A Burning Rejection

Chapter 11 ~ Confrontations

I take a quick hot shower making sure to wash my hair as well. Then jump out, wrapping a fluffy black towel around myself. When I get back into my room I notice that the triplets are gone and have also changed my sheets for me. Aww, they think that changing my sheets will make me go soft on them. Think again! I change into a black tank top, black shorts and black trainers. I know all black but it's my workout clothes. I brush through my hair before typing it up into a ponytail.

I skip down the stairs starting to get excited about training. I reach the kitchen to find that Penny is up and drinking her morning coffee.

"Morning Penny dearest," I smile sweetly, grabbing an apple and taking a big bite.

"Someone's in a good mood this morning." Penny arches a brow.

"I am. It's the first day of training. I might be able to beat someone up." I smile.

Penny just rolls her eyes and continues drinking her coffee and also reading the newspaper that I hadn't noticed before. I glance at the clock and see that it's almost time for training. I quickly finish off my apple and throw it in the bin.

"See you later Penny!"

I march out of the kitchen and into the back garden to see that only a handful of people are waiting. I scowl at the sight before me.

"Where is everyone else?" I ask.

"We don't know miss." A big guy replies. I like him already, he has manners.

"Please call me Jay, none of this miss business."

"As you wish mi- I mean Jay." I smile at him. "What's your name?"

"My name is Leon."

"Well Leon you just became my training partner." I smile. "Follow me."

We both make it to the front of the people that bothered to show up. I wasn't going to chase after them, if they wanted to die then so be it.

"Right everyone I am starting your training without them." I address them all, I hear no complaints. "Let's start with 2 laps of the packs ground, in human form." I shout and lead the way.

When we get back to the pack house I'm surprised to say that they all did very well at keeping pace with me. There was a few stragglers but they weren't that far behind. These guys would be easy to train. I wish I could say the same for the rest of them, but they haven't even bothered to show up! I'm also surprised to see that the rest of them have decided to show after half an hour has already past.

"Ah, so the rest of you finally decided to grace us with your presence then?" I ask, when I come to a standstill with everyone behind me. "Took you long enough, we've already started."

"Training is too early," a squeaky voice moaned. I instantly knew who it was, it was that bitch from the meeting room, I groaned.

"Rouges are not going to stop and wait for you to wake up they will attack when you least expect it. You've got to be ready people! There is a war coming and we all need to be prepared!" I shouted. "We are not the only people going through this. Every single pack is training to be stronger, smarter and to learn to work together to beat the evil that is coming. So you lot better take this seriously or your all going to die and your blood won't be on my hands."

No one spoke after my little speech they just stared at me but there was on gaze that burned into the side of my face. I knew who it was before I even turned my head to look at him, my 'mate' Cameron. 

"Everyone that was hear on time go take a break while the others got and run around the pack grounds." There were a few cheers and grumbles. I stayed rooted in place as people moved around me. Someone poked me in the arm and I came face to face with the bitch. I still don't know her name.

"Stay away from Cameron you slut, he's mine." She growled. Oh great, typical girl talk. Couldn't she have been a bit more original?

I laughed, "your calling me a slut? You should look at yourself sweetheart. And don't worry you can have him, I don't want him."

"Good. Back off!" She growled a final time before running after the others.

Isn't my life just great? I have the world's safety on my shoulders both supernatural and non-supernatural, I have to deal with my 'mate', I know have a bitch to deal with and I still have to get the triplets back for this morning!

A cough cleared from behind my taking me out of my thoughts. Cameron was behind me.

"What do you want Cameron?" I questioned.

"I wanted to talk to you Jessica."

I growled, "don't call me that! That isn't even my name it's Jay."

"Fine. Jay I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for what happened in the past and for rejecting you. I know what I did was childish and it wasn't right for the pack and I to treat you that way. I was hoping you could forgive me and we can be mates." He asked with hope in his voice.

"Y-you must be joking!" I said in between laughs. "I will never forgive you for what you did to me! You ruined my life. Why would I forgive such a monster? We will never be mates again. I hope you root in hell!" I shouted at him and stormed off over to the pack that got back from their run and continued on with the training. As promised Leon helped me demonstrate different stances and fighting combinations. I made them do sit ups, push ups, squats and spar with each other. All the while I could feel a pair of sorrowful eyes burning into the side of my head.
