Chapter 13
Aderyn Pov
As I was standing near the window, the cool breeze hitting my face made me feel better. The sweats that were forming on my forehead made me feel cold. I was panting continuously due to the heavy practice I just did.
I looked back and eyed the piece scattered in the floor. Sand everywhere. The thing which was previously called a Sandbag was scattered into pieces by none other but me. It wasn't new to me. That was the reason why I brought more than one sandbags. I looked down at my gloves and got rid of it.
I cannot practice in my room. I need a big place. Somewhere bigger and open space. I have to clean all this mess now.
It took me some minutes and finally I was done cleaning the room. Folding the already of no use sandbag, I kept it into a bag that I had. I will dispose it later.
I had been practicing since last two hours. Now I am hungry and sweaty.
I took a long shower and wrapped up my hair with a towel. I wore a black bathrobe and went out of my bathroom to my room.
I was just about to walk into my walk in closet when my eyes felt on the open drawer. I remember closing it before going for a bath. With furrowed eyebrows, I went there and checked the medicines, stuffs messily scattered. It wasn't how I kept things. I believed upon disciplinary and hence my things were always clean and neat, kept in right place.
“Bell” I spoke feeling a presence behind me.
"Ahhhh” she screamed and with an amused smile I turned around to find her holding an ointment and her another hand clutching her chest, her eyes widened.
"Ho- How did you know?” She stuttered asking me her question.
I shrugged my shoulders and with a serious look told her pointing towards the draw “clean it".
She gave me a sheepish grin but nodded and walked to the drawer arranging the things back in its place.
I glanced her way and turned around walking inside the walk in closet. I chose to wear a slacks today with long sleeves and baggy Brown shirt. My hair was damp so I left it open to let it dry on its own.
"Alpha wants to see you” she spoke out of nowhere
"What for?” I snapped. I hated hearing anything about him.
“I don't know“she shrugged her shoulders.
“No wait! Tell me how did you know that he wants to see me when you didn’t even use a phone?” I asked her suspiciously and she stared at me for some minutes probably thinking of an appropriate answer
“He told me when I was coming here. I remembered it now. It just slip out of my mind” she told me and sat on the bed, flipping channels in Tv.
“When does he wants to” I said air quoting the words “see me?” I asked to which she gave me an amused look.
"After an hour” she spoke and I nodded flopping on to the bed next to her.
When I found my hair completely dry, I braided it sideways. I wore my canvas and we both went out of the room after locking the door, we went to “see” the Alpha Idiot.
Upon reaching his room, I noticed some guys. They were talking to Dylan and as usual Dylan was throwing orders on them. We waited for their conversation to get over.
After five minutes of waiting, finally the body builder dudes went away but not before throwing a glance our way.
“Alpha” Bell spoke and he signaled us to come in.
We went in and waited for him to speak.
“Sit” he told us and we quietly sat on the chair while he sat on his behind his wooden desk.
"Why do you wanted to" I asked air quoting the words “see me” sweetly making Bell choking a laugh.
“Miss Brooke-" he began but I cut him off “Call me Aderyn”. How many days was he planning on to maintain the formalities?
He gave me a look and spoke “Miss Brookes” making me roll my eyes.
"Miss Brookes I have appointed a trainer for you" he told me and I have him a look as if he had two horns in his head.
"What trainer?” I asked my voice suspicious.
“Trainer means he will teach you how to fight” he told me and I couldn’t control myself. I busted out laughing, clutching my stomach.
He kept quiet and gave me a weird look while Bell touched my arm trying to silent me.
Finally when I was done, I composed myself saying a quiet “Sorry” and questioned “Trainer? Fight? What for?”
“Miss Brookes we have loads of enemy and I don't think that we will be always present to save you from them. Hence, I have decided to train you. At least you should know the basic so that you can put up a fight when you are in trouble till we reach you” he told me and I seriously wanted to get up from my place and slap him across his face.
"What if I deny to train?” I asked him leaning against my chair, Bell giving me a pleading look to stop.
“Then I am afraid that I have to give you security. You cannot go out of your room without security guards” he told me and gave me a smirk knowing that I will never agree upon this.
“Fine 1 will" I said air quoting again “Train”. He gave me a satisfied look and was about to speak something but stopped when I showed him my palms to stop.
"Only when you give me an answer” I told him, my friendly behavior long gone, with a serious look warning him not to lie.
His expression changed to a surprising one but as usual he masked it quickly as it came. "Answers?" He spoke and I nodded.
"What type of Enemies do you have and why do you have enemies and what is the real reason behind this training?” I spoke and I was sure I saw him getting tensed under my gaze.
He never expected me to ask such questions for sure.
“Enemies uh you will know soon” he told me and I was really irritated.
Though I expected him to give me appropriate answer but somehow I found myself getting irritated.
I gave him a cold look and he averted his gaze to some of his papers that were lying in his desk. “Mr Bishop” I spoke and he looked up at me with a raised eyebrow.
I stared at him for some seconds but said “Nothing”.
He gave me an questioning look and I was sure he wanted to know what I wanted to ask but he never pushed.
“Take her to the Gym room after Thirty minutes” Dylan spoke more like ordered Bell and she nodded.
“Miss Brookes you can wear something uh you know appropriate for the training” though I wanted to roll my eyes I nodded.
“That's all” he said and we both got up from our seats and began to exit.
“Aderyn” he called and I looked back at him surprised
“Uh Don't wear anything revealing or which would show skin” he said giving me a warning look. Bell chuckled beside me and I began to thought what is his problem if I wear anything revealing.
I gave him a half smile and walked out of his room. Man I had to train now. What in the world does everyone in here have the problem with me?
Sighing, I walked back to my room and went through every cloth that was appropriate. I am not doing this because Dylan asked me but the fact that I wanted a bigger room for practice. There is profit in this. I will be practicing with the trainers that means the best hence I will be improvising more.
Generally I never wore revealing clothes hence I don't even have any. So, I decided to wear a half sleeve black camisole and above it a black tank top. I matched it with a Pink fit sports slacks and slipped on my shoes. I made pleats in my hair and tied it back so, that it wouldn't disturb me while training.
I checked myself on the mirror and found myself ready. With a satisfactory smile I waited for Bell to take me to this gym room.
