Chapter Twelve I hadn't realized when I had fallen asleep on the couch until something woke me- pain.
My whole body seemed to be on fire. I knew what was happening; how the hell hadn't I thought about it? We were fated mates; of course, if he was with his whores, I was going to know-I was going to feel it.
After Alexander had marked me, he walked out of the room. I knew exactly what he was off to do, and I didn't care; I was happy to have the room all to myself. I didn't realize what I would have to endure while he was having fun, but I had been through worse. He knew what he was doing, and if he thought even for a second that this would makechange my mind about going to bed with him, then he was wrong; I'd rather endure it.
I managed to draw myself a bath; I was hoping this would help ease the pain, but of course it didn't. It went on for longer than I expected, but finally it cto an end.

Too soon, morning came, Alexander never did return to our room.
A whole day passed, and I decided I was done sitting around in the room. I was going to go out there and do something, maybe join the soldiers train... or anything else.
I walked down the hallways, trying to master every route, and soon I was out of the pack house.
I followed the noise and screams, and they ledto the training grounds.
I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face. The soldiers were good - very good actually.
Aric walked up to me.
"Reminds you of the good old days, doesn't it?" "Con, it hasn't been that long since I left the Dawn pack." I said and he shrugged.
"How was your first night with the Alpha King?" "I don't think it's right to disclose private matters to the likes of you," I said, and he was silent, looking atlike I had grown two heads. "gods, I was trying to make a joke!" He chuckled, finally catching on, I swear Aric used to be more fun in his twenties.
"It wasn't so bad-I mean, he was absent for most of it, but that is a good thing; he did markand then went away to bed swhore." The smile on Aric's face faded. "He can't treat you that way you are his Luna now." "Oh, don't you worry; I had agreed to this. Until... I was ready; he could seek satisfaction between the brunette's legs." "Kaida..." " "No, I don't want to hear it. My father wantedto be his Luna; I did that, but everything else I do from there on would be my decision." Aric nodded, clearly not pushing it.

now the news should have already spread, they knew was the Luna - at least sof them did.
"I waited patiently for Aric to attack first as he usually did. He lunged at me, and I sidestepped, anticipating his move. He quickly regained his balance and approached again,m sword raised. I met Xim, our swords / clashed. He pulled away, he swept his sword in an arc, but I saw that coming too. I placed a foot on the tip of the sword, and he sent a kick to my abdomen. I lost my balance and fell to the ground. Before I had the chance to rise, his blade sliced atagain. I blocked, dodged, and rose to my feet. I kicked him in the knee, payback for his earlier strike, and just like me, he lost balance. I pointed the sword to his neck "Got you." "You sure?" he questioned and only then did I notice his sword also pointed at my abdomen.
Applause erupted from the crowd of watchers; I had almost forgotten they were there. I gave a ball bow. Only NO when I rose did I notice his presence.
Alexander was here, and his gaze was fixed on me.
