Alpha Kian And His Captive Mate novel Chapter 37

He hurt me and then grounded me when I was this excited last time. I told myself the excitement this time was for the upcoming full moon and not for him.

Leaving a pair of clean clothes in the locker room, I ran to the training grounds. Guess I was too enthusiastic and early.

The trainer hadn't arrived, and it was just me and two other girls who were not my friends. They were Tiana's friends. I heard her talk to them about Kian and his dick quite a few times.

Anger bubbled within me when I remembered what he said about sleeping around, even after he found me. I had totally ignored Tiana and her loud bragging in the locker room two weeks back because I didn't believe her. But after Kian confessing to his whoring activities, I hated this Tiana and her loud mouth.

The trainer arrived while I was warming up and scoffed at my sight. She was the most muscled female I had ever seen. A gruesome scar ran down from her collarbone to the forearm.

"You have to be regular, can't show up whenever you want."

"It's not up to me. I was grounded like a teenager."

"Twenty laps."

"What?"

"Move it. Be back before the others arrive."

I glared at her and did as she said. The laps covered the grounds where the men were training. I smiled and jogged over to that side, straining my eyes to see if my mate was kicking some ass already.

Nope.

I continued with my run while Rachel and a few girls I knew were now out of the locker room.

"Want one?" Rachel waved a banana and an apple at me. "What are you getting punished for so early?"

"For being a human!"

I finished a few more laps and was close to the area outside the locker when my eyes fell on Tiana and her skimpy shorts. Her boobs were spilling out of her cropped tank top as she sniggered at my sweaty face.

I returned to Madison, and she nodded in satisfaction.

"Pair off!" She pointed to me to join Tiana, who was tying her shoelace while chatting with her friends about her night with Kian.

"Stop making shit up." I stood next to her and was ready to punch her in the name of training.

"I'm his favorite! Don't be a sour bitch if the Alpha isn't interested in you." I heard some silly laughter before her friends dispersed and she stared me down in spite. Too bad sparring only involved light blows.

God, I missed that husky voice. It sounded cold and angry right now. And sexy. Was he always so drop-dead hot?

I stood up in a daze, watching his tousled dark hair and piercing green eyes. Thick and powerful thighs, beautifully carved pecs showing through the tight black t-shirt. All my plans to ignore him flew out the window. Who was I kidding anyway?

He dragged a hand down his face, unwilling to talk to me when the trainer told him it was my fault. Walking over to me, he folded his arms over his chest. I couldn't tear my eyes from his body. Blame those sexy forearms!

"What the fuck were you thinking? Had a death wish? Want to go back to your room for another ten days."

"It's not entirely my fault."

The rest of the words got stuck in my throat when I looked into his eyes. He was struggling to stay in control. But first things first.

"Did you sleep with Tiana last night? She wouldn't stop talking about how big your dick is. Would you be okay if one of your men talk about my ass---."

"Pair off, everyone!" He sent the trainer out of the earshot and looked back at me. "Do you think this is some high school drama? Thirty laps."

I ignored his order and stared at his neck for any marks.
