*FIVE YEARS LATER*

"This is just the beginning, Lia. Get your ass up!"

Alpha Tristan's voice echoed through the sparing section of the field. My ringing head and sore muscles protested as I pushed myself off the floor.

"Clear your head and focus on your opponent. She won't go easy on you just because you have fallen a thousand times in the last fifteen minutes." His voice hit my eardrums again and again, I obeyed him, forcing my gaze to stay focused on the fierce brunette who had used my body as a mop to clean the field floor since we started sparring fifteen minutes ago.

The fierce brunette, Jessica, smirked at me, "Listen to the Alpha, Lia. Going easy on you isn't an option in my cookbook."

"I can only hope killing me during training isn't in that book of yours as well, Jesi." I retorted with a plea but amusement flashed through Jessica's eyes as she threw another punch my way.

I dodged.

Yet I found my body crashing to the floor again before I could protect my legs from Jessica. "Gosh, you're fast." I lamented, getting up before Alpha Tristan interfered.

"You can't keep giving me the chance and expect me not to take it, Lia." Jessica countered with a shrug and a smile that told me she was pleased with herself.
