Chapter 194
“What’s all this?”
“Stella thought you may need more than just a shake, so she had me pack a few things for after
your early morning training that would be fast to eat.” She winks at me and gives me a knowing
look. “Just let me know when you run low and I can get you more and put the bottle in with the lunch
dishes today and I ‘ll have another ready for you tomorrow, okay?”
“You are seriously a lifesaver!” I take the Shaker bottle and bag, giving her a big smile. “Thank you
so much! Please let me know if I can help you all out here, I mean it.” She smiles, but waves me off.
I head out back, ready to meet Audrina.
“You’re late. I know Warrior Brogen told you we do not tolerate lateness here. That’s your second
strike and you’ve only been here for a day. And what are you carrying? I didn’t tell you to bring
anything.”
“What was my first strike?” I try to keep the b*tchiness out of my voice, but it is very difficult. This girl
is going to try and get me kicked out for infractions. She’s got another thing coming if she thinks it’s
going to be that easy. “And I came prepared. You didn’t expect me to go through an entire morning
of training on an empty stomach did you?”
“You were late yesterday and missed classes. And no one gets into the kitchens early. Did you steal
food?” Ah, that was her plan. To have the school report me for skipping.
“Actually, I didn’t miss a thing. My schedule was inaccurate, but thank the Goddess I had a question
for the secretary anyway and double checked my lessons. I’m so thankful that you were looking out
for me and made sure I started training right by having to use my observation skills. That was really
helpful. Wyatt enjoyed his time amongst the high school girls too. He was the perfect tour guide.
You are great at pairing people up.” I walk up to her side. “You wanted to assess me yourself, I
assume. Where to?” I’m not even going to grace her ‘stolen food’ comment. I’m sure if she was nice
and actually asked, the kitchen Omegas would help her too, but she acts like they are her servants
and below her because they aren’t warriors like her.
I have no idea who is watching, I have to assume she is no better than Kaley and has someone
recording our interactions and I will give them no reason to think that I instigated anything. Two of
us can play this game.
“To the gauntlet. I want to see you complete it myself. I think Warrior Brogen allowed you to get in
without a real assessment or discussion. The leaders of the compound were not even aware that
you were joining until you showed up on my floor. I want to see what I have to deal with before we
get to team training.”
She’s mad she didn’t get a say in whether I was allied to be here or not, got it. I wonder if that is all
this is, or if it goes deeper? I guess I’ll know after this morning.
We walk over to the gauntlet again. AT least this time I have an idea of what I’m doing. The
difference here is there are no lights and the sun hasn’t started to rise. My werewolf sight helps, but
working in the dark isn’t ideal for anyone, enhanced senses or not.
“Do I have a goal or time limit? Anything I need to keep in mind while I’m doing this?” I ask the
same thing I asked Warrior Osiston.
“Just get through the course, like your first day.” She rolls her eyes. Okay, she doesn’t believe I did
that either.
Same as when I was here with Warrior Osiston, I lined up at the end of the poles stuck into the
ground and waited for her signal to start.
