Sabrina’s POV
My alarm went off at exactly 5am and I groaned in my head afraid to wake king Adrastos. I had just passed out from feeding him at 3am.
This was going to take some getting used to.
I got out of bed to shower away dried milk and sweat. Don’t want to put off anyone at training.
I decide to wear black ankle length Nike leggings with matching sports bra. I put on a loose shirt as my tummy hasn’t snapped back yet but I’m hoping with all the training, I’ll be good as new soon. I slip on my black Nike running shoes and style my hair in a very tight ponytail as I don’t want to be distracted on my first day.
I switch on the baby monitor and connect to my phone so I can record the day even though I’m not around. I will watch the feed later on in the day. Dorothy should be arriving at 5h50 so I have a few minutes to make my way to the training fields.
I hear a knock on the door at 5h45 and I rush to go open the door thinking Dorothy was early but as soon as I opened the door and met with a shirtless man, I knew that wasn’t my helper. I try to blink away the nasty thoughts in my head from seeing such nakedness so early in the morning but that didn’t work so I tried the next best thing, talking.
“Am I late?” I ask but he shakes his head no and walks right in to my apartment like he owns it, which he does technically but I live here.
“No. I just thought I’d check in with you, having a newborn and all. I have a younger sister and some cousins; I know how new mothers appreciate their sleep but it seems like you’re coping just fine.” Xander says as checks me out.
“Oh, I’m struggling but I was not about to disappoint the alpha on the first day of training. I can slack off in a week or two.” I say jokingly.
Well to be honest, I could pass out any minute.
He chuckles at my joke and I mentally swoon at the sound, imagining a very naked alpha in my bed laughing at my jokes.
My thoughts are interrupted when Dorothy enters my apartment and Xander pulls her in for a hug. Whoa, messed up. Miss me with that.
“Ah I see you managed to steal away the one lady that can shout at me and live to see the next day.” He says and I just shrug. I was not about to tell him how Dorothy came to work for me and besides, I was still trying to maintain eye contact with a shirtless alpha. Talk about hard!
“You know Sabrina, this lady here raised me so your son is in good hands.” He says and I see the sincerity in his eyes. This man loved Dorothy like a mother but I hope after hearing her side of the story he doesn’t take her back. I need her now.
“Oh, you don’t have to convince me. She sold that story to me yesterday. How could I not hire her?” I ask playfully. Dorothy laughs at my comment.
“Out you two.” Dorothy tries to push us out of the house. “Don’t want Sabrina late on her first day.” She says as she points at her phone which showed the time. 5h55??? oh no.
I pulled Xander by hand out the door and down the stairs as he laughs at my actions. I stop at the bottom of the stairs and look at him.
“You do know I’m the alpha right?” He asks me. Well duh!
“No, I had no idea.” I say rolling my eyes and grabbing the door handle so we can go outside but Xander let’s out a growl and puts his hand on the door, pushing it shut.
“Don’t ever roll your eyes at me.” He says in a low but warning tone. It should’ve scared me but I was beyond turned on.
“Sorry. I’m just new here and I have no ranking. Naturally I should be an omega but I’m living on the floor right under the alpha. Your she wolves won’t like that and I’m not trying to give them more reason to hate me.” I say and he smiles.
Oh, how will I survive training…
“Don’t worry. They’d be stupid to take you on.” He says stepping back to allow me to open the door.
“I can handle that. I just want to be able to make friends without them thinking I’m your latest conquest and I’m abusing your alpha power.” I say in all honesty. Xander laughs out loud as we walk to the training field.
He pulls me in for a hug and licks my ear.
“Now that will give them something to talk about.” He says and I groan loudly.
“Eeuw why’d you do that? Now I smell like you!” I speak.
Although to be honest, He could’ve at least licked my neck or lower. I get tingles all over my body at the thought.
“That’s the plan Sabrina. Let’s see what happens now.” He says to me as we get to the training field and there’s groups of people looking at us but more especially, me.
Oh goddess.
Mental face palm.
Dig up a hole.
Gladly jump in.
“Good morning pack. Sorry I’m a little late.” He says then winks at me. I look away quickly but clearly not quick enough as a blonde girl standing in front of me scowls in me.
“This is Sabrina. She’s a new pack member so I expect you all to be friendly and welcoming. Now let’s get to training. Sabrina, I’d like for you to take on my strongest she wolfs, Jade so we can see how you do.” He says and the blonde girl steps forward smirking at me.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Girls always underestimate me and miss Jade was doing the same thing. She was also on the skinny side though so she shouldn’t be so cocky.
I step forward as well and look straight in time Jade’s blue eyes. She was a beautiful girl, I won’t lie.
“Alright ladies, we fight at full power. No holding back. The first one to keep the other opponent down for longer than 10 seconds wins.” Xander says and Jade takes a defensive stance but still maintains eye contact with me.
She lets her power out and I was disappointed. She wasn’t even of beta strength. What did Xander hope to achieve here?
I don’t let my power out. I could take her on still masking it. I also take a defensive stance waiting for Xander to give us the go. Everyone else stands back to watch as Xander moves away to give us space to fight.
“Fight!” Xander shouts out and Jade jumps at me. First mistake.
I dodge her as she sprints past me but quickly turn around and I use my one hand to pull her by the neck and raise her up and pull her down. I keep my hand around her neck to keep her on the ground as Lucas starts to count.
He counts to 10 and I let go. I stand up straighter and turn to Xander, raising my eyebrows at him.
Jade gets up with a huff and sends daggers my way. I turn back to look at Xander hoping he’d give me a stronger Male opponent because biologically, they are stronger.
“It looks like Sabrina won that round way too easily. Jade, that was seriously disappointing and Sabrina, I thought I said you fight at full power.” He says and I shrug.
“Sorry alpha but it wouldn’t be fair if I fought at full power. Had you given me a stronger opponent, maybe I would’ve released my wolf power.” I say and Jade scoffs.
“I’m the strongest she wolfs here new girl.” She says and I roll my eyes.
“I think that title belongs to me now.” I say back to her and she growls at me.
“I demand a rematch. In wolf form.” She says and I cackle at that.
‘Bitch wants to meet, let me have this one please.’ Athena says to me in my head.
“We can do this all day. You can shift in to your wolf while I stay human and I’ll still defeat you. I am born of higher ranking. You’re no match for me.” I say and she smirks at me.
“Let’s give it a try then.” She says as she shifts in to her wolf, shredding her clothes in the process.
A light brown wolf jumps to attack me but I dodge her attack as I let my claws out and sink them in to her flesh on the side and pull out a little chunk of meat. She howls in pain but turns around to come at me. I run to her too and she opens her wide wolf mouth to try bite my head off but I anticipate her move and hold her mouth apart before throwing her against a tree.
She lets out a quick howl when her body crashes in to the tree but quickly recovers and tries to stand. I let out a little bit of my power to force her in to submission. At first, I thought she would as she freezes in place when she feels it and loud gasps can be heard around the training field but she shakes her head and starts to run at me again.
This girl was a fighter, I’ll give her that.
I’ll give her an A for effort.
I run to her too and she jumps in the air to try bite my head off again but I drop to the ground and slide a little as I let my claws out and claw at her chest. She falls to the ground in front of me and I get up.
I walk up to her as she growls at me. Her body was beginning to heal so I let it and walked away from her. She took this as an opportunity to try sneak attack me but Athena also anticipated that move as Jade jumped in for an attack but I quickly dodged it.
“ENOUGH!” Xander said using his alpha tone. Jade froze and I looked up at him.
“Jade, you’ve embarrassed yourself enough. Everyone, choose a partner and start sparing. Sabrina, take 5.” Xander said and I took the chance to go stretch out since I wasn’t even given the chance to stretch my limbs.
Jade fell to the ground as she tried to lick her wounds. As soon as she was half healed, she shifted back and walked back to the pack house. As I watched Jade disappear, a girl with jet black hair walked up to me and handed me a bottle of water. I took it from her.
“You certainly got her walking with her tail between her legs.” She says as she laughs at Jade’s retreating figure.
“I take it you’re not a fan?” I ask and she nods enthusiastically.
“No. She’s not really a favorite and since she started dating the alpha, she’s been mean and too cocky.” Jet black hair said to me.
“I’m Sabrina.” I say extending my hand to her.
“Oh, I’m sorry. My name is Myrtle. I am Jade’s stepsister.” She says to me.
“Whoa family drama? Now I’m intrigued.” I say and she chuckles.
“Oh, just your basic Cinderella story. My father marries her mother after their mates were killed during a rogue attack. We were close at first until she started dating the alpha.” Myrtle says to me.
“Why would the alpha have me humiliate his mate like that?” I ask and Myrtle laughs at me.
“Oh, they are definitely not mates. The alpha’s mate was killed 2 years ago when rogues first attacked the pack. He was only 16. I think she believes he will make her his Luna and chosen mate.” She speaks.
“Well, if that’s what they both want.” I speak. I know one can find happiness with a chosen mate.
“I’m not so sure the alpha wants to take a Luna at all. He reeks of a new girl every other day.” She says and her eyes bulge out as she notices her slip of a tongue as I reek of Xander right now.
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean… I am… Oh my gosh!” Myrtle stumbles on her words.
I laugh at her humiliation.
“Oh, it’s quite alright. I’m not with Xander.” I say and she looks at me then back at him and at me again.
“His scent.” She speaks.
“He did it on purpose. Now I know he just wanted to get a reaction out of Jade, putting me on her shit list.” I say and Myrtle rolls her eyes as she lightly chuckles.
“Well, at least we know she won’t fight you over him.” She jokes. I laugh with her and Xander spares a look our way.
He stops fighting and starts to walk our way.
