Chapter 6

Danny’s POV
“You wanted to see me, sweetheart?” Alpha Henry says to Claudia, coming into the room. “We are still waiting for Doctor Elliot; but we can talk to you first. Danny would like to start training” she informs him. “I see. And is there a reason why, he would like to start?” he asks. “Now I have a mate, I would like to be able to protect her” I answer him.
He looks into my eyes; I know he is trying to work out if I am telling the truth. “You know about Amanda?” he asks; but it was more of a statement. “I told him about the kidnapping, Dad. He figured the rest for himself. Goddess Selene told him; I was one of her chosen” she explains. “I need to learn how to protect her; now” I demand; he was taken aback a bit by my insistency.
“You are an Alpha’s son” Doctor Elliot says coming into the room. “I can feel your aura out in the hall. What is going on, Danny?” he adds. “I want to know if I can start training?” I ask, calming myself down. “I can start him on light training, if you will permit it” Alpha Henry includes.
“He only left his bed this morning. I would prefer if you can wait another few weeks before training starts” Doctor Elliot answers. “No; now. I want to start now. I can handle it” I shout at the pair. “George, I will ensure its light training. You can’t stop an Alpha who wants to protect his mate” Alpha Henry tells Doctor Elliot. “I will allow it. If you feel lightheaded; I want you to stop. And keep your fluids up throughout” he states. “I’m coming too; I’ll make sure he doesn’t overdo it” Claudia announces.
“And you are to stay here. I want to monitor you so you don’t, overdo it” Dr Elliot adds. I nod my head and smile at Claudia.
“Are you ready, son?” Henry asks me. “Yes” I answer. “Let’s get going then.”
Claudia grabs my hand and we head out of the hospital and into a training compound. Alpha Henry hands me a skipping rope. “I want you to do a warm up with the skipping rope. Do you know how to use it?” he asks me. “Not really. I saw some young she-pups using one” I answer. Claudia fetches a second rope and stands next to me. “This is how you use it” she says, holding each end in her hands and spins the rope in circles around her, jumping over it when it gets to her feet.
“Doesn’t look too hard” I tell them; “start off slow” Alpha Henry says. Surprisingly it was a bit harder than originally thought; I never done it before and trying to coordinate when to leap; I would get the rope caught between my legs. I eventually worked it out and Alpha Henry asked me to do 20 jumps to begin with.
From there; he got me to do 20 push ups and 20 sit ups. “What’s next?” I ask him. “I want you to have some water” Claudia says. I drink down the water and look at Alpha Henry. He pulls out some impact punching mitts. “I want you to punch into these. Put your hands up ready to punch at me” he says. I take a stance like he showed me; doing a right punch; then left. “I want thirty of them” he says to me.
I punched, left then right; “legs apart; bend your knees and use your body into the punches” he says. I punch again; doing what he says. “Better. Keep going” he encourages. I finish the 30 and bend over from the stitch in my side; breathing heavily. “Are you ok?” Claudia calls to me. I take in a few breaths “Yes; I have a stitch” I tell her. “Stand up and walk it out” Alpha Henry says as Claudia comes over with more water.
“That’s enough for today” Alpha Henry says. “No; I can keep going” I tell him. “I believe you; however, your body is still recovering. We can do another lot of training tomorrow; after you and Claudia see Doctor Drury. Claudia, can you show him how to stretch to warm down” he responds.
Claudia shows me how to stretch; she places her right arm in front of her and pushes her triceps across her body. I follow her actions. She moves the arm behind her head and does the same thing with her elbow. She then changes to the left arm and I follow her. She sits on the ground and places one leg over the other and pushes down on her knee.
Once we do the other leg, she grins and pushes me backwards, landing on top of me, kissing me. Electricity goes through my body as I wrap my arms around her and kiss her back. “You are determined to get me in a compromising position” I laugh at her. She giggles at me, “we should get you back.”
I help her off the ground and wrap my arms around her; “after I do this” I tell her, kissing her again. She giggles again, as Alpha Henry comes over to us; “there will be plenty of time for that too. You need to get back to the hospital” he says; smiling at us.
I blush and grab hold of Claudia’s hand, as we all walk back to the hospital. “My stomach, arms and legs are a bit sore” I tell them. “That’s your muscles; they aren’t use to getting a workout” Alpha Henry informs me. “The more training you do, the less your muscles will be sore” Claudia includes.
“I’m proud of what you achieved today, son” Henry says to me, reaching the hospital doors. “Thank you” I blush, shuffling in through the door. Claudia smiles at me; “you must be hungry” she says to me. “Not as much as I thought I would be” I tell her, smiling. “I had Omega Joslyn, bring your sandwiches down now” she frowns, seeing the sandwiches when we entered the hospital room.
I take a bite of the first sandwich and realise how hungry, I really was. I finish the plate and tell her; “I’m hungrier than I thought, I could go for some more.” She smiles; “I thought so; I’ll get her to bring some more down” she says as her eyes glaze over.
“I should get back. I will see you tomorrow” Alpha Henry says moving his way out the door. “Dad doesn’t give compliments often, you should be proud of yourself” Claudia tells me, smiling. I blush again. “Are you not proud of yourself? I am proud of you” she includes frowning. “I am, I’m not used to other people being proud of me” I explain; she frowns even more. “I know Goddess Selene said we shouldn’t get revenge; maybe we can get revenge another way.”
“How?” I ask, watching her frown turn into a grin. “By training and becoming stronger than they are.” “I can do that” I grin along with her. “I should let you rest” she says giving me a kiss. “Do you have to leave?” I ask her. “I don’t want to, but I promised Dad, I would help him this afternoon with some paperwork” she tells me. I drop my head “Ok, I will see you later then” I tell her. She pulls my head up and looks in my eyes. “I will see you later” she answers giving me another kiss.
……….
Claudia’s POV
I know Doctor Drury said I will need to take things slow with Danny; but every time we kiss; I get wet between the legs; I want to take him and mate with him. I get up to Dad’s office and knock on the door. “Come in, Claudia” he calls out. I walk in through the door and sit down on the sofa. “What’s the matter, sweetheart?” Dad asks me, looking up from the paperwork he was working on.
“I know Danny has been through a lot and I know he wants to be with me. I don’t know if I can take it slow like Bella wants me to” I tell him. “He has been through a lot; but how he was today, I don’t think he is as naive as Isabella thinks he is. I believe he understands more than we know” he encourages.
I smile at him; “Do you mind, I told him about the kidnapping? We were going to tell him about it tomorrow with Isabella anyway” I ask him. He lets out a sigh “I was hoping to wait. However, following on what I said before, he understands more than we know and he showed that today when he was determined to train, even though he isn’t ready; so, he can protect you and Amanda. I wasn’t sure, because he still is James’ son. After spending time with him today, he has shown me otherwise” he answers and I smile at him again.
“What does the Goddess say about it?” Dad asks me, “Mandy said, Goddess told her; there was a mate who has a pure heart. I knew Danny was the person she was speaking about when we saw him chained to the wall of the River Clan’s pack house. I was going to help him escape, if he hadn’t walked in and grabbed the knife” I inform him.
“I think he will make a great leader, alongside yourself; as Alpha” he smiles at me. “We need to get the paperwork in order for him to join the pack and do an official name change” he adds. “I think we should ask him before we proceed” I tell him. “I agree” he replies.
“We can ask him tomorrow; when we talk with Bella” “I was thinking the same, sweetheart” Dad answers. I give him a kiss on his cheek; “I will see you in the morning” I tell him. “Good night, sweetheart” he smiles, as I walk out of the office.
I start heading to my room and change my mind half-way and head outside to the hospital. I want to see Danny. I head into his room; he’s asleep. Training must have been hard on him. I give him a kiss and start to walk out the door. “Hey!” he says stirring. “I didn’t mean to wake you; I wanted to see you before I went to bed” I tell him.
“I’m glad you came by, I wanted to talk to you” he says to me. “What about?” I ask him. He opens the blanket and pats the bed “Come here” he smiles. I walk over and hop in the bed beside him. He puts his arms around me as he kisses me on the cheek. “I want to ask you about sex” he says. “I’m not a virgin, if that is what you are going to ask” I answer him and he blushes; “I am.”
“You want me to help you, with having sex?” I ask him. “Ahh, y-yes” he stammers. I smile at him, “I can do that, but not here” I inform him. “I wasn’t thinking here” he says, going a deeper shade of red. I laugh, putting my arms around his waist. “When you are discharged, I will help you with sex.”
He smiles and cuddles into me. We both drift off to sleep, arms around each other.
