"Everyone! Warm up with some rounds, after 15 min meet here again" The guy in charge shouted at the pack memebers. A unison reply made me flinch and hide behind Stellan.

My head hurts...

"You are joining us, Stellan...oh, who is that lady you're hiding behind ya back" The guy in charge now spoke to us.

I sighed and stepped to the side to speak up, I forced a smile on my lips "My name is Luana. I am staying at your pack for a while, please take care of me" I glanced up at him, the surprise was written all over his face. I guess my eyes still catch some people off guard.

He was even taller than Stellan which made me pout internally.

Why is everybody here descendent of trees?

His body was lean, his hair was straight falling on his forehead like a curtain. He looked like the kind boyfriend type, usually trainers are those buff types like Nate and Nathan...well that is just a stereotype.

"Glad that you decided to join us on this training, my name is Nolan " he smiled politely at me. He turned to Stellan, his face still wearing that polite smile but I could feel the air around him tensing "I'm surprised that you voluntary showed up, Mr Training-is-too-boring"

That sounds like Stellan.

So he is the type to take pride in his teaching methods, I guess he is still insulted.

An evil smirk played on his lips "How about running 35 laps, since you haven't been here for so long"

I could hear a low rumble of disapproval from Stellan. He rolled his eyes ignoring Nolan.

Same buddy, same.

If you have to run 35 laps, guess who can't go any further than 3 meters away?

Me.

I almost growled at Nolan, if I wasn't bound to that idiot by a spell this would have been a delight to watch.

"Come on, while you are at it I can have a nice chat with Luana" He gave me a genuine smile.

Okay?

I lost contact with the ground as Stellan swiped me off the ground with his arms. I didn't even scream, I am at the point where I stopped giving a f*ck.

Whatever, if he can run those 35 while carrying me I wouldn't care.

I didn't sign up for training anyway.

Stellan glanced down at me, his brows furrowed.

Is something on my face.

He looked up, his nonchalant expression found its way to him again "I can't run those laps without her. I need her."

I clenched my hands while my heart also clenched simultaneously.

Something is wrong with that chunk of meat in my chest.

He was only telling the truth. If he went running without me, he is the one who would be flung back.

He needs me to run those laps...but why does it sound so ambiguous?

Stupid heart, pump blood---not feelings in my system.

Nolan looked dumbfounded and on the verge of laughing out loud "Y-you go run those rounds, lover boy" he couldn't stop the chuckle that escaped at the end.
