Alana novel Chapter 7

I woke up expecting to be greeted by annoying eyes but instead I'm disappointed with an empty bed.

Where is he?

Swinging my leg over, I open the door and pad slowly downstairs, and as soon as I enter the dining room I regret it.

Men. Everywhere.

They looked as if they were in a meeting but they didn't look like it.

Get it?

They were shirtless!

All of them.

Lord, what is this.

I was about to tiptoe back to the room when I bounced into a table, threw down a vase, broke a glass, stubbed my toe, and yelped in pain.

All eyes shifted to me and I laughed nervously while gripping my toes.

"Hi...everyone," I mutter and I catch Leo smiling softly at me, I glare at him in return.

Ugh.

"Good morning Luna." They answered.

"Take a seat," Leo tells me and I awkwardly walk in my little satin gown and take a seat next to a normal-looking male, I could practically feel Leo's glare. But it wasn't on me.

"Um...Luna-" He spoke up.

"Shh. He can't do anything." I told him. "I'm Alana."

"Tucker."

"Nice to meet you." I smile and he reluctantly smiles back.

"Alana," Leo calls out and my face falls.

"What do you want from me now?" I whine and he looks as if he is about to explode.

"I would appreciate it if you would sit next to me sweetie."

"I like it here," I tell him. "Now, what're we talking about?"

"Funny that you ask, your training starts today?"

My what?

"My what?"

"Training. I need to figure out your strengths and weaknesses since you are not a wolf."

"I'm gonna be fighting you?" I squeal excitedly.

Finally, I get to hit this boy into a coma.

"Now, I want you to focus. I won't take it easy on-"

I slowly get up and I could tell that there was grass in my nose.

Sniffing, I limp inside, suddenly disliking all the attention that was given to me.

"You did great today," Leo tells me once more as we lay in bed.

"As you said many times before."

"I know but, you're a human. I barely even saw you coming. You're like this little chihuahua."

"Gee, thanks," I mutter, laughing slightly.

It seems like it's only in the night that I can tolerate him. I know I have to start letting him in because if I choose to stay after the 30 days, I'll have to get mated to him but...   something is holding me back.

Slowly gliding his hand over my stomach he sighs.

"I really hope you let me in Alana."

He's in my head!

No, he's not you idiot. You're not a werewolf.

Oh... right.

When I was sure that he was asleep, I continue playing with his hair.

"I will."
