CHAPTER 5

JACQUELINE'S POV

I woke up with a warm body next to mine, I smiled at the recollection of last night, I know I haven't tamed him, there's a long way to go for that, but unlike before, I do see a chance for this relationship now. I tried to wiggle my way out of his grasp, but he only tightened his grip pulling my back flush against his bare chest, his hand rested on the middle of my stomach as his warm breath tickled the side of my neck.

"Where do you think you're going?", he said in a deep and raspy voice. Does he sound like that every morning because I would pay to hear that... correction I would KILL to hear that! "Hmm?", he hummed and I realized I needed to answer him.

"I need to train RAWs my first training session begins in about an hour", I mumbled turning around to face him, his hand immediately dropped to my lower back, sending chills down my spine and leaving burning sparks at the contact. I memorized his relaxed face, his perfect jawline, that light stubble and plump lips, another thing that I noted was the light freckles scattered over his face which were if you weren't looking as closely as I am, be invisible.

"Staring is rude you know?", his lips quirked up into an arrogant smirk, as I giggled.

"I could've said that when I first saw you checking out my ass yesterday", I pointed out and he hummed groggily again before pushing me such that I laid on my back and spread my legs climbing in between them such that his legs dangled off the bed and his face buried itself in the valley of my breasts, placing gentle,lazy kisses every now and then as I played with his hair. He groaned. "What's wrong?", I asked, pausing my actions.

"I like it when you play with my hair like that", he spoke placing his hand on my own forcing it down to meet his hair again and I giggled shaking my head at him. We stayed like this for about ten more minutes when he fell asleep, this time with more ninja moves, I managed to not wake him up and leave for my training sessions.

"COME ON GUYS! YOU TRAIN LIKE ME WHEN I WAS SEVEN!", I yelled, my patience running thin with the amount of laziness in them today. I smelled him before I saw him walking with his parents and Captain (Sebastian), towards my training ground. I sent him a small smile and he looked the other way. Wait, what? Did I do something I am unaware of? Not going to lie, that hurt. I looked at his second in command, who's name is Liam I think? And he sent me an apologetic smile, I smiled at him in reassurance.

"Of course, of course! My favourite girl!", Captain hollered at me and I gave him a cheeky smile.

"Hey Captain, how's the mansion tour going?", I asked.

"Mansion tour?", Liam asked. And I nodded at him in confusion.

"That is what I am here for actually, could you give them a little tour as I pay Collins a visit?", Captain asked with hopeful eyes and I sighed and nodded. He ruffled my hair and was on his way.

"Who's Collins?", Darius' gamma asked.

"He's an elder of the vampire community, him and Captain have been very close ever since both of their mates died in a battlefield, captain would never admit it but, Jemma was the best thing that ever happened to him", I smiled.

I gave them a tour of the mansion occasionally explaining the stories behind certain walls, objects or paintings. When we came at The Fate's wall.

"Who's that?", Liam said pointing at a portrait of Lady psycho.

"Liam right?", I asked wanting to be sure and he shook his head.

"Its Logan", he corrected and I smiled at him.

"Well you see Logan, these are all portraits painted by The Fate herself, I know what you are going to ask, why would she paint anyone, The Fate likes to make memorials of the bravest hearts whther they are alphas, lunas, League Trainers, RAWs or even omegas.", I explained.

"Damn isn't that like a big deal?", the gamma asked. I was about to respond to him when Darius' father interuppted.

"Oh it is, every single wolf knowledgable about the wall of The Fate desperately tries to be brave just for that portrait, its like a sense of power, a sense of dominance over other wolves when you are in the portraits, and as said in scriptures, 'Nobody shalt be nurtured on the bricks of Fate, despite the hearts that dance within fire'", Former Alpha recited the famous verse.

"Does it help with anything?", Logan asked. And I nodded.

"Most people throw a lavish feast when they are painted on the wall by The Fate, but some like to keep their victories private, because they don't want the status and danger faced by most brave men, not because they are cowards but because they are the bravest of men, they decide to not show off and only unveil their power amidst a provoking challenge, am I right Roger Filk Knight the third?", I turned towards Darius' father, he had a look of shock adorning his face before his eyes filled with amusement and laughter graced his lips, and he nodded.

"This lady whoever she is, no offense looks a little mad in the head", Logan pointed and I giggled.

"Thats who she is, silly. That is Lady psycho as you pointed out she wasn't right in the head, but her mate adored her even through her disability, he died defending his king and she was left unstable with a new born to take care of. When the enemy tried to harm her child she realized he was the only token her mate left for her. Legend says the goddess blessed her with a surge of power such that when she vowed to rip each and every fury into parts, her vow came true. Her baby boy was saved but unfortunately she was sentenced to death, a day after her death, the portrait was discovered by a witch in the forest, we killed a hero, by our own hands unaware of the glory she could bring to our world", as I finished I saw yet another look of shock on Roger's face.

"How do you know about all of that? I mean they don't usually recite the glory stories of our heroes in here do they?", Roger asked dumbfounded. I laughed slightly.

"I mean for those that wanted to be on a portrait, there's always a library", I giggled.

"So you want a portrait of yourself? For what power? Fame? Money?", the gamma asked.

"To prove a point.", I said my mind going back to the dark memory....
