Mated to My Enemy novel Chapter 39

"Arron don't, he helped me," I said, holding my hand out in front of me.

He growled and ran behind a trash can. He came back with only a pair of jeans on. My eyes drifted to his abs and chest. So built and ho- Stop it Daphne! Focus!

"Daphne get away from him!" he growled.

I scowled. Who is he to tell me what to do?!

"No Arron, I didn't need your help, and I don't need it now," I said.

"Ohoho so that's what you call not needing help? You don't even know how to fight!" he laughed without humor.

"Yes so if you could please leave me alone." I said, with a final tone.

He scoffed and mumbled something under his breath. He turned on his heel and left.

I let out a breath and turned to look at Kyle who had been silent throughout all of this. He looked at me with pity but quickly masked it.

He smiled brightly and said, "You know, I could teach you how to fight. I'm sure Zander can help as well."

I thought about it for a second and decided that I would except since I was tied of being defenseless. I was doing this for myself and would be a good time filler.

"Ok, when do we start?" I asked him with a smile of my own.

"How bout now? Better sooner than later right?' he said already walking.

"Right," I said walking in step with him.

"Ok then, lets go to the King's hou- I mean Zander's house and start there," he said catching himself.

Daphne's POV

"Sir yes sir!" I shouted, saluting.

He gave me a pointed look to which I responded with a huge innocent grin.

"Again!" he said getting in a fighting stance as we trained for another hour.

After we were done, I headed home so that I could freshen up. I changed into some comfy clothes after taking my warm shower. I was just going to go downstairs to make some dinner for me and my dad, since he's going to be home in half an hour, when the doorbell rang. I went and opened the door to be surprised to see Ben and Luke.

"Oh hey guys, watcha doing here?" I asked them.

Their expressions were serious and not as playful as they usually are.

"We need to talk," they said in unison.

I would have awwed if they didn't look so serious. I stepped aside so that they could come in. They went to the couch and I asked them if they wanted anything to which they refused. I sat down across from them with my hands in my lap.
