Katie woke up the day afterwards later than they normally did. She looked to her side and found her mate soundly asleep beside her. Looking beyond him, she found that they'd missed the alarm. Either that or the man had decided to turn it off that night. Cole's hand unconsciously wrapped around her, "Where do you think you are going?" he grumbled, barely opening his eyes.
"Well, if you haven't noticed, we should be following the others for pack training," she tried, turning to face him in the bed. The royal made no effort to get out of the bed and showed no sign of letting her go.
"You've been exempted from that training considering you completely depleted your energy yesterday," Cole replied. His tone was commanding. Katie could tell he wasn't going to back down in this…
"Who decided that?" she asked, letting go of the tension in her muscles.
