Chapter 12

After weighing my options I realized that no matter what I would have to find the meal so I focused on finishing my meal and I prayed that Ryker would forget about the training issue I don’t even know why I bothered praying because it seems that when I pray about stuff they always seem to blow up in my Face

The first time being when Lauren came into my room earlier despite me praying she wouldn’t and the second time being when Ryken told me that I would be training with Lauren commencing immediately

I knew he was just trying to help but in all honesty, I wish he wouldn’t. I don’t know what he’s trying to prove but being nice to me isn’t going to change everything I already know about him and how he treats his pack All I want right now is for him to reject me so I can leave

The last thing I want to do is to be tied down and mated to another Alpha who is cruel and horrible to his subjects. There could be someone just like me suffering under him right now and how terrible would I be if I allowed myself to freely mate

with him

I didn’t want to argue about it so I thanked him for the training opportunity and locked myself in the room. I didn’t step out until the next morning when I heard a subtle knock on the door. I opened it to reveal Eve and she handed me some folded clothes and shoes that I knew were for training.

I put them on and felt uncomfortable in them. The leggings were even tighter than the ones I usually wore and it felt like if I as much as bent over they would rip. I wasn’t to wear a corset under it because the top was as tight as the leggings. It stopped just below my belly button and when I stretched or bent over, a silver of skin was revealed.

Eve smiled when she saw me and helped me put on the new sneakers. They came from a box so I knew they were brand new and a part of me didn’t want to wear it because I knew it would get dirty but Lauren appeared at my door and I knew I didn’t have much time left.

I stood up and her eyes raked over my body in a way that made my skin crawl and made me want to curl up into a ball and hide. Finally, she met my eyes and made a dismissive sound.

“Honestly you couldn’t look worse if you worse a trash bag.” She laughed to herself at her own joke.

1 looked over at her, “You’re wearing the same thing.”

“Yes, but I don’t look like a pregnant sea urchin,” she spat, “We don’t have all day.”

She turned on her heels and I was left to follow her.

I thought we would be training with the other guards and soldiers but instead she led me to a secluded spot behind the house. It was the field that my window overlooked and I saw that someone had arranged training equipment for us. There were makeshift weights, a ball and some other things that I did not recognize.
