“Keep running!” I shout in a commanding tone.

Rory glances back at me but she doesn’t stop. Her pace slows down, allowing her to jog more comfortably.

I watch her as she runs around the wide circumference of the lawn. When she draws nearer, I notice her panting for breath. A part of me wants to tell her to stop but the determined expression on her face stops me.

I reign in my overprotectiveness and let her keep going.

When fifteen minutes have passed, I see that she’s slowed down. Her gasps have grown louder and she’s starting to sweat profusely.

“That’s enough,” I call out to her.

“It’s not,” she says, panting hard.

“Rory, come here,” I say in a commanding tone. “You’ll hurt yourself if you overwork your body.”

Coming to a stop before me, she glares at me while panting hard.

“You need to build your stamina step by step,” I explain, hoping she’d understand my concern for her. “If you overdo it, you’ll hurt your muscles. Are you willing to waste time while recovering from such injuries?”

“No,” she says with an amusingly sullen expression.

Moving aside a sweaty lock of her dark hair, I kiss her cheek. “How about I teach you a few moves?”

Her expression lightens up immediately. “Sure!”

“Come on,” I say, leading her to the edge of the woods. The short walk would help to cool her down and prepare her for some more exercises.

I pick out a clearing under a group of silver birches and come to a stop. “I’ll show you how to protect yourself against an opponent who tries to use a weapon against you.”

“Really?” she says with an excited grin.

“These are some basic disarming techniques,” I tell her. “Use them if you’re in true danger. Otherwise, stay clear from opponents carrying knives and guns.”

A determined look comes into her silvery eyes as she gives a firm nod.

“Move closer,” I command.

When she’s close enough to me, I show her how to twist her thin wrists to get out of an opponent’s hold before quickly grabbing onto his forearm.

“You must execute this step with as much speed as you can,” I tell her. “The element of surprise is your main advantage here.”

She gives a firm nod, keeping her focus on me.

I show her how to grab and twist her opponent’s arm to make them let go of their weapon. It’s quite a simple move and would rarely work on a trained soldier but this is something no one would expect of an omega. It’ll give Rory the edge if she’s fighting against a beta woman.

“You try it now,” I tell her.

“All right.”

The determined look on her face sends a tendril of heat down my spine. My cock jerks awake as her slim fingers tighten around my thick wrist.

“Am I doing this right?” she asks through gritted teeth as she twists my wrist almost painfully.

“Uh-huh,” I say, pulling my arm away from her.

“Did that hurt?” she asks with a worried look on her pretty face.

“A little,” I say with a chuckle.
