Taya's POV

   After leaving Jesse's office I went to my art room to zone out for a little while. Being in such a good mood, I decided to draw a little bit and listen to some music. I went to my spotify app to play Chase Atlantic's new album. Then set my phone down, grabbed a pencil and set about drawing Jesse. He is such a good looking man and I knew my drawing wouldn't hold a candle to the real thing but I was feeling inspired. 

   A little while later I hear a knock on the door. I walk over to it and see Jasmine and Tawny standing there. 

   "Hey Taya, I just wanted to hang out for a bit. Whatcha doing?", Tawny asked. 

   "Hey guys, um not much just drawing a little bit and chilling out", I replied feeling very weird about Jasmine being here with Tawny and I. 

   Tawny walked over to my drawing pad and looked at me in shock, "damn girl, you've got some real talent! This looks just like Alpha Jesse". 

   "It does, darling. I've seen that face millions of times and you did very well. Although he does have a mole just there", Jasmine pointed to his neck, "you must've missed that". 

   Of course she has his moles memorized. I tell her, "oh I haven't forgotten, it's not finished just yet".

   She smiles at me and Tawny gives us a questioning look. I drop it not wanting to cause a scene and ask, "so what do you want to do, watch a movie"?

   Tawny said, "actually Jasmine asked me to go to the gym with her we wanted to know if you would like to come. Maybe spar with us since you are going to be the Luna soon".

   Jasmine rolls her eyes at the "Luna" part. I smirk at her, "sure thing chicken bean, let me go change I'll meet you guys in the gym in like 5 minutes". 

  I go upstairs to Jesse and I's room and change into a sports bra and leggings. Then put a sport tee on top. I put my long curly hair up into a nice bun on top of my head and go to meet the girls. 

   Tawny and Jasmine are sparing so I watch a little bit. Jasmine is definitely going easy on Tawny and she is still kicking her ass. I'm a little nervous because I've never really fought anyone. Jasmine is obviously very skilled. They keep fighting until Jasmine pins Tawny and then Tawny gets up panting. 

   "Well I guess you're leader of the warriors for a reason", Tawny says laughing with Jasmine. 

   "Yeah, Jesse trusted me with that job and I'm forever grateful to him because of it. I got to work hard to make sure he's always proud of his warrior leader", Jasmine says. 

   Gah! I just can't stand her she's always talking about him and I just hate it. "Well, what do y'all want me to do? I mean I'm just a human. I can't keep up with you guys like that", I tell them. 

   Jasmine says, "don't worry, I'll go really really easy on you". She smiles a fake smile that doesn't reach her eyes and I'm instantly annoyed. Even still, I start to walk towards her as Tawny walks off of the mat. 

   Right now I'm wishing I would have just stayed in my room drawing and listening to Mitchel's beautiful voice sing to me through spotify. But no, instead I'm about to fight a she-wolf that hates my guts. 

   We square off and suddenly she runs up on me, I kick my foot out and nail her on the shoulder. She looks at me, surprised. "Well look at you. You do know a little something", she taunts me. 

   We circle each other for a little bit. She fakes left then swings right and her fist connects with my neck and lower jaw. It hurts like a bitch. She sends a flurry of shots to my lower abdomen and it knocks the air from me. She ends her attack with a roundhouse kick to my head which I dodge barely simultaneously falling backwards on my butt from trying to dodge. She takes that opportunity to twist my arm at an ungodly angle and pin me. 

   "Well isn't this fun? Kinda kinky, I wonder if Jesse has had you like this because it's certainly a fun position with him isn't it? I mean he's definitely the kinkiest man I've ever been with", she whispers breathing harshly in my ear. 

   I muster up all of my strength and jump up then run out of the room. 

   I hear Tawny yell after me then ask Jasmine what's wrong. I don't hear Jasmine's reply because I'm already at the elevator. 

   I can't breathe and it's not becasue of the ass beating I just got. Jesse and Jasmine have had sex. He lied to me. He told me I had nothing to worry about while he knew that he had fucked her. I open the elevator doors and push the button repeatedly as if that will make the elevator reach Jesse's office any faster. 

   I walk up to Jesse's door with my heart pounding then walk in without knocking. He is sitting at his desk and when he looks at me he smiles, then he sees the un-shed tears in my eyes. He stands up looking concerned and I yell, "no, stay there. Don't touch me". 

   He looks confused. I can feel the tears spilling over on to my cheeks. I take a deep breath and then ask, "You and Jasmine, huh"?
