After arriving back from Myles’s, I spoke with the guys for around an hour going over plans before heading to bed. I used to find it difficult falling to sleep in unknown places, but now with the amount of packs I’ve stayed at for long periods of time, it doesn’t faze me anymore.

I walk down the stairs after getting ready, to see Chase and Aston having an arm wrestle, there is always some kind of competition going on with those two. With a shake of the head, I reach the button step where Alfie walks by holding a cup of drink.

“The Alpha sent some pack members around with food and drinks, apparently, the pack members are so grateful that we’ve came here to help they all rallied together and put a food basket together” he says with a smile, that has to be one of the nicest things any pack has done for us.

“That’s so nice of them” I smile walking towards the kitchen where a bunch of food was laid out on the counter, a card sat in the middle with thank you on it.

“Just imagine what we’ll get when we leave” Rich sleepily says into my ear, this does successfully cause me to jump and turn to look at him.

He and Jeff stood behind me, Jeff looking as though he wanted to fall to sleep in any moment. They must have just got back from guarding the perimeter, Jeff walks away and falls backwards on the sofa laying down.

“How did the talk with the Alpha go last night?” Rich asks me snatching a cup of coffee Aston walked by with, he curses a little throwing his arms in the air but does turn around to make another.

“It went as good as expected, we spoke for a couple a minutes and he gave me a list of pack members he suspects the spy to be” I explain with a little smile before looking away, I intentionally leaving the tiny part of us nearly kissing out. “He also gave me the list of pack members he thinks will make good fighters, which means we’re running ahead of schedule” I smile taking the cup of coffee that Aston just made, he looks so distraught staring back at me. I laugh as he turns around to make another, everyone knows Aston makes the best coffee!

“After I finish drinking this, I’ll head down with you to help the fighters” Rich tells me beginning to down his coffee, but I take his arm and pull it back down, more worried he was going to burn his mouth with how fast he was drinking.

“You and Jeff have been awake all night keeping the pack safe, you’re going to get some rest and after a few hours you can come and help” I tell him where he immediately, shakes his head at me trying to drink more of the coffee.

“I’ll be alright” he says walking passed me to dump his now empty cup in the sink, but I walk in front of him with my arms crossed.

“Chase will be leading the training as that’s what he does, you can come when we need you teach them how to properly guard the pack. You’ll be no help to us if you’re tired” I say holding him by the arm so he doesn’t walk off, Chase walks down the stairs with a clipboard sending me a smile, wasn’t he just downstairs arm wrestling with Aston?

“We’ve got this Rich, get some rest” he smiles before walking towards the bags by the front to check we have everything, I turn back to Rich who I knew wanted to agree but the other part of him didn’t.

“Okay fine, but I’ll be there within a few hours” he tells me with a pointed look, well at least his body would be getting some rest at least.

Aston walks out of the kitchen with his third cup of coffee, everyone just looks at each other with a smirk. We all knew what each of us wanted to happen, but who was going to do it?

“Oh no! This is mine!” Aston shouts where he proceeds to down the whole cup, which might I add was boiling hot! “Ow! My insides are on fire!” He groans dropping the cup onto the floor, lucky the thing didn’t smash as it went.

“I’m glad I’ll be gone all day, I don’t have to deal with those guys” Chase says with the roll of his eyes, I laugh picking up my things to join him.

“I want all of you guys to get on with work while I’m out, I’ve sent you all lists of I want done!” I shout as Chase opens the door and I follow him out, where a series of yes bosses fill the air.

We were soon walking into the new training grounds of the pack, the one they had before was really outdated and falling apart. I informed my father of this who sent some agents over to build a brand new one, all done in one night so we can use it today. Chase dumps the bags on the floor looking around, while out from the side of the field walks a bunch of men who I’m guessing are the fighters. They look around amazed at the new place to train, while leading up the rear was Myles. We soon make eye contact where I send him a kind smile, I didn’t want things to be awkward between us due to what nearly happened last night.

“I want three single file lines!” Chase shouts towards the men who begin to file into the lines, but were taking longer than usual. “I’ve seen little five year olds get in single file lines faster than you, hurry up why is it taking so long?!” He shouts even louder which does make the men get their butts in gear, after a few short seconds they were stood in the three lines Chase suggested.

Myles walks in front of them to stand beside me, his Beta Adam stood beside him. As soon as Myles stood beside me, the magnet pull I was feeling last night makes a reappearance. I can’t let him put me off from my job, I was sent to this pack to help it, not get distracted.

“I warmed them up for you boss” Chase smiles down to me before placing his hands behind his back, his warming them up is actually scaring the poop outta them.

“Good morning, I think it’s clear to all of you why you have been called here today. Last night, the head of W.P.A sent some men to fix this place up. This is your new training ground, when you’re off of work and want to hone your skills, you can come here” I smile looking around at them all, their faces seem to light up at that comment. “Yesterday, we started to train slightly just to see where you guys were, I don’t wish to offend you when I say you guys are terrible” I tell them point blank, beating around the bush isn’t going to help these guys.

“Which means we’re going to have to take you back to the basics, Chase over here will ensure you reach that point, any questions?” I ask placing my hands behind my back as they look over at each other, this was the biggest problem sticking out to me.

“It’s clear the first issue we need to work on here is team work, just by the way you’re standing is proving you don’t have each other’s backs” Chase shouts picking up on exactly on what I did, Myles walks forward standing in front of us slightly.

“For this pack to get better and to reach where we need to be, you all need to listen to what these agents are telling you. That is why, I order you to obey their every word, if you do not I’m giving them permission to force you anyway they they see fit” Myles says in his Alpha tone, which was a rather sexy voice in my opinion, okay Alaia what the fuck?

They all bow their heads at him before he takes a step back, he turns his head to look at me where I send him a smile. Chase laughs slightly sending me a smile as he went, he didn’t need to be told twice that he could use any force necessary. I send him a look, yes it’s good that we have that kind of permission from Myles, but in moderation.

“Alright, let’s get to work!” Chase shouts moving forward to some rather nervous men, I don’t know why they look nervous, it hasn’t even begun yet. “Here are some ground rules I’m setting, you listen and follow every order Miss Buckwood or I give you. If one of you do not follow the order correctly, you will all go through a punishment as a team!” Chase shouts walking down the middle of each line, he’s doing this to assert his dominance over the men, overtime this will get to their wolves as they see us as humans, that is exactly what we want to happen.

“Why do we all have to pay if only one of us messes up?” One guy at the front asks, all eyes turn to him as Chase moves down the line to stand right in this guys face.

“Because you are a team, which means you act as one unit.” Chase shouts in this dudes face, I look to Myles hoping he wouldn’t get annoyed of the way in which we’re treating one of his men, but he didn’t seem to care. “After a few punishments you all will face, none of you will want another person to mess up, by the end you’ll be supporting each other so you do not have to receive a punishment. But do you want to know what you just did, you disobeyed my order. I did not ask if you had a question or told you that you could speak, 1000 push-ups for all of you now!” Chase shouts moving away to look at all the men, who begin to stare at each other but didn’t move. “DID I STUTTER?!” Chase shouts so loud but that does case the men to drop to the floor and start doing push-ups.

“I hope you don’t mind me using your technique boss?” Chase asks turning to me, I smile shaking my head a little as I spoke.

“Of course not, I’m glad you were able to learn from that punishment” I smile where he bows slightly, the Beta walks forward to stand beside Chase, who both walk away slightly looking over the men.

Myles and I stand in silence for a few moments, this was the first time we’ve been alone since what happened last night. I know to most of you, it probably wasn’t a big deal as nothing really happened. But I’m on the job, if somebody like my father found out that happened, I don’t know what would happen.

“I want to thank you for gifting us this incredible training grounds” Myles says breaking the silence we had going on, I shake my head with a little smile.

“You do not have to thank us, we came here to help your pack to be the best it can be, having a suitable training grounds will help the process” I smile not looking over at him as I spoke, my eyes remained on the men in front who reached their 200th push-up.

“I was a little unsure when I first contacted you, but now I can see all the good things you are doing, I’m very thankful that I did” he smiles taking a side step so he was even closer to me, our hands were nearly touching.

“This is only day one, there is so much more we will achieve here. Your pack will be one of the best by the time we leave” I smile turning my head to finally look at him, he had the biggest smile on his face as he stared right back at me, our faces were now inches from each other.

“Well I hope it takes sometime, I don’t think I’m ready to send you away just yet” he says looking me in the eyes as he went, I get lost in his eyes once more before Chase’s loud voice snaps me back to reality.

“You call that a push-up! 500 MORE PUSH-UPS FOR ALL OF YOU!” He shouts where a series of groans fill the air, but no one protests and gets on with their push-ups.

I look away from Myles and back to the men in front. I couldn’t have known at the time how serious Myles was about not letting me go.
