Chapter 56
I was shattered but I was standing outside Alanna’s house for 8. 45am. I had chapped the door but no one had answered yet. Maybe she meant I was to be at her mom and dads house for 9? As I about turned to leave the front door opened.
“Morning princess”. He grinned. He was stood in a pair of shorts and nothing else holding what I assumed was coffee. I needed coffee.
“Joining in on the training session today?”. He asked moving to the side to let me in.
“That’s the plan”. Walking inside I took a seat in his kitchen. I loved the view he had from his back garden.
“Sure you’re up for it?”. He smirked placing a cup of coffee in front of me.
Shrugging my shoulders I took a sip of my coffee. “I’ll do as much as I can. Remember I have a broken hand p>
“Shouldn’t go around punching people in the face then”. He grinned.
Smirking I sunk my teeth into my bottom lip. “I wouldn’t have punched you in the face if you weren’t acting like such an a*s p>
“I deserved that”. He shrugged. “Finish your coffee we need to go p>
“Where’s Alanna?”. I was here to meet her not Jake.
“She’s meeting us there p>
I was way out of my depth and there was no way I could participate. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on. Visit to read the complete chapters for free. The training ground as they called it was massive. All locked in and secure. The amount of people here was making me feel uncomfortable. I thought this was a little training session with myself and Alanna.
“I’m-.. what even is this?”. I asked. I could feel the stares coming from everywhere.
“Scared princess?”. He smirked.
I didn’t find it funny one bit.
“Uncomfortable”. I couldn’t stop looking around myself. It was like half the town was here. A few faces I recognised right enough.
Jessica and Holly were here also.
“Babe you okay p>
“I’m I think I’m just going to go home”. I could always go a run by myself. I didn’t realise I was backing away until he grabbed hold of my good hand. “You don’t need to participate, you can just hang around p>
They were all in groups of 6. All doing different workouts, some doing self defence routines. I had never seen anything like it.
“My moms here if you want to sit with her?”. He asked.
“No it’s probably better if I go home and leave you to it p>
“Leah it’s nice to see you here honey”. His mom pulled me in for a hug. “Would you like some coffee?”. Guess I was staying then. “Sure”. I smiled.
I hated it.
I hated the way they were all hanging over him and I hated that he was allowing it. Some of these girls had no shame.
“I wouldn’t worry about that honey”. His mom interrupted my thoughts.
“Huh p>
She started laughing. “It’s normal to feel what you’re feeling Leah. You should have seen me with Jacob when we first started dating. I hated the way some of the girls looked at him or when they would find an excuse to touch him. Just laugh it off sweetheart because every girl here knows Jake is spoken for”. As she filled up my cup I frowned. We weren’t dating.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about”. I said sipping on my coffee.
“I’m sure you do Leah but even if you don’t you will soon”. Winking at me I made a face. Another person talking in riddle. It was like everyone knew except me and it was starting to annoy the life out of me. Not to mention I was starting to get pissed off. Why did Alanna invite me here if she knew I wouldn’t be able to participate? In fact why did I agree to come when I knew I wouldn’t be able to do anything?
“Come take a walk with me. I want to give you a little bit of advice”. His mom was lovely but I wasn’t in the mood.
“Sorry Charlotte but I think I’m just going to head home”. I felt so out of place. I wasn’t a part of this community. I felt so in the dark and I knew something was going on. Jake had a secret but it wasn’t a secret if everyone else knew. “Oh honey please don’t”. She begged.
“This”. I said waving my hand around. “Isn’t me and no one will tell me what I seem to be missing”. I hadn’t realised my voice was raised, didn’t realise I was catching the attention of others around me. “It’s not the right p>
“She should just leave already”. I didn’t need to turn to know Jessica was putting in her 2 cents. “She doesn’t belong here p>
Clenching my fist I bit my bottom lip hard. I had just about enough of her.
“Everyone back at it”. He growled. “No slacking or it’s morning runs for the next month p>
I was already walking out of there.
“Leah p>
“Just leave me be Jake please p>
“Babe come on don’t let her get to you”. Gripping my arm I pulled it back.
“Just leave me alone”. I whispered.
“No”. He growled as he pulled me to a halt. “You’re mine Leah Wilson. I’ve finally found you and if you think I’m going to let you go you’ve got another thing coming p>
“Then tell me what you’re hiding”. I yelled pushing on his chest. “Stop keeping me in the dark”. Again I pushed on his chest. I could see he was getting annoyed, angry even. “Leah”. He snapped but I was to far gone with rage.
“Come on Jake, tell me what the big secret is”. Pushing his shoulder he snarled his body shaking. Swallowing the lump in my throat I stood my ground.
He was glaring, still shaking with rage. He looked ready to snap.
“You’ve no f g idea princess p>
“Tell me”. I screamed but it was the biggest mistake of my life. Everything happened so fast and the last thing I remembered before I fainted was a gigantic black beast.
