Making sure to grab my gym bag back at the pack house, that I almost forgot, before I went to the gym to train with Seth again, I walked quickly through the path in the woods to get to the gym. Once I arrived at the gym I quickly opened the door, the familiar clanking of weights and the musty smell of sweat and small amounts of blood greeted me, as I stepped inside and closed the door behind me.

Walking over to where I usually put my gym bag I looked around the gym, noticing a few people working out in two's or by themselves, I couldn't see Seth anywhere. 'Did he forget?' I thought. 'He's never once missed a training session with me.' Suddenly the door to the gym opened and I looked over expecting to see Seth, but what I saw didn't make sense.

"Nate? What're you doing here?" I said, the noisy gym slowing going silent. He looked tense, and his eyes were hard. Nate, who was scanning the room before I asked the question, snapped his eyes to me. Our eyes locked onto each other as he walked slowly towards me like I'd run if he made the wrong move. Once he got close enough, he stopped in front of me. Then as if realizing we weren't alone, everyone in the gym were staring at our interaction silently, he looked around for a second and his eyes fogged over for a minute and everyone suddenly shuffled out of the gym leaving us alone. He relaxed as soon as the last person left, his eyes softening as he looked at me.

"You didn't answer my question." I blurted, my mind foggy with how close he was. His eyes met mine for a second before he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the center of the room. I looked at him with curiosity and confusion.

"Where's Seth? He's suppose to be training me." I added wondering what the heck was going on. Nate stared at me for a few seconds and then finally answered my questions.

"I'm here because from this point on I'm going to train you, and Seth is at the hospital with Aryia keeping her entertained while you're here with me." He stated, looking into my eyes to see my reaction. Confused I asked,

"Why are you training me?" Tilting my head to right in confusion.

"Because you are my mate, and I am the Alpha, so that makes you the Luna. And as my Luna I want you to be able to defend yourself, and while Seth is good at fighting, I can take him down quickly. I want you to be as good as me, so you can stand next to me as my equal in everything." He confessed, scratching the back of his head. Touched, I pulled him into a hug and snuggled into his embrace as he wrapped his arms around me a few surprised seconds later. Pulling back a little to look him in the eyes I confessed,

"That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me, pulling back completely and quickly wiping under my eyes where they were a little moist. Taking a deep breath full of his rain, dirt, and musky scent, I said. "Okay then let's start." Nate looked at me with such intensity it made my knees weak.

"One sec." He said, grabbing my arm gently and pulled me back to his chest. I gasped, surprised, and looked at his face. His hand came up to cup my face as he and I looked deeply into eachothers eyes, emotions swirling in the depths of his chocolate brown eyes as he stared into my eyes. Then his eyes flicked to my lips for a second and then back to my eyes as a silent question, I slightly nodded, my brain and Rosealia silently screaming at him to kiss me already. He captured my lips in a sweet, slow kiss before he pulled back and gave me a small smile. "Okay now we can start." He smirked as I pulled away and tried to hide my blush.

A few hours of exhausting exercise, kisses for motivation, and blushes and smirks later, I stand in my shower back at the pack house too exhausted to wash my hair or body as I just let the water run down my body to get all the sweat off, eventually I reach one tired arm for my shampoo and start washing my hair. Nate did not hold back about training me I'm so sore. Once I finished I got out and wrapped a towel around myself and toweled my hair then brushed it and got changed into my pj's that I had left on the counter before I had gotten into the shower. I exited the bathroom in a burst of steam and threw my sweaty clothes in the hamper. My stomach growled and I sighed before I walked out my door and to the kitchen to grab something to eat before I collapsed on my bed for much needed sleep. Looking through the cupboards as I yawned, I decided to just grab a granola bar. I quickly ate it then threw the wrapper in the trash can then walked back to my room. As soon as I got comfortable in bed I fell asleep.
