Chapter 42 (Jaxon)

The week with Nolan has been as grueling as the week with Ezekiel, but in different ways. I know I’m strong, I know I worked muscles last week that I don’t normally use. This week, it was like I was using even more muscles that I’ve never used. I have no idea how many muscles are in the human body, but I feel like each week, I’m finding more and more of them.

Eve and I have barely had a moment alone together except at night when we fall into bed exhausted. As excited as I am to have a day off, the thought of having to sleep without her by my side, even for a week, is already filling me with dread.

It’s the morning before I head over to Alpha Luke’s pack. I walk into the dining room and see Jordan sitting with Nolan at breakfast. I walk over, sitting down with them.

“Nolan, thank you for quite a workout this week,” I tell him before ordering some food.

“You did very well, Alpha, as I expected you would. Your flexibility improved tremendously as did the reach of your kicks and punches.” “Where are you headed next?” I ask him.

“Alpha Antonio’s pack, but after speaking with your sister, I will be coming back in about a month. And in a week, I’ll be in Alpha Luke’s pack. I was just talking to Jordan about coming to train with me that week,” he says, looking at Jordan.

“Aren’t you going to Alpha Luke’s pack this week to train, Jordan?” I ask her.

“No, I have too much to do to get ready for my Alpha ceremony, so I asked Alpha Luke if it would be okay if I joined them the following week when Nolan is there,” she says.

“We could continue to work on your flexibility and strength if you join us,” Nolan says to me.

“We’ll see how it goes this week,” I say, watching as Eve walks in the dining hall with Magdalena.

Her eyes lock with mine and smiles spread across both our faces. I just left her thirty minutes ago, and I already can’t wait to be close to her again.

I turn back to Nolan. “I’ll talk to Eve. I know we’re invited to her grandmother’s pack for training and of course, Jordan has an open invitation for us to train here.”

“Well, then, I hope to see you soon, Alpha Jaxon.”
