The girls and I made it back to the pack house. We were all hanging outside with some of the pack kids. They were running around and I just couldn't resist their cuteness when they asked us to play with them.
"Tag, your it," a cute little girl came over to be and tapped me on the leg. It was kind of hard to chase them with their wolf, pup speed. I was actually starting to get tired.
"Don't stop now, Anne. You're gonna need the practice for when you have little Tarry's running around," I heard Hanna saying.
They've been teasing me since we left the cafe. I think they find joy in seeing my cheeks grow red.
"She can't even deny it, Hanna. Do you see her cheeks," Chris joins in.
"Would you guys shut up," I yell at them and I hear the little kids gasp in surprise.
"Apologize to her for saying a bad word," one of the little boys said.
"But she was being mean to me," I tell him pouting and he just glares back.
"Fine, Im sorry Chris."
"I'll forgive you after you promise to make me maid of honor. What's Mr.Tarry's last name?"
"Anne," I hear someone yell my name from inside the house and when I turn I see Alaric.
I totally forgot I was supposed to train him today. I tell the others bye and run over to him.
"Omg, I'm so sorry. I totally forgot about training today."
"Well, next time you want to play pretend and gossip about boys, tell me in advance that your not coming to training." I was caught off guard by Alaric's harsh tone. His face was stuck in a stone like position and his eyes were cold.
"Who pissed in your cheerios," I ask him.
"I just don't appreciate you saying your going to help me and then not showing up. Can we start now?" I ignore his bad attitude and walk into the house.
"Where are you going," he asked me.
"To the training room. Hurry up Mr.Moody."
We walk to the training room and I pick out a gun and toss it to him.
"We're not using knives today," He asks me, now confused.
"No. Your not good with knives, so maybe you'll be better with guns. Everyone has a different was of learning and different skills. I'm just trying to find yours." He nods his head in understanding.
"Let's start with non moving objects." I set up the area like it was the day I came shooting and stand next to him. "Do you remember the stance I showed you?" He doesn't bother talking. He just nods. He looks like he's holding his breath.
He gets into position and aims the gun. He seems to be trying to concentrate. When he takes the shot, it hits bullseye.
"Not bad. Not bad at all," I say with a smile on my face. "But let's take it up a notch." I put on the bullet protective vest.
"Woah. What the hell are you doing," he asks me as I go into the arena. I could see the worry on his face.
"Don't worry. I have magic. You need practice on a moving figure." When he takes his first shot, its no where near me.
"Don't be shy. Aim the gun at me." He sighs and takes aim again. I take off running inside the course and he starts shooting. One whizzes past my head and I duck away from the next one. I flip and roll on the ground to get away from some more, but after a while I get tired and a bullet goes through my leg.
"SHIT, THAT HURTS," I scream out. He comes running over to me while I heal my leg with a spell. I still pretend to be hurt when he gets closer.
"Are you ok? Shit! I knew this was a bad idea." He puts his gun down and tries to see how to help me. I kick his gun away and push him to the ground, getting on top of him.
"You let your guard down," I tell him, smiling.
"You can never let me win, can you?" I answer him by shaking my head no. He takes me by surprise and flips us over, so that he's on top. He holds both of my hands above my head.
"Well, I'm still mad at you, so your not winning today. You smell of human male," he says, scrunching up his nose as if I smell like old fish.
"He smelt pretty good to me." I see Alaric go through his pockets and pull something out. Before I can stop him, he spills it on me.
"My bad. Oh no, I got pen ink all over you. Now you have to go take a shower and get rid of the male stinch." He gets off of me and starts running to the training room door.
"Alaric, you asshole! This was a new outfit!"
"I'll buy you a new one, love," He yells out as he leaves me by myself in the training room.
That was a bit odd.
I decide to leave to go to my room and take a shower. After I was done I went looking for the girls. Chris room was empty, so I went to Hanna's room to see if maybe they were in there.
That was my biggest regret. Now I know to always knock.
I saw Hanna and Jaisley doing-
Ugh, I can't even say it. I'm going blind now.
How do they even do that?!?!
They didn't even stop when they saw me catch them.
I think I might throw up.
"I'm glad I found you Ms.Michael." I turned around and came face to face with Alpha Arsenio.
Great. What does he want now?
