I slowed to a walk, stretching my arms out in front of me. I wiped the sweat from my forehead with the sleeve of my shirt and then sighed out as I finished walking down the trail. Ezra nudged my arm as he jogged off back to the cabin. I watched him leave and then returned my attention back to where I was going.

I was finally returning to training. My house arrest was completed and I was free. It was only two weeks, but it had felt like years. My beast was excited to get back to kicking some ass.

"Are you sure you should be returning to training? Aren't you still a cripple?" Kade's voice asked me as he swung an arm over my shoulders. I looked up at him and laughed.

He was sweating already. The sun was hot, particularly warm. It was magnificent.

"Even as a cripple, I could still kick your ass," I told him cockily. We both chuckled a little as we came up to the group of wolves. There were a whole new bunch of Alpha wolves in the group, ones that were probably transfers.

"Well, well, well. Look at who we have here," Quo said as he turned his attention to me. He grinned at me as people began to turn their heads in my direction.

"Finally free," I said jokingly. Quo came up to me and quickly hugged me before he pulled away and glanced around. Kade left to join his group, and I crossed my arms as I looked around for Lila.

She hadn't arrived yet. I was sure that she was still mad at me for the day in the infirmary when I wouldn't answer her questions. I'd not seen her since. She'd been avoiding me.

I planned at confessing everything in the evening. Ezra had already done the hard part; inviting everyone to our house. They were all scheduled to arrive at ten o'clock tonight, when things around the pack would hopefully be quiet.

Liam had another night shift, and it was supposed to be his last. I planned on telling him the night after. The first night he'd be free.

My beast scratched and clawed violently at my mind. She begged and begged for me to tell everyone in the entire pack. She wanted me to kill Henry, tear him to shreds for what he had done.

He hadn't just hurt Liam, he'd hurt me and my brothers. He was responsible for the death of my father. 

Nothing would change that.

"I don't think that Alfie is around today. Probably important business. There's a lot of new kids so I'm just getting everyone sparring and familiarising with each other," Quo told me. I nodded at him, noticing that there were in fact a lot of new people in the group. A lot had graduated.

I noticed Veronica in the group. She was surrounded by more girls than normal. I assumed that she had dragged in some newbies to be her fresh meat. More slaves.

She tossed me a dirty look and then tore her eyes away from me. I couldn't help but smirk. She was a dirty, dirty female.

"Erick, since you seem to be excelling in your work here, I'll set you up to spar with Alison today. She's very good, probably a little dusty though. We've kept her hidden for a while," Quo said, turning around. He looked to a male that I hadn't seen before.

He was strong. It was obvious. Just looking at him gave me slight chills. I stared at him intensely.

He was ripped; muscles covering his body. His shoulders and biceps were defined, more than anyone I had ever seen before. His chest was almost bare in the singlet he wore. He had tattoos and the sweat glistening on his skin made them look even cooler.
