Diana's POV
Training for me was usually held every morning at 7 am sharp. That was more than an hour ago. For every minute I’m late I have to make 5 pushups. Safe to say that I was going to be dead after this training session was over.
Quickly running down the hallways I pushed myself through the crowds of people to reach the training room. I busted through the double doors to see Cam waiting for me with his arms crossed over his chest. Those light brown eyes didn’t miss the fact that my hair was a bird’s nest on top of my head, ready to hatch a couple of eggs.
“You’re late,” Cam stated as I leaned my hands on my knees trying to catch my breath.
“I am fashionably late,” I corrected him laughing at my own joke because I was a total mess. He didn’t seem like he even heard me as he kept silent watching me struggle to breathe.
“You know what to do,” Cam said pointing towards the ground with a stern finger.
“Ugh,” I groaned out my frustration and flopped down on the ground before doing the push-ups. I wasn’t even done doing five when my arms started burning.
“370 left,” Cam said counting down my pushups.
“Have some mercy!” I yelled in pain as I continued doing the push-ups. Sweat was being to form on my forehead.
“Alright,” Cam said taking a second to think. “You can do 100 now and then 100 before you leave and we can call it even.”
“Fine,” I said through gritted teeth. Anything was better than doing 370 straight in a row. I wouldn’t be able to lift my arms after.
Everyone has to play a part in this community and mine was training to become Alpha. So, I desperately need to learn in case someone tries to challenge me for the title. Hence why I am here of all places like for instance instead of sleeping in my soft, warm, inviting bed.
“Two left, come on you can do it.” Cam encouraged as I struggled to push myself off the floor, my arms were shaking and sweat was starting to go into my eyes. I groaned out as the pain in my arms became unbearable, yet I completed the last two and dropped on the ground breathing hard. My arms felt like noodles.
“You can take a two-minute break but after that I want you standing,” Cam ordered hovering above me. I noticed his nose had healed but there was still a faint purple mark. It gave him an edgy look since his hair wasn’t combed back nicely like normal. He had been running his hand through too much probably stressed about the rogue reports.
I could only nod as I tried to get my heartbeat back under control. Cam extended his hand down towards me and I laid my small hand in his so he could pull me up to my feet. I started to feel a little lightheaded from the sudden movement and grabbed his arm for support.
“Are you okay?” He asked concerned, grabbing both my arms and looking into my eyes.
“Y-yeah,” I breathed out heavily. “Just got up too fast.”
Cam slowly took his hands away when I nodded for him to do so. It didn't help that I didn't eat breakfast either because I was so caught up with Angelo.
“We’ll take start easy and work our way up.” He said taking off his shirt all of the sudden. From all the training sessions I’ve had with him, he has never done that before. I was taken back a little to see Cam shirtless, now out of all times. I saw him as a friend, possibly a brother but I couldn’t deny he was hot. I was impressed with upper body muscles.
Cam smirked finally breaking the emotionless mask he had on since I arrived. “My eyes are up here.” He said breaking me out the trans I was in. I could do this, now if it was a shirtless Angelo I was up against instead, then I’d be in trouble. Cam currently held the title of our best fighter, so that is why he was training me out of all the people here.
James, my brother, was better than my father and Cam combined since he put so many hours into perfecting his skills in fighting. He was the one that used to train me twice a week, now it’s Cam who trains me every day.
"Are you ready?" Cam asked.
"Wait," I said stretching out my arms and popping my knuckles, a bad habit of mine. “Okay, now I am.”
"Alright, we'll change into our wolf form later and train outside," Cam instructed. "Like always the point of these training is to find your weak points and make you improve them."
"Yeah, yeah get to the punching." Jumping around I stuck my tongue out at him while throwing quick punches in his direction. Cam smiled at me before getting serious and putting his arms up close to his head automatically protecting his upper body from any punches.
I was the first to throw a right hook and watched him step back barely missing it. After that, I kept throwing punch after punch but none of them seemed to land. I kept an eye on his foot movement and tried to predict his next move but somehow, I wasn’t fast enough.
I pursed my lips tightly together in annoyance, I’ve been able to hit him before. What was different this time?
Groaning I stopped attacking him and stood still in my spot, watching him circle me.
“Don’t stay in one spot,” Cam said coming at in a blur of speed and kneeling down on the ground before pushing his shoulder against my pelvic bone to throw me down against the mats. “You’ll be easier to take down like that.”
The air left my lungs painfully and I kicked Cam in the chest throwing him backward. He quickly got back up to his feet and came at me. I didn’t know what he was planning and tried to look at his feet work again. I saw them in a position that would give him better access to throw a right hook. I managed to duck under his arm in time and quickly figured the rest of the punches he could throw after to prepare myself.
For once I was able to avoid his punches and leave him breathless when he gave up. I couldn’t help smirk at him and say, “Someone was too cocky.”
“We aren’t done yet,” Cam said looking straight into his eyes with a glint in his light golden-brown eyes.
"Diana!" Someone shouted out causing me to turn around to spot my father with Angelo who was currently giving a death glare to Cam with those grey eyes of his. "Come here," He ordered motioning with his hand at me to come towards him. Nodding I looked back at Cam who just watched me walk away silently. The look on his face meant that he had no idea what he wanted either.
"What?" I asked when I reached them. Angelo looked at me and gave me one of those I'm-so-innocent smiles, causing me to raise an eyebrow at him. He was up to something.
"Angelo is going to be your new trainer from now on. It would be good to change trainers and switch things up. It would do you good to learn from another alpha." My father said while looking at Cam who could perfectly hear him from where he stood. "I want Cam to train someone else."
Oh no, this can't be good. "Are you sure?" I asked playing with my fingers behind my back. Say no! Say no! I kept chanting in my head hoping it would come true.
"Yes." Damn it to hell! I would be training with the devil.
"Oh, okay." Flashing my dad, a smile he walked towards Cam to talk to him.
"I'm going to teach you many things, don't worry, love," Angelo said caressing my cheek when my father wasn’t looking. Pervert, I didn't even get to shower this morning because of him! Slapping his hand away I then took a step back to try to get the feelings he stirred up back under control.
"Sure, we'll see about that," I said smiling to myself. Angelo is so getting a purple nurple if he takes off his shirt. It would be only fair since he is the biggest distraction I’ve ever meet.
