“I am reporting for duty,” I say to the guard, and he asks me for my acceptance letter. I pull it from my back pocket, and when I hand it to him, I take the chance to look around me.
Every Wolf and Lycan around me is staring at me. I am not sure whether it has to do with being female or with being only 5’5. Well, maybe it has to do with the fact that I just arrived on my Harley, and Amra is laughing in my head.
The Guard gives me directions to the main building, and after I put my helmet back on, I ride through the gate, heading towards my future. I watch the terrain as I slowly make my way over to the entrance.
The main building is where I will get my education and my meals, while most of the other buildings house the students.
The moment I pull to a stop, every Wolf and Lycan on the front steps turns around. Almost every female has a smile on their face as they look at my Harley, but the moment they look at me, those smiles falter.
I get off my bike and remove my helmet without looking at any of them, and I hear gasps when my black hair comes into view.
Elder Larson walks down the steps, and I hold out my acceptance letter. He nods his head as he takes it from me. He smiles when he opens it, and within a second, another Elder approaches us.
“You will be skipping the first two weeks of training; your test results were the best we ever had, and it would be a waste of time to make you attend.” Elder Larson says.
Most of the other Wolves and Lycans stare daggers at me, looking like they don’t like to find out that someone is smarter than them, and I have to stifle a smile when Elder Larson informs me I will only have to attend the introduction morning.
“I am Elder Emmett, and I will be your tutor for the next two weeks. We think you could become a great asset for the King, and I will put you through a few more tests to see if our instincts are correct.” Elder Emmett says.
The introduction morning showed me that most of these Wolves and Lycans think very highly of themselves.
They barely paid attention to Elder Larson as he explained what they could expect over the next two weeks, and during lunch, I could hear their remarks on some of the other students, remarks that pissed Amra off.
I did pay attention, and I got the hidden message that Elder Larson gave: excel in your classes, and you might end up as a team Captain. But the other hidden message he gave was one I would enjoy much more; if you failed, you would be sent home without a chance to ever be accepted again.
My two weeks with Elder Emmett were amazing, and I surprised him by passing every test he gave me. He tested my knowledge of the Pack hierarchy, my knowledge of our laws, and during my second week, he gave me hypothetical cases to solve.
I spent lunch with the rest of the students, and with each passing day, I grew more annoyed with them.
The worst out of them was Nigel, the second Son of the Alpha of Shadow Rock Pack, and a close second was Marge, the second Pup of Shadow Rock Pack’s Gamma. Both of them thought they were the best of the best, and both were arrogant enough to boast about it.
Today, we will hear who has made team Captain and who will be sent home. I doubt Nigel and Marge realize that they might be on that list, and I can’t wait to see the look on their faces when they hear that they are not as good as they seem to think.
I have watched the other students over the past two weeks, and I know who I will choose for my team if I get to choose my own team.
I sit down in a seat at the back of the room and let my eyes glide over the other students, all of them chatting among themselves.
Every conversation halts as Elder Larson steps onto the stage, and I hear a few gasps when the King follows him up there. Another thing most of them didn’t hear during the introduction morning.
“Good morning and welcome to the final day of the try-out weeks.” Elder Larson says, and I can see a lot of confused faces. Elder Emmett chuckles softly, and I glance at him to see a smirk on his face. I think they knew not everyone had been paying attention.
“Today, you will find out if you have what it takes to become part of the Lycan King’s Army or if you are being sent home. For those who end up in the group that gets sent home, a little warning. You will never get a second chance.” He explains, and I see a few faces pale.
Amra is chuckling in my head, and we both have an idea of who might be on the list to be sent home.
“I will start by announcing the team Captains, after that I will announce the students who failed, and last but not least, I will announce the Unit Commander.” He says, and everyone starts to mumble, another indication they didn’t pay attention during his speech on the introduction morning.
“This year’s students will be split into seven teams, meaning that only thirty-five students will remain by the end of the day, and that means that over forty students will be sent home.” Elder Larson explains.
