Chapter 0199

I’m excited about training. It’s been years since I trained with my father and I was getting really strong then.

‘We’ll get stronger much faster with Clint as our instructor.‘ Alessia says.

‘Do you remember training with him, or remember Andra training with him?‘ I ask.

‘Yes, he was patient but tough. Andra was a stronger wolf because of Clint and Donovan.‘

I’m lost in my thoughts when Liam speaks. “A penny for your thoughts.”

I smile at him. “Do you actually have a penny?” I ask.

He digs around in his pockets, then begins searching his car, finally coming up with a quarter. “Hey, hey! I should get twenty–five thoughts for this.” I’m laughing, watching his antics.

I take the quarter and set it back into the truck’s console. “I was talking to Alessia about training with Clint and Donovan. She remembers Andra’s training and says he is a good and patient trainer.”

“I had the opportunity to train with him once. He’s a clever fighter. He will teach you a lot of things that will make you a stronger, smarter fighter.” He looks at me, reaching over and taking my hand again before looking back out to the road. “I’d like to train you too when you’re stronger. Maybe you could train with me in the afternoons and Clint and Cara in the mornings?” He asks me.

“You want to train me too?”

“Yes. It’s not that I don’t trust Clint and his ability. I absolutely do. But different people have different styles of fighting and sparring. It will only enhance your training. And if I’m being honest, when you’re up to full strength, it will be good. for my warriors to spar with you too. You will make them better fighters as well.”

“Okay.” I say and he kisses my hand. I’m starting to realize that he kisses my hand when he’s happy, when he’s worried about me or just as the desire hits.

When we arrive back at the packhouse, I know he needs to work, so I tell him I can get back to my room on my own. He insists on walking me up anyway. You’ve had a rough evening. Why don’t you take a hot bath, relax and then get some sleep. I’ll be up later and will check on you.” He reaches down and gently kisses me.

I reach my hands up, placing them on either side of his face, holding him in place. I pull back and look at him. “Thank you, for being there for me tonight. It means

a lot to me.

“Any time, beautiful.”

When he leaves, I take his advice and slide into a hot bath. The night has

been difficult. So many memories; hard, horrible memories that I didn’t want to relive. I know my dreams will be full of nightmares tonight.

When the water runs cold, I get out and put on one of Liam’s shirts that he gave me to sleep in. The scent of him on the shirt may help, but I’m hoping that maybe he would be willing to lay with me again tonight. He or Cyran have the last two nights after I had a nightmare, so maybe he will again.

I open my door and see that his is open as well. I walk over and gently knock, looking around. I don’t see him, so I step inside. “Liam?”

He walks out of the bathroom, the steam swirling around him as he opens the door. He’s wearing a towel that is hanging low on his hips and gives me a perfect view of his washboard abs. My mouth suddenly feels very dry. He’s rubbing a

towel over his hair, so it takes him a minute to see me.

“Angel? Are you okay? Did you have a nightmare?”
