Chapter 5

Jasmine's POV

Its been weeks since the incident with the Alpha and since then I've convinced myself that training regularly won't do me too much or any harm at all and also I'm trying to reach my brother's standards before I become a great grandma.

I'm currently delivering several packs of punches to the punching bag that has seen better days.

With a certain thought in my mind I push myself harder to delivering more punches and kicks when I hear a voice behind me.

"Damn Jasmine, don't you think its had enough." The pack's notorious playboy Randal said from behind me.

Are you kidding me I leave my bed so early in the morning that it has to be a crime and I come all the way from my house to meet this.

With that thought in mind I turn around and plaster a fake smile on my face but not before stopping the swinging punching bag so it doesn't hit me.

"Well what do you know it's Randal the jerk I'm so excited" I mutter sarcastically.

He laughs so loud that the sound echoes around us in the training room.

Randal has been a playboy even from the little memories of my childhood. He was that cute adorable kid that females seem to always flock around.

He was in a wearing a muscle top that showed his bulging biceps which were folded across his wide chest.

"Come on Jasmine is that the best you could come up with this time" He said clearly amused.

I look up to the ceiling before looking back at my current distraction.

"Randal I'm not really in your mood today...and if I'd known any better I would say that you're stalking me or something seeing as we are the only ones here right now". I said looking around the empty room.

"Stalking seriously pfft... what are we in the 60's" he replies with an eye roll.

"And if I really wanted you there are better and more effective ways to get you to fall for my charm"  he adds cockily .

Not really in the mood for one of our banters. I ask "then what are you doing here because it seems to me that you aren't training".

"Well just so you know I just finished my personal training I mean how else do you think I maintain these bad boys" he then proceeds to flex his muscles and lifts off his top to also flex his overly ripped abs.

'Why do I even bother' I say mentally with a tap to my forehead.

He just laughs it off and puts his shirt back down.

"Anyways I'm here to train some chick I'll hopefully score before the end of the week" he says.

I look at him with a quizzical look and I just decide not to say anything so that he doesn't keep on talking.

Seeing as he looks at something behind me I turn my head to glance at a petite brunette smiling back at him shyly

"My student is here so I'll probably catch you later" he says with a mischievous glint in his black eyes.

"Yeah bye whatever" I mutter turning back to my punching back. Randal and the girl go to another of the many rooms to train and do God knows what.

It's been hours since the training and now I'm in Mrs. D kitchen at the back of her pizzeria helping her make pizzas and attend to the customers.

I come here sometimes for the company of Mrs. D and her workers or when I'm extremely bored, Mrs. D just finished telling me and some of her workers about some dude named Columbus back in her days and how much of a joker the guy was.

I just finished laughing my ass off when Mrs. D's eyes glazed over meaning someone was trying to communicate with her through her mind link.

Few minutes later her gray eyes reappeared signaling that she was done.

"What's up Mrs. D?" I asked curious as always.

"That was your Mom"she said with kind eyes that had always been so warm and loving.

"Oh shit! I totally forgot". I exclaim with wide eyes.

The others just laugh at me as I scramble to look for my purse.

"She said she knew you would forget so she told me to remind you and send you home as soon as you are done" Mrs. D  says to my utter relief. I did not want to have another episode with my mom I had eaten enough greens this week.

"Oh thank you so much I can't handle the veggies she keeps stuffing me" I breathe out giving Mrs. D a gentle hug.

"Oh its okay dear" she replies hugging me back. "You should get going if you don't your Mom's wrath other than vegetables."

"Yeah I should' I reply cleaning my hands off  the flour my hands were decorated in. "I'll come back some other time then if that's okay with you."

"Its always okay with you little one" she says patting my nest of ginger red hair.

"Now go along now" she says pushing me out of the working area.

I quickly throw a "Bye guys catch ya later" to my friends over my shoulder as Mrs. D pushes me out of the restaurant.

"Greet your brothers for me when you get home".

"I would do just that ma'am. Thanks for today". I say tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Oh its nothing my dear" she replied hugging me. I smile happily returning the hug.

"I better be heading home then".

"Bye my dear. Have a wonderful evening".

"You too Mrs. D" I respond walking away.

I walk into the living room of my cozy house fifteen minutes later to find my parents making out on the couch.

Ever since my dad retired from being the Gamma of our pack, I and my siblings have walked into this scene one too many times.

He just sits around the house or goes with dates with my mom now that they have all the time in the world, I can't wait to find my mate and experience the overwhelming love I see in my parents eyes every time they look at each other.

With a sigh that they don't seem to hear I cough loudly in which results them to split like as if their bodies are on fire and my Mom almost falling off the couch if not for my Dad's super-fast reflexes.

I burst out laughing which earns me a playful glare from my dad while my mother buries her reddened face in the crook of my Dad's neck.

I immediately shut up and walk into the kitchen to find the utensils and food stuffs for this night's dinner laid out on the  fancy marble top.

I turn around to find my parents walking into the kitchen my Dad's hands on my Mom's shoulders.

"I didn't expect you home this early"  my Mom says as she saunters to the refrigerator to bring out a chilled bottle of water which she tosses to my Dad who catches it effortlessly.

"Mrs. D let me leave early to escape your wrath" I giggle. She just rolls her eyes at me as she checks the clock on the wall.

"Come on let's get cooking we have about an hour and a half to dinner".

My Dad tries to walk out of the kitchen sneakily but I run towards him and jump on his back while my Mom starts laughing then the twins poke their heads into the kitchen and shake their heads simultaneously at my little display.

Dad just tries to shake me off but like the koala I am I don't budge.

With the laughter around me, the look of amusement from my brothers makes me wonder if I'll always have them with me as long as we live.

But deep down I know that because of what we are there's a chance that might never happen.

So that is why I keep this moment in the deepest corners of my heart forever to be remembered and cherished.
