“Wait for me!” I heard Evet shout as he came running up to us with her hair flying around behind her.
She was wearing long workout leggings and a bra, like everyone else, and I glared at Koda who just crossed his arms and turned his back on me again.
“Sorry I’m late” Evet smiled and threw her bag on the ground “Did I miss anything?”
“No, we’re just starting” Annabelle answered “Okay, Luna, I’m just going to show you a few moves and I want you to copy. If I go too fast, let me know”
“Okay”
“Are you going to workout in your jacket?” Evet asked “You’ll overheat, take it off”
“Don’t even try it!” Koda called out, and we all looked up at him “Evet, mind your own business and worry about your own clothes”
I growled at him in annoyance. Was it only seconds ago that I was enjoying his touch?
“Did I miss something?” Evet asked as she looked between us but I just shook my head and turned back to Annabelle
“Can we start please”
Annabelle quickly started the workout, showing me some moves and getting us warmed up. Finally, she and I began one on one, while Evet roped another girl into being her sparing partner.
She was actually really skilled, and I hoped I’d match her one day.
Annabelle was showing me a new move, but when I kicked up at her side, she grabbed my thigh and slammed me down onto the mat.
I heard Koda growl and Annabelle quickly jumped up, as I sat up on my elbows and looked over at Koda.
He was staring at us with dark eyes and his claws out, but I just rolled my eyes and got up, he and Jax had literally done worse to me during our failed training session.
Ava tried to justify it by stating that the twins would never actually hurt us, but that Koda had no way of truly knowing if Annabelle was a threat, so I shouldn’t be too upset with him.
But I ignored her, my anger at Koda was only getting worse.
“Again” I said to Annabelle and prepared myself to attack again.
“You should lower yourself more, and move your left leg out” Someone said from behind me “You’ll be a lot more stable”
I turned to see who it was, and I froze, it was the man from my dream, the one who’d kissed my forehead.
I couldn’t believe it, he existed, it wasn’t just a dream, it had been a vision.
“If she needs instructions, I’ll give them” Annabelle snapped “Go”
My heart was racing as I looked at him. Who was he? Why was he important enough to warrant a vision from me?
I got a strange feeling around him, a little like I’d felt with the fake Tyrone, but then as suddenly as this feeling began, it vanished and he stepped back.
Had I just imagined that strange feeling because of my heat?
“I am sorry” He shrugged “I was just trying to help”
“She doesn’t need your help” Koda had come over to us “You’re late”
“I’m sorry your majesty” The man bowed “My father was”
“I DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU DAM EXCUSES!” Koda shouted, cutting him off as his power and Alpha aurora seeped out and filled the room.
Despite my angry mood at him, I couldn’t help how much his power excited me.
“WHEN I TELL YOU TO BE SOMEWHERE AT A SPECIFIC TIME, YOU WILL BE THERE, RUN LAPS AROUND THE GYM!”
“How many, Alpha?” He said, sounding unfazed.
‘As many as it takes for you to remember that my orders are to be followed, GO!”
The man bowed, first to Koda and then to myself before turning.
“What’s your name?” I blurted out before I could stop myself and Koda turned to glare at me with his mouth slightly open in anger.
The man turned “Noland”
“Thanks for the tip” I smiled as he bowed again and started his punishment run.
“What the hell was that?” Koda asked through the link.
“I was just thanking him”
“Well don’t!”
“WHAT EVER!” I snapped and turned my back on him.
I really didn’t know what was going on with me. I had to remember that Koda wasn’t just my mate, he was my future King, and we were in public. I shouldn’t be rude to him, but he was really getting under my skin right now.
I could feel Koda still standing behind me, but I ignored the tension and looked at Annabelle.
“Are we trying again?”
Koda growled again and left to go back to the others once more. What was his problem?! I was already feeling uncomfortable and irritable today because of those visions, and my stupid heat, and his stupid attitude was making things worse.
After another ten minutes, I was done. I couldn’t concentrate, and my skin was irritable and itchy. What the hell was wrong with me? This couldn’t be how your heat felt? Surely?
Annabelle had pinned me onto the mat but all I could think about was, how much I didn’t want anyone but my mates touching me and I reacted without thinking.
“ENOUGH!” I shouted and growled.
I flipped her off, accidentally throwing her hard and causing her to scream in pain and surprise as she landed hard on her tailbone.
“Holly cr*p” Evet sounded impressed.
“I’m so sorry!” I gasped as I jumped to my feet and rushed over to her “I didn’t mean to, are you okay?”
“Baby, come here” Koda said cautiously and grabbed my arm.
“GET OFF!” I screamed as he pulled me to my feet. I shoved him back, but he didn’t budge, he just stood there staring at me with darkening eyes.
The gym fell silent and everyone was staring at me and I felt very confused and uncomfortable. My body was heating up, and I was shaking in pain.
“Baby, please, come with me right now”
