I turned to see Gareth striding angrily down the lawn. When I noticed his narrowed eyes and the veins on his neck bulging, my stomach dropped.
Quickly, I scrambled off of Axel's lap, almost falling on my butt.
Axel shot to his feet and helped me up.
As soon as I was steady, I let go of his hands. I murmured a quick thank you and shuffled to the side, near Michelle.
Why did Gareth look so angry? He was sneering and staring down at his nephew with rage. Sure, Gareth found Axel and me in a compromising position, but we weren’t doing anything wrong.
Wasn’t it obvious that we were sparring? I was learning new moves from a future Alpha that I could teach his daughter. It was also good for Michelle to watch two people fighting. She could see our techniques better that way.
“What the hell were you two doing?” Gareth demanded, looking between his nephew and me.
