The Alpha's Rejected Silent Mate

Chapter 44

Kai’s POV

I’m watching the training ring and some of my warriors sparring, correcting their moves every so often. It’s boring and sometimes tedious, but I take pride in how good my warriors are, training some of them personally myself. An Alpha needs to keep himself in shape, you know.

“Watch your stance” I roared to one in particular, watching with approval as they immediately corrected themselves. They know better than to talk back to me or ignore my instructions.

I see something out of the corner of my eye and turn to see it’s none other than Winter. What’s she doing out here, I wondered to myself, feeling highly irritable. Omega’s hardly stepped foot outside, unless it’s for a good reason. | spot the water bottles and heave a sigh of relief. That’s why she’s come out then. Not because she’s seeking me out. pause to observe her for a moment. She looks so beautiful, even as pale and delicate looking as she is. I can’t help

but wonder what her wolf looks like and whether or not she knows how to fight. Well, there was an easy way to find

out. I decide, ignoring my wolf who’s protesting that this is a very, very, bad idea.

“I need someone to spar with Winter”, I asked the crowd, ignoring the pleading look in her eyes. This was for her own good, I tell myself. Esme volunteers to my relief and I order them both into the training ring, Winter looking very hesitant. Don’t tell me she doesn’t know how to fight at all? It’s clear when they go at it in human form, that Winter knows absolutely nothing when it comes to defending herself and I notice that she doesn’t go on the offensive at all. Clearly, she doesn’t like fighting.

I don’t like seeing our mate fighting. She’s going to get seriously hurt Kai, you should stop this. She’ll be fine Storm, she just needs more confidence.

I don’t think so, Kai. I really think you should stop this.

I’m not going to Storm, she can start training like everyone else.

I put up a barrier against my wolf and turned to view both of them. I want to see Winter’s wolf and how she

handles herself against another wolf. I stopped Esme and her from leaving.

“I want Winter to shift and dodge your attack, Esme” I say and Winter looks decidedly nervous. I felt a pang of sympathy towards her, but waved it away. Everyone should learn how to fight. This would be a good lesson for

her.
