Mason's POV

On my way home,Hayes thought it would be a good idea to hit the gym tonight.I wasn't fully excited about it since I already had a small training session with my dad.

''Hey who knows, maybe we'll see some hot chick.'' Hayes said while the guys whistled.

''Jesus you guys,can't keep it in your pants?''I laughed at them.

We arrived at the gym.It wasn't very big nor small. It was a decent size for people to come in and do what they please.

When we walked in we settled in one corner as Tyler spoke up.''Dude look at her.'' he exclaimed at the girl with her back towards us.

''Holy shit...'' Ashton and Hayes said together.

''Damn,who is she?'' I said while my eyes looked her up and down.

We continued to watch her like creeps until she whispers something to the guy shes with and starts looking through her bag. At that moment I didn't care what she was looking for, all I wanted to see was her face.My eyes scrunched up at the though of how I could t hear their conversation.But yet I didn't pay attention as I waited for her to turn around.

As if she read my mind, she turned around and my jaw dropped.The girl in front of me had blueish-green eyes, well built body, and nice soft plump lips. I looked over to the guys and saw them staring at her. I need to find out who she is before these assholes beat me to it.

Alex's POV

As I watched Jason separate the variety of dung bells, I glanced at the boys in the corner and saw them staring at me. I send them a little wink as I turned back around.

''Ok so this is what you're gonna do.'' Jason said as he stepped in front of the weights.''Each dung bell going this way gets heavier,so you're gonna start from the five pound weight and make it all the way to the thirty pound, ok?'' He said and I nodded.

I bent down an picked the five pound weights.''Ok now with each different weight you're gonna do twenty arm curls.''

I placed my arms out so my elbows were bent and my arms faced up. Bringing them towards my body then dropping them slightly. Continuing this until I reached twenty.I then grabbed the ten pounder.They were slightly heavier but I didn't stop.Moving on to the twelve pounder was hard.

My movements slowed down but I showed no sign of stopping.Once done with that I reached the fifteen pounder.I mentally smacked myself for letting Jason choose the workouts.

*******
As I finished lifting the twenty-five pounder I moved towards the thirty pounds. I looked at the weights in front of me then at Jason.

''Come on, I know you can do it.'' He said while crossing his arms.

I bents down and picked it up. As I started doing my reps as my arms got tired. I kept fighting through the pain before I finished and dropped them at my feet.

''Good job.'' he said high fiving me.''but were not done yet.'' he said and I let out a whine.

We moved over to a bar attached to a stand. I then noticed that it was near the guys too.

''Ok if you can give me one hundred pull-ups we're done.''He said and I smiled widely.

''But...'' I frowed.''If you can't finish them, I'll add an extra mile for when we're running tomorrow.''My eyes went wide as I scowled at him.''Hey I'm only doing this because you need it.Now get your sexy ass up there.''He said and I groaned.

I walked up so I was close enough to the bar.Before I started I unzipped my sweater and tossed it at Jason.

Right when I took it off I heard the guys whistling at me.

''Damn, who knew a small girl like her looked like that.''Tyler said.

''Just imagine her flexing..''Hayes groaned.

''Jesus look at the tattoos she has.'' Mason whispered while Ashton looked at me.

It's true, I have three tattoos. One on the side of my rib cadge, one on my collar bone, and one on my left shoulder blade. I got them all for a reason, but that's a story for another time.

I jumped up and grabbed the bar. Hanging on for a second more, I started to pull myself up. While I barley reached thirty, Jason came in front of me and started shouting.

''Come on, don't you dare give up!''He growled.

I kept heaving myself up as I reached seventy. By that point my arms were ready to give up.

''You're almost there, keep pushing.'' he told me.

''10.'' he started counting down.''9.''

''8, don't you dare stop.''

''7.''

''I can't, it hurts.'' I whined but kept going.

''6.''

''5. Come on you're almost done.''

''4,3,2,1!'' he yelled as I dropped down and placed my arms on my knees to catch my breath.

My chest was burning while my heart raced. I gave Jason a high five as I opened my water bottle.

I started taking big gulps before he spoke. ''Don't you think that's enough.'' he said with a smug look.

''Shut up, you weren't the one dying.'' I smacked him on the side of the head.

''Well, your lover boys haven't stopped looking at you.'' I turned around and saw them looking at me.

''I don't care. All I want to do is go home and sleep.'' I said taking another sip.

''Yeah about that...' he said nervously.

''Were not done, are we?''

''Sorry, it was the only way I could think of getting you to finish it.''  I groaned but complied to finish my workout.

''Ok, what do I have left.''

''So, two things left. One; give me a full two minutes with the ropes,and two; we're gonna spar until I get tired, ok?"he said and I nodded.

We walked towards the side where the boys were.I was gonna ask Jason what we were doing before I saw the ropes attached to the wall.

"Excuse me, if you aren't using the ropes, would you mind moving?" Jason asked nicely.
"Hmm." Ashton said thinking."How about no.?" He told him before I stepped from behind him.

The boys eyes snapped to me."There's no need to be rude, I just want to use them for two minutes and the spot is all yours."

"Listen sweetheart, I don't think you can handle it." Hayes said innocently.
"Who are you to judge if you don't even know me."I said while placing my hands on my hips.

"Damn and she has an attitude."Tyler smirked.
"Tell you what sweetheart, if you can beat us in anything we pick, we'll give you the ropes." Mason said.

"Let's just go home, it's not worth it."I said grabbing Jason's hand.
"How about a sparring match?" Hayes asked.

I stopped dead in my tracks and turned around.
"And what makes you think I'll accept?"
"We'll I'm assuming you're into fighting judging by the tattoo you have, I'm guessing your a fan of it."

The tattoo they saw was a quote I had saying "And though she be but little,she is fierce."

(pretend that the tattoo is on the back of her left shoulder blade...)

"What makes you think I'm a fan?Everyone has these kind of quotes." I said pointing to my left shoulder blade where the tattoo was.

"I'm pretty sure there's a fighter I know that has that quote."he said trying to think.

My heart rate picked up.The fighter he's talking about is me.I always thought that since the lights were dimmed they couldn't see.

"Hey Mason what's the name of the chick that beat your ass?"he said trying to suppress a laugh.
"Lexi."he said with embarrassment.

My heart stopped beating as I looked at Jason.He just looked at me trying to tell me to calm down.

"You're masking your scent right?"he said through mind-link.
"Yeah why?"
"They're all werewolves.We need to leave."

"So, about that match sweetheart?"Mason said breaking my thoughts.

"Sorry but we have to go."Jason said in a calm voice and we turned to leave.
"Aww don't tell me you're scared!"Tyler snickered.
"Don't tease the little girl Tyler.She has to go play barbies with mommy dearest."Ashton said and I stopped walking.

They know nothing and yet they're trying to get me to crack.

"Don't listen to them, it's not worth it."Jason reassured me.
"Aww she has to have the guy protect her."Mason said in a mocking voice.

I had enough and turned around."You wanna spar?"I asked and they shook their heads."Then get your asses to the mat."I said making my way over there.

"Shit we made her mad."they laughed.

I slipped passed the ropes and stepped on the mat.Turning around, I saw Jason.

"Are you sure you wanna do this?"he questioned.

I was gonna answer but I saw Ashton listening in.So I looked at Jason and put my finger to my lips and then tapped my ear twice.He looked at me and then I pointed at Ashton, indicating he can hear us.

"Ok so how is this gonna work?"I said while they looked at me.

"You get to chose one of us to spar with you.If you win we'll leave you alone,but if you lose you owe us your phone number.Deal?" Tyler said and I nodded.

"I'll make the pick fair."I said and looked at Jason."Pass me your bag."I said and he tossed it to me.

I grabbed the bag of licorice I had and bit one.Then I handed the four pieces to Jason.
"He'll mix them up and who ever gets the shortest one fight me."I said and turned around.

Jason went over and had them each grab one.Turning back around I saw Ashton had the smallest one.

"Ooo good luck sweetheart, Ashton here is captain of the lacrosse team." Hayes smirked.
"Whatever."I rolled my eyes as Ashton got on the mat.

I tossed him a roll of sports tape towards him."What's this?" He said confused.
"Sorry big boy, I don't fight with gloves."I said and he widen his eyes at me.
"Tough girl huh."he winked at me and wrapped his hands.

"Wait."he said and took his shirt off."Don't get too distracted."he told me and winked.

Rolling my eyes he went for the first hit.I moved out of the way as he came back with a left punch.
He ended up hitting my jaw."Did I hurt you baby?"he said smirking.

I didn't speak but continued to circle around.My right hand grabbed his right shoulder while I swiftly brought my knee to his stomach.He curled down a bit from the impact but kicked my leg.I landed on the floor as he sat on me.
He went to punch my face but I moved to the side and shoved him off of me.

Suddenly,my mind remembered something.Jason said their werewolves.I mentally high fived myself.

While I was thinking, Ashton swung with his right arm and hit my eye.But that didn't stop,he kept punching me until my back was against the ropes.I had to keep my arms up to avoid the impact.

I then grabbed his wrist and spun him around so his back faced me.I bent his arm upwards while he let out a loud groan.Kicking the back of his knee hard, he fell onto the mat with me still bending his arm.

"Dude Ashton come on!" Hayes yelled.
"She's only a girl." Tyler said.
He stood up and elbowed my stomach.His leg then hit me there again and sent me flying towards the rope.Running towards me, I ducked before he could grab me.As he turned around I rammed my elbow on his nose.

He bent over and I placed my hands together.Using both my elbows, I hit his back hard enough to make him fall on the floor.

He grabbed my arm and roughly shoved me down.I stood up quickly as he went to throw another punch.

This time,my actions are quick.I avoided his hit and placed one hand on the outside of his arm and the other on the inside.Then with all my strength,I pulled on his arm and slammed his body on the mat.

I looked at him as he groaned."Anyone else by chance wanna go?"I asked as the boys looked at me with wide eyes.

"Oh,and by the way."I crouched down."I'd ice that if I were you."I pointed to his eye.
"Fuck off."he mumbled trying to stand.

I then made my way towards Jason and grabbed my stuff."A deals a deal boys.Bye."I waved them off as we left.

Mason's POV
Once the girl had left we all looked at Ashton.He was still on the mat laying face down.

"How the fuck could you let her win?"Hayes said laughing.
"Shut the fuck up!Shes stronger than she looks."he said wincing as he touched his nose.
"Dude,your nose is bleeding."I said.

He cursed under his breath and stood up.He then limped his way towards the bathroom.

"Shit, we never got her name."Tyler said.
"I don't think she would've gave it to use either way."Hayes shrugged.
"Anyways,lesson learned."I patted Ashton's back as he came and stood next to me.

"Dude don't do that,it hurts."he groaned and I looked at his back.
"How hard can that girl punch."I said looking at the bruises forming on his back.
"Fucking hard."he said and we all grabbed our stuff.

"Do you think she goes to our school?" Hayes asked.
"Nah, I would've remembered a body like that." I said plainly."Anyways,I got us tickets to a fight this Friday."I said as we reached my car.

"Dude, are you still upset that Lexi beat you?"Tyler asked.
"I need to find out who she is.Something about her intrigues me."I said.
"Aww Mason is in love."Hayes said making a heart with his fingers.

I growled at him before sliding in my car and taking off.

Alex's POV
I opened the door to the house and walked in.

"I'm going to bed."I said walk-in towards my room.
"Alex wait."he said catching up to me.He touched my face as I winced."It's gonna bruise but I think I have something for that.''

We walked passed my mother's room and heard noises.Listening in,all I heard were my moms moans and some guy grunting.

"Fucking hell."I said as they got louder."This is why I hate having super hearing."
"Dude I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight."Once he said that I heard my mom let out a loud moan.

I looked at Jason with both my eyebrows raised up and a flat look on my face.
"I think I have earplugs."he said.

We reached my room and Jason went into the bathroom and came back with a tube of cream.

He applied the cold cream near my eye and on my stomach."By the way, we have to wake up early tomorrow before school."

I looked at him."For what?"I whined.

"Greg called saying the press wants you to show off the new sports gear by Pink.So he planned for us to wear the sports clothes and take pictures,but I told him we were gonna run."
"Why the hell did you tell him that?"I said while face planting on my pillow.
"It's for publicity stuff Alex.We're just gonna run five miles and that's it.The press is gonna be there to ask questions and take pictures.Thats all we have to do."he said and I groaned.

"Fine."I agreed.
"Since you already got your leg work out today,I'll give you tomorrow off."he told me and I smiled.

"Those are the best words you've told me today."I said and he laughed at me.

"Shut up."
"Now let's sleep,because if I keep hearing the stuff my mom is making,I'm gonna get nightmares."

**next morning**

"Wake up."someone said gently in my ear.

I groaned and shoved their face away.Turning around I placed my head on the pillow.

"Wake the fuck up."Jason hissed.
"Fuck off."I groaned.

Instead of him answering,he sat on my back.
"You're heavy you know that?"I said Turning my body while he straddled my hips.
"That's mean."he said looking offended."Get up."he said getting off and tearing the blankets from me.

I looked over at the clock and my jaw dropped."When you said early I didn't mean this early."I shouted.
"Honey, it's only five twenty.People are usually up at this time."
"Yeah people not me."
"Get up."
"No."
"Alex."
"No."I said crossing my arms."I'm not going and you can't make me."I said and he looked at me.

**********

"I hate you."I mumbled as we pulled out of our drive way.
"Sorry not sorry."he said.

So Jason ended up throwing me over his shoulder like a sack of potatos.No matter how many times I hit his back he wouldn't put me down.But that's not why I'm mad.Before we were able to reach the car,Jason tumbled on the steps down the porch and dropped my flat on my butt.

"Come on Alex I can't hurt that bad."he said as we stopped at a light.
"Well the next time you get dropped three feet in the air,come tell me."I said while we reached the park.
"I'm sorry."he looked at me.
"You better be."I said while getting out.

We grabbed the bag that Jason had gotten from Greg and walked into the private bathrooms.

I headed into a stall and grabbed the outfit.Once I walked out I examined myself in the mirror.

The sports bra and yoga pants made my tan skin look flawless.But then there's my hair.

"Stupid Jason."I mumbled.He didn't even give me time to do my hair.

I grabbed a brush from the bag I had and put my hair in a pony tail.When I placed the brush back I noticed my mask was I there.Placing my mask on I walked out with the bag and saw Jason waiting for me.

Jason was wearing a pair of grey joggers and a white tank top marked by Calvin Klein."How come you didn't get the same brand as me."I said while walking over to him.

"Greg thought it would be a good idea if we showed off two different companies."

I heard the clicks of cameras and people shouting.On my right I saw the press making their way towards us.

"That's our cue."Jason said as he placed his sunglasses on.

We took off running along the path.Each way we went the were groups of people snapping photos.People who recognized 'Lexi' joined the jog with me and Jason.

Once we finished the run I placed my hands above my head to slow my breathing down.Beads of sweat formed on my forehead as some dripped down.

"Lexi!Is the rumor true that you're secretly dating your trainer." A man asked me holding a microphone to my face.

I made my voice sound different from my normal one Incase someone I knew saw this."No it isn't, me and Jay are just really close.''

Jay is the name we agreed to call him. Just incase someone saw me in public as Alex, they wouldn't be able to recognize Jason.

''Lexi, is it true you're not human?''

''Are you in a relationship?''

''How old are you?''

''Where do you go to school?''

Everyone was bombarding me with questions. The press had continued to get answers to their questions.

''Do you have any siblings?''

''I...um, I can't answer that sorry.'' I said trying not to show any emotions.

After a few more minutes, someone tapped my shoulder.

''Hey we got to leave if you wanna make it to school on time.'' Jason whispered in my ear and nodded.

''I had a great time but I must leave.'' I  said putting on a black sweater and pulling the hoodie on.

''Lexi, who are you really?''

''Why do you hide your identity?!''

''Whats your real name?''

''Do you hide your true identity because you're scared of people judging you.

They kept getting closer as the questions they asked got more personal.For some reason this set off my wolf instincts. As they kept yelling out questions I kept walking back. Out of no where, one of the people with cameras reached out and tried to snatch my mask. As he tried to retreat his hand, I made sure to grab his wrist.

He looked at me and tried to pull back. I looked at him with a stone cold face before growling low. Jason was able to hear me before grabbing me and running off to the car.

Once we got out of the park he sped home.

I was having a hard time controlling myself. Looking at my hands I saw my nails grow.

''Calm down.'' Jason told me as he swerved around cars.

''I can't, I'm trying.'' I said as I looked at my phone screen.

My reflection appeared. My eyes were glowing, my teeth were bared and I felt this pain around my head.

'What's happening?'' I said while I placed my hands on my head to calm me down.

''When was the last time you shift?'' he said frantically pulling into our driveway.

''Last month.'' I said running out of the car inhumanly fast.

My knees landed on the grass as my body became hot. I fiddled with the sweater and struggled to get it off. I growled loudly and ripped it down the middle. I let out another growl as my headache increased.

''Hey, hey. Look at me.'' Jason came in front of me and squatted down to my eye level.

(Just pretend that her eyes are an amber color )
He lifted my chin up and stared into my eyes. By this point I had tears in my eyes and I was panting. A shot of pain jolted in my stomach and I yelled clutching myself.

Jason looked around to see if anyone was around. He then picked me up and rushed into the house.

''It hurts.'' I said and he tried to calm me down.

My body felt as if I was getting burned. My head was beating and I was about to lash out. The pain was too intense for me.

Jason busted into the bathroom and placed me in the tub. He quickly turned the water cold as he grabbed the shower head and rinsed my body. It helped with the pain but it wasn't enough. I grabbed the end of the tub and gripped it as hard as I could. When I looked down at my hands, I saw the tub starting to dent as I gripped it even harder.

Jason grabbed my face again. He looked into my amber eyes with his glowing yellow ones. I kept looking at him as my breathing slowed down. He stood up never breaking eye contact and pulled me up.
Something about his eyes and dominance made me calm down.Once my breaths had finally slowed down he hugged me.He held me tight as I placed my head on his chest.

"Are you ok?" He said stepping back.
"I think so.Why did that happen?"I asked him just as him phone dinged.

He looked at it then looked at me."Because tonight's a full moon."he said and I got mad.
"I fucking hate days like these!I have no control over what I do,what I say to people or my anger!" I yelled as my eyes flickered from an amber to blue."Every single month we have to go throw excruciating pain just to shift-"I wanted to continue before Jason let out a low growl.

I instantly shut up and looked at him."I know it's hard for you considering you're young but trust me,"he grabbed my hands."I'll get better as you get older." He said and I sighed.
"What time is the moon full this time."I said walking to my bed and rummaging my drawer for painkillers.

"Around eleven."He looked at me as I took the pills."Please tell me you're not planning to go to school today?"
"Jason I have to. There's a big test coming up and I still need to learn as much as I can."I said getting up and looking for my clothes.
"Alex I don't think it's a good idea.Being at school when it's a full moon tonight can mess with your temper, and from what I saw in the bathroom yours is very bad."
"I have to go Jason, I need to be able to get into collage so we can move out of this place."

"I told you we have enough money from fighting to move."he tried to reason.
"Jason we don't have enough to even buy ourselves a decent apartment let alone rent a hotel."
"I'll use the money I have from when I fought."he said and I shook my head.
"Jason no, you earned that money I can't take it from you."I said and walked to him.

Grabbing his cheeks in my hands."Ill be fine,if something goes wrong you'll be the first person I contact ok?"I said and he nodded.

He pulled me in for a hug before placing a kiss on my forehead."I just hate seeing you in pain,it hurts my heart you still can't control when you shift."he said careering my hair.
"How much longer until I can?"I asked.
"Not long but you have to learn and trust me it sucks."

"Why?" I asked.
"Now is not the time.Go get ready,I'll give you a ride."he said and left my room.

I looked in my mirror and saw how my hair stuck to my forehead.Now I really need to dry myself before I leave.

*couple minutes later*

Just as I placed my fake glasses on.

Well,they're not completely fake because I use them to read but I don't need them all the time.

My phone went off and I looked at the screen.

'Hey Alex honey, I need you in the diner to night babe, I can't stay late today so can you please come!Melanie is gonna help you close the diner.Im really sorry for texting you about in now but something came up.I hope you can under stand mija.
-Lupita
I sighed deeply. Lupita is a middle aged Spanish women who used to babysit me when I was 14. She gave me a job at Mel's Diner when I tried helping my mom. I worked with her for three years and she treats me as her own daughter.
Yes there's times where she's not the nicest but I still love her as my own mother.Only because my real one doesn't bother with me.Also during the years, she taught me Spanish so I'll be able to get paid more for being bilingual.

And let me tell you it's awesome.Being able to speak in Spanish around others is something I love.I even cursed out a couple who pissed me off and they didn't understand me.My accent also sounded better.Now I can speak and sound like Lupita.

But the matter at hand now wasn't that fun.

I tossed my phone on the bed before groaning.Ill have to deal with high schoolers who know how to get me worked up AND deal with annoying customers.

If I can make it through today with out killing anyone, Channing freaking Tatum better show up at my door shirtless.
I walked out the front door and saw Jason waiting for me.

Let the hell day being...
