As of now we were all sitting in the lounge.

"How did you manage to do it?" Luca exasperated rhetorically, shaking his head. He seemed dumbfounded over how I got Leo to leave his office. "I underestimated you."

"That you did, now learn from it." I stuck my tongue out at him.

Even though the TV was playing, I decided to make small talk, "So when did you guys meet your mat-"

"I'm back!" A voice interrupted. Please don't tell me that's who I think it is. Her face came into view and to say the least I was more than unhappy.

Goddess, she should've stayed in her mother's womb and rotted there.

My face scrunched up; I was having a pretty decent day too. She entered the place like she owned it and that irked me.

She didn't even live here.

That too.

"Hello Luna." Barbie spat the word like it was venom on tongue as she stared at me spitefully, "Oh wait, you're not even technically our Luna since you haven't mated." I heard a couple growls when she had said that. Frightening was one word to describe it.

She had the audacity to say something as incredulous as that in front of the leaders of her own pack. It was one way to break the tranquil atmosphere though.

Papa said to never tolerate disrespect but I thought playing with her wouldn't be so harsh, right?

"Right, I think I'm aware of that already." I fake smiled. "It's just a bit early to delve further into our relationship just yet."

"You'd do it on the first day if you were normal."

"Why the need to rush things?" She didn't answer me and instead looked at Leo.

"When you decide this low-life isn't right for you, I'll be waiting." She winked and I almost choked, she seriously had some guts. With that, she left and we all shared our disgusted looks.

"I swear she's already fucked her uncle or something." Luca shuddered and we all laughed most likely in agreement.

"Probably got too many STD's to count." Dana added on.

It was just now me and Leo in the room. He outstretched his arms and I carried myself into his arms. He put his hand under my top and began drawing circles on my back whilst I just laid my head on his chest, tingles going up my arms every time he made a full circle. Uncertainty filled me with what I felt about Leo, was it real? I felt a strange sense of comfort in his arms but even so it just felt right. I hoped it was and I would carry on clinging onto it. I doubt I could get myself through the same feeling of betrayal again, it was by far something that was too much to bear.

With everything that had been going on, I needed to blow off some steam. Unhealthy was it to hold onto the overwhelming emotion that took over me.

"Hey Leo." He hummed in response. "Do you have some sort of gym I could use?"

"Yeah. I forgot to show you it but come on." I nodded and followed him after changing into a sports bra, some leggings and trainers.

He opened the door and I gasped at the vast size. It wasn't even a gym, it was also like a dojo but more than that. It ranged from treadmills to daggers etc. a mixture to be honest. This was definitely my type of place. Grinning at Leo, I entered, "This is amazing, how did you even forget to tell me about this place?" He just shrugged. "Alright, you can go now. If you want, you can check up on me every now and then." I kissed his cheek. He nodded and left me.

I tied my hair up into a high ponytail. My eyes wandered around the room once more when it landed on the swords that were neatly hung in the corner. I picked one up and rubbed the hilt, gripping it firmly after. It felt so nice to associate myself again with the ecstatic feeling against my skin.

It couldn't compare to the way Leo's skin-to-skin contact felt but it was a different kind of good.

Inhaling deeply, I slowly began moving my body back into the groove I felt when I attacked my enemy. My specialty was swords, papa said I was born with the gift to swiftly move with a sword professionally without much training.

Imagining there was an opponent fighting with me, I moved to shoot at them with my sword. I added in some martial arts that were taught by papa.

Ducking, dodging, attacking, jumping, it was like water flowing through me with ease.

What felt like minutes had somehow turned into hours. Changing from one-handed swords to two, I eventually wore myself out, sweating head to toe. It felt amazing to indulge myself into an experience again as this; trying to gain back the year's worth of training I missed.

I heard a wolf-whistle come from the door. My head snapped to the door. All 5 of them.

"Are you sure you just don't have just some killer skills, because what I see is potential." Alex blurted our and my cheeks flushed. It was definitely unusual to be given a compliment from Alex seeing as he hated my guts so I wouldn't take that for granted.

"If that's coming from Alex then you really do have serious skills." Luca added, "He specialises in the weapons industry." I was still panting but I managed to smile inbetween.

"What about you then? That muscle can't be for nothing." I asked Luca.

He flexed his biceps and kissed them, "This is from hands-on fighting, boxing you know all that shabazzle."

"I'll be looking forward to it." My eyes moved over to Leo. He was just gawking at me. "Then what does this big boy specialise in?" I pointed at him and he snapped out of his trance.

"Everything." Leo smirked.

"And I'm suppose to believe that? You coop yourself in your office 24/7 from what I hear." I smirked.

"Lies. They obviously haven't had their asses handed to them by me."

Ignoring our little conversation, Alex continued, "You're obviously a sword gal but I'm sure you do a lot more." I nodded.

A lot more.

"Dana, Lynn, what do you bring to the table then?"

"Archery." Lynn said.

"I stick with Luca." She hugged his arm and he kissed her forehead sweetly bringing her forward, him wrapping his arms around her waist.

"GOALSSS!" They all furrowed their eyebrows. "Too soon?"

"I need to take a shower." I sniffed.

"Definitely." Alex states unnecessarily.

"Fuck you."

"No, that's me and Lynn." I gagged when he said that.

TMI dude.
