*Lilly's pov*

I put my head to the side in surrender. Was he going to really hurt me? Should I trust him? He sniffed at my neck.

Then he stared at the mark he gave me. Then I realized something. I don't have to hurt Deon. I just have to protect myself.

I looked at him with my infamous blank face. Then I headbutted him and pushed him to my floor.

"Ouch." He said. I stared at him. He looked up at me. "Do you trust me?" He asked. I shook my head.

"Do you trust me?" I asked. He nodded. I sighed. He sighed. I stared at him again.

"Get off my floor." I said. He laughed. I smiled. "Go to bed. I have training in the morning."

"You?" He asked. "Yeah, I'm training people." I said. "Oh. That makes a lot more sense." I rolled my eyes.

He left and I fell asleep. I woke up early and got ready. I walked out the door and Kyla was walking towards me.

We walked to the training field. People stood in front of us. "This is Lilly. She will be the main trainer."

I stood tall. "Few rules. Don't talk back. Don't whine. And don't give up. Let's get started."

"How could you possibly be better than Kyla!" Someone yelled. There were murmurs. "Who said that?" I asked.

I walked through the field of people. "If you don't tell me who you are, there will be a punishment." I explained.

A hand rose. I walked over to it. "I did." The man said. "I actually think I'm better than you." He said.

"Fight me." I said. "No, I don't want to hurt you." He said. "Na. You're just scared I'll beat you." I provoked.

There were some ohh's and ahh's. The man stood proud. "Fine. But you have to throw the first punch." He said.

"Sure." I said. He got in his fighting stance. I threw a kick and a punch and he was on the ground.

I kneeled on his stomach. "Don't question my skills. Got it?" I asked. He nodded. "Bring him the the hospital."

I stood and walked to the front again. "Any more challenges?" I asked. Everyone was silent. Then Kyla spoke.

"She is much, much, better than me. Just believe me when I say that." She said. People nodded.

"First we will work on class. Who's strongest, who needs to learn more. You will have a test for the next few weeks." I explained.

"Get a partner and start practicing. I will come around and make comments." I said. People chose partners and fought with each other.

I looked around and they all looked like they had no idea what they were doing. "Stand taller." I said to one pair.

"Chin up."

"Eyes forward."

"Up!"

At the end of the day people hated me. But they can't bitch about it. They don't know anything.

"Training at five tomorrow!" I yelled. "And we're out." Kyla said. "Damn. You work hard." She said.

"Yeah." I said. "What's wrong?" She asked. I shook my head and walked in. I walked up to my room. Deon was at the door.

He looked up. We stared at each other. "I forgot you were doing training." He said. I shrugged.

I looked at the ground. What was he doing here? He walked over and I looked up.

"Long day, hmmm?" I nodded. "Then go to sleep. But let's eat dinner first." He proposed. I shrugged again.

He grabbed my hand and dragged me back downstairs. We entered the kitchen and he started dinner.

We had the famous Mac and Cheese. It was actually very good. I stood and cleaned my plate. Deon did as well.

We headed back upstairs. I stood at my door. Should I let him in? Will he try to kill me if I do? Should I just trust him?

I opened my door and let him in. We sat and talked for a while. I got tired after a while. I sink into my bed while listening to him.

"Tired?" He asked. At this point I could barely keep my eyes open. "Nope." I scratched out.

My eyes closed and I felt a blanket fall over me and a dip in the bed. I was too tired to care. Plus, I have to get up early for training tomorrow.

*****************

I woke and looked at the clock. 4:27 in the morning. I better get ready. I got up and saw Deon had left.

I got ready and walked out. I headed to the training field and waited for people to show up.

Once everyone was here, we got started. "Okay. This is how the test will go. You will fight in your human form. When I say so, you will fight in your wolf form. Find a partner and fight."

They did as told and I waited. Each pair came up and told me who won. They went into separate groups.

It was almost time to go by the time we finished. "We will finish early today. Tomorrow you will get with the same partners and fight in wolf form."

People left and I was the last one on the field. I walked inside and to my room. I needed a shower.

I grabbed some clothes and a towel. I started the water and closed and locked both doors. I stepped into the shower.

Once I was finished, I dressed in my comfy bottoms and a tank top. I looked in my cracked mirror.

My mark. It was still the design. I sighed. I touched it and it sent pleasures down my spine.

I shook my head and walked to the main part of the room. I smelt Deon on the other side of the door.

I opened the door. There he was. His eyes landed on my mark. I covered it up with some hair and looked at the ground.

"Hey. I don't care about that anymore. As long as I'm with you." I looked up and he was smiling. I gave a small smile.

I let him in and we talked. We talked until I was tired. "That's how Kyla and I met. Along with Harlem." I said.

"Who's Harlem?" He asked. My eyes widened. "Just a friend." I said quickly. He raised an eyebrow. "Sure?"

"Yes. His mate is Carla." I explained. He nodded. My eyes drooped. "You wanna sleep?" He asked and stood. I nodded.

I wouldn't see the point in not telling the truth. My eyelids were falling down my face.

I fell to my side and stayed there. Deon put the blanket over me. He bent over and kissed my forehead.

"Night."
