She's My Cliche ( Alpha Taming )

16 The Hunted

DECEMBER

"It's so good to rest. " Mika stretched and sighed. She had just called Jayce, and the others had somehow contacted the guys as well. " We have to leave soon don't we?" She pouted.

" Unfortunately yes. " Tye sighed. " I don't want to though. In our off time Farven has been teaching me how to take care of Jason's hair. I've learned so many new things to do with it. " He giggled a little.

" He is the biggest softie ever. How is he an assassin?" Asked Linzie.

" Mmm... Jason is very serious. Just not around the people he trusts. He tends to be quiet around other Alphas. When on a job he is deathly serious. He's a scary man. He's scolded me severely once. Just once, and he felt terrible about it. But, I fucked up. I could have gotten us both killed. Lead the target back to our pack. I had to learn. " He shrugged playing with Merella's hair.

" What did he do?" Mika asked sitting up.

Tye glanced at the group of girls gathered around him. " He... Well he punished me by locking me away In a solitary kind of building. Just me and him. Non stop training. If I blacked out, it got worse. Harder. Nearly unbearable. " He shrugged. " I could see the remorse in his eyes, but he couldn't show me special treatment because I'm his Luna. The fact is I messed up. "

" That's far to harsh. " Merella whispered.

Tye smiled a little. He felt uncomfortable talking about himself like this. But, they deserved to know why Jason was the way he was. " If it helps after he pampered me. He literally wouldn't leave my side for two weeks after. "

" How long Tye?" Esmeralda asked quietly. " I mean how long was the punishment? It couldn't have just been a day. I've known them for way to long. I know better. "

" A week. He retrained me. Everything that he had already taught me. Drilled it back into me on a crash course of a week. It was hell. " He sighed. " But, he really did pamper me. Wouldn't even let me get water by myself. "

" Sometimes our Alphas are harsh hmm?" Esmeralda said as she smiled a little. " Ricardo is so over protective. He doesn't think I can protect myself because I'm a girl. I guess he is old fashioned. Still. He makes me so mad. Sometimes... "

Mika kind of giggled. " They are a rough bunch of guys. Even Axton. I've seen a side of him I hadn't before. It was shocking. I'm used to them being laid back, but every one of them have managed to scare me. The Ball was a very clear way to see them. "

Linzie nodded. " Axton has issues, but he's working them out. He's getting much better. " She smiled.

"Good to know. Ladies, sorry to interrupt, but I'm butting in anyway. " Farven said as he sat with them. He chuckled a little, and sighed softly before glancing at Tye. " Boy. You can keep secrets, but not forever. Especially not from Jason. Though, I imagine he's got secrets as well hmm?"

Tye nodded. His hands were beginning to shake when Farven came in. " He does. Though he won't say. "

" Calm down. He would never hurt you, and if he didn't want you he would have already moved on. " He assured. Tye looked down. Almost as if he was unsure. " He won't kill you for hiding something. Especially if it's for a good reason. Moving on. Miss Merella, Carter isn't stupid. I'm sure he's picked up on his blackouts by now. Lynx is smart, and that is why they are compatible. He knows that Carter has most likely caught on. Carter is allowing it to happen until you've become comfortable enough to say whatever it is you need to. My guesses at least. " He smiled.

The mermaid blushed a little, and smiled back at him. " I hope so. I really do. "

" You've been talking with Lynx? What about Carter? He still doesn't know?" Mika asked.
