Chapter 25

I kept punching the punching bag as my muscles flinched in pain but I kept pushing all my frustrations on the punching bag.

I can't keep this act of depression and self-pity in me. It makes me feel weak and useless.

I can't keep my thoughts focused and emotions locked up feeling the way I do.

I kept on throwing punches at the punching bag until it broke, hitting the floor with a loud thud.

I groan in frustration, kicking the bag angrily, and feeling the ache of my bones.

I sauntered to my room needing a bath because I stink of sweat.

I enter my room sniffing the sweet scent of honey and banana. "I really missed the privacy of this room," I say with a loud sigh.

I walk into the bathroom, removing my clothes, and putting them in the washing machine before getting the water ready. I enter the tub, feeling the warm water easing my muscles.

I do my daily routine before walking out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body that stops below my butt.

I walk out to see Lawrence standing comfortably in my room wearing a gray and black jacket and a white T-shirt tucked into black jeans. His hair swoops upwards giving a look that he just woke up.

"What are you doing here?" I ask, holding my towel tightly.

He looked my way with his eyes dark with lust and running over my body.

He kept quiet, walking towards me like a predator going for his prey.

"Are you done gawking at me?" I ask with a playful smirk.

His eyes snap to my face with a smirk playing on his lips.

I bit my lower lip, stopping myself from giving him a smile. Waves of pleasure and lust wash over my body.

"Why can't I when you are trying to seduce me?" he says, repeating my words while staring at my lips.

"You know this is my room right, and you entered without asking. So, I don't get why you think I'm seducing you when I had no idea you were in my room," I scoff staring at him intensely.

"Anyway, I have work today, so I won't be with you until later in the afternoon," he says wistfully.

"Okay, I don't need you anyway," I say smugly.

He wraps his hand around my waist and his other hand strokes my cheek gently.

"What are you doing?" I ask with a shaky breath.

But he ignores me. I stiffen and my breath hitched as he nests his face on my neck, running the tip of his nose against the side of my neck.

I bite the inside my cheek to stop a moan from escaping as he continues running his face along my neck, sending lusty thoughts through my mind.

His breath on my tender skin sends waves of shock into my body, I bite my cheek harder feeling the taste of blood on my tongue.

My gaze falls on my hands, wrapped protectively on my towel, which brings me back to my senses.

I shove him gently away, already missing his touch. "Lawrence if this a joke, I will kick you in the balls," I say harshly but all my body wants is to kiss those pink lips and pull him closer until there's no space between our bodies.

"Relax. I was just trying to rub my scent on you so everyone knows you are my mate," he says casually.

I gave him a look that says 'are you serious right now?'

"I prefer marking you because it will last forever," he says with a wink.

"What?" I ask, shocked.

"See you later, love, and don't you dare leave this mansion," he whispers in my ear before walking out of my room.

I release the breath I never knew I was holding.

I enter my closet, changing into gray ripped sweatpants, and a gray hoodie since today is going be a lazy day. Then I put my hair into a low ponytail before putting on my slip-on white canvas shoes.

I walk out of the room towards the kitchen for breakfast since Becca and Lillian are busy having fun without me.

I serve myself some cheese omelet and a glass of milk. I place it on the counter and take a seat on the stool.

I eat in silence for a few minutes before hearing voices coming towards the kitchen.

I glance up to see Levi and Anderson arguing about who had the funniest childhood. What a weird subject to debate.

"Hey guys," I say casually.

"How are you feeling now?" Levi asks sitting on one of the stools while Anderson dishes himself some food.

"Okay, just bored," I say nonchalantly.

From what I have been told, Levi is the last pup of the Clifford's, and he's just 17 years old, while Lawrence is 22 years old.

At a very young age, he took over from his father as the greatest lycan king.

"So during the full moon, what do you guys do?" I ask out of curiosity because in alpha Janes pack they usually run under the full moon.

"We just have a bonfire night and when the full moon comes out, we all run under it to thank the Moon Goddess," Anderson says stuffing his mouth with food.

I just sit and finish my food while Levi and Anderson keep on arguing over silly things.

I decided to have some fun instead of dying of boredom so I left the mansion. I don't care what Lawrence says because he doesn't expect me to just sit around doing nothing.

"Kate, over here," a little voice calls. I turn towards the little voice and see Rebecca, the little girl I helped get her brother's ball. "Kate would you mind playing with us?" she asks, grinning happily.

I can't say no to this cute lovely girl. "Yes, I would love to play with you," I say playfully pinching her cheeks.

She tugged me toward a group of pups. "This my brother, Riley," she says pointing towards a little boy with blonde hair like hers and blue eyes, while hers are forest green.

"This is Kate, the pretty lady who helped get your ball," she says as she hits him lightly on his stomach.

"The girl who helped you?" he asked looking me over before sticking his hand out for a handshake. What a polite little boy.

I gave him a fake smile as I shook his hand.

She showed me all her friends, introducing me as the girl who helped her.

I am so tired after running so much and the pups were cute and friendly.
