Andrei POV

Sage lurches forward as I grip her fist like I expected as she tries to punch me, she turns underneath my arm, her smile not slipping as she tries to get out of my grip. Her eyes sparkling and I saw her intentions a moment too late as her foot connected with the back of my knee making me jerk forward onto one knee. She jumps on my back, her arms locking around my neck in a choke hold, holding my hand still on her wrist as she effectively starts choking me with my own arm. I let her wrist go trying to get her off but her legs wrap around my waist and she crosses her ankles, her arms locked tightly restricting my airways.

Zane laughs as he watches, telling her to hold on. I grip her thighs knowing she is ticklish and she falters. Her laugh is like music to my ears. “That’s cheating” She shrieks her grip loosening as she struggles to not let go.

“No rules in a street fight” I tell her.

“I doubt someone she is fighting is going to try to tickle her, ” Zane laughs as she clings to me. Her legs unwrapping from my waist yet she still doesn’t let go instead dropping backwards on her knees and I reach around trying to get to her ribs knowing she is most ticklish there. She shrieks as my fingers dig into her, her arms letting go and I laugh standing back up.

“You definitely cheated Alpha, she would have had you” Vince laughs watching.

“Still do” Sage laughs, making me turn around to see her leg swipe out at the last second whipping my feet out from under me as I hit the ground on my back.

‘Ha didn’t see that one coming’ Donnie laughed in my head as she pounced on me, but she always knew she was at a disadvantage when she was on top, she was too light and easy to toss off as she tried to lock her legs around my arm but I sink my teeth into her thigh.

“No cheating” She shrieks as I yank my arm, lifting her body off the ground before hitting the ground.

“ It’s not cheating” I tell her, escaping her easily the moment her legs let go of my arm. I moved quickly, pinning her on her stomach as she tried to escape me. Sage was getting stronger, quicker and more confident in training yet she was still easily taken down by Vince, Casen and Zane. She was more reluctant and hesitant in training with them, she knew I wouldn’t get mad if she hurt me, not that they would either. We encouraged her too but she was always more wary though she was fitting into the pack nicely and knew everyone by name now. Sage had even gone running with most of the pack, or occasionally did border patrols with Malik and Zane but only close to the borders, never on the front lines. None of them wanted to risk her and she was hesitant to be that far from home.

Her breathing was hard as I pressed down on her before pulling her arm behind her back while laughing. She growls at me before throwing head back and I grunt as her head connects with my cheek making me let go before she rolls slightly, her elbow smashing into my ribs before I manage to pin her again. She was running out of steam and she slumped on the ground giving up.

“You done love?” I chuckle.

“I will get you eventually” She taunts.

“I hope so” I tell her, leaning down and kissing her cheek. I lift up letting her roll beneath me.

“Ah if you are going to start making out, I am out” Casen says getting to his feet and tapping Vince’s shoulder to follow. They both walk off leaving only Zane. Zane laughs at their retreating figures before they start racing each other and shoving each other as they go. I laugh at the sight of them, Sage also chuckling softly watching them before looking up at me and I press my lips to hers before biting her bottom lip.

‘Why do you do it’ Donnie whines as I feel my cock twitch to life in my shorts before moving and hopping off her when she tenses also feeling my arousal. I let her up before helping her pull the twigs and grass from her hair with Zane’s help.

Her scent gets to me. I loved training with her but it was punishing as well. Her closeness always affected me yet besides kissing she was still uncomfortable with touch unless we were sparing.

“Go shower Luna, or do you want to head to the strawberry patches first?” Zane asks her.

“Strawberry patches” She says snatching up the water bottle off the grass. Zane stands looping his arm through hers and tugging her toward the patches. He looks over his shoulder at me as I start to follow after them. He smirks, shaking his head at my raging boner.

“Go have a shower Alpha, you can go rub the skin off it” Zane laughs through the link.

“F*ck you” I tell him adjusting myself in my shorts.

“Hard pass, I ain’t that desperate yet” Zane laughs and I roll my eyes at him. He always loved taunting me after training knowing how worked up I got with her pressed against me. It was getting harder and harder to deal with. Donnie wanted to mark and mate her but since Lior it was like trying to rebuild the trust again. She knew she was safe with me but Zane told me he overheard her talking to Casen when he asked her why she still hadn’t let me mark her.

When I asked Casen about it, he said Sage was worried that as soon as I did I would go back to killing Rogues because she wouldn’t be able to leave then. I haven’t killed any, but saying that I also stayed away from the borders to steer clear of temptation. Sage could feel that through the bond and knew how hard it was for me to break old habits. I think it worried her I would revert back to it. We had a few small attacks but my men disabled them quickly, we have also had scouts come looking for food before being scared off. I was better staying away from the borders for now.

Walking back to the packhouse I see Derrick coming out of the front door. “Son” he acknowledged me and I nodded to him. Things weren’t quite as strained between us, and he had

been here nearly three months, which I was surprised about. He never asked to go home but I sent him back every weekend to see Kat only for him to return the next day.

“Are you going to see Kat and the kids this weekend?” I ask him.

“I was thinking about it- ”

“Just go, I never expected you to stay here Derrick. I know she is your daughter, you don’t need to babysit me” I tell him.

“You’re my son, Kat is doing good but she is getting nervous of the Alpha meeting, her coronation of sorts. I wanted to head back to help with the kids” He says and I nod walking to the door.

“Where is Sage?” He asks, looking to the hill.

“Strawberry patch” I tell him and he nods following me inside.

“How are things with her, any closer to marking her?” I sigh, but shake my head.

“No, I don’t know. It is what it is” I shrug heading for the stairs to my bathroom. Derrick follows as I walk into the bathroom. I raise an eyebrow at him as I turn on the shower.

“I was thinking, ” He says.

“Hopefully thinking of stepping out old man because I don’t fancy showering with you” I tell him and he laughs, turning around and leaning on the door frame with his back to me.

“We are both men, you haven’t got anything I haven’t got”

“Yeah, only a few more inches Derrick, ” I tell him.

“Ha that’s what you think” He tosses over his shoulder. I shook my head at him but tugged my shorts off. The grass making me itchy, n*delity wasn’t a big thing obviously but still it was awkward showering knowing my father was right there.

“Well what’s up then?” I ask him deciding to ignore my father’s presence while I showered.

“I was, well I was wanting to ask” he fumbles for words and I stick my head out the shower to see if he was still there when he falls silent.

“Just spit it out, what is it?” I ask him.

 

“Well, you can say no and I will understand but I thought…. since I have been here for the last 3 months. I actually like it here ” He sighs and I try to think of what it is he is getting at when he pauses again.

This is the most awkward shower I think to myself.
