An Alpha's Pride (Jamie and the Alpha Book 2)

39

      Two days later and after a awkward stage of avoiding any physical contact what so ever Jamie suggested the pair of them go to their gym so he could see how she trained for a normal day of school. 

      With a nod Elaine agreed and the two of them were in the gym trading off on the weights.

          "9...10. Ok, good work." Jamie said, ready to rerack the heavy bar but Elaine pridefully did two more before she re-racked the bar.

          "I thought you said we were going to ten?" Jamie joked putting his hands on his hips as Elaine toweled off. 

          "No, I said you were going to ten. I however always go to twelve on light weights." she smiled standing to help him put his weights on the bar. 

          "Two fifteen is not light weight Elaine!" he huffed almost feeling every piece of fat on his body. 

           "It is when you all you do is train to knock two hundred plus alphas on their ass." she chuckled getting behind the bar to help spot his modest eighty pounds. 

            "You know you make me feel fat when you say that." he pouted laying down on the bench grabbing the bar.

           "You're not fat." she said rolling her eyes, her hands ghosting under the bar as he completed his third rep.

         "You don't have to lie to spare my feelings. I'm just a fat stupid omega." he laughed in good humor but felt a tang of shame. 

      Elaine was an Adonis when it came to fitness.

      Hell everyone in his family was, from his father all the way down to the second youngest brother in Travis. 

      Before he'd gotten pregnant he was once a member of that particular club but ever since the pups were born his old habits fell by the wayside. If it weren't for his mother who tried to keep them heathy diet on a daily basis he'd probably but much fatter and a lot less desirable than he already felt he was. 

      Lost in his thoughts he was surprised when the bar was snatched from his hands and Elaine was bent down so they were eye to eye. 

          "You're neither fat or stupid you hear me." she growled scolding him, "You are perfect just the way you are. Now if you want some advise to maybe fine tune your body then all you have to do is ask. However I will not tolerate that shit Am. I. Clear." Elaine said sternly her caramel brown eyes burning his self-conscious away. 

         "Ok. Sorry...." he apologized as she gave him back the bar. 

          "Now, give me two more then we'll switch." she nodded confidant and Jamie continued his reps.

      After that Jamie continued his lighter but no less rigorous version of his mates training.

      After three sets of ten on the bench they did the same amount of the incline and decline bench presses. After that Elaine moved on to her tricep routine of bench dips, rope pulldowns and overhead rope extensions, all either four sets of ten or three sets of eight when Jamie's little noodle arms gave out on the second exercise.

      With one last gut retching rep on the rope extension Jamie let the rope fall and the weights came crashing down as he fell to knees shaking his exhausted arms. 

         "I thought this was supposed to be a light workout!" he yelled at the chuckling Elaine while his arms screamed from the abuse. 

         "It is." she laughed, "Normally I'd go back to chest workouts after this."
