November 14th

"Any progress on calming the fuck down?" I asked as I handed Leo a cup of coffee over the back of the sofa.

He had been sat there staring at the floor for a while now, his head in his hands.

"Not really," he replied gruffly.

"You're tense," I said resting my hands on his shoulders, "Are you absolutely sure you don't want to tell me what's going on with the rogues? It might help."

"I am sure," he replied.

"Then what do you want to do?" I asked, "You can't just sit here wallowing for the rest of the day."

"I've got things to think about, Ella," he said.

"Things to stress over you mean," I replied, "Xander, Haden, rogues, your Dad-"

"I know," he interrupted, "You don't need to remind me."

I took my hands off his shoulders and wrapped them around his neck, resting my head on his shoulder.

"Alpha Xander is not causing any trouble at the moment," I began, "Haden isn't physically capable of doing so, your Dad can suck my dick and I'm sure whatever is happening with the rogues is nothing this pack can't handle."

He sighed and leant back to look up at me.

"I know what to do," he said, "I owe you a self-defence class don't I?"

I grinned, "Yes. You do."

"Come on them," he announced standing up, "Let's do it."

Ten minutes later we were out in the forest just beyond the house.

"Alright," he said, "Try to punch me."

"For real?" I asked.

He nodded and stood infront of me waiting.

"Okay..." I replied.

I clenched my fist before punching my fist forward.

He caught my hand, and twisted me around, bending my arm behind my back and shoved me face forward into a tree.

"Jesus Christ, Leo!" I exclaimed.

"That was pathetic," he replied releasing me, "Try again but this time, throw your body weight into it to add more force. And don't swing like a lunatic. You want it straight and powerful, okay?"

I nodded, adjusted my stance and before this time launching my self forward with my fist.copy right hot novel pub
