Each punch I deliver is harder than the last. The bag sways with the contact. I didn't bother to wrapmy hands or put any gloves on. I came down here and just got started beating the bag as if it weresomeone I wanted to hurt. I beat the bag as if it were Jenna, Adela, Aida, Luna Kimberly, my dad......The gym emptied out pretty quickly once I got started, and I'd imagine that was out of safety. Iknow I look like a maniac, a killer, and no one wants to get involved with that. I knew it would be achallenge to be back home, but I never considered it would be this hard. I know that I can't give upand walk away, but I'm not sure how much more I can take.

I hate that Landon’s time with me got interrupted, especially since Lincoln was able to have his time.I just want to be with my mates and figure out how to be what I need to be for them. It seems thatno matter what I do, there is always someone or something in the way. I know these things are outof my hands, but I wish I could just make it all stop.

“I guess we will need to order a new bag, huh.” I turn to see Neal leaning against the doorway withhis arms crossed. He has a smirk on his face, and I guess this would be considered a funny view.

I throw one last punch and stand up straight. “Hey Neal. I didn't notice you there.”

“Adela, honey.” I look up and see daddy walking toward me. I wonder where he was coming fromsince he isn't dressed for training.

"Hey daddy. Where have you been?”

“I just finished speaking with the Luna.” That makes sense. He did say he would talk to her to get herto honor our original agreement.

"What'd she say?” Daddy sighs and rubs the back of his neck.

"What she said doesn't matter. We need to have a workable to plan, and I think I know what itshould be.” I nod, and he takes my hand. We head to the training center where my dad has anoffice. He has to keep track of some pack business that pertains to warriors. I sit across from my dadand wait for him to enlighten me. “We need to replace a way to make this Jenna person irrelevant.”"How do we do that? She is the daughter of an Alpha.” Dad sits back in his chair and crosses hisfingers under his chin.

“The daughter of an Alpha. We all know what that means; she's spoiled. She probably hasn't had thetraining that you have had. If you can get her to challenge you, you can eliminate her.”

“Daddy, I don't to kill her nor do I want her to die. I just want her to go home.”

"Well, that is all great, but I still say challenge her. What do you think the twins would say if they sawhow weak she is? You and your sister are the strongest here, and that, alone, makes you a greatLuna. If you push her, get under her skin enough so she will challenge you......who knows how greatthat will make you look.” Daddy has a point. The daughter of an Alpha is expected to act a certainway; carry themselves a certain way. It would be horrible if that Jenna starts to act out of character.What if she starts to bring shame to her father's name? Maybe if I push her enough, I can get her tobe off balance, and she can eliminate herself.

"Yeah I think that will work, daddy. I can't wait to try that.” Daddy smiles, and I smile back at him.Getting rid of Jenna may end up being easier than I thought.
