The Rejected Daughter Of An Alpha novel Chapter 20

"Before we begin on our training, I'm giving you the option to ask me questions, because I know that trust isn't something given off the bat. I want to earn your respect so you can ask me any question while we wait for your peers. I will warn you though, I may give you a short answer." I say and almost immediately, hands go up all around the group. I choose one of the younger girls to go first.

"How old are you?" The 11 year old girl in pigtails asks.

"I am 7. I turn 8 in a month in a half." I say and point to one of the older boys.

"Have you found your mate?" The boy asks, waggling his eyebrows as if to insinuate that he could be my mate.

"Yes." I say and point to the next kid, not missing the look of disappointment on the previous boys face.

"Why haven't you..." He pauses for a moment and looks to the group of younger's before hesitantly continuing. "...finished the process?"

"I'm rather busy at the moment and I want to be able to give him my full attention. Hopefully things will smooth out soon and I will be able to." I explain and nod to a young boy who has hand up for a while.

"Why did you make them go change?" He asks urging his head like a confused puppy.

"The things they were wearing are not fit for what we're going to be doing today and it would inconvenient for them. It's better that they go change." I say and notice the last group of girls walking out, dressed much more sensible. "Alright, let's hop to it guys. First things first, 10 laps around the field. If you feel like it's hard to breath, you can sit down and get some water, I'll have the Beta bring out a jug, and take a minute breather and then get back to it. GO!" And so it begins.

After I get through the youngers, I go onto the more experienced people and our session is a little shorter than the others. My mom gets back in time to see the last session of the day and after I finish, we all go out to dinner, because Cassandra doesn't want to cook. Luckily, the place wasn't very fancy, because I refuse to wear a dress. Later that night, I stay with my mother in her room and we talk about what she learned about her father and brother today. She's very excited about everything and getting to meet the real them, but halfway through our conversation she stops and takes a shaky breathe.

"Speaking if kissing,-" he says turning to me so that he can see my face."- may I?"

"Of course." I say and our lips meet without second thought. And that was the perfect way to spend the night. Laughing and being with my mate.

Cassie's POV

One minute I was falling a sleep on my mate and the next I was in a grassy field with a gorgeous night sky above me. While it was absolutely magnificent, the voice that presented itself was much more heavenly.
