Alexa's POVHer hands lasted on mine for a bit before she pulled away.“Wow, Alexa.” “What is it?” I asked as she moved away from me quickly. It was as though she was shocked by what she saw.“You two have fate together. Quite frankly, I think he could be your mate.”“My mate?”I couldn't believe that. Although, Alpha Nate's and I meeting seemed to have been powered by fate, it was too high strung for me to consider him my mate.Also, I hadn't felt anything that elaborate when I was with him. Although I perceived him as a nice person because he protected him when I needed him. This was something that I did not plan but it happened anyway.“Yes, Alexa. But follow your heart anyway. Just don't be too forward about it. And this moment, I need you to focus. Especially while we unlock all of your powers and I train you.”“Fine.”“Today, I'll teach you blood magic.”“Blood magic?”She smiled at me and brought out a table knife from her pocket. “What is that for?” I asked, slightly tired fr
Alexa's POVI had thought Jade wouldn't answer to me seeing from the way she spoke very little to me. However, when she stretched her arm forward and peeled over the long-sleeved shirt, I saw bloody marks on her hand.I jumped off my bed to access clearly what she was showing me. They looked bad as well as with purple and blue marks left on her hand. There was no doubt that she was going through abuse with the bloody marks on her hand.“We need to tell the Alpha,” I said calmly.“No, please no.” She said as I made to walk out the door. She grabbed me by the waist, halting my movements.“No, I won't let you leave.” She said.“And why is that?” I asked.“You can't tell the Alpha, Please don't tell the Alpha. It's much more complicated than you think. Please listen to me!”“I don't know what you're talking about. There's nothing easier to understand than the fact that you're hurting and someone close to you is doing that. Could it possibly be your mate?”There was silence for a bit, and
Alexa's POV“You really think so, Alexa?”“Yes,” I nodded. But then I remembered that I hadn't officially told her my name yet so how did she know?”“How do you know my name?” I carefully asked, careful to not distort the main topic we were on.“Angel was talking about you, also I think when we were about to eat in the dinning room, you were introduced to all of us.”“Well, then I see.” I said quietly. But then remembered what the main topic was on. I had to say something really impactful in order to stop jade from self-harming. I also had to do something in order to followup with her, get to know her and stuff.“Do you have a job, Jade? Maybe get to focus on that? Then you won't be affected by the minute things going on with your cheating mate.”“Well I don't have a job yet—”“—That is something you should definitely tell the Alpha about. Alpha Nate is a kind, generous person. If you tell him about your need for a job, he'll help you, like he did with me.”“That's different, you have
Jade's POVAs I stepped out of Alexa's room, I couldn't help but feel much bolder and strong. If my mate and his mistress were trackers then why couldn't I? Afterall, I'd hear him boast about how easy he had it because of constantly training his muscles for flight or fight. Hearing him talk about constantly was the same as having first hand training, wasn't it? I couldn't help but feel rather distraught after hearing Alexa convince me to find another job other than tracking. I knew it was because she was trying to stop me from seeing too much of my mate and his mistress but that was none of my business for now, wasn't it? She told me to follow the interest I had in my heart and that was it. I was not going to let another steal the dream from my heart. Not even if it was me.I bumped into healthy Angel drinking a dose of wine on the hallway.“Hey Jade…”“Where's the Alpha?” I asked head-on and she seemed shocked to see that I was on guard with her. I hoped she wouldn't blame me but rig
Jade's POVI was next taken to a bodybuilder.“Beta Boaz, why are we here?” I asked after seeing that we were at a professional bodybuilder. The bodybuilder was a 6’5 tall tan man that was big with a lot of muscles. I had a feeling he could rip me apart just by his look.“Beta Boaz, fancy meeting you here.” He told the beta without bowing. It seemed they were already used to each other by now.“Hey Claude,” Beta Boaz said carefully. “Train her.”“What do you mean ‘’train her'?” Claude stopped boxing the green bag for a moment.“She wants to be a tracker,”“Oh?” Claude smirked, “She's good as dead.”“Just the basics.” Beta Boaz insisted. “Train her body in such a way that she'll still be alive.”“Ooh! I see.” Claude chuckled heartily making me uncomfortable. I made way to Beta Boaz but as he walked out the door, Claude got a hold of me making me scream out loud. “Beta Boaz! Where are you? Come to save me!”“There would be no such thing happening here!” He told me with his sharp eye fix
Alexa's POVAfter mother left, I was annoyed. I went back to my room in the packhouse and locked the door, deciding to try to see where Jade was without any guidance. I started with easy breathing but with the more I breathed, I realized that I was unable to do anything. I tried some exercises and techniques but neither did anything to trigger my seeing so I gave up, only temporarily and decided to use the physical method and just ask how jade was from others instead of just chickening out and relying on my own seeing eyes, if that really existed and I knew it did. If only I was raised with my mom I would've knew these things but whatever.I stepped outside of my room and the packhouse felt silent. I tried to listen in to any movements but it was quiet. The time was 9am so it was fine. Most people in the packhouse were probably already out and about doing their own jobs.I stepped out of the packhouse, immediately running into Dylan and Hawk. Two warriors that I'd just recently gott
Alexa's POV“No, Jade always had the desire to be a tracker. All I did was—”“—Put her in to be a tracker.” Alpha Nate interupted. “Exactly what I said.”I sighed. Peharps that was true.“Where can I see her?”“I'm afraid you can't. She's too busy.”“How would you know?” I asked with folded arms while looking at him with a smirk.“I was the one who put her through.” The smirk disappeared from my face. “Sent her to Boaz to train her. As it appears, she hasn't been allowed to leave the training room.”“Oh no,” I muttered under my breath. “Will she be fine?” “She's following the process it will take to get her to her dream,” he said. “She'll have to be fine.”“I see,” I said under my breath but I was still nervous for Jade and I wanted confirmation on if she'll be fine but there was none.I turned away to get going to the packhouse but then Alpha Nate said, “You're going back?”I nodded.“Won't you be bored staying alone at the packhouse?”“Otherwise, what would I do? You won't let a pr
Alexa's POV I decided to go with Angel to the dining room and in the hallway, I saw Jade coming from the distance in black gym sweatshirt with a pair of leggings. She looked sweaty and tired, and way more shaped than ever before.“Hey,” she said with a calm voice once she saw me and I enveloped her into a hug.“Jade,” I cried out loud. “Never thought I'd see you again. But I'm glad right now that you are fine.”“T-that is a nice thing,” said Jade. “But why did you think you'd never see me again? That is weird.”I pulled away from the hug and said, “Sorry, it's just because of the way the Alpha worded something to me.”“Really?”I nodded. “Anyway I'm just glad to see you. Are things working out in your sphere?” I asked. “You should get to be a tracker soon, right?”“Barely. I just started the training. I reckon I still have a long way to go.” said Jade. ***Jade's POVWe were all seated in the dinning room and I unfortunately had to watch my mate seated across from me along with his
