The Strong Bond novel Chapter 72

Lena could see the happiness radiating off her, instead of the tension that usually seemed to surround her. She decided to make her way over to her group who seemed a little quiet, but then again it was 6:30 in the morning.

"Morning" Lena chimes as she stands next to Blair.

"Hey" Blair replies as her head goes side to side trying to look at something in front her.

"What are you looking at?" Lena asks following her gaze. She noticed Damian was talking to someone, but she wasn't sure who. All she could see was a male that stood just as tall as her mate with a thinner frame. Though he wasn't as thick or bulky like Damian, he still was well built from what she could tell. His hair was golden brown, and long enough for him to run his hand through giving it a messy look. They seem to be in a deep conversation, but that didn't stop Damian from feeling her presence. As his eyes seemed to veer from the man standing in front of him, to his beautiful mate. A smile creeped over his face when his eyes connected with her, then regain his poster to focus back on his conversation. Lena was just about to strike up a conversation of her own when Damian waved her over. She mentally groans as she made her way over to where they stood. It was way too early for her to be meeting people, and didn't want to think about how she must look. Lena was never a morning person, so during these training sessions she planned on waiting last minute to get out of bed. Even though this morning she got up a little sooner to help Viola out. She still didn't bother taking a minute to look in the mirror, and now regretted her laziness.

"Milo I like you to meet my mate Lena Evans. Lena this is an old friend of mine Milo Stefanovich" Damian introduces wrapping his arm around her waist.

"It's nice to finally meet you Luna" Milo greets extending his hand to her. Lena took a moment to respond, because she was totally caught off guard. First there was the thick Southeastern European accent that any women would find any excuse for him to speak. Second, he was strikingly handsome with his olive tone skin that seem natural. On his chiseled face a broad, straight nose that sat perfectly between his almond shape eyes. Those eyes Lena repeated in her head as she stared into them admiralty. She wished she couldn't stop starring, but she felt like a mosquito and his eyes were the light. They were drawing her in with they're electric green tone that slight faded to yellow, then a dark purple., Wrapping around the entire iris was a thick dark-blue rim. She was totally lost in them, till a load clearing of someone's throat broke her daze.

"Um, sorry" She blushes, earning a growl from Damian. Even though she couldn't deny he was a good-looking man. Only Damian took her breath away when she looked at him.

"It's okay, it happens all the time" Milo informs her, trying to ease her embracement.

"I could understand why. You have unique eye color"

"Nah, my whole family has the same color. So, I don't feel so special" he says shrugging.

"Milo also comes from a family of warriors" Damian points out.

"Oh really, what pack is your family from?" Lena asks.

"Shadowsfall Pack, in Serbia" He answers, confirming her thoughts about his accent.

"What brings you all the way out here in the middle of the united states?"

"My family has been around a long time, and were very close to Damians family. So, Damian thought I could help with training, and help Clair show you guys how to reveal what your abilities are" he explains.

"I've also brought my younger sister along, who seems to be missing at the current moment" He adds looking around the area.

"That's really nice of you guys to come all this way to help us. I-we appreciate, becasue we can use any help we can get" Lena acclaims.

"It's no problem really. Damian has always been there for us when we needed it, so it's a pleasure to finally return the favor"

"Shale we start?" Damian suggests. Milo just nods, and all three of them head over to the group that who seem not very excited.

Milo introduced himself, and told a little about himself. He gave them the short version not wanting to waste valuable training time with nonsense information. He also went on to explain the kind of training they would be working on the first week. Of course, there were groans, and complaints throughout the small crowd.
