Chapter 32：The Ex- Part 2 (1/2)

Eve's POV:

”I need a break,” I said huffing for air.

”We just began warming up,” Louis said to which I glared.

”It has been an hour since the warming up!” I told him, he chuckled hearing this. I was a human for heaven sake, not a vampire like him.

He was good with his fighting skills and yesterday we had a mini sparing were out of defense I had bitten him, which had Sebastian laughing.

Its been nearly a week since my training began with Louis. He's not made it easy, workouts on workouts I was out of energy every night.

Ruka had sent Megan to her father and out of this castle; I mean she does not stay here anymore. She looked furious that day; the look on her face was priceless. He had broken off the ties with her father and had built a new relationship with William, Jessi's beloved. I did see Megan during school and received glares from her.

”You know, you just have to say the words,” he said his lips curling up slightly. Now that I think about it, I have never seen him carefree. It seemed as being Lizzy's twin; he had given her all those characteristics too.

”As if I would,” I shot back an answer taking the water bottle and drinking it.

Ruka had told if I felt I could not handle this I could ask them to stop but I would not be going to trip either. After another hour, I went back to the room and showered.

I loved this bathroom. It had a Jacuzzi bathtub, which I had only seen in magazines. After the shower I got out and picked my clothes, there was a note on the bed. Please tell me it is not what I think it is.

Opening the note, I let out a sigh of relief. It was from Ruka and he asked me to wear something casual, telling we were going out.

I took out a plain grey top and black jeans to go with it. I had left my hair down. Going out I met Ruka, his back was leaning on the car.

We were in the mall now shopping. I had three bags in my hand and so did Ruka. The crazy thing was all of it was my stuff. Ruka picked almost every little thing he found good on me. There were women who were gawking at him at a particular store and I had pulled him out of there. I felt possessive.

Ruka later said that he would be back in ten minutes as he had someone to talk to. I waited for him outside Archie's store, when someone interrupted my thoughts.

”Is that you, Eve?”

”Steven?”

He was my first crush. He had dark brown hair with black eyes and was a werewolf. He had led me on making me think he liked me but before I could get into a relationship Jessi and Rini had found out that he already had a mate.

He was a lying and a manipulative guy in short.

”How are you? It's been so long since I last saw you,” he said in a surprised tone. The nerve he has to ask me that.

”Yeah,” I replied, ”I'm good.”

”You look beautiful by the way,” he complimented me.

”Where's your mate?” I asked him while my eyes searched for Ruka and not acknowledging his flattery.

”We didn't get along well, so we rejected the whole thing,” he said casually, ”We should definitely hang out sometime,” God he was worse.

”I'm already with someone,” I told him to which he laughed.

”I don't think he's as good as me,” he boasted arrogantly. Only if you knew, I thought in my head.

”I need to go,” I said him feeling uncomfortable.

”No, stay,” he said trying to grab hold of my elbow but I moved a good distance away from him quickly, ”Let's hangout now.” I looked at him as though he had grown two head.

”Is there a problem?” It was Ruka.

”No, I am talking to my girlfriend so mind your work,” Steven said and then looked at me, ”What was I telling? Yes, that-”
