---- Chapter 120: Sutton Chapter 120: Sutton | spent as much time training as | could over the next two. days. At least three or four long sessions each day with either Lucas, Max, or Jaden. Mostly Lucas. For some reason, | didn't think | was going to like Lucas as my trainer. | guess | thought he would be too careful with me. He' d hold back or tell me something was too dangerous. But he didn't. He continuously pushed me to my limits. It was surprisingly... erotic at times.

So much so that more than once we ended up giving in to our urges right out in the clearing. The rest of the time | spent working on my shift with Nova. Tarrah and Motty actually worked on that with me some of the time. Tarrah insisted that nothing helped more than having fellow she-wolves around. Sera even joined us one time. She showed me a move she had used to escape Alpha Morgan's men during the rebellion.

But | felt like | could hold my own. At least long enough to get myself out of any trouble | find myself in. | was sitting in the clearing, meditating my connection with Nova, when | heard the sound of a stick break behind me.

With two fingers, he waved Nova to him. We closed the distance, pushing against the hand he had outstretched to greet us.

Even in different forms, his touch sent tingles through every nerve ending. He pushed his hands through Nova's fur, running them along the length of her. Judging her condition. As he finished his assessment, Nova rubbed against him playfully. He chuckled. "I'm glad you're still so lively after the work you've been putting in," he told us.
