Hello! I'm sorry for the long delay!

Have had a few issues, but I also just couldn't think of how to write the chapter. So, hopefully this is okay! Thanks for waiting, and look forward to more frequent updates!

ENJOY!

*******************************************************

How did I get myself into this mess?

I'm currently walking around in circles with Aiden, both of us staring at each other as we mimic each other steps in the little "fighting ring" they have prepared on the field.

My eyes keep continuously glancing at his feet to see where he's about to step next, but then getting distracted by his toned abs and arms that I usually end up stumbling.

You see, Aiden and I made a deal. I got cocky, and thought I could win.

I lied to myself.

Basically, if I win a fight against him, then I get to train with everyone. If I lose, I have to wait in my room like a "good little mate" as he says – what a dick – and stop complaining.

Of course I didn't just accept it! I knew I had no chance against him. So we made the deal he has to stay in human form, he can only use half his strength, and he has to pin me down 5 times to win, and I only need to land a punch somewhere on his body once.

Sounds easy right?

Suddenly Aiden is in front of me as he grabs my waist spinning me around, holding my arms to my side as he pulls me down to the ground landing on top of him as he softens the fall, before rolling over and pinning me to the ground.

Fourth time.

Crap.

"Ugh!" I groan out as I push him off of me, quickly standing to my feet.

Aiden only smirks as he continues to walk around the edge of the ring, never taking his eyes off of me.

As we continue to circle each other my eyes catch sight of the white wolf, watching us intently along with everyone else on the training field, both wolves and humans.

Something about this white wolf feels familiar, yet also slightly dangerous, I just can't seem to put my finger on it.

"Focus Andy," Aiden smirks as he moves a little faster, my feet matching his pace.

Amaris?

Yeah?

Time to get wolfy!

Without even really thinking it through, I lunge at Aiden, hoping Amaris is giving me some type of strength or speed boost.

I swing my fist at his face but he easily dodges it as he spins around behind me.

I turn around quickly and kick out my right leg hoping to get him in the shin, to no avail.

Instead he grabs my leg and pulls me close to him, holding my leg over his hip as he grabs me by the waist.

"Wrong move," he whispers huskily in my ear, before trying to lift up my other leg to probably pin me down for the fifth time.

Suddenly, a surge of energy and power flows through my veins as I somehow manage to push out from his grip, duck underneath his arms to behind him, where I quickly kick the back of his knees causing him to lose balance.

Then I take my chance. I grab his shoulder, turn him around and swing my fist towards his face.

I'm going to win!
