Chapter 2

I wake up late, again. It is Tuesday, so I have training before school. Colin obviously will be there and Victoria will no doubt be in the stands watching him. I wish I could walk up to him and claim him in front of everyone right here and now. Three days. I have to wait another three days to find out what is going to happen between us.

I get to the field as everyone is finishing their last lap around the track. I sigh in relief because I dread running. I spot my dad in his all blue track suit, which is so embarassing. I swear he does it to humiliate me. He's an attractive guy, and obviously in great shape, but dresses like he's from a boy band in the 90's.

“Nice of you to finally join us, Elenor!” I HATE when he calls me by my whole name, and I equally hate that as the top warrior, my father is the trainer. He has never let me slack off, because it would look bad for him. 

“Sorry dad, I couldn't find my shoes, so I had to borrow some from Heather.” I blurt the first excuse I could come up with.

With werewolves, when you come of age you get to move into the pack house with the rest of the unmated wolves. It’s basically a co-ed dorm house, in a find your lover sense. My father used to take me with him to training, but now I just have to walk out the pack house and down to the football field. I was never late while living at home, but I can't seem to make it on time living on my own.

“Ok, well since I know you’re lying and you’re late, again, you need to run and then get right into training. Your first partner today is Colin. Luke, since you half assed the last lap, why don't you run another one with Ellie."

What!?! I have to fight with Colin? My father has GOT to be joking. UGH, today is going to be hell, and it is only 6:45 am.

I trudge over to the track and Luke meets up with me. We start jogging and I can tell he's thinking about something and trying to figure out if he wants to say it or not. 

"What Luke? Just say it." I try to not make it come out annoyed, but I failed.

“Ok Ellie, why are you really late? You have at least ten pairs of tennis shoes.” Luke, like my father, can see right through me. Either that, or I am a terrible liar. It’s probably the latter.

“I was up talking to Leia, my wolf! Luke, she’s amazing! It’s like she’s my twin, we are so similar in so many ways! I cannot wait to see what she looks like!” I can't help my excitement and I am practically squealing. 

He stops in his tracks and hugs me so tightly I have to punch him to get him to let go of me.

“You met your wolf already? Ellie that’s so amazing! It took me two weeks after I turned seventeen to meet Jack! Do you know who your mate is yet?” He looks at me eagerly in anticipation while holding onto my arms, but I don't really think it is sincere. He doesn’t want to know my mates name unless it is him.

I kick at the dirt and try to stall. How can I tell him who it is? What would he say? I know he’s my best friend and I tell him everything, but I just can’t tell him this. Him and Colin are so close, this might ruin that.

“YOU DO KNOW! WHO IS--”

“I will make you both do another lap if you don’t start running again!” My father saves the day, phew, thank goddess!

“You know I will force you to tell me, right?” He let's go of me and we continue to run.

I do know he will, but like always, I will put up one hell of a fight for the information.

After we are completely done with our lap, the fights have already started. Maybe it's a good thing I was late today, because I am able to watch a few of them on my way to the center of the field, where we all spar. 

"You both will just have to fight each other today." My dad yells out to us and I let out an obnoxious breath of relief. Luke just laughs at me.

Before we get into position I look over and see Colin in a fight already. I can't help but watch him.

Colin throws a jab at Tim, who is our second warrior's son. It knocks him back a few steps and Leia purrs in my head. Goddess he's sexy when he fights. Colin turns his head towards me and I whip mine back towards Luke to begin our match.

As the top female trainee, I am a good match for our Beta-to-be, but he always takes it easy on me because I’m his best friend and a girl. I secretly know he has always liked me, but I never have seen him like that. I know it stings for him to be friend zoned but he has never said anything.

I swear Colin keeps looking my way, even throughout his fight. Does he feel something? Does he know? I quickly shake that thought away and get back to my own fight. I am not really into it today which isn’t like me. I'm usually ruthless and don't hold back no matter who I am paired with.

"Why do you seem so preoccupied today Ellie?" Luke knows how I am with my training, especially against him. Today I just can't seem to concentrate on what I am supposed to be doing. Leia keeps wanting to smell and get close to Colin and frankly it is really annoying and distracting. Not to mention a little weird.

"I'm thinking about the dance this weekend." He doesn’t believe that lie for a second and gives me the disappointed dad look before sweeping his foot behind mine, taking my legs from under me.

"Get up and focus. Your dad and the Alpha are watching us." He points behind me and I glance up, searching the bleachers to see if the Alpha has shown up. He hasn't, and As soon as I turn back around I catch Luke's fist to my mouth, Hard. I lick my bottom lip and taste blood. This instantly gets my head back into gear. I wipe it off with the back of my hand and glare at him.

"Luke what the hell! Why would you do that?" I steady myself and get into my stance, ready to beat the crap out of him.

"There she is. Let's do this for real now!" His eyebrows dance at me.

I shake my head. What a jerk. He knows that when the Alpha shows up I will fight practically to the death just to prove myself worthy, even though I know it's not needed. I am the only female trainee on Tuesday mornings, but I'm a better fighter than most of the males. My dad has trained me since I was five years old and has never held back. He always tells me that I should know how to defend myself, and to never expect anyone to save me.

After getting a busted lip and a few bruised ribs, training is now over. Luke beat me this time, but my secret about Colin is still safe, for now at least. It's time to hit the showers and get ready for school. I will be completely healed by then anyway. I really do love being a werewolf.

******

As I am rinsing out my hair, a hand slips around my waist and pulls me closer. I open my eyes and there is Colin, naked, in my shower. 

"What ar-"

He slams his lips onto mine as his hand on my back pulls me closer, sending tingles throughout my body. I quickly part my lips when his toungue brushes agaisnt my bottom, begging for entry and a low growl escapes his throat. 

His fingers immediately find my folds, already extremely lubricated for his entry, and they plunge deep inside. I hum deeply into his mouth in approval as he glides his fingers in and out of my core. I roll my hips in circles, causing his palm to rub against my sensitive bud, this time causing a loud moan to escape my mouth. 

Colin's eyes begin to dance between black and Hazel, signaling that his wolf is quite enjoying himself, and he is having a hard time controlling him. This only turns me on more, and I suck in his bottom lip, before nibbling on it.

My claws extend and I drag them down Colin's back earning yet another growl, this one slightly louder. I practically purr at his growl and he takes that as an invitation. He removes his fingers only to replace them with his extremely long and hard erection. 

My eyes spring open as my walls make room for his size, and I scream with pleasure. He begins trailing hot passion filled kisses from my mouth, down my neck, and towards my marking spot. As he does this, waves of electricity soar throughout my body. 

Colin keeps sucking and kissing on my neck while his member continues sliding in and out of me with purpose. I moan louder with every thrust and soon I can feel my climax rising. I know he senses it as well. With the climbing of my peak his pumps only get faster and harder. 

"Cum for me Ellie." He pulls his head back and looks deep into my eyes. With one final thrust my body is sent into overdrive as I finally hit the release it's been craving. I ride out the high that only my mate could give me, humming loudly the entire time. 

I place one hand on the cold, tile shower wall and pant heavily as I take my own fingers from my core, which is still throbbing and sensitive from my orgasm. I wash my body yet again and try to clear my mind of the intense daydream that just took place. I shiver from every contact and close my eyes, smiling at the thought of this actually happening.

I'm going to be late for school now, and have to face Colin. Great.
