The Alpha's Mate

Chapter 6

I stood in front of Alex's room. My bags in my hand, I looked down at the stairs I had just walked up. Alex had the entire top floor to himself. Everything he needed was here but everything I needed was down that single set of stairs.

I pushed the door open with my foot. Alex was sitting on his bed, papers strewn all over the mattress as his glasses were pushed up against his nose. He looked up when I walked in.

"Let me help you."

"No thanks, I'm perfectly capable of sorting myself out."

"Okay, I've cleared the top two draws for you and there's a spare wardrobe in the corner."

I smiled weakly as I dumped my bags on the floor. I began to fill up the draws with all my underwear and training tops. I then moved on to hanging all my jeans and hoodies in the wardrobe. Once I had finished I then zipped my bags back up and moved them towards the wall.

I made my way to the sofa and sat down, plugging my headphones into my ears. 10 minutes went by and I was beginning to get reckless.

"Alex?" He looked up from his work.

"Yes babe?"

"Where's the gym?"

"I'm not letting you work out in the gym on your own."

"I don't care what you want, I have to keep my fitness up."

He sighed in defeat, "I'm coming with you then."

He began to tidy up his papers as I turned to my draws pulling out a pair of black leggings and a sports bra.

I walked into the bathroom and stripped of my clothes, pulling on my all too favourite workout clothes. I collected my stuff off the floor and dumped them onto the sofa. In the time that it had taken me to get ready, Alex had also got changed. He was now standing in front of me, in a pair of grey sweats and a black wife beater. It was enough to make me drool. I resisted my desire to comment and walked out the door.

I followed Alex down the stairs and through a set of double doors. What was inside was enough for me to fall in love. In the middle of the room was a punching bag, around the edge there was so much equipment the entire pack could be in here at once.

I smiled to myself plugging my headphones in a jumping on the treadmill. I began to run, letting my feet move to the beat of the music.

I ran until my legs began to burn and even then I ran for another 10 minutes. The room had begun to fill up with wolves, wanting their afternoon workouts. By the side of the room was a speaker it looked big enough to make a lot of noise.

I pulled my headphones out of my ears and plugged my phone in. Music began to blare through the speaker. I walked over to the punching bag pulling on a pair of gloves. From the corner of my eye I could see Alex watching me, as he learnt against the lockers situated at the back of the room.

He was curious, and after this morning's show, he wasn't the only one. Some of the other wolves began to look my way, trying not to catch the Alpha's eye.

At that moment Jason walked into the room.

"Jase come here a second," I yelled at him.

He soon walked over, I could see Alex become more curious, and he was clearly weary of my best friend.

"Want to be my training partner while were hear?" I stated knowing full well that I wouldn't be leaving.

"Thought you were never going to ask." He said grinning.
