Abigail's POV

I run for my dear life through the pack house, laughing my ass off with an almost naked Xander chasing me.

Apparently he didn't find it funny when I put shaving cream on his hand, and tickled his face, causing him to slap a giant palm full of shaving cream all over his face while napping. I raced down the stairs with him hot on my tail.

"Get back here you little devil!" Xander yelled.

I swing the front door open and yell back, "catch me if you can!"

I try to pick up my pace, but I'm laughing so hard I'm finding it hard to run.

I normally would have no problem out running him, but I can barely breathe from laughing so hard.

You should have seen the look of shock on his face with the cream all over it as he laid there looking at his hand in a daze!

Another wave of laughter rolls through me as Xander tackles me to the ground. He straddles my lap with his knees resting on my arms, pinning them down.

"So you think that was funny, huh?" He said with an evil smirk on his face.

"It....it was hilarious!" I laughed out!

"Is that so?" He says, then attacks my sides, tickling me until I can barely breathe. I laugh so hard my lungs are desperate for air. I finally managed to get a plea out.

"Please, I can't breathe!" I Said through my laughter, and he finally stopped his vicious attack on my sides.

After a few deep breaths, he leaned down and growled in my ear,

"Now that wasn't very nice kitten.

What have I told you about playing pranks on me? You know the last one didn't go over so smoothly when you decide to saran wrap the toilet.

Maybe your punishment wasn't harsh enough, huh." Xander said then he took my earlobe between his teeth.

I couldn't help the laugh that escaped me thinking about the last prank.

He suddenly jumped up and grabbed me firmly around the waist, then threw me over his shoulders in one quick movement, and started marching back toward the pack house.

"Put me down you brute!" I yelled.

I felt a sharp sting on my ass, when he smacked me on the ass, causing me to take a sharp breath in.

"You've been a very bad kitty!" he said then smacked my other cheek hard, causing me to yelp.

"This time I'm not taking it easy on you" he said and smacked my other cheek which I'm sure was already red from the first slap. I started wiggling and hitting his back yelling put me down. Unfortunately I felt another slap on my ass cheek, before he spoke again.

"Quiet down and stop moving. The more you fight me the worse the punishment will be." Xander said, which made me freeze and stop moving.

I was relieved when he stopped, and froze before entering the packhouse. He must have received a link because after a few moments he set me down.

"Looks like your punishment is going to have to wait." He said, grabbing my chin as he brought his face dangerously close to mine.

"Don't think you're getting out of this." He said before he gave me a quick peck on the lips.

"Come on, it seems the Alpha is ready to head to the training field." Xander said, as he grabbed my hand and led me back to the room so we could get dressed.

Thaddeus POV

Aiden and Abigail have been going at it for over an hour now. He seems to be getting the hang of moving things.

When he finally moved his first object he was so excited. His face lit up, and he looked at me with the biggest smile on his face.

They started off with a tennis ball since it's small and light. Once he got the hang of that, they moved to something bigger and heavier. And that's what they kept doing, moving onto something bigger and heavier once Aiden got the hang of it.

Right now he's currently trying to lift Abigail. He's managed to lift her maybe a foot or two off the ground and hold her there for a few seconds.

"Aiden, you're losing focus. You need to focus harder on what you're trying to lift, and right now is me. Don't think of anything else, just me.... All right, let's go again." Abigail said.

Aiden closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, gathering all his focus , before opening his eyes. When he opens his eyes, they lock in on Abigail. I watch Aiden's eyes begin to glow bright blue as he raises his hands out towards her.

His hand moves in a way, almost as if he's grabbing her, but he's not. She's at least 10 ft away from him. As he makes the grabbing motion, he begins to raise his arms higher. As he does this, his eyes begin to grow brighter and she starts to lift off the ground, and into the air.

I watch as this time, Aiden manages to bring Abigail, at least 5 ft in the air and hold her there for over a minute, before she drops to the ground.

She squealed and ran toward him, engulfing him in a giant hug while jumping up and down yelling,

"you did it! You did it!... I knew you could do it!" She said, squealing.

Aiden had the biggest smile on his face, as he chuckled with her.

"Alright, now I want you to do Xander!" She said, and Xander's eyes went wide in surprise.

"Uh, ok?" He said, hesitantly as he walked over and took his spot.

It took Aiden a few goes before he was able to get Xander in the air and hold him there just like he did with Abigail.

Abigail on the other hand seems like a pro lifting and moving things. When she first demonstrated to Aiden how to use his ability and lift things, she used it. Xander as her guinea pig.

It looked as though she had been doing this for years. She easily lifted him in the air and over her head, before moving your arms as if she was throwing something. The next thing I know, Xander goes flying through the air, across the training field and into a bush.

Of course, Abigail thought this was hysterical, and fell to the ground laughing her ass off. Which then turned into an angry Xander chasing her around the field until he tackled a heavily laughing Abigail to the ground.

"Okay now I want to move on to our next ability." She said, while walking towards Aiden.

This peaked my interest so I moved closer.

"Okay I'm going to show you mine first, because I'm not really sure how to explain using it." she said.

Abigail held her right hand out between her and Aiden, her eyes began glowing bright blue. A moment later her hand started glowing blue, you could see little static-like sparks bouncing around her fingers.

"Interesting...This feels different." Abigail said as she turned away from Aiden.

She looked around for a moment while her hand was still doing the static thing.

As she looked around, it looked like she found what she was looking for. She then aims her hand toward the tree. She took a deep breath as her eyes began to glow even brighter.

Next thing I know a bright blue ball of energy shot from her hand, hitting the tree and breaking off a huge chunk.

She immediately began squealing while jumping up and down.

"Oh my gosh, did you guys see that! oh my gosh, oh my gosh!" Abigail yelled excitedly, while the rest of us looked at the tree with our mouths hanging open, stunned.

"Guys, That was so freaking cool!" She said, bring our attention back to Abigail.

"How... How did you do that?" Aiden asked.

"I don't really know how to explain." she said.

"Gosh this would be so much easier if you remembered...

"Okay let's try this. Hold your hand out." Abigail said as she grabbed his hand and held it out, in front of him.

"Okay I want you to focus, kind of like you did when you were moving things okay." Abigail said, and he nodded his head.

"Okay once you've cleared your head, focus on your hand. Imagine your hand turning into fire, I guess is the best way to explain it. Focus on that warm sensation you feel in your chest. You'll know it when you feel it. Bring that sensation up through your arm and into your hand." Abigail said as she tried to explain.

"Okay now go ahead and give it a try." she said as she let go of his hand and took a step back.

Aiden looked down at his hand, closed his eyes and took several slow breaths before opening his eyes, and focusing on his hand.

After a minute passed he dropped his hand and let out a breath in frustration.

"This isn't working, I can't do this!" Aiden said, frustrated.

Abigail let out a sigh, then stood next to Aiden and reached for his hand. She lifted it, extending it back out in front of him.

"Here I will help you. Now focus. Don't think of anything else, just your hand."

"Now, focus on that warm tingly sensation deep in your chest, try to feel for that." Abigail said as Aiden stood there with his eyes closed, listening to what she said.

Abigail stood just behind Aiden, slightly to his right. Her right hand, under his arm just above his wrist, and the other around him, with her hand on his left shoulder.

Abigail closed her eyes like she was focusing too.

"Do you feel that?" Abigail asked in a quiet voice.

"Yes." He whispered.

"Pull that feeling up and through your chest. Pull it through your arms and into your hand." Abigail said in a quiet voice.

With his eyes still closed, Aiden took slow steady breaths, then suddenly, his eyes shot open glowing bright while looking at his hand.

Almost instantly, his hand began to glow red.

"That's it Aiden, you're doing it!" She said,

"Focus harder on it, imagine it getting bigger." She said, looking at his hand.

The next thing I knew, a little flame started flickering out of his hand.

Abigail dropped her hands from Aiden, and took a few steps away.

"You're doing it!" She whispered. I could see how happy, how proud she was.

"Make it bigger." Abigail said, her voice still soft, but a little louder than a whisper.

He turned away from us and raised his hand to the air while still focusing on his hand. The next moment a large flame shot out of his hand into the sky.

His hand dropped lazily to his side and his eyes went back to normal as he turned to face us.

"Wow!" He whispered as he started swaying. The next thing I knew his knees buckled as his eyes rolled back and he started falling.

My stomach dropped, but Xander caught him just before he hit the ground.

I hurried over, grabbing Aiden out of Xander's arms, and pulling him into my lap, against my chest.

I laid his head back, then began patting his cheek and calling out to him

"Aiden, Aiden!"

He let out a little moan and turned his head into me with his eyes still closed.

I let out a breath, and dropped my head, relief washing over me when I realized he was okay. I think he just overexerted himself.

"I'm going to take him back to my room and lay him down." I said, gathering Aiden in my arms. I was thankful Xander began pushing my chair so I could hold my mate.

Once in my room I laid Aiden on the bed. I went around to the other side and pulled myself into bed with him. I pulled the covers over us and reached over, wrapping my arm around Aiden's waist, and pulling him against me.

He rolled into me, nuzzling his face against my chest and throwing a leg over me while wrapping his arms around me.

I smiled at his cuteness and knowing he was okay. I squeezed him tighter and kissed his head. I closed my eyes, enjoying laying here, holding my mate in my arms. I smiled, as I drifted off to sleep with my little mate wrapped around me.
