Alessia’s POV
I’m waken up by bright lights streaming in through the blinds. I squint my eyes open, wondering why I
left the blinds open. I always make sure to close them every night before going to bed. Did I forget to
do thatst night?
I sit upright on the bed and that is when I notice that the king-sized bed with grey duvet isn’t the o
queen- sized bed that I’m used to. That’s when everything starts rushing in. Along with the memory
comes the realization that I’m the only one present in the room. Caden isn’t anywhere around the
premises of his
room.
Did he leave me alone in his bed? Anger follows the crushing embarrassment that builds in my the two
of them sink deeper into my stomach.
chest and
If he was going to abandon me the next morning then what was all those talks about me being his and
his alone?
I fall back onto the bed, blinking away the tears trying to fall from my eyes. Caden doesn’t deserve
those tears. I wipe my eyes with the back of my palm and stand up from the bed to search for my
clothes.
Finding them neatly folded on a chair somehow seems more embarrassing than finding them in a heap
on the floor. It looks like I’m seeing the evidence of my s lu t i n e s s through Caden’s eyes. I quickly
pull them on and move for the door, cranking it open with just enough space to peep out into the
hallway to see if anyone is passing through.
Finding the hallway empty, I quickly walk out of Caden’s room and rush down the stairs to mine. Doing
the walk of shame drains a lot out of me and I couldn’t have been more grateful by the time I see the
door
to my room.
I quickly open the door and slide in before anyone can see me. I get to my room undetected but the
fact that everyone already seems to be at the pack house probably yed a role in that.
That angeres back hotter this time. I can’t believe he didn’t f u c ki n g wake me up. Did he think
he was doing me a favor by letting me sleep in his bed like a baby while he went to the training
grounds?
I don’t care if my anger is unwarranted. All I know is that I’m going to make Caden pay for this when
next 1y my eyes on him.
Stripping out of my yesterday’s outfit, I jump into the shower and washst night’s event away from my
body and down the drain.
Once I’m cleaned up, I jump right out and hurriedly change into some workout clothes then I rush out of
the pack house in the direction of the training grounds.
On walking in, I see that everyone is already immersed in their workout routine and no one pays
attention. to my entry. That may be due to the fact that Julianna isn’t anywhere to be seen. Thank the
Moon goddess for small miracles. I couldn’t have dealt with another confrontation.

Chapter 33
Caden is sparing with Alex in one corner and Raphael is acting as some sort of referee.
Throwing a re at him, 1 head over to a free space and do my warm-ups. Then I move over to a
punching bag and start my own workout routine consisting of fifty punches.
Afterward. I head over to the barbells and do my normal rounds. Panting, I look around the training
ground not knowing what else to do.
Now is the time that I would usually start my sparing session with Caden but there’s absolutely no way
that I’m going to go to him and ask for his help. Not when I’m still seething mad at him.
A tapnds on my shoulder. “Need some help there?”
I flip around to find Jake standing beside me with a smile on his face which I return. Ever since the
bonfire, Jake and I have stop spending so much time with each other. It didn’t seem like it would be fair
to keep being all over him when I knew how he felt for me. And I know I can’t reciprocate the same
feelings for him.
“Yes” I sigh. “I need a sparring partner.” I look over at Caden who’s upied with some group o
“Do you want to spar with me?” He asks, shrugging like it’s no big deal.
of boys.
I’ve never sparred with anyone other than Caden and Raphael that one time when Caden was too busy
being petty. It would be nice to have another opponent and maybe learn some new techniques.
“Ok.” I nod, epting his offer.
Jake smiles brightly like I’m the one doing him a favor and not the other way around.
We move over to a space in the middle of the room, wide enough so that we don’t cause causalities in
the process of our fighting.
open space
We circle each other, looking for an opening in the other’s defense. I find one in the form of an open
between his shoulder and neck. A ce that he was foolishly keeping open.
I take the opportunity, to throw a punch with the target in mind. Out of nowhere, he steps to the side
and closes a hand around my fist which he twists to my back.
I gasped as pain shot up my arm, nearly bringing me to my knees. The pain intensifies as he puts more
pressure on his grip, enough to make me let out a little cry.

“Did you really think that it was going to be that easy to fool me?” Jake whispers in my ear.
I
open my mouth to answer his smart a s s with a sarcastic response but I’m cut off by a loud thundering
voice.
“Get your hands off my f u c k i n g mate!” Caden yells, stalking over to us with murder in his eyes.
Wait. Did he just refer to me as his mate? Does he realizes what he just f u k i n g did?

Every body in the training grounds has their gaze on my mate as he rushes over to my side. And
everyone has different degree of shock on their faces.
We’re so f u c k e d.
