Jordan POV. After the run, I expected to be done for the day, but that wasn't alpha Balde's plan, after kicking his ass in running, it's time to shower? Breakfast maybe? But nope, nothing, it was all different around here, we got some food, it's more of a granola bar and water, that's about it, I sat next to Micah, people don't question us sitting together, I guess most think the young alpha is just keeping an eye on me, while I'm the one keeping an eye on him. We ate out makeshift breakfast, Joshua was being teased by the rest, turn out the hell army does talk, they were teasing him about losing, about how we are much faster than him, his answer was to growl at them and finish his food, things are going to get worse before they got better, god helps me survive this training, I'm going to go back home ripped. After the food, we all moved outside, back to the cold outside, why can't we stay inside? Isn't running enough? We've run enough for the day, can't we exercise inside the house

Jordan POV. Another turn with the drills, I was ready to go back on, I want to stay on good terms with the alpha, I don't want to fight with him, I needed to be able to take Micah back home with me, when I saw Joshua touching him, I had to pull myself, hold myself and not jump and bite his head off, I was ready to kill him. I saw my mate suffer, going up and down the cold ground, I could see his lips going blue, his nose going red, he's freezing, all I wanted to do was hold him and make sure he's warm now. I had to be settle, standing behind him, I didn't care about my injuries, or how much the cold was making them ache. We held hands while we did the tire obstacle, making sure he was fine, his hands were freezing cold, I wanted to hold them both, kiss them until he feels warm again. I would never allow my little one to go out without a proper jacket, but here he is, standing naked in the cold, having to run some more drills. But then we had to pull apart, each going on our balance

Micah POV. I shouldn't have yelled at my mate, he wants to keep me safe, but then my insecurities got in the middle, I yelled at him, I pushed him away, and now I'm paying the price, it's not my knee that hurt now, it's my heart that's aching, it's my wolf who's screaming for my mate to come back, to come and hold me, we're sorry for pushing him away. I wanted to go and follow him, but I couldn't do that, I couldn't get up on my injured foot, I can't get up, I should shift to heal myself some more, but doing that would mean I'd fall asleep, I didn't feel safe enough to sleep yet. I looked at the pain killers he got me, how did he find those, we don't have any around here, it's not my first injury around here, I've had my shoulder popping out of it's place before, but never have I received a pain killer before, it was calling to me, but I can't take a pill without him being here to protect me, I don't want to feel weak. I was just looking up at the ceiling, counting down some random

Jordan POV. If I have the chance again, I'd kill Joshua, I'd kill him for hurting Micah, even if he's mine, I waited for my mate, but I don't blame Micah for trying to find love somewhere, anywhere, even if that place happened to be with Joshua, the good thing is he never got him, he never won my baby, but he broke his trust, he had hurt him, and he'd pay for it. After he left the room, I locked our door, he can't come in and out without anyone's permission, Micah wasn't taking it well, he was worried I'd be mad at him for what happened, but I can't blame him, I wouldn't, not after seeing the life he's living here.Everything that passed had passed, the future is with me now, he's mine, and that's all I care about, what's about to happen, the future we will hold together. Micah tried to skip out of the room to get us some food, but I didn't allow him to, I was the one who went and got us food, I made us some cold meat sandwiches. "You promise?" Micah whines again, I haven't been as

Jordan POV. "Leave everything behind, let's go," I tell Micah, it's time to leave this damn pack behind, time to leave the pain, and trust issues behind, he can trust me, I'm his mate, and I'm the one who'd never hurt him. "Jordan..." Micah stops me, is he having second thoughts? It's not the best timing for this, the alpha and everyone else is busy with their training, and they won't notice us taking off, leaving this god damned place. "Yeah?" I answer him, finger crossed he won't ask to stay."Dad...he's going to claim war on us, he's going to hunt us," Micah says but I didn't care about that, I'm not some weak puppy, I'm a wolf, a strong dominant who got to keep his mate safe, and I'm not going to give out on him. "Let him start a war, I'll burn the whole world just to see your smile," I promise him, I meant every word I said, I don't care. "Are you sure?" Micah asks me, sounding unsure, sounding afraid, I pulled him toward my chest, hugging him tightly, breathing in his scent
