Chapter 48

I side- stepped a punch that was aimed for my face. I grabbed his shirt, and pulled towards me. I stuck my foot out, and pushed him back with an inhumane force so he tripped over my outstretched foot. But of course, he just leaped back up. Another punch came towards my face. I blocked. Another punch. Another block. He backed up, and leaned to kick me in the gut. I dodged, anticipating the move when his balance changed.

Our bodies gave away everything. That was the first thing I had learned. Watch the other person's body.

I danced a couple of steps back, so I could get a quick breather. My fists held up to protect my face. Knees bent to keep me on balance. I lunged forwards, and tried to send a punch at his face. He grabbed my arm, and twisted it. I slammed the palm of my hand upwards, getting his nose. He lost his grip on my arm, but quickly recovered. He grabbed me from behind, making it impossible for me to get out. My head and nose were throbbing in pain.

"Gotcha baby," He whispered.

He started to nuzzle my neck. My head arched back, revealing more of my neck. He trailed kisses down my neck, becoming so into it that his grip loosened on me. I shoved my elbow back, catching him in the ribs. I pulled myself loose from the grip, and took a few steps away. I leaned over, trying to catch my breath.

"I'm done," I panted.

I was defeated. I couldn't continue on without keeling over.

"Come on. I know you've got it in you," Jace encouraged, his eye dark with his wolf on the surface. Something I had gotten used to. They were always changing. Like he was always fighting for control over his wolf.

"I can't do it!" I gasped, breathlessly.

"Come on, just for a bit longer."

Sweat dripped down my face, coating almost every inch of my body.

"I can't," I growled through panted breaths.

"Fine, we can take a ten minute break."

I crumpled to the ground in a giant lazy heap. Jace gave me an amused look, before joining me on the flower covered ground. Except he didn't just crumple down like me, he sat down like he hadn't just been avoiding punches and kicks for the past hour and a half. I, on the other hand, was panting like a fish out of water. I was even covered in enough sweat to make it look like I just came out of water. Stupid mate strength didn't help me be as strong as him.

Jace was training me. We did it at night in this clearing, with only the moon for light. We had to wait a week and a half before I was healed up enough to start training. Training was a pain in the ass. It ended up with me on the ground, sweating like a pig, and feeling more tired than ever before in my life. I had only been training for a the past five days, but I hated it with all my might. I totally regretted ever agreeing to this. Yet for some reason, every night I decided that it wouldn't be as bad as the night before, which is how I ended up out here five nights in a row.

I looked out at the clearing I had stumbled upon with Mia one day. It was a gorgeous clearing with purple and white flowers that only bloomed at night, when the moon was high in the sky. During the day it was just a gorgeous green clearing, with the buds of the flowers barely visible against the green.

I sat up after catching my breath, and grabbed my water bottle nearby. I greedily chugged the water down, welcoming the cold drink. What I wouldn't do for a little cool breeze. Sadly it was summer, so there was no such luck.

"You ready to begin again?" Jace asked me.

I gave him a terrified look while shaking my head furiously.
