"Oh, really? Was the beating a big clue, or...?"
Daniel laughs.
"Don't worry, Selena has no problem beating people she likes a little. You don't have any broken bones, she went easy on you. She used to beat me at training, and I can tell she was nice to you. Be grateful you're a newbie and not a werewolf."
Well, awesome. I survived because she doesn't kill people she cares about. Kelsi and I exchange a glance. The werewolves' dynamics are really different. Actually, that guy Daniel looks rather skinny, I could tell he'd be no match for her. He stands back up and stretches a bit.
"I guess this is how our night out ends, babe," he sighs, taking the glass she hands him.
Selena glares at her drink before gulping it down in one shot.
"I guess so," she sighs. "Damn it, I don't want to go back to all the paperwork and stuff..."
"The paperwork can wait..." suddenly answers an unknown voice.
We all turn toward the door. Who dared to come in? Didn't she order everyone out?
A tall guy just walked in. I've seen him before... Isn't that her husband, what was his name again? Nicolas Black? Selena sighs and frowns, putting her hands on her hips.
"What are you doing here?" she asks.
"I heard there was trouble..."
His voice is ice cold, and he walks past me, but his aura is... terrifying. I shiver. Who the heck is that? I thought Selena's aura was impressive, but this guy's aura is... different. It's not as big, just cold as ice. I feel like he could kill someone without batting an eye. Just standing there, that guy is impressive. He walks up to her, putting an arm around her waist.
I realize it's his only arm. Whatever happened to the other, it's gone. His shirt's sleeve is empty. I try not to look at it, but it's a bit baffling. Though his arm is around his wife, he's still looking down at me. This guy is super scary. I swallow my saliva. I understand what Daniel said when he meant Selena went easy on me. With an aura like this, I would run away, and I'm sure she could have the same murderous aura as him. She pouts.
"What are you doing here? What about the girls?"
"I left them with Isaac. I was wondering what was going on..."
"As if you didn't hear it from the pack," she sighs. "Enough, Nate. We are going home."
"And the witch...?" he asks as if I wasn't here.
She rolls her eyes and slaps his shoulder.
"It's Clarissa, and she is my clan's problem. Mind your own business, Mr. Black."
Oh, so they really are from different packs... Another werewolf thing. He finally breaks down in a little smile and kisses her softly.
"Understood, Madam Whitewood. But let's go home."
His glare is on me again, and I get what he means. He wants her away from me... I don't say a thing, and Selena doesn't seem to mind his attitude either. She puts on her jacket and turns to me.
"You'll train with Ben as we did."
"I might... hurt him."
"He's a big boy and can handle himself. Moreover, if you could control yourself against me, you'll be able to control yourself against him. Just be sure not to burn anything, and work on your self-control. I already ruined one of my nights out, I'm not doing this again."
"I still have questions!" I protest, getting up with Kelsi's help.
"Same deal as before, little witch. As long as you can control yourself, you can go around and ask all you want. I'm busy, though, so we'll chat next time."
I'm a bit disappointed, but she already spent a long time training me. I feel like it's been one or two hours, at least, but I'm not sure. Selena and her husband leave, and honestly, I'm feeling a bit better once that guy leaves. I let out a long sigh. Daniel follows after them too, giving me a wink before exiting the room.
"Alright," sighs Ben. "Who needs a drink? Because I do!"
