The Rejected

37

"Dodge!" before i could react i was punched in the chest causing me to fly to the ground and scream i pain. "I told you to dodge." He shrugged.

"Ever stop to think maybe you should hit me lighter?" i growled and he just responded with another shrug.

"How you gonna learn if i don't put all my effort into my hits. Your lucky that was less then half of my effort." I glared at him. Does he not know that i am HUMAN?! And he's a WEREWOLF!?

I couldn't get enough strength even if i wasn't marked to work the way he wants me to. "I think that's enough for today. Here's a hint. The pups MUST be alive and well taken care of." He smirked. 

I parted my lips to ask him a question when i heard foot steps behind me. I turned to see Damon and i smiled at him. He doesn't know about the deal i have with Hex. If he knew he would get everything he could out of the man and from what i can see Hex wouldn't give anything up that way. And if he did it would probably be lies. 

Damon wrapped his arms around me as he looked at Hex with a skeptical expression. I had told Damon i had Hex training me and Damon didn't like it but he didn't wanna have his wolf take over and force me to stay and train with his wolves of there was a chance i could die.

"Well your alpha boy is here. See ya tomorrow princess." I rolled my eyes at him as Damon just growled softly and pulled me away and towards his car.

"How was training?" I looked back at him. The Tension was unsettling and i had a feeling it was because of Hex.

"It was fine." Damon looked at me. I noticed the look of realization and anger as he noticed the forming bruise upon my cheek where Hex had hit me.

He turned to face ahead and slammed his fists against the dash board before reaching over to grab the handle of his car but when my hand was placed on his arm he stopped to look at me. "I'm ok Damon. He is just trying to toughen me up faster.."

"Couldn't he just eas his way there instead pf jumping to hitting you?" He growled and i pulled on his arm pulling me closer to me as i placed a kiss on his cheek.

"I'm fine baby. Lets just head home." He sighed and nodded before starting the car. The whole car ride i thought of any explanations for the hint and how i could give Damon his hint.

"Hey Damon.." I mumbled causing him to replay with a 'hm?' "Are the pups safe? Like do they have homes yet?" 

"Not all but most." I chewed on my lip more. 

"Is there a way we can do what we can to keep the pups safe. Like no scratches or cuts?" Damon looked at me confused.

"Ya? Why you asking my angel?"

"I'd just hate if the pups went through loosing their home, families and stuff then suddenly get hurt themselves." Damon looked at me and frowned before removing a hand from the wheel and holding it upon my thigh.

"They will be fine baby girl. I'm not gonna let anything happen to them i promise." I smiled at him softly as i stared out my window. I hope things get resolved soon.
