The Alpha's Young Mate novel Chapter 34

Clayton's POV

After the whole singing embarrassment, I went outside for a fighting session with my best fighter, Hunter.

I swing a punch and hit Hunter right in the jaw. I then punch him again but this time in the nose. He stumbles back a bit.

Normally he does better at blocking than this, he seems to be out of it today.

"Hunter," I say as he looks around.

"Hunter," I say again and he looks at me. "Yea?" He says.

"What's up with you?" I ask him. He shakes his head, "I'm not sure Clayton, my wolf is just acting up."

"Your wolf is acting up?" I ask raising an eyebrow.

"Yea." he says pausing and sniffs the air. His eyes snap in the direction that Ella is coming.

I smile at Ella as she looks at me and starts walking closer to Hunter and I. She then looks at Hunter and freezes, right then Hunter growls "Mine."

He runs over to her with a huge smile on his face while Ella stays standing wide-eyed.

"What's your name?" Hunter asks as he studies Ella's face.

"Ella, what's yours?"

"Hunter."

After a awkward moment of silence I clear my throat and they both look at me.

"Ella, I know Hunter is your mate and all, but we've got training to do."

"Clay, is it alright if Ella and I go for a walk and get to know each other better?" Hunter asks, I sigh before saying, "Okay."

They both smile and walk off.

I shake my head and chuckle. That was awkward, for me anyways.

I get a drink of water from my water bottle and pick up my shirt right as Rose walks outside and makes her way over to me.

I smile, "Hey beautiful," I tell her as I kiss her cheek. She smiles, "Hey ugly."

I frown, "Ugly? And here I thought you loved me." I pout and she laughs. "I'm just kidding." She says before giving me a kiss.

When she pulls away I already miss her soft lips being pressed against mine.

"Where's Hunter? I thought you guys were having a fighting session?" She asks.

"Well, Hunter found his mate."

Rose smiles a wide grin, "Oh my god! Really? Who!"

"Ella." I tell her.

Rose frowns slightly before asking, "When you said you and Ella were friends, did you guys-" I cut her off, "No, Ella is like a sister to me, never have I ever thought of that."

Rose smiles again but her cheeks turn a slight red color. "Oh." She says as I chuckle at Rose and her cute little jealousy.

"I almost forgot! I came out here to tell you that my dad wants to speak with you." Rose says.

Shit.
