Chapter Three
Alpha Redclaw led Anne and Lexi out of the administrator building and onto a stone path that led them to the dormitories. The building on the left was the female dormitories, it was a massive grey stone building; the Royal females lived on the two top levels, and the Custodian females lived on the third level while the Sub servants took the bottom floor. On the right were the male dormitories; like the females, the Royals were on the top two floors, the Custodians were on the third floor while the Sub servants got the ground floor. The only difference between the buildings was the colour. The female dorms were a light grey; where as the male dorms were a dark black. In between the two dorms was a smaller building, it’s the only area where both sexes were allowed to mingle, called the common room. It was a kind of entrainment room on one side, with T.Vs, computer games, pool tables, and the like; on the other side you find tables and chairs for those who need to study with someone of the opposite sex; this was the schools way of making sure no one needed to go to each other’s dorms. But that sure as hell didn’t stop me from doing it. She smirked to herself as all the fun memories she had of sneaking into some guys room for a steamy make out session came flooding back. Yep those were some good times. They entered the common room which was relatively packed; Lexi took a look around to see if she recognised anyone, to find that nothing much had changed; all the same faces were still here. But then, she thought, we were only gone for four months. A loud wolf whistle echoed throughout the room.
“Hey Lexi, baby, good to see you back.” The guy standing next to the pool table said, she had no idea who he was, but she sent him a teasing smile anyway.
“Yeah, I know it’s hard to forget all this.” She said pointing at her body. She had a nice figure; her muscles were toned from all the workouts and excise she did in her training classes, her chest was not too big, but it wasn’t too small and she often-caught guys checking her out. Her long blonde hair, that just reached her elbows, went perfectly with her dark green eyes. She was a little on the short side, standing at 5’2, but what she lacked in height she made up for with attitude. Her hair was the thing she hated most about her looks; she was always referred to as a ‘dumb blonde’, even though she was smarter than most of the people in her class. So as soon as she left the school four months ago she added a few black streaks to her hair. She loved the way it looked now. The guy by the pool tables looked her body up and down.
“Why don’t we catch up some time?” he asked, giving her a wink. Not really interested in the offer, but not wanting to hurt his feelings, she smiled sweetly at him.
“Lexi,” Alpha Redclaw said growling at her. She looked over at him,
“What, he’s cute.” He shook his head at her and kept walking towards the door to the girls dorms. She sighed to herself. I guess now’s not the time to be having fun. She looked over at her hot new trainer to find him looking at her with disgust.
“What? Why are you looking at me like that for?” she asked him.
“You should have more pride, and stop making yourself look so easy in front of everyone. You are Anne Redclaw’s Custodian, your actions reflect back on her, and right now you’re embarrassing their name.” He stormed past her and up to Alpha Redclaw, spoke to him for a minute, then turned around and walked off to the male dormitory.
“Well that went well.” She mumbled to herself. She shrugged her shoulders and continued to follow Anne and her farther to the female dorms. Because her dorm room is on the second floor, they reach her room first. Before Lexi could enter the room, Alpha Redclaw placed his hand on her shoulder.
“Now Lexi, I am leaving my daughter in your capable hands again. If something should happen, I want your word, you will contact me immediately.”
“Er, sure Alpha.” Why is he telling me to contact him if something happens? He’s never asked me to do this before. Does he suspect why we left? She quickly gave Anne a hug, told her that she would see her the next day, and to let her know if she was needed before slipping into her room. She looked around her old room and sighed, nothing had changed. The room was nothing special, it only had the basics: bed, drawers and closet for your clothes, a desk for studying, and a bathroom. She looked at her desk and was happy to see that the laptop Anne had given her (for her birthday last year) was still there. Exhausted, and still a little groggy from the tranquilizer, she pulled off her dirty clothes, opened her drawers and pulled out some clean underwear and a tight t-shirt that just reached her hips. She climbed into bed, laid her head on her pillow and drifted off to sleep. She awoke to banging on her door. Groaning, she dragged her sleeping body over to the door and opened it.
“This better be good.” She managed to mumble out.
“You’re not dressed.” She looked up to find an annoyed looking Chase standing at her door.
“Of course I’m not dressed, I was sleeping.” She lifted her hand to cover the large yawn that had escaped her mouth. Focusing her sleepy eyes on Chase she took in what he was wearing: black track pants and a hoodie.
“What are you doing here? The sun isn’t even up yet.” Her eyes widened as a thought occurred to her. “Wow, I may think you’re hot but I’m not that easy.”
Chase looked her up and down and just snorted.
“Really, have you seen what you answered the door in?” She looked down and realised she had hardly anything on.
“Crap.” Mumbling to herself, she left Chase at her door, walked over to her drawers and pulled out a pair of track pants and pulled them on. She walked back over to her door and saw that Chase was still standing there. “Ok, now that I have pants on, and am feeling a little more awake, you mind telling me why you’re banging on my door at this ungodly hour?”
“To wake you up, of course - it’s time to start your training. As I was making my way to the training room I realised no one had informed you of your starting time, so I came to wake you.” He looked at her feet. “Put some shoes on and let’s go.”
“Training, but it’s only...” she looked over her shoulder at the alarm clock sitting on her bedside table. “Four Am! Are you nuts? Who trains at four in the bloody morning?” she practically yelled at him.
“You do. This is all part of your punishment. Now hurry up and put your shoes on.”
“’Hurry up and put your shoes on.’” She mocked, he chuckled softly.
“Not a morning person, I take it?”
“Gee, what gave that away?” She asked. She sat down on her bed and quickly shoved her socks and shoes on. She look down and realised she wasn’t wearing a bra, working out would be hell without one. She looked at Chase, who was looking at her curiously.
“Er, I just need to close my door, so I can finish getting dressed.” He frowned.
“What you have on is fine, let’s go.” She rubbed her face with her hands.
“This is so embarrassing.” She mumbled, before looking back at him. “Look, I need to put a bra on, so unless you want me to knock myself out with my own breasts while working out, I suggest you let me close my door so I can finish getting dressed.” She watched his cheeks turn a light shade of pink while he opened and closed his mouth a few times, looking like a fish.
“Oh yeah, sure, I’ll just wait out here.” He turned his back on her room. She closed the door, ripped off her shirt, and put on her sports top (it has extra support for her chest). She then threw her t-shirt back over her sports top, and pulled one of the hair bands from her wrist; she always has a few there, in case she ever needed to pull her hair into a messy ponytail. She opened her door to see Chase, standing the same way he was when she closed it.
“Ok I’m ready.”
They exited the building and crossed the court yard to the Warrior Training building. It had two floors designed as training rooms, there were work out areas where the gym equipment was, and then there was the sparing area, where the floor was covered in mats, all different types of weapons lined the walls. They were trained so they could defend any type of attack: from guns to swords to being a wolf to hand-to-hand combat. The third floor of the building were the classrooms, for any theory lessons they had, on the top floor there was a large track for them to run laps, and her favourite, a giant indoor swimming pool. The building was huge.
“So what do you want me to do this morning? Hand to hand combat?” Lexi asked as they reached the main entrance to the Combat Training building.
“Nope.”
“Huh. Ok, sword handling?” She asked as they reach the only elevator in the building. The reason for it is because they work their asses off in there that some days when they finish they can hardly walk so for safety reason they put in an elevator.
“Nope.”
“Hmm, Wolf form fighting?” They step inside the elevator.
“Nope,” He pushed the button for the top floor. At first Lexi frowned at this, why would he be taking her up there for training, she already know how to run and swim. Then her eyes brightened up with a thought.
“Swimming?”
“Nope.” She groaned in frustration. This guy is killing me with his one word answers! She thought to herself.
“Fine I give up, what will I be doing?” The elevator door opened and the massive track was the first thing she saw.
“Running,” he said. She groaned even louder.
“I hate running” She grumbled. He turned and looked at her with an evil smirk on his face.
“I know.” She rolled her eyes and shoved him.
“Jerk,” she stopped at the edge of the track and started doing some stretches. “How many laps do you want me to do?” He pulled out a stopwatch.
“I want you to run laps for a whole hour while I time your speed for each lap and the number you can do in an hour.”
“What! A whole freaking hour of running?”
“Yes, now get to it.” She finished her stretches, made her way to the track, and started jogging.
“This is going to be one freaking long hour.” She mumbled.
