Rachel’s P.O.V.

When I woke up the next day, the sun was just rising over the horizon so I hurriedly pulled on some grey sweatpants, a black sports bra and my trainers. Hayden and I decided to spend the night in the pack house with Holden so I didn’t have to go drop him off with Rebecca before training. I threw my hair up into a high ponytail before quickly going over to kiss Holden’s forehead and peck Hayden’s lips whispering “I’ll see you soon” then I left the pack house, heading for the training clearing where I knew Caine was already waiting.

“You’re late” Caine announced when I was the last to jog into the clearing. I glanced at Brice who was leaning up against a nearby tree with his arms crossed over his chest “Yeah sorry I-.” I didn’t get to finish my sentence when Caine turned his back on me and ordered “Give me a hundred push ups, crunches and pull ups” my jaw dropped but I nodded my head and bowed it to show my respect.

“Yes Alpha” I agreed dropping to the floor to get started on a hundred push ups. Caine wasn’t a father figure in training, he was an Alpha and a trainer who was programed to form us into the perfect soldiers.

“Brice! Liam! You’re up” Caine announced, jerking his head in the direction of the clearing. The Beta and Gamma stepped up and got into position while I was on push ups with one arm behind my back.

“Winner gets a round with Rachel” Caine suddenly added, glancing at me out of the corner of his eye just as I switched arms. Brice shot me one look and I could see the determination in his eyes.

“Now fight!” Caine bellowed when no one moved and in a split second Liam charged forward. He aimed his fist at Brice but the Beta dodged and knocked Liam back with an uppercut to the face. I glanced at the fight every now and then to see who was winning in between my counting. I was at seventy by the time Liam landed a side kick to Brice’s leg, forcing Caine’s Second in Command down onto one knee and giving Liam the perfect advantage to send his fist colliding with the side of Brice’s face.

“Son of a bitch” Brice bit out when he was finished spitting blood and wiped the back of his hand along his mouth. Liam looked determined to win as he waited for Brice’s next attack which was a simple trip then a kick to the stomach causing Liam to roll over and onto his back.

“Hundred” I said then moved onto crunches without breaking my pace. Caine and Drake shared a look as they glanced in my direction then focused back onto the fight. Liam was back on his feet, facing Brice with his hands balled at his sides before he lunged at the Beta using his shoulder to ram Brice into the ground. Brice didn’t even have time to process what was happening when Liam sent fist after fist colliding with his jaw. It was clear that Liam’s strong point was that he was fast while Brice’s was strategy, his ability to think things through in a fraction of a second. Brice quickly kicked up, flipping Liam over top of him and onto his back so that Brice could flip the roles and start pounding down on Liam’s face instead.

“Common Liam!” Drake called but I could see the look in Caine’s eyes. He wanted Brice to win for some reason and Brice noticed when he got distracted by Drake’s words of encouragement. It gave Liam a chance to send a kick to Brice’s chest, forcing him to stumble back enough so that Liam could send his fist into Brice’s gut. I was going on fifty crunches when Brice managed to catch one of Liam’s flying fists and force him to his knees by holding Liam’s arm behind his back. The scene from the time I killed for the first time on Titan territory flashed through my mind but I pushed it back as Brice jabbed his knee into Liam’s back and forced his opponent into the ground.

“Give up yet?” Brice asked grinning down at Liam with a bloody nose, bruised lip, swollen cheek and split brow.

“Screw you!” Liam snapped leaning back to slam the back of his head into Brice’s face, causing him to fall back and release Liam who instantly whirled round to punch Brice again.
