The storm that morning was heavy and the weather cool enough to make her moan in comfort and the warmth of the sheets, caressed her skin softly.

The beautiful hazel eyes still hunted her non-stop. And that kiss....

Her hands went unconsciously grazing her breast slightly as she replayed the feeling when he touched her. Reaching the edge of her night dress, her hands only felt her legs and to a hand full of the dress she wore to sleep before returning to play with her breast. Their moans echoed over and over again as if it was happening over again and she was enjoying every bit of it. She moaned in her sleep when she recurred the way his hands gripped her waist.

She woke with a start when thunder struck, gasping as if she had just done a marathon.

Impossible!  She thought.

In her 19years of age, never had she had to crave for such a feeling.

"Fuck!" She groaned covering her eyes with the palm of her hands.

When the storm finally calm down and the atmosphere was beginning to get sunny. She decided to take a walk around. The Alpha had declared a 2days holiday to celebrate the Huem redianis. She scoffed when she saw a few warriors training on the field.

"Is this how they observe holidays around here?"

She observed that everyone that passed by her didn't hesitate to stare at her till they were tired. She had been the topic of the week and she had no idea when they would all get over it. She looked around, taking in her environment when she heard Logan call out her name.

"Tasha, come over." She looked around to be sure but when she saw him raise a brow at her. Of course she was the only Tasha around here. Thank God for that at least. She walked over to him.

"Hey," he smiled at her in return. At least he was warming up to her.

"Hello. What are you doing standing over there on your own?"

"Staring?" She answered sarcastically. "At least that's what everyone finds a hobby here." Logan chucked at that.

"You'll get use to it. It's a big thing for somebody to be honoured by the Alpha." Logan replied her.

"Hm." She replied. "Is this what you guys do in your spare time? Just play around with daggers and rub your furs on the ground?"

"Who said anything about playing around? We are training Tasha and the people are here because they want to be here." Logan replied.

"Well that's a dumb way of spending free day. Why not hang out. Find something interesting to do." Tasha replied.

"Look, around here people take hanging out to be whiling away time. Because in our world, if you want to survive you should be willing do things more than just hanging out. And that's what I'm going to teach you."

She stared at him incredulously. "Teach me?"

"Aaliyah said. Aisle is the beginning of your destiny and in other to stay in Aisle, you have to fit in." Logan said to her.

"Okay....very understandable....emm but do we have to do this now?" She asked starting to develop cold feet from the stares people were giving her.

"Keep your eyes on me. Forget the people around you. They are mere distractions." He said taking steps back away from her.

"Take your stance Tasha." Tasha stood in the only position she could wishing this could end as quick as it started.

"Hit me," he said.

"What? How.... where-" She mumbled.

"Hit me Tasha." It wasn't a request, it was an order and she did as she was told, charging at him with everything she's got.

Luca and Scott were making their own conversation when they came to stop at the field. Tasha and Logan had become center of attraction as people had actually stopped to watch Tasha's demise.

"She doesn't even have her stance correctly." Scott said but Luca attention wasn't even there. His wolf disagreed on the closeness of these two people. His Gamma and his soon to be mate....if she would even look at him again. She ran away from him, she ran away from an Alpha for crying out loud. Every unmated and some mated female envied Tiffany when he made their relationship official and now his own mate runs from him?

Typical.

Tasha fell for the ninth time and became the amusement if the little crowd that gathered, again.

"Done playing around Tasha?" Logan mocked and she stood up in anger, taking her stance once again.

"For a starter, she's doing...."

"Horribly," Luca completed for his father, still not taking his eyes from them.

"She's not that bad though." Scott tried again. "You were a lot worse when you first began." Scott said and Luca took his eyes away from them for the first time since he arrived.

"No, I wasn't. Look at her, she can't even get the stance properly. She should quit this immediately and not make a fool of herself. I'm going to stop this immediately." He said taking his eyes back to them.

"At least she's good at one thing, mixing herbs."

"That's what a physician should be doing not-" he paused when he read deeply into his father's words. "She's-"

"The one who saved your life." Scott replied him.

"It can't be," Luca found himself muttering.

"It's something the matter?" Scott asked but Luca shook his head. "I couldn't let my distaste for humans cloud my judgement this time. I know someone with a good heart when I see one."

"I'll be right back," he left his father there and went into the training ground. When Logan saw him, he bowed in respect even before Tasha noticed him to be here.

"Alpha Luca," Logan called out and Tasha was forced to look up at the man who invaded her dream last night.

"Having a nice time, Tasha is it?" Luca began.

"Glad I could be your entertainment." She retorted, looking anywhere other than at him. "And yes it is Tasha."

"When I'm talking to you, you look directly at me." His voice had sent chills round her body and she didn't know when she met his eyes. She froze there, allowing the rest of the world go behind them. The same lips that kissed her was staring back at her. She swallowed nervously.

Watching him flex those muscles was enough to crave touching it or even desire that those hands gripped her hip.

She snapped out of her thoughts went he smirked and gave her a knowing look. Taking off his shirt, he heard the gasp of so many girls and how they swoon over those perfect muscles.

Tasha's eyes dropped to his chest instantly. My goodness, he had the perfect chest.

"Well, are you going to ogle me all day?"

She shook her head, clearing her thoughts before scoffing at him.

"You must really like the attention, Alpha Luca." He frowned at that because he definitely disagreed to her calling him by his title but they had a long way to go. He was going to make her his for sure.

"I am Alpha after all, I have to deal with it."

She contemplated. Knowing that if she couldn't stop ogling him, she wouldn't get anything done.  "I'm tired, I need to leave." She said.

Luca wasn't going to leave it. "Take your stance Tasha,"

"I'm not going to add to my embarrassment anymore." She retraced her steps.

"Tasha," Logan called in warning but she had already turned waking hurriedly out of the training ground. The field became filled with hushed tones because never in the history of Aisle had a mere girl disrespected the Alpha.
