I watched Dane take the kids away, and I pouted as I clicked my tongue at him.
That was just a little cut that was barely bleeding. I know Tristan is stronger than that and he would be just fine if I put some ointment and applied a bandage.
I knew Tristan would prefer the care of his mother to the pack doctorâs, but Dane doesnât understand.
I shook my head as I waved at Sera, who turned to look at me. I feigned a smile, and when she turned back, I looked up to see Tristan had been watching me from Daneâs shoulder.
I waved at him, and he waved back at me too, pressing his lips ir to a smile. I sighed as I watched Dane bend a corner. I could no longer see the kids, so there was no need to fake this smile.
I frowned and dumped the sword on the floor. I was about to step on it out of frustration when I heard whistling nearby.
I raised my gaze to see Trajan walk up to me. He bent down. and picked up the sword, âPoor sword, you are suffering for someone elseâs mistake.â
I shook my head as I looked away. His jokes werenât getting to
me right now.
âI saw all that happened. You canât blame Dane for being so protective, can you?â
I rolled my eyes. âWell, being protective is different from being unreasonable⦠he is acting like I donât care about my kids.â
Trajan nodded as he listened. He had always been a good listener.
I pursed my lips and continued, âI also hate it that my Tristan got hurt, but that was a simple mistake⦠I was training the kids safely over here.â
Trajan nodded once again. âI agree, you were⦠but Dane didnât stay long enough to see that⦠all he saw was that Tristan fell, right? You canât blame him for being a caring father, can you?â
I nodded and groaned out loud. âYou are right.â I bent low and picked up the swords the kids had dropped on the floor. âHowâs the training going? Are there any issues I need to know about?â
I didnât hear a reply from Trajan. Had he left?
I turned to see Trajan right behind me, but his eyes were pinned elsewhere. I followed his gaze and noticed Joclyn far in the garden as she performed yoga.
I smiled softly. âIsnât she beautiful?â
âShe is so⦠beautiful,â he whispered.
Dane and the kids crossed my mind. I sighed. I need to go to them to see how they are doing.
I walked inside the training equipment storage room and dropped the wooden swords inside. I got out and walked away from the training ground.
Piper was now training the warriors to perfect their arrow shooting skills. She picked an arrow and fired a perfect shot at an apple in the tree. It pierced right through the center and divided it into two.
Piper is good. She has always been so good. I smiled as I turned and my eyes caught a sharp eye peering at Piper from a corner.
Evander? I shook my head and walked up to him.
âHey bud,â I nudged him and he turned to me.
âGood morning to the greatest luna of them all,â he replied.
I chuckled. âIsnât that going too far? Do not anger the moon. goddess by comparing me up to her.â
Evander shifted his gaze back to Piper. âNo, it isnât⦠some ladies are extraordinary⦠itâs just mortality that made them less.
g
*sses.â
I looked at Piper, and then him. It seemed he had switched this conversation from me to Piper as the case study.
I gulped as I looked around and saw Warrick sitting by the side, close to Piper. He was glaring at someone during the training and before I could guess, I saw I was right.
âWarrick,â I muttered.
Evander didnât know he would have Warrick to face if he wanted to get to Piper. I sighed as I looked at Evander.
He seemed so dazed as he stared at her. I feel so bad for him. He wanted something he couldnât have. I knew who was truly in Piperâs heart. Warrick has her heart, just that their stubbornness was not going to let them stay together.
I patted Evanderâs back and I walked on towards the pack doctorâs place.
I reached and I saw Tristan sitting on a chair inside. He was all alone.
Tristan?â I called and walked in. âHow are you feeling now?â
He turned to me and smiled. âMuâ¦â he coughed as he tried to
talk.
bbed the cup of water on the table and I handed it to him. âI ere,â I said. He took it, and as he was about to drink from it, Dane took the bottle from him.
âNo⦠donât drink that,â Dane said and handed him a cup of warm herbal tea.
âDane?â I turned to him. âWhen did you come?â
âRight in time to save you from giving this child cold water, even as he was sick.â
âSick?â I repeated with my brows crossed.
I turned to Tristan and he coughed again, his eyes were red and dim, his skin looked pale.
âHow is he sick all of a sudden?â
