The Alpha Train (Christina and Sebastian) novel Chapter 175

Chapter 108: Tyler

Tyler

I wake up like I always do now, curled around Haley. I know she‘ s afraid of what will happen in the future, but I truly don’t know how I could love anyone more than I love this woman. She’s wonderful, kind, thoughtful, and funny. She’s beautiful inside. and out. She’s exactly the type of woman I’ve always pictured. myself with, and now, she’s the perfect woman to stand by my side as Luna and help my pack heal after losing Tanner.

“You’re going to be late to meet Alpha Christina and Alpha Ezra,” she murmurs.

1 pull her more tightly against me. “You make it hard to want to leave this bed,” I murmur, making her laugh. “But I know you have to get up too. Breakfast has become my favorite meal of the day and it’s all because of you.”

She rolls over and cups my face in her hand. “I really do love you, Tyler. No matter what happens in the future…”

“Don’t. I love you too, Haley. I love you so much. Please don’t doubt that. I know you’re afraid, but we’ll work through it. Trust me, please.”

She lifts her head, pressing her lips to mine. “I do trust you.”

“Good. Now tell me what delicious food my delicious partner is making for me this morning,” I growl, nibbling on her neck and making her squeal. Since I can never seem to get enough of her,

I take a little longer this morning to make love to her, showing her with my body how much I really do love her.

When we get up, she turns and gives me a mock glare. “Now I’m ready to go back to bed!”

“Is that an offer?” I tease, prowling up to her.

She puts a hand on my chest to stop me. “You are entirely too sexy and if we both didn’t have work to do, I wouldn’t have let you out of bed to begin with,” she says, pressing a quick kiss to my lips to moderate the force out of her tone. “But we both do,” she says.

“Tonight then. It’s my last chance to win those ten points,” I tell her.

“Oh, we’re winning. I’m getting close to the losing count phase that Christina is always in.”

“Hmm, we’ll have to keep practicing then, even after this week, just to make sure I can get you to that point every single time we’re together,” I purr, smiling when her eyes go glassy.

“You’re ruining me for any other man, you know that?”

“Good, because I plan to be your man for the rest of our lives, Haley. Do you know that?” I say, meaning every word.

“I really hope so.”

“Just a few more weeks, beautiful and then we’ll know for sure.”

After kissing her goodbye at the dining hall, I jog outside to catch up to Ezra and Christina. The three of us have become very close over these past weeks. I don’t know what I expected

Chap 108 Tyler

when I came to the Academy, but creating these deep, meaningful friendships definitely wasn’t part of it.

Ezra and I are both nervous that our time in Communication class is coming. But we’ve both now had time to think through and work through some of our issues.

He and I, like Christina, are slowly working our way through all of the instructors on the Beast. We’ve both defeated all of them in human form and now we’re making our way through them in wolf form. The fire challenge still tends to get me. It’s terrifying to run through fire when you know your fur will ignite, and while I know the water is there, I still have a fear that it will malfunction, and I’ll burn to death.

I know where the fear comes from. My brother died in a car accident. He and his mate crashed, and the car burned up. I found out later that he didn’t die on impact. I just hope that he was unconscious when the car went up in flames. And that’s the thought that grabs me every time I get to the fire feature. It‘ s the thought that I have to push through to finish. Each time it gets a little easier.

The fire challenge has almost become the physical embodiment of my emotional battle of taking over for my brother. That too is also becoming a little easier every day.

So, today, when Alpha James calls me and Christina to the front of the class, Christina as Alpha, I feel more prepared to talk than I would have last week.

Christina smiles at me as we sit. “You know why we’re here.”

I tell her about the car accident, the fire feature on the Beast, and how I’ve started making that connection in my head that the easier it is for me to defeat the Beast, the easier it becomes for me to accept my role as the future Alpha of my pack.

“Well done, you two,” Alpha James says, stepping up.

“I didn’t do anything. I feel like Noah did when he talked with Liam,” Christina says.

“As I said before, you being you helps me every day,” I tell her.

“Anyone else have feedback?” Alpha James asks.

The others all tell me I’m doing well, or good job and I’ve stood, hugging Christina when he finally participates for the first time.

“Do you really think that working through our issues is what’s going to make us better Alphas?” Logan asks. His silence in all our classes has been glaringly obvious to everyone. It’s like he’s trying to fail this semester.

I turn and look at him. He’s not being arrogant or asking in a snarky way. He sounds like he really wants to know.

“Yes. I believe it. We all have shit we’re dealing with. We all have something or someone that is holding us back for one reason or another. If we can’t push through that, how are we supposed to lead a pack and help them get through their issues? If we’re not strong enough to face our own internal battles, or fears, or whatever it is, are we really worthy of leading a pack?”

I watch as he processes what I’ve said.

“Are you finally ready to start participating, Alpha Logan?” Alpha James asks him.

He looks around the room, then begins to nod his head slowly. “Yeah, I think I am

“Good. Alright everyone, another great class. Dismissed.”

Chapter 108

That night in the sex class, I watch Haley keep her hand raised. until Alpha Sebastian finally asked if she’d lost count of her orgasms. When her hand stays raised, I feel like the king of the world, not because I got another ten–point token, but because I made the woman I love feel that good.
