The pair have been weirdly and annoyingly nice all day. They went as far as telling Cindy and her goons off this morning and hovered around the rest of the day until it was time to leave for Red Moon, to which they even tried to tag along but I managed to put my foot down enough for them to leave me alone. I had texted Aleisha and told her to meet me at a different spot today. On my way through the town yesterday I had noticed an amazing mountain face within their land, and I was on the spot determined we would climb that. Aleisha had her mate Tommy drop her off and once he was sure we would be fine he left.

“So, what are we learning today? Please tell me it’s some of that bad ass knife stuff.”

“Nope, today girly, we’re climbing that.” I point behind me to the step as fuck mountain.

Aleisha laughs, hard, doubling over to support herself on her knees. She wipes a stray tear and stops when she sees by dead serious face.

“You’re kidding, right?”

“Not at all. It’ll be fun!”

“This is your idea of…fun? How is this even learning anything? When am I going to have to scale a mountain to save someone’s life?”

I shrug. “It’s about endurance in your human form. You’re not always going to be able to shift, you need to tone this form as much as your wolf’s.”

“Ughhhhhh. Okay, but we’re getting milkshakes after this, okay?”

“Whatever you say. Come on.”

The climb isn’t horrible, not for me at least. Aleisha though, even with her wolf is sweating profusely.

“You know, you’d think being an alpha’s daughter he would have trained to a little better than this.” I playfully taunt her to encourage her to take the last few meters to the top.

“He trained me, he didn’t torture me!”

“Come on, the view is great up here, you’re going to miss the sunset!”

She hauls ass for a little longer and I grab her hand when she’s in reach to pull her up.

“Wow.”

“Nice, isn’t it?” I pass her a bottle of water and we take a seat on the edge on the mountain.

“Hey, how is your bike already at the top?”

“I parked up here and made my way down to meet you as a warm up.”

“That’s a ridiculous warm up.”

“Hmm, maybe.”

“And you brought a second helmet?” She grins.

“Yeah. I thought maybe you’d want to take a ride?”

She squeals and tackles me into the grass we’re already sitting on. Shaking my shoulders like a crazy lady. “Oh my god, YES YES YES! My brothers would NEVER allow me on a bike!”
