The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 98

Ninety-Seven: Training Grounds

Ashton

Brighton and I are at the training grounds. We are here training, but also to find out who is taking the pictures. Josh and Peter are also here watching their mates train. Our head trainer asked the four of them if they would like to start training with us. They said yes. Obviously, he will have to modify training since they are human. They have worked out with us in the gym, and I have to admit they are strong. Seth and Josh used to participate in street and underground fighting. I have just finished sparring, and I am sitting by Peter. We are sitting there talking when he gives me a look.

“Those are the two guys,” Peter whispers.

I look around at the training grounds. I am trying to act like I am not looking at them. I have seen them around, but I don’t know them personally. I think they have been in the pack for a while. I quickly mind-linked Brighton to let him know that they are here. He is over-talking to our head trainer. I watch to see where they are going. I snap a few pictures of them and send them to both Marcus and Jason. That way, they can search through the pack's member list and find out who they are. They walk to the opposite side of the training grounds and sit to watch a few of the other guys spar. I text Chris the pictures and ask if he could have one of the animals follow these guys. A few minutes later, he shows up.

“I am going to have Brandon follow them. I don’t want the animals going to my sisters and telling them about these two until we know why they are taking the pictures and for who.” Chris tells me.

“Yeah, that makes sense. We don’t need the girls going off and interrogating them. I don’t need Kaleb kicking my ass if Kylani gets stressed out over this.” I tell him.

Chris laughs at that comment. It’s true. Kaleb is so overprotective of Kylani. I have no idea how she deals with him. I mean, I do understand why. If Jailynn were pregnant with twins, I wouldn’t let her out of the house. I am so glad that Liam gave us the idea to let the girls paint and decorate the newly renovated cottages. This has at least kept them busy. Although I thought the whole playing with their powers was hilarious. I see Brighton jump in the ring, and one of the guys spars with him. Good, this gives us an idea of how good of a fighter they are. Chris laughs at the scene. Both of the guys are decent fighters, but Brighton easily kicks their asses. They won’t be a problem to handle if they try to start shit. I got a text back from Marcus letting me know he got my text, and they are digging for information on the two right now. Good, the sooner we can bring these two in and have a chat, the sooner we can find out who is paying them to take the pictures.

Jason

Marcus and I are looking through the pack members' profiles. We just recently implemented a facial recognition program for security purposes. We also have hidden cameras along the borders of the territory. If someone who is not on our list tries to cross the border, a silent alarm sounds and gives the location of the breach. I had just uploaded the pictures into our database when Alexis walked in and plopped down on my lap. I give her a kiss on her temple.

“To what do I owe this visit baby?” I ask.

“Just wanted to see what you two were up to. Also, we are waiting for some stuff to get delivered for the cottages.” She answers.

“Good, so project cottage is going well then?” I ask.

“Yes, we are also working with one of the architects to build an entertainment business possibly. You know, the pack could do things like bowling, an arcade, laser tag, paintball, and other fun activities.” She says.

“That’s a great idea,” Marcus adds.

I am impressed that they came up with this idea on their own. It is an excellent idea, and I am sure the pack will love it. I wonder what other ideas these ladies have come up with. I am glad they found something better to occupy their time than scaring the pack by playing with their powers. That was funny, but I do see Dustin’s point. I know that they are not going to start anything on fire. Alexis hangs out for about twenty more minutes until Kylani lets her know that their stuff has arrived, and she leaves. Of course, not before tripping over nothing and almost falling on her face. Luckily, Marcus could catch her and keep her from smacking her head on the door. God, I love her, but she is so klutzy. I always thought goddesses were supposed to be grateful. Not my Alexis; she is terribly uncoordinated. According to Hades, she has been like this since she started walking. I am actually worried about our baby when she is pregnant. I know pregnancy can throw a woman’s balance off, and since her balance is already bad, I can only imagine what would happen.
