I told all the guys they didn’t have to do any training, but knew they wouldn’t be able to sit out either. We did basic cardio, some stretching, which the guys hated, and then strength training in the weight room.
I needed to feel like I put my body through something today to get stronger, but I also had two hard days of full battle and I am still recovering from those beat downs. There’s nothing like the feeling when your endorphins hit during exercise though It’s the best Idnd of high ever.
“Okay guys we can go now, we will be back to our regular schedule tomorrow, so let’s not overdo it.”
I laugh at their sweaty faces, look at Sierra then grab her hand and run for it. I have no idea what I was thinking, but for once in my life I went with an instinct to just play and a game of cat and mouse seems like fun. We are laughing through the streets, making sure to keep the guys in our sights, but not close enough to catch us. As I run up the steps to the packhouse front door ready to declare myself the winner, I am looking back over my shoulder to make sure I can still see the guys who are kind of running behind us, they have clearly given up on the chase and could have easily caught up a long time ago, when I run smack into someone and and we both go toppling down inside the entryway. “WHAT THE HELL?! Could you at least watch where you are going? There is no reason to run through the door like a wild animal. This is a formal packhouse and should be treated with respect and dignity.”I am so sorry, I didn’t realize the door was open when…”
My words fall short when I look up into the hateful eyes of Kaley. She had already popped back up to her feet elegantly, while I am slowly scraping my heap of a body off the porch. “What are you still doing here? I thought everyone went home. “Don’t be ridiculous, of course I came back You don’t think you can hog Cam and Kota as well as the Alpha Prince do you, you little skank? You need to get out of the way, there is no reason for them to even entertain the idea of being friends with you, let alone anything more, which is clearly what you are trying to do by leading them all on. She’s talking extremely loudly and I’m not sure why.
“Won’t your boyfriend be upset at all the time you spend with other guys? You must be an expert at all forms of s*x to keep them all occupied at the same time. Or maybe you get extra perks with the Alpha by keeping his sons satisfied.
“Huh?! What are you talking about?” “Why haven’t we heard about a boyfriend?” Oliver asks behind me. Kaley looks at me with a triumphant gleam in her eye. “That’s somethingwe should probably know about there, Bitty, don’t you think? “What?! NO, 1…”
thinkwe need to discuss this and make sure we approve of this guy, you know standards and all Of that. Thank you Kaley for bringing this to our attention. I’m sure you can see yourself out since you should have left hours ago anyway. Sam chimes in and pushes me past her and further into the packhouse followed by the rest of the guys and Sierra, who shuts the door in her bewildered face. “We need to find something to occupy that girl, she is exhausting to try and get rid of all the time.”
Sierra smiles at me. “You okay, she was kind of harsh. “You don’t really have a boyfriend right?” Kota asks. “Really? That’s what you’re worried about? When none of you leave her alone for longer than twenty minutes at a time. Kaley was a b*tch to one of your best friends, and continues to tell people she’s the future Luna, that she’s sleeping with the exclusively and who knows what else and you’re worried about a boyfriend she fabricated to make Skylar sound like a sl*t? Sky should be allowed to punch you in the balls as hard as she can for that. “I’m not punching anyone, right now. And, no, I don’t have a boyfriend. Are you kidding? I wouldn’t even know what to do in that situation. I barely talk to you guys, let alone any other guy in the pack I’m grabbing some food and heading to my room. I need to get back on track, we still have school and training this week I need to get caught up.”
I turned and walked to the kitchen, not caring if any of them followed me. This whole week has thrown me off my usual track. We’ve been out of school and I haven’t had to deal with Kaley and her minions, everyone visiting has pulled my focus, but now that they are all gone and the dust is settling, my old routine of ‘hide from the b *tches’ will return and I can only hope I did enough to have the Elite Warriors want me next year. It’s almost as if the kitchen omegas knew I was coming. A plate was ready for me with a sandwich, chips, veggies, sliced fruit and a bottle ofwater. One looked over at me as I came through, nodded her head to the plate and then winked before going backto her chores. “Thank you, Lenny! How did you know? This looks amazing! “You always eat a full meal after training. Gotta keep you well fed since you keep those boys of ours in line. She shrugs like it’s common knowledge and not a big deal. ”Well, I appreciate it. Thank you so much.”
I hug her before I grab my things and start to head back out and toward the stairs as the rest of my friends file into the kitchen. “Hey, Lenny! Can we possibly get a snack too? Smalls totally worked us over and we burned through your amazing cooking from earlier.”
Kota asks excitedly after seeing my plate. “All the supplies are right there on the counter for you boys, Sierra, your plate is right there. Miss Skylar went up with hers already. “Wait! You made them plates and not us? I thought we were tight Lenny!” Sam whines. “We are, which is why you have access to food right after I just fed half the pack and guests and just finished cleaning everything up. Those two young ladies of yours, however, clean up after themselves and never make me come find my dishes.”
I giggle at her response.
These boys may help with parties, but they clearly don’t with the daily chores. She may be an elderly omega, but she’s like a grandma you don’t cross at the best of times.
I stood waiting for Sierra at the bottom of the stairs, still smiling as they all whined and she scolds them playfully. Sierra meets me at the base of the stairs with her plate giggling as we hear the boys protest Lenny’s claims. We head to my room and get started on the work for the next few weeks. I know Pm not behind, but it feels weird to not have a month’s worth Of assignments basically complete.
For the first time in what feels like forever, but has only actually been about a week, the guys leave us alone. It actually felt weird to not have their auras and voices filling the room. Once we were done with all of the work we could complete, we headed outside. The day was so nice and I wanted to soakup the last rays of sun sitting in the hammock and reading quietly. Sierra just laid beside me and dozed.
We only last a few minutes before I look over at her lying next to me in the massive hammock “When do you leave? I actually didn’t think about you only being here this year until Xander left today.”
“I actually don’t know, my parents didn’t have an exact return date. Who knows, maybe I can stick around a little while longer.”
She smiles over at me. This year has been a blast, and very eventful.”
She giggles. “I was actually afraid of being bored away from the never ending business of the Royal pack. There is always something going on, something that needs attention, some person or pack that needs something. And don’t get me started on the morons who think it’s a good idea to try and attack and overthrow the Alpha King. But you, my friend, have kept me just as on my toes as any of those people. You are deceiving in your tiny little package.”
She squints over at me. “Well, maybe I will get accepted into the Elite Warrior program and I can get out of here and come see your world. That would actually be a fun trade.”
“You really have to stop talking about leaving, Bitty.
Oliver comes around the corner of the little hedge hiding my hammock holding his chest as he sits down on my side effectively scooching me to the center and almost sending us flying off with the unbalanced weight. “WHOA SH*T! sorry! He yelps. Thankfully he’s quick on his feet literally, and stops the hammock from completely capsizing. He shifts us around so he’s lying in between us. ‘(Why did you change your nickname for Sky? I noticed, earlier.”
Sierra trails off, we are all thinking about how they found me this morning in the Luna’s room. “You called her ‘Bitty’ then too.”
‘[I don’t know really. ‘Bite Size’ was just part of the joke, but we just kept it up and since we all started training with her and we all started getting bigger, it dawned on me how little bitty she really is compared to us. So it’s something that I have just been thinking in my head, and it came out at that moment.”
He shrugged. “As much as I want to sit here and chill with you two, we actually can’t stay, the Alpha sent me to find you, Bitty. He wants to talk to you about something. Let’s go.”
He moves to get up and almost topples us again. “How do you manage to not look like an idiot getting in and out of this thing?” “Well, I am about the size Of your left leg, so there’s that. I’m also just better.”
I giggle at him, jumping off the hammock sending him and Sierra swinging the other way. She uses the momentum to jump to her feet and the whole thing spins and almost dumps him in the grass. I jump away before he can grab me, trying to think of something to distract him. “Wait what about Sierra, Luna Ava said not to be alone.”
“Never fear her wolf in shining armor is here!” Sam jumps out from the bushes, causing us all to laugh. “How long have you had that line in your pocket?” She scoffs at him. “Long enough fair maiden. Can I keep you company while you lay majestically in the hammock?” He clicks his heels together and bows deeply before grabbing her hand and kissing the back of her knuckles. “Of course, good sir.”
Sierra giggles. “Come on, let’s go before they start making out in front of us.”
Oliver puts his arm around me and leads me out of the little garden. “Hey! No on my hammock!! I shout over my shoulder only to hear laughter in response. And then Sam’s “I make no promises.”
faintly followed. Please remind me to sanitize that thing.”
I lookup at Oliver. “They are probably not the first to bang on the hammock, Bitty.”
He lifts and eyebrow at me. “Ugh! I know, but now the thought is in my head and that’s not an image I really want when I want to lay there to relax.”
