Rejection
The alarm rang continuously for the third time, waking Mina up. “Urgh", she shrugged, annoyed about being disturbed by her sleep. She glanced at the bedside and realized Alex was still sleeping with his hands wrapped around her waist. Gently removing his hands, she attempted to get up, only to be snuggled back into his chest. “I want to pee". Mina explained, trying to pry free his hands so she could be left free. “Five more minutes". Alex replied unperturbed. Not having any option,Mina glanced down at his hands still wrapped around her waist and smirked. She bent down and bit down hard on his hands, making Alex release her. She quickly stood up before Alex dragged her back down. “What was that for". Alex grimaced in pain looking at a giggling Mina. “Serves you right". Mina spoke through giggles, dashing into the washroom.
Successfully peeing, she tiptoed back into the room. “I can see you,no need to sneak into your own room". Alex spoke, halting her steps. Her room, she murmured. Soon she will not have the opportunity to sleep in the same bed as him. The earlier she acted distant the better. She ignored Alex's comment and walked into the closet looking for the outfit for the training sessions. Finding the right outfit, she rushed into the washroom and changed into the outfit. She walked out and noticed Alex standing there half naked in all his glory. She blushed and looked away. “You can watch for all you want. It's all yours babe". Alex winked at Mina when he caught her sneaking glances at him. “I wasn't looking at you". Mina pouted, walking towards the door.
“Where are you going with that outfit?". Alex asked when he glanced down at her, noticing the outfit was too short, especially the khaki shorts. “You better change that outfit or forget about wherever you are going. Your body is only for me to see". Alex spoke, grabbing her hands before it could reach the door knob. Mina huffed in annoyance and walked back into the closet to wear a new pair of trousers. “That's more like it". Alex smirked.
Mina bumped into Amya as soon as she closed the door. “What took you so long to dress up for the training sessions?". Amya asked. “Let's just say I woke up late and your annoying brother had a role to play in this". Mina smirked when she realized Amya had the wrong impression. “Not what you are thinking. You have evil thoughts". Mina smacked Amya's head. Amya huffed in annoyance and remained silent. “Who do we have here if not for our Luna". Mike spoke slightly, bowing down his head teasingly. Mina glared at him and took her stance. “Why has training not started?"Amya asked, glancing around looking for Noah. “Are you looking for someone or are you truly concerned about training". Mike smiled evilly. He knew that Amya had a thing for Noah,her actions even showed. “I'm not looking for anyone, I'm just surprised it hasn't started yet". Amya lied through gritted teeth. “Fine suit yourself, but as your cousin, I will tell you this,Noah has been sent on an errand by your brother, so I'm the one in charge of training sessions today. You had better prepare yourself well, I won't be easy on you". Mike spoke nonchalantly. Amya shrugged and took her stance. Mina stood there amused by the interactions between the two cousins, who were like fire and water, completely opposite in character. She sometimes wondered how they got along with each other. “Training will commence in the next ten minutes". Mike spoke.
A few minutes later, the pack members started gathering on the training field. Everyone was allowed to train so they could defend themselves when the need arose. Training wasn't gender biased in the Golden Moon Pack. Mike blew his whistle to get their attention. “I'm handling you all for training today.Beta Noah has been sent on an errand by Alpha Alex. Now let's start with warm ups". Mike's voice resonated. Mina glanced at Amya, who laughed at Mike's seriousness. “Let's proceed with 50 laps". Mike spoke, earning groans from the pack members. “The earlier you start the better". Mike smirked, ignoring the groans from the pack members. “You are no fun". Amya mouthed, “You love me cousin". Mike smiled.
After running 50 laps,a lot of the pack members were tired. “You don't need to succumb to weakness or laziness. We need to be prepared because war can break out anytime, either from rival packs or from rouges. Get up guys". Mike explained breaking no sweat after running 50 laps. Amya rushed to the side puking while Mina soothed her back. “You are wicked". Mina mouthed when she glanced at Mike. Her body was aching all over. Why did Mike look so indifferent? Was he made of iron? Mina thought. “Are you OK? Why don't you go back home and rest? You can join the training sessions tomorrow". Mina spoke, looking worriedly at Amya who fell flat on the floor after puking every content in her stomach. “I'm fine. I'm not gonna give Mike the opportunity to mock my Alpha genes, I will still fight". Amya spoke with determination, trying to stand up but failing miserably. “I think it's enough for the day,stop stressing yourself. You have worked out enough".
Mina spoke, helping her to her feet. Amya nodded while Mina assisted her back into the pack house. Once she made sure she was safe in her room, she ran back to the training field. “Why are you so hard on us today and why is Noah absent? Is there something you guys not telling us". Mina asked, making Mike chuckle. He dragged her from the training field and whispered. “We spotted a rouge on the southern border of the pack territory so we didn't need to lag around. The warrior in charge couldn't grab the rouge on time but it seemed he was a spy. Don't let Alex know I've told you something". Mike spoke in a rush. “I now understand. Let's get back to the training fields before the others think of something else". Mina spoke, affirming a nod from Noah. They walked back on to the field and training continued. They sparred with each other, getting to know the weak points and strengths of each person which would be useful in an attack.
After an hour of vigorous training,Mina walked back to the pack house with Mike following her closely. The aroma of bacon and waffles wafted into her nostrils once she stepped foot into the pack house. Walking further inside,Mina noticed the Omegas arranging breakfast on the table. “You did all this. Are we going to have a feast this morning?". Mina asked the senior omega in charge. “No my lady, the Alpha asked us to prepare this for you since it's your favorite. “Has everyone had breakfast". Mina asked, licking her lips to which her stomach replied with a growl. “They are yet to". The Omega spoke and excused herself.
