Claiming The Hidden Alpha✔️

Chapter 31

Erica

I walked up to Jerome immediately I saw him and with so much emotion in my heart I hugged him immediately I got close to him. I felt my eyes getting cloudy and I knew that it was due to the tears in my eyes. I was scared of leaving my mate and not wanting to lose him. I want to be able to be with him and not be apart from him. I felt the need to be close to him. I knew that I might not have the chance to be with him due to the duel.

I knew that I had to be strong and do everything in my power to save him. I will try everything possible to make sure he never dies in the duel. I pray that he will be able to survive and be the winner even though I knew that can't be possible. I want to make sure that I get to train him to be strong. I will tell my dad to also help train him like a warrior whose sole purpose is to kill. I knew that it might be hard for him to digest it but all I wish for is his success. I want him to win the duel and I felt like today is the duel's day. I tried hard to fight off the tears but it kept on coming.

"It is going to be okay," I heard Jerome's voice and I sighed as he patted my head while stroking my hair. .

I sighed heavily as I broke the hug while trying to clean the tears which had rolled down my cheek. I cleaned it and was sure that there was no evidence that proved that on my face. I wouldn't want to make that happen. I don't want him to see me crying. I knew that he would feel bad and I didn't want him to. I was worried about him. I was worried that something bad would happen to him while fighting, and if I'm to tell him it will look like I'm calling him an incompetent person. I knew that it wouldn't sit well with him.

"Yeah, I guess" I said slowly and he sighed heavily while ruffling his hair with his hands and I couldn't help but feel more worried about him.

"You brought these, do you think that I'm a ?" he asked all of a sudden and I froze and a dark shade of blush appeared on my face. I knew with no doubt that he would be thinking about the kiss. I knew that I shouldn't have done that but it felt right. It was like my lips were made for his. I felt my heart flutter and so do my eyes as I stared deep into his eyes. He gazed at me like he could see through me and it was as if I was in a trance.

"Yes, you should read about them, and after that you can start your training" I said and he nodded with a sad smile on his face. I knew that he might also think that I was right.

Having to know that my mate would either die or lose me to another man which I don't want. I don't want him to be far away from me. I knew that Mabel could seize any of the opportunities and be with her.

"You should inform me so I can take you to where you are to be trained," I said and he nodded his head.

"I need to leave now," I said and he smiled before I walked out of his room. I walked toward my parents house with the aim of telling my dad to be the one who will train my mate. I knew he was the best candidate for it because he was the former Alpha of this pack and I heard he was a great warrior. I knocked on my parents door and I opened it without waiting for their reply just like I have always done.

"Good afternoon, Dad and Mom" I greeted them immediately . I entered the house and I saw them seated not too far from each other.

"Good afternoon," they said in unison and I stared at the both of them with a raised eyebrow. They all stared at each other before bursting out into laughter. I couldn't help the smile that escaped from my mouth.

"I know you are here for your mate's matter," he said and I nodded my head while staring at him hoping that he would agree to what I wanted.

"I'm sorry for that, you know nobody can change the council's mind. There is nothing you can do about it, you should let your mate choose himself, you should know that he is scared for his life if he decides to back down" my mum said and I nodded my head in understanding.
I know that the decision is in my mate's hand. I pray that he does whatever he wants and whatever makes him happy. He should be happy and I won't try to stop him from having a happy life.

"Yes dad, can you be his tutor, he needs to be trained for the duel" I said and he nodded his head before turning to look at my mum with a raised eyebrow in a questioning manner.

"You can as long as he is in support of that," my mum said and I sighed heavily with my eyes filled with happiness. I knew that since my dad is a warrior he would be able to win the match with the help of my father.

"I'll do just that, you should tell me when he is ready," my dad said and I nodded my head with a tingling hope in my heart knowing that his chances of surviving are increasing and might increase to a stage soon.

"I will dad," I said with a smile on my face.
"I will take my leave now," I said again and they nodded their heads before I walked out of the room.

****************
It has been days now since Jerome had started training and to say I'm disappointed is an understatement. I couldn't believe that this was the same person I had thought had the power of a Lycan and it was that I knew that he wasn't as I had thought. My fears had come true and not only that I felt nervous. I knew things won't go well with everything. I knew that there would be something that would make things hard. I knew that there is no way that he would be able to fight off an Alpha.

He has improved a lot but not to the stage of fighting off an Alpha. I wasn't happy with the fact that he isn't improving like I had wanted and not only that he had been slacking off for some days now. He isn't training like he used to do and my dad isn't saying a thing about it. He seems to be in support of that and I feel confused. I couldn't understand why my dad would be supporting him even when it could cost his life.

He is now able to fight off pack members and not only that but also low ranked warriors. He has been improving but not to what I wanted. He didn't improve to my standards, and I will make sure he does that. I want him to improve to be able to survive and be my mate. I don't want any other man to be my mate and also the alpha of my pack. I won't allow anybody to take him away from him. I couldn't help but feel worried that something might happen to him because he isn't still strong enough to beat an Alpha. I knew that he would be able to beat off anybody except alpha and high ranked warriors. I knew that him going against alpha's is like a suicide mission which I don't want him to embark on.

I knew it would be as if I disagree with him being my mate and I don't want that. I want him to know that I want him to be mine and for him to be safe and sound.
