Reopened Scars chapter 7- Hardest part is leaving you

Hardest part is leaving you

“so how do you like it?” Gerard asks

“oh Gerard the place is lovely! I can’t believed you redecorated just for me.”

“I redecorated because I love you so much and want you to feel comfortable and because this isn’t a bachelor pad anymore.”

“well now.” she says slyly and gives an evil grin “you need to be rewarded for all your hard work.”

“oh. I like the sound of this.”

“so do you prefer steak or spaghetti?”

“as much as I love home cooking I was thinking of something sweeter.”

“okay I’ll take you out for ice cream then.”

Gerard laughs as he picks her up and throws her over his shoulder. They head back into the bedroom. After a few hours……

Gerard rolls over on his side.

“Ti? I was wondering what you exactly train for.”

She gives out a long sigh.

“I don’t know how to word it exactly.”

“just get it your best baby.”

“well you can say that I am a princess sort of. In my family’s culture that is.”

“oh so your learning to like be prim and proper then.”

“no, well yes and I’m learning certain traditions, and how to fight.”

“fight?”

“well yeah even us princesses have to fight. In fact fighting is a regular thing for my family. It’s tradition that we fight to be leader and other stuff like that. My aunt trains me for hours straight just in fighting. I can’t tell you how many bruised bones during training. I’ve actually broken several ribs.”

“wow you like train for like hardcore fighting then.”

“yeah and you know training wouldn’t be complete with out my aunt forcing me into yet another fight. I hate it.”

“I wish I had that kind of training when I was coming up.” Gerard mumbles to himself.

“Timber. What is the hardest part of training?”

“the hardest part will be leaving you.”

“then don’t.”

“Gerard I can’t not go.”

“I understand you need to learn to control your phasing.”

“what did you say?”

“you heard me. I know love. When that light of the full moon hits your skin I can smell your blood phasing. It’s so sweet.”

“UH! You let me go on and on dancing around those words and you knew what I was!”

“I knew what you were when I saw your eyes leave those deep chocolate brow pools to those golden rays for the first time.”

“I never understood why I felt so at home with you. Now I know. So you said that you wished you had this kind of training when you were bringing brought up.”

“yeah I had to teach myself. When I was first phasing I was on my own. Well not completely I had Mikey. He was mostly there to make sure I didn’t kill anyone.”

“well it’s not like I volunteered to be alpha wolf. Much less the princess. It sucks you know, I have to leave for almost half a year and train relentlessly. And when I come back I’m always on edge ready to attack at anything, and I sleep for days. It’s horrible for a person’s health, but again I’m not exactly normal am I?”

“normal enough for me and the boys.”

“the boys. Are they?”

“yes.”

Just then timber’s cell phone goes off. She looks at the caller id. It read Selene. Timber’s eyes began to fill with pain she could feel the soreness in her ribs the aching of her muscles.
