The Alpha’s Feisty Mate
Chapter 48: Jealousy

Isabella POV

My alarm clock woke me up at 5:30am and I couldn’t help but let out a tired huff. Mornings really never get easier for me.

I dragged myself out of bed and into the bathroom where I washed my face and brushed my teeth. When I was done, I got dressed in black leggings and a purple sports bra. I tied my hair back in a high pony tail before slipping on my runners and leaving my room.

Once I was at the training field I found Clair talking with a group of warriors and I joined them.

“Good morning sunshine!” Clair greeted me with a big smile.

“It’s too early Clair, stop smiling, it’s hurting my eyes.” I grumbled back at her and she chuckled, so did some of the warriors.

“Hey Isabella, are we still on for some one on one after training?” I spotted Kyle in the group while he asked me.

“Mmm, sure.” I said with a hesitant smile, thinking about my previous conversation with Jared, Erik and Clair. They thought Kyle was interested in me, I didn’t think so. My thoughts were interrupted by Alpha Drake’s voice.

“Everyone, partner up in groups of three. We are going to train with multiple attackers today.” Alpha Drake announced to the group.

Clair and I paired up and a male warrior named Bruce joined our group.

Bruce is 28 years old, tall and slim, he’s got muscles, but he’s more on the lean side. His brown hair is cut short and is spiky. He’s a pretty easy going guy and doesn’t act arrogant like a lot of the other warriors. I like Bruce, he’s a good guy.

“You ladies ready to take me down?” Bruce teased with a big smile.

“You better believe it. It was your mistake to team up with the two of us.” I teased back with my own smile.

We got into our sparring positions. This round, it was going to be Clair and I against Bruce.

I glanced over at Clair giving her a mischievous smile which she returning knowing exactly what I was thinking. Let’s kick his a*s. All in good fun though, since Bruce is a nice guy.

I started stalking toward Bruce from his left side while Clair moved in on the right. I waited till he glanced over at Clair before I made the first move and lunged while punching his abdomen with my fist. I heard him grunt as he bent over on impact.

Clair took advantage of his distraction and swiped his legs with hers causing him to fall hard onto the mat.

I didn’t waste anytime and jumped on his upper stomach straddling him while Clair did the same, straddle his lower body. I think we had him complete immobilized in under two minutes.

“Ok, ok, I give up, you ladies are savage.” Bruce said teasingly while taping the mat in defeat. Clair and I chuckled, but kept him pinned to the mat a few extra minutes, just to tease him.

I heard a growl and turned my head, Alpha Drake stood ten feet away shooting me an angry glare. His eyes were practically black telling me his wolf was coming forward.

Clair, Bruce and I all froze for a second, before Clair and I quickly got off Bruce. What was that all about, I wondered? We were just playing around by pinning Bruce after he tapped. Why would that make him mad?

“Switch position.” He barked at us before walking away. I just shook it off and got into my defensive position.

This time Clair and Bruce would be attacking me.

I watched as Bruce approached from my right and Clair from my left.

Clair was the first to lunge at me and I moved out of the way only to have Bruce lunge and attempted to punch me in the abdomen, I side stepped his oncoming attack, but threw out my leg causing him to trip over them and land on the ground. Clair jumped on my back and had me in a choke hold within seconds.

I threw myself backward on top of Bruce who was still down, Clair was sandwiched between the two of us and loosened her grip slightly on impact. I broke free from her hold and stood quickly getting back in my defensive stance.

Both Bruce and Clair stood back up shaking their heads.

“Damn Isabella your a good fighter.” Bruce said sounding impressed.

“It’s annoying sometimes. Like, just let me win once.” Clair said jokingly with an eye roll.

We all laughed and kept training, we switched positions periodically, so we each had our turn being attacked by multiple assailants.

Once training was over Bruce said good bye to us before he walked away.

“You ready to go?” Jared said while walking up to us, looking at Clair.

“Yup.” Clair replied with a smile pecking his lips with hers before walking off with him.

“Hey you ready?” I turned to replace Kyle standing behind me with a smile.

“Ya, absolutely. What did you want to work on?” I asked curiously.

“Well, ummm, anything really.” He said nervously.

“I thought you had specific techniques you wanted to run by me.” I asked confused.

“Isabella, I was just hoping to spend some time with you. Your a really cool chick and I was hoping to get to know you better.” He said looking sheepish for getting me to stay under false pretences.

Huh, So they were right. I am completely stupid and oblivious when it comes to recognizing someone showing interest in me. I was lost in my own thoughts when Alpha Drake walked up to us.

“What’s going on here?” he asked angrily. No one was left in the field, except for Kyle, Alpha Drake and I.

“Kyle asked me to help him with a few training techniques.” I replied truthfully and Alpha Drake growled.

Alpha Drake stood there silently glaring at Kyle with so much hatred. I could see Kyle was cowering at the Alpha’s intense glare.

“Kyle someone wasn’t able to make it for their patrol shift. I need you to go and cover it.” Alpha Drake barked the command at Kyle.

“Yes Alpha.” Kyle replied bowing his head submissively before running off towards the gates.

I shook my head in disbelief.

“What the hell was that about? You infuriate me, one minute your nice to me, the next minute your a raging maniac ready to tear everyone’s head off. I think you need a doctor for that bipolar condition of yours.” I spat out meeting his anger with my own.

“Just stop distracting my warriors, I need them focus so they can do their job. I saw you flirting with Bruce early, distracting him during training and now Kyle- – -.” He yelling at me and I interrupted him.

“f**k off! Who do you think you are? We worked hard during training, I wasn’t distracting Bruce and me meeting up with Kyle after training is none of your business. Do I make myself clear?” I was vibrating with rage at this point. How dare he accuse me of distracting his warriors. I’m not that girl.

“Isabella, it’s just- – -.” He tried to say something with a softer tone when I cut him off.

“No, it was a simple question, do you understand? Yes or no?” I asked firmly, I was seeing red at this point my anger was so intense.

Alpha Drake stared at me with so much irritation, but also I could see he was hurting.

He just shook his head in irritation without answering my question. I had enough of him, I turned around and stormed off before I said something I would truly regret.

Alpha Drake POV

I watched Isabella and Clair pair off during training with Bruce. It irritated me. Why couldn’t they just pick another she-Wolf?

Devon was pissed of in my head at the thought of Bruce touching her. I didn’t blame him, I wasn’t happy at the thought either.

I mean, Bruce is a nice guy, he’s not one of those playboys, he’s loyal and respectful. I just don’t want him touching what’s mine.

They started to fight and I couldn’t look away. The first round it was Isabella and Clair teaming up against Bruce.

They had him pinned to the ground within minutes. It was actually impressive.

What made me growl, was how Isabella was straddling him. Even after he tapped out in defeat she stayed on top of him teasing him and they were both laughing.

I was anger and it was taking everything in me to control Devon, he was trying to come forward and if he did, that would be bad.

Once they switch positions, I walked away, trying to regain my composure.

The rest of the training went by without a hitch.

I was waiting for everyone to leave, I wanted to talk with Isabella and smooth things over, after my little possessive outburst.

When I started to approach her, I watched as another one of my warriors, Kyle moved in.

There was no one left on the field but them. I heard part of their conversation.

When Isabella asked Kyle what he wanted to practice, he started to fumble with his words, before he confessed to her that he really just wanted to spend time with her and get to know her.

That’s when I lost it. Devon came to the surface and another loud growl left my chest.

I stormed towards them and interrupted their talk.

I couldn’t take my eyes off of Kyle. I was glaring at him with so much intensity he was cowering from me. Good I thought, she’s MINE.

I made up a lie about needing him to go on patrol and it worked, he left. Thank the goddess, or I swear I was about to kill him.

When I turned my attention back to Isabella, her anger was now matching mine.

She looked like she was ready to attack.

I tried to blame it on her, saying how she was a distraction to my warriors and that just made her lose it. I could physically see her trembling with rage.

Ok, putting the blame on her was probably not the best choice, I just didn’t know what else to say.

After she was done yelling at me, she stormed off angrily. I wanted to stop her, but I didn’t know what to say, so I just let her go.

Her birthday is tomorrow and this was not how I wanted her going into it, she’s practically ready to kill me.

I really can’t do anything right when it comes to her, I thought to myself while letting out a heavy sigh.
