Emerald Eyed Luna novel Nina (by Mrs.Smith) novel Chapter 29

Nina POV

Buzz buzz buzz, my alarm clock on my phone goes off. Goaning, I rolled over and pressed dismissed. I am so not a morning person. Can’t I just have five more minutes? Then I remembered I needed to get back to running and working out. Too many days have passed since I have done any form of training and, since I am over the age of 18, I will be expected to fight to protect the pack. It may not be my pack, but since I am staying here, it would be disrespectful not to. Rolling out of bed, I grabbed a bright pink sports bar, black leggings with a pink strip down the side and my black tennis shoes. No reason to do my makeup since I will be sweating it off. I pulled my hair into a pony tail and started stretching.

Alright, time to get this over with. My clock read 6:15am. If I run for an hour, then people should be showing up for training, so that the weight room should be open. I walked to the front door and went outside. I stood there for a minute and took a deep breath. The scenery was beautiful. I don’t think I will ever get tired looking at anything. Spring was in full bloom with summer right around the corner. Trees were full and thick, wild flowers had taken over the forest floor like a blanket and there was a warmth to the wind that just calmed your soul.

Suddenly, the front door opened and Wyatt emerged looking as hot as ever. He had on grey sweats, black shoes, no shirt and he had some impressive bedhead. His chest was solid muscle and I instantly wanted to lick them all. Shaking off those thoughts before they got away from me, I said, “Can I help you?”

Wyatt smirked, “not a morning person I see. I was going to go to training early. Are you going for a run?”

“Yeah, something like that.”

“Hmm, well maybe I will run with you this morning and let someone else take over training for the day.”

I about snapped my neck turning to face him. “And why would you do that? I am old enough to run alone sir” I said, annoyed. I swear, my mouth will get me into trouble one day.

“Well, then maybe I just want the company. Let’s go princess.” And with that, Wyatt started to slowly jog away, pulling my arm, forcing me to move.

Ripping my arm from his grasp, I kept up with his pace. We ran in silence for a while before. We ran down a dirt road. Forests lined each side to remind me how hidden this place really was. The road had a few curves in it and there were random dirt paths off to the side.

“Turn here” Wyatt said. It was a turn off the main road and led into the forest. I followed him and kept up with him. This dirt path was very narrow and I had to run behind him. Of course, that view made it all worth it.

“Where are you taking me? To my death?”

“If I wanted you dead, you would be by now. I just have a place I wanted to show you”, Wyatt said, laughing. It was a deep throaty laugh that made my knees buckle.

“You could try, but I can hold my own.”

“So, I have heard.”

“Oh, and from who exactly?”

“Do you honestly think we would have let you into the pack house without looking into your background?”

I rolled my eyes, “Or Zach opened his big mouth. Either way, all you had to do was ask and I would have told you.”

“You sure about that? You didn’t keep anything from my dad initially when he asked?” Wyatt challenged. I was saved from answering when he came to a stop and walked through an opening into the trees. It came to a clearing with a small pond in the middle. There are purple, pink and yellow wild flowers blooming with thick grass. Birds were flying around and the rabbits were bouncing nearby.

“This is beautiful!” I said as I looked around in awe. I was slightly out of breath.

“Yes, beautiful” Wyatt said. I turned to look at him and he was looking straight at my face. I felt my cheeks turn red and walked more into the clearing, towards the pond. There was a small rock looking over the edge and I sat down on it as I felt Wyatt sit down beside me.

“What exactly do you want to know, Wyatt? They aren’t secret, but it’s not something I want to talk about either. It’s not like I am holding information that will bring harm to the pack. I am just a girl running away from her problems.”

“Tell me about the ‘Three Bandits’ then,” Wyatt challenged.
