mess this up, I don't want Alex to be a brief relationship, I want him for the long haul, chosen mate, marriage, children, everything. Before we had a chance to talk anymore my dad linked me to go and talk to him about what happened yesterday in the forest and Alex insisted he come with me, all this talk with Alex had made me forget about Jay but now everything that happened yesterday is flooding straight back to me and I fucking hate the feeling that it's given me. "you ok sweetheart?" I look up to catch Alex looking down at me with nothing but concern on his face and I realise we are outside my dad's office and I've been in a trance the
Emma's pov "I'm not bothered about doing anything em, after what Callum did, it doesn't feel right!" "your birthday has fuck all to do with Callum or what he did and I'm not going to say it again. Your 18 tomorrow Emily it's a huge birthday, you may even find your mate and we're not letting it pass by without celebrating, end of discussion!" I arranged for Emily and me to be paired during training this morning so I could talk her into celebrating her 18th birthday tomorrow, it was a favour to Savannah because Emily won't listen to her but I agree with Savannah and I mean every word I say to Emily, she's not Callum and I'm not going to stand by while she ruins her big day over someone who's not even here anymore. "are you two training or talking?" Levi's voice breaks through our chat but I don't miss the amused look on his face. "we're talking!" Emily bites back a giggle that Levi doesn't miss. "more training less talk
Alex's pov 3 more hours until my date with Emma, 3 more hours. On one hand, it doesn't seem that far away but on the other, it feels like days but either way I can't wait! I'm honestly so excited for tonight that I feel like a kid on Christmas eve. I've spent most of this afternoon double checking all of my plans and making sure every last detail is perfect for tonight because nothing can go wrong. I'm pretty confident that it won't be still I can't shake these nervous butterflies from swarming my stomach. "Alex, can you come to my office please son?" Jake's voice echoes through my head as I'm heading inside the packhouse, I let him know I'll be right up but I'm so distracted by all the thoughts invading my head today that I don't pay attention to where I'm going and walk straight bang into Noah, shit! "If you wanted a hug you only had to say brother!" Noah's cheeky comment and smile very quickly pulls me back to reality as I greet him with my mid
