From Rougue To Luna novel Chapter 47

They each nodded and stormed out of the office with purpose. I took a calming breath and followed behind, heading to my room to grab a quick shower before heading down to eat and head to the training center to oversee the upcoming warriors training. I needed to see where we stood in case we had to fight tonight. I linked Asher to summon all that we had and headed to my room, jumping in the shower and trying to lose myself in the warm water as it ran over my head.

I got out and threw on a pair of athletic shorts and a tee before toweling off my hair and dropping my towel in the hamper. I heard a quiet knock on the door and braced myself, unsure of who would be coming to my room unannounced.

I slowly opened the door and saw Soleil smile at me before stepping in and shutting the door quickly behind her as she pulled her skimpy top up over her body and throwing her body into mine. Her thin arms wrapped around my neck as she brushed her face against mine, pressing her lips to mine as her body pressed flush against me. I pulled back, my hands gripping into her arms as I growled. "What the hell Soleil. Get off of me now."

Her hand stroked my neck before falling to my chest and I snarled. "Come on baby. I know you've been wanting this for a while. It's been so long..." She said breathily but I yanked her arms off of me, shoving her away from me as she stumbled back to bump against the door.

Her ears perked and I saw her face turn for just a second to listen as she let out a loud giggle and I cursed to myself. She must hear Lili in the hall. In a flash, she'd whipped around to open the door with her shirt still exposing her as a shocked Lili fell forward, her hand lingering on the knob as she glared up at Soleil.

Fuck!

The look of hatred and fury was consuming her as she glared up at her. Once Soleil pranced out triumphantly, Lili trained her fury on me and it sent a shock of pain through my chest, my heart aching under her gaze. I tried to explain myself, but she didn't want to hear it. She was hurt. I could see it. Pain was simmering under the anger, but she was holding onto it like a lifeline, not letting it fade this time.

I reached for her but her hands flew up reactively. "Don't Rhett. Just...don't."

Her words stabbed me, pushing me away hard as she backed toward the door, reaching for the knob and yanking it open. She let one pain filled gaze hit me before she slammed the door shut and left me standing there breathless, shocked, and alone.

I let out a loud growl and threw the hamper next to me across the room.

What the fuck am I supposed to do with this? I have to get this handled with Cage. Now.

"What's going on over there?" I said with a nod.

Ivy gave me a small smile before looping her arm into mine. "It's the warriors. Alpha wants to assess them today."

My stomach dropped. Was he preparing for a fight? I was instantly distracted as a familiar raven haired she-wolf strutted through the door, being sure to walk through the large group of males who whistled at her until she made her way to the front of the group with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes and pulled my arm from Ivy's, shifting my weight angrily as I heard her clear her throat. "Ok ladies! Let's start with sprints. I'll tell you when to stop. Let's go." She said, waving forward for us to get started.

The group took off, starting at a slow jog before turning into a full blown sprint. I immediately pulled ahead of the majority, only falling slightly behind Ivy. Soleil brushed against my shoulder, knocking me off balance as she pushed ahead of my and my foot caught, sending me tumbling to the ground as the others passed me. She turned to snicker at me before facing forward and running faster. I winced at the pain in my hand and saw that I'd scraped it as I caught myself in the fall.
