BELLA

"BREAK!" Alpha Loisel yelled.

I sighed in relief and collapsed on the ground tiredly. Sweat dripped from every pore of my body as the training session of today came to an end.

It has been two weeks since we last came here and started training to make ourselves prepare for the worst.

"Bels? Are you okay?"

Through my blurred vision, I saw Onyx crouching in front of me and shaking my shoulders.

I managed to nod my head while struggling to take deep whiffs of air. "Damn, human. You're too weak to be good." I heard teddy mumble from beside me.

"Hey, she kicked your ass yesterday, remember?" Mason mumbled from the other side of me.

"Ass?" Teddy's tone held confusion.

I chuckled or more like cackled before trying to explain him. "Your-your--" I breathed in deeply before continuing, "--butt."

"Hey! You didn't kick my butt! You only knocked me down by kind of snapping my head." He spoke, offended.

People around me laughed and started chatting with one another.

Mason chuckled and handed me a bottle of water. "Here, drink this."

I shook my head and whispered, "We shouldn't immediately drink water after doing exercise."

"Oh dear, it has been ten minutes since the training was over. So, you may have a sip of it." A motherly, gentle tone reached my ears.

I sat straight and greeted her, "Hi, Orchida..." I trailed off the sentence as I needed water to touch my tongue.

I gulped the bottle and kept it gentle beside me. Blinking my eyes, I opened them properly and searched for Xanthos.

"Where's Xanthos?" I asked worriedly as he used to be the first person who would meet me after my training session.

I heard a girly squeal and someone's hands closing my eyes. "Ahh! Xanthos is cheating on you, human!" Teddy exclaimed and whispered, "how disgusting of him! Just look at his body--"

What? Was Xanthos kissing someone or something?

I swatted Teddy's hands away from my eyes and stared at the scene wide-eyed.

There, Xanthos was squatting down as though he was preparing himself to run. Sweat drops fell off of his hair and ran down his chiselled physique. He lifted his hands and wiped the sweat off of his chest. He turned his head to his left and nodded to the person who was too squatting beside him.
