The Alpha and His Contract Luna (Lauren) novel Chapter 63

“You’re not doing it right. You have to keep your hands steady and your fists firm” Sebastian tells me in that husky voice of his.

“I still don’t see the use of learning this. I have Blue and Midnight and in case you haven’t noticed, Midnight is one scary bitch” I murmur, firming my fist like he wanted me to.

“And how scary was she when you got attacked the last time?” he asks sarcastically.

I wanted to snap at him but he was right. We were in the training ground and he was training me to fight. Hand to hand combat.

“I know you don’t see the point of this but it’s important. The first thing I train my warriors on, is hand to hand combat. There are times you won’t be able to depend on your wolf so it will basically leaves you defenseless if you don’t know how to fight”

As much as I hate to admit it, he was right. I depend on my other halves so much. What happens when I can’t access them?

The easiest way to take down a werewolf is to render their wolves incapacitated, so if you were relying on them like I was then you’re totally screwed.

I shake my head and focus on the task on hand. Pulling my hand back, I throw my punch but it seems like it’s still not good enough because Sebastian groans

“You’re still not doing it right” he grumbled

“Well what did you expect? That I would be able to get it in a day?” I ask in irritation.

“Well, yes” he responds as if it was natural for me to know how to throw a perfect punch after just a few hours of training.

This time I am the one that groans. My hands fall to my side and I plaster him with the meanest look I could master.

We started training yesterday after work. Since my head wound was healed, I went back to work. We agreed that we both would be coming from work earlier so that he could train me because he didn’t want his unmated warriors near me.

“That’s absurd. There’s no way I can get it so soon. I need time”

“Time is what we don’t want. Who knows where the next hit man will come after you. You need to be ready in case I can’t get to you in time”

Bash, he had insisted I call him that. Filled me in on how he had been able to get to me. He explained how he had felt my fear and panic through our mate bond and how he had followed it to where I was.

When he marked me, I cursed the bond but after he told me everything I was glad that he had access to me.

“I know that” I snap, stomping my feet like a bratty child. “But you’re the worst kind of teacher. The type who isn’t patient and expects his student to get it on the first try.”

I used to hate those kinds of teachers in school. Mainly because they had a way of making you feel stupid just because you weren’t sharp enough to get it when they explained it the first time.

“My warriors usually get it the first time” he argues.

“Yes, but they are warriors. Most of them train way before they come to you for additional training. Besides they are male and their ego usually doesn’t allow them not to get it the first time”

He scrunches his forehead. Looking at me like everything I just said went over his head and he didn’t get a single thing.

“Can we at least take a break? We’ve been at this for nearly two hours” I plead.

“No” he says before adding. “In fact I think you need to go sixty laps across the field. Maybe that will warm you up enough”

I look at him like he has grown a third head.

“Sixty laps! Are you freaking serious?” I yell. Feeling like I was hyperventilating.

I couldn’t do ten laps and breathe properly, what about sixty. I was going to die. Sure I could do it in wolf form, I could run kilometers in wolf form but I can't do it in human form.

“That just shows how your human side is weak and basically useless” Blue pops in my mind.

“Shut up” I growl at her but she just looks at me lazily. Her mouth moving in a wolf-like smirk.

Midnight decided to join in. “She’s right though, and so is Bash. You human body is weak as hell”

Not wanting to hear what they have to say next, I shut them off and glare at the man staring at me in a hard face.

“Just start the damn laps Lauren. It’s for your good”

Needing to get away from him before I hit him in his jeweled balls, I start running, although reluctantly. I truly hate how he is able to get under my skin. Not even Darren was able to ruffle my feathers the way Bash is doing.

As I angrily run, I think of that day when I fell asleep next to him. I woke up on top of him. My head was on his chest, half of my body was on him with my legs thrown over him.

He had his hands wrapped loosely around my waist. For a moment I was tempted to fall back asleep because I was too comfortable but I decided against it.

I thought he was asleep so I tried to get up and sneak out before he woke up. The moment I lifted my head, his body stiffened and the arm on my waist tightened, preventing me from moving.
