Last night was exhilarating.

After locking our apartment door and giving clear instructions that we were not to be disturbed Kathryn and I cooked dinner together. Okay, Kathryn cooked and I watched her like a love sick puppy. She did give me some small jobs to do. At first, I thought it was to include me but then I soon realised it was all of the tedious tasks like chopping the onions and mushrooms and grating the cheese. She soon revealed with a laugh that she absolutely hated chopping and I was just too happy to oblige.

We ate dinner on the carpet in front of the couch, nice and cosy with pillows scattered everywhere. When Kathryn found out I haven't watched Game of Thrones she flipped out and immediately insisted we start watching it. As an Alpha I've never really made time for television shows but now having a mate I had the perfect excuse to relax more and focus on the small pleasurable things.

To say that I am hooked on Game of Thrones is an understatement. We watched 3 episodes before Kathryn fell asleep with her head still lying on my lap. I watched 2 more episodes without her, she will be so angry when she finds out because it seems she enjoys watching my reaction to the show more than actually watching the show itself.

I'll keep this a secret and happily watch the two episodes again with her just to see her smile at my reactions.

Apparently, she is also not a light sleeper because when I got up and tried picking her up she jolted awake with a fright. When she realised it was just me trying to take her to bed she relaxed and allowed me to tuck her in.

Today is the day we start her training; I get to train her first for two hours then we take a break and then one of my warriors will train her. I wanted her to be accustomed to different styles in preparation for whatever Richard is planning. I am nervous because I don't know how she has been trained up until now. I can see she is fit and has some muscle definition. But she was slim and if she doesn't have the right training someone stronger and bigger could easily overpower her.

A low growl escaped as Kane pushed forward, realising the idea of her being overpowered upsets him I push him back down.

"Get it together man, nothing is happening now. I was just thinking about it."

He growls again before saying "Still doesn't make it a pleasant thought. Protect mate."

Kathryn and I go to the training grounds, luckily no one was there yet so we had some privacy for me to see her abilities. I wouldn't want the pack to witness their Luna struggling. Even if she was going against me. I myself wasn't the biggest guy out there, but I pride myself in learning how to use my strengths. I am not an Alpha you would want to challenge.

The royal blood helps too. I was a descendant of the original werewolf pack after all.

"Right." I say as we enter the grounds. "Let's just start like this is a normal attack. I want to see where you're at with your training."

She nods her reply and turns around rolling her shoulders.

Kane's ears perking up at the sight of her. All of a sudden, she looked lethal.

We circle each other slowly at first, I waited for her to make the first move but she didn't.

Hmm interesting.
